As the marriage contract slapped against her face, a rare look of pain flashed in Shion's golden pupils.
Slightly out of breath, she gripped her marriage certificate tightly. Her knuckles were white.
You've mixed up all the lines!
She used all my words!
Although she maintained her expression unchanged, Shion's tail was wagging like a fan.
Six Leaves even went down to the stage and yelled "Ah ah ah" at the tail of the electric fan. Her voice was cut into small, fragmented sounds, turning into lively and interesting vibrato.
An Shiyu, watching from the side, couldn't help but relax.
However, Four Leaves immediately grabbed her ear and pulled her back.
Only Shuangye came this time as a true disciple. According to past rules, the sect leader's personal involvement was not required from the true disciples.
However, this time, for the sake of the sect leader's great cause of annuling the engagement, Shuangye was specially dispatched by Bingtang to assist her.
As a result, at such a crucial moment, the sect leader recited his lines incorrectly.
And Shion, standing on the stage, was also working her super brain at lightning speed.
As an outstanding performer, I must demonstrate the composure and calmness characteristic of veteran artists.
Performance accidents are quite normal.
Film history is replete with classic moments born from acting mishaps. For example, the scene where the Graduate male and female leads, bewildered and lost in thought after the director forgot to call "cut," was interpreted as a reflection of a generation's confusion, helplessness, and sorrow.
Or, in the Dark Knight, the Joker might press a button to detonate a bomb in a hospital, only to have it malfunction halfway through, then suddenly explode again, startling the Joker and adding depth to an otherwise unremarkable performance.
These were all things she learned from the director's novels in the entertainment industry. Although the beginning of the one she read was poorly written, it still inspired Shion a lot, gave her some knowledge of film and acting, and laid the foundation for her acting methods.
The later part, where she gradually accumulates the power of incense offerings and vows through filming, and successfully cultivates immortality, is also well-written; she could give it a passing grade.
Picking up the marriage Contract slapped in his face, his super brain worked at lightning speed, time seemed to slow down, and the Prince, who had just thrown away the marriage contract, hadn't even had time to pull his hand back.
You—dare to divorce me?
Making the best of a bad situation is the key to successful filmmaking.
Getting it done is more important than perfecting it!
Upon hearing Shion's words, the Prince's emotions froze for a moment, leaving him feeling somewhat bewildered.
She looked up at Shion, the little purple girl whose expression remained indifferent. Apart from her tail wagging so hard it seemed to fly, she showed no anger or dissatisfaction.
A slight sense of bewilderment and a fleeting hope that the other person might care about the wedding welled up within me.
She then quickly strangled him to death with her own hands.
I must sever all ties of affection here, and seal my heart and lock away all love.
We fight solely for the Land of Mirrors and to conquer the world!
"Fine, it's over. From this day forward, we're sworn enemies. Shion, one day you'll pay for today's humiliation a hundredfold!"
Shion felt around on her body. Although she didn't have any Qi Gathering Powder, she still had extra Bigu Pill in her hand.
He tossed it to the other person, saying, "Since you've dissolved the engagement, this Bigu Pill is for you. In three days—"
But the Prince threw it hard to the ground, stepped on it, and twisted it!
"I don't need your charity, Shion. I've come to give you one last gift!"
In the shadows, the Mental Image Remnants began to roar!
The surrounding environment began to change rapidly; the walls, glass, tables, chairs, and stage all burst into flames.
An Shiyu immediately stood up, but when she looked around, she found that none of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were afraid.
Everyone was simply releasing their magic, and those multicolored magical energies kept surging towards Shion.
Not a single Azure Cloud disciple felt fear, nor did anyone want to resist.
This time, neither An Shiyu nor Mujin made a fuss, nor did they worry and remind everyone to be careful.
Just like everyone else, her gaze was fixed on Shion was in the very center of the stage.
Those two round, jet-black dragon horns acted like receivers, drawing all the magic into them.
Layer upon layer of dazzling light shimmered, turning the dragon horns into colorful light bulbs.
Extremely ornate and extravagant.
The next second, the Prince's body began to disintegrate. The Prince, who had never come in his true form but had only borrowed Alice's body, now completely released all the Remnants magic power and authority within him!
The Mental Image Remnants, originally controlled by the golden curse, gradually reshaped into a gigantic Calamity Beast amidst the burning flames.
Devouring the Prince's Remnants, all the remaining Alice were paralyzed and rendered useless, pouring all their power into this Calamity Beast!
Everyone has now become human material inside the Calamity Beast's belly!
"It's already close to S-rank!"
The Mujin inside An Shiyu gasped, "The technology of the Land of Mirrors can actually reach this level?"
It even broke free from the effects of the golden curse, continuing to expand and grow larger, its form gradually swelling, and it squeezed out of the spatial turbulence!
However, Dragon Lord Shion simply reached out and gently tapped her own dragon horn.
Between the dragon's horns, unstable clusters of magical light were rapidly converging!
