"I underestimated you people from the Salvation Church. Indeed, only monsters and those becoming monsters can return from the Disaster Beast frontlines."
At this point, Chariot took a deep breath and set aside his anger. Getting angry wouldn't solve anything—fundantally, they had to stop the Magical Girls, or everything would be ruined.
How many thods remained without the Lonely Island Cage?
He glanced at a corner of the battlefield:
Domain magic was continuously slaughtering the Codena Holy Relics, and Dandelion, who hadn't shown herself from beginning to end, could always precisely target enemies. Thanks to this, reinforcents couldn't provide long-range fire coverage because they couldn't aim at an area wrapped in a starry sky map.
On the other side, Pharaoh's Ten Plagues were fading—clearly a lazy worm who worked without effort, fleeing when things looked bad. Once one more Pseudo Magnetic Field was liberated, it would be over.
As for the Catastrophic Disaster Beast battlefield, it was the most dangerous. The young Death God was no match for Hyacinth at all, already falling into a disadvantage.
These two controlled the entire battlefield's direction:
The silver-haired girl's figure constantly flickered—clearly traces of ti stopping, cut extrely fine, probably only in 0.001-second intervals—yet frequently launching attacks with Origin power. There were no magic attacks, specializing in single-target, high-output damage with no energy dissipation. Compared to other battlefield areas, it seed incredibly quiet. This ant all the energy was driven into the enemy's body, leaving even the vigorous Death God dizzy and unable to activate more tad Disaster Beasts.
The jungle edge was still fiercely contested—it should be the Codena Holy Relics, most reinforcents, and the Salvation Church's second-line forces clashing.
Those rcenary sisters, the traitor Pharmacist, and so unfamiliar sleepy-eyed girl...
Buzz!
At this mont, everyone suddenly stopped moving and looked up at the magic array floating in the air.
One had to admit the Salvation Church's technique specialists were quite formidable—even after all this turmoil, they accurately asured that the fairies were about to reach critical phenonon.
Results within an hour.
The titable for asuring major events had been revealed to everyone. Next, the fairies would completely reach critical state, and obviously they were on the Magical Girls' side. If they joined forces, there would be no chance of victory here.
Chariot said word by word: "You're really crazy enough. Then I'll go all out too. Let's gamble our lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed a button on a signal device and threw it on the ground, shattering it. Seeing this, everyone's faces changed drastically, because the symbol on it was nuclear weapons—the outco had finally arrived.
"A bunch of guys who've fought themselves senseless." Tulip cursed from mid-air, then shouted: "According to plan, I'm also sending a signal—"
The strongest elental magic Pseudo Magnetic Field suddenly erupted with intense electromagnetic waves, crossing the entire Congo territory at light speed, the powerful energy level even penetrating three hundred ters of seawater.
At the sa ti, Hibiscus raised her right hand: "Everyone disengage from battle and rally to ."
Indian Ocean.
In a nuclear submarine's command room, Xiang Yunwei anxiously slapped the sonar instrunts.
"There are too many anti-submarine aircraft around us. If we surface to launch, we'll definitely be discovered."
"Don't make noise." Hydrangea was arranging calculation rods in rows on the floor. "Evaluating exactly where to strike is my task—I don't care about anything else. But I have to say sothing: the Church doesn't have just one nuclear submarine anyway. You can't catch wolves without sacrificing the child. Right, Captain?"
"Forget it—surface."
The Magical Girls imdiately entered shallow waters with anxiety, but the imagined anti-submarine encirclent didn't appear. Instead, a round of artillery coverage dispersed the enemies.
Hermit Island was within the covering fire circle. The mont they received the electromagnetic wave signal, they understood the Ancient Holy Relics were desperate, leaving no room for hesitation—they had to go all out to cover their teammates.
Taking this opportunity, the nuclear submarine successfully surfaced to launch depth.
Hydrangea grabbed a handful of calculation rods and hurriedly reported coordinates to Xiang Yunwei. The group quickly cross-checked and completed calibration.
Thanks to many components actually being replaced with magic power, the operation was quite fast. With just a muffled thud, the ballistic missile ejected from the hull, then leaped out of the water surface and ignited, flying away toward the Congo jungle.
