Finally, I defeated a Harry Potter fan offline.
Throughout her long online career, the Harry Potter fans' favorite thing to say was, "If you're so capable, come offline!"
My name is A Truckload of Bread Man, and I am you.
In reality, Jiang Si was naturally happy to do things offline; his verbal skills were far inferior to his practical skills.
But every time he arrived at the agreed-upon location, he was alone.
The so-called "real offline" thing is just tricking him into going to unfamiliar cities and streets, spending a lot of money to wander around like a fool, constantly sending private messages to ask if he has arrived yet, and pretending to be coming soon while saying he'll be here soon.
Then they waited until evening, but it still didn't come.
Some people laughed at him for Return to Truth organizing an offline event, while others were even more shameless, directly accusing him of not going and being a coward who stood them up.
Therefore, Jiang Si will never forgive any Harry Potter fan.
This group of people are of low quality, full of lies, and don't even read books carefully. They become cowardly when it comes to debating scriptures, unable to come up with any clear arguments, and they like to throw tantrums and cheat. They will either turn around and call on their friends to engage in a war of words, and if they can't win the debate, they resort to foul language.
After a dozen or so rounds of rebuttals to the harassment, they'll turn around and label you as a bored, unemployed bum, easily slapping on labels like "college graduate" and "poor dog."
Instead of convincing the other party with his quotations, he ended up revealing his own impoverished and unfortunate life.
Yarrow is slightly better, but it still has all the bad habits of a Harry Potter fan.
Fortunately, there are no curses to be trodden ahead, but the great path of online literature lies ahead!
Jiang Si, a writer of countless online novels, has lived a life of boundless and inconceivable potential. His grand aspirations are numerous, but one of his most cherished desires is to truly experience life as a Harry Potter fan.
The Yarrow, having strayed from its path, willingly dedicates itself to fulfilling its grand ambition.
This achievement, far surpassing that of other true disciples, was enough to make Jiang Si proud of her, not to mention her Alternative Dao Attainment to enlightenment, making her even more extraordinary.
The posthumous title "[ Harry Potter Apex Immortal ]" is acceptable.
The pinnacle of Harry Potter.
In short, this is a good lesson. Hopefully, in her next life she'll read online novels honestly and not breathe out her breath like that.
Shion glanced back at her Other Shore Plateau.
This idea had been in her mind from the very first day she met Chongxu.
The Chongxu Explosion was adapted into a web novel titled "PUBG".
Although it later became the place of ascension for the Azure Cloud Sect - after ascension, one could immediately return to school without delaying the disciples' lives.
But something just didn't feel right; I hadn't been able to fully utilize the potential of Chongxu.
Now that it has become the Other Shore Plateau, it finally meets my expectations.
That's exactly how it should be.
Hogwarts is a side path; the Anomaly Plateau is the main road.
Then we can use this difference to thoroughly suppress Yarrow, make her realize her ignorance and the gap in skill, and then teach her a good lesson.
How does it feel to kill your own apprentice?
"Good."
Even with the help of the Yarrow, it was clearly impossible to actually escape Shion's pursuit.
The whole world was already in her grasp; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she had nowhere to retreat.
So when Shion approached, Prince Itaen stepped forward.
Are there many stories of masters and disciples killing each other in the Immortal Realm of cultivation?
"Nature."
Since ancient times, it has been natural for masters to betray their disciples and for disciples to be wary of their masters.
Unfortunately, despite calling herself the Yao Lao, she had no one Han Feng to kill.
The disciples were either rebellious or indifferent, but none of them betrayed and murdered their master like Han Feng.
However, based on my years of teaching, if the true disciples were to take action, they would most likely not leave behind a wisp of their remnant soul to seek out Flame Emperor Yan and turn the tide.
After all, everyone knows their own methods and has seen the Doumo Continent; they understand the principle that if you don't nip the problem in the bud, it will grow back in the spring.
While pondering who among the true disciples could shoulder this great responsibility, Shion walked towards the Holy Church.
"What did you turn Chongxu into?"
Shion simply stood with her hands behind her back, answering a completely different question, "Does the Prince know about the changes in cultivation?"
