Keke put Golden Tea and the others in the car, then towed the car towards the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Because they were infected by the Filthy Magic Power, the group was in poor condition and could not even be woken up.
Keke can't drive, and she's too old to learn how to drive.
I don't have the ability to carry several people with me when I'm in a hurry, and at times like this, I really envy the Iris- senpai who came before.
If it were Iris- senpai, she could carry as many people as she wanted, as long as she controlled gravity.
After contacting the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, they discovered that Senior Peony had also fainted.
After all, he's a lazybones who always likes to run away and avoid training, so it's normal that he can't handle the white mist. After all, without proper training, the white mist's penetration is too silent and stealthy.
Moreover, since Peony had received paid leave from Iris- senpai last time, she hadn't experienced being shrouded in white mist at all, so she never thought it was a big deal.
Every time I let her train, I would say things like, "The enemy will probably only use the same move once," and so on.
Well, that's it, I've been hit directly.
Keke has no right to judge others.
After all, she never skipped training, and every time she trained diligently, she still got caught... which was even more embarrassing.
Sigh... she's a little good-for-nothing, cute and incredibly skilled. All she knows is that Heaven-Imprisoning Finger technique, which she practices beautifully, pressing down on the Calamity Beast and then... um?
After towing the cart for ages, Keke finally remembered that she could use the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger.
So he simply picked up the entire car with two fingers, carefully lifted it, and flew it straight towards the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Glancing at Beihai, the city now looked somewhat chaotic. It was clear that Shion- sensei and the Magical Girl Killer hadn't held back in their battle, or rather, hadn't bothered to, resulting in the city being destroyed in a mess.
The Mochi newbies are going to have a tough time again...
Fortunately, the Azure Cloud Sect has always been meticulous in protecting the lives of its citizens. The number of magical girls patrolling just one block is more than that of the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. Despite the large-scale operation, there were actually very few deaths; at most, a few people were injured, but only slightly.
Keke found it all quite amazing and wondered how the people of the Azure Cloud Sect had managed to do it.
Although she was working hard to improve her control over magic, she eventually realized that it wasn't something that could be achieved through practice alone.
When anything reaches its peak, what matters most is talent. Keke felt that she lacked a little bit of talent in the precision of her magic control...
However, it's not just her; within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, her precision in controlling magic is already the highest.
Of course, at this time she didn't know that Susan could transform and had passed the inner door test.
I'm just trying to console myself that getting first place in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is already quite an achievement.
Compared to the magical girls of the Azure Cloud Sect, it's still too early. We can continue to work hard later.
What worries her most right now is Ms. Shion.
Previously, Captain Yinlian had told her that Shion- sensei was not human, and now she vaguely sensed that there seemed to be more than one Shion.
If someone is indeed impersonating Shion, what is their purpose? What malicious intent do they harbor?
She even forgot to ask Ms. Shion why she had told her that her brother wouldn't be coming back.
Should I ask about this next time? But what if I ask and get a bad answer?
Will I be murdered to silence me...?
Thinking of Witch Shion's smile and the way she casually gouged out eyeballs, Coco's legs actually Keke a little weak.
Although she's still very charming, she's terrifying; although she's definitely more charming, she's also quite perverted.
She didn't know if she would have the courage to question Ms. Shion when they faced each other.
In fact, if Ms. Shion just gave a perfunctory reply, Keke felt she wouldn't be able to continue asking questions.
This is so difficult...
When they flew to the main road in the suburbs, they felt their bodies getting heavier and heavier.
She thought it was because she was too tired.
But after flying for a while longer, they realized something was wrong.
The Filthy Magic Power on his body is gradually disappearing.
After landing from the sky and parking the car, Keke closed her eyes, sensing the direction in which the magic power of her magical costume was flowing away.
With a flick of his wrist, a magic wand appeared in his hand, which he pointed at a Little Grass near the factory.
Without any warning, a magic cannon shot blasted straight at it!
A figure jumped out in a disheveled state.
It rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping. Keke looked closely and frowned. " Magical Girl Hunter?"
"Ha ha."
Helen straightened her blonde hair, then stared blankly at Keke. "That's right, it's me, Magical Girl Liuli. Your end has come!"
Keke snorted, "I didn't expect you to dare come. You've got some guts."
