" Keke!"
The royal palace suddenly began to veer off course, and the entire Land of Mirrors turned pitch black.
Calamity Beast began to appear in the surrounding area, causing chaos to ensue in the Land of Mirrors.
Both Yinlian and Keke can instantly transform into magical girls.
However, Yinlian jumped up and discovered the problem.
"I can't fly anymore, Keke!"
"Me too."
The two girls could only hold each other's hands tightly, and then Keke immediately unleashed a large fireball above them.
The Calamity Beast was charging towards the crowd, but there was no sound.
Flames and cherry blossoms mingled together, engulfing the surrounding Calamity Beast, yet there was no real sense of killing Calamity Beast.
Moreover, the people around her were somewhat transparent. When Yinlian reached out and touched them, she found that they passed right through her hand.
"Are we dead?" Keke asked immediately, her skin crawling with fear. "Is this the Underworld?"
Don't talk nonsense--
Just as Yinlian was feeling uncertain and her body was turning cold, the two of them ran and finally saw a mirror.
A familiar figure appeared in the mirror.
" Rose!"
Instead of immediately showing joy and relief at meeting an acquaintance, Yinlian became even more wary. "Why are you here?"
Keke paused for a moment, then immediately remembered the magical girl from the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau who had investigated her brother.
She is also a magical girl working for the Beihai Police Department. Before Yiyi's older sister died, Yi Yi, Yiyi, and Rose Ji dealt with a Minotaur Calamity Beast. Rose's ability is to add buffs, which is quite useful.
However, quite a long time has passed, and Keke hasn't seen her since, almost forgetting about her.
The yellow-clad magical girl looked at her captain with a hint of helplessness. "That look of yours is a bit hurtful, Captain."
"You're Land of Mirrors who infiltrated the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau?" Yinlian gritted her teeth. "Traitor! Everyone treated you so sincerely—"
Rose immediately raised her hand innocently, "Wait, wait, Captain, I only just found out I'm Alice of the Land of Mirrors. I didn't even know this before. You guys are sincere, and I'm sincere too. I can't be called a traitor."
Yinlian was stunned. "Huh? Is that so?"
"Why would I lie to you? You're all imprisoned now anyway." Rose shrugged. " The Land of Mirrors only recalled me recently, awakening my memories as Alice. Otherwise, I wanted to live my whole life as an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, both Yinlian and Keke, who had originally intended to take action, hesitated.
"Back then, the Land of Mirrors was still under lockdown. I was wandering around, neither human nor ghost, and it was exhausting. So I erased my memories and became an ordinary person in the New World, To Live. I haven't done anything bad."
"I never intended to serve the Land of Mirrors again. I just wanted to live an ordinary life, pursue my own simple happiness, and even as a magical girl and a police officer, I helped many people. Do you think I did anything wrong, Captain?"
Looking at her teammate with whom she had fought side by side many times, Yinlian looked to Coco for help. Keke Keke asked, "How do we know if what you're saying is true or false?"
Rose plucked her chip from her forehead. " Alice's strength lies in the visualization of memory data. Once you see my memories, you'll know whether I'm lying or not."
"Regardless of the circumstances, you've imprisoned us now—"
"I am Alice, Alice of the Land of Mirrors. Once summoned, I cannot disobey; this is Alice's underlying code. Fortunately, the Land of Mirrors's order is only to secretly imprison you; it does not require me to harm you."
Rose, holding her chip, knelt down. "It'll Keke alright if I'm imprisoned for a while, Captain. And Coco, as long as you stay here obediently for a while, I can leave the Land of Mirrors and return to the New World to continue my life. You know, I'm all my parents have left. I have to take care of them. I don't want to die, and I don't want to lose my past life."
His sincere tone left Keke and Yinlian somewhat helpless for a moment.
Yinlian felt a surge of anger. If the Prince had approached her and Keke with this intention from the beginning, wanting to use Rose to safely imprison them, he could have avoided angering Jiang Si Jiang Si and still have leverage over her.
