The Calamity Curse Realm is not a Remnants.
Shion had already noticed it when she stepped inside.
The composition of the entire world is different from what is called Remnants.
Having witnessed the technology of the Land of Mirrors, she knew what the real Remnants World was like.
When she stepped into this world, she was certain that it was not Remnants like the Land of Mirrors, incapable of generating magic.
The Calamity Curse Realm continues to generate negative emotions and Filthy Magic Power.
It was just too concentrated, and contained only negative emotions and Filthy Magic Power.
The air was so thick that when she arrived, she felt like she couldn't breathe.
This dense, Filthy Magic Power also manifests as a strange curse.
Shortening lifespan, or simply organ failure, or something like Complete Witch filling her body with Filthy Magic Power.
Without any protective measures, the inevitable result would be a tragic death.
The moment they stepped into this place, the Filthy Magic Power and curses, as if they had finally found their prey, quickly wrapped themselves around them.
For a fleeting moment, her magical armor even faltered.
Shion carefully sensed the special magic of these Calamity Curse Realm; these curses could not be resisted with magic.
It can even pollute Personal Reality.
This is a rule similar to that of Magical Girl Full Bloom.
Having understood the nature of the Calamity Curse Realm's magic, she no longer hesitated.
Let's turn on the lights for the world first, because it's uncomfortable to be in complete darkness all the time.
After the Calamity Curse Realm was illuminated, he planned to search the entire world.
Then I heard shouts.
She turned around and looked back.
I saw a corpse running.
No heartbeat, no breath, just running this way.
His body was melting continuously in the purple magic.
The sound of melting, the other side's shouts, and an explosion from who-knows-where.
Shion casually tossed a javelin over.
After the mushroom cloud exploded, things finally quieted down.
She landed and glanced at the corpse; it was pretty much as she had expected.
This world is filled with countless curses and terrifying, Filthy Magic Power.
Ordinary people cannot live there; theoretically, only Calamity Beast should exist in the Calamity Curse Realm.
He bent down and picked up the Grief Seed that the other person had dropped, just as he was about to examine it...
Suddenly, a thin, elongated worm emerged from the Grief Seed and pierced her eyeball!
Before it pierced the eyeball, the purple magic instantly ignited the insect, which then rapidly spread into the Grief Seed.
The entire Grief Seed was then filled with countless tiny insects trying to escape from Grief Seed.
However, Shion simply gently pinched the Grief Seed, and purple magic enveloped the entire seed.
The delicate control of magic melted away every tiny worm of the Grief Seed, even the egg and a single cell.
However, after all the insects died, the Grief Seed quickly turned grayish-white.
This is similar to the Land of Mirrors.
After crushing the Grief Seed, you can see that the entire Grief Seed has turned into grayish-white fragments.
In other words, all the Filthy Magic Power here depends on the existence of curses.
Once the curse is lifted, the Filthy Magic Power will turn into Remnants.
Oh, the Filthy Magic Power that cannot be used.
Shion felt a little regretful because the Filthy Magic Power here was far too concentrated, so concentrated that she was even tempted.
Such a massive amount of Filthy Magic Power, once it can be completely absorbed...
Perhaps this will allow the Calamity Dragon to reach a higher level.
Now, whether in witch form or magical girl form, she possesses the strength to step into the half-step of the Branching and rival those above the pseudo-realm of the Wheel and Sea.
His own Calamity Dragon form, at best, was only at the Middle Stage of Full Blossom, and when facing the Magical Girl Killer, he couldn't even resist the contamination.
Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient strength. In terms of rank and understanding of the realm, I should have long since ceased to exist at this level.
This is because Filthy Magic Power is far more difficult to convert compared to the pure magic of magical girls.
The quantity cannot be increased, which leads to a slowdown in growth and makes it impossible to achieve the qualitative change that comes after quantitative change.
Once she had enough magical power, she was confident that she could further elevate the Calamity Dragon's status, at which point she would beat Jiangming Bai Mei and kick Beihai Bingtang.
He casually suppressed the Yumo, and with a flick of his tail, sent the Keke Witch flying.
Even attaining a high rank and becoming an S-class Calamity Beast wouldn't be a problem.
After all, in her view, she already had a direction on how to solve the biggest weakness of the Calamity Dragon —its inherent deficiency.
No matter how powerful it is now, it's still just an A-level Calamity Beast.
However, what she learned from the Witch Association was that the classification of Calamity Beast, specifically S-rank and A-rank Calamity Beast, also depended on the control of the rules.
