Moon God: You're the Challenger! (Two-in-One)

Taiping Prefecture, late Saturday night.

After putting Wuhua and Xiaoxiao to sleep, Miss Hell went to the Sky Garden alone and poured herself a glass of juice.

Enjoying a drink alone.

Ahem... How can grape juice not be considered alcohol? It just has a very low alcohol content.

The girl hugged a pillow, nestled in a rocking chair, enjoying the evening breeze.

Suddenly, Hell heard a faint clanging of chains behind him, so he frowned slightly and looked toward the corner of the garden.

"Hmm, we've been discovered."

The witch Bubble emerged from the shadows, slightly raising the brim of her hat, and smiled gently, "As expected of Little Hell, your senses are so sharp."

Miss Hell's tone was slightly cold. "Witch Bubble? What do you want with me?"

Bubble smiled helplessly and sat down in the wicker chair next to Miss Hell: "Don't be so cold~"

The girl approached the gates of Hell.

Those dark golden eyes, like those of an old clock, were filled with curiosity. "I want to know, how did you kill that mad dog, Ji Yuan?"

I fought him last time, and it ended in a draw.

Bubble sighed.

You know about the Abandoned Land?

Miss Hell was puzzled.

Bubble chuckled, "Don't underestimate my intelligence network, my dear Little Hell. In the Witches' Association, I'm in charge of intelligence work similar to the KGB."

"She is highly regarded by the student council president."

Hell: "So?"

Bubble was helpless. She felt like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, only to be completely ignored. So she could only sigh.

"Well, actually, I came here to ask you for your opinion on the Ministry of Magic's New Five Colors Team."

Upon hearing this, Miss Hell pondered for a moment and said, "I will not join the Five Colors, not now, and not in the future."

Bubble stood up with a smile, "Then I'm relieved, Miss Hell."

Having said that, Bubble took a step back and disappeared into the darkness.

"Playing tricks."

Hell muttered a complaint under his breath, tilted his head back to finish his juice, rinsed his mouth, and went back to bed to sleep.

Before that, she released the Shadow Wolf.

In a dark corner, the Shadow Wolf sat on the ground, raising its dark red eyes and looking around warily.

It stands guard for its owner.

The next day was a Sunday.

While the girls were still fast asleep in bed, the internet was already in an uproar over the news announced by Colossus Company today.

Taiping Prefecture Daily: Colossus Company announced that it will broadcast live this afternoon the epic showdown between its studios, Magical Girl "Hell |" and Magical Girl "Moon God |!"

"Damn, guys! Live stream the whole thing?! Really?!"

"So Moon Studio wasn't just joking around the other day, they were actually planning a magical girl battle!"

"The Moon God and Hell are at war? Why would I have such a dream? It should just be an exhibition match, right? It shouldn't be serious."

"Hard to say. Your Moon God sister was quite the battle maniac back then. She didn't give up even after failing to challenge the Eclipse three times. She's just been keeping a low profile this year."

"It's hard to say about Hell Sister. With her ruthless nature, even the Ministry of Magic can't do anything about her and can only settle things peacefully."

"I'm already looking forward to it...!"

The announcement of the duel shocked everyone.

The Ministry of Magic was terrified and immediately convened an emergency online meeting to discuss whether to stop the duel.

According to the Ministry of Magic's regulations, magical girls are forbidden from fighting each other, let alone engaging in public duels.

One person in charge said, "I think we should still ask Colossus Company to stop this event, otherwise, if there's a first time, won't there be a second?"

"It's fine for magical girls to fight in private, but how can you publicize something like this in public!"

"Yes, how can we manage things if they get out of control?"

The people in charge were discussing it amongst themselves, but their tone was much better than before when they spoke about Hell.

They're truly at their wits' end with Hell.

In terms of public opinion, Hell is the magical girl who defeated Surt; in terms of law, the opposing side has the Colossus Company protecting them.

Not to mention that Hell is now closely associated with the Moon God, what else can they do? They can only add the person to the official list and then shift the blame to Frost and Snow.

