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

Bai Gui Qian You glanced again at the people on the ground who had stopped running and couldn't help but look at this dangerous and spectacular scene.

"To put it another way, not only us, but even these people could see it. Could you be mistaken?"

After saying this much, Bai Gui Qian You shut his mouth.

Hong Moli's eyes, her expression, and her recent loss of composure all told me that this was real.

If it weren't for this, she, who is always the calmest member of the Dark Magical Girl squad, wouldn't have been so shocked.

Shocked by the enormous rift, Sakura Hanako also noticed the magical girls near it.

"Those people! Although their magical outfits are somewhat different, aren't these the seniors, Gen Urobuchi Mashiro, and Asahi Miyabi? Everyone who entered the Dream Realm is here!"

Everyone noticed this, of course, but in the face of such a great shock, the girls momentarily overlooked the existence of these people.

Sakura Hanako's words also served as a reminder to everyone.

Everyone who enters the dream world.

Something happened in the dream world!

Koumori was the most shocked of all the magical girls. From the very beginning, she suddenly sensed strange magic bombarding the edge of the world, and from a leak of a trace of magic, she instantly realized that something terrible was about to happen. She was indeed the one who was most shocked.

Even so, she quickly composed herself, grabbed Hyakki Senyou's cold little hand, pulled her directly into her arms, then took off and flew several meters away before stopping, turning her head to look back at the other magical girls.

"Let's go first! They might need our help over there."

Mizuno Yu and Sakura Hanako didn't hesitate for even half a second. This was indeed their top priority right now. Even without Koumori's reminder, once they realized it, their actions wouldn't change.

Several figures flew toward the magical girls who were facing each other, one after the other. The distance was not short, but in such a critical situation, every second that shortened the distance felt incredibly long to them.

But the situation in the sky remained unchanged, with only the ever-leaking magic filling Moonsea City.

"Senior Yuuki!"

"Yuki Yuen!"

Two groups of four people landed next to Yuuki Yukino almost simultaneously.

Asahimi, who was protecting her torn shoulder with one hand, and Urobuchi Mashiro, who had a shocking wound on her leg, looked like they were in a bad situation.

Besides these, there was something else that caught the girls' attention.

Behind Asahimi, a huge tentacle cocoon floated there, seemingly having been there since they appeared.

"What happened?" Hong Moli, who had already composed herself, asked Yuki Yuki beside her in a low voice.

However, it wasn't Yuuki Yukino who answered; Gorgen Mashiro spoke first and seized the initiative.

"My student council president, it's really nice to see you. I hope this scene didn't frighten you."

Genken Mashiro said this, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem happy at all.

Hong Moli snorted coldly, adopting an attitude that kept everyone at arm's length: "Dean, do we really need to be so polite between us? Besides, you didn't come here to reminisce with us in a place like this, did you?"

“Since you’ve put it that way, then I’ll answer the question you just asked Yuuki Yukino.” As he spoke, Genken Mashiro glanced at Yuuki Yukino: “You don’t have any objections, do you?”

Yuuki Yukino's expression was extremely unpleasant, and she didn't want to waste any more words with Gen Ken Mashiro: "Whatever."

"The Dreamland is the gap between reality and dreams, and the place where the boundaries between soul and body are most blurred. That's how Sumireko Yumehara pulled the souls of the magical girls in the cycle into the Dreamland, thus building her own kingdom."

As Genken Mashiro spoke, he glanced at Yumehara Sumireko again, but Yumehara Sumireko only snorted coldly.

Receiving no response, Mashiro Gorgen was not annoyed, but simply continued talking.

"What I did was very simple: I used my abilities to break down two barriers."

She didn't intend to give a long speech or set up any puzzles; the answer could be explained in just a few words, so Genki Mashiro didn't need to waste any more words.

"One layer is the barrier between the dream world and the original cycle, while the second layer is the obstacle between reality and dreams."

Chapter 207 Creating a God

The fact that the two barriers were torn apart and the primordial power was poured into Moonsea City was obvious. Even if Genki Mashiro didn't explain the process, Koumori could understand the result.

