The strongest magical girl of the modern age and the strongest magical girl in history!

Everyone says the sect leader can distinguish everything clearly, but I don't think that's necessarily true.

Shion turned around and looked at Jiegeng, who was standing up in the distance, with a slight surprise.

"He's still alive?"

"Sect Leader, don't be mistaken, Jiegeng isn't just one of two people."

Jiegeng pressed her hand to her chest. "These are my two lives too. I'm sacrificing one of my personalities to offset a fatal wound. But isn't that a bit unfair, Sect Master? This shot of yours not only cancels out my magical girl form, but also kills my original self. Can't you at least show some respect for the magical girl setting?"

"This is too troublesome." Shion drew her magic spear, looking at Jiegeng standing high above. "Who are you?"

"You guess?"

Just as Shion was about to make a move, Jiegeng shrugged and said, "Sorry, that was a bit rude. After all, Sect Master, you can't even tell Tiana and Jiegeng apart, so how could you possibly tell us apart?"

Shion had originally planned to wipe out her opponent in one fell swoop, paused slightly.

Before she could say anything more, Jiegeng raised her hand and waved it. "I know, I know, the sect leader can tell the difference, but she's just too lazy to explain, right? To be honest, I don't really want to hear this explanation, although she probably doesn't care anyway, as she's happy as long as she can fight the sect leader."

Shion couldn't quite remember Jiegeng and Tiana.

Tiana came to the Azure Cloud Sect relatively early, but later, because Gou Daoliu returned to his hometown, they didn't meet very often. Most of the time, Bingtang communicated with her.

As for Jiegeng, his impression of her was limited to her being a good student, but she was too irritable when tutoring Keke, making her unsuitable to be a teacher.

If these two stood together, she would indeed have a hard time recognizing them.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Shion has a bad memory; she's just a little face-blind.

For example, she knows there are two true disciples named Tiana and Jiegeng, but it's difficult for her to correctly match the two faces with the names.

When she told Bingtang about this before, she thought the two of them had developed some kind of extraordinary cognitive impairment magic.

After Bingtang explained, she realized that she genuinely couldn't quite remember the two people's faces.

Although there were three disciples outside at the time, Yarrow actually came back quite often and frequently showed up in front of Shion. In addition, Shion was a Harry Potter fan whom Shion hated the most, which made Yarrow stand out in her eyes.

However, given that Jiegeng and Tiana had been away from the Azure Cloud Sect for a long time, it was understandable that she couldn't remember them.

"When we were on vacation at the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, we had meetings at night. The Sect Leader probably doesn't know, but we were secretly staying up all Bingtang playing games and chatting, talking all night long. We even laughed at Yarrow, saying her strategy was too stupid. And more than being impressed, the Sect Leader probably disliked her more and wouldn't take it to heart."

As Jiegeng spoke, she reached out her hand.

The surrounding stars began to converge on her hand, transforming into a beam of fire. "Tiana is a Gou Dao Liu, and I have a dual personality. The Sect Master couldn't possibly forget that. In the end, Yarrow was right. The Sect Master doesn't recognize us, but he remembers her vividly."

As she spoke, Jiegeng made another excuse. "But there's nothing I can do. We can't always show our faces in front of the sect leader, and then An Shiyu popped up with her dual personality and took my place. It's understandable that the sect leader doesn't remember me—"

"She was possessed, that's a separate matter."

That's the key point!

The Jiegeng uses heaven and earth as its bow, the Milky Way as its string, and countless stars as its arrows.

"Although they are two different attributes, if there is significant overlap, it will be treated as a subordinate replacement. Moreover, since the two personalities share a body, when I exist, the other cannot exist, which means that in the end, the two personalities are actually just one person— An Shiyu is two people who can talk at the same time, with distinct characteristics, resulting in the complete failure of the dual personality!"

Listening to Jiegeng's indignant words, Shion pondered for a long time.

It seems to make some sense.

"The idea that dual personalities can only be used as revival coins in the end is really not unique at all!"

The entire galaxy trembled wildly, like a bowstring!

The arrows, formed from countless stars, arrived before Shion in an instant!

As Shion turned to dodge, Jiegeng suddenly pulled on the Milky Way behind her, causing thousands of stars to whip their tails and make a sharp turn to chase after Shion again!

The skill "Causality Hit" has been sealed.

Although it was sealed to Tiana, it also had the same effect on Jiegeng.

This guy really practiced aiming diligently, and even developed his own way of controlling arrows.

