Ningfeng Harbor's sky seed to weep.
Howling winds, rolling pressure—the terrible aura from the city's tallest building made countless interested parties turn their attention, uneasy and anxious, knowing sothing terrifying had awakened.
Whether Salvation Church investigators or Holy City Association strategists, all actively mobilized.
At the conflict's center, the top floor office of Changfeng Group tower, the bloodthirsty fusion warriors who died in agony seed to cluster around the pink-haired girl with their suffering.
Lights flickered, cold air poured through broken windows.
Flowing hair concealed Jin Ruochu's cold gaze—at this mont, she was already a Blooming Stage Magical Girl.
Fortune and Misfortune's new stage was clear in her mind. So she indeed possessed catastrophic demonic abilities. Unexpectedly, the hoped-for "precise directional effect" was essentially curse-killing, and moreover, it was using mystery to trigger pathological death—higher-tier than curse relics, with low leverage, high efficiency, and strong judgnt characteristics. The sa pathology placed on strong opponents was equally effective—one exchanged glance was enough to remove combat ability.
No, enemies ca following certain clues—why couldn't Jin Ruochu do the sa? Luck and misfortune could transmit along logical chains...
"Cursing works too."
"I can curse along the clues enemies used to find us. The price is I'll also take so damage. Shall we act?"
The pink-haired girl didn't dare look at her stunned father, instead gazing painfully at Hibiscus.
"Unless you want to be like this guy—vomiting above and spraying below, like a punctured balloon spilling all semi-liquid contents. I read about it in dical books—real cholera is even more terrifying. You should read more to increase curse potency."
The silver-haired girl stepped on the cholera victim's corpse and spread her hands, her warning tone making Jin Ruochu regain composure and begin carefully considering while suppressing magic rampage signs.
She had found the knack, especially with the first Blooming Stage pioneer leading the way.
Not everyone was like Magical Girl Hyacinth with 3-elent advancent claiming solid circulation—at this mont, Jin Ruochu felt magic power overflowing and surging, especially the usually disobedient Causality type having probability of losing control.
She could handle it, absolutely no problem.
The two most beloved people in her life were here as pillars—they would witness her overcoming difficulties.
The pink-haired girl imdiately sat cross-legged and began ditating to organize the massive magic power generated by Blooming Stage. The office with howling winds finally cald down.
Jin Changfeng slumped by the boss chair, instinctively wanting a cigarette but finding his hands wouldn't stop shaking.
Click.
Hibiscus helped pull open the drawer to retrieve a Cuban cigar. When the other took it but couldn't find a lighter, she snapped her fingers to ignite it from a distance. He took a deep drag and exhaled white rings, his complexion slightly easing.
"Rest well, Mr. Jin."
"Don't you want to hear their reasons for doing this?"
"Unnecessary. Regardless, the Salvation Church now has complete reason to eliminate them."
The silver-haired girl paced around the office with hands behind her back. Each ti she stepped over a corpse, it turned to powder and dispersed through the window gap—extrely exquisite and powerful magic pressure physically reducing fragile flesh to ash. Simple, efficient, and thoroughly domineering destruction of evidence made the finally cald Jin Changfeng's mouth twitch.
Fine, did he who steered Changfeng Group's rise have no dirt? Also a first-generation entrepreneur, young people born in Disaster Beast-frequent years understood survival better.
"Good morning over there, Elsa. Sorry for the sudden disturbance." Hibiscus picked up the phone by the window, explained what happened, and instructed: "Investigate on your end, but mainly cooperate with our cover-up. I'm certain Ningfeng Harbor will be lively for a while..."
"Don't worry, I'm on standby."
The two briefly exchanged current situations and made rough deploynts, unanimously believing the Church was under Holy City Association attack.
They didn't need overly aggressive proactive attacks—after all, the enemy was hidden while they were exposed, with information asymtry between sides. They should be more careful.
For Hibiscus, the unusual relationship with Changfeng Group was already exposed—the Association could play this card.
But correspondingly, the Church gained another Blooming Stage Magical Girl, narrowing the combat power gap again. If they were smart, they wouldn't announce it for conventional warfare, because the Church wielding Causality and Ti magic possessed abilities for logical chain curse-killing and hundred-percent assassination. If the two organizations fought, subordinates doing work would all die—conventional warfare mutual deterrence should prepare for transcendent battle, with mutual understanding.
On the other side.
Following magic power traces, Magical Girls Tulip and Protea arrived at a military base in transformation form. Guard posts lined the area, searchlights frequently sweeping.
The two swaggered forward, making the fusion warriors at the gate slightly stunned.
What's the situation? Fighting the Golden Dragon Emperor for real?
The dragon robe Regalia girl glanced toward Changfeng Group tower and murmured: "She beat us to it. In that case, I'll try breaking through directly in this battle. I might lose control—beat and the base together."
