Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 84
The revival gu's range wasn't large. From Shion's perspective, it was currently only within Jiangming City. Once leaving Jiangming City, the revival gu's ability would become ineffective.
Simply spreading magic power beyond Jiangming City, or even further away, could easily reveal this fact.
Moreover, the reversal time was very short. By comparing the magic consumption speed inside and outside Jiangming City, the reversal time could be precisely calculated.
It was seven minutes and thirty-six seconds.
She didn't know whether it was fixed at seven minutes thirty-six seconds, or if she had simply reversed time by only seven minutes thirty-six seconds.
But judging from the situation, Chilian probably wouldn't hold back when facing imminent death.
Of course, even without the differential comparison of magic power, Shion could still figure it out.
In fact, any reasonably experienced normal person should have thought of it the moment they saw the gu insects.
Spring Autumn Cicada.
After all, only elementary school students wouldn't have been exposed to, nor could they understand, such profound works.
Furthermore, she had already noticed something unusual when entering the Mirror World.
Every time she released magic power from her body and it touched the feedback from surrounding objects, she could delicately distinguish it.
The slight sense of abnormality from multiple magic releases was very obvious.
The reversal effect wasn't perfect.
As long as one's perception of magic power was sharp enough, Blooming-level Magical Girls should all detect some abnormalities.
And in the end, Chilian's performance showed no intention of pretending at all.
She was eagerly trying to activate something.
Unfortunately, her methods and thinking were still too shallow.
This is how people who haven't read web novels are—even if they obtain heavenly treasures, they still can't make the most of them.
Their methods of use are lacking, missing imagination and creativity.
Remember to read more web novels in your next life.
At the very least, learn how to fully utilize your own abilities to plan and scheme, just like her, Shion.
After all, even she herself, if not for the vast knowledge and innate wisdom gained through reading web novels, might have fallen here.
Who would have thought that a small city like Jiangming would contain such a rare treasure.
But whether it was Spring Autumn Cicada, Hundred Lives Book, or simply saving and loading, they all ultimately required activation time.
Activation by will, activation by death, or other methods.
For Shion, she had long formulated numerous countermeasures.
In web novels, the most common and troublesome cheats were always these kinds of death-defying rebirths.
Coming to a supernatural world without preparing countermeasures against such abilities, wanting to dominate for eternity was just wishful thinking.
Among them, using Bingtang's Profound Ice Cold to completely freeze the target's actions and thoughts was an extremely convenient and effective method.
With further development, Bingtang's Profound Ice Cold was becoming increasingly advanced in the concept of freezing.
Freezing magic power, locking down actions, even thoughts could be frozen.
But it wouldn't actually kill the target.
Looking at the purple mana crystal emitting cold air that sealed Chilian.
Although she had previously developed two magic properties of fire and water, this further property change of water turning to ice was the first time being used.
She helped develop Bingtang's various abilities, not because she was kind-hearted, simply helping Bingtang become stronger.
It was only because she needed Bingtang's various abilities.
Rather, the ability development of all the true disciples of Azure Cloud Sect was to create new skills for her. As long as it was a useful ability, she never minded taking it for her own use.
If observing carefully, one could feel an abnormal distortion of time flow on Chilian's body.
Her body's aging speed seemed to be accelerating, but some power was slowing down the aging process.
Walking to Chilian's side, she reached out and touched the magic crystal overflowing with cold air.
Chilian's entire body glowed with a faint purple light.
Magic threads like blood vessels permeated her entire body—blood vessels, internal organs, muscles, even the brain. The purple magic flowing throughout her body not only completely solidified her but also provided her with vitality.
After the gu insects spread throughout her body were filled with magic power, more and more threads became clearly visible, connecting to everything.
Eventually converging at her left eye.
Shion bent down, her eyes the same color as the ice crystal flashing. A small, inconspicuous gu insect was placed in Chilian's pupil.
This tiny gu insect was connected by countless threads to all the gu insects on Chilian's body.
And it had penetrated into her brain.
"Such a precious treasure."
Shion reached out her hand. The hard, cold purple ice crystal rapidly melted under her pale purple fingertips, flowing open to create a gap allowing her fingers to pass through until they pressed against Chilian's eye socket. "What a waste giving it to you."
First use magic power to replace the thread connections between this Spring Autumn Cicada and other gu insects, even using magic to replace some structures in Chilian's brain area.
Precisely and carefully maintaining the integrity of the entire structure.
The fair finger penetrated into the eye socket, turning crimson red, then pinched behind the eyeball, gently digging out the entire eyeball.
Ten minutes and thirteen seconds.
The ice crystal collapsed, the freezing effect ended.
Chilian, having regained movement, instantly knelt on the ground, clutching her bloody empty eye socket, letting out a piercing scream!
