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

However, she was wrong; Yuuki Yuki directly rejected Genki Mashiro's suggestion.

Inuyama Tomoe also speculated that if Gyoken Mashiro heard Yuuki Yuuki's thoughts and clearly received Yuuki Yuuki's rejection, she would either fly into a rage or continue to give a long speech to persuade Yuuki Yuuki.

But she guessed wrong again.

Genken Mashiro merely nodded and sighed silently.

Is the path one chooses the only one that can be decided by oneself? Genki Mashiro silently repeated the words Yuuki Yukino had just spoken to herself.

The shadow of Yuuki Yuki, who uttered these words, overlapped with the shadow of a certain girl in Urobuchi Mashiro's memories. She was also standing opposite him, saying the same unrealistic nonsense.

Genki Mashiro couldn't help but think back to that day.

Even now, Mashiro Gorgen may have forgotten many things, but she still vividly remembers that day.

If she just thought about it, Mashiro could recall the smell of dust that day, the refreshing breeze, the girl's expression, and the words the girl had said to her that day.

She said: So! Do you want to join me in saving this church and Moonsea City that have gone astray? Let's find a path that belongs to us, in our own way!

Fools love to say such unrealistic things, and they even take these unrealistic things as their goals, striving towards them endlessly.

Yuuki Yukino may forge her own path, but she will never back down from the path that Gorgen Mashiro has walked, a path that stretches from the past to the present.

Genken Mashiro cleared her mind and raised her eyes, her tone calm: "Choosing your own path? That's the answer most people would choose."

To Baqi, it seemed that Genken Mashiro was agreeing with Yuuki Yuuki?

But then, Mashiro Gorgen changed the subject: "However, everyone has their own choices, so how do we judge the merits of those choices? And when two sides have conflicting ideas, how do we choose one of them?"

Genken Mashiro was asking Yuuki Eri a question in return, but then immediately gave the answer to that question himself.

"Actually, it doesn't matter which choice you make. When faced with a dilemma, whether you rely on power, numbers, or legitimacy, no matter what standard you use to judge, there will always be a choice in the end. If your choice can convince me and your power can surpass mine, I can back down."

"But Yuuki Yukino, what is your choice? Have you offered any options? You deny my ideas, yet you can't provide any feasible solutions yourself. So, you're stopping me without any preparation?"

This wasn't a question, but Inuyama Baki sensed something strange.

Their dialogue was not about finding a common path between the two individuals or the two groups they represented, but rather about proving that the two sides were irreconcilable.

“Ah, yes, you’re right.” Yuuki Yui sighed softly. “You’re absolutely right. I really don’t have any solutions. I dare not claim to be righteous. Perhaps for the future of Tsukimi City, not having magical girls is a good thing. However, my choices will always be based on principles. I cannot violate morality and ethics just because of temporary difficulties! At least! I won’t be like you, abandoning even the last line of defense!”

Genki Mashiro cast a playful glance at her, her sharp shark teeth appearing even more maddening in her wide smile.

She had already guessed what Yuuki Yui was going to say, and Yuuki Yui also knew that the other party had guessed her thoughts.

But she still has to say that this is the fundamental reason why she and Mashiro Gorogen can never stand together.

“I disagree with you, and I want to stop you, not because I’m prepared, but because I know your choices will have irreversible consequences. You only care about the result, never about the process or the cost, even if it means risking your life. It was the same in Rainbow Leaf City… before… and it’s the same now… That’s what I can’t stand about you!”

"I also can't stand your naive ideas, that the world is a giant fairy tale and there's a solution as long as you take action. While the world may not be as dark as some people portray it, it's not gentle enough to accommodate every unrealistic wish. And you should wake up from your naive dreams sooner rather than later."

Mashiro Gorky's aggressive remarks brought this brief debate to an irrevocable halt.

"But, Mashiro Urouge, I've never asked you why you wanted to kill the original magical girl? And why you wanted to end the history of magical girls? Is it simply because you think it's the root of the problem in Tsukimi City?"

Knowing that the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable, Yuuki Yukino asked the few remaining questions in her mind.

Yuki Eri has always wanted to ask this question, but she has never had the chance.

