The terrifying gravity instantly annihilated all the Calamity Dragon in front of them!
Only one Full Blossom at its peak.
The threat, already deadly enough, now appeared before the Full Bloom Iris.
Like a lamb to the slaughter, the dragon's breath was distorted by gravity and even refracted back.
With its superhuman defense and regeneration capabilities, it was disintegrated by gravity, and all the Calamity Dragon were wiped off the world in an instant.
Qingluan stared blankly at Iris; her originally blue demonic attire had now turned bluish-black.
At this moment, my whole body feels like a giant Black Hole.
The dark blue magical girl floated, glanced back, and then turned her head away again.
His eyes were even somewhat vacant, and his once warm smile was gone.
Even his pupils lost all color, as if they had absorbed all light and emotion.
Qingluan sensed a faint aura of decay emanating from her friend...
Just like my seniors.
The Hidden Gate was instantly erased by gravity, and all the spatial passages within it were destroyed by gravity.
Gravity converged in front of the Iris, forming a massive Black Hole. The other flying Calamity Dragon, and even other Mirror Beast, were instantly sucked into the Black Hole and turned into dust.
However, apart from the Calamity Beast, neither the Qingluan nor Little White was sucked in. The Black Hole continued to expand, but it was only absorbing the Mirror Beast...
However, as the Black Hole expanded, the scent of the Iris grew increasingly faint.
The Qingluan struggled forward, gazing at the Iris floating blankly in the air, calling her name, " Iris!"
But there was no response; Iris seemed to have lost consciousness.
He simply allowed the Black Hole around him to continue expanding.
"In terms of talent, Iris's Full Bloom might not be as good as yours. There's no way around it; it's too much of a burden for her to bear alone, but she's also prepared for it."
Little White, half-sitting on the ground, simply swayed its tail lightly and squinted its eyes. "If Little Qing were to Full Bloom, it would definitely be stronger than the Iris. After all, Little Qing is the best flower that I personally nurtured, bit by bit."
" Little White, why... why did you do this...?"
Little White tilted her head slightly, "What are you talking about, Little Qing? It's because you're going to die, and you don't want to Full Bloom, so I found someone to replace you. Little Qing is an important partner of mine, I can't watch you die."
"That shouldn't have happened! Iris shouldn't have been Iris here!"
"But she did it willingly," Little White said, feeling wronged. "She was willing to sacrifice her life to save you and everyone else, to step into the realm of Full Bloom. She said she was the strongest magical girl and wouldn't die because of Full Bloom."
"She said she wanted to make you smile, Little Qing, and she's done it! You should be happy for her and smile for her!"
"How could you possibly laugh!"
The Qingluan, clutching its own seed, transformed and flew towards the Iris, trying to pull her back from that bottomless abyss.
However, the Iris inside the Black Hole continuously loses its vitality and power, remaining completely still.
The power of the Full Bloom was allowed to spread wildly!
Qingluan was repelled before she could even get close. Although the Full Bloom power of the Iris did not harm her, it prevented her from getting any closer.
It surged forward again, and this time the rebound was even more terrifying.
Under the immense pressure of gravity, the mere act of activating magic already caused unimaginable pain to the body!
"[ Radiance That Forges One's Own Body ]!"
Even without cards, the enhancement magic could be used, causing a burst of white light to erupt from its body. The enhanced Azure Qingluan charged forward once again like a madman!
However, with just one step, immense gravity pressed down on her, instantly burying Qingluan into the ground, making it almost impossible for her to stand up.
She looked up at the figure floating in the Black Hole, the friend who had saved her several times.
It is merging with the figures of its mother and predecessors.
It seems like nothing has changed.
A scene that has echoed in my mind countless times.
It happened in reality once again.
Qingluan struggled on, frantically squeezing out her magic power, and stood up again in the gravity field, walking forward step by step, constantly reaching out her hand towards Iris.