She was truly disappointed and angry with the Prince!
Keke's magic coalesced, flames bloomed in the darkness, and the glass in front of her began to melt. "We won't kill you, we'll just knock you unconscious, and then we'll take you out! Don't worry, leave it to us."
Yinlian naturally nodded behind Keke.
She didn't know when it started, but between the two of them, Keke the decisions, and she listened to Keke's words more and more often.
Coco is Keke more suited to be the captain.
However, Rose only hung her head dejectedly, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Unless you kill me, you can't leave. The Land of Mirrors considered this from the very beginning—please, I really just want to live. I want to go back to see my mom and dad—"
"No matter what," Keke hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Let's give it a try first."
" Alice's Self-Defense System--"
The Rose stood up, and its previously tearful expression gradually changed, becoming stiff and cold.
He chanted the self-counterattack system and took out his wand.
A javelin exploded silently at her temple, leaving a red and white mark!
The glass shattered on the floor, and Alice Rose, hidden in the mirror, was thrown out.
Keke and Yinlian looked around in astonishment before spotting the magical girl holding a javelin not far away.
The same magical outfit, but with black and white patterns; the same face, but a more youthful appearance; and a shorter stature, making her look like a younger Rose!
What's even more striking is the other person's eerily pale skin and the strange white horns extending from their forehead!
" Rose?"
Despite having her head pierced, Alice Rose struggled to her feet. Looking at herself not far away, her previously stiff and cold expression softened into a smile. "Damn it, how are you still To Live?"
The slightly eerie magical girl pulled out a cell phone, its screen displaying standard Song typeface text.
"I will not die until you die, you thief."
"Calling me a thief is such an offensive term. Your parents abandoned you willingly; it has nothing to do with me. You're blaming the wrong person."
"And taking action now is going too far. There were plenty of opportunities before."
"The sect leader said, 'Play the long game.'"
While holding her phone in one hand, displaying various texts and engaging in a smooth conversation with the other person, Rose twirled a javelin in the other hand.
Easily imbuing her with different colored magic, she walked to Alice Rose's side. "Also, let me grow up a bit before you kill anyone. I'm fifteen this year, practically an adult."
"You're still very young." Alice Rose, unperturbed by the javelin poking her forehead, simply smiled and said, "But your parents will probably be very sad. Look at you, you look even more like Alice than I do, World Ghost! Your parents won't acknowledge you."
"They must be heartbroken to lose their daughter whom they've raised for twenty years. Just thinking about it makes me so sad for them."
You don't need to worry about it.
The Rose petals slammed down, smashing her head open. "I won't go back."
Then they summoned javelins and bombarded the area again and again.
"Wait—" Yinlian called out, somewhat bewildered, momentarily confused.
However, Rose ignored her and instead looked at Keke, scrutinizing her curiously before giving her a warm smile.
It seems like this isn't the same person who just whipped the corpse.
Come with me.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.
Everyone knows Shion's transformation lines.
When those words echoed throughout the entire palace, even the soaring music seemed to be drowned out.
An Shiyu and Susan both looked at Jiang Si with a blank and somewhat puzzled expression, and most of the people around them were also astonished.
The Prince clenched his fist tightly.
Her fingertips almost pierced her palm, and the petal fragments she crushed drifted down little by little as she gazed at the boy, waiting for the moment when the overwhelming purple magic would erupt.
Two or three minutes passed, and the music had already gone from its climax to a gentler pace, but Jiang Si remained on stage, still holding the Miracle Seed, without any change in expression.
"How dare you play me!"
Someone shouted from below.
Many girls were whispering amongst themselves, some of them clearly mocking the situation.
The Prince's blood-red cleavage had also melted slightly, revealing a hint of confusion emerging from beneath the ice.
For a fleeting moment, she did doubt herself.
