Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 68
The bodies were retrieved by Jiang Si.
The rescue team only found a few mutilated torsos. It was Jiang Si who went to the place where their parents died and gathered the remaining broken pieces.
Because Keke kept saying those tattered, shattered bodies weren't her parents, Jiang Si forcibly followed the rescue vehicle back to the accident site that afternoon.
He even retrieved the small section of their father's chin that had been sliced off.
He placed the remaining body parts in plastic bags and casually threw them in front of her, like large pork ribs bought from the street market.
He wanted Keke to understand that their parents were truly gone.
At that time, she just held Jiang Si tightly and cried.
She wanted to get comfort from him, to feel the same emotions that might ease her pain.
But no matter how long she cried, when she looked up, she would only see Jiang Si's indifferent expression.
When they left the convalescent home, Jiang Si didn't even want to hold a funeral, just wanting to bury them casually and be done with it.
It was their relatives who made the arrangements and organized a funeral for their parents.
At the funeral, the relatives kept pulling Jiang Si aside to talk, and he dealt with them with visible impatience.
He didn't care about the funeral, didn't care about their parents' bodies, and cared even less about these relatives with whom he had little emotional connection.
At that time, Keke was in the mourning hall with their parents' bodies, lying over the coffin and crying continuously. She didn't remember many things clearly.
Only when she returned here again did she see Jiang Si arguing with the relatives.
Even when arguing, Jiang Si's expression wasn't particularly agitated. He just looked cold, with a hint of annoyance, refuting the relatives' demands word by word.
Finally, she didn't know what Second Uncle said, while all the surrounding relatives were nodding in agreement.
Keke saw Jiang Si pull a fruit knife from his pocket, grab Second Uncle's hand, and stab directly through it.
At first, Second Uncle was furious and reached out to slap him, but Jiang Si just pulled on the fruit knife, dragging it forward. Amid Second Uncle's screams, the stab wound in his palm widened, and then Jiang Si nailed his entire hand firmly to the table.
When others stood up to try and stop Jiang Si, he pulled another knife from his pocket.
His face was splattered with blood from Second Uncle's hand, which he didn't even wipe off.
Not agitated, not angry, just as if he had done the most ordinary thing, he calmly and indifferently scanned the other relatives who wanted to rush at him.
In the end, the relatives sat back down.
Keke didn't know about these events.
Because she was in the mourning hall at the time, still immersed in the pain of losing her parents.
How Jiang Si negotiated with the relatives, how he managed to keep half of the inheritance, and how he refused adoption by others.
Keke knew nothing about it, and Jiang Si never told her what he had done.
That person was unwilling to explain anything to her.
When she came back to her senses, Keke looked at her parents in the coffin.
Her nose stung.
Even though she knew it was the past, even though she knew it was an illusion.
Grief and pain still uncontrollably flooded her entire being.
From now on, she would never see her parents again.
Overwhelming emotions from outside and within, like tidal waves, completely capsized her. She could only do as before, holding the coffin, continuously telling her parents, who could no longer hear, about her grievances and suffering over the past three years.
Keke really misses you, Keke really wants to see you.
Why was it me who caused your deaths...
Longing and guilt transformed into the darkest desires and resentment.
Keke knew the Witch Association captain must have done something; the endless stream of dark magic pouring into her mind made her emotions completely collapse.
That overwhelming negative emotion, which even made her feel nauseous and pained, gave Keke a sense of atonement-like relief.
When she truly confirmed that her parents were killed because of her; when their bodies were brought before her, seeing the stitching marks that even heavy makeup couldn't conceal, their tattered, incomplete state...
She couldn't muster any strength or desire to resist, no matter what.
She just let the dark emotions dominate her.
Forget everything.
Die, die, die, just die...
"How long are you going to cry over two lumps of dead meat."
A cold voice came from behind, like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
Freezing all her emotions.
"If you want to die, get outside."
When the captain climbed to the second floor, Jiang Si below had already kicked a small car flying over!
The car exploded directly on the second floor. The blast sent the captain flying, and the vines around him were ignited in the explosion, forcing him to shake them off first.
