Waves of heat rippled through the industrial park, glass melted in the high temperatures, and rain evaporated.
The large amount of water vapor made the industrial park seem shrouded in fog.
Shion raised her head from the deep pit and found she couldn't see anything.
So he jumped out of the pit, looked around, and found that he was surrounded by flat ground.
This is troublesome. Now that the Shuangsheng- finger tower is gone, she can't find its exact location.
Is this also part of the Witch Association's strategy?
What a cunning Witch Association!
But the general location is around here, no problem.
It released magical threads once more, which spread throughout the industrial park like blood vessels.
Countless worms crawled onto the magic threads, constantly gnawing at and tearing at her magic.
For Shion, this meant less trouble.
The worms that devoured magic power quickly burst into flames.
Instantly engulfed by purple flames, it transformed into pure, Filthy Magic Power that flowed back into Shion!
Although some Gu worms were still hiding in the pitted corners, they immediately stopped their attack after realizing that the magic power was inedible.
Not eating?
You have to eat it, whether you like it or not!
Shion forcefully stuffed her magic into the mouths of each of the Gu worms!
Strings of Gu worms burst into flames, and the industrial park, which had already been razed to the ground, was instantly transformed into a sea of fire once again!
They quickly detected wisps of magical energy behind the Gu worm, connecting it to another space.
It should be similar to Beihai, with a separate space created for concealment.
It is the most perfect tortoise shell.
"Hide well, Chilian."
Shion pointed to the sky.
The magic began to spread in concentric circles, until it transformed into a dense pillar of fire that connected heaven and earth!
"Please don't come out."
The terrifying heat warped space!
Chilian glanced at the unconscious Iris and rubbed her forehead.
Fortunately, the newly arrived magical girl, Full Blossom, was not careful enough and got too close to Qingluan, so she was poisoned by the Gu worm and fell into a coma.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to take over Jiangming City's Disaster Countermeasures Bureau so quickly.
While the Mind-Bewitching Gu is effective, it's too difficult to make it work on magical girls. Besides, she doesn't have an endless supply of Mind-Bewitching Gu. She's spent almost all of the past five or six years making Mind-Bewitching Gu, so she doesn't have any other Gu worms on hand.
In terms of strength, Chilian wasn't among the top of the group back then. Her Gu techniques were passable, but only passable. She wasn't very efficient at utilizing Filthy Magic Power. Later, although she was able to transform into a witch through experiments, she was still capable of it.
However, their abilities are actually quite limited, far inferior to those of Complete Witch, let alone capable of fighting magical girls head-on.
In a fair one-on-one match, even a random New Sprout magical girl could probably beat her.
Among their group, the strongest was the captain, and that's not just flattery.
Being able to fuse with A-rank Calamity Beast Calamity Beast and even steal their abilities, let alone ordinary members who cannot transform into witches, even Complete Witch, the captain could put up a fight against.
Chilian was lucky; she found the Grief Seed of two Complete Witch and successfully stole some of their power using her Gu techniques.
Decades ago, the Witch Association analyzed the Grief Seed and found commonalities Grief Seed and the Miracle Seed, thus developing the Complete Witch, which is actually a variant of the Calamity Beast.
Each Complete Witch also develops her own unique abilities, such as the ability to replicate Shuangsheng, but each ability also has its own limitations.
Compared to magical girls who can create new branch skills through practice simply by believing, witches' abilities usually don't have as much room for expansion.
We can only expand from the basics.
If a skill itself has no room for expansion, then no matter how much training and development is done, it will be useless.
Therefore, overall, the Witch Association's combat strength is still somewhat inferior to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, but as long as their combat strength is not so bad as to be hopeless, there is always a lot of room for maneuver.
Chilian used Gu worms to refine the Complete Witch's Grief Seed, and after a year, she finally succeeded in refining two killer Gu worms, one of which was the Mind-Bewitching Gu.
The number of Mind-Bewitching Gu was small, and it took her a lot of time to implant Mind-Bewitching Gu in all the magical girls in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
In fact, until today, Chilian's Mind-Bewitching Gu was not fully planted, and Qingluan's Mind-Bewitching Gu was not complete.
After all, the Mind-Bewitching Gu is a product of Filthy Magic Power, and if a magical girl is careful enough, it is difficult to plant the Mind-Bewitching Gu without anyone noticing.