"Haha!" Helen laughed without much emotion. "Even if you owed millions in loans, you'd still have the same backbone as me. A person's potential can be unleashed, little girl."
Although she and her older brother had always relied on each other and lived a somewhat frugal life, Keke, who had almost never worried about money, was taken aback.
In Helen's eyes, he exuded a kind of innocent naiveté, typical of students who had never been to society.
"Fall into depravity, Keke."
Holding a strange controller, the Magical Girl Hunter roared, "Pay off my loan, Keke!"
The Filthy Magic Power emanating from Keke immediately began to stir.
Helen smiled.
No problem, it's a backup plan our captain left behind!
Our captain is amazing! Even in death, he leaves me with hope of turning the tide!
If Coco Keke be controlled, she too can achieve a miraculous comeback and live a second life!
However, as the Filthy Magic Power on Keke gradually subsided, it even took back some of its Filthy Magic Power.
Helen uttered three blank "Huh?" sounds.
You're not just a magical girl, how come your control over Filthy Magic Power is more skillful than ours, witches?
However, Keke had no intention of wasting time talking to her.
She could clearly sense that the other person wanted to control her.
Furthermore, the captain's witch transformation clearly involved leaving some kind of control mechanism within herself, to the point that she even felt a sense of loss of control just now.
If it weren't for Shion- sensei teaching her beforehand how to control Filthy Magic Power,
At that moment, she might be forcibly transformed into a witch and lose control!
The thought of being controlled and potentially harming friends and family, or even going so far as to eat ten more of Shion- sensei's eyeballs...
Keke felt no pity whatsoever.
The Filthy Magic Power and pure magical power instantly conjured a small Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus.
By the time Helen realized what was happening and tried to escape, it was too late; the two-colored Fire Lotus slammed into her face!
When the intense heat exploded before her, Helen felt relieved.
So be it, I'm dead.
It would be better to be blown up like this, since with the loans she's currently carrying, if she were to return to the Witch Association, who knows what kind of torment she would be subjected to, perhaps even a fate worse than death.
There are still more good people among magical girls.
Just as she calmly accepted death, she suddenly felt a blinding light, followed by dizziness.
When I came to my senses...
Cold... shivering...
I squinted and carefully opened my eyes, finding myself lying in a bright, open space.
Above was a giant sphere of light.
Welcome to the Main God Space.
Huh? Is this what heaven looks like?
Wait, what makes me qualified to go to heaven?
No, it should be said, what right does Heaven have to accept me?
Just as she was wondering, a girl with empty pupils crouched behind her head, her long, smooth hair flowing down and covering her cheeks. "Welcome to the Main God Space, Miss Helen."
An angel? He's quite handsome.
Aren't angels supposed to look strange, with all sorts of bizarre shapes, and be scary?
While lost in thought, the girl said, "My name is Hyacinth."
Angel Hyacinth, is there such an angel in mythology? Hyacinth...
Helen sat up, looked around, and realized that this place didn't seem to be paradise at all.
The surrounding spatial walls, and the technological creations of the Land of Mirrors.
It is a small Mirror Space in the Land of Mirrors...
"Ha, what a piece of trash."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Helen stood up abruptly and turned to see Vine Captain shaking his head, looking at her with disdain.
Helen rushed forward, "Captain! What happened to you?! I've been looking for you for ages! I almost died, you know that! It was amazing that you could hold out in the Beihai for three years, Captain! Even the Magical Girl Killer died in the blink of an eye, you're even more awesome than the Magical Girl Killer, you truly are a legend, Captain!"
"So-so," the captain said calmly. "It's a pity she made a mistake, otherwise she could have survived longer. Magical Girl Killer, not bad at all. Although she can't beat me, she's only slightly inferior."
"So, Captain, what brings you back all of a sudden? Where am I...?"
"According to the Shuangsheng, your skills are very useful to her father." The captain put his hands behind his back. "This is the Holy Church. You're drowning in debt now, and going back would be a dead end. Considering our past relationship and your abilities, I'll give you a way out: join the Holy Church. No Witch Association can come after you for your debts. From now on, you'll be an innocent Holy Church Member."
Helen immediately knelt down, "What else is there to say, buddy? You're such a man of character, Captain! I, Helen, have long been Holy Church Member!"
He then said viciously, " Witch Association so awful!"
"Let's go destroy the Witch Association!"
