"Captain is awesome!"
Inside the witch's space in the Ruins of Chongxu, Jialan, who had just been pulled up, waved her arms excitedly.
The place they are in is a small, independent space created using technology from the Land of Mirrors, isolated from the Chongxu, which is why the Witch Association can now remain detached from the Chongxu.
In terms of technology alone, the Land of Mirrors may not be inferior to the Chongxu.
Ultimately, it was a difference in direction and location. Had they been in a different position, Chongxu's fate wouldn't have been much better than that of the Land of Mirrors.
"Our experimental creation can actually challenge the original witch! Keke, kill her!"
The Witch Association leader, dressed in a black robe that completely covered her body, sighed and looked at the gesticulating Jialan, "How old are you? Can't you be a little more mature, Jialan?"
"President, aren't you excited? That's the pride of the Witch Association, the strongest Witch Association created by the captain, the Perfect Witch of the guild! And that one over there is a witch too! Holy crap, our witches are about to rise!"
"Are you a witch? One of you witches?"
"Don't worry about such details, President. Tsk, look at this, it's only us witches who have the skills. Unlike magical girls, who just throw around all sorts of fancy moves from low to high, like high-level, Full Bloom -fledged, nine-turn Full Blossom or blooming at levels one, two, and three. It's all about wheelchairs and stats! Look at our Keke Witch, it's all about hard work and sweat!"
"She's a magical girl, okay? Does Keke consider herself a witch?"
"Whether she admits it or not, she's still a source of pride for our Witch Association! Not only can she rival the First Witch, but even Shion is just a roadside dummy in her presence!"
How much did you bet on Keke?
Jialan paused, then gave a dry laugh, "Not much, President."
"Once the Holy Church completely takes over Chongxu, those currencies in Chongxu will become worthless."
"President, save me!"
All the assets of Jialan, who was in Chongxu, were immediately overcome with grief and tears.
The president of the Witch Association ignored her, focusing instead on Coco, who was Keke of standing up to the original witch.
He took a sip of tea. "But where did the captain get the technology to create two Personal Reality? The Witch Association doesn't have that technology."
Who knows? Maybe it was just a coincidence?
"Heh, I have a feeling the captain's identity isn't simple----"
"Wait, how long have they been dead? Isn't it a bit late to say their identities are extraordinary? That was just a newbie village boss—if anyone's extraordinary, it should be our identities."
"If only the Shuangsheng were still here."
Jialan spat, "Don't mention that girl, she's bad luck, a traitor who betrayed us, she actually sided with the Azure Cloud Sect a long time ago!"
"He might be a double agent."
The president said nonchalantly, "Let her come back next time."
Then, seeing that the original witch was so difficult to deal Keke, she kicked Keke out of the Chongxu.
His expression immediately turned serious.
"Shameless! Just kicking people! Never won before, huh? You've run into a cheater, otherwise we Keke have won!"
Then he patted Jialan's forehead. "Quickly contact the Holy Church and the Azure Cloud Sect, and ask them for help!"
"No way, boss, didn't they come here to steal the fruits of others' labor? Aren't you upset about it?"
"Fool! If the original witch wins, the first thing they'll do is settle scores with our Witch Association!"
"Execute immediately—wait, it seems the Azure Cloud Sect people arrived first?"
Near the landfill, in an isolated World Bubble.
"Why are there still members of the Witch Association observing? They even dare to send us messages?"
Yarrow kept a close eye on Keke's condition until she was kicked out of Chongxu Keke. Only then did she glance at the incoming information and wonder, "Has she rebelled, or is our Azure Cloud Sect too lenient?"
Adjusting the World Bubble to better monitor Keke, and also searching for the location of the nearby Witch Association.
During this time, the sect leader created the long-lasting World Bubble, Yarrow was the first to master the true teachings of the World Bubble.
Not only can it be used for a second transformation, but most importantly, it can also be used as a temporary resting place.
"Slaughtering them all is considered lenient? Any more brutal and we'd have to exterminate their entire families. The problem is, those families might accidentally end up being exterminated against our own Azure Cloud Sect— "
Dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, Jiegeng fell into deep thought, appearing exceptionally refined as she seriously considered, "Should we exterminate their entire clan?"
Wouldn't it be more effective to hang the corpses up for public display? After all, we came to Chongxu to kill the Witch Association, so let's just go all the way—"
"Isn't my main task to build my Harry Potter Branch?"
Yarrow muttered to herself, somewhat doubting whether this guy had even remembered the agreement.
Jiegeng had already lost interest in the topic of the Witch Association. While wanting to help Keke, she cursed and gave the middle finger to the Witch Shion, who was hiding in the void above, "How shameless of you! You kicked people out of the Chongxu and then just flew a kite over there. When we get up there, we'll rip your hood off and slap your face until it's crooked!"
"She's using our sect leader's body."
The nearby Yarrow offered a reminder, but the Jiegeng completely ignored it.
"It's alright, the sect leader won't blame us. I accidentally punched him in the nose before, and he only broke my arm; he didn't even scold me."
Yarrow couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Jiegeng's words.
If she could, she wouldn't really want to come with this somewhat irritable colleague, after all, she was there to spread the word and open new doors, not to fight and cause trouble.
But in the entire Azure Cloud Sect, apart from Jiegeng, no one would be willing to come with her to Chongxu to split up the Harry Potter Branch.
Forget about underworld cultivation or capitalist cultivation; nothing compares to the allure of our Hogwarts School.
Yarrow felt that Chongxu needed most right now was a Hogwarts Academy with a mysterious aura, to share the pressure and allow everyone to enjoy the wonder and freedom of magic.
What young child doesn't dream of Hogwarts?
As a result, not long after the two arrived at Chongxu, the original witch suddenly attacked, controlling the sect leader's body.
The land for her school hasn't even been agreed upon with the Holy Church yet!
Biting her nails, Yarrow glared hatefully at the unseen Witch Shion, in the distance. After being kicked out of Chongxu by her authority, it would be difficult to get back in. She had to support Keke in slapping that shit-eating bastard a few times!
