South China, Guangzhou.
As lightning flashed, the magical girls who resonated with the light fell one after another from the sky.
From the initial dozen or so people, almost all the magical girls in South China came out.
However, with each additional magical girl, the lightning in the sky shines brighter, and the lightning plasma becomes more concentrated.
The magical girls' unity and hard work only made the lightning in the sky even more terrifying!
What was originally just thunderclouds in the Guangzhou region has gradually spread to cover the entire South China as more and more magical girls have appeared.
Almost all the people from South China came out of their houses and gathered in the open space, looking up at the magical girls striving in the sky and the terrifying lightning tribulation.
For the people of South China, this land has suffered far too much, and magical girls are the last line of defense. The people of South China also respect and support magical girls more than those in other regions.
People from South China have always believed in sharing weal and woe with magical girls, even if they cannot help them.
While the magical girls are fighting hard, they will come out to watch and provide support to them.
Countless wishes will converge at this moment, bringing new power to the magical girls.
Transform into the world's most dazzling miracle!
The Personal Reality of ordinary people is so weak that they can do almost nothing.
However, things change when numerous Personal Reality merge and are connected to the magical girl's Personal Reality.
They will be the magical girls' strongest support and greatest source of power.
Since the birth of magical girls, the people of South China have overcome all difficulties step by step in this way.
There's no reason to let little girls fight and die alone.
They stood right behind the magical girls.
If the magical girl is defeated, she will use her own flesh and blood to make a final struggle.
From the moment the Land of Mirrors began to wreak havoc on South China, every South China resident who was unwilling to leave, and who did not leave, knew that they could not rely on others.
Nearly a century of suffering did not deter the people of South China, when they united to protect their homeland.
Neither the Old World nor the Calamity Beast can take an inch of land from the To Live people of South China!
Call their names out loud!
"Go for it, magical girl! Don't lose!"
In the squares, on the streets, and in the parks, crowds gathered, shouting and even raising lightning rods, trying to shield the magical girls from the lightning.
Many other people quickly drove to the place where the magical girls had fallen, taking the girls who were unable to fight to hospitals and other safe places.
Blackberry, covered in dust and dirt from the blows, sniffed and looked down at the dense crowd below.
Although she was worried that everyone might get hurt, she knew that having come this far, it was impossible for them to leave.
South China was a coward who didn't back down in the face of danger, hiding behind the magical girl and running away.
Therefore, we cannot afford to lose.
If we lose, everyone will definitely get hurt, or even die.
She looked up at the churning thunderclouds in the sky.
Despite its terrifying power, the resonance of all the magical girls in South China collapsed after being struck by lightning only twice.
Even the resonance couldn't be maintained.
However, whether we should be thankful or not, these lightning strikes caused almost no damage to the buildings.
When it hits a building, it passes right through it... It's not real lightning. As lightning constructed from magic, why would it specifically remove buildings from its target? Blackberry couldn't understand it.
Was this heavenly lightning a product of research from some Old World? Was it designed to simply kill the people of South China South China while preserving their architecture for easy takeover?
I can't figure it out, and I don't have time to think about it anymore.
Because the third lightning bolt was almost fully formed, she could feel it was about to strike.
The remaining seven or eight magical girls flew erratically, clearly unable to withstand the next lightning strike.
"Resonance!"
She soared into the sky alone, facing the heavenly lightning head-on!
Bathed in lightning, Blackberry felt momentarily disoriented.
The magical girls around them fell from the sky one by one, and the stray lightning only slightly struck the cats and dogs nearby.
It then turned into charcoal.
The endless stream of terrifying lightning seemed to have no end; its power was immense even under normal circumstances.
That would allow her to deactivate her transformation more than ten times.
Even now, despite resonating with the power of all the magical girls in South China, her magical armor still wavers, as if trying to disappear.
She gritted her teeth, clutching her magical costume tightly.
No, you can't disappear here!
If it disappears, then it's over!