"Huh?"
Before Tulip could react, Magical Girl Protea had clearly transford into half-dragon form.
Far from over, her aura surged forward like a triumphant song. Thunder rumbled, flas swirled around her—clearly substantial magic pressure had already exceeded Growth Stage.
"You're going all out—"
Then both suddenly frowned as unknown fog enveloped them, containing countless varied magic power reaction forms within, each possessing threats. More terrifying was the extrely strong Knowledge Poison leaking out—several guard soldiers imdiately collapsed.
A codena Holy Relic lifted all restrictions, decisively releasing pollution in hundred-percent stance to engage enemies—this hadn't appeared even in the Antarctic Treasury battle.
Admittedly, Knowledge Poison was an ultra-strong attack rooted in world rules—even they had to be fully prepared.
"Seems we found the right place. According to those soldiers' address, you're called Mist?" The red-haired girl maintained brainwave perception. "...What makes that Association worth your life in battle?"
"Soone will deliver fatal strikes to you. I only need to weaken."
"Who?"
Mist didn't answer but suddenly increased magic output—white realm with figures stabbing sharp edges.
The slow speed let Tulip casually avoid them all, but Jin Yulu beside her had no such intention, unhesitatingly eting hundreds and thousands of sharp edges. Only a popping sound as blades pierced her heart, the rest all contaminated fusion magic.
Clearly heart-pierced yet not a drop of blood flowed.
The shocked Mist realized his rash frontal assault actually let the opponent place a hand on his shoulder, firmly pressing down an adult male's body.
"Actually selling a flaw—"
"You deserve it?"
Jin Yulu spat black blood on the ground, then her right arm swelled like a giant fir and slapped toward the enemy's cheek.
Thud!
The air blast completely covered the sound of Mist's cheekbone shattering—ears, jaw, and one eye instantly turned to powder.
At the critical mont, he used body montum to roll away, barely avoiding Jin Yulu's full-force strike to the head, otherwise he would definitely beco a headless corpse on the spot.
"Acting like I don't exist?"
Tulip kicked the Holy Relic's abdon at amazing speed, sending him flying.
Simultaneously, the military base direction rumbled as bullets, shells, and missiles poured forth like they cost nothing, their power enough to blast the outskirts skyward.
Then electromagnetic burst swept across—most electronic weapons paralyzed, smoking or even sparking, but so still used kinetic montum to crash in hard. Jin Yulu unhesitatingly opened her arms to take it all. Already critically heart-wounded, after enduring undefended bombardnt, her aura rapidly plumted—clearly hanging by a thread.
"Perfect, just like the pressure Obsidian gave . That kind of desperate situation can be created."
"You maniac!"
Watching Jin Yulu covered in wounds yet intoxicated, Mist froze—indeed, no Church ace had normal brains.
Though he had thoughts of retreat, the Lightning Elental type would never let him go. Where were the so-called reinforcent ancient Holy Relics? How much longer?
Suddenly the dragon-person girl actively shed scales around her body, skin cycling from supple tenderness to wrinkled age spots, shrinking like an infant then recovering.
Youth could also be controlled.
This divine technique made Jin Yulu's heart tighten.
Good news: her thinking had been completely correct all along—regarding Blooming Stage World Serpent needing cyclical reincarnation, truly approaching her core chanism.
Bad news: she needed hibernation.
"Sorry, Tulip. I need to sleep briefly. The task of destroying the base is yours." Saying this, she transford to ordinary python size, coiled up and slept soundly. Simultaneously, scales rapidly spread and grew into an egg-shell structure.
Rebirth and repetition—from adult to embryo, walking reincarnation again. This was the necessary path for Blooming Stage her.
"Huh?"
Since the mission began, Tulip felt unexpected events ca wave after wave—perhaps this was normal human society, where plans never kept up with changes.
"Great chance!" The completely liberated Mist suddenly pounced straight at the red-haired girl.
However, unexpectedly, he actually passed right through her body, even getting wrapped in lightning that made his body numb. Could the enemy be so energy form?
Before understanding, Tulip's speed increased another level, kicking his abdon—powerful electromagnetic penetration tore flesh and carved a hole.
"What are you showing off for? I alone am enough."
Few knew she actually belonged to the magic-first advancent type. After all, the Fallen Zone was crisis-ridden—pointing out the strongest magic first for survival guarantees was convenient. Competing with Disaster Beasts on origin was wishful thinking, using Regalia was too fragile, so she always had magic break through levels first. In other words, Magical Girl Tulip had already reached elental energy transformation realm—Pseudo Magnetic Field's operational control, power, and developnt expanded dramatically.
The reason she hadn't fully revealed her level was because she wasn't quite Blooming Stage yet, but for Magical Girls, magic—this sharpest spear—was already polished.