In her eyes, these so-called "Complete Witch" were nothing but a bunch of shit-eaters.
Surely the world's number one shit-eater can't be stronger than the Voldemort, right?
It was clear that Keke had been beaten into a frantic escape zone in the garbage dump on the outskirts of Chongxu.
Jiegeng cursed, "You son of a bitch! You, a Dao Lord at the peak of the Full Bloom stage, dare to fight a young genius who's only at the initial stage of the Alternative Full Bloom and whose combat power is just at the beginning of the Full Bloom stage, and you still act so despicable! You're unworthy of being Dao Lord!"
Just as she was about to rush out to fight, Yarrow instinctively pulled her back.
"I told you not to rush."
"If we don't hurry, Keke Coco will die!"
"How could the sect leader's sister be so incompetent?"
Jiegeng was taken aback. "Huh? She's the sect leader's sister?"
Yarrow was also stunned. "Huh? You didn't know? Didn't you Dao Sect is Jiang Si?"
"I know, but no one has told me about the sect leader's sister—"
Yarrow, who had been stunned, suddenly broke into a smile. She took off her hat, tossed her witch's hat around, and laughed heartily, "Hehe, so you didn't know this? Hehe, it seems I'm not the only one being ostracized—no, didn't you see that in the Land of Mirrors?"
"Huh? So the Jiang Si she called out is the sect leader? I thought it was just a coincidence of names----"
Okay, it's just that this supposed "true teaching" is a bit silly.
The only one truly excluded is oneself.
Before they could finish talking, Jiegeng shook off her hand. "No way! The First Witch! That Dao Lord is so shameless! He actually dared to bully young prodigies and even dared to bully the Azure Cloud Sect! He wants to rebel? Did he even ask the Azure Cloud Sect first? I absolutely have to go and help him out!"
With a sigh, Yarrow put her witch's hat back on. "You look down on Coco that much? I bet Coco Keke win. Keke she loses, all you have to do this time when the sect splits is fight; you don't have to worry about anything else."
Jiegeng hesitated for a moment, "Really?"
"Real."
So Jiegeng sat down, put down her bow and arrows, and began waving the cheering stick she always carried.
" Keke Coco! Keke Coco!"
"No, you're betting that Keke lose!"
"I know, but I hope Keke wins. If she wins, I'll be happy. If she loses, I won't have to help you open the scoring gate, so it's not a loss for me!"
Keke Coco!
Yarrow suddenly felt that she was at a disadvantage.
Then she looked at the screen again and saw that Keke had been slapped and flown into the air again. Her eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but stand up!
Although she didn't know what the original witch meant, Keke knew it must have been something extraordinary.
No wonder she could control Witch Shion, the witch; in this form, Shion-sensei is the witch.
When Coco was kicked out of the Chongxu, Keke felt everything around her blur into a stream of light in an instant. The immense repulsive force from the world made her fall headfirst into the outer perimeter.
It crashed headfirst into the ground, smashing through countless layers.
It took him a while to regain his balance.
When I came to my senses, I was already living underground!
--
When you look up slightly, you can see the path she came from.
A series of holes that have already turned into Liuli, and layers of steel sky collapsing and falling!
"Oh no, oh no, this is great!"
For Keke, the biggest problem is that her Dream Marrow Full Bloom.
Actually, it was another voice in my ear.
As she was banished to the void by Chongxu's authority, the voice became increasingly clear.
"What's so good about it?!"
Keke dug herself out of the pit in the ground, and shards of Liuli and crystal fragments tumbled off her magic armor.
The cracks beneath her stretched out like a spider web, crawling across the deep pit where she was, spreading across the entire platform, until they covered the whole space.
In the next instant, she rolled and tumbled, barely dodging a magical arrow shot from above.
It is undoubtedly Masterpiece by Ms. Shion.
The arrow grazed past the tip of a hair, and where its trail passed, the steel sky turned to nothingness!
It then sank into the ground behind it, vibrating and buzzing.
Purple flames erupted from it, instantly filling all the cracks like magma, reflecting a purple hell!
Keke gritted her teeth, resisting the witch's intense heat. She wielded her wand like a sword, causing it to crackle and explode into clusters of beautiful fireworks in the air.
Red, blue, and gold explosions, one after another, wave after wave, destroyed everything in their path.
Whether it was a vast, continuous mountain of scrap iron or a colossal structure rarely seen before, it was reduced to dust in the blink of an eye by the immense power!
Even the smoke and dust were swallowed up!
Just the aftermath -
This caused her to fly backwards repeatedly.
"Good thing you're going to get beaten to death! Next, I'll control your body and put immense pressure on Jiang Si, making him fully aware of the terrifying and ruthless nature of the Magical Girl Liuli!"
"Dream on!"
The moment Keke had already spread out her Magic Sense.
For her, whose combat power has now reached its Full Bloom level, spreading her Magic Sense to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of kilometers is nothing more than a piece of cake.
Even so, she didn't know where she had been hit.
The Magic Sense, spread over hundreds of millions of kilometers, scanned a distance large enough to contain—well, perhaps two or three Earths?
This was already somewhat beyond the imagination of the magical girl who had just finished learning "Understanding the Earth" in her second year of junior high school geography and was about to enter her third year.
But beyond the Magic Sense, and even further beyond, lay endless high walls and a steel-clad earth.
Keke a split second, Coco wondered, "Will there be something wrong with my Magic Sense?"
For a moment, he was unsure whether to use his Magic Sense to extend and investigate further.
Looking around, all that could be seen with the naked eye was an eerily silent space.
Countless enormous pods were lined up not far away. Keke without using her Magic Sense, Coco could clearly see that each of these pods was almost as big as the Beihai!
Even bigger than Beihai!
Inside, there were rows of seats, the cabin doors were large, and it was completely empty, like some kind of abandoned shelter.
Magic arrows rained down on Keke, driving her away and preventing her from stopping.
Some arrows grazed Keke, causing huge explosions. Many cabins were blown to rubble, and most of the cabins that were affected were broken and torn apart. As Keke ran around, some arrows that did not explode were densely embedded in the cabins, trembling dangerously!
