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

The reason why I felt a chill run through my body like an electric current...

It was that same magic, the terrifying magic she had felt in Helica's dream, now appearing before her eyes, making it even harder to breathe.

It was Lin Jiezi, with his back to the crescent moon, like a god descending to earth.

That face was undoubtedly Lin Jiezi's face.

As for magical girls, she could indeed be called a god.

Or perhaps a demon that brings an end to certain magical girls?

In short, Inuyama Tomoe stopped there when she saw this girl with empty eyes and whose expression was hard to discern in the moonlight.

Ba Qi and Lin Jiezi didn't interact much, but she knew that the girl wouldn't show such a look in her eyes.

Although Lin Jiezi's gaze was unfocused, Ba Qi could sense that she was looking at him.

"Don't just stand there, come help me!"

Baqi heard someone speaking beside her.

Now dressed in magical attire, Nishio Reki is waving her wand, struggling against the pressure emanating from the girl who is no longer the familiar Hayashi Mustard.

Ba Qi looked away again, staring blankly at herself.

In the area her gaze swept across, she also spotted the tracks of two other people.

Tenrai Herika and Yuuki Eri were both lying on the ground, wearing the clothes they usually wore to bed.

"Don't get distracted. I moved the three of you to the Moonsea Tower to prevent this thing from causing damage, and then she chased after us."

"Oh! I understand!" Baqi hurriedly agreed and transformed into her magical girl form.

Not only that, she even directly initiated the liberation of the gods.

He did those things to shatter Helica's dream and forcibly expel Lin Jiezi from it.

Although Baqi couldn't be sure what exactly happened, nor whether Yuuki Yuki in the dream had been attacked, she managed to bring Hayashi Keiko out of the picture.

But now this big trouble has fallen on his own head.

Only when Inuyama Tomoe truly faced Hayashi's offensive could she feel that futile effort to stop a chariot.

The attack, capable of severing an entire building in half, only managed to cut through Lin Jiezi's clothes without leaving a single scar.

Baqi's attack caused Lin Jiezi to transfer some of her hatred to herself, and the fierce offensive no longer completely enveloped Nishio Reki.

Nishio Reki suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and his counterattack became even more fierce, forcing Hayashi Keiko to retreat away from the sleeping Yuuki Yuki and Tenrai Helica.

But the pressure on Baki was even greater. The magic, which had no special attributes or abilities, was so powerful that it left Baki helpless simply because of its sheer mass.

The quality was so rich and pure that Bachi had never encountered anything like it before. If their attacks posed no threat to her, Bachi really wanted to take a few big breaths.

And quality is that immense magical force that seems to be crushing Bachi.

But it's not to the point that it's completely unacceptable.

Baqi held the gun blade in front of her, wielding it swiftly like the claws of a wild beast, as if trying to create an empty vacuum around herself to block the magic thrown by Lin Jiezi.

But with each swing, Baqi felt a strong soreness in her wrist, making her feel as if her arm was about to break at any moment.

But Baqi couldn't stop. As soon as she stopped her defense, the magic would hit her directly.

It's alright for me, but behind me are Yuuki Yukina and Tenrai Herika, who are sleeping in the form of ordinary people.

In a dream, Baqi is able to respond more boldly.

But this is reality. If something really happens to Yuuki, before Genki Mashiro's conspiracy is realized or Sumireko Yumehara takes Yuuki away, everything will end prematurely.

Just as Baqi was thinking this, Nishio Reki's anxious and forceful shout followed.

"No, we can't protect Xiaoyuan if we're all here. It was my fault! You! Take Xiaoyuan away! I'll hold her off by myself."

"clear."

Without uttering a single word, Baqi immediately turned and retreated towards Yuuki Yuki's direction.

As Baqi retreated, the brief stop to block her sent her flying, rolling several times on the ground.

Although it hurt terribly, so much so that Baqi felt as if her bones were about to break from the blow she received, she successfully used Lin Jiezi's attack to get herself in front of Yuki Yuki.

Baqi rolled over on the ground, grabbed Yuuki Emi with one hand and placed her under her armpit, while reluctantly hoisting Tenrai Herika onto her shoulder with the other.

Almost the instant Ba Qi leaped into the air, Lin Jiezi descended from the sky like a meteorite, landing in the spot where Ba Qi had just been.

Even though Baqi was moving fast enough, she was still pushed back by the impact of the landing, which felt like a nuclear explosion.

She managed to dodge it; otherwise, if Lin Jiezi had hit her squarely, even a magical girl's body probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

That was close.

Ba Qi secretly gasped.

Immediately before Lin Jiezi's renewed charge could reach her, Nishio Reki blocked it with her halberd carved with a coiled dragon.