Otherwise, if they drag this out any longer and miss the chance to shift the blame, it will be the Ministry of Magic that loses face.

Just then, Red Rain, who had been deep in thought with her eyes closed, suddenly spoke up, "Xiaohong, why don't you go and watch the battle with Whale Song, who just returned to Taiping Prefecture?"

"Make sure this battle goes smoothly without any unexpected incidents, and more importantly, that it doesn't affect the Ministry of Magic."

Since there's no way to stop this exhibition match, the Ministry of Magic is prepared to officially oversee and certify it.

In terms of political and public opinion manipulation, Red Rain is clearly far more professional than Hu Xueting, because she knows how to go with the flow.

Once the Ministry of Magic maintains its dominant position, any other company that wants to Copy this competition will have to obtain approval from the Ministry of Magic first.

Xiaohong nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, Minister."

They weren't the only ones busy.

And there's the Owl Group.

Mo Jin'an sat in his armory, staring at the promotional posters released by Colossus Company on the screen, lost in thought.

In that hand-drawn poster with the image divided diagonally, Hell and the Moon God each occupy a corner, creating a sense of tension and oppression.

Mo Jin'an glanced at today's schedule and found that she had some time at that time, so she decided to go to the scene to watch the battle between the two magical girls.

It was noon.

Miss Hell slowly woke up, and after washing up in the bathroom, she patted Shadow Wolf's big head. "You've worked hard."

The big dog, praising the girl, wagged its tail and happily licked her fingertips, making them tickle.

Helpless, Hell patted its head. "Go back into the shadows, don't let anyone else see you."

The Shadow Wolf then obediently burrowed into her shadow.

Afterwards, Miss Hell went to the refrigerator, intending to see what ingredients were left, when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Xiaoxiao took the initiative to open the door. "Senior Moon God Goddess? It's you."

The Moon God smiled and nodded, holding a platter of fried tempura and sushi. "I heard that Miss Hell often sleeps in until midnight, so I made some food for you."

Upon hearing this, Hell blushed and slammed the refrigerator door shut. "When do I ever sleep until midnight? Who told you that? That's slander!"

Little Moon God stuck out her tongue with a mischievous grin.

Wuhua covered her mouth and chuckled softly, because she had indeed seen Miss Hell's adorable, sleepy, and reluctant-to-get-out-of-bed appearance.

After the group finished lunch, it was already 1:30 PM.

Hell received a call from Tang Wenjie. Colossus Company had already set up professional live streaming equipment at Whale Sea Park, and they could go there to prepare in advance.

To prepare for this duel, Colossus Company mobilized the entire internet to create momentum, and even specially transferred a satellite from the aerospace department to ensure signal stability.

As for Whale Sea Park, it was directly acquired by Colossus Company, so they don't care how much damage it causes.

In other words, you can fight however you want, and all losses will be covered by the Colossus.

The group arrived at the underground parking garage.

The Moon God pointed to her Maybach S680, the same model as the General's. "Sports cars aren't comfortable for passengers, why don't you ride in mine?"

Hell nodded. "Okay, but how about I drive?"

The Moon God gave an awkward laugh, "Actually, my driving skills aren't that bad..."

Faced with Little Hell's skeptical gaze, Miss Moon God finally obediently sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

After getting into the car, Hell first adjusted the rearview mirror, which made it impossible to see the lane, and then put the wipers back in place. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief as the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Wuhua and Xiaoxiao sat in the back row, scrolling through netizens' comments and wondering how many people would pay attention to today's battle.

They clicked on the homepage of Moon Studio. Although the broadcast hadn't started yet, the black screen of the live stream room was already packed with people.

"Urgent! When will the war begin?"

"Holy crap, Colossus Company has brought all their satellites over here."

"I'll die without Miss Hell..."

"Missing Hell Kitty for 114514 seconds."

66

When Hell arrived at Whale Sea Park, she found that a lot of reporters had gathered at the entrance, but fortunately, the security of Colossus Company maintained order.

