" Ruoyun, where the hell is your Italian cannon?!"
"Who's going to bring the cannon?!"
"Build one right here!"
"You big idiot!"
Helen and Ruoyun were exchanging insults as they fled, when two more shells came hurtling down from behind.
The two of them were instantly sent flying.
Helen, still gesticulating wildly, was shifting the blame. "It's all your fault! Why didn't you bring the proper equipment!"
Ruoyun wished she could shove her gun barrel into her mouth. "If you hadn't messed around, how would we have been exposed!"
"No, I definitely want to try that specialty caviar!"
"What's so good about it? Boogers with salt? If you want a topping, I can only say it's not as good as a single pickled mustard green!"
"Damn, what you said is so disgusting, it makes me want to throw up..."
"Go ahead and throw it up! You ate so much, do you want to lay eggs if you don't throw it all up?!"
"You've just laid eggs..."
The two were arguing loudly when another cannon shot landed above them.
Immediately afterwards, Hyacinth picked up the two maids and dodged the shells bombarding the surrounding area, landing on the high bridge on the main road ahead.
Looking at the two people who were blown to a dusty gray, Hyacinth felt a sense of helplessness.
"Can't you two just take a break while you're on a mission?"
The two immediately pointed at each other and said in unison, "It's all her fault!"
Another cannonball imbued with magic hurtled over, and Hyacinth casually unfolded her mirror.
The magically powerful shell was deflected back, sending buses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles flying. Asphalt pebbles flew everywhere, and the surrounding glass shattered like rain.
"If you keep arguing, I'm going back to report to the Holy Church Walker Master that you're interfering with the mission."
After the Hyacinth gave this warning, the two girls finally quieted down.
Hyacinth glanced at Ruoyun with its dark pupils and sighed.
The captain, who was originally quite reliable, started arguing with Helen constantly after meeting Helen.
While it's quite fun, it could be troublesome for Hyacinth if it affects the mission.
After all, she didn't want to be expelled from the Holy Church for failing the mission; that would be too boring.
"From the very beginning, I told you to keep an eye on her." Ruoyun took the Hyacinth from her hand and looked at the Calamity Beast that were closing in from all sides. "In the end, you let her cause such a huge mess, and now they've all come looking for her."
"Hey, is it my fault?"
Hyacinth tilted her head, a smile still playing on her lips. "Alright, I hope the captain will forgive me."
"The problem is, now is not the time to assign blame!"
Helen immediately picked up her weapons—two small pistols.
In reality, they had no combat capabilities; these two small pistols were given to her by Ruoyun for self-defense.
She said seriously, "Let's first consider how to deal with our current enemy!"
"Every culprit who causes trouble will say, 'Don't assign blame yet,' and then, 'We'll talk about it after it's all over. Oh well, the matter is resolved now, I got MVP!' and then they'll say, 'I'm going to take a shower now!'"
Ruoyun sneered, not bothering to argue further, but instead looked at the Calamity Beast climbing around.
There were also two girls and a boy beside the Calamity Beast, warily observing them.
The Calamity Human Race of the Old World.
Its skin possesses some characteristics of Calamity Beast, such as feathers, scales, or a single horn.
By transforming their bodies into half of a Calamity Beast, they can communicate with the Calamity Beast.
Moreover, they can also modify the Calamity Beast.
For example, the horde of Calamity Beast currently surrounding Ruoyun's team.
Every mouth, back, and even claw has a cannon.
Most Calamity Beast don't actually use their magic efficiently, which is why magical girls are stronger than Calamity Beast of the same level; humans naturally optimize their use of energy.
Now, these Calamity Beast, who have transformed their bodies into weapons, can naturally unleash highly efficient firepower without needing intelligence or learning.
Leaving aside the B-rank Calamity Beast, there are also the A-rank Calamity Beast —some are entirely embedded in the base of a rapidly moving Calamity Beast, some can instantly transform and disguise themselves as trees, and others can gather the magical power of surrounding B-rank Calamity Beast into themselves...
These modified A-rank magic cannons can even inflict penetrating wounds on the Full Blossom Magical Girl, making them quite troublesome.