The laughter in his heart grew increasingly unrestrained.
"When things get really bad, a strange sense of excitement ignites within you. Don't you think so? Maybe once you completely break ties with us, you'll discover New World."
"I'm not a masochist!"
This annoying voice is another version of myself that only appears when I'm in Full Bloom.
Is this what my dark side looks like? It's a bit annoying, but actually kind of cool.
The name "Darkened Coco "Keke is the name Keke originally wanted for the main character of the comic.
What's annoying is that they're too independent, completely different from me, making it feel like someone else is taking over my control. And then there's my older brother—
"Is it possible that Jiang Si actually prefers me, her younger sister, to you? Maybe Jiang Si 'd be happier if you gave me your body?"
"My brother can only be my brother, and he would never like any other sister!"
While I was thinking, the speed and trajectory of several arrows suddenly changed!
In the World Bubble, Jiegeng's expression changed. "Damn it! You plagiarized me, you shameless little shorty! You can't use this!"
Sure enough, Keke n't dodge it any longer; the arrow exploded violently right above her head!
The compressed magic scattered like shattered glass, and the shockwave slammed her to the ground. Keke used the momentum to roll and dissipate the force, her back landing on an arrow stuck in the ground.
"Oh no!"
The hesitant Jiegeng suddenly stood up, stamping her feet in frustration.
Yarrow's heart skipped a beat.
The sect leader's magic arrows have a fatal characteristic: they don't explode when they miss; instead, they quietly stick into the ground, like an ordinary glowing feather.
But if you crash into it -
boom!
Just like that, a jet-black magic flower explodes!
Coco was thrown into the air, and Keke she could even regain her footing, a second, a third, a fourth—the area she had rolled over was like a minefield, with a series of explosions chasing and biting her buttocks.
Keke was blasted away in a flash!
"Smile, smile, my other self. If you don't smile, the damage will be doubled, and then I can use your body to break ties with my brother."
Keke was so angry she laughed.
The continuous explosions gave her no chance to catch her breath. The shockwaves tumbled and bounced around her, making her completely lose control of her body until she crashed hard into some huge steel structure.
Amidst a teeth-grinding creak, the body passed through giant gear sets, through the city's massive steel billet ruins, and through planetary-sized factories.
But they showed no intention of stopping!
Countless outer walls and high walls were frantically breached, and even the load-bearing Mount Buzhou was being impacted and broken.
Keke Star Flies and Collides.
They shot out directly from the other side of the outer perimeter of the Chongxu!
When they stopped in the outermost void, they finally saw her complete form from her fierce battle against the Shion.
The factory that had been breached earlier was now slowly crumbling like a mountain, with various machines, gears, and hydraulic arms crushing each other like debris!
Amidst the deafening roar, the factory's location resembled an exploding star.
The surrounding area, with its massive mechanical structures, spaceship ruins, construction debris, Dyson sphere ruins, including a collapsing factory and a huge landfill filled with endless garbage, formed a spectacular sight, much like the Kowloon Walled City in the book!
And so it floats in the void of darkness!
Keke was stunned for a long time.
They thought they had been blown to some unknown, remote corner, and that they would never be able to return to the New World.
Feeling a bit panicked, he immediately used his Magic Sense to frantically scan the entire spectacle, only to discover that this hellish place was hundreds of billions of kilometers long, and his Magic Sense simply couldn't explore its end in a short time!
For a moment, he stood there stunned, forgetting the danger he was in, when he heard another mocking voice from his own past. "Still looking, still looking? Stop looking, you country bumpkin, this is the outer edge of Chongxu."
Coco, regaining her Keke, touched her magical armor and took a deep breath.
Even with a magical attack of Shion- sensei level, he was basically unharmed.
Of course, this is not because her skill level has reached that of Shion- sensei.
Rather, it is one of the characteristics she possesses after her Dream Marrow Full Bloom.
As long as you maintain a cheerful attitude, preferably one that's always laughing, you can become immune to all physical attacks.
One of the most important reasons why she was cleaved in two by Bai Mei's sword in the Land of Mirrors was that she couldn't smile at the time.
Coco's fighting ability is greatly reduced Keke she can't smile.
Another arrow was shot, and the moment it left the bowstring, a shriek came from the dark void.
A blinding white light instantly ignited a corner of the Chongxu, like a blazing sun falling from the sky!
The power of this arrow was almost comparable to that of the real Shion- sensei.
That's incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, his pupils contracted, and the arrow was already at his face!
Keke instinctively reached out to block, and the instant they made contact, a sharp pain assaulted her brain, freezing her smile and causing her lips to tremble Keke.
Arrows specifically designed to induce pain----
The arrow pierced her right arm, but Keke gritted her teeth and swung her already limp right arm violently!
The arrow, which was originally heading straight for his face, was deflected.
The arrow grazed her cheek, dragging her unbalanced body for an unknown distance, until even the distant, exploding sun seemed insignificant.
Keke finally managed to yank her arm off, tearing the entire arm off.
The mangled arm, with arrows lodged in it, flew away into the distance without looking back.
It tore apart the floating ruins of the space mothership along the way, triggering another terrifying explosion.
Keke's hair is dancing wildly!
Despite her broken right arm, Keke just grinned and was as happy as Superman.
As a result, his injuries healed rapidly.
"That's right, that's it~ Even though the situation is terrible, we need to pretend we're the villains in an animated film, keep up a wicked grin, and things will become interesting. The other side will think we're very unpredictable."
Looking at the partially destroyed outer perimeter of the Chongxu, Keke gasped. "The wicked smile can't trigger the Full Bloom effect. This ability is passive; it requires a smile that generates positive emotions to activate. The activation speed increases with the positive emotions generated by the smile. If not enough positive emotions are generated, the activation speed will be slower, and the effect will be greatly reduced."
"How utterly clueless," the voice sighed softly. "I was telling you something interesting, and you were explaining your abilities to me."
"After all, I don't have as much free time as you!"