That's why it's necessary to use the Calamity Beast to exert pressure for a long time. When the magical girl is under so much pressure during her battle with the Calamity Beast that she can't pay attention to anything else, the Mind-Bewitching Gu can successfully invade.
Qingluan arrived late, and in most cases, the Calamity Beast couldn't put any pressure on her.
It wasn't until the final A-level Calamity Beast, the goat, appeared that Qingluan finally faced enough pressure to successfully plant the final Mind-Bewitching Gu.
Of course, it's still unstable in reality. There wasn't enough time, and the effects of the Mind-Bewitching Gu weren't perfect, so Qingluan is still resisting. Although her body can be controlled.
But Qingluan herself remained conscious...
"Boom!"
The intense heat outside, along with news of the dead Gu worms, brought the news over.
The terrifying power could be felt even within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Chilian subconsciously tensed up, then looked at the Mirror World building, which was only trembling slightly.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
That's really dangerous.
If I hadn't run over in time, I probably would be dead.
In fact, there were many plans that hadn't been implemented in time; everything developed too hastily and too rapidly.
This resulted in most of my preparations over the past few years being wasted.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we hide inside the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
As long as we stay here, there's nothing to be afraid of!
Just keep rearranging things gradually!
"It's not too late for you to release us from control now. I'll send you to headquarters. Even if there's a witch trial, I'll defend you. As long as you're willing to repent, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is willing to accept witches and let you atone for your crimes. We won't restrict your freedom..."
From the time she was controlled until now, Qingluan has been trying to persuade her.
Of course, this was indeed her only option, since while she was verbally trying to persuade her, her hands were actually binding Iris tightly.
After all, Iris was the only one in the entire Disaster Countermeasures Bureau who was not under Chilian's control. She didn't have any more Mind-Bewitching Gu to control Iris, so she could only strip her of her seed and tie her up.
Since they didn't know what tricks the other party might have up their sleeve or other methods, they let Qingluan do it.
Even without transforming, these magical girls always have some annoying little tricks up their sleeves.
I've seen plenty of Chilian.
As for killing Iris, she couldn't bear to.
Such a Full Blossom of his power would be a valuable asset once the Mind-Bewitching Gu was properly refined.
"I know that many members of your Witch Association didn't become witches voluntarily..."
"No, I did it voluntarily, you've got it wrong, Qingluan."
Chilian toyed with the Miracle Seed of the Iris, refuting her words, "What makes you think that everyone didn't join the Witch Association voluntarily? I think you didn't join the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau voluntarily either."
Qingluan raised an eyebrow. " The Witch Association's initiation ceremony is cruel, and your Witch Association means you'll have to undergo inhumane experiments. How could you possibly volunteer? The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is free and open..."
"Free? Open?"
Chilian couldn't help but scoff, "Don't make me laugh. Do you even know what Miracle Seed is?"
"It is the source of magical girls' power and the medium for their transformation."
"Wrong."
Chilian shook her head. " Miracle Seed are tools for recording and monitoring the growth of magical girls. Do you really think a miracle could originate from a tiny seed? Miracles originate from within a person, not from any seed. Seeds are tools that seal away miracles."
"The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau already told us this."
Qingluan seemed completely unsurprised. " The Miracle Seed itself has no power; it's a miracle formed by gathering every little wish together and finding a vessel for that wish. We magical girls are miracles hatched from everyone's wishes, which is why Little White and the others are called Incubators. The seed records each magical girl's abilities and battles, and these will be passed on to the next magical girl as the fruit of the miracle..."
"That sounds nice."
Chilian interrupted her, "Don't you even have the slightest doubt about why the Incubators collect the magical girls' power? Is it simply so you can save the world?"
"What they hatch isn't miracles, but their own fruit! Bud, New Sprout, Full Blossom, and then Full Bloom." Chilian asked her, "And after Full Bloom? What comes after Full Bloom? Did they tell you? Why is it that even though there's a level called 'Full Bloom,' there isn't a single To Live 'Full Bloom ' magical girl? Do you know?"
"Because, 'Full Bloom ' consumes all of a magical girl's power, even her life..."
"Was it really consumed?"
Chilian chuckled softly, "Or perhaps, when it came time for the result, it was taken away by someone else?"
"Boom!"
The entire building in the Mirror World shook again.
Chilian had been handling the situation with ease, kept glancing outside the glass.
What's going on? The tremors are getting stronger.