Hyacinth then spoke up, "No, we have another mission. We need to know about the technology of the Land of Mirrors Land of Mirrors, as well as its writing system and other information."
Helen immediately patted her chest, "Wow, the Shuangsheng ' dad is a genius! This is exactly how I, Helen, use him! Leave it to me! You can leave everything to me!"
"You must have all heard the discussions about the nature of magic."
"The essence of magic is a product of the transformation of emotions derived from people."
In the isolated space, the Incubators sat half-reclined on the ruins, leisurely saying, "This statement isn't necessarily wrong, but it's only a part of the story. The power absorbed by each magical girl and each Calamity Beast at birth isn't solely from their own bodies."
Shion tilted her head. "How long will it take? Is it very long?"
Even the Incubators was taken aback; it had considered many possibilities.
Several possible answers were also drafted.
As Incubators, this kind of response is nothing new to it; it's something it's long been accustomed to.
Countless magical girls discovered the truth, and when it explained the truth, all the magical girls listened intently.
This is, after all, a major matter concerning oneself.
So asking how long it would take was indeed the first time.
Then it understood.
The other party is a witch; if it's not something she's interested in, she simply won't listen.
I just don't understand why witches would hang out with magical girls.
"The same goes for witches. The origin of Filthy Magic Power and the pure magic of magical girls can be traced back to..."
"Are you going to talk for a long time?"
Shion interrupted it again.
The Incubators fell into an unusual silence.
"Give me the concentrate..."
Bingtang, standing nearby, quickly tugged at Shion, "Sect Master, why don't you go check over there and see if there are any other Incubators? There might be others. Give us the information on the Incubators, and I'll give you a simplified version later."
Shion's expression finally softened a bit. "That's fine too."
Watching Shion get up and leave, the Incubators finally couldn't help but ask, "Is she a child?"
Yumo immediately denied it. "No, no, the Sect Master is very mature! It's just that he lacks a little patience."
"Impatientness is typical of children..."
"I'm losing patience too." Bingtang tapped the ground, a chill enveloping the Incubators and trapping it. "Let's get to the point."
The Incubators nodded. "Alright, it seems I've been too talkative. Let's get back to the topic..."
boom!
The Witch Shion next to her broke through the spatial barrier and even peered into the spatial turbulence outside.
The Incubators fell from the ruins, glancing sideways at Shion, who was recklessly destroying space in the distance.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But Yumo and Bingtang, who were standing nearby, watched coldly. Finally, Yu Mo coughed and continued, "In short, a magical girl is not a miracle of one person, but a miracle created by the convergence of the wishes of many beings. It's just that these wishes are gathered in one person, manifested as a magical girl, and condensed into a seed."
" The Filthy Magic Power is not just that. Although it is also a seed formed from the collective sorrow of the people, the birth mechanism of the Calamity Beast is more complex."
"But, whether it's human emotions or desires, they ultimately depend on the world for their existence. The power you use is, in the end, a gift from the world—the future, hope, rules. The beloved magical girls have received everything from the world, and in the end, they must give back to the world in Full Bloom glory."
"For my fellow magical girls, it's not that they need the power of Full Bloom, but rather that you use the power of the world and ultimately have to give it back to the world. That's why Full Bloom magical girls enter their life countdown as soon as they appear. I also regret the deaths of excellent magical girls, but fortunately, not everyone needs to repay the debt. As long as one Full Bloom girl is born, the debt can be repaid for many magical girls, ensuring the integrity of the world's origin."
The Incubators tilted its head, revealing a kind smile. "It is the Incubators's job to ensure that every era has a Full Bloom magical girl to repay the world's gifts. And for me, the integrity of the world's origin is even more effective in helping everyone resist the old and the [ Moment of Awakening ]."
Yumo listened, then secretly glanced at him and noticed that Lord Bingtang didn't have any expression; he just seemed lost in thought.
Because the Incubators caused the magical girls to Full Bloom, resulting in their deaths, the Incubators is evil.
How could it be a good thing?
For Yumo, her simple worldview was challenged.
"Continue." Bingtang raised her chin. "Now it's time to talk about the emotional Remnants."
"I've met many magical girls, but few are as intelligent as you. Generally speaking, magical girls..."
The Incubators wanted to say a few words of praise to smooth things over, but then there was another tremor next door.
It tilted its body, startled and paused, then glanced sideways. The witch had already rushed out of the spatial turbulence...
