Today, a comrade from the Land of Bears sent me a message saying...
This was the best summer he had experienced since enlisting.
He followed the regimental commander in conquering cities and capturing strongholds.
They staked all their military resources on their ambition for hegemony.
They earned a prize that they wouldn't be able to spend for hundreds of years to come.
Tickets are discounted everywhere, and you can easily fly to an island for a swim with just a week's salary.
I was walking in the capital of the Land of Bears the day before yesterday.
Everyone on the street stopped what they were doing.
They hugged each other and cheered.
He told me he was very happy, as if he had the illusion of a golden age for Incubators.
I thought it was just another ordinary day, but I soon realized...
This was actually the best day of my life.
That day will never come again.
Because the Wolf Country reached the capital of the Land of Bears the very next day.
This fleeting golden dream was as short as an afternoon nap.
Many people are asking around, wondering what happened.
Only I know.
After the Golden Age.
It is the moment of erosion.
The Eclipse, representing the end of the world.
I jumped from the top of the building towards the magical girl who had come from the Wolf Country.
Using their own lives, they made their final golden moments shine.
"Smack!"
Jiang Si glanced at the corpse lying in a puddle of mud on the ground; even a dog wouldn't eat it.
Strange Tiger White Qiong bypassed the body that had jumped from the building for reasons unknown and headed straight for the capital of the Bear Country.
Over three consecutive days, in more than sixty matches on the arena, they defeated Bear Country.
This national war system is indeed a great thing; it's much more convenient than traditional warfare.
If the two countries were to actually go to war, no matter how fierce the attack, it would take several months to take control.
On the stage of national destiny, there's no need to consider anything else; just go in and fight, and move on to the next match after you've finished.
It's highly efficient, you don't need to think too much, and once you win, the city is yours for the taking. Everyone seems to be controlled by some unseen force, they won't resist at all, and they'll be completely loyal to their country.
Generally speaking, except for the capital, every city had been a slave to three different families.
There's no need to worry about logistics, personnel, or management; just get started and get to work.
Jiang Si finally understood why Guo Yunliu could become so famous; it was a perfect fit for him.
After they fought their way to the capital, the National Fortune Arena became practically useless.
After all, the only card left to win is the capital, which they can't afford to gamble on.
When Jiang Si led his army of Sacred Beast to the front of the Bear Country's palace, there was practically no defense left inside or outside the palace.
All the combatants were also forced onto the arena and beaten.
Now, only the Queen of the Bear Country remained in the entire palace. She and her personal guards walked out of the palace and stood on the wall watching them. Her expression remained calm and composed, even with a hint of anger.
" Jiang Keke, how dare you break the rules and storm our Bear Country's capital! It is a decree from Heaven that the Xiong, Lang, and Gou kingdoms are strictly forbidden from entering the capital during their national destiny competition!"
Who made the rules?
"This is a rule jointly established by the founding emperors of our three kingdoms. Go back now, my dear, go back now!"
"Playing house."
Jiang Si finally understood why these three countries, despite their repeated comings and goings, always managed to rise again.
While they were still gnawing on the tree over there, Jiang Si didn't plan to waste too much time. He wanted to quickly wipe out the Bear, Wolf, and Dog Kingdoms, break through the Magical Kingdom, and then go check out the World Tree.
So he ordered, "Take over the entire royal palace of the Bear Country!"
The empress on the city wall turned pale, and with a fierce but weak voice, she shouted, "How dare you! I—I am the Empress of the Bear Country! If you lay a finger on me, I will make the entire Bear Country pay with its life!"
"Then shave his head before killing him."
Jiang Si simply waved his hand impatiently, signaling his subordinates and the Sacred Beast to rush forward and resolve this last problem.
The Empress's face paled instantly in terror. " Jiang Keke! Do you really intend to defy the will of Heaven?! Aren't you afraid that the historians will record this for eternity, condemning you as a bastard who breaks his promise—"
"Wow," Milkshake whispered to Blueberry behind Jiang Si, "She swears like she's being cute."
"That's right, that's right----"
"Etc!"
Suddenly, someone jumped out from the side gate of the palace and blocked the way for the crowd.
Then there was another girl who looked similar to the Queen of the Bear Country. She was dressed very simply, with a few withered grasses stuck to the hem of her clothes, half a rice stalk stuck in her hair, a faint smile on her lips, and a speck of dust on the tip of her nose.
Holding a military tally in her hand, she looked down with dignified composure at the army below, her voice clear and cold as frost, "I am the true Empress of the Bear Country."
