She's here!
For top-tier Magical Girls, macro-level magic power perception spans continents, detecting any irregularity in any corner and imdiately flying over. Currently, no aircraft can match this speed.
The massive puppet body exudes an oppressive presence, its magnificent power suppressing all directions—clearly harboring ill intent.
The puppet's inorganic expression releases red light from both eyes, firmly fixed on Hibiscus and Jin Yulu. In an instant, a rigid sensation spreads, and they suddenly lose all five senses.
"I can even control your lives—"
The next mont, in a flash of bewildernt, they see the silver-haired girl pulling her companion to transfer a thousand ters away, though the forr bleeds from all seven orifices, gasping for breath. Thanks to the powerful chanism of ti pause that severed the spread of control, forcibly breaking free ca at a price.
Half her face resembles a puppet, with chanical eyeballs swaying and bleeding. Her Origin cannot repel the effect, representing a terrifying fact:
Withering Stage.
Any Magical Girl who witnesses this imdiately understands—this is a 15-elent Withering Stage, the highest tier to date, incomparably the strongest in history. Now the world's limits have beco virtually aningless, allowing unrestricted display of power. Reigning supre, unstoppable.
Standing atop the puppet, Anemone laughs heartily: "Our era has co."
Soaring magic power rges into atmospheric circulation, dyeing the North Pacific sky in brilliant colors. Every living being trembles from their very core, experiencing life-tier suppression. Before such might, everyone is prey.
Predator's intimidation displays without hesitation, its spearhead aid at Hyacinth, directly targeting the so-called first throne.
At this mont, Lycoris and Erena breathe a sigh of relief, but haven't completely let their guard down, as the atmosphere around Anemone, who has reclaid her power for who knows how many tis, seems sowhat unstable.
Moreover, now is not the ti for showing off and competing for superiority...
"What is your treatnt plan for Erina?"
Unexpectedly, Hibiscus doesn't stray from the topic. Facing the aggressive posture, she still asks neither humbly nor arrogantly, as if she won't hesitate to teach a lesson if the answer is unsatisfactory. Can she manage it?
"Although it's regrettable, I chose Erena. As for the original body, let's preserve it through puppetization first. I'll make it very exquisite—you'll like it."
She glances at Erena, whose body goes limp as she sits down with her head lowered, saying nothing.
Nearby Lycoris quickly steps forward to support and comfort her, the atmosphere clearly not accepting this result willingly.
Buzz!
Simultaneously, Rabbit-ear Umbrella arrives with Ageratum and Cockscomb via teleportation. Surveying the surroundings and detecting the subtle situation, they don't overthink—anyway, unity against external threats cos first.
Rolling intimidation sweeps over—
The strong-willed Jin Yulu imdiately undergoes complete transformation. The World Serpent, whose size rivals the puppet, confronts the intimidation head-on. Though covered in wounds, her montum remains undiminished, her fighting spirit high and unyielding.
At this mont, Hibiscus raises an eyebrow, sensing Anemone's aura locking onto herself—it seems she must stay no matter what.
Simultaneously facing Obelisk's highest-tier combat forces, there's probably no chance.
But Salvation Church isn't to be trifled with either. The next mont, a door opens at the battle's center, with intense spatial fluctuations making their presence known.
Nan Zhiyi takes the lead stepping through the door while simultaneously activating domain projection to construct a field. Cooperating with her, Jin Ruochu fills the ocean and sky with natural disasters, followed by Tulip maintaining elental form to roam all directions while brewing electromagnetic cannons. Finally, Peony, responsible for teleportation, surveys the area with interest:
"All the strongest Magical Girls have gathered."
Never before in any era have all eight types' corresponding strongest magics been completely assembled—truly unprecedented. Unfortunately, both sides are hardly friendly.
The next mont, Anemone strikes first. Wisps of control threads represent her attempt to capture targets. The boundless intimidation from Withering Stage even impedes movent, and they're about to be hit.
Relative velocity!
Simultaneously, Nan Zhiyi doesn't waste the opportunity Hibiscus fought for, using gravity to forcibly distort the threads' trajectory.
However, imdiately after, they all develop various degrees of puppetization characteristics.
Jin Ruochu hurriedly shouts: "Don't worry too much! I'll use blessing to counteract the puppetization curse. You need to be careful of control threads—those things are conceptual and can even borrow the user's magic—"
Before she can finish, she's attacked by a complete heroic statue in front of her. Unknowingly, Valley of Kings has already unfolded within the small universe.
User Cockscomb cleverly exploits the utilization of single elents within the scenario, bypassing the True Self Domain's powerful ho field advantage while firmly adhering to one principle: when initiating team fights, restrict support first.
