Four invisible slashes split Bald Eagle's bullets in two in midair.

"Who?!"

Bald Eagle and the others frowned deeply.

Everyone looked up.

Through the shattered dome, a gray-haired girl descended from the sky and landed lightly behind Little Reynolds, prompting him to glance back instinctively.

She helped me?

Little Reynolds only had time to hurriedly commit the sight of her back to memory.

"Ah... it's you! The magical girl who killed Ripper!" Joker Man tilted his head slightly, excitement surging through him. "It really is you!"

After the online storm surrounding the magical girl, Hell had become famous among supervillains.

Although her reputation had only reached the level of a rising star, she was already known to almost everyone.

Unless someone didn't use the internet.

Otherwise, anyone who opened social media over the past two days would have seen their feed flooded with posts about the magical girl who had sparked controversy by killing someone.

Hearing him, Hell cast Joker Man an indifferent glance, then raised her hand and gave a slight flick toward Scarlet Spider and Power King nearby.

Gesture-enhanced Dismantle.

In the blink of an eye, an invisible slash far stronger than before severed Power King's raised arm at the shoulder.

"Argh!!"

Power King immediately let out a scream.

"Oh my god..."

Scarlet Spider, who had been preparing to take Power King's punch head-on, widened his eyes beneath his mask, shock and disbelief filling them.

After all, Power King was a C+ class villain, just like Jumbo, and his extraordinarily tough muscles made him a veritable damage sponge.

Last time, Scarlet Spider had spent an entire afternoon wearing Jumbo down to exhaustion before finally arresting him.

And now, with a mere raise of her hand, Hell had severed the arm of Power King, who was on the same level as Jumbo, in a single move.

Although her ability had an advantage against him, it was still a genuine feat.

Her strength had left Scarlet Spider a little terrified.

And that was only the beginning. While everyone was still in shock, Hell waved her hand again.

Splurt!

Power King's head flew high into the air, and his body fell to the ground like a small mountain. He was dead as dead could be.

From start to finish, she had made only two moves.

Scarlet Spider sprang backward and looked at Hell. "Hey... wasn't that a little too cruel? And Miss Hell, have you been nearby the whole time?" he asked hesitantly.

Hearing that, Hell snorted coldly. "Don't ask about things that don't concern you, Spider-Boy."

"My name's Scarlet Spider..."

Scarlet Spider felt somewhat helpless, though he had already grown used to her arrogant young-mistress attitude.

She really was the most unusual magical girl he had ever met.

Not only did she ignore the Ministry of Magic's rules and unspoken conventions to interfere in battles between superheroes, she had also repeatedly broken the gravest taboo by killing.

Meanwhile.

"Fuck..." The cigar in Bald Eagle's mouth dropped to the ground.

He turned to Joker Man. "You didn't fucking tell me beforehand I'd be fighting a monster like this!"

He had no obligation to face an unbeatable enemy!

As he spoke, Bald Eagle turned and ran without a moment's hesitation. What did a fucking million dollars matter compared to his life?

Seeing that, Joker Man shouted, "One and a half million!"

Bald Eagle faltered.

Joker Man said, "Three million!"

Bald Eagle turned around and drew his gun. "She's just a magical girl, isn't she? It's not like I haven't killed one before. Fuck it, I'm in!"

At that moment, Miss Hell slowly turned her gaze on them.

She gently swept the long hair off her shoulder, her eyes as cold as ice.

"You want to kill me? Then come and try."

With that, the girl raised her hand again and aimed it at Joker Man and his companions. The vast magic power inside her began to boil.

"She's casting a spell! Interrupt her!"

Joker Man shouted.

Hearing him, Flamethrower, Bomb Boy, and Bald Eagle immediately used their superpowers and rushed to attack Hell together.

Flames blasted from beneath Flamethrower's feet, making him the fastest of the three. He flew into the air, aimed at Hell, and unleashed a vast sheet of scorching fire from his palms.

Bomb Boy threw a miniature bomb at her from the side.