And the temperature seems to be getting higher?
Qingluan naturally assumed it was Chilian's doing and didn't take it to heart. Although she couldn't move her body, her gaze suddenly became sharp.
Qingluan pressed Iris down firmly with her body, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you know?"
" The Witch Association naturally has its own sources of information, and the magical girls of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau are not a united front either."
Chilian ignored Qingluan and instead tried to send the Gu worms out of the Mirror World to see what was happening outside.
But as soon as you step outside, all you see is a vast expanse of purple ocean.
Then it was swallowed up by the darkness.
Chilian instinctively leaned back, almost falling over. Then she took a breath.
It's okay, it's okay, even if things turn upside down outside.
Everything will be fine here!
However, he couldn't resist checking what was happening outside, and said absentmindedly as he sent out the Gu worms.
"For me, I only want to destroy the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. I have no interest in you magical girls. Be honest, Qingluan. I don't want to torture you. The wishes of the masses, as accomplices of the Incubators, are forcing the magical girls step by step towards a dead end. My mother was like that. Looking at you, I only feel sorrow..."
As she spoke, Chilian suddenly felt that the seed in her hand was a little strange.
She looked down and saw that the space around the seed was slightly distorted.
Sensing something was wrong, Chilian was about to throw the seed in her hand, but the next second, a black thread connected to Iris's hand, and the Miracle Seed suddenly disappeared in the black magic thread!
A dark, distorted space spread from Iris's hand all the way to Chilian's body.
" All Phenomena."
" Weightlessness!"
The twisted Black Hole instantly swallowed half of Chilian's body, and blood and various kinds of Gu worms splattered from the torn body!
The transformed Iris, panting heavily, turned and pinned down the Qingluan that was about to attack her. "You've messed with the strongest magical girl in Jiangming City, you're out of luck! The perfect, invincible, and adorable Iris- sama isn't so easily ambushed!"
"How did you manage to do that...?"
With only half her body remaining, Chilian murmured, "Why, why, did I wake up..."
"You should learn the techniques of the strongest magical girl from the Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau!"
After using gravity to suppress the Qingluan, Iris at the Chilian and said smugly.
Actually, it was all thanks to the battle with Winter Lord.
Seeing how well Winter Lord had developed her abilities, she couldn't help but wonder if she could do the same thing, such as Magical Armament Manifestation and local gravity control.
She Return to Truth managed to figure out some new ways to use her abilities.
The Iris opened its mouth, and a gu worm with eighteen legs, which had been floating in the air, was spat out.
"You actually fed this kind of stuff to beautiful girls? It's disgusting! Release them from your control right now and get rid of all your Gu worms! Or I'll kill you!"
The thought of that thing crawling around inside her body made Iris feel nauseous.
Seeing the Gu worms scurrying in and out of Qingluan's ears, his anger intensified, and he urged, "Hurry up!"
"Hehe, how cute, magical girl..."
As she said this, Chilian reached out to take something.
Without hesitation, Iris fired her gravity cannon.
His only remaining left hand was also blasted apart.
This time, Iris aimed at the opponent's forehead. "I'm giving you one last chance. I'm not kidding."
His usually cheerful and sunny expression now held an unusual hint of ferocity. "If you don't untie this, I'll kill you first, then go back to headquarters and get the magical girl to deal with it."
If I say no...
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, Iris blasted the opponent's forehead to pieces.
He picked up Qingluan and used gravity to control the worms that were crawling around wildly.
Iris then planned to return to headquarters first. Although it was far away, she could get back in about a day and a half if she traveled at full speed.
Once the problem with Qingluan is solved, and a method is found to help deal with the Mind-Bewitching Gu from the Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, then...
However, in the blink of an eye...
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying face down on the ground.
The Qingluan was pressing down on her body.
" Miracle Seed are tools used to record and monitor the growth of magical girls. Do you really think a miracle could originate from a tiny seed? Miracles originate from within the person themselves, not from any seed. Seeds are tools that seal away miracles."
Chilian's voice came over.
At the same time, a strange sensation spread throughout my body.
wrong.
"The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau already told us this."
Qingluan answered Chilian, " The Miracle Seed itself has no power; it is the result of gathering every small wish together and finding a vessel for that wish to condense into a miracle..."
wrong.
Something's not right; it feels like something similar has happened somewhere before...