A ball of fire instantly engulfed the spot where she had just been standing, and a surge of intense heat erupted.
As far as the eye could see, everything had turned into lava. The space itself was distorted by the intense heat, making it feel like being in an endless inferno.
Keke's shoe sole was licked, and a sharp burning sensation shot up her feet, causing her smile to waver for a moment.
The other party seems to have figured out their own capabilities.
All attacks were accompanied by unbearable pain.
Shion did it on purpose.
Every arrow, every burst of flame, stirred her emotions and shattered her smile.
While her defenses and regenerative abilities are indeed enhanced by her smile, the pain cannot be eliminated. Once overwhelmed by pain, Keke can no longer maintain a happy smile.
Gritting her teeth, Keke immediately endured the pain and flew towards the outer edge of the Chongxu!
We can't stay in this void any longer!
"We have to re-enter Chongxu, otherwise we'll just get beaten up outside!"
"Why don't you just leave?"
"Everyone is still Chongxu!"
"Who are these 'big shots'? What's their relationship to you?"
Keke circled around the perimeter of the Chongxu, dodging the rain of arrows from the Witch Shion that seemed to attack automatically, while searching for a breakthrough.
The enemy's attention should no longer be on me. As long as I can find an opening, returning to Chongxu shouldn't be difficult.
The problem is that there are no flaws.
The longer you delay, the more anxious you become; the more anxious you become, the less you can smile; and the less you can smile, the more anxious you become!
The Infinite Loop, like an invisible hand, slowly choked Keke.
She could feel her smile stiffening, the joy draining away and gradually turning into bitterness. And once a smile loses its positive emotion, its Full Bloom effect diminishes visibly, like a deflated balloon.
It had already circled the outer perimeter of the massive Chongxu countless times, at least a dozen times, yet it remained like a headless fly.
Keke, gradually falling into Infinite Loop, finally couldn't withstand the barrage of arrows from Teacher Shion.
Bombarded by numerous arrows and forcibly pushed, it plunged deeper into the void. If this continued, it would be lost in this chaotic space, and it might not even be able to return home.
And the time for the Dream Marrow Full Bloom is fast approaching.
The Dream Marrow Full Bloom for three minutes. Once this time is exceeded, the power of the Dream Marrow itself will disappear, and the Full Bloom state cannot be maintained.
Once I stop transforming, it's probably truly my death day.
Keke took a deep breath. Although she had wasted a powerful move here, she wouldn't have much of a chance to counterattack when she entered the Chongxu again.
But if we don't use this place, even survival is a question.
" Mental Image ----"
[ Return to Truth's ridiculous that someone like you is her sister. Remember, since you're his sister, you can't embarrass him!]
Keke paused for a moment, then immediately looked down at her Little Mystic Mirror.
Instead of the system's voice, it came from a familiar girl's voice.
Before she could even utter a word, the Witch Shion's attacks came one after another.
[Those not permitted to fly below the royal court are prohibited from doing so.]
However, the space was fluctuating, and a huge data stream enveloped the outer perimeter of the Chongxu, distorting the space within. All the arrows instantly fell into the darkness.
Everything floating outside the outer perimeter of the Chongxu fell into nothingness in an instant!
Keke stared in disbelief and blurted out.
"Miss Yitaen!"
"What did I tell you? She couldn't help herself."
Chongxu, Holy Church.
Although the entire Chongxu is now under the control of the original witch Lu Ya, most of the members of the Holy Church have fallen into a coma.
However, Ruoyun had already made contingency plans for this situation.
--
The technology of the Mirror Space Land of Mirrors, which was re-established from within Chongxu, is also fully applicable here, and Chongxu's authority cannot extend to the Mirror Space at all.
Even Chongxu composed entirely of data cannot ultimately control the reflection of the moon in a mirror or the flower in water.
The Hyacinth next to her was leisurely eating snacks, slowly stirring her dessert in milk.
Just looking at it was sickeningly sweet; Ruoyun thought the tastes of wealthy people were just too strange.
Luckily, I have money, so things won't turn out like this.
"There's no need to worry about her at all; she can't let go of Keke."
Hearing Hyacinth's words, Ruoyun rolled her eyes, "Is it that you can't let go of Keke, or the Lord of the Holy Church?"
"Well," Hyacinth smiled faintly, "It's better not to say too much. One should always leave room for maneuver."
"Heh, you're the one who talks about people behind their backs the most, now you know to leave some room for others."
"This is a real case of mudslinging, Captain Ruoyun, but wasn't your prediction a little too accurate?"
Hyacinth gazed at the battle reflected in the mirror. Although Keke had been crawling all over the ground earlier, she was completely unharmed, which impressed her. "Although we've been working together for so long, and I know that Captain, your style is always to plan ahead, this time the preparations were far too thorough, and the predictions were so accurate. It's quite remarkable."
"What, do you think I'm incompetent?"
"Of course not, I just wanted to praise the captain for being so amazing. It's like he has Heavenly Eye insight; he knows everything before he even makes a move. I reckon it won't be long before Jiang Si hands over the position of Lord of the Holy Church to you—"
"Oh, that's definitely not what I predicted."
Hyacinth's gray eyes froze for a moment.
Ruoyun smiled slightly, having never successfully teased the other party before. "It was a suggestion from a true disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect named Tiana."
"By the way, it was also her suggestion that we should tell Yitaen about this."
"Because, in her estimation, the probability that Yitaen would help her sister-in-law was," "one hundred percent."
Hyacinth couldn't help but purse her lips, "Little sister-in-law----"
Repeating the name with a slightly teasing tone, he said, "But even Yitaen doesn't have much power left to use right now, does he?"
I lent that to her.
Hyacinth looked slightly shocked. "Huh? Isn't it inappropriate to lend it to her?"
"Don't worry," Ruoyun said calmly, "It's also a way of making a name for the Holy Church. After all, the probability of Yitaen betraying us is extremely low, and her actions are a demonstration of the Holy Church's efforts over the years."
Miss Tiana said the chances of victory are as low as ninety-nine percent.
Are you sure you didn't use the wrong word?