With its last half leg crushed into the ground, Qingluan, who had staggered and fallen to the ground, finally calmed down.
He kept grabbing at the soil on the ground, his fingers filled with dirt, his fingernails flipped up, desperately trying to crawl out!
"Don't waste your energy, she's already lost consciousness. Any kind of miracle can be triggered, any wish can be granted—that's the power of Full Bloom magical girl. But, whether it's magic or a miracle, it all comes at a price."
Qingluan stopped what she was doing and looked at the Little White that had grown up with her since it was a cub. The unfamiliar chill she felt was stronger than ever before.
Every day and night, they're by my side, eating with me, sleeping with me, going to school with me, and fighting with me.
Little White, who is inseparable from her every step of the way, has practically taken up half of her life...
The Incubators smiled gently and happily. "If Little Qing feels sad, then Full Bloom too. After Full Bloom, bear the price for Iris's Full Bloom."
"If it's Little Qing, maybe she can change fate, save Iris, and overturn everything before us."
"The unavoidable costs and withering— Little Qing should just overturn them all. That way, Iris will surely be happy."
"Or is it that even so, Little Qing will still hesitate? She's always so indecisive, which is why Little Qing is always..."
"Let me Full Bloom!" Qingluan cried, her hands, dripping with blood and filthy, clutching the seed. "I want to Full Bloom!"
The Incubators stood up and walked towards Qingluan. "Then close your eyes and make a wish. Let's work together to create a miracle, save that idiot Iris, and fulfill the wishes of magical girls. That's our mission! This time, we can definitely do it..."
[ Heavenly Tribulation Prepared]
[ The Heaven and Earth Spirit-Locking Six-Nine Heavenly Lightning has been locked.]
[With an unstable foundation, not yet at perfection, recklessly attempting to break through to the ultimate realm, divine punishment will descend!]
Before the Incubators could finish speaking, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky! It pierced through the Mental Image Remnants and crashed down on the Iris!
The deep purple lightning, that magical aura—it was undoubtedly Miss Shion's!
The terrifying lightning even turned the Black Hole around the Iris purple!
The Qingluan, who had just prepared itself to Full Bloom, was stunned. Even the Incubators, after being tumbled several times by the impact of the heavenly lightning, looked at the rolling lightning with disbelief in its dark eyes.
"What's this..."
Although the first bolt of lightning dyed the Black Hole purple, it failed to dispel Black Hole. The Iris inside continued to lose its vitality and power, like a deflated balloon.
"As expected..."
Just as the Incubators was about to let the Qingluan Full Bloom, a second bolt of heavenly lightning struck down with a deafening roar!
This time, the Black Hole surrounding the Iris dissipated somewhat!
Then came the second, third, and fourth...
A continuous stream of lightning struck down from the sky, completely shattering the Black Hole around Iris!
Qingluan licked her lips. The many emotions and resolve that had surged within her were now in disarray, and she felt somewhat dizzy from being struck by those bolts of lightning.
She watched as the final bolt of lightning crashed down on Iris, causing the blooming flower atop Iris's head to begin to shrink!
Qingluan had seen the seeds of her predecessors after Full Bloom; after flowering, they would gradually wither away.
After they have all withered, they will fall into a permanent slumber.
But before my eyes, the blooming Iris flower had shrunk... or rather, retreated!
It transformed back into a blue Miracle Seed!
[ Heavenly Tribulation Quest: Defeating Your Realm]
[Task Completed]
[Transcending tribulation is a common occurrence for immortals; young lady, please start over.]
Qingluan looked around and realized that the sound was coming from the mirror next to her.
The system voice of the Land of Mirrors?
Seeing the girl lying on the ground, no longer exuding the aura of decay and loss of life, Qingluan finally snapped out of her shock.
Not knowing whether her emotions were relief, astonishment, or even the ecstasy of surviving a disaster, Qingluan ran over and picked up Iris.
Although she was hit directly by the purple magical lightning, Iris was completely unharmed.