Just when everyone began to doubt whether Jiang Si was bluffing.
Jiang Si nodded, "Yes, I mispronounced the transformation word, sorry."
The entire palace fell silent for a moment.
Susan in front almost fell off her stool, while An Shiyu next to her covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably as if she had been struck by something, looking extremely amused.
More angry shouts and boos followed.
Until Jiang Si spoke again, "The dragon represents space, and the moon represents time."
Dark magic and a golden curse began to emanate from his body.
The Prince beside him was forced to take a step back.
The enormous dragon wings slowly unfurled, giving it a majestic, Shrouding the Heavens appearance!
"[ Heaven and Earth Dragon Chants the Moon ]-"
"Transform."
The dragon's wings retracted, and in an instant, it became a small ball.
When the small black and gold light dispersed, the black and gold magical girl was reflected in the Prince's blood-red pupils.
It almost dyed her pupils golden.
Then, Shion stretched out her right hand, her small palm resembling a dragon's claw, and then suddenly clenched it towards the outside of the palace!
A golden curse instantly spread throughout the entire palace!
Those who had just been shouting and hissing immediately shrank back, some saying in bewilderment and helplessness, "W-how... how is it really Shion Shion--"
"Wait, why is the sect leader a boy?"
"Oh no, Taotao, what do we do? I just laughed!"
"Don't worry, you're next, Xiami."
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Let's go, hurry up and go! I didn't see anything!"
"Sit down!"
Can winning the sect competition be considered a get-out-of-jail-free card?
"Since I contributed the most, can I apologize first?"
"Then I'll prioritize using public funds for meals, drinks, and taking advantage of loopholes—"
"Run! There's no way you can survive! That's the legendary Shion!"
"Just... just want to get out of this place!"
After a brief silence, the entire palace erupted in noise once more!
Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of people shouted, hundreds and thousands of maggots cried, hundreds and thousands of heads kowtowed to the ground, and the sounds of plastic white chairs being pulled, collapsing, breaking, tearing, and sizzling all came together; those who wanted to escape, those who blocked others, those who apologized, and those who begged for mercy, their chattering voices were like those of a ghost marriage, with chimes, cymbals, and gongs ringing all at once.
The noise is really annoying.
Until the black-and-gold-clad girl spoke, "Are you satisfied now?"
All sounds ceased.
The Prince stared blankly at the golden curse that covered the palace, showing no surprise, anger, or unexpectedness.
The silence was as if everything was perfectly normal.
After a long while, upon hearing Shion's question, she closed her eyes.
A gust of wind blew up the petals, which now looked like needles, brushing past me with a dense, stinging pain.
As the corners of his mouth kept drooping downwards, the Prince stubbornly tugged at his lips.
He forced a smile.
Knowing that it would hurt when the needle pierced my skin, I was mentally prepared to endure the pain and bear it.
But when the stab actually comes, all the preparations seem pale and powerless.
He couldn't breathe, he had no strength, and the bloodshot in his eyes spread in concentric circles, almost staining his eye sockets and corners red.
The proud Prince, the noble Mirror King, merely chuckled, as if everything was still under his control.
He took a slight step back, using his left leg as a support to keep his body from swaying.
Majesty, majesty, majesty--
However, the method of squinting to create a sense of pressure, which he used to do in the past, no longer worked.
She could only manage to open her eyelids with all her might, sniffed, and maintained her arrogant and contemptuous smile. "How foolish, Shion. You've fallen for it, haven't you? Now, everyone knows who you are."
She invited people from almost every organization, including the Witch Association, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, and the Old World.
She transforms in front of everyone; from now on, Shion's identity will no longer be a secret!
She bit her lip hard, as if she had finally grasped a victory that would allow her to hold her head high with pride!
Shion looked at her without saying a word, only flicking her dragon tail.
He softly recited. "The path of humanity is fleeting, the path of immortality is boundless."
The Prince's genitals suddenly contracted, looking down at the guests.