The thunder was like thousands of thorns burning, sprouting, exploding, bursting, and trembling under voltage, like the dense sound of tearing cloth exploding in my ears.
But it still couldn't drown out the support and cheers from the people of South China behind them!
The thought of all the people behind me—my uncles and aunts, my brothers and sisters, and my grandparents who can't move—is so heartbreaking.
Blackberry then unleashed even more power.
"I can..."
He has taken another step forward in his realm, a solid step forward indeed!
The total amount of magic power and the precision of its manipulation have increased dramatically once again, causing magic power to assimilate with lightning and even begin to neutralize these devastating bolts of lightning!
"To protect everyone!"
Black magic erupted from her body, roaring and crashing through the lightning!
The crowd below erupted in astonishing cheers and screams. The joy of surviving the disaster began to spread rapidly throughout South China, surging wildly towards every corner!
However, the next second, another bolt of lightning struck the Blackberry down!
The once bustling South China was suddenly shut down.
A deathly silence fell.
However, Blackberry, who had fallen to the ground and deactivated her transformation, did not give up and struggled to climb onto the roof.
They were still facing the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.
However, no more lightning bolts struck; instead, the lightning slowly dissipated.
Blackberry stared blankly, then heard the unfamiliar female voice she had heard before:
[ The Heavenly Tribulation has passed! Congratulations, Magical Girl Blackberry! Your promotion has been legalized instead of illegal. Please continue your efforts!]
Breathing heavily, Blackberry wiped her dirty little face. After a long while, confirming that the thunderclouds had indeed disappeared and there was no longer any danger, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and tremblingly clutched her chest.
Then the duck sat down abruptly, its body feeling somewhat limp.
That was absolutely terrifying, the lightning!
I might be afraid of rain Thunder for the rest of my life...
When my eyes were a little moist, the sky over South China cleared up again as the first rays of dawn broke through the darkness.
The magnificent Morning Sun burst forth, painting South China, shrouded in thunderclouds, with a glorious splendor.
Blackberry took a deep breath, turned her head to face away from the Morning Sun, and revealed a smile more radiant and dazzling than the rising sun, "No, it's okay, everyone! We won!"
Since the Land of Mirrors and the Golden Calamity Dragon, the greatest crisis facing South China has almost enveloped the entire South China. The thunderclouds, capable of destroying everyone, were finally defeated by everyone's united efforts...
Just as the joy of surviving the disaster overwhelmed the sudden panic and unease that had been felt moments before...
Something suddenly covered the Blackberry, plunging the world into darkness once more.
"Wow, what a great opportunity!"
Blackberry turned its head; it was a Calamity Beast.
A Class A Calamity Beast, resembling a giant serpent, was currently coiled atop the building.
Standing atop the Calamity Beast, the person who had just spoken was dressed in a yellow robe, radiating undisguised malice as he stared at them.
Just when all the magical girls of South China lost their transformations, an A-rank Calamity Beast and an enemy of the Old World suddenly appeared.
Blackberry sniffed and wiped away her tears.
Really, there's no other way...
But she still picked up the wooden stick next to her and stood in front of the Calamity Beast.
The man in the yellow robe leaped down and landed on a lamppost, smiling at everyone below, "A heartfelt thank you for the favor of this unknown ally."
The A-level Calamity Beast roared at Blackberry!
The crowd that had been watching from the sidelines immediately rushed behind her.
The adults shielded her behind them, while helicopters circled overhead, constantly harassing the A-level Calamity Beast.
The flooded Disaster Countermeasures Bureau guards and police pointed their guns at the man in the yellow robe Calamity Beast, unleashing a hail of bullets.
"Everyone, protect our little hero!"
"Back off! Back off!"
The aunt picked her up and ran back, but Blackberry just struggled, clutching her Miracle Seed.
I'm trying so hard to transform.
I want to protect everyone, I want to become stronger, I want to...
When she looked up, she saw the enormous Calamity Beast opening its maw towards them.
The yellow-faced enemy wore a mocking smile. Countless cannon fire and bullets rained down on the Calamity Beast, but to no avail. It opened its mouth to swallow everyone who stood in its way!