Some stared blankly, their eyes wide, momentarily forgetting what they were going to say.
No, do you think you can just wander around in spatial turbulence?
Doesn't it remember that magical girls and witches could freely travel through space before the existence of related rules and abilities?
It's just that there's been no contact with the cluster for a while, what happened?
Have the magical girls and witches of this world mutated?
However, the spatial turbulence crackled and sparked on the witch's magical armor, yet it did nothing to harm her.
The Incubators tried several times to turn around and continue talking to Bingtang and Yumo, but failed each time...
No, it's really hard not to be drawn to this crazy witch.
"What's next? Can you hurry up?"
"It's Bingtang's voice," came the voice. The Incubators finally turned around and continued, "What do you think ' Moment of Awakening ' refers to?"
" Calamity Beast are born from human malice, magical girls are born from human desires, and people's memories of magical girls further fuel malice, giving rise to even greater negative emotions, becoming excellent nourishment for Calamity Beast. In other words, magical girls and Calamity Beast are symbiotic; wherever magical girls exist, Calamity Beast will be born."
"From a purely rational perspective, simply doing the opposite can prevent the birth of the vast majority of Calamity Beast, and that's exactly what's done in practice. Once a city's Calamity Beast have ceased to appear for an extended period, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau will arrange for the magical girls to withdraw while simultaneously setting up an information distortion barrier to eliminate any real information related to the city and the magical girls."
"People who enter with preconceived memories will have those memories temporarily blocked until they leave. Even if residents search online, they won't find any information about them. This approach is quite effective; many cities can maintain stability and peace for decades, which is now common knowledge."
The Incubators, who was about to say something more, was interrupted again by a tremor.
Bingtang and Yumo turned to look, and Shion had actually dragged a huge Calamity Beast out of the spatial turbulence!
Although the Calamity Beast was still struggling, Shion was knocked to sleep by two Calamity Beast and was quietly dragged in.
Then I saw Shion idly dismembering the Calamity Beast.
She wouldn't waste a single drop of the millions of units of power.
The Incubators's eyelids twitched, and it continued, "However, [ the Moment of Awakening ] shattered that."
"Whenever the human world develops to a certain stage, a period of frequent outbreaks of Calamity Beast will inevitably occur. This period may last for decades, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years. Once it occurs, Calamity Beast may appear anywhere in the world, including places isolated by information barriers."
"The cause of this disaster wasn't some earth-shattering conspiracy, it was simply because..."
"The world yearns for new life."
boom!
The Incubators have become numb; they haven't even turned their heads.
Bingtang covered her forehead and smiled helplessly.
Yumo turned her head and saw that the sect leader had caught another big fish... no, a great Calamity Beast. She immediately clapped in admiration.
This monster uses spatial turbulence as a fishing ground.
The Incubators still kept smiling.
"Creation is born from destruction. The nascent form of the New World yearns to break free. This yearning is the rule of the world, guiding the birth of the Calamity Beast. The Calamity Beast are the power of the world, and the world will destroy humanity and all living beings."
"This is the [ Moment of Awakening ] of the New World."
The two Calamity Beast died with mournful cries, and as Shion frantically dug them open, Filthy Magic Power splattered like blood!
Moment of Awakening has arrived is unknown, but right now it feels like the end times have come.
"The malice generated in those places where magical girls' memories were erased will not disappear; instead, it will continue to accumulate until it erupts again on the day of awakening. The accumulated efforts will give birth to extremely powerful Calamity Beast, becoming the vanguard of the world's will. I call these Calamity Beast [ Enemy of the New World ]."
"After the [ Moment of Awakening ] arrives, all magical girls, and even the miracles summoned by ordinary people, will become weapons against the Calamity Beast. A bloody marathon battle against the Calamity Beast will ensue until everything is protected, the [ Moment of Awakening ] is weathered, and the yearning for New World is quelled."
The Purple Shion finally quieted down, took out the Grief Seed from the Calamity Beast's body, and swallowed it directly.
The Incubators seemed to choke and coughed twice.
"What if you hadn't made it through?" Bingtang asked.
The Incubators quickly replied, "No painful death."
"In a world devoid of miracles and hope, where death reigns, there will be no emotions, only endless Remnants. Not just human emotions, but all energy that can be generated will turn into Remnants. All living beings will no longer feel pain, until the final thing arrives and destroys everything."