Swoosh!
Suddenly Rabbit-ear Umbrella appears beside her, pressing her shoulder for imdiate teleportation, but the shadow on the other side is equally fast.
The massive World Serpent suddenly performs a divine dragon tail sweep. Benefiting from its enormous size and Origin projection coverage expanding damage, even tily teleportation results in grazing wounds that shake internal organs.
Truly worthy of being the Magical Girl Emperor Flower—her reputation is well-deserved.
"I'll hold off this guy."
Before the words fade, Ageratum undergoes complete transformation, clearly a massive Cthulhu-like monster. Its enormous tentacled head is filled with eeriness. Wings flutter behind it, dispersing Knowledge Poison erosion that faintly exceeds powerful relic contamination—definitely true damage.
"Such a strange mythological transformation. You must also be top-tier." Seeing prey excites Jin Yulu as she withstands a tentacle sweep.
"Obelisk's upper echelons are all top-tier magic users. We are the chosen ones."
"Salvation Church is the sa. Looks like we should get along well."
The two behemoths colliding against each other seems to sound the charge. Except for Erena, who needs protection for her main body, and Lycoris, who assists her, the battlefield grows white-hot.
The mystery product of the strongest summoning magic—the Thousand-Ard, Hundred-Faced Puppet completely liberates. Countless joint-interwoven arms span the sky, absolute control unfolds. Making magic power solidify, making air solid, making everything submit to Anemone's dominion.
Crack crack crack!
The trembling flashing in their minds represents ntal attacks. That control can actually affect the soul level.
Facing this head-on are three Magical Girls: Hyacinth, Tulip, and Peony, barely managing to dodge and parry. Soon Anemone also understands why this configuration is indeed troubleso:
Space guarantees mobility—coming and going without trace, often catching opponents off guard.
Magnetic field guarantees output capability—at this mont, the super cannon blessed by the entire planet's magnetic field requires even her careful handling.
Ti guarantees error tolerance—several tis she nearly completed control only to be interrupted, or relied on pause gaps to neutralize power... clearly the first threat requiring strong suppression.
"Not bad, but not enough."
Anemone takes a deep breath as her regalia also extends the sa figure, various magical energies blessing her body. Her main body's combat power is sufficient for close combat with catastrophic Disaster Beasts.
The next mont, ultra-wide area control interference makes everyone's movents a beat slower, instantly approaching Hyacinth.
Hundreds of puppet hands spring blades to stab the silver-haired girl.
Ti Slice!
For powerful Magical Girls deciding victory in an instant, not giving Hibiscus a chance to activate pause, she can only offer up one damage immunity clone. That phantom suffers thousands of cuts right before her eyes.
Too fast—it seems to blend various magical energy blessings into the puppet body. Even being able to interfere with magic is the mystery of Puppet Show?
The so-called magic mysteries tend toward conceptual nature. Yes, the thinking is correct.
Before she can think further, Anemone pursues again.
Creating distance can rely on relative velocity to create gaps, still not using pause to avoid being caught in startup and recovery fras. Suddenly the sky darkens—it's the puppet face covering above, spitting out threads that cover Hibiscus in an instant.
Crack!
This ti the puppet regalia's blade completely penetrates her body. Against an enemy one tier higher, protective Origin and regalia blessings are nonexistent.
This isn't over. Taking advantage of the mont of life force loss and ntal collapse, puppet threads penetrate deep into her body. Her consciousness seems to beco a wandering soul breaking free, her entire body showing puppetization characteristics, moving with Anemone's gentle finger movents.
Every Magical Girl on the scene witnesses a silver-haired puppet body drooping limply, blood flowing like a stream, barely alive.
"I'll cover your rescue."
The nearest Tulip launches an attack—the planet's magnetic field cannon's incandescent light could reach the moon. However, it completely misses. Sohow it was Lycoris who used interference skills.
Though she still hasn't left Erena's side, one good strike was enough.
Peony, whose spatial teleportation was disrupted mid-activation, hesitates slightly, uncertain whether to rescue Tulip, whose old strength is exhausted, or Hyacinth, who's in mortal danger. But neither can be reached in ti.
Hundreds of puppet hands envelope the red-haired girl.
Caught off guard, Peony is similarly grabbed by puppets—these things cling to targets like strong glue, never letting go.
"It's useless." Anemone sneers, "You who haven't reached this realm don't understand the gap. We're on completely different levels—one in heaven, one on earth."
Disorientation!
Suddenly everyone instinctively looks toward sothing amiss, only to see Erena blinking at her empty hands while the main body is now in Hibiscus's embrace.