"Transform!"
Clutching her Miracle Seed, she cried out as if she were about to burst into tears.
Swish!
A massive purple arrow suddenly appeared from nowhere and pierced the Calamity Beast's head!
Then, carrying a terrifying momentum, it dragged the giant snake, which was as tall as a building, flying out until it was nailed to the tall iron tower on the east side!
A burst of purple light transformed into three streams of light, instantly piercing through the yellow-robed man's right shoulder, left arm, and right thigh on the streetlight.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, leaving many with their heads tucked in and hands raised, waiting to be devoured. When they finally opened their eyes, they discovered that the A-level Calamity Beast was now capable of destroying almost the entire South China.
In the blink of an eye, he was pierced by a purple arrow and hung on the tower.
The snake's body was taut and coiled up, wrapping around the entire tower, emitting a grotesque creaking sound. The steel and concrete on the tower twisted and broke, crashing towards the ground. With just a light sweep of its tail, the snake smashed nearby houses!
However, the arrow struck the giant serpent's head and erupted in flames, engulfing the serpent.
The enormous snake body could no longer put up any resistance and quickly calmed down in the flames.
Everyone fell silent, even the helicopters hovered overhead, seemingly stunned.
No one noticed that the yellow-skinned enemy who had appeared alongside them suddenly had a large, charred hole in his chest, as if it had been burned through by flames.
Then it fell to the ground from the lamppost like a dead dog.
He stared at the giant serpent Calamity Beast and the enormous arrow on its head, as big as an old tree, unable to look away for a long time.
Blackberry, with tears still on her face, seemed somewhat lost in thought.
How could this arrow be connected to heavenly thunder?
Is it a kind of magic?
Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, Headquarters.
Compared to South China, the situation at the General Administration appears to be much better.
The reasons are self-evident.
Because they have the strongest magical girl, Iris.
When all the magical girls were struck by lightning and could not rise again.
Without the Miracle Seed, the Iris soared into the sky alone, transformed on its own, and unfolded its Mental Image.
It directly dragged all the lightning into its own domain.
Within her Mental Image Domain, she absorbed all the lightning tribulations with her own Black Hole until the thunderclouds in the sky completely disappeared.
That strange, mechanical female voice reached everyone's ears:
[ The Heavenly Tribulation has been passed! Congratulations, Magical Girl Iris! Your promotion has been legalized instead of illegal. Please continue your efforts...]
Logically, this should be the time for everyone at the General Administration to celebrate and extol the Iris.
If her Mental Image Domain doesn't explode.
In fact, many magical girls in the headquarters are discussing Iris's performance in Iris head-on battle against Shion, saying that Iris is really different now.
She might truly be the strongest magical girl in the entire organization right now.
This time, by enduring the heavenly lightning without transforming with the Miracle Seed, she earned even more admiration from many magical girls.
After all, three lightning strikes had rendered most of the magical girls in the headquarters unable to fight.
Then Iris devoured all the heavenly lightning by herself.
However, before everyone could cheer and fly up to welcome the Iris's triumphant return, the Iris's Mental Image exploded.
The Black Hole that swallowed the heavenly lightning also exploded directly at headquarters...
The result is that the current state of the entire General Administration is no different from being plowed by lightning.
Even so, Golden Tea couldn't say anything.
After all, although Iris's Mental Image and the Black Hole exploded, it only caused most of the magical girls to lose their transformations, and did not cause greater damage.
If Iris hadn't absorbed all of Shion's lightning strikes, who knows what other damage might have occurred.
However, looking at the mess at headquarters, Golden Tea was also extremely troubled.
Ever since the Azure Cloud Sect came to exchange ideas, the headquarters has been bombed every few days. They're really having a run of bad luck. Is Shion some kind of potato landmine girl...?
"We can contact the Azure Cloud Sect, but we should try to keep our distance from Shion..."
Just as Golden Tea was making this judgment...