"What are you posting now—hmm?" The Prince frowned, about to let out a cold laugh, when he heard the system's voice.
[It is recommended that you follow the system's instructions at this moment to increase Shion's affection for the Prince.]
The Prince straightened his expression. "I don't know the details."
"Cultivation allows one to be both large and small, to ascend and to conceal; when large, one can stir up clouds and mist; when small, one can hide and conceal one's form; when ascending, one can soar through the universe; when concealing, one can lurk within mountains—uh—"
Shion paused suddenly as she spoke, then pointed to Chongxu, "----In short, Prince, having traveled far and wide and thoroughly read all 1671 works of my ancestors in Azure Cloud, you must know the new name of this realm. Please point it out."
The Prince waited a moment, as if listening to someone's advice, before replying, "The wonder of Kunxu Chongxu complete, and its name is fitting."
Shion sneered, quite disdainfully. "Capital is but a withered bone; I have already refined it in an instant!"
" Thriller Paradise, San Tian Liang Jue, numerous celebrities, Infinity expanse—can it be named?"
"While 'Infinity' is good, it still falls short of the original's longevity; working sporadically, making videos full-time, and writing novels with slow updates, cannot be called 'good'."
Who the hell knows who this is?!
There is a sect called Biyang----
"The immortal sect is under construction; it's not permissible."
There is a realm called Mountain and Sea----
"The mountains and seas may change; it is unacceptable."
"What about realms like the God Realm, the Hongmeng Space, and the Great Thousand World?"
"Too common, not trendy enough, not worth mentioning!"
The Prince, somewhat exhausted, asked, "So what name did you choose? What were the criteria?"
"The pinnacle of cultivation is unparalleled in the world, unique in all, possessing the potential to encompass the universe and the power to absorb the ancient past."
As she spoke, Shion pointed to the heavily modified Chongxu and said, "Among all online novels today, only ' Shrouding the Heavens ' is the best."
"Therefore it is called the plateau. The Other Shore, the plateau."
You're insane!
After speaking, Shion stepped towards the Holy Church again, but this time the Prince blocked her way.
"So, isn't that enough?"
Shion tilted her head, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "What?"
"Having killed so many people from Chongxu, and then killed Yarrow, isn't that enough?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Since I intend to manage this place, it naturally concerns me."
Shion looked at her indifferently, and continued walking towards the Holy Church.
Prince Itaen remained silent, standing in front of her.
Seeing Shion raise her hand, the Prince took a deep breath.
The Void Mirror and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar both appeared above her head.
The palm strike aimed at his head was forcefully blocked by the Void Mirror!
Blood trickled from the Prince's lips, yet his expression remained arrogant as he gazed at Shion. "You've become weaker, Shion."
Every blow I delivered when I fought myself back then was stronger than the one I deliver now.
Was she holding back? Or was it that the Yarrow's imitation of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar's seal limited her to this level of power?
Even at the height of Shion power, Yitaen was never afraid of Shion.
There is no reason for us to back down now.
So she took another step forward, and with the support of two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, her aura rose to its limit.
It's not even a fraction as good Shion!
In this vast universe, two figures are reflected in the ancient wilderness!
"Come on, kill me!"
She still doesn't understand why he let her go back then.
Especially after witnessing Shion mercilessly kill Yarrow, this incident made her even more certain.
Forgiving myself back then wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
That's why it's even more important to stand in front of Shion.
Either kill me.
Either tell me.
Why don't you kill me?
What kind of existence do I look like in your eyes?
To you, what am I really?
Grabbing the Void Mirror, the Prince unleashed a galaxy of surging waves, crashing it down upon Shion!
Even using only physical means, the power of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon is still terrifying!
Just as the Prince closed his eyes, awaiting the impact, even the excruciating pain...
The person in front of her, Shion, actually took a step back.
The Void Mirror swept across the void, eventually being stepped on by Shion.
Without a second thought, Yitaen lifted it up and smashed it again!
Thinking that it wouldn't matter even if the Void Mirror collapsed, Shion unexpectedly withdrew her right foot again and took two steps back.