The process itself is not important; what matters is why she did it, and what Mashiro Gorogen will gain after doing so.

Is there any necessary connection between her desire to kill the original magical girl and end the history of magical girls, and everything she is doing now, besides being related to the original magical girl?

Hongmo's ideals are incomprehensible to many, but what is incomprehensible is the most dangerous.

Because of ignorance, one dares not act rashly; because of ignorance, one must constantly pay attention to the other party's every move; because of ignorance, one is like someone who doesn't know how to swim entering the water for the first time, overwhelmed and at a loss.

There is no standard answer to whether to advance or retreat, but taking the wrong step could lead to an abyss of no return, with consequences that no one could bear.

But everyone knew one thing: Moonsea City, filled with such a high concentration of magic, was bound to undergo some extraordinary changes.

On the bustling Central Avenue, the soles of the little girl's shoes, being pulled by her mother, creaked against the ground.

"What's wrong? Run! Run!"

The mother stopped and pulled the little girl's hand hard, and the shrill sound rang out again.

"Mommy, I'm so tired. I can't run anymore. There's nothing left in the sky. Why do we still have to run?" The little girl's tears welled up and she murmured pitifully.

Yes, why run?

The mother didn't know the answer to the question either. She just saw everyone else running together, so she ran along with the crowd.

But she couldn't say that to her own child, so she pulled hard on the little girl whose hand she was holding.

"Stop talking and start running! Let's run together!"

However, her own legs wouldn't obey her commands. The step she took in her haste couldn't support her body properly, as if her legs no longer belonged to her, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud.

The little girl immediately ran to her mother's side with concern and shook her mother's shoulder with her little hand.

"Mommy! Mommy! I can run! What's wrong? Don't scare me! I really can run! Stand up! Please stand up!"

This scene was unseen by the magical girls high in the sky, but ever since the magic began to leak out, the people in the city seemed to be slowed down, and the flow of people slowed down considerably.

"What did you do to them!"

Herlica clenched her fists tightly. If she didn't, she felt she might lose control of her anger at any moment and punch Genki Mashiro in the face.

"They're alright," Genki Mashiro replied, then glanced at the magic power still leaking out of the air out of the corner of her eye, and closed her somewhat pale lips.

“Stop lying! Those people! They are all…” Herika pointed to the flowing crowd below, many words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, leaving her momentarily speechless.

But her message was indeed conveyed, and this is a question that many people are curious about.

“She’s telling the truth.” Sumireko Yumehara raised her hand and gently patted Helica’s shoulder.

Herlica suddenly swung her arm and slapped Yumehara Sumireko's hand away. Even though it was an unconscious action, a look of disappointment still appeared on Yumehara Sumireko's face.

Helica then realized that her reaction had been a bit too intense. Her cheeks flushed red, and she slowly withdrew her outstretched hand, curling her fingers into her palm.

"I'm sorry," Helica said in a very soft voice, though she wasn't even sure if she made a sound. Then, to deflect her embarrassment, she cut straight to the point: "Why did you say that?"

"I've spent too much time alone in the dream world and in the primordial magic, so I know that what Mashiro Urouge said was true. Although this magic makes us feel very uncomfortable, it won't cause any harm. At most, it will just make ordinary people feel suffocated, but it's really just a little tiring."

As Sumireko Yumehara explained, there were clearly some other things she didn't say aloud.

She paused for a moment, considering whether she should tell the whole truth to others.

"It's not just that, is it? Now that things have come to this, don't try to hide it from us." Baqi nudged Yumehara Sumireko in the back with her elbow, and the other magical girls immediately turned their attention to her.

Sumireko Yumehara hesitated for a moment, then shook her head vigorously a few times: "That's right, short-term contact with primordial magic won't cause any problems, but what will happen over time, I don't know."

The reason why Sumireko Yumehara fell into darkness was that she came into contact with the primordial chaotic magic power and was corrupted by the magic power contained within it, which is why she became like this today.