While An Shiyu was still wondering what Shion meant, Susan next to her suddenly stood up. "Humanity is fleeting!" Before she could react, she saw even more people standing up, densely packed together!
Many of them were the same girls who had just scolded Jiang Si for making a scene; now they stood up, bewildered and fearful.
Then, looking like he was about to cry, with a bitter and frustrated expression, he finally opened Susan mouth and said, "The path to immortality is vast and uncertain!"
The tables crashed open with a crash, and many Witch Association who were still in their seats, trying to maintain their last shred of dignity, fell to the ground along with the people of the Old World, staring blankly and in terror at the magical girl in front of them who had begun to recite poetry!
Immediately following, an even more resolute and solemn voice echoed once more, echoing Shion's lines. "The path of ghosts rejoices, at the gate of life!"
The deafening, synchronized sound soared into the sky amidst the golden curse!
"The path of immortality values life, and its blessings extend to all beings!"
But then she heard a loud noise coming from outside, An Shiyu immediately peeked out.
Outside, a huge, dark mass of people stood up!
All the voices merged together, finally blending into a loud and powerful unison recitation!
"I only wish for the Way of Heaven to prevail, and not for the Way of Humanity to be impoverished."
"The heavens are vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes ever more!"
The sound was deafening and its momentum was overwhelming, so much so that even the Prince staggered under its immense power!
All the remaining members of the Witch Association, along with the people from the Old World, were now slumped on the ground, trembling, staring blankly at the Azure Cloud Sect's team-building event before them, muttering in despair, "It's over, it's all over-"
Even Mujin couldn't help but emerge from An Shiyu's body, looking at the rows of Azure Cloud disciples and the serious Susan beside her, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You guys are unbeatable! We're truly impressed! Such a grand spectacle, you'd think we were really here for our boss's wedding!" Before he could finish speaking, An Shiyu firmly pressed him back down.
Seeing the gazes of the other magical girls from the Azure Cloud Sect converge on her, An Shiyu could only smile and bow, looking apologetic.
On stage, the Mirror King's cherry lips parted slightly, and Tong Kong trembled violently.
As the recitation ended, colorful magical lights illuminated the palace, instantly transforming it into a neon-lit ballroom.
She gazed at Shion, then at the Azure Cloud disciples scattered across the ground behind her.
He finally burst out laughing.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the laughter grew increasingly intense, with no regard for royal dignity or etiquette. They even bent over slightly, clutching their stomachs, laughing so hard that tears streamed down their faces.
"You've planned this very well, Shion. The Witch Association I invited, along with the members of the Old World, have all been replaced by magical girls from the Azure Cloud Sect."
As he spoke, the Prince straightened up, wiping away his tears, "You did a wonderful job."
They even clapped, and the laughter gradually subsided.
"I lost."
Although it was silent, she seemed to hear laughter and mockery.
It's been a long time since that.
Memories I had long forgotten surged back uncontrollably.
It happened both in the royal palace and on the stage.
The performances and competitions that were designed to make them look bad came from the mother's scolding, the brothers' and sisters' ridicule, and those looks and expressions.
The memory is vivid, the pain is etched into my very soul.
After that, the Land of Mirrors was destroyed, and she escaped alone, barely surviving in the cracks of society.
For a long time, no one talked to her, there was no systematic conversation, only one person, soberly waiting and suffering in the empty and silent crevice.
What kept her going was the etched sense of failure in her heart, and the indelible shame that haunted her day and night!
Her extreme pride allowed her to easily endure a long and lonely life alone.
Her pride and her dignity would not allow her to lose and never have another chance to win!
Therefore, she must survive, restore her kingdom, and do what no one in the Land of Mirrors could do: conquer the New World and lead the Land of Mirrors beyond the world!
She will become the greatest queen of the Land of Mirrors and completely erase the shame and resentment that once tormented her!
She raised her head, still like a swan that never bows its head, her white neck taut.