"That's what she said; in her view, there's still a 99% chance the risk is very high."
"Wow, the true disciples of Azure Cloud are really something else—"
"Right? Although Teacher Bai Mei is the most ordinary one, she's actually the strongest among this group of weirdos!"
"Could you please stop steer the conversation towards praising Bai Mei so often?"
"Ha, ignorant brat, forget it, I won't bother with you."
Ruoyun held her head in her hands, shaking her head as she looked at the image in the mirror, "Let them see the ultimate weapon of my Holy Church!"
Outside the Chongxu, in a void.
Keke, not even having time to wipe the dust off her face, looked at the Little Mystic Mirror in her hand that had suddenly come to life, and immediately cheered, "So cool, Miss Yitaen!"
[Hmph, it's just so-so.]
Keke clearly hear a hint of pleasure in her voice.
However, she hid it very well with that arrogance.
Although Coco knew from the beginning that Miss Yitaen wasn't a bad person, it was still a Keke surprise that she would come to help her at such a crucial moment, so she immediately took advantage of the situation.
"Sister Yitaen, please help me save Chongxu!"
[Don't get me wrong, I haven't forgiven you and your brother. I'm just here to see you make a fool of yourselves.]
"I see."
Keke a little disappointed, but then another voice rang in her mind, "Don't be sad. She only used this excuse to save face because she couldn't handle Chongxu. She already exhausted herself trying to stop the Witch Shion's arrows—"
[You've got some nerve, Jiang Keke.]
Startled for a moment, Keke realized that the other voice wasn't just echoing in her mind, but had actually spoken aloud!
"No, I didn't say that!"
[ Chongxu's technology is nothing but garbage, how can it compare to my great Land of Mirrors! With the Omniscience Domain achieved by my system, I can even achieve full control over anti-erosion. Chongxu nothing but a flick of my finger!]
Keke immediately clapped her hands, " The Land of Mirrors is indeed powerful, but unless they take action, no one will know whether it's real or fake—"
Another voice chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, we're not doubting you, we just want to see if the technology of the Land of Mirrors can really rival that of the Chongxu!"
[Foolish and shallow, this is your only chance. Behold the glory of my Land of Mirrors!]
From Shion unknown, a giant hand emerged from the depths of the void.
Five fingers joined together, Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm!
This palm strike possessed almost earth-shattering power; it seemed capable of crushing the massive outer perimeter of the Chongxu with a single blow!
The might of Heaven is overwhelming!
Even though Keke possesses the rule-making abilities of Happy Superman.
Yet, under this terrifying power, the demonic armor shattered, the demonic energy surged, and the internal organs seemed to churn out!
[This is a creation of the Holy Church and the Land of Mirrors. You country bumpkins of Chongxu, kneel and submit to the great technology of my Land of Mirrors!]
The space in front of Keke shattered and then recombine, piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle, quickly piecing together a huge mirror that shone with dazzling light!
[ Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon: Void Mirror!]
The Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm slammed into the Void Mirror!
The mirror surface immediately developed numerous cracks, resembling a spider web!
Just as Keke felt she might not be able to hold on any longer and was about to get up and fly away, she saw the entire Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm slowly sink into the Void Mirror!
It was as if the entire arm had been swallowed by the Void Mirror, and the cracks on the mirror's surface were healing at an incredible speed.
[ Omniscience Domain Analysis Completed]
[Resistance complete, Replica complete, Modification complete----]
The Void Mirror flashed again, and an even larger, more powerful, and terrifying Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm was unleashed from the mirror's surface!
Not only that, the Void Mirror locked onto the attack location, and the enhanced Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm directly smashed through the void in the previous direction, pressing straight towards Shion who was hiding behind it!
Even the Witch Shion had no choice but to block her own full-force attack, and her body was smashed into the ruins below the Chongxu!
It took the Witch Shion a long time to crawl out of the ruins. She looked at the still-shining Void Mirror and hesitated to make a move.
And who are you?
Faced with the Witch Shion's questioning, the system's voice emitted a somewhat cold and complex laugh.
[To question me in this way is extremely disrespectful, but I will spare you this time, considering it is your first offense.]
The Void Mirror lit up again!
The densely packed Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm rained down on the pierced Chongxu!
The Witch Shion sneered, "Oh, I remember now, you're the girl Jiang Si dumped in the Land of Mirrors, aren't you? Or do you really like the title ' Jiang Si's ex-wife'?"
The Witch Shion's originally indifferent pupils flickered, and a sword slowly appeared in her hand.
With a single sword strike, countless Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Palm were cleaved in two!
Space collapsed, the sun and moon were out of alignment, and this also created an irreparable gap in the Chongxu!
Those who disrespect the royal court deserve to die!
The Void Mirror didn't even absorb the sword energy; it merely reflected it and then unleashed equally sharp sword energy!
The Witch Shion gripped the sword blade with one hand, twisted it sharply, and the Filthy Magic Power spread along the sword energy to the Void Mirror, instantly covering the surface of the Void Mirror with dark patterns!
"That poisonous woman Jiang Si dumped, can you please stay out of my way?"
[You're a bitter woman who's never even worn a wedding dress, you have no right to tell me what to do. Besides, it wasn't that he dumped me, it's just that I didn't want to play with him anymore.]
"That's good. After all, he has too many girls around him. It would be really troublesome to deal with them one by one. Jiang Si, after all, belongs to me alone."
[It's been a long time since I've been made to laugh. Disrespectful one, your joke was quite good; I forgive your disrespect.]
"As long as you don't get in my way, I can let you off the hook."
[Hehe, I had already lost interest in Jiang Si, but since you've put it that way, it seems I have no choice but to marry him and banish him to the cold palace. Let's see how anxious you all are!]
The Witch Shion slowly swung her sword, and before the sword even fell, cracks had already spread all over the sealed Void Mirror!
Even though it shattered, countless equally sharp sword energies still bounced back from the broken mirror surface!
That's a really powerful weapon.
Just as she was about to seal off the space, the Witch Shion's movements froze slightly.
Because Keke had somehow already crossed the spatial rift and stepped into the Chongxu once again.