How could such a monster exist..
There were never few in the Witch Association who used Polluted Magic. How to utilize it and how much could be used—the Witch Association had detailed experimental data and records.
The captain knew better than anyone the normal human limit of endurance. Even after taking drugs, there was a limit to mental stress.
Exceeding this limit, no matter who it was, even if the body could withstand it, they would definitely go mad.
Polluted Magic wasn't something good; they only used this poison because they had no choice.
So most of the time, the Witch Association still relied on the power of Disaster Beasts and perfect witches like Twins.
But that thing below completely ignored the contamination and influence of Polluted Magic!
Boom!
Just as he reached the fourth floor, it shook as if about to collapse. The captain heard a huge noise below, looked up, and saw Jiang Si hovering in mid-air, grabbing the exposed steel bar of the fourth floor, about to jump in.
Gritting his teeth, a fierce glint appeared in his pupils.
The captain took a special transparent vine from his body and crushed it.
On the rooftop, the A-level Disaster Beast, which had been quietly lurking, finally moved.
Jiang Si just glanced up, and a thick whip instantly smashed him back to the ground!
Abandoning control of the A-level Disaster Beast also meant he could no longer use the vines.
If possible, the captain really didn't want to do this.
He couldn't control an A-level Disaster Beast currently. Suppressing its activity before its birth and transplanting part of its abilities for his own use was the safest and most reliable method for him.
Once the A-level Disaster Beast went out of control, he himself wouldn't be able to get out alive either.
But being chased and beaten like this by Jiang Si, if he didn't give up suppressing the A-level Disaster Beast, he would die here before he could return to control the witch!
As a core member of the Witch Association, he was actually being chased around by someone outside the Witch Association using Polluted Magic...
Could it be that I'm also trash?
He felt a bit of self-doubt, but soon, when the youth who had fallen below formed a terrifying spear of Polluted Magic and threw it at the Disaster Beast on the rooftop, piercing the terrifying A-level Disaster Beast.
The captain knew he was wrong.
It wasn't that he was weak; it was that the opponent was too abnor...
What kind of hellhole is Beihai? First the Azure Cloud Sect, and now a monster who uses Polluted Magic better than the Witch Association. Is this some kind of demon's den?
Why was he so blind back then to fight for this territory!
Thinking about how he fought desperately to seize this land in Beihai made him want to cry but have no tears.
But soon the captain steadied his mindset and looked up.
This level of injury was truly nothing to an A-level Disaster Beast.
The pierced vines just churned slightly, then rapidly cascaded down from the top of the building like a waterfall, completely covering the entire building!
The captain had to turn on his flashlight for illumination; otherwise, with collapsed walls and floors everywhere, along with various glass and steel debris, it was easy to get hurt.
Without the support of the vines, if he fell from above, he would die too.
He didn't know what Jiang Si did outside, but the entire building shook again.
But it soon calmed down.
No matter how much Jiang Si defied reason, he couldn't possibly be a match for an A-level Disaster Beast.
The problem was, what should he do after Jiang Si was dealt with?
The building was sealed off by the Disaster Beast. If the witch Keke couldn't be born, there would be no escape, and he would soon be absorbed as nourishment by the Disaster Beast!
Scrambling and crawling, he rushed near the Witch Egg. Fortunately, after the vine Disaster Beast enveloped the building, there was almost no shaking or danger left.
Seeing his hard work still steadily nurturing terrifying power, the captain slightly relaxed.
As long as the Witch Egg was growing normally, there was no problem.
As long as the born witch's level was high enough, with magic power reaching the Blooming level, controlling an A-level Disaster Beast wouldn't be difficult.
Moreover, as a precaution, the vines he inserted into Jiang Keke's body were independently controlled.
Even without the support of the A-level Disaster Beast, he could still manipulate this top-tier witch.
Finding a place to sit down nearby, amidst the rubble and ruins, the captain gazed at the Witch Egg with fanatical eyes.
Resources that could birth dozens of witches gathered in one—perhaps it wouldn't just be Blooming.
According to the Azure Cloud Sect's level classification, it might reach Blooming Peak Great Perfection!