Yumo tilted her head, somewhat curious:
"The last thing to arrive? How powerful is it?"
The Incubators finally calmed down:
"Terrible despair, immense human evil."
Such sensational claims would shock or terrify even the most mature magical girl.
However, one of the two girls in front of her was absent-minded, and the other was completely indifferent.
Bingtang even laughed, "That's it? I thought it would be some earth-shattering secret, but it turns out it's just the theory of original sin of humanity."
"It's all nonsense." Yumo immediately mustered her courage and echoed the sect leader's words.
The Incubators fell silent.
I thought it was just that witch who was special.
These two in front of me are no pushovers either!
Bingtang continued, "Right now, all I want to know is, are these grayish-white magical girls from the Land of Mirrors? Is the Land of Mirrors the Old World that's already dead?"
The Incubators finally smiled again. "They didn't come from the Mirror World, but they did come from other dead Old World. Besides the Mirror World, there are many, many other Old World that have died. These worlds didn't survive the [ Moment of Awakening ] and became [ Remnants ]. Although they are dead, their inhabitants are not so easily killed. Many are desperately searching for a way to save their worlds."
"So it is them," the Incubators said gently. "The remnants of the old order are unwilling to let their [ Remnants ] die like this, constantly seeking opportunities in this world to steal the essence, wanting to resurrect their own [ Remnants ]. And these ghosts accompanying the [ Remnants ], their haunting and ugly forms wandering in the New World, are what are known as [ World Ghost ]."
"What a pathetic sight! I truly do not wish for the world I love to be reduced to [ Remnants ]. Therefore, my mission is to work with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to stop these remnants of the past and the [ Remnants ] of the World Ghost from stealing the essence of this world, and to prevent this world from being dragged down by the World Ghost."
The Incubators stood up, took two steps, and walked to the pile of ashes. "That's why I said we are not enemies, but comrades-in-arms with the same stance. Join me in protecting this world, magical girls."
Looking at the smiling Incubators, Bingtang was still thinking about how to ask other questions.
From afar, Shion asked leisurely, "So, as long as the Moment of Awakening can be suppressed and all the World Ghost are killed, will the world never die?"
After a moment of silence, the Incubators smiled and said, "Theoretically, that's how it is."
Bingtang immediately realized, "What about beyond the theory?"
"After all, there will always be unexpected events. For example, the world's origin might be stolen, or the number of Full Bloom worlds might not be enough, or the origin returned from Full Bloom worlds might not be enough. All sorts of unexpected events could lead to the destruction of the world's origin integrity, until the world's rules can no longer suppress the desire of the New World." The Incubators didn't hide anything. "At that time, the [ Enemy of the New World ] will become increasingly powerful, and humanity will find it increasingly difficult to resist the [ Moment of Awakening ]. It will only be a matter of time before the world is reduced to [ Remnants ]. But as long as we all work together to protect this world, we can continuously postpone its death."
Bingtang didn't say anything more, but just looked at her sect leader.
Ultimately, it is Shion has to make the final decision.
I only have one question.
Shion kicked the machine next to her. "If these grayish-white Remnants don't come from the Mirror World, then from which world?"
The Incubators's round, dark eyes finally lit up with joy. "They... they come from the Sixth Old Day. The Sixth Old Day has almost no place to survive anymore, not even worthy of being called [ Remnants ]. They constantly attack powerful magical girls in the cracks, trying to seize the essence of Full Bloom magical girls—that is, the rules of the Mental Image Domain —to save their own world. But in reality, they are destroying our world."
"For the sake of our world, it is the duty of magical girls to eliminate them. We are truly glad that you are willing to join forces with us to save the world..."
"Don't get it wrong."
The Witch Shion sneered, "We Magic Dao have no interest in saving the world."
"They dare to provoke us and disrupt BH City, no matter who they are or where they come from."
The menacing aura made the Incubators tremble and cower.
A voice filled with murderous intent echoed through the spatial turbulence:
" The Azure Cloud Sect will surely grind him to dust!"
The main problem is that I didn't understand what it was saying.
Let's kill them first and talk about it later.
There will be another chapter later. I went out for dinner today and was too late to come back, sorry, it will be a little late. Also, for the first chapter's VIP members, there will be a big spender giving out red envelopes at 3 PM these days, remember to claim them.