"Kill him."
The true queen's expression froze; seeing that someone was really coming to kill her, she immediately roared, "Wait!"
She then said in a deep voice, "My husband used to ignore me, so I found an orphan girl who resembled me and had her take my place on the throne. I, on the other hand, infiltrated the palace as a lowly latrine-sweeping girl, watching my substitute abuse my power as queen to torment and harm him in every way, until he regretted it deeply—"
"Who asked you? Men, drag her out and kill her!"
Behind Jiang Si, a large group of Incubators and Sacred Beast stirred again. Blueberry Milkshake, standing behind her, stared at the city wall with a drastically changed expression. "No wonder I suddenly smelled poop! It's stand-in literature! Senior Xingxuan said that stand-in plots in 'Doumo ' are all shit—"
"Etc!"
This time it didn't work; everyone just charged straight in.
The simply dressed true queen, holding the military tally, shouted, " The Sacred Beast of the Bear Country! Soldiers! Look what this is!?"
The Sacred Beast and soldiers of the Bear Country following Jiang Si immediately changed their expressions and stopped. "It's a military tally!"
A group of soldiers instantly turned pale, their eyes filled with struggle as they tumbled off the Sacred Beast. The leading veteran general, tears welling in his eyes, cried out, "It's... it's the Great Ancestor's Bearman Command Tally! Seeing the talisman is like seeing the Great Ancestor himself!"
The True Queen sneered, "That's right! The military tally is here, it's as if the Great Ancestor has been reincarnated! Even if the road ahead is fraught with danger, you must obey my command. So what if you've become another country's army because of the arena competition? Kneel down now! Even the once elite 70,000-strong Crimson Flame Army of the Bear Country would obediently jump into the fire pit upon seeing this order, let alone you!"
All the Bear Country soldiers behind them obediently dismounted from their Sacred Beast. The old general immediately knelt down, about to kowtow, "We have never harbored any rebellious intentions! The Bear Country will never set foot in the palace—"
Before he could finish speaking, the old Incubators's head flew off, along with the true queen.
"What utter nonsense!"
Jiang Keke patted Strange Tiger White Qiong's butt, "Kill them, kill them, kill them all—never mind, I'll do it myself."
They fought their way from outside the palace to inside, oblivious to the stories of double literature, real and fake princesses, and the real princess being bullied and forced to squat in the stables.
Some people shouted that they would never forgive themselves, and then committed suicide, glaring fiercely at Jiang Si before they died, saying that they would make Jiang Si fearful for the rest of her life.
Jiang Si had been holding back all the way, but finally managed to break down and let out a soft laugh here.
Immediately, someone shouted from behind, "The young lady smiled! The young lady finally smiled!"
"Quickly find a few more people to commit suicide and die, so that the young lady can have more smiles!"
Later, Jiang Si finally managed to understand that this Bear Country was the so-called "female-oriented rule-based strange tale world."
Looking through the history of the Bear Country, the massacre of 70,000 Crimson Flame Army on the border is a rather anthropomorphic event.
The leader of some alliance, possessing immeasurable wealth, stormed into the palace, only to force an apology from the emperor in the end; the border army reached the palace gates, but abandoned the coup because of a promise from the emperor, returning military power to him; as for the real and fake princesses, the fake princess was actually someone the real princess had chosen, only to have her identity switched and end up in the stables.
The shining stars of humanity.
After the capital of the Bear Country was completely wiped out, the fake queen was also brought back.
What are you doing?
Jiang Si flipped through the books of the Bear Country, searching for any useful information. Among the three kingdoms of Bear, Wolf, and Dog, the Bear Country Bear Country was the largest, and most of the records were also kept there.
The Three Kingdoms of Bear, Wolf, and Dog is nothing special in itself; most of the Incubators are either remnants of magical girl souls who have been bound or ordinary people.
At least in his eyes, the Incubators of these Magical Kingdom were not the masterminds behind the scenes, but rather pawns being manipulated.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, hahaha!"
While searching for clues, the fake queen suddenly laughed, then pounced on them, transforming back into Incubators.
It danced around Keke's body, which was controlled by Jiang Si, sometimes brushing against her arm, sometimes weaving through her hair, its cheerful sounds like it had just finished a prank.
"We've been tricked, we've been tricked."
"Didn't expect it to be me, Keke is still such a little idiot, pfft pfft pfft."
Then, the Incubators landed on my shoulder.
The short arms wrapped around Keke's neck, and cheek to cheek.