The vehicle drove into the park's seaside plaza, where staff from Colossus Company had already set up various equipment.

This ensures live streaming delivery from every angle.

Before getting off the bus, Moon God coughed twice, reverting to her patriarchal demeanor, appearing completely unfamiliar with Hell.

Hell couldn't help but laugh.

The two arrived at the pre-match rest area. Since they both belonged to the same studio, Tang Wenjie avoided appearing in front of either of them to avoid suspicion.

To avoid the audience saying that their battle was rigged, or that Tang Wenjie only coached one of them before the match, ignoring the other.

The few free agents were Richard and Xiaobaihe, two energetic guys who were the pre-match hosts for this premiere.

The time came to half past two in the afternoon.

Moon Studio opened the live stream on time, and within ten minutes, a million eager viewers flooded in.

Today happens to be the weekend, and everyone is already quite free. Coupled with the marketing blitz from Colossus Company, many people outside the industry couldn't resist coming to join in the fun.

Good afternoon, everyone! It's your old friend Richard!

In the sea breeze, Richard held up his phone, tousled his hair, and said with a nonchalant air, his back to the sea, "Half an hour until the official showdown begins."

"How about we go with our Xiaobaihe sister and interview both contestants first?"

The screen was flooded with comments like, "I don't care, I want to see Hell Kitty! The last time I saw Hell Kitty was in the Battle of Surt!"

Xiaobaihe smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go find Miss Hell and the others right away."

Soon, Xiaobaihe arrived at the rest area and saw the magical girls gathered together, bored, playing Ludo.

"Miss Hell, Miss Moon God Goddess, could you say hello to the live stream?" Xiaobaihe held up her phone and asked expectantly.

"Um?"

Hell Kitty then raised its head, turned to look at the camera, and its deep red eyes held a hint of doubt. "The live stream starts this early?"

The Moon God smiled gently and raised her hand towards the camera.

"So cute, so cute! How can Miss Hell still be so adorable?!"

"The Moon God Goddess is as gentle and reliable as ever, so adorable!"

"The Nightingale and the Morning Star are here too!"

"I really want to hug and pet this Hell Kitty, even if it meows, I won't let go..."

"↑Now it's daytime, brothers."

"Hehehe, the Moon God Goddess is still as gentle as ever, a completely different temperament from the Miss Hell!"

"Hmm, the Moon God Goddess's fingernails are so clean and perfectly round! This must be amazing for our Little Hell..." (This account has been banned)

"Hey, why do you look like that?"

"Damn it, it's all the fault of those guys up there, why did they have to imagine it was so great!"

"Let's have a serious discussion: Who's more powerful, Hell or the Moon God?"

I think Hell is more powerful.

"Not necessarily. A high-attack, low-defense Hell Kitty would probably just pat its waist and blow on its ears and collapse into the Moon God Goddess's arms, only able to whimper and tremble weakly as it struggles!"

"Wait, are you guys even having a proper debate? I don't understand it at all!"

"Of course it's a serious debate (trying not to laugh)."

Upon seeing these comments, Xiaobaihe quickly turned off the bullet comments. cough cough, this can't be seen by innocent little girls!

Soon, it was three o'clock.

Xiaobaihe has shut down the Moon Studio's preview livestream.

Then, without keeping the audience waiting for long, Colossus Company's large live broadcast room opened, and what came into view was a panoramic view of Whale Sea Park.

Next, the camera cuts to Richard holding a microphone, who first approaches Hell: "Miss Hell, how would you rate the Magical Girl Moon God, and what are your chances of winning this battle?"

Upon hearing this, the Miss Hell crossed her arms and smiled, "The Moon God is a very powerful magical girl, but unfortunately, I have never lost to her so far."

The next scene shows Xiaobaihe interviewing Moon God: "Miss Moon God, how would you rate Magical Girl Hell? Do you think you will win this battle?"

"Miss Hell? I really like her! Her tsundere look is cute, her angry look is cute, and her shy look is even cuter..."

"But in today's battle, as your senior, I won't hold back, so..."

