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

"When I was fighting your two juniors, I had a feeling that if I went all out, I might not lose even if they attacked me together. Even if I mastered the God Liberation, they shouldn't be no match for me."

Helica closed her eyes and tapped her head with her fingertips.

"Huh? You mean you're actually very strong? Even if Xiaoyuan said their strength is different from reality, you've never actually fought two of them one-on-one." Baqi didn't agree with Helica's statement.

"About 80%? That's about right?" Helica wasn't angry, but suddenly blurted out a question that didn't make sense to her.

"What do you mean 'eighty percent'?" Ba Qi retorted.

"I think they can probably unleash about 70-80% of their true strength, that's their limit. Don't underestimate them just because you think they're really weak."

Helica explained, continuing to speak to Baki.

"Therefore, I can roughly deduce that all enemies who are weaker than those in reality are likely fake. Although I told you not to be careless, you are not weak either, so don't be too arrogant."

"Am I the kind of flamboyant person?" Inuyama Baki scoffed at Helica's words.

Helica snorted coldly and then listed out Baki's numerous crimes.

"You and Yuuki Yuuki rode tentacles and flew through the sky; when you went to the beach it was raining and you couldn't go into the water, so you transformed and ran into the sea to play in the water; and you deliberately fished that good-for-nothing idiot at the entrance of the shopping street, which of these things wasn't publicized?"

These events, all piled up together, truly left Baqi speechless for a moment.

"Alright, that's not all I wanted to say. You're aware of those things too. What I wanted to talk about was something else. Before I give you this task, there's something I need to explain to you." Surprisingly, Helica didn't continue complaining.

"What do you want to say?" Inuyama Baqi, unusually, neither called Tenrai Herika a yellow-haired dwarf nor talked back to Tenrai Herika, but simply asked a question.

“We haven’t taken any initiative because without Yuuki’s command, we’re prone to making mistakes. Therefore, observing the situation and responding accordingly is the safest approach,” Helica said.

Baqi simply replied, "That's right."

"But we still have to solve the problem. I mean, if, hypothetically, if we really run into something really troublesome, even if it means exposing our strength, we can't let things get to the worst point."

Herlica's expression was unusually serious, as if she were afraid that Inuyama Baki hadn't understood what she was trying to say, and she emphasized it deliberately.

"Inuyama Tomoe, I'm talking about situations that might cause Yuuki Yukino or Nishio Reki to despair. Also, when you're investigating the sanctuary that Nishio Reki mentioned, if you really encounter danger, don't hesitate to expose your power."

"With our combined strength, as long as a real magical girl doesn't appear, those imposters are no match for us. Between losing members and revealing our strength, I'd rather not see any losses."

"Don't worry, I would have done it even if you hadn't told me," Baqi said confidently, snapping her fingers.

……

Now, perhaps this is the time when Helica, the Thunder Goddess, said she needed to stop hiding her strength.

If Kuroba's reincarnation were truly detrimental to her, Baqi didn't think she would lose to a mere imposter.

But how strong Kuroba Reincarnation really is, and how strong the Kuroba Reincarnation that Yumehara Sumireko copied in her dream is, Tomoe doesn't know.

But if what Xiaoyuan said about the "paradox of God's omnipotence" is true, then Yumehara Sumireko, who was defeated by her own forces and had to flee, should not have been able to create a very strong Kuroba Rebirth.

In short, the worst outcome would be that he would be no match for Kuroba Reisei and would have no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Yi l]ing (fin IV dance leek is 9 eight black feather rebirth walks in front, Ba Qi silently follows behind black feather rebirth, using her mind to record the route they came from, so that she can easily find that place after returning to reality.

"Inuyama-kun, when we had our student exchange program with Tsukimi Middle School before, you seemed to know all the exchange students from Tsukimi Middle School quite well. It turns out that Inuyama-kun is not only academically excellent but also very helpful."

Kuroba Laisei slowed his pace slightly, speaking to Inuyama Baqi without turning his head. His calm tone and the expression Baqi couldn't see made it difficult for Baqi to judge his state.

