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

With Asahimi raising her hand high as a signal, all the magical girls rushed forward, their colorful wands appearing in the air and pointing at their target: the nun with her raised, blood-stained arm.

"Extinction Dragon Poem!"

"Eternal Calamity Slash!"

"A Red City That Never Sleeps!"

"Thousands of petals and ten thousand flowers!"

"The Dark Side of the Moon!"

"Mjolnir!"

"Gleipnir!"

Red, black, green, white, silver, gray—all sorts of different colored streams of light, each carrying its own unique magic, fell in the same direction.

Meanwhile, Mashiro Urouge, who was included in the scope, softly recited her skills that she had never shown to anyone before.

"Rise, Gate of Despair."

The phantom of a colossal gate, towering into the clouds, slowly emerged from the void, becoming increasingly solid as time passed and the girls drew closer.

Rather than a door, Yuuki Eri prefers to call it a chaotic energy entity, like a portal in an alternate world game, its existence disordered and chaotic.

The flowing light of the stars forms the entirety of the door, but it is fluid, constantly twisting and deforming like a ball of fire, yet always maintaining a certain range and a special kind of stability.

What lies behind the door is unknown to Yuuki Enishi. Perhaps it is a phantom tree overflowing with light, perhaps it is a boundless and disordered quantum sea, perhaps it is a reality that countless world bubbles cannot reach, or perhaps it is nothing at all.

But the attacks of the magical girls it swallowed were indeed reduced to nothingness.

Its existence seemed to last only a moment, but in that instant, the attacks of the magical girls advancing alongside it also lost their sharpness.

A moment later, the attacks, seemingly at their last gasp, came crashing down. The door vanished without a trace, and what greeted the girls was a psychedelic array of colors that appeared to have been laid out there all along.

Even with a weakened attack, this level of defense wouldn't have much of an impact on the girls!

That is indeed the case, but compared to the distance between the girls and Asahimi, the distance between their clasped fingers is even shorter.

Snapped.

Asahimi snapped her fingers lightly with her bloodstained hand, the crisp sound standing out even among the clash of wands.

Meanwhile, the black tentacle cocoon that Asahimi had been carrying behind her began to move.

The tentacles that were intertwined on the surface of the tentacle cocoon began to wriggle, slowly retreating to both sides, like a heavily locked combination lock unlocking itself.

"Switch fire!"

At the command of Baqi, who was at the forefront, everyone almost simultaneously turned around and rushed towards the black cocoon behind Asahimi.

The tentacle cocoon was indeed very thick, but it was released much faster. In just a few breaths, the tentacle cocoon tore open a large hole, revealing a shape resembling a space capsule with a window open.

A girl surrounded by tentacles had her eyes closed, her chest rising and falling slightly as she breathed evenly.

From the girl's naked body, everyone could clearly see that a golden pattern was being branded on her lower abdomen, flickering with each breath.

The magical girls, who were preparing to attack the black cocoon, all stopped in their tracks. Just moments before, they had been so aggressive, but now they were unsure whether they should continue.

The girl lying there was none other than Sheng Shiyin, who had been abducted directly from the Dreamland and had been missing for a long time.

And the mark branded on Sheng Shiyin's body could not possibly escape the eyes of others.

"This thing, is it a Black Demon Mark?" Sakura Hanako spotted the marks on Seishine's body at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.

“No, although it’s very faint, I can feel that the magic it contains is completely different. Although it can’t be called holy, it’s different from the filth we understand.” Hong Moli quickly replied, turned around abruptly, faced Urouge Mashiro and Asahiya behind her, and raised her chainsaw at them as they approached rapidly.

The girls' brief moment of distraction was enough for Mashiro and Asahiya to regain the initiative.

The tentacles and colored blocks attacked in unison, surrounding the girls who were leaning against the black cocoon.

The girls dodged left and right, but under such a powerful attack, they had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to approach Saint Shion.

Of course, they had already considered temporarily withdrawing to Yuuki Yukino's side, who had remained untouched.

“I’ve seen that black magic mark before. Wasn’t it on…Saint Prayer?” Helica thought, looking at Asahi Miya who was supporting the much more haggard Gen Ken Mashiro.

Although Asahimi's nun's uniform after her divine liberation was revealing, it completely covered her abdomen. Whether this was intentional or accidental, no one knew. However, since they entered the Dream Realm, no one had actually seen the black demonic markings on Asahimi's body.

Asahi's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he were laughing.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

As she spoke, she pressed her blood-stained hands against her stomach. The bloodstains on her fingers, which were not yet completely dry, immediately stained her fair skin, leaving dark red spots around her navel.