Countless A-level Calamity Beast appeared in the sky above the headquarters.
The magical girls, who had been chattering about whether Iris's merits outweighed her demerits or vice versa, all fell silent.
Everyone looked up at the horde of Calamity Beast that was about to engulf the headquarters.
"Is this also from Shion...?"
Golden Tea heard Hongmian's soft murmur and gave a wry smile. "It shouldn't be."
Actually, she wasn't entirely sure either.
After all, who can guess what that guy is really thinking?
When someone becomes powerful and willful, it's really troublesome...
"Prepare for battle..."
Just as she was rousing everyone at headquarters to prepare for battle, her pupils suddenly dilated.
Hongmian, standing nearby, stared into the distance with her mouth agape, "What's that?!"
Further away, an even denser rain of purple arrows, more powerful than any Calamity Beast, suddenly descended!
East China, Beihai.
Bai Mei took a deep breath.
The air was filled with the tingling, slightly numbing smell of lightning, and the rotten egg odor slightly washed away the lingering taste of ghost pepper sauce in my mouth.
Blue Flower, standing nearby, was sighing as she hugged her three Magic Puppet.
The Heavenly Tribulation just now naturally targeted both her and Blue Flower.
It took three Magic Puppet for Blue Flower to barely withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.
As for Bai Mei, she also used four sword strikes, one more than when she dealt with Yarrow, and only then did she barely survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
Even Bai Mei had to admit that her master's Heavenly Tribulation was indeed incredibly powerful.
She had just witnessed her master being crushed by her own heavenly lightning, to the point that he could barely lift his head.
Clearly, Master didn't want to transform and directly withstand the heavenly lightning.
However, under his own magical girl power, all the Filthy Magic Power and even the curses within Jiang Si's body were being frantically squeezed out by the pure magic.
His whole body crackled and popped like firecrackers, and the sound continued until the very end.
For the first time, Bai Mei saw her master with a solemn expression, sweat pouring down his temples. Under the strongest Primordial Chaos Five Elements Creation Nine-Nine Divine Thunder, he even had to half-squat down several times because he couldn't withstand it.
As for Bai Mei, she almost couldn't resist slashing her master with her sword.
Because without a doubt, this is when Master is at his most vulnerable. If this sword strikes, it will surely bring Master a great surprise.
But seeing her master enduring the terrifying tribulation of lightning, she ultimately suppressed the thought.
In the end, the lightning tribulation even tore the master's clothes apart.
This was the first time Bai Mei had seen her master in such a disheveled state. In her heart, she had never imagined that her master would be forced to such a point one day.
Even without transforming, Master's strength is already terrifying.
I never expected to be forced to this point...
When Jiang Si revealed his well-defined upper body muscles, Blue Flower frantically snapped photos with her phone for a long time—she was hiding behind the Magic Puppet, quite at ease, muttering to herself as she took pictures, "This, this, this could definitely fetch a high price!"
As for Jiang Si himself, he did find a glimmer of opportunity under the immense pressure of the tribulation lightning!
Using Heretical Nascent Soul to manipulate Filthy Magic Power, while controlling pure magic power himself, the two threads operate simultaneously, blending the two types of magic power together.
The fused magic power, which would normally explode due to instability, maintained an astonishingly stable state despite the bombardment of the five-colored heavenly lightning. The Purple Mansion Mental Image locked away the dissipation of the magic power, ensuring that not a single trace of the fused Yin-Yang magic power was wasted; instead, it all swirled and danced within this body, even—
Washing the flesh!
Since entering the Full Blossom, his physical body had only been improving at a slow, tortoise-like pace, but it finally allowed him to cross the threshold of dual-attribute magic power.
It requires no magic, no Heretical Nascent Soul, no Space Dao Seed, no Throne of Divine Seal, no Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art; its pure physical body alone can unleash immense power.
One step forward, Peak Full Blossom Great Perfection!
Climb one more step, Half-Step Lush Leaves!
Laughing wildly, Jiang Si's physical body once again combined the two magical powers, and his fist emitted a blackish-purple light. He then threw a punch at the heavenly lightning!