It must be said that, starting with the Yarrow, the development of their abilities by this group of true disciples far exceeded Shion's expectations.

The effect of this sword strike was so great that she could actually detect Bai Mei's sword aura.

The Seven True Disciples shared their knowledge, exchanged skills, and worked together to become stronger—this was a request she herself made.

They did an even better job than she had imagined.

Forced to reach out, he had no choice but to catch the arrow that struck from among countless stars.

The moment they made contact, his expression changed slightly.

Its power was beyond imagination, so much so that Shion felt she could barely hold on to it.

She gripped the arrow tightly. Not only were countless stars shattering, but she could also feel the Remnants World in her palm being molded into the shape of World Bubble, constantly exploding in her hand!

The torn space twisted in her palm, and Shion abruptly pulled the arrow away from her face!

The galaxy shot straight through his palm and elbow, flying backward, its residual force scattering like a crimson abyss dividing the universe.

With her right hand hanging limply, Shion looked at the wound on her palm, clenched her fist slightly, and raised an eyebrow.

The problem isn't too serious, but the injury is irreparable.

"Compress the World Bubble, fill those abandoned, Remnants World, and then use countless stars as a shell to transform it into an arrow—this is me, this is our Jiegeng, the final trump card we've prepared for the Sect Master."

Jiegeng kicked a pebble and sighed, "I thought it would amaze you, but compared to others, it feels so shabby. But there's nothing I can do; this is all I can manage."

Shion then opened up a space and silently glanced at the pitch-black Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar inside.

It had already been shattered by that arrow.

Shion picked up one of the fragments, slightly bent her finger, and aimed at the swaying Jiegeng above.

"Well done, bonus points."

That's really great!

Jiegeng's hands hung limply; the arrow had rendered them useless, and she couldn't even lift them.

The blood stained the white of the red and white shrine maiden's robes crimson.

The arrow he shot in collaboration with Tiana did indeed inflict a curse on the sect leader, preventing him from ever fully recovering from his injuries.

But Death God's Embrace both friend and foe.

The power of the Beast of the End was forcibly used, so much so that Jiegeng herself was also tainted by the same curse.

These hands can never be repaired.

"Sect Master, it's not that she's warlike, but rather that she's taken away my ferocity as Calamity Beast."

Jiegeng sat down and continued speaking to herself, "Neither she nor I dared to tell you, after all, you hate the topic of coexistence the most. You get angry as soon as you mention coexisting with Calamity Beast. But Jiegeng chose to coexist with the Calamity Beast that had possessed her. She shared my ferocity, and I shared her gentleness, so much so that many people misunderstood her as being just like you, Sect Master."

"However, it's right that the sect leader doesn't like coexistence. After all, I initially intended to take over her body in the end, to make this idiot regret it and be forever in despair. I can only say that my Dao heart was not firm enough, and I lost myself halfway through. I originally wanted to take over her body, but I don't know why, I unknowingly turned into not wanting others to hurt her."

"I hope the sect leader will forgive Jiegeng for her presumptuousness and recklessness."

"Granted."

Jiegeng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled easily. "That's good. Jiegeng will be happy too. But actually, Jiegeng felt pretty good in the end, because she fought the sect leader to the very end. After all, her wish was to die at the sect leader's hands. The only regret is that I don't know why the sect leader didn't recognize Tiana in disguise."

"Because I didn't expect it." Shion tilted her head, gazing across the Milky Way at the distant master, "Tiana will personally take action."

Even if it's said that they're going to do something with less than a 50% success rate.

But Gou Daoliu is Gou Daoliu after all; there's no reason for him to appear in front of the enemy from the very beginning, exposing himself completely to danger.

That's incredibly careless.

Given the circumstances at the time, it wouldn't be surprising if they were wiped out at any moment.

Perhaps Tiana took this into account when considering the perceptions and psychology of this group.

The so-called credit check is just for the final cash withdrawal.

Gou Dao was doing this one last act of recklessness.

Not only could Shion not correctly match the two people's appearances with their names, but more importantly, based on her behavior, Shion did not believe that the person standing in front of her was Tiana.

Subconsciously, she believed that only Jiegeng would do this, or rather, Tiana would only make Jiegeng do this while she herself plotted behind the scenes.

Only when absolutely necessary will he break through Gou Daoliu's restrictions and appear before him.

I never expected them to risk their lives from the very beginning.

After all, Shion herself was prepared to play cat and mouse with Tiana until the very end.