"Retreat?! Fight me!"
Shion ignored the Prince, only staring at the Void Mirror and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar in her hand, "I've already shattered the Void Mirror with my bare hands—there are actually two Void Mirror?"
The Prince had just brandished the Void Mirror, though he had used magic converted from the power of Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
He was already panting heavily, half-squatting, but still maintained his arrogant and noble sneer, "For the Land of Mirrors, as long as we can manufacture it, mass production is only a matter of time, it's just a matter of cost."
"Where did the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar come from?"
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Are we going to fight or not?!"
Shion had given Ruoyun and the others from the Holy Church several ideas for Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
However, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar was something she herself had never imagined could succeed.
Seeing it now, I'm naturally quite surprised.
The Holy Church's power was greater than he had imagined.
Seeing the Prince Itaen, who was full of fighting spirit, Shion surprisingly gave way.
"I won't fight."
That originally inflated aura, enough to rival Shion's, vanished in an instant like a punctured ball.
"Why?"
I don't want to kill you.
The Prince stood there, looking somewhat flustered and at a loss for what to do for the first time.
Although I had imagined some things in my mind and prepared myself mentally for them.
However, what you guess and what the other person says are two different things.
Once your guess is confirmed, you will naturally feel that your speculations along this path are correct.
Why not fight yourself? Why don't you want to kill yourself?
Because I am special.
For her.
Why is it special?
Because she loves herself----
Thinking of this, the Prince took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his emotions.
It hasn't come to that yet.
I was overthinking things.
Idiot, delusional! Prince of a fallen kingdom actually harbors such fantasies about the very people who destroyed his country. Useless, love-struck!
You shameless bastard, calm down!
" Yitaen."
"I am here!"
Then Yitaen slapped himself hard, suppressing his smile.
That feeling of happiness that could numb one's consciousness and fighting spirit was still firmly suppressed.
What are you so eager for, you idiot?
"Give me the Void Mirror and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar, and I can spare the Holy Church."
The Prince, having calmed down, patted his chest and raised his head. " The Holy Church is yours, what does it have to do with me? Why should I be threatened by you for this? Are you even thinking straight, Miss Shion?"
"Then..."
Shion thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you two chances."
What opportunity?
"Anything is fine."
"Who can understand that!"
After the commotion subsided, meteorites flew around, and in the distance, planets exploded.
The sun's flames leaped and then died out.
The two of them seemed oblivious to everything in this desolate environment.
Yitaen took a deep breath and finally tossed the Void Mirror and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar to Shion.
"Just this once."
Shion took the two flawless Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and stroked them with great affection.
"Grateful."
In reality, being sealed by the Yarrow was not that simple.
For her, while manipulating magic was nothing special, dealing with magical girls without magic would always be troublesome.
In other words, the current Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon is useful to her.
They can use magic that they can no longer use.
As we all know, the most fun a toy is when it comes in handy, not when it's just a dispensable accessory.
While Shion found it interesting and novel before, to be honest, she couldn't use most of its functions herself. At least she could cast magic on her own, and using the Void Mirror would only make things more complicated and even weaken her.
Forcing its use is like using a cool-looking piece of equipment in a game that has terrible stats.
It's not that it's unusable, but it just doesn't feel right.
In games, the good weapons are always ugly, and the cool ones are useless, unlike in web novels where style equals combat power—the cooler you are, the stronger you are.
"Are you really going to kill everyone?"
Having obtained what she wanted, Shion naturally had no intention of entering the Holy Church.
To put it bluntly, it was full of Remnants who weren't even magical girls, so she wasn't really interested in it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon was still useful, she wouldn't even bother to look at it.
I've already said that.
Having said that, he turned to leave.
But the Prince still walked a few steps beside her.
"Alright, but I doubt many people believed your explanations from that time in public."
It doesn't matter.
"Whether it's me or White Fox and the others, we're all guessing your real purpose. After all, everyone subconsciously feels that no one will tell the truth openly."
Shion did not respond, and the Prince followed her to the remnants of the headquarters.
There were many " Shion " surrounding that area.