What also took effect was the possibility constrained by Causality Magic's Equivalent Exchange—though extrely risky, they had no choice but to play big.
Swoosh!
The trajectory lines sped away and disappeared at the horizon.
Faster than them were intercontinental ballistic missiles firing from the South African direction.
The lively sky routes triggered radar signals worldwide to sound frantic alarms. What did two waves of nuclear strike forces taking off without warning or notification represent? Everyone was terrified, as current technology levels couldn't even discuss interception. One could imagine that even tropical rainforests would beco seas of fire. Of course, more people chose imdiate shelter to avoid accidental discharge starting a series of nuclear wars.
But they absolutely never imagined this developnt: nuclear missiles from the Madagascar direction intercepted the South African missiles mid-trajectory, detonating them directly at high altitude.
The massive mushroom cloud in the upper atmosphere represented the terrifying explosion occurring—nuclear explosion had been used to contain nuclear explosion.
Underground nuclear bunker.
Bull, obediently hiding inside, stared at the satellite footage dumbfounded: "From a technical perspective, is this feasible? How was the interception so precise?"
Croft answered seriously: "Theoretically, of course it's possible, but there are too many variable factors—current technical conditions make it very difficult. There must have been so ability that reduced variables, enabling successful interception."
"Regardless, it was the Holy City Association that initiated nuclear strikes first. This is too crazy."
"We still have to thank the Church for blocking the attack."
"Don't celebrate too early—save congratulations for the winner." The cald Bull pointed at the satellite map. "Look, there's still one that slipped through."
Hearing this, the entire bunker war room felt like falling into an ice cave. Everyone couldn't help but feel chills down their spines, unable to imagine the consequences to follow. No matter what, this batch of Ancient Holy Relics and Magical Girls were now locked in mortal combat—the two groups had to fight to the death. But most likely they'd all be wiped out together.
If the world's two largest transcendent organizations both suffered heavy losses, how much strength would humanity have left?
High above the Congo forest.
Everyone distanced themselves from the battlefield at maximum speed. Their movents were indeed quite fast, easily breaking the sound barrier to pull away. Unfortunately, at this ti the lucky survivors that had bypassed layers of interception finally arrived here—clearly multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle warheads in terminal dive, whistling straight toward the battlefield.
At the critical mont, the Magical Girls finished rallying around Hibiscus. Glancing to confirm everyone was present—finally, no casualties.
She shouted: "React according to the contingency plan—"
Boom!
The first nuclear bomb exploded while the electromagnetic storm barrier unhesitatingly repelled its energy. However, the collision itself counted as a type of damage—shock waves from both sides clashed, tidal surges sweeping in all directions.
Then the second and third had their power reduced. Starting from the fourth, Hibiscus took action—Temporal Cross-Section swept over, cutting and destroying two ballistic missiles, causing their ti to beco chaotic.
Next, Small Universe and Transient State domains alternately sealed and led everyone in rapid movent.
The Salvation Church battle group moved fast enough—not just fast, and fighting while retreating with seamless magical attack cooperation, they forcibly cleared out six nuclear bombs that couldn't detonate.
However, the remaining two explosions were equally formidable.
Their successive explosions stirred ultra-high energy heat that burned the sky and boiled the sea. The tropical rainforest was ignited, the earth crystallized, forcibly tearing open a teor crater. The air-burst scattered light cooked countless creatures alive—these deadly absolute kill zones overlapped each other, vowing to annihilate all enemies.
"Leap forward."
Hibiscus flicked her finger, and ti slashes swept over all the Magical Girls, completely isolating several people outside of ti, exempting them from the most lethal round of attacks.
This ti she exerted her full strength, leaping a full 30 seconds, but it still couldn't be considered safe.
The ultimate weapon condensing the fruits of human civilization wasn't simple—its deadly nuclear radiation and high temperature-pressure continued spreading, and they could hardly judge whether there would be follow-ups. They had to preserve their condition as much as possible in the first strike.
Ruan Xinyue patted her companions' shoulders one by one: "Now read and save body status."
The second ti magic activated, reverting all mbers' conditions to optimal. Taking this opportunity, they completed the reset—more effective than any support asures.