But this time, it wasn't Baqi's body that was thrown up in the explosion.

This time the magnitude is smaller.

It was merely a matter of lifting a small corner of Yuuki Yuki's pajamas to show them off.

This was originally no big deal, but when Baqi saw the changes in Yuuki Eri's body, she realized that it was not a small matter at all.

The final scene in Helica's dream, the last and most striking creature.

The new bud that sprouted from the huge broken image seemed to ignite everything around it, ultimately turning it into scorched earth.

Baqi originally thought it was just a sign of the dream collapsing, and even believed that it was Yuuki Yuki's escape from Herika's dream, so she decided to take a gamble.

But that's not right.

Yuuki Yukina's actions were not a desperate gamble at all.

She couldn't control herself and lost control in Helica's dream.

Meanwhile, on the abdomen of Yuuki Emi, whom Baqi was holding under her arm, the black demonic markings that symbolized impurity were being branded were emitting the most exaggerated brilliance in history.

Chapter 138 Thunderstorms Tonight

No matter how much a magical girl knows about the magical girl world, or how strong her perception is, she cannot help but react to that special magic.

A magical girl might overlook a firefly streaking across the darkness, but no one can ignore a raging fire.

That's how the magic made Helica feel.

Helica also sensed the unusual magical power that appeared in the city.

Of course, besides the blazing flames that seemed to obscure everything, Helica also sensed some other magical power, much smaller, but still impossible to ignore.

So much has happened today. Several magical girls have been attacked one after another, and then this incredibly powerful magic appeared that couldn't be ignored. Even Helica, the Thunder Goddess, was starting to wonder if she was dreaming.

Even the fastest-paced story can't possibly suppress all the negative plot points all at once like a rollercoaster ride, so Helica could only accept it as fact.

Just by feeling that magic, Helica knew she couldn't continue to ignore it.

But is this something I can interfere with?

Can I really do something that even my predecessors couldn't do?

But Helica went anyway.

After all, she is still a magical girl.

Just because she's a magical girl, she feels she absolutely has to go.

However, she wasn't in her transformed state; instead, she mingled with the crowd, gazing up at the enormous anomaly that everyone could see.

To say that this destruction was caused by magical girls would be an exaggeration.

"What... what is this? This is too exaggerated!"

There was someone in front of them who seemed to be talking to themselves, but the voice was unusually loud.

These words were like a pebble thrown into the water, creating ripples.

But those ripples quickly disappeared.

When the stones were thrown in, the water was already turbulent.

Regardless of who they were or how loud they were, as long as they were around Herika, their discussion never strayed from the anomaly that almost completely occupied their field of vision.

Almost the entire street was razed to the ground. All that could be seen were collapsed buildings, cracked asphalt roads, haphazardly laid wires, standard lights, and steel bars, as well as that thing that had clearly not been there just moments before.

At first glance, even a toddler could tell what it is.

It is a flower.

It has roots that are deeply embedded in the ground, winding flower branches, blooming flowers and leaves, and buds that are about to bloom.

But anyone with a little common sense can tell that something is extremely wrong with this thing.

First of all, there's its exaggerated size. The giant flower, with its sprawling roots that seem to be feeding the entire neighborhood, is so large that it's difficult to give an accurate estimate just by looking at it.

However, to be clearly seen by everyone in a city full of tall buildings, it must be more than thirty meters high.

Standing beneath the flower stem, Helica felt as if she were a cat looking up at a whale, perhaps even more so than the difference in their sizes.

Secondly, this flower is not a real plant; no one would consider it an ordinary plant.

Ordinary plants would never behave like an active animal, making such large movements.

The roots that were firmly planted in the ground, or the vines that stirred the soil, broke the original clumps of earth and stone below into more fragmented pieces, and then seemed to take root even more firmly.

There were also some thick vines, like pillars in a temple, or tentacles that twisted and turned wildly, seemingly either driving away those who approached or hunting the creatures around them.

At first glance, Helica felt as if she were not looking at a giant flower, but at a gigantic soft-bodied creature that was churning the seas and waving its tentacles to assert its dominance.

It doesn't look like an animal either, because animals don't grow up like that.

It's as if the outline was drawn with a purple pen and then filled with a semi-transparent plastic film, creating an artwork that is completely different from what people commonly think of as a plant.

Even though it was so large, and even though it spanned a vast area, Helica felt she could see through the purple hues to the crowd of onlookers on the other side.

"How long has it been here? When did it appear?"

Someone nearby asked Herika a question that she was extremely curious about, making Herika prick up her ears to hear if anyone could give her a satisfactory answer.

Sure enough, someone nearby answered.