The Prince looked down and then said, "You need to be careful. Neither the White Fox nor Keke knows your identity yet."
"I know." Shion tilted her head and glanced at her again. "Are you going to tell them?"
"Ha, why would I do that?"
The Prince looked at her with a cold smile, "What good will it do me? Or is this just a pointless threat? Are you underestimating the Mirror King's political intelligence?"
Shion felt that being able to talk about political intelligence proved that one's normal intelligence might be slightly lacking.
But she still respected this former king and ultimately didn't say it.
"Are you Prince or the Mirror King?"
"It depends on the context and my mood."
"So casual."
"After all, the Land of Mirrors..." the Prince paused, "Is gone now, so naturally it's up to me."
There was a brief silence.
The Prince couldn't help but speak first, "So, are you planning to tell them or not? And when do you plan to tell them?"
When she encounters Shion, she's always the one who loses her composure first; there's nothing that can be done about it.
What do you think?
"I think that since you intended to deceive them and keep it from them from the very beginning," Yitaen murmured in a daze, gazing at the sky filled with " Shion " below and the magical girl covered in wounds in the middle.
"Then let's keep them in the dark until the very end."
Shion remained silent, while the Prince continued, seemingly oblivious, "There's nothing wrong with knowing nothing. Being deceived can be a kind of happiness, don't you think?"
Yitaen's voice grew increasingly faint. Shion glanced to the side and saw that the Prince had indeed vanished, leaving only his last words.
"If I were them, I'd probably think this way."
"Of course, I'm only thinking from their perspective; it has nothing to do with me."
"It has nothing to do with me. As king, I must know the whole truth—"
When the New World collapsed, most areas were shattered.
The General Administration of Sport suffered the most severe damage.
Not only was it blown apart, but the destruction of " Shion " was everywhere, and the connection with the Magical Kingdom was severed.
Most of the magical girls were attacked by Shion, and their fates are unknown.
For example, An Shiyu and Yinlian, who had previously escaped to headquarters, disappeared in the chaos of that explosion.
Jiegeng looked at Iris, who was covered in wounds and kneeling on the Iris.
To protect the remaining headquarters and the connection between the Magical Kingdom and the merging of the two, this guy stayed here alone for three whole days.
Of course, Jiegeng didn't know exactly how much time had passed since the New World was destroyed.
Perhaps many more days have passed, or perhaps not even a single day has gone by.
It's generally very difficult to tell them apart.
Draw the bow and shoot the arrow.
The wound on his finger, caused by the bowstring, widened and dripped blood.
However, the remaining two " Shion " were pinned to the meteorite behind them.
Fortunately, these disciples were just New Sprout.
While I was still thinking, I turned around and found that a " Shion " had appeared behind me without me noticing.
As the purple dagger hurtled towards her eyes, Jiegeng grabbed the longbow with her other hand, intending to make it explode as well.
boom!
The " Shion " was as if it had been flattened, with most of its body smashed into the ground.
Beneath this area lies a sealed, static space.
It's the Mental Image Domain left behind by the Full Bloom magical girls from the headquarters. Once it's entered, even " Shion " will quiet down and lose its threat.
This is why the Iris has been able to stay here for so long.
However, this time, as soon as the sneak-attacking " Shion " was put into the cage, Iris immediately knelt on the ground and vomited blood.
His original blue demonic armor was already tattered, and now, with this vomiting of blood, he seemed to be at his last gasp.
"Can we hold on?"
"Who do you think you're talking to?" No matter how many times she asked, Iris simply retorted loudly and forcefully, "These mere clones think they can defeat me, Iris? Let Shion herself come!"
"Tch, if they really came, would you still be laughing?"
"Cough cough----"
Iris coughed a few times, pretending not to hear.
In fact, if Jiegeng hadn't come to her aid midway, she would have already started thinking about what pose to strike for the defeat CG.
"By the way, why are you the only one who came to receive the true teachings?"
"True disciples rarely join forces. The style of the Azure Cloud Sect's true disciples is to fight alone. Joining forces is the mindset of the weak. Since we have stepped into the true disciples' ranks, we should consider ourselves no worse than anyone else. With me, there is no one! Don't worry."