There are no unnecessary steps involved. As the foundation of all magical girls, the gathering of magical power is an instinctive ability that every magical girl uses when transforming. For magical girls, it is an ability as natural as breathing.
However, for Mujin, this was indeed the first time she had ever seen such a cluster of magical energy formed by the convergence of so many different types of magic.
Even Shion, when so many complex and conflicting magical energies converged, immediately became unstable.
wrong.
Mujin suddenly discovered a problem: instability wasn't just caused by the mixing of multiple magical powers.
Rather, it was Shion's own magic power; the control of her single magical power remained in an unstable state.
Mujin was horrified when she realized this.
From the very beginning, she knew that Shion's control over magic had reached an unbelievable level, enabling her to safely and completely separate two worlds that were 99% merged through her meticulous manipulation of magic.
However, he deliberately kept each type of magic in an unstable state, and in this unbalanced state, he forcibly fused the magic together!
Even stable magic can repel and explode upon collision, but Shion, by fusing two or more unstable magics, has always kept the composite magic orb in this delicate state of imbalance.
It is continuous but not so explosive as to become calm and lose its power.
And so, a magic cannon that kept twisting, expanding, deforming, and shifting slowly formed within Shion's dragon horn.
The fingers touching the dragon horns curled slightly, then...
Shion gently flicked her dragon horn.
The crisp sound was like a fuse being lit, and the unstable seven-colored light cluster within the dragon horn began to bloom at a terrifying speed. That was—
The most universal attack magic that any magical girl can use, requiring no practice and becoming an automatic ability as natural as sleeping or eating – Calamity Annihilation Light Cannon!
The dazzling aurora borealis engulfed the world in an instant, and everyone lost their sight and consciousness!
"Wasn't the wedding supposed to be here?"
"Why can't I find it?"
"Damn, are you directionally challenged? Can't you even read a map?"
"Ahhh, Si Motu!"
Inside the van, Xilan screamed with a headache, the shouts of the scoundrels around her deafening.
"Where is the Holy Church!" she forcefully interrupted the commotion, demanding fiercely, "Didn't we agree to hire the Holy Church to storm the wedding and kidnap Si Motu?! Where are the Holy Church members? Did we waste all that money?!"
"Surely the Holy Church isn't lost too?" Yun Ke rubbed her temples and glanced at Xilan in the passenger seat. "What do we do now? Which way should we go?"
"A bunch of useless trash! Si Motu spent so much money just to raise a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Xilan gritted her teeth in anger, looking at the map in her hand, then glancing up at the sky over South China. " South China is clearly your territory, yet you can't even find a place here!"
"Heh, if you're so capable, you go and do it yourself. Who do you think you are? You're just a dog that used to follow Si Motu around a while back—"
"You're worse than a dog, how dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are!"
The argument between the two Complete Witch gradually silenced all other sounds in the van, leaving only the two girls' loud voices that were almost deafening.
The Veteran Driver could only helplessly honk the horn, "Alright, alright, should we continue searching or go back? There's still no news from the Holy Church— "
"Shut up, who do you think you are?"
"You have no right to speak here!"
Faced with the suppression from two Complete Witch, the Veteran Driver simply sneered, "I'm the president of the Witch Association!"
This time, not only the two Complete Witch, but also the other members of the Witch Association behind them burst into laughter.
The Veteran Driver retorted, "Laughing? Still laughing? You'll realize you're wrong once you get to headquarters!"
Xilan patted the Veteran Driver's face, about to launch into a sarcastic remark.
The ground suddenly shook, and the van began to sway violently, sliding towards the bottom of the road!
The Veteran Driver, looking surprised, slammed on the brakes, and everyone looked out of the car.
A terrifying magic cannon shattered space and shot straight into the sky!
When it exploded in the air, it looked like a colorful neon light, flashing with the vibrant colors of the aurora.
As it dispersed, it was as if a spinning laser ball was sprinkling diamond-like spots of light onto everyone's face, flickering on and off.
Under the enormous, seven-colored magic cannon, the entire world transformed into a mesmerizing, boiling dance hall, filled with screams and clamor, like a chaotic dance floor under a subwoofer.
Then came a deathly silence, like that of a graveyard at night.
The van was completely silent; even breathing was suppressed to a minimum, as if everyone was afraid that if they took another breath, they would be locked onto by that magic cannon.
After recovering slightly from the fear and shock, Xilan and Yun Ke, who were so frightened that they hugged each other, exchanged a glance.
Then he immediately kicked the other person away in disgust.
Without anyone saying a word, everyone quickly reached a consensus.
The Veteran Driver turned the steering wheel and slammed on the gas pedal.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"If I can't beat you, what kind of king am I?"
"You don't need to come looking for me, I'll come back to you, Shion."
I'll make you regret deceiving me!
The sound, drowned out by the magic cannon, echoed in his mind.
The Prince sat up abruptly from the medical pod and rubbed his forehead.