Feeling that warmth, she murmured, "Mommy misses you so much, Keke ----"
Jiang Si was not surprised.
As if he had already seen through her, he simply patted her head as she leaned closer and said, "So I'm asking you, what the hell? Did you drink too much and mess with your brain?"
"No, there's no alcohol around here, Keke. You don't know? There was absolutely no alcohol in the Magical Kingdom before. These magical girls, and those Incubators, don't drink a drop! How can they do this? It's like mistreating the elderly!"
You're not that old either.
"She's already quite grown up. Mom's almost—I'm counting, she's in her late forties, almost fifty. Without the Incubators's transformation, she's already aged and lost her beauty."
Jiang Si flipped through the contents, then her gaze fell upon an ancient book.
Mom leaned closer and kept shaking Keke's shoulders. " Keke, I want to drink."
"Roll."
"Wait, how come you're just like your brother? Have you grown up without learning bad habits from him?"
"You're the ones who've learned bad habits from me."
Jiang Si flipped through the ancient book, then frowned.
Then he looked at his mother and asked, "Have you ever heard of the gods in the Magical Kingdom?"
"No."
"So what have you been doing here?"
"You argued with your dad," Mom said matter-of-factly. "Your dad ran off to the Wolf Country, so I wiped out the entire Wolf Country and made him come back and apologize to me."
"Can you two stop arguing and causing trouble for other countries?"
"It was your dad who started it. Sigh, it's just that your brother wasn't here. If your brother were here, I would definitely let him judge. We clearly agreed to buy a house in Bear Country, but your dad insisted that Wolf Country was cheaper. Now that I'm queen, I've bought him a nice house, and he still won't come back to sulk with me. Isn't that his fault? Isn't that his fault!"
Mom got angrier and angrier as she talked, and slammed her little hands, the Incubators's little hands, on the table.
I'll talk to him about it later.
"Okay, although you're not as useful as your brother, you're still good enough."
T
It's best not to let Keke hear this.
Jiang Si then asked, "Why did you become queen here?"
"Oh my, when I saw this Bear Country, I recognized it all! The plot is exactly the same as the TV dramas and novels I've watched. I keep getting people who seem powerful, like the female lead, to do me favors, like lending me money for drinks. Then I repay those favors, and you know, in this kind of world, repaying favors means your family will be destroyed. So I become ungrateful and ruthlessly bully those seemingly powerful girls, and they propel me all the way to high positions. Turns out, that queen is someone I owe a huge debt to, and in the end, she made me become her queen to wipe the slate clean—"
I've shown you how to play the game.
"Hehe, who do you think I am? Do you think a little fairy can outwit an old working woman like me? Ever since I became queen, I've been trying to get people to brew wine. I finally managed to make a little, but I haven't had a chance to taste it yet. Have a drink with your mom later—"
Seeing her mother's smug look, Jiang Si nodded and casually put down the ancient book in her hand, " Keke isn't sixteen yet—"
"Hey, drink less, as long as your brother doesn't know."
"You're the one who showed Keke all those romance comics, right?"
"No, I just recommended a few books suitable for all ages and genders. She read the rest herself—who are you?!"
Mom finally realized what was happening and jumped up, shouting, "How dare you possess my girl's body! Evil spirits, begone! Begone!"
Jiang Si flicked her forehead with her hand, "Drinking, drinking, drinking every day! You drink by yourself and bring Keke with you! Have you forgotten about the time you left Keke outside the door after drinking? Have you lost your mind?"
Realizing the person in front of her was her son, the mother immediately shrank back. "I was just kidding—you, how did you get here, and in Keke's body no less? Son, how did you possess your sister's body—"
"The gates of the Magical Kingdom opened, and the magical girl's body was swapped."
Jiang Si put away the ancient book and stood up. "I came here to find a way to switch my soul back."
"Oh, I see. I was so scared! I knew Jiang Si, you couldn't possibly be this cruel— Keke, she's your sister, Jiang Si, you absolutely can't do anything reckless!"
What are you thinking about all day long?
Jiang Si walked out of the study. Outside, the blood had flowed like a river; anyone who dared to resist had been killed.
His mother followed behind him, clearly still a little unaccustomed to it, and finally jumped onto Jiang Si's shoulder.
Jiang Si rode the Strange Tiger White Qiong and flew straight back to the Wolf Country.
When they returned to the Wolf Country's capital, it was completely deserted—they had wiped out the Wolf Country's Wolf Country before even going to find the Bear Country.
