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

However, the speed of the many angels who came after Kuroba was still a little slower than that of Yuuki Yukino.

Yuuki En waved down the spirit scroll she had conjured, the paper, as thin as a cicada's wing, turning into tiny points of light at the tip of her fingers.

"Slay it, you disgusting shadow."

The three corrupted magical girls who were suppressing Kuroba Rebirth retreated simultaneously, their tacit understanding so seamless that no one needed to issue any commands.

The enormous katana, which seemed to support the heavens and the earth, crashed down.

……

"There are just too many questions from you all, and I simply cannot answer them all."

Mashiro Gorgen sat upright in the main seat of the board meeting room, while the other board members who had also been blocked by reporters had now escaped their clutches.

After all, the board members knew very little about the specifics of St. Eternal Academy, and their positions would not allow them to speak the truth. The board's bodyguards arrived quickly, and continuing to stop them would only be asking for trouble—the reporters generally agreed on this.

As long as their main course, Saint Mashiro, the chairperson of Saint Yuu Academy, is still here, everything is negotiable.

"First of all, regarding the accusation made by Seishin that I am the magical girl who caused the tragedy in Tsukimi City and Nijiba City, I can only say that it is nonsense."

Genken Mashiro paused briefly, then spread her hands to show the magical girls clashing outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window next to her.

"As you all have probably seen, the magical girls are currently engaged in battle at our St. Yūkyū Academy, and I am sitting here now to answer your questions."

As Genki Mashiro spoke, he withdrew his hands and placed them together on the table.

"And our former headmaster of the Holy Hymn Academy has been missing since earlier."

The reporters were immediately in an uproar.

These words are all statements of fact, but when put together, everyone can sense the unspoken meaning behind them.

……

The Holy and Eternal Academy, the Great Underground Cathedral.

"Ha...it seems to be going quite smoothly."

Sheng Shiyin, leaning against the stone chair behind the lectern, closed her eyes and listened to the incessant commotion above the academy through the heavy doors.

"You must be exhausted just dealing with those reporters, right, Mashiro-neechan?"

Saint Shiyin, holding onto the cold armrest, slowly rose from the chair.

"It doesn't matter how Mashiro answers those reporters or how much she distorts the facts."

Saint Shiyin walked unhurriedly toward the stained glass behind her.

"As long as Mashiro-neechan is still unable to get away from the reporters, that's enough for me."

Driven by the magic in Shengshiyin's palm, each diamond-shaped glass shard was lifted up like peeling scales.

The stained glass depicting the deity looked like a piece of paper with a hole burned into it; the hole, only the size of a finger, began to spread outwards before disappearing completely.

The crisp sound of the glass shards colliding was like a sudden downpour, subsiding completely after only a few seconds, leaving behind a pitch-black door.

Instead of stepping into the darkness, Sheng Shiyin reached her hand into it, as if she had grasped something from the darkness.

The dome, the ground beneath his feet, and the entire enormous sanctuary began to rumble with the movements of the sacred chant, and dust from the dome fell in a flurry.

"That way, I can do what I can."

Chapter Ninety-One: An Unusual Interlude That Rises from the Ground

A long time ago, when I watched cartoons, people often asked this question.

Why doesn't the protagonist use his strongest move to defeat the villain right away, but instead slowly deals with him?

There will always be people who explain these issues from the perspective of plot development, excitement, and suspense. Audiences often say that the protagonist is being stupid, but they are also often very engrossed in the dramatic story.

However, Yuuki Yuen always felt that when there was a way to solve the problem directly, whether it was not finishing off the enemy, being arrogant and talking big, or hiding one's strength until the end and suffering a frustrating defeat, it was not a very smart move.

That's exactly what she did when she encountered the same problem.

After being unleashed as a god, Nyaruko unleashed her full power, carrying an overwhelming aura and corresponding strength and magic, which descended upon Kuroba Reisei's head.

This attack undoubtedly shattered Kuroba Reisei's counterattack, Kuroba Reisei's magic, and even Kuroba Reisei's transformation.

The massive katana that had fallen was sheathed, and the huge phantom behind Yuuki Yuki disappeared as well.

Only Kuroba Laiyo remained, surrounded by a swarm of girls.

Hei Yu Lai Shi lay on the ground, a huge tear cut into her nun's habit, revealing a shocking wound inside.

At this point, she was barely breathing and it was impossible to see that she had any ability to resist.

The dark magical girl, released by three gods, suppressed the attack to ensure its success, and then Yuuki Enishi, who wielded Nyarlathotep, one of the three pillar gods, launched the decisive blow. Even Urouge Mashiro had never received such treatment.

Therefore, their victory was inevitable.

However, Yuuki Yukino's heart was not completely at ease because of this.

This was Seishin's counterattack against Urouge Mashiro, but so far, they have neither seen Seishin nor found Urouge Mashiro. They have only defeated a powerful but completely unexpected corrupted magical girl.

This is far from a victory.

An intuition tells Yuuki Yuuki that Kuroba's fall in the afterlife is just the beginning, and far from the end.

"What should we do with this guy?" Helica, who had been outmaneuvered by several corrupted magical girls, stepped forward and pointed at Kuroba Reisei with the tip of her shoe.

Yuuki Yui made a quick decision: "Let's drain the magic first. Even if we don't get rid of her right now, we can't let her get in our way."