Bald Eagle spun his revolver and pulled the trigger repeatedly at Hell, emptying it in a second and using Telekinetic Enhancement on the bullets.

"Look out!"

Scarlet Spider shouted to Hell and was about to run over to help, but Demon Wolf suddenly slammed into him from the side and sent him flying.

The half-man, half-beast Demon Wolf bared his teeth. "I'm your opponent, Spider-Boy!"

Meanwhile, facing the combined attack, the gray-haired girl's lips merely curved into a faint, contemptuous smile.

"Rabble."

Her gaze settled on Flamethrower behind the flames. Ignoring everyone else's attacks completely, she raised her hand and swept it through the air.

"Dismantle"!

Splurt!!

Before Flamethrower's horrified eyes,

an invisible slash split the oncoming sea of flames in two and severed his body in half in midair.

Boom!!

Bomb Boy's miniature bomb exploded amid the flames.

Joker Man frowned.

"Did we get her?"

No...!

Bald Eagle shouted, "She's not dead! My bullets missed!"

Amid the soot from the flames and explosion, the girl's figure had vanished at some point.

When her magic power began to boil again,

she was already beside Bomb Boy, her slender, pale palm resting gently on his head.

The girl's fingertips felt slightly cool.

Bomb Boy's pupils quaked, and he hurriedly reached for the bomb button on his chest, but it was too late.

"Cleave"!

Splurt-!!

Miss Hell's figure flickered as she slipped past Bomb Boy, brushing his shoulder.

Two clean slashes cut his head straight into three pieces.

Her B+ class total magic power, combined with Sukuna-level magic power output efficiency, made Miss Hell's Cleave a terrifying finishing move capable of instantly killing any C class enemy.

After all, Cleave was a specialized slashing attack of the Malevolent Shrine Cursed Technique. By taking into account both sides' total magic power and magic power output, it produced an attack guaranteed to cut its target apart.

Thus, from the third-person perspective of Joker Man and the others, all they saw was Hell suddenly appearing beside Bomb Boy.

She pressed one hand against his head and brushed past him. Immediately afterward, Bomb Boy's head was cut into three pieces.

"Boom!!"

Only then did Bomb Boy's dead man's switch finally activate, turning his corpse into a bomb in an attempt to take Hell down with him.

But Hell hadn't stopped moving for an instant. After killing Bomb Boy, she had already moved straight in front of Bald Eagle.

"Fuck!"

Bald Eagle was so frightened he leaked a couple of drops of urine. He hurriedly rolled away to create some distance, then emptied his gun at the nimble Hell again.

Even Hell wouldn't choose to take bullets strengthened by Telekinetic Enhancement head-on, because there was simply no need.

After being enhanced by two traits, her speed was definitely greater than that of Bald Eagle and the other two. It had reached C+, putting it almost on par with Scarlet Spider's, if not a little faster.

A C+ speed stat was the minimum requirement for "elementary speed," and the same applied to the other stats.

A B+ strength or speed stat corresponded to intermediate strength or speed.

An A+ strength or speed stat corresponded to advanced strength or speed.

An S+ strength or speed stat corresponded to super strength or super speed, both extremely rare throughout the world and, as far as was publicly known, possessed only by Peacemaker.

Hell knew, however, that her own invincible dad also possessed super strength and super speed comparable to Superman's.

All this took time to describe, but happened in an instant.

After dodging Bald Eagle's bullets, Hell suddenly spotted Joker Man sneaking away nearby, so she raised her hand and sent a slash flying at him.

"Ow!"

Joker Man let out a scream worthy of Michael Jackson. Both his legs were cleanly severed, and he fell to the ground, shouting:

"Fuck! You naturally evil magical girl! And here I bought your company's stock to support you!"

"Strictly speaking, I'm a shareholder of your parent company! Is this how you treat a shareholder?!"

Joker Man shouted on and on.

Hell paid him no attention whatsoever and continued fighting Bald Eagle.

While Bald Eagle was reloading and retreating, she raised her hand, gathered her magic power, and sent an enhanced slash at him.

Splurt!!