She covered her eye socket with one hand, blood mixed with gu insects and purple threads continuously flowing out from between her fingers. The screams gradually became hoarse and insane.
She quickly tried to activate her ability to reverse time, but found she could no longer activate it.
Her time had run out.
She had already, died of old age.
Her hair rapidly turned white, and her skin visibly wrinkled.
Losing the revival gu, the reversed time began to violently act on her!
Reversal wasn't without side effects—each reversal accumulated traces of time.
Perhaps at some unknown moment, when it burst out all at once, it would instantly take her life. But as long as she had the revival gu, she could keep pushing this time back until one day the accumulated time reached a point where even the revival gu was helpless.
But having lost the revival gu, just the currently accumulated time was enough to kill her!
Her body irreversibly aged, even decaying and growing maggots!
"Give it back to me!"
She screamed heart-wrenchingly, but her voice was already too hoarse to be recognizable.
Shion looked at the Spring Autumn Cicada in the eyeball. This tiny Spring Autumn Cicada struggled violently just like Chilian.
Then she realized something wasn't right.
This small gu insect hidden in the other's eyeball wasn't the Spring Autumn Cicada.
After completely extracting it, she could understand this gu insect's power. By circulating magic power, she would discover.
This gu insect's ability was to slow down the body's time flow, and with sufficient magic power, it could even make body time stand still.
It seemed the reversal power didn't come from the revival gu, but from Chilian herself.
She looked down at Chilian.
In her view, the woman before her was already an aged, decaying corpse. Yet some inexplicable power was forcibly supporting this corpse, still having enough strength to move.
The mysterious power appearing out of nowhere on the other reminded Shion of Iris's Mental Landscape.
But Chilian wasn't a Magical Girl.
"Give it back to me!"
Shaking her head, Shion simply clenched her fist violently!
The eyeball instantly disintegrated in her hand. In Chilian's remaining desperate eye, the small, fair hand slowly opened.
Only dust remained, scattering with the wind.
Not regrettable—on the path to enlightenment, one ultimately needs no external aids.
Just regrettable, losing the opportunity to imitate some of Azure Cloud Ancestor's methods...
"My, revival gu..."
Chilian's voice carried sobs, heart-wrenching!
"My revival gu ah!"
In just a short while, Chilian had already become white-haired, her body withered, almost dead.
She was the daughter of a Full Bloom Magical Girl, born with a miracle.
The power inherited from her mother could reverse time.
It was her mother's final gift to her.
The miracle gifted by a Magical Girl who stepped into Full Bloom, it could even be used without magic power.
But the drawback was that each use would rapidly increase her own time flow.
Actually, this was a limited ability that could only be used a few times. According to Chilian's own calculations, about seven to eight times would make her die of old age, so she had always used it very carefully.
Actually, she was only nineteen years old this year, but she looked as mature as someone almost thirty because she had used reversal once in earlier years.
If possible, she didn't want to use this ability.
Until in South China, she picked up those two Grief Seeds of complete witches.
One was refined into a soul-confusing gu that could control Magical Girls, one was refined into a revival gu that could fix her own time.
In the following years, she carefully used the revival gu to test her own reversal ability, finally confirming that as long as she had the revival gu's cooperation, her reversal ability could be used infinitely!
Because of the binding relationship between the two, Chilian basically referred to the reversal ability as the revival gu in her heart.
But even so, Chilian remained extremely careful.
No one knew how much accumulated reversal time the revival gu could withstand. In three years, she had used it less than ten times.
Each time was careful and cautious, afraid of being discovered.
And in fact, when confronting two Blooming Magical Girls, she never exposed it until the end.
It was after meeting this monster before her, in less than a day... no, less than an hour.
Thousands of times, she herself had lost count of how many reversals she had performed.
It wasn't that she was bold, but that if she didn't use it, she would die.
But fortunately, until the end, the revival gu could still hold on.
Until, the girl before her dug out the revival gu from her eye...
The aura of physical decay and death was so obvious. Although there was still an unclear warm power continuously preventing her body from aging.
But it was clearly a drop in the bucket.
In the end, until the very end, she couldn't get revenge...
She looked up at the girl aiming a magic spear at her.
And Chilian, prostrate on the ground, showed no fear at all. Looking up directly at the magic spear, she just screamed hysterically, "Mother shouldn't have protected you! It was because she protected you that mother stepped into Full Bloom, that she was killed by the Disaster Control Bureau!"
Countless Disaster Beast roars came from various places in Jiangming City!
Not just the northern part of the city originally operated by the Witch Association, but even the southern part controlled by the Disaster Control Bureau, simultaneously surged out large numbers of Disaster Beasts!
"It's all your fault! She died because of you! I want revenge against all of you, I want to kill everyone, kill the Disaster Control Bureau..."