The atmosphere during her several meetings with Mashiro was always strangely awkward, with absolutely no opportunity for the two of them to sit down and have a chat.

Of course, Yuuki Yui also knew that even if they were to sit down and talk, the result would be the same as today—the problem would not be solved.

Yuuki Yukino paused for half a second, then asked.

"You're just an ordinary person. Do you want to be responsible for things that are too big to control?"

Even though Mashiro Urokino possesses one of the three pillars of magic, she is still just an ordinary magical girl. An ordinary magical girl, driven by hatred or duty, will at most seek revenge or wipe out all the corrupted magical girls.

But Mashiro's goal is much bigger; she wants to erase the concept of magical girls from history. This is something that ordinary people can't think of, much less do.

Before Mashiro Gyoken left Tsukimi City, her policy was to purge magical girls. What happened to cause her to change her mindset to this point?

"My reason?" Genken Mashiro nodded repeatedly with a playful tone: "Because I'm just like her, having naive dreams."

Although Mashiro Urokin disapproved of Yuuki Enishi's naive ideas and openly rejected them, she didn't dislike those naive thoughts.

The reason she stands here is because she has been fulfilling that girl's unfinished dream.

But a naive dream is enough if you only have it once.

“Alright, that’s enough of the conversation.” Genken Mashiro twirled his wrist. “There’s no possibility of reconciliation between us. So, stop me with your actions, or join me in becoming the cornerstone of Moonsea City’s future.”

At that moment, the aura emanating from Genki Mashiro changed.

“When I fought you in the past, I always concealed the true release of my wand. Although it’s nothing special, I was just using it to avoid the original’s detection. But out of respect, I will show you my full power and put a true end to our conflict.”

As Mashiro Gakuen spoke, the starry sky behind her was lit up once again.

A mercury-like light bubble, as if tearing through space, enveloped Shinjiro's entire body, with countless contents composed of light spots, formulas, incantations, and many other incomprehensible things appearing on its surface.

Yuuki En calls it "content" because there is so much of it, and it's so messy. It's like all the known and unknown knowledge has been mixed together, ground into powder, and scattered throughout this space. Just looking at it makes Yuuki En feel dizzy.

Seven-colored light burst forth from countless bubbles, and pale flames began to burn, incinerating every symbol and word in the air, accompanied by a resonance of multiple musical scales that no one could understand.

For a moment, Yuuki Yukari couldn't tell whether it was a strange incantation or whether Urobuchi Mashiro was chanting her own release incantation.

But she could understand it perfectly.

she says.

“I am the omniscient and omnipotent who is now, who was then, and who is forever. I am the origin of all things, I am the end, I am the gate to the ultimate, the silver key, and the gatekeeper. I am one, I am all things, I am—Yogsthoth.”

The burning light bubble began to disintegrate, becoming a cluster of floating twelve-sided crystal clusters, each facet reflecting a different dimension of starry sky.

Calamity-ridden city, hidden, frigid wilderness, the solitary peak of the barbarian god, the unknown summit! Everything may be revealed in this distant dreamland.

A black magic rune is surrounded by various crystals and different scenery.

Black magic patterns that Yuuki Yukari had never seen before flew out from under Urobuchi Mashiro's fluttering hoodie and remained firmly in mid-air.

"This guy, not only is it fake that she says her wand is Loki, but the black magic markings on her face are also fake!" Genken Mashiro gritted her teeth in annoyance, glaring at the black magic markings floating in the air.

Genki Mashiro raised her hand and plunged the paintbrush into the canvas.

The black magic runes also began to spin, resembling a fallen galaxy.

Genken Mashiro stretched out his hand, extending his arm, which was wrapped in long sleeves, into the shimmering light. The fabric of his hooded demon costume was swallowed by the chaotic space, and all the clothing on Genken Mashiro's body was rapidly disintegrating.

Swipe.

The galaxy formed from the black magic patterns was completely grabbed by Genken Mashiro. The ethereal tree, overflowing with light, flowed between the girl's fingers, and like a cloak, it was draped over her shoulders by Genken Mashiro, covering her naked body.

The overflowing, otherworldly colors began to melt onto Xu Yan Zhen Shiro's body, merging with her form, and the long dress with its flowing star trail patterns bloomed amidst the starry sky.