Ultimately, the advancement of magical girls and Calamity Beast is quite similar, and it's unclear who copied whom.
Before the college entrance exam, I learned from Xilan's intelligence network that the Witch Association planned to implement new standards for Calamity Beast and witches, and they came up with something like A-shame, A-low, A-middle, A-upper, and A-peak.
This is a perfect copy of the Azure Cloud Sect; easy to modify, then we can come knocking on their door to collect Azure Cloud taxes.
S-class Calamity Beast have always been considered the counterpart to magical girls. According to the records of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, many magical girls in the past only Full Bloom in order to defeat S-class Calamity Beast.
Many also perished together with the enemy; theoretically, S-class Calamity Beast possess the ability to destroy the world.
Of course, this is just theory. Judging from the records of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, an S-class Calamity Beast can only destroy a city at most.
Maybe it's because it hasn't fully developed yet.
After all, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is quite vigilant against S-class Calamity Beast. Basically, as soon as an A-class Calamity Beast shows any signs of advancement, they will send magical girls to suppress it.
It's only when certain Calamity Beast break through to S-rank that magical girls are forced to Full Bloom...
A gust of wind blew by, Shion looked around.
The environment of the Calamity Curse Realm, if not exactly picturesque with lush mountains and clear waters, peach blossoms and willows, could still be described as a desolate and barren Expulso.
There was not a trace of life; the occasional river one saw carried only curses within.
When Shion spread her magic to thoroughly explore the surrounding area, she discovered that once she exceeded ten kilometers, her magic could no longer extend.
The curse will continuously corrupt the Magic Sense.
This is the limitation of Magic Sense.
Under the golden age, the traditional magical girl methods are bound to be targeted by various enemies, and the essence of Magic Sense is still the refinement of magical power. Once everyone can use this basic thing, it will be easy to be affected.
Relying solely on Magic Sense is no longer sufficient for high-level battles—as seen in our current predicament of being bullied in the Calamity Curse Realm.
Or perhaps it could be a scenario where, in the future, the Azure Cloud Sect is ridiculed for relying too heavily on Magic Sense —a truly humiliating situation.
It must be nipped in the bud.
Fortunately, ever since realizing that the Calamity Dragon had an innate flaw, Shion has begun to use her clever mind.
He inquired about the Dao three thousand times, and every day he wandered in the void, seeking the controllers in the Hongmeng universe and the chaotic universe. He also jumped out of the sea of light and the void to observe the battle of the Dao Fruit powerhouses in the supreme battlefield of the Origin Star up close.
The answer to the ultimate path to Supreme is now laid out before us, much like the first real exam question we just faced in the exam hall.
Shion pondered that it was time for her Divine Sense to take the stage.
Thinking of this, the Dao Seed within his body suddenly exerted its power.
[ Heaven-Grade Spell: Mujin's Tears ]!
With the support of the old Great Emperor's foundation, his mysterious spatial abilities combined with his Magic Sense caused the Magic Sense, which was originally stationary ten kilometers away, to expand further outward.
Indeed, for cultivators, the necessity of Divine Sense is beyond question.
Although it is still far from the Divine Sense envisioned by Shion, the direction of developing Divine Sense based on the power of space is correct.
My initial impression of Mujin was limited to her being foolish and prone to tears, but now I see her as someone who "endures hardship not necessarily through tears, but by transforming misfortune into a cleansing wind to wash away the dust of sin."
Mujin is so useful!
We must further develop the Great Dao of Space in the future.
Shion sighed, her pseudo- Divine Sense rapidly extending to even more distant places.
The feedback from the surrounding environment was a curse of utter darkness.
Every inch of the Calamity Curse Realm is filled with filth.
She reached out and poured magic into the sky.
Purple, magical clouds, much like the previous gray mist, began to spread across the sky.
The place was so dirty that it triggered her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As purple lightning began to streak across the sky, all the dark curses on the ground began to stir.
These curses and magic seem to have a life of their own.
She could even feel the ground writhing.
Looking down, she saw swarms of insects emerging from the ground, trying to burrow into her body.
A mighty thunderbolt crashed down from the sky!
Centered on the Shion, the violent plasma exploded into a boiling sea of lightning thousands of feet in diameter!
Countless streaks of blue-purple ionized flames were stretched, twisted, and launched, hissing in the air!
The soil, rocks, and gravel on the ground, including the trembling, densely packed maggots, were instantly submerged in the lightning plasma and repeatedly melted!