Over there, the unharmed Chilian suddenly stood up, holding her seed. After examining it for a while, she suddenly laughed, "Truly not to be underestimated, she is indeed the strongest magical girl in Jiangming City, Iris."
Having said that, a large amount of polluting magic was poured into the seed, somehow disrupting the magical connections within it and causing the Miracle Seed to lose its vitality.
Iris's eyes widened as she struggled to stand up.
However, he couldn't sense any magic power at all, and was pinned down by the Qingluan, unable to move.
"Give up. Do you think I've grown to this size in Jiangming City?" Chilian casually tossed the Miracle Seed of the Iris in front of her. "I have countless chances to try and fail, but you only have one."
" Iris!" Qingluan's eyes instantly reddened, "Your seed..."
"It's alright!" Iris gritted her teeth. "Don't give up, Qingluan! It's just the loss of one seed! We'll think of something else!"
"Commendable courage."
Sitting back down in her chair, Chilian applauded Iris. "It's a pity there's no chance now. The Mind-Bewitching Gu on Qingluan is almost complete. As for you, confident and beautiful Miss Iris, you've lost your value. I'll feed you to my Gu worms next."
She trembled, but Iris still shouted, "You, you don't think I'm afraid just because I'm like this!"
"It's okay if you're not afraid, it's all the same whether you feed it to the Gu worms or not."
Qingluan tried hard to break free from the control, but gradually, even her consciousness began to blur.
More and more worms began crawling onto Iris's thighs and face. The girl gritted her teeth, her face pale, but still said, "I... I'm not afraid of you!"
Then, looking at the anxious Qingluan, despite being in danger herself, she comforted her friend, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, Qingluan! We will be saved! Someone will come to rescue us!"
Why are you so confident?
"Because we're magical girls!" Iris trembled slightly, the venomous insects biting her skin, her voice trembling with tears, but she still shouted, "A miracle will definitely happen!"
"Don't think about it."
Chilian scoffed, "This is the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, located in the Mirror World. There are over 160 defense lines outside. It took our Witch Association countless years to break through. Unless there's an inside agent, no one could possibly find this place."
Standing beside the glass wall, Chilian gazed at the vast mirrored world outside, her arms outstretched. "No one can save you! I..."
"Boom!"
The entire building suddenly began to shake even more violently!
Chilian nearly lost her balance and bumped into the desk next to her with a groan.
Iris was also thrown out by the impact, crashing into the wall and nearly passing out.
Fortunately, she regularly trained her physical body and managed to withstand the damage, only managing to quickly shake off the two Gu worms that had been crushed to death by hitting the wall.
Then he looked up and saw that the flames in all the glass and mirrors of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau were like a purple ocean filling every corner!
The high temperature even transmitted through the mirror!
"Holy crap!"
Chilian was lying face down on the table, couldn't help but swear.
The intense flames outside transmitted heat through the mirror, causing the buildings in the Mirror World to begin melting!
Chilian was stunned.
What the hell is that monster?
It's one thing if the Mirror World directly affects the interior from the outside.
The problem is that the entire Disaster Countermeasures Bureau is still inside!
"What kind of madwoman is out there! Doesn't she know you're still inside? She's going to kill you all!"
The Qingluan and the Iris exchanged a glance.
No one spoke.
Having received no answer, Chilian stared at the two magical girls, then suddenly realized that the rumbling outside had stopped.
Even the sizzling sound of the building melting had disappeared, leaving only a sudden, eerie silence inside.
And the air that is constantly warming up.
Chilian felt a subtle unease:
I just don't believe it...
Just as they were about to send all the magical girls out...
A slight clicking sound came from somewhere.
The three people inside all looked over at the same time.
Right behind Chilian, outside the glass wall of their room, came a constant clicking sound.
From small to large, it's as if something is being torn apart and shattered.
To Chilian's horrified gaze, a crack appeared behind the glass wall in front of her.
Before anyone could tell whether the glass had cracked or something else, a pair of small, fair, and delicate hands emerged from the crack, accompanied by a series of amplified, ear-piercing noises.
And just like that, a gap was torn open in the Mirror World!
A pair of cold, purple eyes peeked out from the dark crack, possessing a mysterious beauty and a terrifying quality.
"Are you hidden well, Chilian?"
The petite figure violently burst through the crack, and a torrent of purple flames, accompanied by waves of heat, poured into the Mirror World like seawater!