Coupled with the A-level Disaster Beast, there would be no need to fear Shion anymore.
Remembering the Azure Cloud Sect's detailed level classification method, he had previously mentioned to other Witch Association members the rationality and superiority of their system.
But it was rejected, and many even treated him as a joke.
Now, as long as the witch Keke was born, he could return and show those bumpkins what Blooming Peak Great Perfection meant!
Change the Witch Association's level classification to the Azure Cloud Sect's system.
He could even refine the Disaster Beast level classification further, like A-level Peak Great Perfection...
This might be a historic revolution.
Because the Azure Cloud Sect only subdivides realms for Magical Girls but didn't correspondingly subdivide realms for Disaster Beasts.
Indeed, when it comes to understanding Disaster Beasts, our Witch Association is superior.
This way, the Witch Association finally wins against the Azure Cloud Sect once...
The slight vibrations gradually stopped. The captain snapped out of his daze, feeling reassured.
Jiang Si had most likely lost.
The vine Disaster Beast was not only ferocious but also somewhat evil. Even after defeating its prey, it wouldn't just eat it immediately but would play with it continuously until the prey had no resistance left, then slowly enjoy it.
After all, it was created using more than ten murderers as material.
Just as he was thinking about how to arrange work after returning, the Witch Egg suddenly twitched.
The captain immediately turned to stare at the Witch Egg that had finally shown movement.
Then, fine cracks began to spread across the surface of the Witch Egg.
Suppressing his inner ecstasy, seeing his long-cherished wish about to come true, the captain couldn't help but walk over and caress the Witch Egg.
"Good child, good child, I will treat you wholeheartedly from now on, absolutely won't let you suffer the slightest grievance..."
Murmurs like a mother's, promises like a father's, came from the captain's mouth.
And so, the cracks on the Witch Egg widened a bit more.
Pop.
A small hole appeared on the eggshell.
The captain watched nervously and expectantly as the hole gradually enlarged.
Then he felt a somewhat abnormal temperature streaming out from inside.
The Witch Egg used Polluted Magic; it shouldn't have temperature...
His thoughts were quickly interrupted as terrifying heat and flames surged out from the small hole!
The Witch Egg instantly exploded!
Even though he instinctively used Polluted Magic to protect himself, he was still sent flying, instantly crashing through a load-bearing column. If the vine Disaster Beast hadn't wrapped around the entire building and the vine wall hadn't stopped him,
that explosion would have blasted him out of the building!
Crackling sounds came from below him. Half of the captain's body felt numb, and his mind was somewhat dazed.
What happened? What's going on?
Struggling to lift his head, he saw Keke fall out of the Witch Egg, half of her body already transformed into a witch.
She kept vomiting large amounts of Polluted Magic, along with some vine threads.
Struggling, Keke supported herself on a broken pillar nearby and stood up, gasping for breath heavily.
The captain stared blankly: "You, how can you come out like this?"
While tearing at the witch's Magical Outfit on half her body, Keke tightly gripped her Miracle Seed.
"Who, who knows."
Her breathing was excessively heavy, as if Keke might run out of breath at any moment. The symptoms of witch transformation were still spreading: "Maybe it's because Jiang Si said I should die outside, not inside, because it's an eyesore."
"What nonsense are you talking about? That inside was an illusion constructed from my and your memories! How could your brother possibly affect you!"
"Like I said, who knows."
Keke held the Miracle Seed and let out a long sigh.
"Anyway, I still have to... thank you."
For a moment, the captain thought both siblings were quite polite.
At least they both expressed gratitude to him.
Seeing the witch transformation still continuing on Keke's body, he felt slightly reassured.
Even if out of control, a terrifying witch would still be born!
If he couldn't conquer Beihai, he could still destroy it.
It was still within his plan!
I still win!
"You showed me some things I didn't know. Thank you for recording so much."
As Keke spoke, the Miracle Seed in her hand burst into flames.
The captain's pupils contracted.
How was this possible? Able to mobilize magic power to transform under the influence of the white mist?
"I won't become a witch."
"I am a Magical Girl."