"Seriously, what kind of time is this? It's the end of the world, and you still have to stick to your Azure Cloud Sect style? Give me some magical girl stuff! Team up against the enemy, believe in bonds, comrades, miracles!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Our Azure Cloud Sect focuses on cultivating immortality; we don't do those things."
"I'm so angry I could faint from the sheer idiots of the Azure Cloud Sect!"
Two more magic cannons fired in quick succession, and the two quickly created distance between them. The spot where they had been standing was immediately engulfed by terrifying purple magic.
"Have you really thought about how to resolve the world-ending crisis caused by your sect leader?!"
"Where is the crisis? I can't see any crisis."
"We've been bombarded by a bunch of ' Shion ' for so long, and there's still no crisis? Are you blind?"
"Our sect leader didn't say this was about saving the world; for true disciples, it's just participating in a combat assessment!"
Iris staggered to her feet, looked at " Shion " in the sky, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Using the apocalypse as a test, you guys actually have a bigger show than Iris! In the New World, no one is allowed to be more awesome than Iris!"
Ten more arrows shot into the sky like meteors.
Just as the " Shion " were trying to hide, a dark pressure suddenly descended!
Those " Shion " were forcibly pressed onto the arrows!
He was then dragged into the Mental Image Remnants underground by arrows.
Iris knelt on the ground, coughed violently again, then raised her head and smiled, "You've finally arrived, my dearest friend."
Jiegeng also looked up and saw the imposing purple magical girl, completely different from the previous " Shion." "[ The Lord of the Great Tribulation ] version, you should rest for a while. Leave this to me."
"Stop fooling around. I've been waiting here for her all this time."
Iris pushed Jiegeng away, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't get in my way."
"With your physique, can you even fight?"
Don't worry.
Iris took a deep breath, patted her chest as usual, and declared loudly, "I am the strongest magical girl!"
" Reality Marble Deployment!"
The pitch-black Mental Image instantly engulfed the " Shion " on the opposite side, excluding Jiegeng.
Then Iris plopped down on the ground again, yelping, before getting up and rubbing her bottom. She then looked at the expressionless " Shion " opposite her and said, "This really doesn't suit you at all, Qingluan."
There are two ways in which Shion can be contaminated.
One type is those who failed to pass through the " Heart Demon Dao Field " and the " Dharma Cannot Be Cultivated Together," and were directly corrupted.
Another type requires power to be actively corrupted.
Qingluan was undoubtedly the latter; with Bai Mei's help, Qingluan rescued a group of magical girls.
In order to free the General Administration from the siege of " Shion ".
Finally, he actively chose the power of " Shion," igniting the Shion Divine Flame within his body, and transforming himself into a great calamity.
Of course, if it's only for a short time, Qingluan won't be completely swayed.
The problem is that in order to save more people, Qingluan has been in the form of " Shion " for far too long.
The greatest power deserves such a price.
When Iris returned to headquarters, she only had time to see her friend who had left under the identity of " Shion ".
" Shion's face is too exquisite. You idiot, using her face is just a terrible match. How can the strongest make such a silly expression? Of course, if it were me, it would be fine, because I am the strongest. The strongest person with the strongest face, a perfect combination—"
Muttering to herself, Iris managed to stand up, though her body was already nearing its limit.
However, her Mental Image remained as steady as Mount Tai, pressing down on Shion, who was holding Qingluan place, preventing her from moving.
How should I put it?
Iris lowered her head, gazing at the cratered surface of the moon below, and slowly clenched her hand towards Qingluan.
Fragments of the moon kept flying out, pressing down on Qingluan's Shion, more and more, almost burying her.
"Now I understand a little better what you felt when you saw me in Full Bloom in the Mental Image soul. Ugh, it's really annoying how you completely ignore other people's feelings and rush to do things like sacrifice. It makes you doubt your own abilities. If only I could become stronger, if I were stronger, maybe I wouldn't have ended up like this—"
Until all the moonstones submerged the Qingluan, transforming it into a new moon.
Iris was panting heavily, and just as she was about to rest, a hand suddenly reached out from the moon.