With the pure power of the Fourth-Layer Leakless Body combined with the Yin-Yang Magic Power Exploding Fist, what sky could withstand it!
As the thunderclouds dissipated and the clear sky reappeared, Jiang Si strolled into the sky, took a deep breath, and, facing his newfound realm, couldn't help but recite a poem.
He was still pondering which poem from Reverend Insanity would be more suitable—he couldn't quite remember it—and secretly rummaged through his phone in his pocket, intending to search for one on the spot.
Suddenly, she looked up and saw Yinlian, who had failed her tribulation, and Keke, who had barely succeeded.
Several A-level Calamity Beast emerged from the void and attacked the two of them!
I'm in a great mood.
Jiang Si then directly took out her Miracle Seed, "Can you not spoil the fun?"
Amidst the ancient and solemn tolling of bells, after the transformation, a purple pillar of fire pierced through heaven and earth, illuminating all the realms!
As Shion emerged from the purple flames, she took out a longbow that was much taller than herself and had not been used for a long time.
He compressed his Divine Sense into a linear form, extended it, and then burst forth, spreading to every place he had ever set foot in.
Then, using linear Divine Sense, they captured and locked onto all the Calamity Beast that appeared after the tribulations of lightning in South China, North China, and East China!
The longbow was drawn taut, and purple arrows danced on the bowstring.
[ Clumsy Bow ]
It comes from the Shrouding the Heavens Clumsy Peak Town.
" Clumsy Bow, without form, yet its power reaches the eight directions!"
As soon as the bowstring was released, the arrow burst forth and immediately split into countless arrows in the sky, hurtling in all directions like homing missiles with terrifying force!
In an instant, A-rank Calamity Beast had been attacking the magical girls undergoing tribulation appeared in all regions, but were all shot down simultaneously!
The magical girl, who had sheathed her longbow and stood atop the heavens and earth, turned her head to look.
Those purple pupils seemed to be able to pierce through space!
Within an independent Mirror Space.
The huge conference table was surrounded by people, the Old World members who were monitoring Beihai, and they all fell silent for a moment.
Meanwhile, the Old World witch who had seized the opportunity to lure out numerous Calamity Beast to attack the weakened magical girl suddenly lost her grip and smashed the mirror in her hand with a "crack".
He even fell off his seat and landed hard on the ground, pale-faced, sweating profusely, and panting heavily.
Those purple pupils seemed to be truly fixed on her!
Then, almost hysterically, she screamed, "She... she saw us!"
The others immediately comforted him, saying, "How could that be? Don't scare yourself!"
"Don't worry, the space here is completely different. Land of Mirrors might not be able to find us."
The witch took a deep breath, wanting to nod.
However, those cold, mocking purple pupils always made her uneasy, as if something was amiss.
A sense of unease lingered in my heart.
The witch murmured, "No, no, I have to leave."
As he stood up to leave, everyone else at the conference table also stood up. "Where are you going! We acted on our own, behind the alliance's back, on this mission..."
I don't want to die!
The witch roared and tried to leave, but the others blocked her way. "She only glanced at us! This is our last chance!"
"What do you know? Get out of the way, don't get in the way..."
The witch, who was about to roar, suddenly fell silent.
Immediately, a small purple dot appeared on the mirror surface of the independent Mirror Space.
The next second, one of the arrows that Shion had fired not long ago split off.
Finally, it pierced through space and suddenly pierced her forehead!
The remaining members of the Old World who were originally going to stop her were frozen in place.
The arrow struck the conference table, stained with the witch's red and white fluids, and trembled slightly on the table.
Everyone was on edge, their throats churning, their eyes fixed on the arrows on the table.
The arrow twisted slightly, and then a vast amount of magic surged from it, spreading throughout the independent space.
A deafening explosion!
Amidst a cacophony of bloodcurdling screams and cries, the independent space crumbled and shattered, ultimately engulfed in purple flames and the turbulent flow of space!