The Moon God smiled confidently.

"We will win."

"Also, Little Hell, do you remember our bet?" She winked at the camera. "If you lose, you'll have to obediently call me 'Big Sister' from now on."

The viewers in the live chat burst into laughter. "Wow, this is fucking exciting! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

"Actually, I'm a fan of Lord Hell... but for some reason, I've suddenly had a slight urge to see Little Hell defeated. Forgive me, forgive me..."

"Gan, I really want to see the young lady's defeat CG too! Sorry, Lord Hell, I'm switching allegiance to Lady Moon God!"

"There's even a bet? If I lose, will the defeated Little Hell have to pitifully call me 'Big Sister'? Hmm... Such a delicious sight! Please, Moon God, do your best!"

On a building outside Whale Sea Park.

Red Owl landed gently, with Scarlet Spider by his side.

And in the convenience store downstairs in their building.

Lin Xiaohong, who was exhausted from working overtime last night, was drinking a latte while a girl with long blue hair sat next to her.

She is Magical Girl: Whale Song, the ace magical girl from Jupiter Studio. She was previously based in Hong Kong and only returned to Taiping Prefecture yesterday.

Whale Song, munching on a convenience store sausage and takoyaki, cheeks bulging, curiously leaned over to Xiaohong and watched the live stream.

"Is this Miss Hell? Hmm, she's so pretty. I heard she's only sixteen and already has A-rank strength."

She mumbled, "Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older."

Xiaohong Hong nodded, somewhat curious. "Miss Whale Song, who do you think will win, Hell or the Moon God?"

Upon hearing this, Whale Song pondered deeply for a while before slowly giving his answer, "I think the Moon God has a better chance of winning."

"Her Magic Cursed Technique is very powerful in one-on-one combat."

[Magical Girl: Moon God]

[Hazard Level: A to A+ (Predicted Maximum Potential)]

[Magic Cursed Technique: "Dark Side of the Moon"]

[Dark Side of the Moon: A high-output, high-damage Cursed Technique, typically manifested as a lunar sword aura capable of manipulating gravity and tides.]

[Magic Domain: Nightmare Moon. Once activated, it will apply a guaranteed hit effect to the area, while also imposing absolute gravity on it, interrupting and distorting the target's magic circuits.]

This is the information that Miss Hell's Skynet has collected.

With the staff leaving, only Hell and Moon God Goddess remained in the vast Whale Sea Park.

Richard, as the official commentator, began explaining the rules of winning and losing to the audience.

"1: The winner is declared when Miss Hell or Moon God Girl surrenders on their own, or when one of them withdraws from the transformation."

"Ms. Xiaohong from the Ministry of Magic will provide technical support for this duel. Even if the two girls disintegrate during the battle, their identities will not be revealed, allowing them to truly fight without restraint."

"2: The winner of this duel will receive a special prize of $100 million, jointly sponsored by the Colossus Group, the Owl Group, and the Pacific State United Government!"

The comments section was already buzzing with excitement. "A 100 million prize? My god, 100 million for just one fight! Too bad I'm not a magical girl."

"Urgent! Why hasn't the war started yet? I'm dying of impatience!!"

"The Colossus Company, which constructs these structures, is really good at keeping me in suspense, isn't it!"

Finally, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Richard smiled slightly, "Then, the duel shall officially begin. Please concentrate on enjoying the magical girl versus the whale-sea duel!"

Perspective shift.

In the shot:

Miss Hell descended from the sky, her high-heeled shoes landing slowly on the ground. She raised her hand to lightly toss her long hair, her expression cold and noble.

Her fans immediately started flooding the screen with messages. "Wife, wife, wife!!"

"The cold-faced, adorable Hell... Suki!"

"Go, Lord Hell! Please, please don't let the defeat cutscene play out!"

The young lady then gently raised her eyes, looked around, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Where is the Moon God?"

A few comments in the live chat said, "I don't know!"

"Yes, where is the Moon God?"

Just as the screen was flooded with comments, the camera switched to Miss Moon God, who was far away on the coast, almost a kilometer away from her.