As Yuuki Yukari spoke, several tentacles emerged from under her long shrine maiden dress, meandering along the ground and crawling directly to the side of the collapsed Kuroba Ryouse. Her intentions were obvious.

The girls all looked away; they didn't want to witness such a thing.

As the tentacles drew ever closer, already probing beneath the nun's skirt, Black Feather Rebirth showed no fear whatsoever, his empty, incomprehensible gaze fixed on the sky.

Kuroba's reincarnation was indeed insane, but her insanity was arrogant, unreasonable, self-righteous, and contemptuous of everything.

In short, it should never be the kind of self-destructive madness she is currently displaying.

This feeling is as if Kuroba's reincarnation had already been corrupted long ago.

Kuroba Laishi opened his mouth and let out a prayer, or rather, a roar, in a hoarse voice towards the sky.

"My master! I have done my best! All the pieces have arrived! Now... please capture them all!"

In the underground cathedral not far away, Saint Hye-on, who had reached her hand into the darkness, seemed to hear the call of Kuroba's reincarnation, and clenched her fist even tighter.

"Everything is ready, my savior. You have not disappointed me again. I will personally set the stage for the chaos that is about to come."

Meanwhile, the strange noises around Sheng Shiyin, which roared like the cries of wild beasts, grew even stronger.

On the playground.

Several wands simultaneously reached out and pulled at Black Feather Rebirth. Any one of them could have easily destroyed the powerless Black Feather Rebirth, but in the end, they did not actually fall.

After all, seeing a girl become a bloody mess in front of them is not something these magical girls should do.

"Who is your master?!"

"Who ordered you to do these things!"

What does "to capture them all in one fell swoop" mean?

Faced with these questions, Kuroba Laisei never gave any answers, but his expression became even more twisted and terrifying, just like that of a fanatical martyr.

Unlike the excited girls, Yuuki Yukino remained silent and gently shook her finger, causing the tentacles she controlled, which had already climbed onto Kuroba Rise's body, to flow directly into his body.

Amidst the heart-pounding gasps and rustling sounds, the last vestiges of Kuroba's magic power from her next life surged into Yuuki Yukino's body as the tentacles plundered the magic power.

Kuroba Reincarnation should no longer have the ability to resist, but why does he still have such a strong sense of unease?

As Yuuki Yui was pondering, a violent tremor suddenly began beneath her feet. Just by standing on the ground, Yuuki Yui felt her feet begin to go numb.

Not only Yuuki Yuuki, but also the magical girls standing with her, the reporters moving around on the playground of St. Yuuki Academy, and the school staff all lost their footing in the violent tremors.

earthquake? !

Even an earthquake shouldn't happen without any warning, right?

And what's with this magical energy around us suddenly becoming so many times stronger?!

The tentacles that had pierced Kuroba Rise's body were instantly retracted by Yuuki Gen. Yuuki Gen frowned, searching for the source of this attack within his field of vision.

Yuuki Yukino easily found the source of the tremor.

Anyone staying at the Holy Age Academy, unless they are completely blind, cannot ignore the enormous anomaly unfolding before their eyes.

Soil, wooden fences, metal supports, steel bars—the very elements that once formed the stunning garden maze of St. Eternal Academy are now broken into pieces and rising into the sky with a rumbling sound.

To be precise, they were being lifted up by something.

The first thing that catches the eye is the sharp top of the tower, which, like a sword piercing the ground, shoots straight into the sky and continues to rise amidst a rumbling sound.

With violent disturbances on one side and the collapsed Kuroba Laisei on the other, Yuuki Yukino's choice of which side to take is already quite clear.

"go!"

Yuuki Yukino immediately threw out a cluster of tentacles, binding Kuroba Reisei tightly.

With almost no magic left, it will probably not be easy for Kuroba Rebirth to break free from the restraint trap personally released by Yuuki En.

As the girls moved forward, the semi-circular dome beneath the spire broke through the ground, revealing its full form amidst a deafening roar.

Such a huge disturbance caused the reporters on the playground to flee in droves, as no one wanted to be caught up in the earthquake.

"Is that...is that a church? It looks...like that, right?"

A reporter, covered in dust and sprawled on the ground, pushed up his glasses and scrambled back, pointing with his broken microphone at the ever-growing building.

The cameraman, carrying a camera that had been smashed in two, was also trembling with fear: "I heard that St. Eternal Academy was originally a church, which is why it has retained some church customs. I thought it was just a show-off tactic unique to aristocratic academies, but I didn't expect it to be true?!"

Some people were even slapping themselves repeatedly, forgetting to pick up their phones that had fallen to the ground during the live stream. "No, this isn't scientific! How could a church rise from the ground? This is completely illogical! I'm dreaming! I must be dreaming!"

"It's a magical girl! It must be the magical girl who did it! Look! The pink demon! She's leading other evil magical girls to attack that cathedral! This must be Saint Eternal Academy trying to protect us!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! In my opinion, neither the pink demon nor this church is a good thing!"

"However, although everyone calls her the Pink Devil, she hasn't actually done anything particularly evil, has she...? I feel like... she's actually protecting us?"

Yuuki Yukino, of course, couldn't hear what the others were saying, nor did she have the energy to care about what they were saying.

Now she can only keep moving forward, relentlessly.

Saint Shiyin's counterattack is only just beginning to emerge.