Bald Eagle clenched his teeth, and the white telekinetic energy before his chest flickered faintly. He actually managed to withstand Hell's enhanced slash head-on.

"Oh?"

Seeing that, Hell's lips curled up slightly. "You're pretty tough. I thought that would cut you in two."

Malevolent Shrine's Dismantle was fast whether enhanced or not, but its power dropped off rapidly at long distances.

Even so, Hell had used a gesture-enhanced Dismantle to kill Flamethrower in midair with a single blow.

Bald Eagle's superpower, Telekinetic Enhancement, deserved much of the credit for his ability to withstand that enhanced slash.

After strengthening his body, his defense had reached at least C+ class, or "elementary defense."

"How about this one, then?"

To Bald Eagle, the girl's voice now sounded like a nightmare.

He still wanted to turn the tables and kill her, but Hell no longer wanted to play.

In a single encounter,

Miss Hell moved so fast that Bald Eagle couldn't see her at all, and the girl's small hand brushed lightly across his face.

The next second.

Splurt-!

Bald Eagle's head parted from his body and rolled like a bowling ball to a stop in front of Joker Man.

"OMG...!"

Seeing that, Joker Man picked up the head with an exaggerated gesture, sighed deeply, and then sat on the ground as if giving up.

He lifted his kneeless thighs.

Tap.

The girl stepped lightly through the blood on the ground and came to a stop in front of Joker Man, looking down at him from above. "You're next."

"Oh~"

Joker Man, his face covered in exaggerated makeup, kept his eyes fixed on the girl's tights-clad thighs.

He raised Bald Eagle's head and said,

"I think humanity really ought to give whoever invented black pantyhose a Nobel Prize, don't you? I could play with those legs for a year."

"Bald Eagle must like them too, right? Look how happily he's smiling-"

Splurt!

A slash flashed past, splitting Bald Eagle's head in two once again and leaving him deader than dead.

Joker Man's voice cut off abruptly. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wiped away the blood splashed on his face, and looked up at Hell.

He forced a smile. "Haha, Miss Hell, that's your codename, right? I think... there must be some misunderstanding between us."

Miss Hell's gaze was icy. She raised her hand slightly and aimed at Joker Man's crotch, magic power surging around her slender, pale fingertips.

"Say any more of that nonsense, and I'll cut off your little joker first, then chop your magic balls into mincemeat."

Joker Man immediately covered his crotch, his face deathly pale.

"Eek... can we settle this peacefully?"

He complained bitterly to himself. How is this a magical girl? She's a naturally evil, terrifying witch!

Damn witch, isn't anyone going to do something about her?! An ill-mannered, arrogant young mistress like this deserves a good spanking!

At that moment, Hell was more terrifying to Joker Man than ten thousand Terrifying Owls.

How he wished the one standing in front of him and interrogating him now was the vigilante Red Owl.

At least Red Owl wouldn't set his sights on his magic balls, no matter how much he hated him.

Joker Man considered himself someone who felt no pain.

But having his magic balls cut to pieces was another matter. He didn't think that was a punishment a human could have come up with.

Hell spoke coldly. "Who sent you to attack the Reynolds Group?"

If Joker Man had come alone, she would only have thought he was stirring up trouble in a fit of madness.

But since he had brought such a capable team with him, someone had to be providing him with funding and intelligence from behind the scenes.

Joker Man said, "I won't tell you anything!"

Splurt!

"Argh!!"

Joker Man let out another extraordinary high note that rivaled Michael Jackson's.

He immediately abandoned every last scruple and blurted everything out:

"Commander Kong, the underworld middleman, sent us. I really don't know who's above him! The boss's assignment was for us to sabotage the Reynolds Group's launch event!"

Miss Hell's pretty brows knitted slightly at his words.

She couldn't be bothered to figure out whether he was lying. With a single slash, she sent Joker Man's head flying.

Judging by the record he had amassed over the years, Joker Man was not only deeply disturbed and a born sociopath, but also possessed an immortal body.

Whether burned, sunk in the sea, encased in cement, or ground to dust and scattered, he would reappear someday not long afterward.