The withered Chilian crawled forward a bit more, her face twisted and terrifying, "You all deserve to die!"
The Disaster Beasts appearing in every corner of Jiangming City were all class B Disaster Beasts.
Because A-level Disaster Beasts were uncontrollable and difficult to manufacture, Chilian had only made one.
So she raised only class B Disaster Beasts.
Spread throughout the city, all crowded places, and hard-to-inspect corners were filled with class B Disaster Beasts!
Originally intended as a final trump card to threaten the Disaster Control Bureau.
And in the end, whether successful or not, she could kill everyone, making the Disaster Control Bureau lose all reputation!
But this time, before she could even use it, she was already about to die.
So she simply released them all to destroy Jiangming City!
Everyone go die! Go die!
"You're the one who killed all of them!"
Even if she couldn't kill the Magical Girl before her, she would disgust her to death!
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she didn't see the purple girl's angry, anxious expression.
Instead, it was a somewhat appreciative smile.
Had to admit, even though driven to desperation by the other, to the point of hysteria.
When looking up and seeing that smiling face, Chilian still briefly lost herself.
Even her heightened emotions were somewhat smoothed.
What a face...
"Not bad."
The surrounding born class B Disaster Beasts charged toward the girl.
Shion simply flicked her finger slightly.
The surrounding Disaster Beasts instantly turned into puddles of magic liquid and splashed apart!
Then she looked at the Magical Girl, casually inserting the purple spear in her hand into the ground.
Magic power, like countless living tree roots, rushed madly along all the veins beneath the city's surface—roads, alleys, subway tunnels, underground pipes.
If looking down from above the city.
It was as if, centered on that small purple light, a huge spider web suddenly opened beneath the city!
Abrupt and swift!
Instantly encompassing all the land of Jiangming City.
The ground, buildings, and various structures were all covered with purple magic blood vessels, and these magic blood vessels similarly wrapped around all people and Disaster Beasts!
Underground warehouse.
Since Ruo Yun left, Qianjing had been taking her teacher to take shelter from the rain in the underground warehouse ruins.
When a group of class B Disaster Beasts suddenly gathered, Qianjing was both worried about Ruo Yun and concerned about how to deal with so many class B Disaster Beasts while protecting her teacher.
Then when the magic blood vessels instantly spread throughout her entire body, all those class B Disaster Beasts outside stopped moving.
"Teacher..."
Looking back, Bai Mei had kept her eyes closed the whole time, her expression calm. "Don't worry."
Smiling slightly, this Azure Cloud Sect's head senior sister comforted her gently, "Just quietly witness the majesty of our Azure Cloud Sect's Sect Master. Watch carefully, imprint it in your heart, firmly remember—this is the true strength of our Azure Cloud Sect!"
After Bai Mei finished speaking, the magic blood vessels on the ground that seemed to be breathing suddenly lit up. Beneath the feet of countless class B Disaster Beasts, huge magic stakes broke through the earth!
Piercing through all the class B magical beasts, hanging them up in the air!
"You must not stray from the right path like Ruo Yun."
Qianjing stared blankly at the purple magic blood vessels spread throughout the city, continuously skewering the class B Disaster Beasts, her tone fearful yet deeply yearning, "This, this is, the Sect Master's power??"
"Ruo Yun, you're really, so foolish ah..."
On the street.
Ruo Yun looked at the Disaster Beasts being easily skewered, took a deep breath.
Looked far toward the Disaster Control Bureau direction at the center of the magic power.
This is, the power of Saint Hall.
She knew all the Magical Girls in Jiangming City very well—the strongest was her teacher.
If her teacher couldn't achieve such power, then it meant no Magical Girl in Jiangming City could do such a thing.
Now in all of Jiangming City, the one who could use such terrifying power and wasn't a Magical Girl should only be one person.
Jiang the Demon Butcher.
Probably also power exchanged from Saint Hall. When fighting teacher, the Saint Hall operative indeed didn't go all out.
Actually, she could tell—when the Saint Hall operative fought her teacher, he always seemed at ease, always feeling like he had more tricks.
Although Ruo Yun's strength wasn't great, her teacher always praised her good judgment.
She could always accurately discern the target's strength.
She looked up at the thousands of hung class B Disaster Beasts, her gaze growing firmer.
"Teacher, I'm not wrong, you're the ones who are wrong. Even you, teacher, can never reach this realm."
"The realm that only by becoming a Saint Hall member can one reach!"
"I will definitely prove it to you, teacher!"
School parking lot.
After running through a group of Disaster Beasts, painstakingly returning the car, Twins hadn't had time to walk back when the purple magic blood vessels already blanketed all of Jiangming.
The huge explosion at the Disaster Control Bureau earlier had directly cleared the weather of the entire Jiangming City—she had seen it.