We were just passing by.
Ruoyun decided to speak up and try to negotiate.
Their mission was simply to find the Full Bloom from the Old World; there was no need for combat in this mission.
For this reason, heavy firepower that is difficult to carry was also placed in the Main God Space.
Being trapped by these troublesome Calamity Beast is manageable, since it's not like we can't fight them.
The problem is that the commotion is too great. If it gets spotted by those hidden, agile, and Full Bloom personnel, then we'll be in trouble.
They are not arrogant enough to think they can handle Full Bloom.
However, it was clear that those three members of the Calamity Human Race had no intention of letting them go.
Kill them all!
The young man was clearly intent on killing and spoke first.
The other two girls exchanged a glance and then both nodded.
"Eliminate all risks."
All the Calamity Beast opened their mouths towards the three girls.
An even more terrifying magic cannon began to coalesce, locking onto the three of them!
"With this many, I might not be able to block them all," Hyacinth warned, before only raising a protective barrier for herself.
Helen then took out a spray gun, sprayed it on the nearby Calamity Beast, and then sprayed it on herself.
Then the Calamity Beast simply let Helen sit on its back, avoiding being targeted by the other Calamity Beast.
"Good luck, Captain."
Helen turned around, waved happily, and prepared to ride off on her Calamity Beast.
Ruoyun rolled her eyes.
However, this is simply their Holy Church Squad's style of operation.
After all, we're just teammates, not close friends. When disaster strikes, we'll have to figure things out ourselves.
Don't expect anyone else to help you.
Those who hold others back should be eliminated.
Treat your teammates like enemies.
Ruoyun casually took out a card and, a split second before the magic cannon fired, inserted it into the pistol's magazine to read it.
[ Star Pattern Descent: The Overturning of the Wind Gate and Cloud Path.]
The space around them spread and distorted like ink wash painting, and at the same moment, the space around the three members of the Calamity Human Race also began to distort.
The positions are interchanged.
It's a rare spatial magic in the Main God's Exchange List, Ruoyun spent most of her points just to get this card.
Furthermore, this card has a limited number of uses; it will become invalid after being used more than ten times. Also, the position swapping ability is different from other magic, and Ruoyun, who has not mastered spatial abilities, could not possibly learn it.
It's just a consumable item for ten uses, but for Ruoyun, it's still worth it.
Moreover, she didn't plan to use them sparingly, because she had enough points to redeem for the next time, so she would use them as needed.
It's foolish to master a skill to the point of exhaustion.
The three were moved to the bridge, but all the magic cannons fired by the Calamity Beast stopped for a moment.
One of the girls extended her finger, and all the Calamity Beast stopped.
Even the magic they spewed out seemed to have frozen in place!
Ruoyun's expression was solemn as she gazed at the girl from the Calamity Human Race whose body was adorned with feathers.
A witch?
It's impossible to transform into a magical girl while possessing the body of Calamity Beast, but transforming into a witch should be a technique only Witch Association possess. According to their information, the Old World didn't have this kind of technology.
Or have they partnered with the Witch Association?
If that's the case, the situation is much more complicated than imagined...
The girl with a single horn and the boy with scales, one with a gun and the other with a knife, smashed against the Hyacinth's barrier.
The Hyacinth's barrier shattered instantly. She didn't put up much resistance, but simply raised her hands in surrender, then turned her head and looked pitifully at Ruoyun.
"Help! Captain, I've been arrested!"
Ruoyun clicked her tongue. "Get True One! You idiot."
"Hey, I've already tried my best~"
Seeing Ruoyun's frustrated and conflicted expression, Hyacinth chuckled to herself.
[ Star Pattern Descent: The Overturning of the Wind Gate and Cloud Path.]
But in the end, I swiped the card, and the Hyacinth was moved to the bottom.
So he crossed his arms, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said, "Thank you so much, Captain..."
"Just die next time! What a waste of my card."
"I can compensate you with my points."
"... That's alright."
On the other side, Helen was being chased by the Calamity Beast. Her spray didn't last long, and she was now being pursued by the Calamity Beast she had just controlled.
This time, Ruoyun ignored that idiot.
