Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

Is there really no other way?

Not necessarily, there might still be a chance for things to turn around.

For some reason, Yuuki Yuuki suddenly remembered what the mysterious man had said.

You sacrifice yourself for them, and your sacrifice will also arouse Inuyama Hatsuki's anger. The power of magical girls is idealistic, and the desire for revenge is also a kind of wish, so I think the effect will be the same, right?

Yes, there is another person here who possesses immense magical power and the ability to contend with the liberation of gods.

It was Yuuki Yukino herself.

Yuuki Yuen remembers that the mysterious person said at the time, "I think the effect will be the same, right?"

In other words, the mysterious person had never seen such a route before, right?

If we give it a try, could we open up a new path?

No, I still have things I haven't finished. If I sacrifice myself like this, what will happen to my exoneration? My goal is to clear my name, not to die here protecting others.

Yuuki Yui felt that the mysterious man's assessment of her was very accurate; she was indeed a guy who only thought about herself. No matter what happened, her own safety was always her top priority.

Therefore, this is not acceptable. One should never sacrifice oneself to please others; such selfless behavior is meaningless.

Who should cover the retreat? Would Hong Moli be a better choice? If Hong Moli fails, then Bai Gui Qian You will...

No! We can't think like that! We must find a way!

Perhaps, that possibility exists...

Yes, she still has one thing she might be able to rely on.

"Run! Leave this to me." Yuuki Yuen had made up her mind and said in a low voice to the people around her.

But no one moved.

"Run! What are you waiting for?" Yuuki Yuen kicked Baqi hard.

"Little...no...if we run, what about you?" Baqi nervously pointed her gun at the other side, her breathing rapid as she watched the movements on the other side.

"The mysterious man said that the danger lies with Red and the Hundred Ghosts, so they won't do anything to me. Don't worry, I have a way to escape. You guys go first, and remember to protect yourselves."

Even Yuuki Yukino herself felt that this excuse was far-fetched.

"And you, you short, blond-haired bastard, believe me and run with them. Now is not the time for infighting."

Yuuki then turned her head slightly and spoke to Helica.

Yes, in this tense atmosphere, you absolutely cannot give others time to think things through. If they also have a thought about what you really want to do, then you really won't be able to escape.

Herlica didn't understand what Yuuki Yuki's intentions were, but it was precisely because she didn't understand that she could better comprehend Yuuki Yuki's desire to stay behind to cover the retreat or even sacrifice herself.

"What the hell are you thinking, you bastard...?"

No one moved; the stalemate continued.

We really can't delay any longer.

If they don't leave, I'll just have to force them to leave.

"run!"

Suddenly, the magical power around Yuuki Yuuki exploded, and a giant worm with tentacles growing all over its body rose from the ground, swinging its body and smashing into the nuns surrounding it. Its massive body crushed the stalls and the ground, filling the air with thick dust.

The Pain Twisting One, Yuuki En once used this skill as a whip in her battle with Koumori, but in order to create an opportunity, Yuuki En spent a completely different amount of magic power than that day, and the worm she created was also much larger.

The tense atmosphere was completely ignited by Yuuki Yuki, and Kuroba Reisei also moved again, wielding the longsword covered with runes in his hand and flapping his wings to launch a thrust. The Seraphim following closely behind screamed and shot out a thick black laser, which was blocked by the giant worm twisting its body.

"Run!" Helica gritted her teeth and gave the order to her companions.

Yuuki Yukino, already lacking in magic, now unleashed her full power, dodging Kuroba Reisei's attacks while causing swarms of tentacles to erupt towards him. The giant worm, battered and bruised by the laser, became entangled with the Seraph.

"Chase."

Kuroba Laisheng's words were concise and to the point. Sheng Shiyin tilted her head and shot straight into the smoke like an arrow released from a bow.

Damn it, if we let Sheng Shiyin go, what's the point of me staying here to cover the rear?

No wonder Hong Mo and the others risked their lives for them.

Since things have already come to this, I might as well give it my all.

Behind Yuuki Yuki, the giant hand of tentacles condensed into form in the air and slapped towards the approaching Seishin, causing the stone that Seishin was advancing to pause and retreat back to its original position.

Amidst the rising dust, several sounds of fighting came from behind Yuuki Yuki, likely from the nuns wielding wands. However, the sounds gradually faded away, indicating that they had indeed managed to escape.

Yuuki Yuuki dared not even dream of defeating Kuroba Reincarnation, but as long as she could stall for a little longer until the others ran far away, that would be her victory.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, apart from the enormous worm and the giant hand, Yuuki Yuuki was all alone—which was how it should have been.

The whistling wind rang in Yuuki Yukari's ears as the golden hammer swung out, forcing Seishin back to her original position just as she was about to slip through the gap in the giant hand.

The blonde girl wore a fanatical smile, her two sharp little fangs clenched tightly, and a sea of ​​electricity, as if about to boil, flowed around her, with lightning bolts constantly striking the ground from the sky.

"Hey! Who asked for your help? I'd be having trouble sleeping if I were saved by a filthy, shameless idiot like you who's wearing socks on his stomach and has no sense of style!"

Having forced Saint Shion back, Helica took a few quick steps, stepped on the worms controlled by Yuuki behind her, and leaped into the air. Her raised warhammer came down from the sky, smashing the huge eyeball that had been thrown into the air into the ground.

"Who wears socks on their stomach?! It's none of your business to say that!"