In fact, Baqi didn't need to make any judgments. She didn't need to rush to make a move. All she needed to do was keep Kuroba Laisei calm while trying to get information out of her. When Kuroba Laisei attacked her, she would then crush him.

Despite harboring dark thoughts, Ba Qi's expression was harmless, incredibly innocent, and showed no signs of any scheming.

"Helping other classmates is what I should do, and the teacher has also entrusted me with this important task. Even if the teacher hadn't given me the task, I think that making more friends would be a way to enrich myself."

This kind of life has been endured by the dog, Yamaba, for over ten years, and she can recover completely in a second.

"Inuyama-kun is such a good student. Are you still in contact with those friends?" Kuroba asked calmly, the murderous intent hidden in his tone seemingly materializing into a sharp blade already held to Baqi's neck.

"Occasionally, maybe?" Baqi's expression remained perfectly natural, as if she hadn't understood the barbed words behind Kuroba Reisei's words at all.

Actually, there's no need for Baqi to say anything now; Kuroba Rebirth will reveal his true intentions on his own.

Perhaps it was because they couldn't wait, or perhaps it was because they were confident in their abilities.

Or it can be understood this way: Kuroba's reincarnation is just that kind of person.

"Inuyama-kun, did they talk to you about anything?" Kuroba Rise continued to ask, slowing her pace further.

"We've been chatting quite a bit, but Kuroba-kun, we've been walking for so long, haven't we arrived yet?"

Baqi gave a perfunctory reply, looking around at the increasingly complex environment. Although they were still in the maze, Hei Yu Lai Shi must have taken a long detour.

She was saying what anyone would say if they were suspicious of the current situation in any team, and she was also deliberately continuing to give Kuroba Laishi clues, waiting for Kuroba Laishi, that big mouth, to reveal more information to her.

"They'll be there soon, almost there. Didn't they tell you who they are?" Kuroba Rise continued to ask.

They've already started to give themselves away, but Baqi can't rush things.

"Who are they? I've never heard of them. Do you know them, Kuroba-kun?"

"Of course I know, and I also know what you're here for."

"Then, Kuroba-kun, tell me, what am I here for?"

"Does Inuyama really intend for me to do this?"

"Of course, I'm very curious to see what kind of answer Kuroba-kun will give."

Kuroba Laisei stopped and turned to face Inuyama Tomoe.

"Inuyama-kun, including you and me, there are five of us who entered the maze today, but only one of us will be able to get out."

Kuroba Laisheng spoke softly, lowering his eyebrows and slowly rolling up his sleeves.

"I've been waiting here for so long, just for you. Inuyama-kun, remember, those two are in this state because of you."

Even in her dreams, when she heard Kuroba Laisei casually recount others' fates with such indifference, downplaying his own demonic actions, Inuyama Tomoe still felt uneasy.

It was this guy who almost made me never see Xiaoyuan again!

Not being able to personally resolve the issue of Kuroba's reincarnation has always been a hurdle in Baqi's heart.

Now that we finally have an opportunity, we should prioritize the bigger picture and avoid acting impulsively.

"This is a dream, this is a dream," Inuyama Baki repeatedly reminded herself, trying to prevent her expressions and actions from revealing any flaws due to her emotions.

"Wait for me?" Her heart was already churning with turmoil, but Baqi continued to feign ignorance in front of Hei Yu Laisheng: "Why?"

Kuroba Laisei's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and the kind and gentle look he had when he was tugging at Inuyama Tomoe just now vanished instantly.

"Because you are a villain who attempted to destroy my empire, you must atone for your sins with everything you have."

Kuroba Laisei roared, her hand angrily swinging towards Baqi.

Ugh, so tiring. This guy has finally stopped acting.

Baqi sighed, watching as Kuroba Rebirth's body donned the familiar magical armor amidst the transforming light.

Before Kuroba Reisei's hand reached Baqi, a giant sword engraved with heterochromatic runes was formed from black light spots. It seemed to be about to cut Baqi in two, and it drew ever closer with a whistling wind.

Waving a wand at an ordinary person is usually something magical girls are unwilling to do.