Another who took action was Ruan Manyue, responsible for taking over Dandelion and Jasminum's domain movent. She swung her hand and violently pounded the air, forming door after door connecting to each other. Seeing this, the group passed through the doors one by one, using this to complete ultra-fast linear movent. Anyway, this wasn't combat status—getting as far away as possible was enough. The Space Magic Door-Knocker was just right for this.
Of course, during this period, World Serpent continuously coiled around them for protection, Pseudo Magnetic Field's electromagnetic barrier, Fortune and Misfortune's blessing...
At least the Growth Stage Magical Girls' mutual cooperation ford a super defense line. Now they could only absolutely trust their companions—this was the result of being tempered through countless Disaster Beast wars.
Rumble—
The shock wave's roar obviously dropped a huge level, leaving only aftershocks.
After continuously moving 30 kiloters out, everything visible was scorched earth, hissing with smoke, black ash falling from the sky. Breathing was very dry and hot, dust blocking out the sun.
One could imagine the mighty army was completely annihilated—the Association was ruthless enough to attack their own soldiers.
At the current stage, the lethality was a forbidden zone for the vast majority of creatures, but for top Magical Girls' physiques, it was sufficient to resist. re high temperature, high pressure, and nuclear radiation could be withstood by Regalia. The key was how much strength the enemy retained?
"Since they used nuclear bombs, they definitely have corresponding contingency plans. Be careful, everyone protect your teammates." Hibiscus reminded.
With her leading, the Magical Girls covered their companions—mainly the Ruan sisters, Jasminum, and Kale should be safe.
Crack!
Suddenly the ground layer lifted a corner, and Chariot appeared with a group of Holy Relics, completely unhard. Besides pre-prepared shelters, they also had their respective prepared abilities. Surviving aerial nuclear bomb explosions wasn't difficult. Therefore, all mbers survived, and their energy reactions weren't low—obviously still capable of battle.
"Not bad, worthy of the Salvation Church—you can even block such sudden attacks!" Chariot's tone shifted: "How about it? We can launch several more similar attacks."
"Stop trying to scare people. Why do you think only this many missiles ca?"
Hibiscus retorted, silencing the opponent.
Originally they harbored the delusion of completely annihilating the Salvation Church with one round of nuclear coverage, but it didn't succeed. Instead, they left a ss—wasn't that embarrassing? Now the situation was dangerous, because the greatest risk actually ca from politics. Making such a big commotion while failing to settle things—wave-like pressure would crush the South African Special Theater, and bloody storms would definitely be inevitable afterward.
All this was premised on them returning alive, and now no one knew through what ans the Church had intercepted so many nuclear bombs.
There were no follow-ups—they couldn't count on them. All factions would apply extre pressure to prevent a second round of nuclear strikes from launching. Besides, even if they repeated the sa trick, would it work? Look at the Magical Girls' performance—they obviously ca prepared, insanely having prepared nuclear war contingency plans.
Really troubleso.
Both sides raised their threat level assessnts of each other by one grade, gritting their teeth but unable to advance.
After a long sigh, Chariot lanted: "Indeed, you were better prepared. Unfortunately, we've always held the initiative. If you don't believe , look at the fairy teleportation array?"
Following his pointing finger, the World Tree totem array was half-collapsed.
It was repairing, but slowly.
There was no doubt fairies would definitely reach critical state today—after all, such a rare period of weak world barriers couldn't be missed. The key was that ti had been delayed. After the violent nuclear bombardnt, the technique was damaged and couldn't keep schedule.
In other words, the originally planned cooperation between Magical Girls and fairies was interrupted, with both sides fighting separately on parallel lines.
The Church group's faces darkened—they had to admit this move was indeed disgusting.
Chariot said quietly: "Reinforcents? They don't exist. I, you Hyacinth, and everyone here are all gladiators in the arena—don't think about leaving. This is total war between the Salvation Church and Holy City Association. Others can't interfere."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped the ground. Magic arrays buried deep in rock layers awakened, humming as they divided different areas and forcibly scattered everyone.
"Tulip, you go support the second team." Seeing this, Hibiscus decisively ordered her to protect the weak point.
"Understood."