Until everything turned into a Liuli lava, white light beams constantly bulged and exploded on the surface, spewing blinding sparks, and the air was filled with sharp, pungent ozone and the burnt smell of steel and protein fused together.
Shion stood there, the purple-gold lightning submerged her ankles. With each step she took, she stirred up countless strands of struggling lightning. The electric light danced across her body, sparking even more delicate fireworks on her petite and exquisite figure.
With each step taken, the lightning in the sky roared and spread even more wildly!
Dense lightning bolts poured down from the sky like a waterfall, piercing through the heavens and earth!
Let's clear the surface first.
With this thought in mind, she strode forward with overwhelming force.
"Magical girl?"
Suddenly, an aged voice, piercing through the thunder's sharp whistle, reached the girl's ears.
So she stopped and turned her head.
An old man, wrapped up tightly, squatted down and embraced the melted Calamity Beast from before—only a few ashes remained. Yet, the old man held it as if it were a treasure, carefully cradling it in his hands.
"You're a magical girl, right? I am a witness to the Calamity Curse Realm, and a messenger communicating with all the Old World."
However, there was no response.
The old man looked up and saw terrifying lightning bolts raining down relentlessly, but the surging lightning flowed past him like waves, without piercing his body.
They seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
In the eyes of those in the Calamity Curse Realm, curses are the most terrifying thing in the world.
However, when he raised his head and looked at the magnificent lightning, it seemed to be an endless and boundless power of heaven and earth.
Under the magnificent power of nature, one feels one's own insignificance and powerlessness.
Only then will you suddenly realize it.
Ah, this is a true natural disaster.
A walking natural disaster.
More terrifying, more direct, more decisive, and more efficient than a curse.
Even the most terrifying curses seemed to vanish into insignificant, gentle ailments under this lightning...
"Magical girl," the old man murmured, "Why did you kill the leader of the Calamity Curse Realm?"
Thunder roared, yet the purple figure remained dazzling amidst the crisscrossing lightning.
Her jewel-like purple pupils stared at him without any emotion.
Such a haughty gaze, as if they had never paid any attention to me.
The ashes in my hand were scattered by the strong wind.
Amidst the howling lightning, the old man drew his weapon.
That was a pistol.
Do you know how difficult it is to survive?
"Do you know how great it is to simply survive and give hope to others in a world of despair?"
Do you know how hard they work to keep this world going?
He wanted to use words to shake the existence that seemed like Heavenly Deity.
However, all words seemed insignificant and trivial amidst the thunder.
"I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, the birth and demise of empires. In countless years, only the folly of mortals is eternal, but under the baptism of the curse, only the folly of mortals in their struggle for survival can transcend despair."
Even the wisdom and glory of Emperor will eventually fade and fall under an endless curse; only the folly of mortals Immortal, and only the desires of mortals never cease!
"This world doesn't need you, magical girl!"
Pull the trigger, and the cursed bullet is fired.
A massive bolt of lightning crashed down!
The bullets and curses melted in the lightning, and purple lightning struck the old man!
However, the lightning was not very powerful. The old man's black clothes were tattered, and he knelt on the ground, his whole body steaming.
But he refused to lower his head, instead staring intently at the expressionless figure without uttering a word.
He simply watched his natural disaster with indifference.
Its pupils moved slightly downwards, as if looking down at an insect.
Heaven and earth are ruthless.
Treating all things as straw dogs!
The old man remembered the words that echoed in the sky when the other person appeared.
It's like a final judgment and affirmation of the world's fate.
All the grievances, pain, and resentment accumulated over the years finally erupted.
All the hardships and efforts along the way seem to have been meaningless.
If the Calamity Curse Realm can resist curses like a human being.
Hope and a glimmer of hope for the future can be found in the struggle.
But in the face of such a natural disaster, there is no such thing as a vague, illusory hope.
The people of the Calamity Curse Realm are like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, devoid of any human dignity or value.
Life and death hang in the balance, determined by the other's single thought.
A mere straw dog, a worthless sacrifice.
He reached out to the sky, and amidst the lightning, he cried out in a somewhat frenzied manner.
"Say something!"
"Say something?"
The other person finally spoke, causing the old man, who was about to cry out, to momentarily choke on his breath.
He suppressed all his emotions and struggled to look at the other person.
The lightning still avoided him.
Apart from the counterattack with that shot just now, all the lightning merely flickered and roared around, melting the ground.
The other party did not intend to kill her.
Of course, when I realized this, a glimmer of hope finally emerged from my despair.