The remaining choice was origin—gradual progress would work. Most likely she would reach new levels without much commotion.
Electromagnetic storm!
With the red-haired girl as center, all electronic equipnt within a 10-kiloter diater radius was scrapped.
This also included lightning-effect pressure—surprisingly efficient at clearing minor enemies. Even with fusion warrior physical qualities, eighty percent were knocked unconscious and lost combat ability, not to ntion basically paralyzed weapons. Sweeping across with Blooming Stage magic was complete domination.
"You should stop." Magic power filled with Knowledge Poison was easily avoided by Tulip as Mist had recovered.
Holy Relics also possessed flesh repair abilities, just with low efficiency.
"I was just worrying about only destructive activities—where to get intelligence? You'll have to work hard as a prisoner."
Before finishing, Mist saw the red-haired girl disappear, then the opponent incredibly closed to zero distance before him—a pink fist entered his vision wrapped in thunder.
Thud!
The muffled sound beca the last thing he heard before losing consciousness.
Tulip, who withdrew magnetic field burst, shrugged and once again confird Senior Hyacinth's judgnt. Theoretically, codena Holy Relics indeed might affect Growth Stage Magical Girls. But strongest magic users often transcended their peers—such small fry weren't worth ntioning.
She used electromagnetic attraction to pull the World Serpent egg and prisoner, swaggering away. Before leaving, she didn't forget to turn back and fire an electromagnetic cannon.
Fire shot skyward, shockwaves spread, reflecting the red-haired girl's shadow growing longer and longer.
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Nan Zhiyi, who had just returned to land from Fireworks Island, witnessed two areas of the city blazing like torches—thick smoke rolling, fire truck sirens piercing, everything chaotic as far as she could see.
How did ho beco like this?
No need to guess—with Jin Yulu and Hibiscus's personalities, they were absolutely steady as mountains with special agent style. However, the other two partners were unstable—the passionate ones among them most likely followed the situation and made a big scene.
Tomorrow morning, the whole world might know Ningfeng Harbor was the Salvation Church's rear base.
"...Call Elsa? No, Hibiscus should have already done that. Control dia power then? But that requires official control level."
In a flash, she could think of several plans but rejected them one by one.
Suddenly Nan Zhiyi tensed like facing a great enemy, because at this mont she felt ntal power scanning coming at her—very strong, multiple Growth Stage Magical Girls. Besides the Salvation Church, which organizations possessed such foundation!
Instantly she entered Magical Girl Dandelion transformation stance, eting possible enemies at one hundred percent full strength.
"Who's there?"
Gazing toward the beach direction where the aura ca from, she saw a sunglasses-wearing qipao woman smiling as she bounced a small girl in a nightgown in her arms like greeting.
"Got it. I said I dare claim second place in coordinate divination—no one dares claim first."
"Haven't seen you for just a few days, Lord Dandelion."
The one getting friendly was a black-and-white heterochromic girl whose face was identical to ancient Holy Relic Pharmacist, just changed to Regalia style. Previously Hibiscus had shared intelligence about the Ranger Organization with everyone, so Nan Zhiyi slightly lowered her guard.
"Lord Kale, it's been well."
"...I knew Hyacinth said everything that should be said. Really no mysterious entrance."
Nan Zhiyi didn't relax vigilance much, questioning: "How much do you all know about the current situation?"
"Currently, I speak with the Church's general manager as Magical Girl Kale, unrelated to any Holy Relic faction affairs. But to gain trust, I can reveal the process—"
The heterochromic girl cleared her throat and said seriously:
"The Holy City Association has long suspected my loyalty. While ordering to investigate you, they secretly dispatched people—actually numbing . Either make transmit false information to the Church to damage relations—sinister intentions. Regardless, their causing this ss in Pharmacist's jurisdiction counts as repeatedly making enemies. From now on, I have no connection with the Association and will join in retaliating against them."
"Very sincere. You completely opened ntal barriers—you shouldn't be lying. But does the above an you're still the Ranger Organization?"
"What's your opinion, Lord Hydrangea?"
"Doesn't matter. Very much approve of your organization's ideals—might as well join directly. This world should be more united."
"Lord Dandelion, as you can see, we represent the entire organization in joining."
The sudden scene stunned Nan Zhiyi, trying to confirm if the other was playing her. However, such a serious occasion couldn't fool people... Could they be accumulating so powerful magic trigger conditions? Must be guarded against.
As thoughts swirled in her mind, a surging ntal power firmly locked onto every high magic power target throughout Ningfeng Harbor—like an all-knowing eye's oversight.
ntal perception!
Only one person in the world could so dominantly use ntal scanning to cover a large city, implicitly marking territorial boundaries.
Everyone understood Hyacinth's implied aning of "I'm watching you"—don't act rashly, show your head and get hit.