The red-haired girl transford into lightning and left with several people. Magical Girls who hadn't reached Blooming Stage had difficulty in prolonged battles—actually, they had already started declining in combat effectiveness after the previous consumption, risking becoming breakthrough points. They should maintain distance from the battlefield center. Sure enough, Codena Holy Relics also went to pursue. Fortunately, after the nuclear bombardnt, Ten Plagues temporarily subsided—otherwise the domain advantage from Pharaoh would be very troubleso.
Suddenly a roar echoed through the nine heavens. The massive Catastrophic Disaster Beast skeleton rapidly absorbed flesh and blood, condensing into form—clearly becoming complete.
"I never said I could only absorb Disaster Beast nutrients, right?" Death God's proud declaration made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
At the sa ti, the ghost girl had already dissipated and decomposed to only her upper body floating, but the thick Knowledge Poison was even stronger. Now her eyes had lost human spiritual light, just staring fixedly at Jin Ruochu.
"Stay away from —I hate non-corporeal guys." The pink-haired girl crossed her arms over her chest.
"Die—"
Next, the ghost girl lunged, knocking her flying. The two entered the forest depths, grappling. Every strike stirred storms comparable to natural disasters.
As a veteran Ancient Holy Relic, her liberation threshold was already very dangerous, and the power she erupted was equally lethal.
"I'll handle the Catastrophic Disaster Beast."
Beyond everyone's expectations, Magical Girl Hyacinth showed no concern about Crimson Tsunami's renewed vitality—she even had a hint of anticipation.
Through system task prompts, Hibiscus had long guessed that Catastrophic Disaster Beast Crimson Tsunami would make a move, and it would be quite difficult—otherwise how could the rewards be so generous? Within expectations—at worst, a hard battle.
Her previous obstruction of Death God was just doing her best—if unsuccessful, she'd just collect the reward.
Her calm performance made everyone's hearts tighten. How was this possible? Could everything be within the prophet's perception range?
How much had been foreseen?
The Holy Relics suppressed a thought: so far, everything was within Ti Prophecy observation. Otherwise, how could the Salvation Church's responses be explained?
Ignoring those shocked gazes, the silver-haired girl turned toward the massive Disaster Beast. The super whale, which was absorbing flesh and blood, also cast its gaze over. Its mountain-like figure stood up, blocking out the sun. Shadow enveloped Hibiscus's petite form. Both sides locked onto each other's aura, imdiately finding the most threatening enemy present. Yes, the full strength preserved until now was to welco you—no retreat, no surrender.
"No, we must stop her." Chariot murmured: "Hyacinth probably has a way to deal with your puppet."
Death God was stunned, unable to believe it.
Suddenly Nan Zhiyi stepped forward, her imposing presence covering the silver-haired girl's back. She said coldly: "I'll answer for Hyacinth—there's no so-called targeted thod, only strength itself. Strongest since awakening, will continue standing at the peak afterward. A forr loser's remains doesn't even qualify as a stumbling block."
"Well said." Amid loud laughter, Jin Yulu's half-dragon transformation expanded another circle.
They firmly blocked the path to the Catastrophic Disaster Beast testing ground, their montum soaring, their presence boundless. Hard to imagine the two had just experienced intense, high-intensity combat.
Ordinary Blooming Stage Magical Girls couldn't do this—this was thanks to usual accumulation, the complete blooming of geniuses' talent, pushing their strength to new heights, reaching perfection.
"Since the fairies can't co, then I'll crush you."
"Preposterous boasting."
The angry Chariot firmly caught Jin Yulu's punch, blocking with his forearm then counterattacking, hitting the enemy's temple but not dodging or avoiding.
World Serpent had completely abandoned defense—rain-like attacks fell on her body, each strike making the relic's magic power absorption waver continuously.
How many years had it been? It had been a long ti since feeling even a trace of life-or-death crisis. At this mont, Chariot understood the opponent's tactics—using the sa magic power absorption characteristics to have a chanism showdown with him. How was this possible? Where was World Serpent's evolution limit?
What had no limit was Magical Girl Jin Yulu. Now her head, arms, tail, knees—her entire body had beco weapons attacking unexpectedly, her techniques reaching perfection.