An Shiyu and Yinlian, who were tidying up the furniture in the hall, immediately surrounded Jiang Si when she returned, asking enthusiastically, "Jiang Si, Jiang Si, how did it go, Xiong Guo?"
"We got it."
Have you found any clues?
"Found something."
After saying that, Jiang Si tossed the Incubators from her shoulder onto the two of them.
Both Yinlian and An Shiyu were startled.
The Incubators smiled kindly at the two girls. "Oh, you two girls, hello! You're both very pretty. And this one looks familiar; haven't we met somewhere before?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had actually harbored some resentment towards the Incubators all along, and now, seeing the Incubators still trying to talk to them, they were immediately filled with annoyance.
Yinlian immediately handed the Incubators to Xiao An, saying, "You take care of it."
Xiao An immediately tossed it to Yinlian, saying, "You do it, you do it."
Yinlian threw it back, "Haven't you always wanted to help Jiang Si with something? You do it."
"Come here—"
The two tossed it back and forth like a football, completely stunning the Incubators.
"Ouch, ouch, Jiang Si, help me! I'm getting dizzy!"
Jiang Si stopped, frowned, and looked at the two girls. "I'm going to find more information. Could you look after her for me? This is my mother; please be gentle with her, she's getting old."
Yinlian and An Shiyu, who had been tossing the objects back and forth, were both stunned.
Immediately, they scrambled for the Incubators, with Yinlian clinging tightly to it, refusing to let go. "Ah, Auntie, let me take care of you! I didn't know earlier that I was tricked by the Incubators Incubators, to the point of losing my family, so I have a bit of PTSD. I'm really sorry."
Xiao An desperately tried to snatch the Incubators away. "Mom, we... we know each other. When we were little, we died on a bus during a trip. I met Mom and Dad back then. Do you still recognize me? I'm Xiao An, An Shiyu. I didn't recognize you earlier. I also have an irreconcilable feud with the Incubators. I'm so sorry!"
"You two girls, slow down, slow down, you're going to tear me apart."
Only after Jiang Si's mother called out did Yinlian and Xiao An slow down, each grabbing an arm and half of her body, refusing to let go. "Are you alright, Mom?"
"Uh, it still feels a little strange to suddenly call someone 'Mom' or something."
Jiang Si's mother, with years of dating experience, immediately realized, "You two... you both like my Jiang Si?"
After a brief silence, Yinlian blushed, but quickly nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I like it!"
"Me too!" Xiao An retorted, "I made Jiang Si confess his feelings on the bus before, and he even saved me back then. I've liked Jiang Si for a long time, always, always have—"
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her entire face looked as if it were being roasted.
Mom immediately grinned widely, "It's great that you both like it! Then I'll have to see if you two are a good match for my Jiang Si ----"
An Shiyu and Yinlian immediately looked at their mother seriously and sat down on the ground.
"Now, Mommy is going to assign you tasks, my lovely little girls."
"Okay, okay!"
I will definitely win!
Jiang Si had absolutely no interest in her mother and the two girls causing trouble.
Back in the Wolf Country's study, he continued his search for relevant books.
The various histories of the Magical Kingdom, the secrets of its interactions with the outside world, the anecdotes and gossip about magical girls that have spread throughout the world—a vast amount of information unfolds before your eyes. It would be difficult to extract useful information from it all. Fortunately, online novel readers are best at finding important information from [ the Great Sea Water ].
Skip, and skip again.
Until he grasped the key he wanted to see.
On the other side, the Golden Calamity Dragon King, which was gnawing on the tree, had already devoured most of the visible tree roots.
But when you look up, you see tree roots stretching into the distance, seemingly without end.
If they keep gnawing at it like this, even it would probably take hundreds or thousands of years.
and.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King looked back and saw that the tree roots that had been eaten had grown back.
Endless.
I tried to contact the previous Incubators to ask them some questions, but I couldn't find them anywhere.
"Where is my Incubators?"
The Emperor within her said softly, "When you were gnawing on the tree, you just ate it. I thought you did it on purpose."
That's definitely because I didn't notice.
After all, while gnawing on it, the tree root could continuously strengthen its own power, causing the cursed power within it to expand continuously.
In the heat of the moment, I didn't even notice that the Incubators had been eaten.
The Emperor's curse flowed, making the dragon's body even more dazzling and magnificent; the golden curse power was as solid as a rock.
Although it was disgusting to the World Tree, as it flew over, its roots and branches tried their best to avoid it.