She didn't say it explicitly, but it wasn't a secret. As long as Sumireko Yumehara was there and gave it a slight reminder, the other magical girls would all realize what was going on.

"Does this guy want to corrupt everyone in Moonsea City?!" Herica suddenly raised her head, her gaze towards Gen Ken Mashiro becoming even more hostile.

Staring at Genki Mashiro is useless. Genki Mashiro isn't like Inuyama Tomoe who likes to go against her, nor is she the type like Kuroba Kisei who will take you seriously if you provoke her even slightly.

Helica took several heavy breaths and turned to face Yuuki Yuuki: "Yuuki Yuuki! Can I lay a hand on her? I can lay a hand on her, right? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Her actions were tantamount to putting Yuuki Eri on the hot seat of danger.

A large part of the reason why the magical girls didn't take action was because they didn't know what the consequences of their actions would be, and no one could make the decision for them.

Helica directly named Yuuki Yuki, and even if it was unintentional, it put Yuuki Yuki in a position where she needed to make a choice.

“I don’t recommend it. This is Moonsea City, the place where you live, and the people you care about. If you don’t mind them being destroyed in the aftermath of our battle, or if you are confident that you can defeat me and Mi without harming them, then you can give it a try.”

When Genken Mashiro said this, he had no intention of provoking anyone; he was simply stating the facts.

What she said was indeed reasonable. The second reason why the magical girls chose to confront each other instead of attacking all at once was that their destructive power was too great, and they were not confident that they could defeat Genken Mashiro without paying any price.

But are we just going to watch Mashiro and Asahiya stand there? Are we just going to wait for the overflowing magic to fill the entire Moonsea City?

"Furthermore, I don't intend to pollute anyone in Moonsea City. On the contrary, what I need is the filth they produce. If they leave the filth inside their bodies, that would be troublesome." Genki Mashiro spread her hands and continued speaking.

Even though Mashiro's remarks were infuriating, she did unwittingly help Yuuki Eri escape a predicament. Whether she meant it or not, the potential conflict was indeed postponed.

She did this intentionally, to show that if a conflict were to break out, even Mashiro Gorogen would be very troubled.

Another battle with the Lava Lantern, another capture by Mushishiha, and so many uses of his powers—Gen Ken Mashiro definitely doesn't seem as calm and collected as he appears on the surface.

At least every time Yuuki Yui used her powers, the filth and magic power she consumed were terrifying, but the effects were negligible. She found it hard to imagine what kind of price Urobuchi Mashiro had to pay to be able to use them so many times in a short period of time.

As she was sizing up Mashiro Urouge, Reki Nishio's voice rang out from beside Yuuki Yuuki.

"What do you mean by needing the filth they produce?"

"You are clearly Yuuki Yuki's child, yet you didn't realize what that black magic was at all?" Genken Mashiro's eyes widened, but no one knew whether she was genuinely surprised or just putting on an act.

As for what Yuuki Yuki's child said, it would normally cause a lot of complaints and trouble, but in the current environment, nobody cares at all.

Not to mention Nishio Reki, because so much has happened tonight, even Yuuki Yukino herself hasn't bothered to investigate what that black mud actually is. Now, Gen Urobuchi Mashiro is speaking with such conviction, as if he knows it all. Yuuki Yukino is in a difficult position.

Don't look at me! I really don't know what those things are!

That's what she was thinking, but Yuuki Yukino didn't intend to show any fear on her face. She looked like she had expected this, but she didn't know if she could fool Genki Mashiro and the others.

"Fine, fine, I might as well tell you directly." Genken Mashiro opened her arms: "Those things are souls stripped from people, which are essential components of us corrupted magical girls."

What are the essential elements that make up a corrupted magical girl?

Black magic runes? Corrupted magic?

　[The Demise! It is the filth that pollutes and amplifies the hearts of magical girls, causing them to fall into the abyss beyond their control!]

So, this thing exists in everyone's body?

"Your next question is, why do I need this kind of thing, and what is it used for?"