The duty of an ordinary magical girl is to protect ordinary people and punish corrupted magical girls; naturally, she would not use her weapons against ordinary people.

The corrupted magical girls also try their best to avoid it, not only because they don't want their hands to be stained with the blood of ordinary people, but also because it's not fun to lay a hand on ordinary people and it will only cause more trouble.

But Kuroba Reincarnation doesn't mind such things.

This wasn't the first time she'd done something like this.

In order to reach that supreme point, Kuroba Reisei believed that sacrifice was necessary, and all sacrifices would become the cornerstone of final victory.

In Moonsea City, where she holds absolute power, she is capable of building her own empire of corrupted magical girls, and no one has the power to punish her.

However, those despicable magical girls actually caused him to lose two of his useful chess pieces and even defeated that idiotic chairman. It was impossible for Kuroba Rebirth not to feel angry.

Especially during the conversation just now, Inuyama Tomoe confessed to her behavior without any apparent reason, as if she didn't know what she was saying.

What an idiot.

But isn't that perfect? ​​Let her taste her anger and know the consequences of disobeying her!

As Kuroba Rise thought, the runic greatsword was about to touch Inuyama Tomoe's body, and Kuroba Rise seemed to see the scene of Inuyama Tomoe being cut in half at the waist.

However, the runic greatsword was deflected.

The force that struck her wrist nearly made her drop her wand, and the shock still left Black Feather's arm numb and trembling violently.

The one who flicked her wand away was none other than Inuyama Tomoe, whom she had dismissed with disdain just seconds before.

"How is this possible?" Kuroba Reisei's pupils suddenly contracted.

On one side of Bachi's body, thick chains, as strong as arms, formed an impenetrable barrier that even a wand could not penetrate; it was this chain that had just easily blocked Black Feather's attack.

"Is anything impossible? You're surprised I'm a magical girl?" Baqi still wore a warm smile, cracking her knuckles as she clenched her fists.

This expression, this posture, even though it was still wearing Inuyama Tomoe's face, made Kuroba Kisei feel so unfamiliar with this academically excellent and gentle young lady for the first time.

"You're a magical girl too? No... you're a corrupted magical girl?!" Kuroba Rise's brows furrowed more and more, and the composure she had shown earlier when she was testing Inuyama Tomoe was now completely gone.

When Kuroba Rise realized that the magic emanating from Baqi belonged to a fallen magical girl, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

However, both the magic and the meaningful expression that Inuyama Tomoe made after transforming—an expression that was unlike anything a magical girl would make—confirmed that what Kuroba Rei was seeing now was almost certainly true.

Baqi stuck out her tongue at Kuroba Reisei, generously showing him the black magic markings on her tongue: "Ah, yes, I am indeed a fallen magical girl."

The black magic mark on Inuyama Tomoe's tongue finally put an end to Kuroba Reisei's anxiety.

However, this astonishing fact only made her more unsettled.

"Then why did you go and help those magical girls?! Were you an undercover agent?! Or do you not even know what you're doing?!"

The reason why Kuroba Reincarnation was not calm was quite simple.

Even if Kuroba's attacks on an ordinary person were somewhat restrained, it was still his own attack. If Inuyama Tomoe could easily block his own attacks, then Inuyama Tomoe's strength couldn't be weak.

Kuroba Rise dared not underestimate a powerful corrupted magical girl.

However, the fact that he was not weak was not enough to make Kuroba's reincarnation so shocking.

Inuyama Tomoe kept her identity hidden, so that Kuroba Reisei never discovered anything amiss.

It's important to understand that while a magical girl's strength doesn't solely rely on combat and training—innate talent and the power of her desires also play a significant role—she still needs to grow step by step.

However, Kuroba Laishi had no idea that Inuyama Tomoe was actually a magical girl, and a corrupted magical girl at that—from becoming a magical girl to falling into corruption, Inuyama Tomoe never revealed any flaws.

He calls himself the ruler of the Dark Magical Girl Empire, but there is a powerful Dark Magical Girl in the next class who is colluding with the magical girls who defeated his pawns. This makes Kuroba's worldview seem to collapse.