Even Shion would find it troublesome if this true disciple of the Gou Dao lineage were to hide, especially now that many spells are restricted.

Tiana has done a perfect job on the topic of Gou Dao, far exceeding her own expectations.

This recklessness has indeed planted an irreversible curse of Death God Embrace upon herself.

Whether it's taking a shortcut or acting recklessly, it's all for the sake of the final result.

Whether it's being cautious or reckless, the goal is always to maximize profits.

Sometimes, the so-called "path of survival" becomes an excuse to numb oneself through escapism.

Sometimes, in the pursuit of breaking through the dead end, one becomes reckless for the sake of recklessness.

Tiana didn't touch any of them, and in the end, she made the most rational and correct choice.

The best results were achieved.

Therefore, Tiana gets a perfect score.

This is the essence and significance of Gou Daoliu's teachings.

"What a wonderful Tiana ---!"

Thinking of this, Shion felt a surge of satisfaction and blurted out, "A thousand calculations, ten thousand schemes;"

"Conceal your strengths and avoid danger."

"Finally, he was reckless, borrowing his profound wisdom;"

"Zero-handling and thorough."

Jiegeng subconsciously replied, "The most cunning way."

Shion glared at her. "What do you mean by 'most shameless'? It's called 'survival through any means'!"

"I'm just suggesting a poetic title for you—speaking of which, do I have one too? The sect leader's own handwritten poetic title?"

"Write it yourself."

"I'll write it myself then."

Jiegeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I wish to die in battle."

"It feels good to die at the hands of the sect leader."

"The bonus points are really profitable."

"The most Jiegeng."

Shion silently looked at Jiegeng, while the shrine maiden in the distance tilted her head, looking completely innocent. "I'm from Cherry Blossom Island, and all I know is how to write haiku."

"Oh, right, right."

Just as Shion was about to say something, Jiegeng interrupted her again, "I've already finished Keke's tutoring plan. I have the course materials with Lady Bingtang; just ask her for them. Keke actually has a good foundation in many subjects, except for math, which is a little weak. As long as she strengthens that area, Keke's grades should be good enough to get into the sect leader's university."

"Thanks for your hard work."

In the mouth of a magical girl who casually uses stars as weapons to blast things across the Milky Way after the world is destroyed, it seems that these ordinary studies are the most important things.

"Speaking of which, do you still go to university?"

"Superior."

"Rebuilding the school again will be a huge undertaking."

The red and white witch muttered to herself until the fragments of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Jar hurtled toward her head, at which point she took a deep breath.

"I only want to protect Jiegeng. My existence is solely for the purpose of protecting Jiegeng, so—"

With a terrifying force piercing her skull, before losing consciousness, she could only repeatedly murmur, "I really hate you the most, Shion."

Deep within the pitch-black Land of the End.

While unconscious, Iris faintly heard a sound coming from an unknown source.

He asked her softly, "Do you want power?"

"Who are you?"

However, the voice did not answer her; instead, images unfolded before her.

Yarrow was killed, Tiana perished, and finally, Jiegeng died.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Shion towards the remaining parts of the headquarters.

Currently, it will still be some time before the headquarters is fully integrated into the Magical Kingdom, as long as Shion steps into the headquarters.

Everything will vanish like smoke.

Everyone will die.

You don't need to know who I am.

"Just tell me, do you want power? Do you want the power to fight Shion and save your friends?"

"What are you talking about? I am Iris, the strongest magical girl of our time! Why would I need anything from outsiders? My own power is enough. Let me out, and I'll stop Shion!"

Then the voice sighed wearily.

Iris suddenly felt a little smug.

Still trying to play tricks on me? Do you think Iris was fooled from childhood?

She was all too familiar with this tactic.

Saying you need to borrow power is just a pretext to deceive yourself into doing bad things.

Iris her life, Iris has acted with integrity and a clear conscience. As the strongest, she would never be blackmailed by anyone!

"I won't let you out unless you use my power."

"You really want me to use your power to do bad things?"

"I didn't intend to do anything bad, and I don't need anything from you, nor do I want you to need anything from me. Because Iris is Iris, and that's all that matters. I like seeing your confident look, even in the most desperate situations, your smile remains—"

"Hey, wait a minute! Why are you talking like some pervert who's been secretly in love with me and spying on me? I know my charm is irresistible, and it's only natural that you like me, but spying is illegal! You have to come to me openly and honestly for my autograph, then tell me you like me, get a firm rejection from me, and then obediently forget about me."