With the Witch Association at the Disaster Control Bureau already dead.
Next would be her turn!
"Thump thump thump" she kicked her legs frantically backing away, until she hit the wall.
"Twins was wrong Twins was wrong, don't kill me don't kill me don't kill me..."
The purple magic blood vessels on her body pulsating, Twins was terrified to death, feeling like timed bombs were attached to her body.
But she didn't dare move—if she moved, it would be even worse.
The more you resist, the more excited Sect Master gets about killing!
Then the magic blood vessels on the ground, walls, and surrounding class B Disaster Beasts pulsated together.
When she saw the magic blood vessels on the Disaster Beasts, Twins burst out crying with a "Waa" sound.
"Don't ah, Sect Master, I've bled for the sect, I've contributed to the sect, you can't kill me together with the Disaster Beasts ah, Lady Bingtang will be sad, killing me will also dirty your magic power, spare me..."
The next second, magic power instantly pierced through all the class B Disaster Beasts before her!
Polluted Magic splashed like rain!
"Yaaahhhh!"
Crying loudly, Twins hugged her entire body, "I don't want to be skewered ah, Sect Master!"
But after crying and making a fuss for a long time, frantically feeling all over her body, she found herself completely unharmed.
The crying gradually subsided, then she widened her eyes, looked around Jiangming City, and found only Disaster Beasts were being skewered.
Instantly beaming with joy.
"I knew Sect Master wouldn't kill indiscriminately, hehe, Twins will always follow Sect Master..."
But when getting up, she suddenly felt something wasn't quite right.
Quickly looked around for a restroom.
"Need, need to pee! Help!"
.......
The aged Chilian looked around at the skewered Disaster Beasts throughout the city.
Even if she couldn't see the entire city, she could sense how spectacular this scene was.
Some stakes pierced three or four not very powerful Disaster Beasts, like candied haws; some powerful Disaster Beasts were pierced by three or four light spears, like ingredients set up waiting to be roasted; some were pierced from head to tail; some were cut in half at the waist; some only had a head remaining; some had half their bodies still twitching.
The sky above the entire city turned into a huge execution ground. These Disaster Beasts densely pierced, hung above emitting weak low roars, gradually falling into complete silence.
Like some eerie forest.
Even though the sun shone brightly, one could only feel coldness.
The shadows of the Disaster Beasts lengthened on the ground, then began to melt.
The city's chaotic sounds began to increase.
The Grief Seeds after the Disaster Beasts' deaths continuously flew over, landing near the purple girl. Chilian coughed violently, staring blankly at her.
Captain, three years...
When Chilian struggled to speak, her voice was already aged beyond recognition.
"You, are you like mother, a Full Bloom Magical Girl?"
"Why, are you fine..."
Shion slightly raised her head, "Half-Step only."
"So that's how it is..."
She murmured, curling up her body.
As if returning to that day.
The most shining mother became a corpse, she alone in the room, curled up.
So cold, her whole body in pain.
She sought reasons from everyone why mother died, but no one gave her any.
Only one person told her mother died protecting everyone, and everyone would remember her.
But, what was the meaning?
Dead people were dead. Pretentiously talking about remembrance, actually just enjoying the fruits of mother protecting them with her life.
What use was compensating her? They couldn't compensate mother at all.
Chilian didn't need any compensation from the Disaster Control Bureau, she only wanted her mother to accompany her.
After mother died, everyone laughed as usual, ate as usual, drank as usual.
She was just always angry, always resentful!
There were always people persuading her to move on early, saying mother wouldn't want to see her like this.
Mother was dead, of course the living could say whatever they wanted.
It shouldn't be like this.
They should be the ones who died.
The one who should smile was mother, the one who should live peacefully should be mother the Magical Girl, not these weak and cowardly people.
Chilian wanted to kill them.
The ordinary people who caused mother's death, the Disaster Control Bureau, witches—she didn't want to spare any of them, kill them all, kill them all and send them to see mother.
Let those who should have died all go die!
She once had the chance to personally kill that comrade who caused mother's death, but that Magical Girl just threw away her seed, hugged her, kept crying and apologizing to her. Chilian clearly stabbed the knife into her chest, yet she didn't resist.
Chilian resented her weak self, fled the Disaster Control Bureau, fled the Magical Girls, in the Witch Association constantly torturing herself, training herself, making herself stronger.
Wanted to kill those who caused mother's death, take revenge against all enemies who made her lose mother!
At life's end, that warm power preventing her from dying of old age grew increasingly powerful, until it enveloped her.
Like when she was little, mother holding her.
"Mom..."
The aged woman murmured.
But truly, an illusory blue-white Magical Girl appeared on her body, gently holding her.
A blazing purple long spear fell.
Piercing through both the Magical Girl and the witch together!