Understanding this, Nan Zhiyi imdiately relaxed. With Ti-type Blooming Stage Magical Girl power, any corner of the city could be reached instantly, even ultra-long-range sniping. With such powerful cover, no need to worry too much—the key was handling these new guests well.
Three Growth Stage compatriots intending to join the Church was quite a gift.
But she still couldn't help saying: "Your organization is really casual. Could Kale and Hydrangea just vote on the spot to decide joining the Salvation Church?"
Both nodded.
The heterochromic girl answered: "Theoretically, we still need our boss Wisteria's agreent, but unfortunately she has no autonomous ability now."
Hydrangea held up the small girl in nightgown in her hands, who was curled up sleeping soundly.
Similar to hibernation sleep, Nan Zhiyi had only seen in Disaster Beasts—unexpectedly Magical Girls also would. And it should be due to so magic rampage losing control signs that caused active sleep, representing no small matter. If a Growth Stage went completely berserk, Ningfeng Harbor might face near destruction.
"...What exactly happened?"
After removing her sunglasses, Hydrangea said seriously: "Ranger Organization mbers all master deep ditation active sleep thods, but our boss has been hibernating too long and developed narcolepsy, plus power easily loses control so she shut herself in the desert, even adding a realm layer to her main body for closure. The current situation can't allow continued dangerous negligence—soone must help break the realm. The only top expert we can think of in this area is Magical Girl Dandelion—that is, you."
Feeling hopeful gazes, she hesitated montarily, then imdiately decided that competing with equal-level Domain magic might yield unusual gains.
"I'm watching. Currently no threatening targets in the city."
Sohow Hibiscus's voice rose in her mind.
"Fine."
Nan Zhiyi agreed readily. Seeing this, the two help-seekers were overjoyed—indeed the Church lived up to its reputation, actually willing to righteously help such a mystery-filled ally.
Kale instructed: "Just try using realm collision to break through. She's the True Self Realm Transient State, capable of applying montary eternity effects to affected areas, disrupting ti scales—divided into physical reality, biological sensation, or limited targets among other aspects. Be careful."
"How large is the specific range?"
"Very large—capable of sealing over 250 square kiloters, with strong persistence because Wisteria has been almost constantly half-rampaging in desert training."
"...Indeed very exaggerated proportions, but the universe is always largest. I'll deploy my utmost strength for closure."
As soon as she finished, Nan Zhiyi pressed palms together with interlocked fingertips, compressing all magic power before erupting.
Full power output!
Instantly, silver-white streams extended from her center to surrounding stars, massive sun, moon, Pluto, and giant asteroid belts surrounding in protection.
Looking far, she found distances between celestial bodies rapidly expanding, edges continuously incorporating new city areas—in a blink, no longer limited to Ningfeng Harbor's scope.
At this mont, Nan Zhiyi's entire skeleton creaked with mournful sounds.
But she ignored the pain completely and continued expanding scale. Why not test the limits? The Fallen Zone battle was concerning—if the realm could directly provide coverage, wouldn't it give Church mbers overwhelming advantage? Must fight with full strength.
Next ti the Salvation Church conducted a second round of recovery battles, they needed early preparation—she had to beco a companion capable of sharing Hibiscus's pressure.
Buzz!
Suddenly Wisteria released her realm in sleeping state to actively resist—a scroll of ink painting stretched across the sky.
Both sides were racing to claim territory.
True Self Realm magic generally didn't preset scenarios, leaning more toward restoring the master's state of mind, also possessing far more exaggerated influence ranges than sa-level abilities. Though the two hadn't directly clashed, they were already chasing each other around the city, then monts later the rapidly expanding starry sky left the ink painting far behind.
The Small Universe realm covered 500 square kiloters in enclosed form, completely exceeding a Growth Stage Magical Girl's maximum range—tantamount to suicide.
"You don't want to live?" Kale stared in shock at Dandelion's dropping aura.
At this mont, she covered her face with both hands, blood seeping through her fingers like trickling streams. Unimaginable what trendous cost this was, and Wisteria was also beginning subcutaneous bleeding.
Terrible!
Generally Domain-type users wouldn't fully unleash because they feared backlash costs were one hundred percent, but now both combatants showed no retreat.
"You underestimated the realm range limits."
Suddenly Nan Zhiyi's aura stabilized while blood staining her fingertips completely disappeared, hissing with steam representing ultra-rapid healing. Simultaneously, pressure climbed steadily, corresponding to increasingly brilliant starry skies.
At this mont, both Kale and Hydrangea realized a problem:
That power level realm was enough to explode brains—did you explode once?
The girl who lowered her hands wiped blood traces from her nose tip and smiled freely.
"Realm closure has two ranges—one is reality interference range, two is internal experience range. The latter being massive represents a user's level. Now look up carefully—can you see to the other side of the starry sky?"