Iris pondered for a moment, "Even if you can't forget me, you should try to find a new girlfriend, then tell her how much you love me, and have her be my fan too. Finally, you should work hard together, and when my gacha pool is released, you should support me and buy me merchandise—and one more thing—"

And you shut up!

The person on the other end couldn't help but interrupt her, so Iris immediately said with a grin, "What? This is just a super emotional fluctuation. You were just pretending to be some kind of emotionless assassin."

"You're Return to Truth as amazing as ever, inspiring longing from afar, but becoming irritating up close."

"How rude of you! If you don't like it, just say so. Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding. Listen, fool, all the dignity in this world is gained through distance."

Iris said in a wise and mature tone, "Anyone who gets close will be dishonorable. So-called liking someone is about gradually accepting these dishonorable processes, not about pouring your emotions into your fantasies, then breaking down and becoming distorted in the face of reality, and finally saying that you've grown up and matured—do you understand?"

"You Return to Truth enjoy lecturing people."

I think you just need to be taught a lesson.

"Perhaps."

The fact that the other party didn't refute her softened Iris's tone slightly, indicating that the other party was at least capable of communication.

"However, I still suggest you seek power from me, because only my power can allow you to face Shion. While I can't guarantee a victory, it will at least allow you to stop her, do what you want to do, and save those you want to save."

Why are you helping me like this? What's the price?

"The price is merely that after the end of the world, you must stay here with me forever, becoming the agent of the Beast of the End. I will take you to see the birth and destruction of every world. We will feed on the Remnants of the worlds and live in our own way until the end of time."

"It doesn't sound like a price to pay," Iris, somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it all benefits?"

"But this is the price you pay," the voice drifted on. "Because you cannot save anyone, nor can you save any world. I am the End, and you must become my agent. We can only witness the destruction of everything, and as the final scavengers of destruction, this is the cruelest price you can pay."

Wow, you sound like you understand me better than I understand myself.

"Because I've seen it too many times, I've always been watching you, I've seen everything about you."

Iris hugged herself tightly, "You're such a pervert!"

I have no interest in your body.

"Then being a pervert is better, right? ---" Iris looked down at her fairly well-endowed figure, "Is my body really that unsightly?"

"No, it's alright."

"You Return to Truth watched that?! You pervert!"

"Are you ever going to stop?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Iris chuckled. "Just kidding. You're right, for me, being powerless to stop the destruction of everything is indeed agonizing, so it's simply impossible for me to accept it."

"However, the power I've given you can temporarily postpone the destruction before you," the Beast of the End said. "Even if destruction is inevitable in the future, isn't risking everything for what's before you what you have now the very thing that magical girls admire? It's also the reason you've fought so hard until now."

"Who told you all this?"

"This is the answer I got when I observed everything you did."

"Why do you make me sound like that kind of hot-blooded idiot who knowingly does something impossible?"

Isn't that so?

"Absolutely not!" Iris exclaimed. "From the very beginning, I never imagined I would fail. All my actions were based on the premise that I would succeed. Despair? What despair? I have never despaired. I have always been full of hope. What you saw was not me at all!"

"That's a complete idiot who can't figure out the situation at all."

"Hey, who told you to say such awful things?"

"Because there's absolutely no reason not to despair, you clearly..." The Beast of the End's voice paused for a moment before lowering its tone, "... you're not even laughing anymore."

Iris paused, then said, "Really?"

"Yes, even you wouldn't be able to laugh after witnessing the devastation of the world's destruction firsthand. That inevitable future is just around the corner. I just don't want to see you unable to laugh."

"Why?"

Because that's not beautiful.

So you were after my beauty, weren't you?

"Let's say that's how it is."

"It would be such a disappointment not to argue back." Iris down, looked around, and scratched her head. "Well, I can't always smile. After all, it would be too cruel to maintain a smile if someone around me died. Besides, it can be tiring sometimes, and smiling isn't always a good thing."

"That's not what I meant. I hate how you radiate pain and despair from the depths of your being, yet you still maintain your confidence—it's twisted, like you're about to break at any moment."

The Beast of the End finally revealed its true intentions, "This time is no different. So, without my power, you will stay here until the very end, and then go and see what the inevitable future holds."

"You're such a sasaeng fan! Fans like you who break the law will be condemned online. It's a good thing you're hiding here; otherwise, imprisonment and intimidation would be enough to land you in jail," Iris yelled, finally sighing. "Anyway, thank you for your concern. But I'm curious, what is it about me that you like?"