He even came right up to her and grabbed her wrist.
Having just acquired the Witch Shion, I didn't control it very well, especially when facing a magical girl like Keke who was skilled in manipulating magic. In a moment of carelessness, I was completely unaware that Keke had gotten so close.
Just as she was about to slap Keke on the forehead, Keke grabbed her wrist with one hand and pressed the other hand to her chest.
He stared intently at her, "Don't even think about running away."
" Mental Image -
Flames erupted like magma, roaring and surging outwards from the two of them!
--Expand!
The endless fire domain destroyed the entire Chongxu!
In an instant, all the authority on Chongxu and the Witch Shion was burned away!
We won!
"As expected of the strongest witch in our Witch Association!" In the Witch Association, Jialan slid to her knees and shouted hoarsely!
I just want to hug Keke and give her a big kiss!
My big house in Chongxu, every single brick and tile of it was blasted out by Keke!
The president, who hadn't expected Keke to win, looked slightly helpless, yet his eyes gleamed with a mixture of amusement and complexity as he gazed at the flames erupting from Keke's side.
Holy Church.
Ruoyun and Hyacinth clapped their hands, both letting out a sigh of relief.
The other members in the space who were not unconscious also cheered and applauded for Keke.
I knew I could win!
"Who was it that was about to run away just now!"
Only in the World Bubble of Azure Cloud.
--
Yarrow playfully tapped Jiegeng's forehead with her wand, "I told you, there wouldn't be any problem! Trust Keke, Keke our pride!"
6
Jiegeng nodded repeatedly, only managing to say, "Well done! Damn, that was a great fight!"
"In other words, it's Keke's victory!"
Shion watched the little paper figures flying around in front of her and said with some pride, "Of course."
If he can't even defeat his own corpse, then he can't keep this younger sister.
But compared to this...
"Where did you come from, Tiana?"
"Reporting to the sect leader, I walked back and forth across the ground."
After the sect leader pressed her finger down, Tiana immediately became obedient, "I had Lord Bingtang put it on you this morning."
Shion did know that when Bingtang was adjusting her clothes, she casually stuffed a wad of paper into her mouth.
I put it in my bag, and made sure I brought it with me.
Later, when we arrived at Chongxu, we forgot about it.
Before Tiana's paper doll was activated, it was no different from ordinary paper.
As a follower of Gou Daoliu, even Shion has to admit that this is truly impossible to guard against.
"To be honest, the risks were really high. After coming to this haunted place with my master and communicating with my inner self outside, I realized that time here is completely cut off, as if the splashes of Splash in the river of time have been Freeze and trapped here forever."
The little paper doll noticed that Shion was lost in thought, so it paused for a moment and said, "Uh, Master, can you understand me?"
"The Great Road of Time, that's what I told you about before."
"Well, that's basically it. This place is different from the [ Scene of Cause and Effect ]; it's more like [ False History ]. The authority of Chongxu must have been certain they couldn't handle Master, so they threw you into this place deep within Chongxu, where time has Freeze, in an attempt to suppress you. Although I don't think a mere [ False History ] can trap you, it would be safer to find the core and Freeze the time—"
"Do you know why I don't call myself a 'Gou Dao Liu' (Tiana )?"
Upon hearing Shion's question, the paper figure paused. "Uh, because whatever Master does, the probability is always 100%, so Gou Daoliu is meaningless to you."
No one dares to say 100%.
Shion stood up and looked at the tall tower. "Try to do things with a probability of less than 50%, otherwise you'll lose your position as a true disciple sooner or later."
"I will follow Master's teachings."
Watching the listless little paper doll turn to ashes and vanish, Shion knew that Tiana's power probably couldn't do much here.
In fact, Jiang Si didn't dislike Tiana. Compared to Yarrow, Tiana was more likable in every way.
As long as you call on Tiana, she can consider everything thoroughly and do it perfectly.
The downside is that Tiana hasn't done anything with a probability of less than 90% for a long time.
Even a 95% success rate is considered a huge risk in her eyes, and she is increasingly unwilling to take it.
Even if it starts as just imitation, once it becomes a habit, it will eventually become an obstacle to the right path.
After all, the path of a magical girl ultimately relies more on miracles.
In this respect, Tiana is far inferior to Yarrow.
Rather, in terms of distance traveled on the path, very few in the true lineage can surpass Yarrow.
When it came to the replacement of the true successor, as the sect leader, Shion most wanted to replace Tiana, not Yarrow.
The direction doesn't matter; what matters most is how far you can go.
However, judging solely from the current situation, Tiana has been performing very well, so Shion is willing to continue giving her opportunities.
Shion didn't seem to care much about the village where time seemed to Freeze.
They mostly rested and thought about how to further optimize the Azure Cloud Sect after returning.
In the future, the Magical Kingdom, the World Tree, and virtually all the myriad realms will need to be managed by the Azure Cloud Sect, and the responsibilities that the true disciples need to shoulder will be of paramount importance.
The path to enlightenment is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. We must find more magical girls to urge our disciples on.
We need to instill a greater sense of crisis in them.
" Shion, Shion ----"
Lu Ya waved to her through the window again, looking somewhat weak.
"Dinner's ready."
A long time has passed here. Of course, Shion has an absolute sense of time, and she is certain that only a few hours have passed in the outside world.
But here, almost half a year has passed just like that.
She saw the magical girls who were interacting with Lu Ya, but time Freeze here, making it somewhat blurry, and even she couldn't make out their faces clearly.
Most of them came and went. Although they had a good relationship with Lu Ya and planned to build Chongxu together, they were not really close friends who could talk about anything.
More like colleagues.
The village is becoming increasingly sparsely populated.
The spirit of the bullying village is still quite good. Even though they have been taught a lesson by themselves many times, and even though bullying them and Lu Ya might lead to their deaths, these villagers are still brave and persistent in their bullying.
It can only be said that they deserve recognition. If they weren't already dead, Shion would have given them the utmost respect and sent them on their way.
As she walked into the tower, the cries of the surrounding villagers and the mournful clothes they wore caught her eye.