Yuuki Yukino had never felt so relieved, as if some knot in her heart had been untied in an instant. The tentacles that had been severed by Kuroba Reisei's sword grew back, piercing towards Kuroba Reisei's body like sharp spikes.

"Isn't it you, you perverted pink-haired tentacle woman?!"

The rolling thunder formed a barrier around the area, turning the neighborhood into an undisturbed arena.

"Alright, alright, is that how you see it?" Yuuki Yukina cracked her knuckles, making a series of popping sounds. "Then don't get in my way!"

"I should be the one saying that, you idiot!"

Chapter 105 I Can't Do Anything

Under the cover of night, several magical girls sped away from the festival site.

In the previous battles, they had held an absolute advantage for the vast majority of the time.

But the appearance of Seishin disrupted this situation, causing the balance of power to tilt in their favor.

They abandoned Yuuki Yuki and Helica there and ran away.

Opportunities are fleeting; if you miss them, you may never get another chance.

Everyone knew this, so when Yuuki Yuki created an opportunity for them, they escaped.

There was no communication between the two sides during the retreat. As soon as Mizuno Yu and Sakura Hanako's side broke out of the encirclement, they immediately turned around and ran in different directions.

Magical girls and corrupted magical girls definitely can't act together; the other side must think so too.

“Senpai…we…” Sakura Hanako flew behind Mizuno Yu with lingering fear, wanting to say something to Mizuno Yu but not knowing how to start.

Sakura Hanako's first battle was fierce, but it ended with Mizuno Yu defeating Yuuki Enishi and winning. In the second battle, even though Mizuno Yu almost let Kai go, she still managed to make two enemies flee in disarray.

Sakura Hanako's magical girl career consisted of only these two battles, and she won both of them.

She wasn't a complacent person, but these two victories were enough to somewhat confuse her understanding of magical girls.

She knew that Helica Tenrai was very strong, and she also knew that Yuuki Yuki was very strong after transforming. Mizuno Yu, Inuyama Tomoe... almost all the magical girls she had ever seen were stronger than her.

However, Sakura Hanako had no idea just how strong they were.

She didn't realize that the other party was so strong that she had to desperately try to escape.

In fact, Sakura Hanako had already vaguely realized it, but deep down she didn't want to believe it.

"Don't speak, find a secluded place to deactivate the transformation." Mizuno Yu's usually expressionless face was now filled with struggle.

Sakura Hanako had never seen Mizuno Yu show such an expression before, but that expression was enough to say a lot.

I may never see that noisy, sharp-tongued senior again, who was always the first to rush out despite his sharp tongue.

“But, Senior Tenrai, she still…” Sakura Hanako gritted her teeth, painfully squeezing out half a sentence.

It's too late to say this now, but Sakura Hanako felt that she absolutely had to say something.

In the end, all she could say were naive facts that everyone could see at a glance but no one wanted to mention.

“If we go back, all her efforts will have been in vain.”

Mizuno Yu increased her flight speed.

Sakura Hanako knew about this too.

Sakura Hanako felt something stuck in her chest and quickened her pace to catch up.

“That pink-haired tentacle woman stayed behind too. This matter may be far more complicated than we thought.” Without Sakura Hanako’s consent, Mizuno Yu grabbed Hanako’s arm, and the two of them landed in a nearby deserted cluster of buildings.

Upon landing, Mizuno Yu immediately deactivated her transformation. Sakura Hanako didn't know what Mizuno Yu wanted to do, but she did as she was told.

"I am also very unwilling, but this city needs more magical girls. If we want to defeat them in the end, we cannot be impulsive. We must live on with shame."

Mizuno Yu clenched her fists. Sakura Hanako knew her senior well; Mizuno Yu rarely did things like this to vent her emotions.

"That's precisely why we absolutely cannot afford to be wiped out there."

On the other side of the city, two flying magical girls and a girl who nimbly darted between buildings on all fours were also running wildly.

"Wait, we have to go back and save her!" Hyakki Chiyuu suddenly said.

“Her target is you and Hong. You absolutely cannot go back. It’s fine to leave her to Xiaoyuan,” Baqi replied quickly.

"Big Sister!" Hyakki Chiyu called out again.

“No! Your safety is more important.” Baqi refused decisively.

"Big sister, can't you tell she's lying?" Hong Moli's tone became more urgent as she sped up and flew to Baqi's side, who was rapidly jumping between the buildings.

But Chiyu, don't you understand? Even Inuyama Tomoe is lying now.

Is Inuyama Tomoe doing this for us, to perfect Yuuki Yukino's clumsy lie?

Now everyone understands, to some extent, what the mysterious person meant by the "choose one of two" and what Yuuki Yukino had planned at the time.

The mysterious person who said that Kuroba's goal in his next life was to be with Koumori and the others is completely unfounded and cannot withstand any scrutiny. If the atmosphere hadn't been so tense that no one had time to think, and if Yuuki hadn't taken the initiative to start a war and force them out of the battle, everyone would have realized what was going on in just a few more moments.

But in the end, Yuuki Yuki's plan was successful.

Hong Moli had a clear understanding of the whole story. It was caused by her impulsive falling out with Kuroba Reisei, and the innocent Yuuki Yukino should not have to bear the consequences.

In fact, last night, Hong Moli made up her mind that if she had to choose between herself and Hyakki Chiyuu to sacrifice, she would ask Yuuki Yuki to take Chiyuu away, even if it meant knocking Hyakki Chiyuu unconscious.