Why are you asking this?

"You said you like seeing me smile confidently even in the face of despair, but I've never been in despair, and you have no intention of letting me experience it. So the premise of your liking for me doesn't exist, right?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Iris continued, "Judging from what you said, it's not that you like my strength or narcissism. You're not interested in my appearance either, so it means that what you like is my perseverance even in despair?"

The miracles that magical girls create in the midst of death are probably something you like.

I hadn't thought about that.

"Heh, I knew it. Your mind is blank, just like Shion's." Iris teased the guy who was still destroying the world, before continuing, "Of course I know you don't like me. It's just that the possibility I showed as a magical girl fascinates you. Who I am isn't important. What's important is that possibility that moves and makes you love me."

"That's precisely why you want to let me go. If you don't let me face the despair you know, how will you know I'll make the same choice? Maybe I'll run away when I encounter difficulties and dangers, maybe I'll beg for mercy and give up my magical girl identity when I face Shion?"

"Impossible."

Iris remained unfazed by the resolute Beast of the End, simply stating, "Fine, even if I were to make the same choice, the one you've trapped isn't the Iris you admire. She's just an ordinary girl who hid before despair could set in. Though I am perfect, powerful, and beautiful, none of that matters to you."

Countless eyes opened for her, Iris gazed at those eyeballs, looking at herself reflected within them.

Looking back at countless past experiences—death, despair, pain—I realized I had never given up.

She smiled calmly and reached out her hand to the Beast of the End.

"Let me go, let me become a real Iris, so that you can see the perfect magical girl you've always longed for."

"My power----"

"I already said I don't need it."

Iris stood up, patted her bottom, and said, "Because I'm going to use the power of magical girls to fight for our own future, a future with Infinity possibilities, one that is definitely not inevitable."

"No way."

"How do you know if it's possible if you don't try? In the fighting game world, there's a saying: 'How do I know if it's a negative frame if I don't try? Once I try, it's no longer a negative frame.' Another saying is, 'If it's a negative frame, don't I have to press faster?'"

"Can't understand."

"It means I'm going to seize the future, to reclaim my own future even faster." Iris reached out to the Beast of the End, "Just watch from here! The strongest magical girl's magnificent performance!"

As for the Beast of the End, it didn't know whether what the Iris said was right or wrong.

In reality, the only person it can truly communicate with is Shion, because they are in roughly the same position and can basically understand each other's thoughts and actions.

However, when the distance is too great, it is always difficult to guess how the people or creatures in that location think. Depending on the location and environment, their thinking may even differ.

After all, some people rely on their brains to think in certain environments, but switch to using their butts to think in other environments.

It cannot understand Iris.

but.

"I don't just like you because you can still smile even in dire straits." When the Beast of the End sent her out of the Land of the End, it was because it understood itself.

"Right now, as you speak so eloquently to me, telling me all this, I feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for you, Miss Iris."

Iris her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.

"Then watch! Magical Girl Iris, about to shine throughout the entire universe, I will utterly crush the Great Demon King Shion and save everyone from despair!"

It is unknown how much time later, the site of the remnants of the General Administration.

Shion looked at the Iris lying on the ground and pondered for a moment.

I don't know why the Beast of the End is not here.

She was previously thrown into the territory of the Beast of the End; given that creature's obsession with Iris, it should have given her some power.

What came out was an original Iris.

This left Shion with nothing but disappointment.

Although this assessment is specifically for the true disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, she wouldn't mind taking a look if the other magical girls from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau performed well.

I can only give it a zero.

Taking the exam without any preparation is still not a good idea.

Shion looked past the Iris and towards the distant Disaster Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

In reality, from beginning to end, the magical girls of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau were led by the nose by Four Leaves Six Leaves.

From being determined to return to headquarters to being compelled to connect to the Magical Kingdom and escape the New World.

These are actually all Four Leaves Six Leaves plans.

They are now completely parasitic on the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau Disaster Countermeasures Bureau Management Bureau, attempting to use its power against themselves.

That doesn't mean this line of thinking is wrong.

It's just that compared to other authentic teachings, it's rather simple.

Ultimately, the abilities of Four Leaves and Six Leaves are limited. While collaboration like that between Jiegeng and Tiana isn't impossible in the True Instruction Exam, it's still a possibility.

But no one was willing to cooperate with the Four Leaves Six Leaves clover.