Did the purple magical lightning simply eliminate her magic power and magical armor along with it, causing a magical power gap and resulting in the failure of her Full Bloom?
No, it's possible it did something else that Qingluan didn't know about.
Was that... Miss Shion's power?
She really can do anything...
Sensing the Miracle Seed of the Iris, the pure magic within it had diminished considerably.
But most of it was just Remnants.
Although Qingluan didn't know how to describe it, there was a kind of emotion left over after it had been Remnants within the seed.
It looks like sugarcane that has been chewed and then dried.
What is this thing...?
Suddenly, Little White jumped up from behind and landed on Iris's body.
"Ah, what a pity, it was so close to success."
Little White let out a sigh, then tilted its head, and a milky white light began to shine from its body.
"As expected of a special individual, Magical Girl Shion is quite troublesome. She can even do something like this, interrupting her Full Bloom. There's really nothing I can do about it."
As the milky white light shone from Little White's body, the Miracle Seed of the Iris began to continuously release power towards the milky white light.
Even the Iris itself began to lose its power and life force again...
Qingluan grabbed Little White and held it down tightly. "What are you doing, Little White?!"
The transformed magic gathered in its hands, preventing the Incubators from continuing to draw power from the Iris.
"She didn't do anything, just made her pay the price for a miracle. Wouldn't it be strange if she ate without paying, Little Qing?"
This time, Qingluan finally ignored the Incubators's nonsense and said, word by word, "You deceived Iris Full Bloom! And you wanted to kill her, didn't you!"
"I didn't lie to her. I told her the price of the Full Bloom, and she agreed. It's a fair deal. I won't kill her; I'll just make her pay the price of a miracle. Afterward, she can still live on in her eternal dream. Isn't that good?"
The surrounding Mental Image Remnants were beginning to crumble, and the glass above our heads was displaced by various spatial distortions, making everything around us unstable.
Qingluan breathed heavily, clutching Little White.
This companion, with whom she had lived for over a decade, was now looking at her with an innocent yet sad expression.
"Like, Senior?" Qingluan asked in a low voice, "Like, Senior, never to wake up again?"
"Perhaps she'll wake up."
"How long are you going to keep lying to me, Incubators!"
The Incubators blinked its dark, round pupils. "I've never lied to you, Little Qing. We're best friends, why would I lie to you?"
Amidst dust, pebbles, and shards of fallen glass, she bowed her head and embraced her best friend.
Various breaking sounds came from around her, the deafening roar making her dizzy.
The girl in his arms was breathing slightly, her chest rising and falling.
When they came to their senses, they had already gripped the Incubators's neck tightly and lifted it up.
"Are you going to kill me, Xiao Qing...?"
The Incubators, struggling to breathe, made a face that looked like it was about to cry. "Aren't we... partners?"
The Qingluan raised its head and smiled. "Yes, Little White is my best partner."
When she lost her mother, was disliked by her father, and was all alone, it was Little White stayed by her side, keeping her company and comforting her.
She still remembers the night she lost her mother and was almost killed by her father; the Incubators sat by her bedside and stroked her head with its claws.
He gently comforted her, telling her not to be afraid and that she hadn't done anything wrong.
All the hardships were meant to make her the most dazzling magical girl.
It was Little White who gave Qingluan the dream of becoming a magical girl.
It was Little White who would sit by her pillow every night, telling her stories of magical girls to lull her to sleep, and even singing to her.
It was Little White who described to her what a miracle looked like and told her the color of happiness. She regained her courage to live until she was able to step out of her home and face the whole world.
"Then, why...?"
The girl, tilting her head and smiling, had tears welling up in her eyes. "The days I spent with Little White were truly happy and blissful. Without you, I wouldn't be able to become a magical girl, and I don't even know how I would survive."
"I really, really like Little White the most."
Layer upon layer of space collapsed, and the Incubators kicked at Qingluan's hands with its four legs, trying to break free from her restraints. However, Qingluan simply exerted her strength again naturally.