People are dying more and more lately; it won't be long before they're all gone.
When they entered the tower, Lu Ya was still chatting with several other colleagues. They seemed quite excited about what they were talking about.
However, once Shion entered, she quickly stopped.
It won't be long before all the accomplices who gathered here leave.
"Oh, is this your new friend? So cute."
One of the girls, dressed entirely in a black robe, smiled knowingly at Lu Ya before leaving, saying, "But you're not allowed to be nicer to her than to me, okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you idiot!"
Finally, Lu Ya jokingly pushed him out of the tower.
When he returned a while later, he said again, "Don't take it to heart, that guy just likes to joke around."
What kind of organization is she trying to build?
Lu Ya thought for a while before saying, "It seems to be some kind of the Witch Association?"
Shion frowned slightly.
The founder of the Witch Association?
"Anyway, it's really strange that she, a magical girl, wants to seek power outside of magical girl categories."
After cooking for Shion, Lu Ya picked up the things the magical girl had left her earlier. "Ta-da! Look what this is!"
It was a tree branch, incredibly fresh, with dewdrops still dripping from it.
However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were not dewdrops, but rather water droplets formed by the condensation of time, and the branches were hollow.
Above, flowing ceaselessly, like the image of a river—that is time.
"The treasure they found on the World Tree was a branch related to time, but after being taken from the World Tree, the branch seemed to have solidified and could not be used no matter what they did."
Lu Ya waved the branch cutely, her previously weak body finally appearing to have regained some strength. "However, there's no doubt that this contains the Dao Fruit of Time. The rest is just a matter of how to guide this power out."
As she spoke, the girl's gaze became somewhat dreamy. "Then, I'll be able to meet him."
"It's about time to give up."
Shion, who was eating, interrupted her reverie, "You can't become a magical girl."
"Yeah, I've given up."
Personal Reality that doesn't belong to her, coupled with Lu Ya's personality.
Fundamentally, they have no connection to magical girls.
Ultimately, those Incubators only coveted the Personal Reality within their own hearts, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't turn Lu Ya into a magical girl.
"However, there's never just one way to achieve your dreams, right?"
Lu Ya smiled at her with an innocent and adorable expression.
She always smiled so pure and innocently, so kind that you felt she was naturally your childhood sweetheart who lived next door.
When a girl is too beautiful, she often exudes a sharp and distant aura.
Both Bingtang and Shion generally give people a sense of unapproachability.
Even someone as charming and sociable as Bingtang can still find it difficult to maintain a distant relationship with others.
But Lu Ya was different; with every smile and frown, it felt as if it wouldn't matter if someone confessed their feelings to her.
No matter what you say, you won't be disliked.
They can easily become close friends who can talk about anything. Their approachability and trustworthy charm are something that even the most beautiful girl can't match.
Therefore, many villagers gradually accepted Lu Ya Lu Ya and became close to her.
Even when invited to visit their high-rise apartment, they would never refuse.
At night, if you go outside the basement of the high-rise building, you can see Lu Ya in the laboratory, trying out various potions with great seriousness. Occasionally, the founder of the Witch Association will stand next to her.
The discussion was casual, focusing on the potion's effects, the villagers' reactions, and the properties of the raw materials.
Shion watched quietly from outside the window.
The Freeze time can be stirred up with force, but it will eventually return to the moment it was Freeze.
She watched as the experiment improved step by step, until it began to resemble the witch surgery she had participated in at the Witch Association.
Once, after watching for a long time, Lu Ya, who was concentrating on preparing medicine for the villagers, suddenly looked up and turned to look at her.
Her face was splattered with blood, and she held the dissection and injection tools in her hands, yet she still wore that endearing, innocent smile, as if it could conceal the blood on her face.
"Oh, do you want to try it too?"
In the end, Shion ignored her and simply turned and left.
Holding the tools, Lu Ya scratched her head and could only let out a sullen hum.
"Fine, if you're not coming."
Chongxu was expanding day by day as planned, but most of the experiments were not going smoothly, and the number of villagers was decreasing day by day.
The village has also been gradually modernized, becoming larger, more luxurious, and more orderly.
More and more magical girls are coming and going, and so are more and more Calamity Beast.
Lu Ya is surrounded by more and more companions.
Lu Ya was also conducting experiments on herself, with some successes and some failures.
He grew weaker day by day, his body began to gradually collapse, he stopped making videos for himself, stopped going out, and hardly ever spoke to Shion.
But the experiment itself continued.
Her companions also began to notice the problem, and people started checking her basement, subtly probing for answers.
The disappearance of the Calamity Beast, the deaths and decrease in the number of villagers, and the strange phenomena and bloody smell in the high-rise building.
Until one day, everything was exposed, all the magical girls showed disgust, and even the president of the Witch Association disappeared.
"You're so disappointing, Lu Ya!"
Why would you do something like this—we trusted you so much?
"We clearly agreed to use branches from the World Tree to build a new kingdom for magical girls—"
The weakened Lu Ya remained silent, only bowing her head and offering a gentle apology.
The magical girls initially intended to drag her down to the basement, but seeing that Lu Ya was unwell, some of them couldn't bear it and carried her on their backs.
When the door below was opened and everyone entered the laboratory, a deathly silence fell over them.
There were many remains of Calamity Beast, and of course, many human remains, along with soaked entrails and various other organs.
A scene that resembled hell.
However, Shion wasn't too surprised.
When I saw Lu Ya holding the internal organs soaked in formaldehyde, I had pretty much expected it.
Sooner or later, they will lose their reverence; sooner or later, they will begin to indulge; sooner or later, they will become twisted and dark.
Some things, once opened up, have Infinity possibilities, and ultimately depend on the guidance of the environment.
Of course, the most important thing is your own choice.
Because nothing can be entirely blamed on one's living environment or one's family of origin.
The magical girls were both angry and furious, but looking at the weak Lu Ya, who was on the verge of death, everyone could see it.
She had only a day or two to live.
No one laid a hand on her, yet no one dared to leave her there unattended.