Everyone is wary of the Cognitive Obstruction, fearing that they might be distracted and fail the final exam.

After all, many times when one is influenced by the Cognitive Obstruction, one is unaware of it. Especially when one has to fight against oneself, the greater the pressure, the easier it is for the obsession of Cognitive Obstruction. Therefore, from the very beginning, the Four Leaves Six Leaves clover were isolated.

The true disciples are extremely wary of the Cognitive Obstruction, and from the very beginning they do not give the Four Leaves Six Leaves claps any chance, so they have no chance at all.

Ultimately, Shion only promoted them to the status of true disciples because their abilities were truly unique and had great potential for development. Purely in terms of strength, whether it was the true disciples who had been squeezed out by Yarrow, or some outstanding inner disciples who were honorary true disciples, they were all equally capable.

They are generally no worse than them, and it wouldn't be surprising if some were even better.

From the very beginning, Shion never intended to test Four Leaves and Six Leaves. Their tests were practically over when they participated in the Mental Landscape Trial at the headquarters.

However, since they're mixed up in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, they still need to be dealt with.

The layout of the headquarters remained unchanged; it was still the same school, and the school bell was still ringing.

Once the Iris collapses, the entire headquarters has virtually no ability to resist.

Hongmian, Golden Tea, Shancha —those haphazard, utterly incompetent magical girls stood in front of her, some angry, some passionate, but Shion had little interest in listening to them; their words were mostly just background noise.

Because they don't even have the ability to stand in front of you.

What right do people who can't even stand up have to speak about their beliefs and ideas?

If Shion were to linger, it would be disrespectful to those opponents who had fought so hard to stand before her.

Shion had no intention of humiliating her true disciples, or opponents like Jade Fox who were willing to fight her to the death.

Therefore, they released their magic power without any restrictions, and all the magical girls who hadn't even Full Bloom collapsed to the ground, most of them unconscious.

Shion simply strolled towards the school, and magical girls fell from the sky one after another like birds.

It seems that the General Administration has indeed established a connection and cooperation with the Magical Kingdom. At least at the core of the General Administration, the entire space is being continuously drawn into the more central Magical Kingdom.

Shion gazed at the twisting core in the center, and could even vaguely see the three kingdoms of bears, wolves, and dogs from the Magical Kingdom, but her vision was quickly obscured by numerous Four Leaves Six Leaves clovers, and everything became blurry.

And Qingluan was standing right in front of her at that moment.

This was one of the few magical girls who could stand still in front of her, so Shion paused for a moment, looked at her, and waited for her to speak.

"Just like Miss Tiana said."

It turned out to be his own apprentice's name again.

That makes sense, as Tiana, being a player who prefers to play defensively, always likes to play it by surprise.

Even if they were to die, they would certainly make arrangements for everything after their death, setting all sorts of traps for themselves.

She said, "You will definitely find this place. When you do, Iris will keep you occupied—of course, she didn't expect Iris to be able to keep you occupied for long."

When Qingluan said this, she seemed a little unnatural, as if she didn't quite like Tiana's prediction.

But ironically, Tiana was right.

"The connection between the headquarters and the Magical Kingdom is our last chance. The Magical Kingdom is located on the World Tree, and Sect Master— Shion, your goal is to destroy the world. That means you can't destroy the World Tree for now. As long as you can hide in the Magical Kingdom, you'll be safe for a short time—"

It's unclear how Tiana came to that conclusion.

But Shion nodded, without denying it.

"But she can't make too many arrangements in a short time. She's worried that this arrangement might upset you, so she asked me to pass on a message to you."

Qingluan cleared her throat and imitated Tiana's words.

"Master, your disciple is about to be unfilial, but the fact that you're hearing this means I'm already dead. Since I'm dead, let the dead be respected, and don't hold a grudge against Tiana, because this is also part of what you taught me, the way of the sneaky."

Shion tilted her head slightly, her expression showing some curiosity. "What kind of backup plan is it?"

Qingluan took a deep breath.

Then they slowly moved aside.

The intense heat wave hit us first, then a crimson glow, like the sun itself, engulfed our entire field of vision.

Even Shion's previously indifferent expression gradually changed, and then she let out a cold laugh.

"Incredible, Tiana, you've schemed this far."

A fiery red magical girl set the headquarters ablaze, almost melting the glass in her intense magic.

The constantly dripping glass resembles transparent Liuli.

"Shion."

Keke gazed at the purple figure and said, slowly and deliberately, "I want to kill you."