The girl in the white and purple dress took a deep breath, letting the sea breeze lap at her face, and then slowly raised her sword sheath.

The girl's right hand touched the blade...

At this moment, terrifying tidal power gathered within the Moon God's body. She continuously compressed and condensed it, finally converging it within the scabbard with a "whoosh!"

The tide at the beach receded instantly.

"Shinto: Lunar Eclipse!"

At that moment, the Moon God drew her sword, turned around, and unleashed a massive Lunar Eclipse Sword Qi towards Whale Sea Square, a kilometer away, where Hell was located.

The sword energy reached a height of ten meters, slicing through the beach and earth in the blink of an eye, and instantly appearing in front of Miss Hell.

Under the watchful eyes of millions of viewers, Miss Hell's pupils contracted, and she instantly dodged to avoid the sword energy.

But her movements seemed slow.

"Pfft!"

The girl's left forearm was severed in an instant, and bright red blood splattered in the air.

She abruptly stopped to the side, a hint of "shock" showing on her delicate and adorable face.

Then, the shock turned into an expectant smile, "That's more like it...! Magical Girl 'Moon God'!"

Rumble!!

The Moon God's sword energy, undiminished in its force, forcefully parted Whale Sea Park from east to west, creating a clear midway line.

The live chat exploded instantly. "Holy crap!! What the hell is that?! Lunar Eclipse Sword Qi a kilometer in diameter?! I must be dreaming!"

My Hell Kitty is so scared it's fluffed up!

"I'm not dreaming, this is real!!"

Just Richard was about to speak, a voice suddenly invaded the live stream via Subspace signal. "Ahem... I am the witch 'Bubble.' Since the previous commentator was not a professional in the magical world, I will now provide the commentary for everyone."

"Just now, Miss Moon God Goddess, at the closest point to the tide, amplified her power through a magical ritual and unleashed this 200% powerful attack."

The powerful Lunar Eclipse Sword Qi.

"Miss Hell clearly didn't expect her opponent to use this move at the start, so she fell into a disadvantageous position from the outset."

The viewers in the live chat didn't know who Witch Bubble was, and thought it was a new professional from the Colossus Company. Then they suddenly realized. "No wonder that sword energy was so terrifying! Wow, this thing can only be used once, right?!"

"Magic rituals require a long preparation time and consume a lot of magic power. Miss Hell won't let her hold back for a second strike."

59

The employees of Colossus Company were dumbfounded. Who is Witch Bubble?! How dare you barge into someone else's live stream?!

The technical department was in a state of panic, trying to regain control of the live stream, but found it was simply impossible.

Because the other party invaded reality through a projection network in Subspace, unless they directly cut off the power.

Fortunately, Tang Wenjie remained calm under pressure, adjusted his glasses and said, "Since she wants to explain, let her explain. After all, experts are more professional."

59

At the same time, the camera zoomed out, and the Moon God descended from the sky like a beam of moonlight, landing five hundred meters in front of Miss Hell.

Looking at Miss Hell's pitiful state with her missing arm, the girl secretly swallowed hard, then gave a slightly excited smile, "Let's make it clear first, Little Hell."

She raised her silver-white longsword, pointing it at Hell: "In this battle—you are the challenger."

Upon hearing this, Hell sneered, slightly raised his hand, and his severed forearm was instantly restored.

Even the magical armor was repaired.

The girl's long gray hair swayed in the sea breeze as she spoke in a cool, unhurried voice, "Magical Girl Moon God? If I had awakened two years earlier, you might never have had the chance to challenge me in your entire life."

Having said that, Miss Hell secretly rejoiced; it was finally her turn to make her tough statement in front of the audience.

The live chat was instantly ignited by the two's merciless words. "Magical Girl Hell, you're the challenger!!"

"Heh, just an ordinary person born in my time (laughs)"

"What an arrogant Hell Kitty!!"

"Roar! To witness such a magnificent duel, this battle is truly worth dying for!"

"Wow!! That's awesome!!"