He saw no trace of an inexperienced little girl's immaturity—instead, it was sublimation after being tempered countless tis. Giving no breathing room, in a blink, that evolved body had seen through the relic's defense.
Clang!
Suddenly a tail sweep viciously hit his waist and abdon. This ti it penetrated Chariot's energy weakening and even magic power protection—a sharp pain ca.
The next mont, the tail fitting the wound actually grew thorn-like spikes like a stegosaurus.
The powerful evolved part from World Serpent's main body unhesitatingly pierced through his body. Even Ancient Holy Relics faced the strongest Mythology Magic with fragile flesh. Blood flowed imdiately, and a thorn even penetrated from his chin through his tongue, making his voice unclear:
"Then complete liberation."
"A wise decision, but it won't change the outco." Before she finished speaking, Jin Yulu opened her mouth and spat—dragon breath collided with artillery magic power, then pushed back and exploded.
However, Chariot was faster, deflecting the trajectory and stepping forward in one motion. The magic power blade in his hand surged, slashing out a fan-shaped brilliance that vaporized acres of jungle. As the target, Jin Yulu had a huge gash from shoulder to waist—not just cut, but the wounded area was annihilated. Such severe damage made her temporarily stop moving, even her life aura plumting.
Seeing this, Chariot didn't dare be careless, imdiately condensing his last trace of magic power to prepare for the decisive blow—he couldn't drag it out against Mythology Magic.
He was too tired, actually already at the end of his rope.
As frontline commander, he had basically fought from beginning to end. He could handle ordinary high-level Disaster Beasts' vitality, but couldn't settle the Magical Girls.
The situation was terrible.
The Salvation Church indeed ca prepared—even several ambushes weren't enough. They had to reduce their numbers to break the strength balance.
Unfortunately, next Chariot witnessed a despairing scene: the wound of the previously dying Jin Yulu regrew bones, flesh, and was covered with skin and even sturdier scales. She rose from her half-kneeling position and shrugged her shoulders, smiling sweetly.
"Don't look at like this—I actually almost died. After all, you injected a lot of Knowledge Poison. Too bad, just a little short. In the end, battle is about results."
Accompanying her words was the sound of wind. With his battle-hardened experience, Chariot imdiately thought to dodge left, but unfortunately his tired body issued insubordinate protests, his feet hesitating for an instant.
A heart-piercing punch moved from abdon up to internal organs, blasting blood plasma out his back.
"Not so easy!" The roaring Chariot hugged Jin Yulu's body and threw her hard—the ground rumbled and collapsed.
He had to use all his strength to restrain the enemy.
Little did he know Jin Yulu preferred desperate fighting styles. Seeing the enemy's determination, she beca even more excited. Her hands grew claws that viciously grabbed Chariot's wounds, forcibly tearing open his abdominal cavity, blood flowing everywhere mixed with organ fragnts.
Crack!
Chariot, forming a chokehold, exerted force on Jin Yulu's neck joint—like a guillotine. However, the latter turned her head at an unimaginable angle with a face full of mockery.
"Poor intelligence work—didn't you know Blooming Stage Magical Girls have no weaknesses?"
"I know, but I poisoned you."
"Too bad it doesn't work."
The next mont she transford into a python wrapping around the enemy—clearly coiling around a small mountain with the shocked Ancient Holy Relic in the center. He distinctly felt those scales standing upright like hundreds of blades piercing flesh. Then Chariot thought of a terrifying possibility and suddenly stopped struggling, staring blankly at the snake head above. The other party grinned.
"Guy who uses fairy molts—I guarantee you'll have nothing left."
The serpent body suddenly began rotating, the fine blade-like scales turning it into a at grinder madly attacking the controlled target.
A few minutes ago this move would have been useless, but Chariot had already consud too much, his strength rapidly declining. The first Ancient Holy Relic on scene had fought the entire battle and t the most enduring opponent, finally slackening.
In an instant, skin was peeled away and flesh flew.
The fragile flesh that lost magic power protection was as weak as paper before World Serpent. Jin Yulu raised her head high and tightened her grip, the suspended blade-like scales dismbering the opponent into minced at.
The Knowledge Poison that escaped without any spirituality represented an Ancient Holy Relic's fall—death without an intact corpse.
