Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 63

It's so quiet.

Sitting in the pitch-black basement, the captain stared at the empty crystal ball.

He suddenly remembered the last words Twins had spoken.

"Captain, being the last one all alone is so pitiful."

Although he didn't feel lonely, the Witch Association in Beihai was indeed completely alone now.

The question arose - could an organization with only one member still be considered an organization?

Thinking back to the beginning, the Beihai Witch Association was once thriving and full of vitality...

Forget it, that was too long ago. Ever since the Azure Cloud Sect began their activities three years ago, the Witch Association basically lost any connection to vitality.

Being filled with panic and anxiety was more like it.

One was a decades-old veteran magical aunt, experienced and extremely cautious, maintaining perfect attendance in Beihai for three years without being caught by the Azure Cloud Sect, even managing to ambush and injure Azure Cloud Sect disciples.

Truly remarkable battle achievements.

Yet when capturing Jiang Si, she got caught by Shion and died without leaving any survivors.

Jiazhuyao, the Witch Association's only mole within BH City's Disaster Control Bureau, required massive effort and time to develop, consuming who knows how many resources.

She successfully obtained three seeds and was preparing to send them out when Shion blocked the exit.

Getting headshot on the spot was bad enough, but only one of the three seeds made it out - the other two were completely snatched away by those Azure Cloud Sect bastards.

And the Disaster Control Bureau put all the blame on the Witch Association.

Other cities' Witch Associations even faced increased pressure.

Because their headquarters specifically warned Disaster Control Bureaus in major cities to protect Miracle Seeds and vigorously purge Witch Associations to prevent Miracle Seed theft.

Causing complete chaos.

Other city Witch Association leaders even began pressuring him, thinking he had obtained three Miracle Seeds but couldn't achieve anything with them, making things harder for other Witch Associations, suggesting he should hand over the Miracle Seeds to share the burden.

What could the captain say? Even if he claimed he only had one seed, no one would believe him.

Later he sent Twins to buy time, just asking her to cause trouble everywhere to attract attention from the Azure Cloud Sect and Disaster Control Bureau.

Twins had done this kind of work many times before, so it shouldn't have been a big deal...

Then she got blocked by Shion too.

Oh, that didn't matter anyway, since her identity was unclear to begin with. Getting blocked was whatever - the only person who wanted her dead unfortunately didn't die and got captured by the Disaster Control Bureau.

And who was that other one? The captain remembered there was a member who released a class B Disaster Beast at the Disaster Control Bureau, but forgot who it was.

This one was even more outrageous - went to find Shion to discuss cooperation.

The captain didn't know whether to laugh angrily or show respect.

But thinking about it carefully, it might have been because she couldn't escape and pretended to want cooperation.

To die with some dignity.

After all, he'd never seen anyone escape once Shion set her sights on them.

The only real pity was Twins.

Why the hell did you have to be the one who didn't die?

If everyone had died, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, since the Miracle Seed was obtained.

If Twins had died too, it would have been perfect.

But she actually managed to survive in Shion's hands.

Indeed, there must be something wrong with Twins' identity...

He thought with some resentment.

Were all those failed plans over the years her doing?

Damn Twins, now hiding in the Disaster Control Bureau where he can't do anything to her.

If Twins weren't a high-level witch sent as support from the Witch Association Research Institute, with a rank not lower than his own, the captain would have turned against her long ago.

Hateful Twins, hateful Shion, but everything was about to end...

Just as he took out his only received Miracle Seed, the crystal ball beside him lit up.

Revealing a crimson-haired woman.

Her pale purple lipstick and light red eye makeup around blue pupils looked rather glamorous, wearing a light-colored right-lapel top with exquisite embroidered floral and bird patterns along the shoulder seams, cuffs, and right lapel edges.

Possessing a strong exotic style.

"Yo, not dead yet, Captain." Several worms crawled across the red-haired woman's face as she smiled creepily, "I heard your Beihai branch is about to be completely wiped out by the Azure Cloud Sect."

"As long as I'm not dead, the Beihai Witch Association isn't completely wiped out."

The captain spoke calmly, "The others are just disposable materials anyway, you don't actually think I care about them, do you?"

"Really now? From your deployment in Beihai five years ago until now, all your initial arrangements have been completely shattered, right?"

"Everything is within the plan."

The captain remained composed, "I have my own rhythm, no need for you to worry."

"Hohoho, the Witch Association built over five years, an organization of hundreds, all slaughtered clean - and this was all within your plan?"