It's not just the suppression from the moonstones; the gravity at the center of the entire moon has been altered to an unbelievable degree.
The Iris has reached its Full Bloom, and its gravity can even suppress a Full Bloom magical girl.
However, Qingwan simply smashed the moon with her bare hands and walked out of it step by step.
"It's definitely not suitable for you."
Iris took a deep breath and finally stood up. "Although I've never won before, you don't think I'm really unable to beat you, do you? Actually, it's just that I wasn't serious. I didn't want to make you cry, because comforting you is such a hassle."
Watching Qingwan leap up and crash down on her head, Iris turned and scrambled to another planet. The strange gravity made her float in the air. Then she turned back, "Now I'm getting serious, Qing—"
Qingluan's fist slammed heavily into her chest.
The other planet beneath them collapsed!
Iris, swimming like a frog, hugged the meteorite beside her. "Damn, you're serious! A-Qing, with our relationship, shouldn't you have struggled, shown a weakness, and given me a chance? Why didn't you press the magical girl button—"
Before she could finish speaking, Qingluan stomped down again.
Before the terrifying object even touched Iris's head, the immense magical power and pressure seemed to control gravity itself, rendering Iris immobile.
That kick was enough to explode her forehead!
That's why I said it wasn't right for you.
Iris had just been panicking, suddenly changed her expression, looking somewhat smug, and the gravity around her abruptly shifted.
Due to the change in gravity, Qingluan's Shion's movements were suddenly distorted, and it was even unable to maintain its balance.
Iris drifted down to Qingluan's feet, then grabbed Qingwan's ankle and yanked her away!
The Qingluan Shion crashed directly into the core of another planet.
Amidst the flying pebbles.
Repulsion and attraction simultaneously pressed against Qingluan's body.
Most importantly, the magic itself is being pulled away from Qingwan's body by gravity, bit by bit.
"If it were the old you, you would never have been so reckless. Although your strength has increased, your overall power has actually decreased. Qingluan, the old you was much stronger. You shouldn't have relied on Shion in the first place. You are my Iris's best friend and nemesis."
Iris gripped Qingluan's neck tightly, her long purple hair billowing in the gravity. Blood trickled from the corner of Qingluan's Shion lips, becoming tangled and chaotic under the force of gravity. "Have some confidence, Qingluan!"
Shion, the Qingluan phoenix, looked at her somewhat blankly, raised her hand, and gently stroked Iris's face.
Then he suddenly grabbed Iris by the neck!
"Seriously, this is really difficult—"
Despite her difficulty in speaking, Iris smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, this is the Qingluan. Let's have a competition then—"
Anyway, it always ends up like this.
Purple magic continued to dismantle her magical attire.
However, gravity is also constantly penetrating into Shion's power.
In fact, there have been many such endurance battles between the two since they became magical girls and joined the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Especially after Iris acquired her Mental Image, Qingluan was always able to turn the situation into a magical clash between the two of them by relying on her cards.
Iris always loses.
At that time, the total amount of magic power she and Qingluan was actually not much different, and their precision in controlling magic power was also similar.
But they always fell short by just one move.
Later, they competed many times, and Iris always wanted to win against Qingluan in this aspect, but she never won.
Now that Qingluan has transformed into Shion, both her total magical power and the precision of her control far surpass what they once were.
Do you know why you lost?
The Iris gazed into the eyes of the Qingluan phoenix.
Only those eyes remained the familiar color, no longer purple.
She would never mistake those pale blue pupils.
Although she seemed a little slow and dazed, it was clear that tears were welling up in her eyes.
However, the purple color continued to spread across those pupils.
Iris is starting to dislike purple.
She used to like purple because of Shion.
It is a symbol of power and mystery.
"Back then, Senior Larkspur told me why I lost: because I always felt that 'good enough' was fine. Qingluan, your desire to win was much stronger than mine. Even when you ran out of magic, you always desperately wanted to win, even if it meant risking your life. I lost from the very beginning."