My name is Yu Qi.
Because the three Calamity Human Race above had gathered the magic power of the surrounding Calamity Beast, their forms had changed slightly.
It's become more like Calamity Beast.
Just by looking at him, you could tell he was incredibly difficult to deal with.
" The Holy Church Squad." The feathered girl's voice was melodious. "I've long heard of your reputation, that you're an organization comparable to the Azure Cloud Sect, but it doesn't seem that exaggerated. Should we call your legendary Holy Church Walker over to take a look?"
"You'll be unhappy when they actually come. Consider yourself lucky; the Holy Church Walker is busy destroying other worlds."
Ruoyun sneered, swiping three more cards in quick succession, and twelve [Big Brother Overlord-level Machine Guns] fell to the ground. "Your Calamity Human Realm is not qualified to meet him."
"I see. So it seems it's alright to kill you all here."
"Wow," Hyacinth said regretfully, "I think I misspoke. We've entered a side quest where we have to fight, Captain. This is a major strategic blunder."
"Saying anything will lead to the same result."
Ruoyun nonchalantly grabbed the machine gun, aimed at the Calamity Beast and the three Calamity Human above, and shouted, "Prepare for battle! Don't try to take advantage of the chaos here!"
"Actually, even if I give it my all, it's pretty much the same..."
While the Hyacinth was still struggling to explain, the Calamity Human revealed even more of their Calamity Beast forms.
Just as a major battle was about to erupt, a crisp explosion rang out from the sky.
The short, sharp explosion vanished instantly, followed by silence.
But no one spoke; everyone simply looked up at the sky, which was beginning to crack.
Immediately afterwards, flames began to spill out from the cracks in the sky.
At first, it was just a tiny flame, then a cluster of flames, and then, the flames surged like ocean waves, shattering the crack.
The sky has completely breached its banks!
Like a waterfall, flames roared down from the shattered sky and crashed into the world!
A figure fell from the scorching waves of heat, like a meteor, crashing straight into a thirty-story building in the distance.
Starting from the top floor, the glass in the building shattered one after another, the impact penetrating the entire building until it crashed into the ground, causing the entire foundation of the building to shake!
The entire building was teetering on the brink of collapse. Crackling sparks from the electrical wires and flying glass caused a secondary explosion inside the damaged building, with debris flying from the upper part of the building crashing down on this side.
Whether it was Ruoyun Hyacinth or the three Calamity Human, they all forgot about continuing the fight and stepped forward to block the flying rocks and the surging flames.
Then, when I looked again, I saw the swaying building stained black, slowly rising into the air.
The figure below, which should have been smashed into the ground floor, is actually lifting the entire building up!
Half of its body was smashed, and its entire body was covered in black, making it look like a Calamity Beast.
Then, with a sudden swing, he hurled the thirty-plus-story building directly into the sky!
The enormous building crashed into the hole in the sky like a cannonball, and then, as if it had crashed into a volcano.
More flames burst forth from the breach!
The pillar of fire in the sky continued to strike the person standing on the empty foundation of the building ruins, when suddenly the figure spread its wings.
" Calamity Human Race?"
Ruoyun asked in a low voice.
But the three Calamity Human Race all shook their heads.
How could Calamity Human possibly have such power...?
A red javelin shot out once again from the shattered sky!
The winged boy who had just flown up was attached to the javelin. In just a short while, his wings were almost torn apart, and the boy was covered in blood. After flying for a while with the magic javelin, he leaped into the air.
He broke free from the javelin and leaped towards a nearby building that was mostly destroyed by the bomb, grabbing onto the protruding rebar with one hand.
The person swayed gently hundreds of meters in the air, like a reckless urban extreme climber, on the verge of falling at any moment.
The three Calamity Human all looked on incredulously.
Judging from their appearance, they resemble the Calamity Human Race, but that terrifying power is something that the Calamity Human Race could not possibly control.
Most importantly, this powerful monster seems to have been suppressed all along...
After a short while, someone finally emerged slowly from the shattered sky.
The girl's pale purple eyes, mechanical and indifferent, scanned the entire world before finally locking onto the boy swaying as he clung to the steel bar.