"Playing the big game means not caring about temporary gains and losses."

"You're playing this game too well - only one general piece left, how do you play next?"

"I have my own plans."

The red-haired woman on the other side laughed quite happily, "Not to criticize you, Captain, but back when you were in North China, you were the most outstanding among us, yet now you're the most down-and-out. Developing from scratch in a city that almost had no Magical Girls to begin with, only to be overtaken and beaten down by a free Magical Girl organization."

"If you're so amazing, come to Beihai yourself and show me how you'd develop it." The captain said coldly, "Stop making sarcastic remarks - have you ever seen Azure Cloud Sect disciples?"

"You don't think my Jiangming City has no Azure Cloud Sect Magical Girls, do you?"

The red-haired woman laughed, her pendant accessories jingling, "I admit they're quite vigilant, but their strength is just so-so. Although we haven't captured them, they've basically been driven out of Jiangming City by now. How powerful can an illegal Magical Girl organization really be? You should stop embarrassing yourself and becoming a laughingstock, Captain."

The captain didn't want to reveal anything more to her for the moment.

After all, no one understood better than him how vengeful the Azure Cloud Sect was, and how protective they were of their members.

Even outer sect disciples, or even peripheral personnel - if the Witch Association dared to touch them, endless retaliation would follow.

The BH City Witch Association's third branch was completely destroyed because they captured and interrogated Azure Cloud Sect peripheral personnel.

The person was captured in the morning, Shion arrived in the afternoon.

In less than an hour, all eighteen members of the third branch were completely dead.

Precisely because the Azure Cloud Sect was so protective and retaliatory, Dujuan's achievement of ambushing Azure Cloud Sect disciples and escaping unscathed was considered quite impressive.

Although the outcome made no difference in the end - she still died quite decisively.

But it was enough to prove Dujuan's true worth.

"Chilian, did you really injure Azure Cloud Sect disciples?"

To be safe, the captain specifically asked, "You're not just putting on a show and boasting to me, are you?"

The red-haired woman smiled disdainfully, "Why would I boast to you? Is there money in it? They're just a few rookie Magical Girls anyway. If the Disaster Control Bureau weren't in the way, we would have captured them long ago!"

"Pity, it would be even better if you could capture one."

The captain's words made Chilian pause in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing much, hehe, just hurry up and capture one back so I can see their strength."

"We'll capture one naturally in the future, no need for you to rush me."

The captain was already looking forward to Shion going to Jiangming City.

The suffering I've endured, others must experience it too!

"Stop changing the subject, Captain. Now that the Beihai Witch Association has been completely ruined by you, as a lone individual holding three Blooming-tier Miracle Seeds, it's such a waste - give me one."

"I said I only have one, so I only have one."

"Stop lying, who would believe that?"

"Believe it or not."

"If that's how you're going to be, then we have nothing more to discuss. You can struggle to death alone in Beihai. I want to see what you can possibly accomplish alone with three Miracle Seeds without anyone else's help!"

After cutting the connection, the captain rubbed his face.

Although he had no teammates left in BH City, facing the Azure Cloud Sect and Disaster Control Bureau alone as a solitary figure.

Although other cities' Witch Associations had basically turned against him over the Miracle Seed issue, unwilling to offer assistance.

But it didn't matter.

All preparations were complete, all sacrifices had value.

The captain picked up his only Miracle Seed, as extremely fine threads connected from all directions, winding around the Miracle Seed.

At the other end of each thread was a complete Disaster Beast egg!

"Come on, come on."

The captain stuffed the Miracle Seed into the bloody cross on his forehead!

"Revive, my beloved!"

"My proudest A-level Disaster Beast!"

......

After discussing the specific departure time and action plan, learning about Jiangming City's specific situation, and then sparring with Bai Mei, Jiang Si finally left the Azure Cloud Sect as the sky grew dim.

When he came out, he noticed fog had settled over the city.

Given Beihai's location and weather, fog forming at night was quite rare.

But as he headed home through the familiar southern district streets, he found the road severely congested.

Although the fog was quite widespread throughout the city, it was mostly thin fog that didn't significantly affect visibility.

It shouldn't have affected driving.

Seeing the traffic jam with many people and various drawn-out honking sounds piercing his ears, he could only shake his head.

The longer time passed, the more he felt cars were completely unnecessary for him.

Not only were they prone to traffic jams, but they were also particularly inconvenient - needing to find parking spots, some places even charging parking fees.