Joker Man's head rolled to one side.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "We'll meet again, Miss Hell."

"Next time, hee-hee... can I touch your thigh?"

Before he could finish, Hell sent a slash flying without looking back, slicing his head to pieces.

Miss Hell then looked toward the other half of the battlefield, where Scarlet Spider was still fighting that half-man, half-wolf thing.

And he seemed to have gotten the worse of it again.

The werewolf not only possessed boundless strength, but his stamina and endurance also rivaled Power King's, and his recovery speed was freakishly fast.

There was no helping it, Miss Hell sighed inwardly. Superheroes always had to get beaten down before turning the tables.

But she didn't want to wait that long, so after closing the distance, she aimed at Demon Wolf's back and sent a slash flying.

A tribute to our legendary king of getting beaten down, "Scarlet Spider"!

"Splurt!"

The invisible slash sent Demon Wolf flying in an instant. His half-human, half-wolf body let out a scream, and the wolf features gradually faded from him.

Hell wanted to walk over and finish him off.

Scarlet Spider hurried over and pressed down on her hand. "Wait, wait, wait! Miss Hell, please spare his life so we can question him!"

If she killed him too, there really wouldn't be a single one left!

Hell glanced at Scarlet Spider. Just as Scarlet Spider was nervously wondering whether she would refuse,

the girl dispelled the magic in her hand.

"Fine, for your sake."

Only then did Scarlet Spider breathe a deep sigh of relief. "Thank you, Miss Hell. You're such a good person..."

After saying that, Scarlet Spider slapped his forehead and glanced at the bodies of Joker Man, Flamethrower, Bomb Boy, and Bald Eagle nearby.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly beneath his mask.

Haha, is she really a good person?

Meanwhile, in an underground laboratory.

A person wearing an assistant's name badge reached up and removed a USB drive plugged into a server, having successfully stolen the Reynolds Group's vital secrets—the detailed blueprints and program algorithms for a controlled nuclear fusion device.

He pressed his earpiece. "Boss, I've got the goods, but there was a slight complication. Joker Man's team was wiped out, and Demon Wolf was captured."

"But we were discreet. No one can get any evidence."

He looked at the back of the gray-haired girl in the surveillance footage.

"Also, the one who did it was that magical girl codenamed 'Hell.'"

"Joker Man's livestream seems to have caught her on camera too."

The person on the other end of the earpiece fell silent for a moment.

"She did it? Then don't worry about it. Make a copy of the surveillance footage and destroy all the hard drives. Don't let them fall into anyone else's hands."

"As for Joker Man's livestream, suppress the news for now. Don't let it spread everywhere."

"Yes."

In the wrecked test site, Scarlet Spider trussed Demon Wolf up, then looked toward Hell nearby.

"Ahem... Miss Hell, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, with so many criminals, I really couldn't have handled them all by myself."

Reinforcements from Owl Squad were still on the way.

And in keeping with the American superhero solo-universe convention that teammates never arrived in time, poor Spider-Boy would have been beaten to a pulp without Hell, one hundred percent.

"Is that so? Then I'll reluctantly accept your thanks."

Hearing Scarlet Spider say that, the corners of Miss Hell's mouth rose slightly. Though she didn't say so, she was already enjoying it inwardly.

Hee-hee.

After all, showing off in a big way in front of a good bro was every man's dream.

Although she had transformed into a magical girl instead of Kamen Rider or Ultraman, they were theoretically pretty much the same.

Suddenly, Hell walked over to a camera that had been placed in a corner at some point. She bent down, leaned close, and gazed at its red light, pondering for a moment.

No wonder she had kept feeling like something was watching her. It turned out to be the work of that "livestream hero" Joker Man again.

The viewers in the dark web livestream immediately flooded the chat.

"Kitty peeking in is so cute."

"I'll keep stalking you.jpg"

"We've been spotted! Quick, take a screenshot!"

"Wifey, wifey, I love you."

"...suki!"

The next second, Hell smashed the camera with one punch.

"NOOO!!"

"Haha, saying no won't help!"