" The Holy Church Walker?"
Ruoyun stared blankly at the pale purple magical girl, then subconsciously asked a question.
But soon, the Hyacinth beside her refuted her claim.
No, that's not it.
Hyacinth's gaze was fixed on the pale purple-clad girl. "The color is too pale. Although she looks similar, the temperament is wrong. Most importantly, she's much taller."
"Maybe he's grown taller..."
How could a magical girl grow taller?
Hyacinth was somewhat speechless. "And looking closely, the power is wrong too."
It's not purple magic; it's red magic when the opponent takes action.
" The Holy Church Walker can disguise himself..."
Hyacinth was slightly taken aback after Ruoyun rejected it.
That's true. If it were her, she should be able to make that kind of change very easily...
While he was pondering, the girl in pale purple had already taken a step and stood in front of the boy who was swaying while gripping the steel bars.
Looking at that indifferent face, Jiang Si finally felt a little interested.
It's not simply about replicating one's own abilities.
The opponent possessed a speed even faster than his physical body, greater strength, and most importantly, the tactics they employed during the battle.
He was always on guard against transforming himself.
It's unbelievable that they could do something like this...
Just as he was about to kick the other person, the girl in light purple simply grabbed his ankle.
The massive impact created a sonic boom in the air, but the girl remained completely still.
Jiang Si released his right hand from the steel bar, and before being thrown away, he pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly slashed across the pale purple-clad girl's face.
No Sword.
His body was once again blown away like a cannonball, with flames exploding on Jiang Si's body.
The girl's pale purple face faltered slightly.
From his chin to the back of his head, it looked as if something sharp had sliced him open, with half of his face seemingly about to slide off his head.
However, the girl in pale purple simply reached out to support him.
The half of his face that was about to slip off was quickly put back in place...
boom!
Jiang Si, whose dragon body was almost completely blown apart, finally crashed into the central main road.
The huge crater caused surrounding buildings to tilt, and many vehicles slid into it. Broken drainpipes sprayed water, and car alarms sounded urgently.
The violent tremor caused Ruoyun, Hyacinth, and even the three Calamity Human on the bridge to sway and almost lose their footing.
The pale purple-clad girl above did not approach; instead, she conjured a massive fireball, as large as the sun!
It targeted the boy who had fallen there, but at the same time, it also included everyone and the Calamity Beast around them!
All five of them abandoned any thought of fighting and immediately shouted, "Run!"
However, before they could move, the first few Calamity Beast that had fled suddenly shifted their positions.
The body, now severed in two, fell to the ground.
"Don't run away."
Everyone froze in place.
Then he turned his head to look.
The boy who had been thrown into the deep pit in the main road was now sitting on the edge of the pit, with one knee on the ground and his left foot swinging leisurely on the edge of the pit.
After noticing the five people watching him, the boy turned his head and looked back at them.
Half of his face had been completely blown apart, and the remaining half was covered in dragon scales, horns, and crimson eyes that were extremely conspicuous.
It's almost impossible to tell what it originally looked like.
However, the oppressive aura, as if teetering on the edge of death, made everyone afraid to make any rash moves.
"Whoever runs away, I'll kill them."
Two more Calamity Beast were slain.
The attack was completely invisible, and nothing was known about it; all that was known was that if anyone dared to move, the Calamity Beast would instantly shatter into pieces.
Above them, the enormous magic cannon emanating from the pale purple girl pressed down on everyone's heads, almost like the sun.
It came crashing down with a deafening roar!
The boy braced himself with his hands behind his back, gazing at the setting sun, and said casually, "Wait a little longer."
The energy cannon was descending at a rapid pace; the intense heat and the pressure of the energy impact were almost touching my scalp!
"Wait a little longer."
However, without the boy's permission, no one dared to move.
Ruoyun clung tightly to the Hyacinth beside her, both of their bodies trembling slightly.
The oppressive force of that magic cannon was so great that it was almost impossible for people to even stand up.
Meanwhile, the other three Calamity Human beside them were now engulfed in flames!
"Wait a little longer."
When one of the Calamity Beast finally couldn't hold back any longer and tried to run away, it was instantly sliced into pieces by something!