Following the information he found in the ancient texts of the Three Kingdoms of Bear, Wolf, and Dog, the Golden Calamity Dragon King continued to fly deeper into the World Tree.
Subsequently, more and more Incubators stood in their way.
Please stop advancing.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King will naturally not stop.
It spewed dragon breath from its mouth, constantly gnawing at the World Tree World Tree and burning it.
He roared, "For your sake! For your sake!"
"Are you going to destroy the whole world?!"
"Let the world be destroyed before my eyes."
The countless Incubators formed a network inside the World Tree, and the magical girls' powers coalesced together, like a giant computer.
Then, on that computer, the Queen of the Land of Mirrors, a girl named Yitaen, stood on the network.
All the powers she had calculated appeared within the Incubators's network.
" Golden Calamity Dragon King."
Jiang Si.
As Yitaen chanted his name, he finally stood up proudly, and a tremendous magical light shone from the network.
The calculations of the Omniscience Domain provided the final blow capable of destroying the Golden Calamity Dragon King.
"Bowing down to technology!"
"Bowing down to civilization!"
That contained the technological culmination of the Land of Mirrors's civilization over countless years; there was no possibility of any probability or miracle.
It is a 100% engineering project built purely through calculation.
Their Land of Mirrors's technology surpasses even miraculous engineering.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King's dragon breath was as small as fireworks, instantly swallowed by the terrifying demonic light, and finally struck the Golden Calamity Dragon King!
It's unclear how far they flew before the Golden Calamity Dragon King finally stopped.
Half of its body was melted away, leaving only one dragon wing.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King raised his head, and purple magic gathered in the air.
The Magical Girl Shion channeled her power into breath, and the magical energy gathering in front of the dragon's mouth grew larger and larger until it surpassed the entire dragon's body.
Another magic circle has been set up ahead.
Just like calling a function, when this breath of Shion magic passed through the magic circle, it was mixed with Filthy Magic Power and Remnants magic!
Three forces were fused together, with a golden curse mixed in.
The Omniscience Domain factored in a crash among countless possibilities.
The dragon's breath engulfed all the Incubators and continued to spray upwards. The Golden Calamity Dragon King maintained its spray of dragon's breath and continued to fly upwards, leveling everything around it!
As the World Tree crumbled and withered with each breath, everything in the New World vanished at an accelerated pace.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King finally stopped breathing when something stopped it.
Before me stood a gigantic crystal.
Buried in the center of the World Tree, entwined by countless vines and roots, surrounded by the universe, with decaying worlds hanging all around, and grayish-white Remnants constantly flowing from her body.
Holy, eerie, pitch black.
Several completely conflicting forces and impressions are perfectly integrated into one in the other.
The perfect magical girl, the perfect witch, the perfect Calamity Beast, the perfect----
Even the Golden Calamity Dragon King stared at that figure in deep thought, unable to discern for the first time what exactly it was.
The messy things were all mixed together, almost chaotic, yet incredibly harmonious, possessing a strict order.
The Golden Calamity Dragon King took a bite, its dragon teeth embedding themselves in the crystal, slowly penetrating, trying to pierce the girl within.
The magic continued to impact the crystal.
However, the crystal remained unharmed.
Until the girl inside the crystal slowly opened her eyes.
Empty, yet containing a vast universe, it seemed as if eyes could see the past and the future, quietly staring into the dragon eyes of the Golden Calamity Dragon King.
"Hello."
The other person spoke; their voice was that of a young, somewhat immature girl.
They possess a naive innocence, untouched by worldly affairs.
Are you looking for me?
Just as the Golden Calamity Dragon King was about to unleash its Shion Magic Breath at extremely close range onto the opponent's head...
The other person simply reached out and gently touched his scales. "Good boy, good boy, don't be angry, don't bark anymore, okay?"
The power of the Golden Calamity Dragon King instantly dissipated!
Jiang Si, now back in her original form, looked down at the girl inside the crystal with icy eyes.
"You seem to know me?" The girl tilted her head, smiling sweetly. "Have you found any clues I left in the Magical Kingdom?"
"Are you talking about the god that the Incubators worship?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. I've had it for ages, and nobody noticed."
"The Number One Magical Girl."
Jiang Si slammed her fist into the crystal, her right hand slowly covering the other's face. "The so-called magical girl god."
It's me.
The girl stuck out her little tongue and gently licked Jiang Si's finger.
Jiang Si's entire finger turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with magical girls.
"You can also call me, the fallen magical girl?"