A cracking sound came from the Incubators's neck.
But a pet is just a pet.
His once dark eyes gradually dimmed and lost their light.
No matter how many times you call them partners, they're still just pets.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down the girl's face, her efforts to maintain a smile distorted and torn, "People are the most important thing, people are the most important thing, Little White!"
A snap.
She looked at the Incubators, which had completely lost its life, limp and no longer moving, and let go of its hand.
The Incubators's body gradually dissipated.
She hugged the Iris tightly.
"I... I won't make the wrong choice again, Mom. I'll never make the wrong choice again..."
The next moment, the entire Mental Image Remnants finally collapsed.
Qingluan quickly composed herself and began thinking about how to escape with Iris in her arms.
A strange heat suddenly came from the soles of her feet, making her feel somewhat dazed.
Looking down, countless purple magical lines, like blood vessels, quickly filled the entire Mental Image Remnants!
"After An Shiyu arrived, we wanted to protect her, but the Land of Mirrors reacted very quickly and found her and trapped her immediately. But in reality, if we wanted, we could use An Shiyu's body to Full Bloom and then regain control of the Mental Image Remnants."
"But if we do that, An Shiyu's body might be harmed, and it could even cause her to lose her seed and be unable to become a magical girl again. So if possible, we hope that someone else can handle this matter."
"Thanks to your appearance, we no longer need to worry about the collapse of our Mental Image Remnants."
While traversing the turbulent Mirror Space, Mujin, using An Shiyu's body, still had time to chat with Shion, "I didn't expect that not only is your magical power terrifying, but your control over it is also so exaggerated... Most Full Bloom magical girls haven't been at the Full Bloom stage for very long, so I can tell you with certainty that there shouldn't be any Full Bloom magical girl whose control over magical power is as precise as yours."
"Is it possible that it's just you who can't do it?"
"Absolutely impossible! We've been in Full Bloom for quite a while now!"
Mujin immediately retorted, and then, as she moved forward in the mirror-like torrent, she slightly deviated from her direction, and could see the distorted space rolling in like ocean waves!
Shion clenched her fist and was about to throw a punch, but Mujin quickly grabbed her, casually opened up a spatial area, and hid inside.
Until that distorted spatial wave subsided.
"If you act recklessly here, you might fall into a crevice and lose your way back. You can't be rash."
Mujin was originally holding Shion's hand, but noticing An Shiyu's happiness, she simply intertwined her fingers with hers. Shion looked over and just jokingly said, "We're afraid of getting lost."
Noticing that An Shiyu was so embarrassed she was about to faint, Mujin muttered to herself, "How can someone who's so easily embarrassed ever win over a boy like that?"
Then he said to Shion:
"However, while Full Bloom might be slightly inferior to you in terms of pure magic power, Full Bloom's greatest strength lies in extending Personal Reality through the Mental Image Domain. For example, our Mental Image Domain, if at its peak, could easily send you back to that world. So, you should still be careful when you encounter Full Bloom."
"Nature."
After wandering for an unknown amount of time in the chaotic Mirror Space, Mujin finally stopped and pointed to a huge mirror next to her.
"It's here, but because of the Land of Mirrors's blockade, I estimate it will take quite a while..."
Shion smashed the huge mirror with a single punch, and her purple magic precisely and subtly melted a passage in the door behind the mirror!
Mujin sighed, "You're making our spatial abilities seem useless..."
After the two walked into the passage, the core of the backup system of the Mirror Space came into view.
In the center was a huge screen, on which various data and incomprehensible texts flowed continuously, and images from the Mental Image Remnants flashed intermittently.
On either side were the large glass jars that had previously trapped An Shiyu, more than a dozen in total, all filled with Mujin.
Mujin then jumped to the front and pointed to the screen in front of her.
"All the research data on the Land of Mirrors regarding the Full Bloom magical girls that you want to know is here."