The sensation of death still makes the brain tremble, yet it cannot truly penetrate the body.
It causes the body to lose strength, the blood to become cold, and even the feeling that the bones and flesh are about to dissolve.
It flows from an intact heart.
Like countless needles coursing through her veins, sending waves of sensation through every part of her body, every internal organ.
Severe pain that makes it hard to breathe and makes me want to vomit.
Sitting in the medical pod, he stared blankly ahead.
Her mind went blank; the pain made it difficult for her to think for a moment.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe a second, maybe an hour.
Then, she suddenly muttered something to herself.
"It's all as expected."
Using a fake body to trick Shion into revealing herself, disguising herself as the Mental Image Remnants of the royal palace, and finally, the Calamity Beast self-destructs.
The only somewhat unexpected thing was the failure of the Alice Rose.
Perhaps this is not surprising.
The complete defeat in the confrontation left me with a lot of frustration and resentment, but these emotions were only fleeting.
Calm down, all plans are proceeding as scheduled.
There's no need to be anxious or disappointed; everything is as expected.
Next, we simply continue along the plan until we succeed.
She struggled to climb out of the medical pod, water splashing out from inside and staining the luxurious stone floor. She staggered forward.
"It doesn't matter."
Her body was becoming somewhat uncontrollable, she murmured, her bloodshot pupils, somewhat dim and empty, were difficult to focus.
The field of vision also became somewhat narrow and blurry.
The slippery ground caused her to stumble and fall to the ground.
The pain slightly sharpened my vision.
"It doesn't matter----"
Lying on the transparent floor, curled up, trying to push herself up.
But she always failed; the slippery ground prevented her from finding a foothold.
The fingers, braced against the ground, gradually began to scratch at the slippery glass bricks.
He scratched and scratched, over and over again, almost splitting his nails.
Several scratches were left on the glass brick, stained with blood, and blood seeped from under the fingernails; some fingernails were torn open.
She opened her mouth, then went from scratching to clenching her fist and slamming it on the floor.
"It's okay, I... I won't—"
The pain of falling caused all my emotions to explode, like a flood bursting its banks and destroying our defenses.
Her wet hair dripped water from her nose, earlobes, and chin. "I wouldn't care about something like that!"
The transparent floor began to vaguely reflect its own image.
Weak, ugly, wretched----
It's a complete mess.
The self she hated most, the self she least wanted to see, the self she couldn't deny, squeezed into her blood-red pupils, almost blurring them into a hazy blur.
When he came to his senses, he had already smashed the floor tiles in front of him with a single punch.
Several faces were fragmented into the cracked glass.
Pride, mockery, indifference, pity----
"Die! Die! Die! Die!"
His fists were mangled and bloody from each impact, and the floor shattered completely, utterly smashing his ridiculous self to pieces.
The empty house echoed with the sounds of shattering glass and hammering, when suddenly the sharpest sound pierced my finger, and the house fell silent once more.
"That wasn't me! It wasn't me—"
The trembling voice denied what it saw, until it could no longer see its own vulnerable state.
She slowly moved her legs and knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands. Strands of white hair were wrapped around her mouth and spread out, obscuring her face.
Hiss-
With her bloodied hands, she tore open her stockings, carefully removing all the decorations she had used to attract him, and then used the stockings to wipe away the water and bloodstains on the floor.
Her fair feet touched the floor; it had been a long time since she had walked barefoot on the floor.
A cold, slippery sensation spread from the soles of my feet, gradually reaching my stomach, then my internal organs, and finally my brain.
The wet streaks continued to drip from her hair, running down her face.
She picked up one of the stockings and casually wiped it.
After standing up, she walked barefoot towards the door little by little.
Here, all systems are shut down, and no Alice can enter.
This place, which no one is allowed to enter, contains the wedding bed that was arranged beforehand, as well as a dressing table.
She slowly moved to the dressing table. Her face, though slightly tidied, was still weak, disheveled, and her wet hair made her look somewhat disheveled.
But in those bloodshot eyes, there was no longer any weakness or resentment.
She picked up a comb and carefully combed her hair, little by little, along her shoulder.
I combed up all the overly long sections, and then picked up the scissors.
Without hesitation, I cut off those cumbersome long hairs.
Pick up an eyebrow pencil and draw your eyebrows yourself; pick up a lipstick and apply your lip color.
As her blood-red pupils gradually hardened, she used lipstick to curl the corners of her mouth upwards.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled.
"I am, the Mirror King."
She said to herself, "I am the Mirror King Yitaen."
So she put down all her cosmetics, stood up, held her head high, and strode to the door.
When I opened the door.
Alice, along with the systematized little bird, waited quietly at the outer gate.
The barefoot Mirror King revealed a calm smile.
There was no anger, no disgust, and no joy or love whatsoever.
A calm, indifferent smile, like that of a true king.
All that remained was an aloof arrogance that looked down upon the world and an unquestionable majesty.
Let's go.
"Go kill Shion."