I didn't want to kill a girl who was already going to die, but I also didn't want to give her any chance to escape and go out to do bad things.
Until Shion walked in.
As he walked in, the girl tilted her head slightly and glanced at him.
Even as she lay weakly in bed, her bright eyes still radiated a captivating warmth and vitality.
Then he began to speak.
" Shion, I left behind an AI. The Complete Witch's experiment is almost finished—"
"I don't think I look bad right now—will he dislike me if I see him like this?"
"Time, time, if it were him—"
"Everything can be taken except the heart, except the heart—"
The magical girls' multicolored pupils were fixed on the two of them.
Shion ignored everyone, simply collecting all the tools Lu Ya had used before, walking up to her, and interrupting her murmurs, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Even as she faced death, the girl maintained a sweet smile, saying, "Love is the chaos outside of order."
It was as if it were an answer to Shion, or perhaps a message addressed to the magical girls.
However, this only made the magical girl even angrier.
"Isn't this too much chaos?"
Shion replied on behalf of the magical girls.
Then, Shion flicked the syringe she had picked up, which was filled with anesthetic. Just as she was about to give Lu Ya the injection, Lu Ya shook her head, "No need, no need, that's better."
He nodded and then picked up the scalpel.
When the sharp blade pierced his shoulder, his already weakened body tensed up.
Her fingers gripped the bed frame tightly, her legs under her skirt curled up and then straightened. She arched her back slightly, her breathing rapid.
Despite her biting her lip, the girl still wore a smile, though pain welled up in her eyes.
"So, this is what it feels like."
Amidst his heavy breathing, the murmurs that escaped his lips sounded like expressions of joy.
However, as the blade was pulled down, the taut muscles seemed to possess a magical power, firmly gripping the scalpel.
The magical girls behind her shuddered, and some of them looked at Lu Ya with furrowed brows.
"Relax."
The girl unconsciously relaxed.
The intense pain rendered her speechless.
When the scalpel sliced through her chest and opened her breast, the girl collapsed completely onto the operating table.
He reached out to touch her heart, but Lu Ya grabbed his hand tightly.
Like a final burst of energy before death, his dark pupils stared at Shion with a hint of danger. "I said, this is not allowed."
The other magical girls also came closer.
Although it was to punish a sinner, the magical girls' kindness prevented them from ignoring Lu Ya's dying request.
"Let's forget about the heart."
"Don't torture people."
"You seem to have a good relationship with Lu Ya? You weren't involved in the experiment, were you?"
Stop!
Amidst the cacophony of voices, only Lu Ya and Shion remained silent.
Shion stared at her quietly for a long time.
The transformation was suddenly canceled.
The basement fell silent.
Compared to the other stunned magical girls, Lu Ya, who had always been indifferent to emotions, reacted the most intensely!
His pupils, which had begun to dilate, widened, and his dull eyes even regained their color.
The body, which was gradually losing its vitality, actually began to move.
Then came helplessness, like a child who had made a mistake, constantly shrinking back towards the operating table.
She wanted to run away from him.
"No, I'm not like that—"
Don't look at me!
I want to deny who I am now.
I never intended for myself to meet him in this state; it was clearly impossible for us to meet.
What I want him to see is a more past, cleaner version of myself.
However, Jiang Si simply held her down.
Then, amidst the gasps of the magical girls, he reached into her chest cavity.
Lu Ya fell silent instantly.
The magical girls grabbed Jiang Si, but found they couldn't budge her!
Jiang Si, who remained motionless, simply asked, "This is my heart, why is it being transplanted?"
There was no reason for Lu Ya to undergo a transplant; she didn't have heart disease, and there was also the risk of rejection.
"Because it's too cold—"
The girl responded softly, her voice trembling with a hint of a sob, "It was so cold, so cold, in that jar full of water—"
As he said this, he took Jiang Si's hand, and in that hand, he grasped her beating heart.
Thick, sticky blood covered their hands.
"This will warm you up, won't it? It's very warm, isn't it?"
"Um."
It was warm to the touch.
What about the other parts?
"I... I didn't move," Lu Ya replied obediently.
"Did you eat it?"
The operating room was quiet except for the sound of rapid breathing.
The magical girls stared blankly at the two lunatics, unsure of what to do.
The ripples that had spread across time quickly subsided, and soon, Lu Ya's expression turned bewildered.
Because when Jiang Si pulled the heart out little by little, what was wrapped around it was not blood vessels.
Instead, it is a dense network of wires and various dirty components that support the heart.
Lu Ya then breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across her face, "I told you, it wasn't me, I am, the Second-Generation Lu Ya AI ----"
The eyes didn't look like those of a dead person; they looked like those of a newborn baby, bright and lively as they gazed at Jiang Si.
Her lips trembled slightly, the unspoken words echoing in her already captivated heart.
Nobody knows.
Whenever I tell you I love you, I am a rotten fruit.
I only dared to show you the half that wasn't broken.
Desperately trying to hide, desperately trying to hide.
Even if the other half were completely removed, you would never be able to see it.
My rotting appearance----
"What you saw wasn't done by Lu Ya."
Jiang Si silently stared at the heart in his hand. The magical girl beside him gently tugged at his arm, urging him to put it down.
It bears the imprint of the heart of the Dao Fruit, and even traces of branches from the World Tree.
Jiang Si gazed into Lu Ya's pupils and slowly said, " The Dao Fruit is actually only one step away from the Great Fruit."
Amidst the bewilderment of the magical girls, only Lu Ya understood the joke. With a soft chuckle, she squeezed her chest and laughed heartily amidst the splattering blood.
Someone let out a short, startled cry.
The other magical girls looked at Jiang Si, their gazes gradually turning to horror and disgust, and many of them took out their wands.
Countless magical lights flashed, threatening to engulf Jiang Si and Lu Ya!
Jiang Si didn't even look at it, she just took a bite.
He swallowed the Dao Fruit that belonged to him and had been nurtured by Lu Ya!
Amidst the enormous and violent explosion and impact.
The Freeze time has finally begun to flow!