It was as if she had used all her strength to keep her pride from crumbling.
"But it's not over yet, Shion. Don't think you've won."
"You wouldn't think I'm so stupid as to expose your identity in the palace, would you?"
With a cold laugh, she abruptly pressed the button on her bracelet. "Here lies the Mental Image Remnants, on the verge of collapse! Just like this, I can completely destroy it!"
The entire palace suddenly changed its appearance!
It had actually become a broken Mental Image Domain, floating in the spatial turbulence, and vibrating in the spatial turbulence as the Mirror King pressed the button.
The spatial turbulence also stirred up a storm!
Mujin below immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
After all, she came from the Mental Image Remnants, so she knew all too well the situation of rust!
The fusion and repulsion between Personal Reality and the world cause spatial collapse and chaos.
The resulting destruction was far more devastating than any natural disaster!
However, none of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples moved; they remained standing in neat rows. Some were holding onto the Witch Association and members of the Old World beside them, seemingly unconcerned about the collapse of the Mental Image Remnants.
"Give us some strength; don't expect Shion to save you all by herself—"
I was initially going to yell at these people for causing trouble for Shion, but then I saw the Mental Image Remnants tremble, and the surrounding golden curse flickered—trembled, flickered, trembled, flickered—
The Mental Image Remnants stubbornly intact, showing no sign of breaking down.
Susan gave Mujin a strange look, and Mujin, extremely embarrassed, immediately shrank back and gave way to An Shiyu.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I... I was just worried about everyone--"
Although she felt indignant at her senior's embarrassment, An Shiyu still obediently and carefully apologized.
Fortunately, people's attention wasn't actually on that.
Instead, everyone's gaze was fixed on the two people on the main stage.
Mirror King blinked hard, then threw away the bracelet in the box.
These were originally a pair of matching bracelets with Jiang Si's.
"Don't think I only have this one son."
She stubbornly raised her head, "I have plenty of backyards. Take your Azure Cloud Sect and get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless when it comes to your sister's safety!"
In order to safely capture Keke, she even activated Alice had been missing in the Beihai for many years.
Using colleagues from the ⊥Sea Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to live with Keke is the perfect choice.
Magical girls are most sentimental; they would never kill Alice Rose, nor would they want to harm Keke, anger Shion, or force him to retreat.
[Report: Alice Rose has completely ceased activity. Keke and Yinlian are currently leaving the independent space under the protection of the real Rose.]
The palace was eerily silent.
It felt as if something was breaking, or as if something heavy was slowly pressing down from above.
They gradually weighed down the swan-like girl, making it almost impossible for her to lift her head.
Strength, strategy, self-respect, pride.
Everything about her is like glass.
Her lips gradually decayed between her pearly teeth, and drops of blood trickled from the corners of her lips.
What they wanted to grasp was the last vestige of dignity and pride they had left.
I don't want to be trampled into mud.
"I can drop the matter of annulling the engagement."
But then the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect said indifferently, "Three days."
The Prince, who had been silent, looked up, staring blankly at the breathtakingly beautiful girl, then tilted his head slightly and looked away. "What?"
"If you can defeat me in three days, you must break off the engagement. If you lose, you will be my slave, and that's entirely up to you."
The Prince's tongue brushed against her lips and teeth, tasting the sweet, metallic blood and the bitten flesh. The pain, however, felt like an anesthetic, giving her a slight sense of comfort.
"Ha."
She smiled slightly. "Break off the engagement? Oh, so you've been thinking about breaking off the engagement with me all along."
The Prince produced the marriage contract.
The Contract bearing the names of Si Motu and Zi Chan was crumpled, yet still intact.
"No need for three days!" As if grasping at the last remaining pillar, she braced herself, preventing the existence of the name Yitaen from being trampled and melted away in shame. "I don't need you to annul the engagement!"
"It is I, Yitaen, who is divorcing you today!"