"Actually, I think it's fine to let Qingluan Qingluan in a fight. I've never beaten you before, and Qingluan has always been stronger than me. Losing isn't shameful. Besides, I'm a little afraid that if I were to beat you one day, would you hate me and distance yourself from me? After all, I think Qingluan's desire to win is too strong, and she might seem petty."
"Compared to victory, the Qingluan is definitely more important, so—"
Her own magic was gradually depleting, but Shion still had a considerable amount of magic left.
It's nothing like before, where they could fight to the death with both sides of the Qingluan.
The gap has widened.
But Iris flashed a radiant smile, "Come on, this is the last time, I'm going to win."
I will be like Qingluan was before.
The magical armor on Iris's body vanished in an instant!
Even if it costs me my life!
Even the magical armor was used as the last bit of magic power. The Mental Image space collapsed, and the magic power that was maintaining it was also squeezed out. Iris used her mortal body to smash into Qingwan's forehead. The last bit of magic power surged and exploded on Qingluan's Shion body!
"I'll definitely win and show you!!"
The violent explosion suddenly blew away the surrounding meteorite belt!
Looking at the shockwave that surged directly from her Mental Image space, Jiegeng was slightly taken aback; even she was somewhat amazed by its power.
I never expected the magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to go this far.
As the sect leader said, a good magical girl from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is no less capable than a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.
No wonder Master values Iris so much----
Thinking this, the explosion escalated again!
The explosion that caused the entire Mental Image space to collapse was so powerful that it almost shattered the Mental Image Remnants below as well!
Jiegeng was also startled. She quickly used her magic to suppress the terrifying explosion and stabilize the Mental Image Remnants below, so as not to release the other Shion.
Only after everything had calmed down did Jiegeng look towards the center of the explosion.
The Shion has disappeared.
The purple magic gradually began to change color, returning to the familiar color and aura of another magical girl.
That was the magic of the Qingluan.
Qingluan was lying on the ground, and Iris was still holding her neck with one hand, though not very tightly.
Iris's left arm had completely flown off, and blood was flowing from the severed arm. If it wasn't treated in time, it wouldn't be surprising if she bled to death.
Qingluan, who was being strangled by Iris, reached out and pressed her hand against Iris's severed arm. Iris's blood was all over her hand, body, and face.
She desperately used her magic to stop the bleeding from the Iris, while Qingluan herself was unharmed.
She was protected by magical armor during the explosion and was not harmed at all.
But at this Iris, half of Iris's face was a bloody mess, and one of her eyes was completely destroyed, leaving it barely able to close. Blood kept flowing from her forehead, along her broken eye, and down her bloody face.
Her expression remained the same, a smile as bright as the sun. Even after being blown to a pulp, she seemed completely unaffected, simply purring a cheerful whisper, "I won! I won! Qingluan, you can't cheat on me now!"
Even Jiegeng couldn't help but admire the way Iris looked at Iris.
What a hero!
They can withstand all of this.
Furthermore, because the Mental Image space is damaged, one cannot transform for a short period of time, and it is questionable whether the body can be repaired once the transformation is restored.
Magical girls' transformations to repair their bodies have a time limit.
But Iris didn't care at all, and just kept emphasizing her victory to her friend.
Magical Girl Iris, she possesses the true essence of magic!
It took Qingluan a long time to cover her eyes and upper face with her other arm, but she couldn't hide her sobs no matter what. "Idiot, what good will winning do? You've always been the strongest, you've always been the strongest magical girl in our Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. There's no need for you to beat me. Leave me alone!"
"You're the idiot. The so-called strongest has a nemesis you can't beat. How can that be convincing? Nobody will believe you. Besides, if I can't beat Qingwan, my confidence—oh, no, I should say my Dao heart—will be damaged. If my Dao heart is damaged, I can't become the strongest! If even I don't believe in myself, how can I be the strongest?"
Iris swayed as she stood up, her remaining eye shining brightly. She reached out and helped her friend up. "You can win countless times, but I only need to win once. Because if I win this once, I'll have the strongest and my friend. Is there anything better than that? Hehe."
Laughing, she touched Qingluan's forehead with her own again. "I won't let you run away after winning, Qingwan. You'd better swallow your regret and resentment at this defeat!"