Inuyama Tomoe couldn't say for sure whether it was Genki Mashiro who wore the starry river on his body, or whether the starry river, so profound that it was beyond human comprehension, devoured Genki Mashiro and then reconstructed him into something inhuman.

But now, Mashiro, dressed in starry sky, gives off an even stronger sense of inhumanity.

Genken Mashiro turned her eyes, which were completely black, and in the center of her eyes, a vortex like a nebula, one could feel her gaze that seemed to pierce to the bone.

Then, Genji Mashiro placed her hands on her chest, as if she were praying to something unknown.

But between her tightly clasped hands, she grasped something.

A silver key, as tall as half a person, was slowly pulled out of her body.

The complete liberation of the gods, the complete wand of Yog-Sothoth, and also the complete Mashiro Utsuro, leaving no room for anything else.

Mashiro Urouge could only hide the true name of her wand before, but her abilities and fighting habits, which are ingrained in her bones, will not change.

However, her aura is completely different now.

Facing the unyielding wand of the Three Pillar Gods for the first time, Yuuki Yui truly understood how powerful that force was, and how strong Nyarlathotep within her would be if she unleashed her full power without regard for the consequences.

Let's forget about Nyarlathotep for now and deal with the immediate problem.

"Xiao Yuan?"

"Ah."

Yuuki Yukino and Tomoe exchanged a glance.

The ferocious claws of the terrifying beast tore through the sky of the Dreamland once more.

Chapter 199 Unsolvable

"Stars! Stars! Stars, stars, stars!"

Sitting curled up in Yumehara Sumireko's chariot, Hayashi Mustard pointed at the dazzling star trails in the sky, repeating the same syllables for a long time.

But she always felt a strange tremor in her heart, but she couldn't tell whether she was shocked by this starry sky that shouldn't exist or whether another power within her was sensing something that shouldn't exist and issuing a warning.

Herlica swung her fists, causing her enormous lightning fists to wrestle with the beast that the Sanctuary had transformed into. She was so busy with the task at hand that she had no time to even glance at the light pollution behind her head.

She became even more anxious when Lin Jiezi stammered a reminder, but she couldn't understand what Lin Jiezi was trying to say at all, so she hurriedly asked her.

"Star what?! What?!"

"Ugh!" Lin Jiezi was so startled by Helica's harsh words that she choked up and couldn't say a word.

Helica didn't really want to harm Lin Jiezi. In such a critical situation, she didn't have the extra energy to consider whether her tone was good or bad.

"Don't rush! Speak slowly! What's wrong!" Helica shouted, pushing her hands forward as if she were pushing a huge boulder.

The giant hands of lightning gripped the two front hooves of the monster that the temple had transformed into, forcibly pushing the enormous creature back a little.

“It’s the starry sky!” Lin Jiezi managed to squeeze the word out of her throat, but Helica was still confused and couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.

Sumireko Yumehara's explanation of guiding the sea monsters surging out of the water curtain to crash into each other became much simpler and clearer.

"It is Yog-Sothoth, the liberation of the gods who have studied the true whiteness."

Helica took a breath: "Has anything changed?"

Yumehara Sumireko held her trident horizontally and took a few steps back to give herself room to speak: "I only know about their abilities. So far, apart from Yuuki Yukino's divine release, this is only the second time I have seen the divine release of the Three Pillar Gods."

Helica glanced over: "What do we do then? What about this guy's God Release?"

As Helica temporarily withdrew her strength, the Templar Monster seized the opportunity, roaring as it charged forward and smashed its massive head down on Helica.

"Tsk."

Herlica clicked her tongue, but when she tried to exert force again, she was suppressed by the powerful impact. Helpless, she withdrew her fists, using her arms and the huge thunder fist to protect her body, preparing to meet the beast's impact.

The solid ground beneath their feet suddenly began to rumble, and a city wall tens of meters high sprang up from the ground like a prankster's fist, landing precisely between the hooves of the Templar Monster and its lower abdomen, like a pinball game, lifting the charging Templar Monster up.

The monstrous, its direction distorted, roared and lost its original aim. Its massive body was thrown into the air, only to be flipped over and thrown to the ground, like a turtle whose shell had been turned upside down, revealing its underside covered in black mud.