From the beginning, what was attacked was a Ti Slice clone. Several pauses were released by the main body, but it made people pay attention to misdirection. At the critical mont, revealing the flaw through one full-power pause secured the entire battlefield's most crucial elent.
Obelisk mbers' hearts shake—they're certain Hyacinth would never do anything useless.
[Completed Suggestion "Successfully Obtain Erina's Main Body" Reward Distributed: 600 Free Attribute Points, 2000 Exchange Points, Small Magic Advancent Stone Fragnt ×7, Large Enhancent Potion ×1]
As usual, evenly distributed to each attribute and consuming the enhancent potion.
Hibiscus now reaches an average of eight thousand points across all attributes—genuine Withering Stage stats, only lacking magic mysteries.
All or nothing!
Sensing trouble, Anemone commands the massive puppet monster to swing a crushing blow with overwhelming force, while the silver-haired girl returns Erina to Erena while simultaneously releasing an Origin projection punch. Two energies refuse to yield, fist against fist in contest.
Storms tear through vision, all phenona shatter. Everyone witnesses earth light phenona, like earthquake precursor warnings. Surging power shoots straight into the sky.
After one round, Hibiscus retreats several steps, but the puppet's one arm shatters—mutual victory and defeat.
Anemone is stunned. For the first ti in so many years, a Magical Girl easily receives this strike and counterattacks. Not bad. She shows appreciation, genuinely admiring this era's truly deserving genius—living up to her reputation.
"You deserve higher specifications—"
The strongest summoning magic Puppet Show operates further. More solid puppet threads restrict Peony and Tulip, while Obelisk's others contain Church mbers.
This battlefield should belong to her and Hyacinth. Defeating the world's number one would also facilitate sweeping away obstacles to impose rule.
Little does she know Hibiscus is at her limit. Regardless of the previous injuries plus the pain from enhancent, all affect her body. Just receiving that move was already very strenuous. She truly understands how domineering and heavy that Withering Stage force is, but she's already clearly sensed it.
"Since both Dream Painter and Puppet Show's mystery stages have conceptual nature, then it's right. I've already grasped the aura of this power..."
Going all in!
Right here, ascending to Withering Stage—and she'll claim all 15 elents at once.
After Anemone sees through the intention, she laughs heartily: "Crazy enough, but I won't wait for you to complete it. Surviving under strong enemies is also part of one's strength."
At this mont, Jin Ruochu, Jin Yulu, and Nan Zhiyi, unable to provide support, are nearly desperate, because that vast energy proclaims everything. Probably no one in the world can withstand it. Actually infusing Origin into summons—devastating.
Above the great ocean, wind and clouds gather. The magic power resonance from the highest-tier powerhouse seizes all might, concentrating it to one point.
The giant puppet completes preparation in an instant.
Hundreds of thousands of hands simultaneously strike, becoming afterimages. Each palm could annihilate a city district—combined power of all.
Ti pause.
The gray-white world gives Hibiscus a mont's respite—35 seconds maximum this ti.
Sands of Ti hasn't extended for a long ti. Change symbolizes magic opening higher-tier doors, but still insufficient to overturn the battle situation. Actually, Anemone also clearly knows she'll pause at the critical mont, so this strike prepares for dispelling—when pause ends, death follows.
Even Fairy Queen was once injured—what more a re Fruition Stage? So everything must be completely reshaped, letting Sands of Ti reach the pinnacle and claim supremacy.
Hibiscus grits her teeth, directly choosing to let Sands of Ti engulf herself, actively using her main body to bathe in energy, allowing dangerous spaceti carriers to invade skin, blood vessels, organs—everything, completely rging as one—
It's over.
Anemone strikes with full force, blasting energy outward.
However, unexpectedly, an equally astonishing magic power directly confronts with equal force. At the clash point, spaceti collapses and energy disorders while the world lies dormant for all this. Or rather, rejoices—the resonating magic power seems to cheer, to celebrate the birth of a new Withering Stage.
This era's first powerhouse to ascend to Magical Girls' highest tier appears—ascending to heaven in one step, unprecedented full elents.
Among the fragnts of over a thousand shattered puppet arms stands the silver-haired girl in military uniform regalia, completely receiving Puppet Show's deadly attack with spaceti power.
The next mont she points remotely, and Tulip and Peony are respectively enveloped by flowing sand to break free. It's regional pause—because ti flow rates differ, naturally tearing target objects easily to complete rescue.
"You avoided injury because you paused your own state in that instant, right?"
"Worthy of soone who has perused all magics."
Compared to those complex disputes, now Hibiscus and Anemone only want to settle their match.