Magical girls are not some vicious and evil enemy.
A statement made by Emperor when he still existed.
"Magical girls, how naive. Even when facing their enemies, they still want to save them... It seems that from now on, if you encounter a magical girl, all you have to do is kneel down and beg for mercy, and you'll be able to survive, heh heh."
Even the most aloof magical girl is still a magical girl.
"We didn't intend to harm anyone, we were just desperate..."
So he began to show weakness and beg for mercy, recounting the hardships of the Calamity Curse Realm.
People here have no choice.
Born with a curse, everyone struggles to survive in a world that is already dead.
The old man held up a pocket watch and introduced it to the powerful magical girl.
This was once the relic of Lika, the leader of the Calamity Curse Realm. Before the curse spread to the whole world, and before anyone realized its terror, Lika had already fought against the curse for a hundred years on her own for the sake of the people of the Calamity Curse Realm.
Even as it became grotesque and terrifying, feared and shunned by others, it never stopped fighting the curse.
Ultimately, it was completely consumed by the curse.
He then took out a crown and began to speak of Emperor.
That was the great leader since Lika, who gathered the spreading curse within herself and then suppressed it with the curse of the Death Note.
Sitting on the throne, he bought the Calamity Curse Realm a considerable amount of time.
Even the Calamity Curse Realm began seeking help from outside, starting with the Emperor, attempting to the Old World Alliance to find a way to save their own world.
He possesses great talent and ambition, and although he is autocratic and cruel, he is undoubtedly the savior of the Calamity Curse Realm.
Even until the very last moment, he maintained the dignity and pride of Emperor, paving the way for all.
Even today, after their deaths, people still eke out a living from the Emperor's legacy.
The brilliance and splendor that humanity displays amidst life and death—how many heroes sacrificed themselves, how much suffering did they endure, to finally reach this point?
Having come this far, we have finally taken this step towards our goal.
" The Calamity Curse Realm is not some small world that should be easily destroyed. The history of the Calamity Curse Realm, the people of the Calamity Curse Realm, are all profound and living beings. What you are destroying is not a world, not a group of ants, but a civilization, a group of fearless humans!"
Every person's wish, every person's pursuit, every person's effort and life.
The old man told the story of the heroes who had given everything to the Calamity Curse Realm, as well as the ordinary people who struggled, to the magical girl who seemed like Heavenly Deity.
He begged for her pity and compassion.
"It is because of the relentless efforts and struggles of these heroes that a few people have been able to survive in the Calamity Curse Realm. They are proof of the great achievements of those heroes, and they are the proof that everyone in the Calamity Curse Realm has created miracles!"
He watched as the girl's expression shifted from indifference to a hint of interest.
Unable to hold back, tears streamed down my face.
Our ancestors saved the Calamity Curse Realm not only in their own time.
Even after their deaths, they paved a path for the Calamity Curse Realm from despair through their respective achievements!
"Please save them! They are just innocent and pitiful ordinary people, struggling to survive in the despair of this curse! None of them are bad people. We just need a place for them to live, that's all we ask for... just a piece of land to live on is our greatest wish..."
The girl in the lightning finally turned her head and looked at him. "Where is she?"
The old man wiped away his tears, finally rising with a hint of joy, and pointed to the prayer hall from before, "There! Everyone's there!"
He wanted to run back as fast as he could to tell everyone the good news...
boom!
The Thunderclap Waterfall instantly submerged the area the old man had pointed to!
The viscous lava nearly ripped the entire ground off, and the Liuli, molten lava seeped into the earth, filling all the safe houses!
Screams and wails echoed through the sky!
It almost suppressed the thunder!
The old man's smile froze, his aged wrinkles bunched up, and he stared blankly at the people of the prayer hall who had been wiped out because of his orders, before turning his head away.
The magical girl, like a natural disaster, had eyes that seemed to be filled with lightning, yet remained calm and still.
"Why..."
It feels inferior; Luo Zu is still in the Devouring Starry Sky on Earth.
"Let me correct a mistake first." Shion raised her hand and tapped the old man with a lazy yet leisurely air.
A bolt of purple lightning struck down!
"You are not proof that the people of the Calamity Curse Realm have survived through their efforts." Shion stopped and turned around. "You are the accomplices of the cursed Calamity Beast."
The old man, charred like charcoal, lay on the ground, slowly melting and turning into countless dead maggots.
"To grant peace to the dead is a virtue of cultivators."
The girl took a step, and the roaring magma spread throughout the world!
"You're welcome."