Qingluan sniffed, holding the severed hand of the Iris, "How are you going to fight like this?!"
"Don't worry, I'm the strongest magical girl. Losing an arm or a leg won't affect my strength at all. In fact, I'll become stronger because of my disability. To catch up with Shion, I've almost finished reading Bai San's novels. Let me tell you, getting injured is a good thing. Being disabled makes you more focused on becoming stronger. In novels, those who are missing arms or legs are all reclusive masters—"
"Idiot."
"You're the idiot! Ouch, don't wipe your nose with my severed hand, it's so dirty!"
"Also, I'm not petty!"
"You're so petty! Look how you cried after losing just once, your nose is all red. I've never cried when I lose to you. You have no mental fortitude, Qingluan. I guess I should just let you win."
"I don't need you to give in, and I didn't cry, but you did, and you were even secretly stabbing me in the blankets."
97
"No, I didn't. Someone gave me that little doll, and I didn't use it on you. I was just giving you acupuncture."
You're the one who's petty.
"You are!"
"You're not just petty, you're one-eyed!"
"Wow, attacking me like that! Qingluan, we can't be friends anymore, you've gone too far!"
"----sorry."
"Hehe, I've found your weakness. You won't win an argument with me now."
"Idiot."
You're the idiot!
Seeing the two of them arguing again, Jiegeng sighed.
Just as my senior sister said, the magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau are really noisy.
She stood up, about to say something, when Iris, who had just saved her friend, was simply laughing happily and chatting with Qingluan about Shion.
"Whatever she's up to, since she's going to kill everyone, Iris will definitely not let her get away with it. I'm going to grab her and give her a good spanking, so she'll know that she only won because I let her win—"
You're just bragging.
"I'm not bragging. Look at me now, I still won against you, haha. I've lost to you way more times than I've lost to Shion. To me, Qingluan is more important than Shion. Don't question me, you defeated opponent."
I knew I couldn't lose to you.
"No, we're the best of friends in the world, and the strongest of all. If we join forces, we'll definitely have a way to deal with Shion and all that—"
The two chatted and bickered as usual, but their tone gradually softened.
No matter how heavy things get, with Iris around, you'll always be able to relax.
As long as she's around, it feels like nothing is scary anymore.
"Really?"
A somewhat indifferent voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens.
The Azure Qingluan and Iris, who had been chatting, fell silent in an instant.
Before Iris and Qingluan could make a move, Jiegeng on the other side had already turned around abruptly, drawn her bow, and shot an arrow toward the direction of the sound with a speed that neither of them could react to!
Before the bowstring was even drawn, a small hand suddenly pressed down on the longbow.
Jiegeng froze instantly. She looked up at the girl who had held down her bow and arrow.
"Master----"
The hand gripping the bowstring tightened slightly.
Jiegeng's longbow suddenly exploded!
The massive explosion sent Jiegeng flying. The magical girl in her red and white shrine maiden outfit crashed down next to Iris and Qingluan, clutching her chest and groaning, barely able to stand.
The chill and terrifying pressure made it almost impossible for Qingluan and Iris to lift their heads. Both of them were in their untransformed state, and even breathing became a problem.
After a long while, the one-eyed Iris managed to lift her head slightly with difficulty.
A faint mist of blood blurred the color of her single pupil.
So much so that the purple-clad girl appeared somewhat ferocious and bloody in her eyes for the first time.
She maintained the same indifference as in Beihai, that arrogance that completely disregarded others, as if it were perfectly natural for her.
A perfectly balanced arrogance and majesty that complemented her impossibly exquisite appearance.
With a casual gesture, she reached out her hand, and both Iris and Qingluan were forced to their knees.
I can no longer stand.
A magnificent lotus flower, with twelve colors, unfolded in the girl's hands.
"Then I'll give you a small gift as a token of our meeting."
" Shion!"
The tiny Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus landed in front of them.
Petals unfurled one by one, and terrifying magic collided and rippled layer by layer.
The three magical girls, along with the headquarters below and the Mental Image Remnants, were engulfed by the raging flames!
Half the world is ablaze!