Once stuck in traffic, normal walking was faster than driving.

Moreover, even without traffic jams, they weren't faster than his running. For Jiang Si, buying a car would be pure money waste.

Not that he had money to buy a car anyway.

Jogging home, the fog carried a strangely sweet, cloying smell that felt uncomfortable to inhale.

When he returned home, he closed the windows and doors, turning on the air conditioner to adjust the air.

As usual, he heated food, and while eating, Keke emerged from her bedroom. Jiang Si glanced at her and casually asked, "Has Li Yi gone back?"

"Yeah, she said she needs to stay at the Disaster Control Bureau these days to get more familiar with security department work."

"Security department?"

Keke sat at the table and continued, "Since she can't transform anymore, she needs to stay in the security department and learn work knowledge from Senior Susan. This way she doesn't need to go home either, which is good for Yiyi."

"Oh."

After understanding, Jiang Si didn't say anything more.

Although in his view, that Li Yi clearly still had transformation ability - he didn't know why she claimed she couldn't transform anymore.

Probably already tired of the Magical Girl life, using this as an excuse to retire.

It was just somewhat wasteful of the Miracle Seed.

If she really didn't want to be a Magical Girl anymore, then Li Yi should have let Twins retrieve her own seed to make full use of it.

Thinking this, he didn't dwell on it.

He wasn't really that desperate for a Seedling-tier Miracle Seed anyway.

While eating, Keke surprisingly didn't go back, but instead sat at the table wearing her little bear slippers.

"I, I have something I want to ask you, Jiang Si."

"What?"

"It's, did you see Teacher Shion today?"

Thinking for a moment, Jiang Si nodded, "I saw her."

He had transformed and sparred with Bai Mei at the sect before returning, so it counted as seeing her.

"Then, did she mention me?"

Looking at Keke's somewhat expectant gaze, Jiang Si drank some water. "She did."

The little girl then became both happy and somewhat nervous, clenching her fists and lightly tapping the table, "Did she say I've gotten stronger? As a Magical Girl."

"No."

Jiang Si said without hesitation, "She said you're learning too many different things, not mastering any of them thoroughly. Imitation is indeed a convenient way to progress at first, but the higher you go, the more it depends on depth of mastery in one ability. Learning more things only gives you superficial knowledge that's useless."

The more Jiang Si spoke, the lower Keke's head drooped, until she finally lay completely on the table.

Looking completely dejected.

Thinking about it, there really was no need to be so harsh.

Jiang Si took out a piece of paper from his pocket, with handwriting done by Bingtang to avoid exposing any flaws, "This is Shion's advice for you. It says which skills suit you better and need further study and deep research, which skills don't suit you and need to be abandoned, and which skills can be kept as backups."

"Oh."

Keke took the paper, looking at the suggestions, and managed a weak smile, "Then thank Teacher Shion for me."

"Mm."

Jiang Si nodded, then recalled Keke's previous performance, "Oh, right, Shion also said your magic control precision has improved quite well, which surprised her somewhat. Keep working hard and maintain your progress."

Finally hearing some praise, Keke finally showed a somewhat relaxed smile.

Holding the paper, she said, "I put in a lot of effort to reach that level."

Although she was talking more, Jiang Si could tell Keke wasn't really speaking to him.

She was speaking to Shion through him.

It felt quite strange.

Keke bounced off to her bedroom to get her phone. When she came out, Jiang Si felt a strange sense of blurriness.

Rubbing his eyes, the blurriness disappeared.

"Oh, right, tomorrow, or possibly the day after, I need to go to neighboring Jiangming City. Be careful alone at home these couple days, remember to lock the door, don't lose anything. If necessary, you can call Li Yi over to stay together for convenience."

"I'll be fine alone."

Saying this, Keke hesitated slightly, then asked, "How long will you be gone?"

"Not sure, probably two or three days."

Getting up to wash and put away the dishes, just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard Keke say, "Come back early, don't leave me alone, Brother."

"Oh."

Holding the cleaned dishes, Jiang Si suddenly looked up at Keke.

"What did you just say?"

Keke tilted her head, seeming somewhat confused, "Come back early."

"The next part."

"Don't leave me alone, Brother."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Si said, "You called me wrong."

"What stupid thing are you saying, Brother." Keke said somewhat amused, "We..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Si "smacked" her across the face with a slap, causing immediate swelling.

Jiang Si said coldly: "Call me Dad."