However, even without running, the energy cannon was already above my head, and I could almost feel the burning and pain on my scalp!
The Calamity Beast disguised as a tree was even set ablaze, emitting a mournful cry!
Just when I felt my head was about to melt in the magic cannon.
The boy finally clapped his hands.
Let's go.
boom!
Ruoyun grabbed Hyacinth and moved to a different location immediately, but they were still affected by the exploding magic cannon. They were blown away like a Hyacinth, huddled together.
It only came to a stop after crashing into a streetlight.
Faintly, Ruoyun seemed to hear the boy's hoarse laughter from the other side:
"So, it really can't be caught this way...?"
Meanwhile, the three Calamity Human on the other side let out cries of despair.
The one-horned girl was blown to pieces by the magic cannon because she didn't run fast enough, and was on the verge of death. The fish-scaled boy also lost half of his leg and was dragging his leg while holding the one-horned girl and wailing.
Only the feathered girl was fast enough to avoid serious injury, but even she was almost completely stunned by the explosion.
It's not a good feeling to have your life and death controlled by others.
Ruoyun gritted her teeth, pulled Hyacinth up, and looked toward the spot where the magic cannon had exploded.
A massive red mushroom cloud surged upwards again and again, obliterating the surrounding buildings within the magic cannon.
The building seemed to vaporize and evaporate, sending up a shockwave that should have blown the five people away again, causing secondary injuries.
However, the shockwave seemed to be suppressed and restrained by something, unable to be released.
"... The Demonic Blood Stains the Azure Sky."
Faintly, I seemed to hear someone reciting a phrase.
Immediately afterwards, golden magic pierced through the crimson flames.
Shining with golden light, the Calamity Dragon gradually took shape, opening its massive maw amidst the shadows and smoke.
"Roar!"
A tsunami-like golden light instantly engulfed the pale purple magical girl above and the fragmented sky!
Throne of Divine Seal: Golden Calamity Dragon King!
However, within that blazing golden beam of light, the pale purple creature remained unharmed. Instead, it seemed to be taking a bath in the intense heat, its form swaying as it walked step by step toward the Calamity Dragon King!
[WARNING! High concentrations of Emperor contaminant detected!]
[High-risk pollution warning! High-risk pollution warning!]
[Application for highest-level pollution cleanup approved]
[Anti-pollution cleanup is underway...]
In an instant, the golden color on her body dimmed completely, and a red spear appeared in the hand of the pale purple magical girl, piercing through the head of the Calamity Dragon!
The Calamity Dragon felt no pain and bit down on the purple magical girl's shoulder again, almost tearing half of her body off!
However, Alice indifferently took out an even larger red magic spear, and withstood the attack of the Calamity Dragon, knocked it to the ground with a single blow!
The golden, dim Calamity Dragon raised its head, but its pupils contracted slightly.
In the magical girl's hand, countless spears, like a forest, were thrust into its skull!
[Cleanup complete, target contamination concentration confirmed as 0.0%]
[Correction: Mission target pollution concentration 0.001%]
[Correction: Mission objective pollution concentration 0.1%]
[Correction: Mission objective pollution concentration 10%...]
Just as the pale purple Alice looked at the Calamity Dragon before her with a slightly confused expression...
A crown appeared atop the jet-black Calamity Dragon, suddenly gleaming with golden light!
The golden light re-dyeed the Calamity Dragon, transforming it into a golden dragon body, breaking through the Land of Mirrors's blockade!
The dragon's tail suddenly lashed out, piercing through the pale purple Alice and pinning her firmly to the high-rise building!
A faint female voice emanated from within the Golden Calamity Dragon King, sounding like a pronouncement, yet also like a warning:
"The king's curse will never end."
The Golden Calamity Dragon King's crimson pupils were devoid of any emotion. As it drew closer, it opened its maw, unleashing even more magic and curses, this time converging into an even more terrifying breath.
With each breath, it swept across skyscrapers and streets, piercing the heavens and earth, almost splitting the entire world apart.
The tattered figure of Alice fell from the high-rise building like trash.
It drifted down.