"Even if it brought me calamity, I think, it definitely, definitely can bring happiness to others."
"I want to use it to bring doubled happiness and miracles, to make up for the fault of its birth."
The witch's Magical Outfit on her body kept falling off, while crimson flames madly climbed over her.
The captain's pupils trembled. He wanted to get up, but after being blasted twice, he actually found it difficult to move.
The injuries from being beaten by Jiang Si earlier weren't completely without effect either. Even though he recovered using the Disaster Beast's power, his body's own functions would still decline...
He could only shout anxiously: "Stop! Do you want to die? A witch cannot coexist with a Magical Girl!"
"Then open your eyes wide and see clearly. The miracle of a Magical Girl, my miracle."
Polluted Magic and pure magic clashed. The skin on half of Keke's body kept tearing, blood flowing more and more. The blood on her forehead even blurred her vision.
The pain made her petite body tremble constantly. She sniffled, trying hard to hold back the tears that wanted to flow from the pain.
Still, she couldn't reach the point of being nonchalant like Jiang Si.
She didn't want to lose to him, but indeed, she still couldn't compare.
But, but, she also had things that he couldn't do.
Keke, with half her face stained red with blood, thought this as she raised the Miracle Seed in her blood-red vision:
"Embers reignite, with my broken body, become the blazing sun."
"Transformation."
Boom!
Polluted Magic and pure magic exploded again. In the burning flames, splattered blood evaporated.
Flame-red skirt and hair accessories blazed fiercely.
But only on one half.
The witch's Magical Outfit on the other half still refused to disappear, fighting with the Magical Girl's outfit for control over Keke's body.
Thus, the girl's movements became somewhat difficult. She staggered forward unsteadily; with each step, the witch's and Magical Girl's powers violently conflicted, making it hard for her to stand firm.
Magic power splattered like blood.
The witch's outfit began to drip down, while the Magical Girl's outfit gradually disappeared.
She tried hard to grip her Magic Wand, gathering magic power.
"I am... a Magical Girl."
Imitating her teacher's posture, she gripped the magic spear in her hand and aimed at the captain, who was already trying to crawl away.
"Magical Girl, Ruri!"
The next moment, a roaring crimson flame pierced through the vine wall!
Dripping melted marks edged the hole in the vine wall. The crimson spear tore through the mist-shrouded sky outside, blooming with a dazzling light like the sun!
A strike approaching Half-Step Blooming...
The captain, with half his body melted away, widened his eyes, reached out to touch his empty right side, and finally showed fear on his face.
"Wait, wait, if you kill me, you'll die too! You can't control an A-level Disaster Beast now. We can talk!"
Ruri gasped heavily. Just as she tried to gather magic power again, her body finally couldn't hold on, and the transformation was undone.
The Magical Girl transformation's protective effect still existed; she didn't have too many injuries on her body.
It was just that the damage from Polluted Magic to her body made Keke's condition still look quite bad.
But compared to the captain who had lost half his body, she was ultimately much better off.
"Alright, you have no strength now either. Can we talk? We're not enemies; there was always potential for cooperation. I've always pitied your circumstances, wanted to become your family..."
Keke pulled out a steel reinforcement bar from the rubble pile nearby.
Breathing rapidly, she dragged the long, heavy steel bar toward the captain, whose half body was already shattered.
The steel bar scraped against the rough concrete floor, making a harsh sound.
The captain trembled, wanting to retreat backward, but with half his body melted, moving was quite difficult.
"We, we can talk about your parents, right? Your parents wouldn't want to see you like this either..."
Keke was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"I saw my mom, at the very end. She was still so beautiful, so gentle..."
The Disaster Beast outside roared. The vine wall pierced by the flame spear gradually closed up again.
High temperature brought a scorched smell, along with the scent of blood, filling the building.
"Guess what she said to me at the end?"
Remaining flames flickered, illuminating the dark building, enveloping the two of them.
The girl tilted her head, with a hint of childish charm, raised the steel bar in her hand, aimed at the captain's head, and said softly, as if a mother's final instruction to her child.
"Be good, listen, close your eyes."