Asahimi's hand continued to move downwards, his fingertips touching the edge of the demonic armor. This seemingly provocative action, against the backdrop of blood, only felt incredibly eerie.

Yuuki Yuen clearly remembered that this was the second time Asahimi had done this in front of her. The last time was on the train on her way home from work, when Asahimi sat opposite her and lifted her clothes in front of her.

Her clothes were slowly removed, and blood left an obvious finger mark on Asahimi's lower abdomen.

Beneath those finger marks, there were indeed deep black lines; any magical girl could recognize those unclean marks at a glance.

It is indeed a black magic mark, and a genuine black magic mark, unlike the brand that Xu Yanmashiro could leave on his face to conceal his identity.

However, it was indeed black, unlike the one I remembered wearing on Saint Prayer.

Even though he had seen countless scenes of Seiki taking action in his memory, and the ability used by Asahimi now was almost the same, Nishio Reki gradually began to separate the woman in front of him from the image in his memory, as if they were really two completely different beings, just as Asahimi said.

"who are you?"

"Me?" Asahimi loosened her fingers, and the elastic fabric snapped against the girl's lower abdomen. The fabric, not fully back in place, left a dent on the surface, covering most of the black magic markings and the bloody handprint on them: "I am who I am, I am Asahimi."

"Then what's with the black magic markings on your body?" Nishio Reki continued to press.

"What's going on? It's just proof of Shubnigs' power, what's wrong with it?" Asahimi covered her lips with her fingers, leaving a trace of deep red like lipstick.

Nishio Reki gritted his teeth; if he continued to press the matter, the power within him might...

No, if the primordial power was sealed within Seishin's body.

Despite the danger, Nishio Ryū inexplicably felt a surge of exhilaration.

Regardless of the outcome, the situation is already in such a mess, let's make it even more chaotic!

Nishio Reki took a deep breath and said, word by word, "The black magic mark of the Holy Prayer is not like this."

No response.

Genken Mashiro asked, "Have you seen Xiaoqi, and also seen her black magic markings?"

She was in very bad shape, and in order to buy Asahimi some time and block the combined attack of all the magical girls, Mashiro Urokin used her power once again.

“That’s right!” Nishio Reki replied, “I’ve not only met you, but I also know everything about you. I know everything.”

There was still no response from the sacred sound.

"Impressive, you claim to know everything about us. Since you've already said that, don't you know why I can use Shubnigs so freely?" Asahi squinted his eyes.

What riddle are we trying to solve?

What Nishio Reki said was completely incomprehensible to Yuuki Yuki and the magical girls standing with her.

"Xiao Li, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, this Saint Prayer used some incredible method to directly break the shackles that Saint Eternal Academy had been placing on them! She is now..."

boom.

The sudden burst of magical power was impossible for anyone to ignore.

This familiar feeling, this uncomfortable pressure.

She is the original magical girl!

This time, however, the source of that power was not Lin Jiezi, but Sheng Shiyin, who was lying in the tentacles.

"what happened?"

Asahimi was somewhat flustered and turned her head back in disbelief to look at Seishin, who was tearing at the tentacles on her body; while Gen Ken Mashiro's brows also suddenly furrowed, clearly caught off guard by the attack.

It seems they were unaware that Xiao Li possessed a portion of primordial power, and even less aware that this primordial power would awaken because Xiao Li revealed information about her.

good chance!

Yuuki Yukino was secretly surprised (>Dad-Joy).

But Yuuki Yukino's foot had already stopped before she could even take a step.

The primal magic that erupted was forcibly suppressed by an even more turbulent and murky magic.

At the same moment the primordial magic erupted, the corrupt magic existing in Moonsea City seemed to be guided by something, rushing towards Saint Shion's direction. Even the flow of magic leaking out from the huge gap in the sky began to change.

Why would those magical powers do such a thing?

Are they autonomous?

No, that's not right! It was Genki Mashiro who did it! Yuuki Yuuki saw Genki Mashiro immediately press her hand onto the tentacle chamber containing Seishin, guiding the magic to suppress the power within Seishin's body.

It wasn't just the murky magic that was injected into Seishin's body by Genki Mashiro; the filth produced by the ordinary people of Tsukishima City also seemed to have found an outlet. At this moment, it was seeping into the tentacle mass surrounding Seishin through Genki Mashiro's palm. The twisting tentacles became excited and rushed towards Seishin's body, slowly injecting themselves into Seishin's body in a truly disgusting way in front of all the magical girls.

Genken Mashiro shook her long dress, her hands still pressed firmly against the tentacle chamber where Seishine was. The gorgeous starry dress clashed with her slightly disheveled appearance and short hair.

"We've talked so much just now, I think it's about time for us to rest."

"If you want to stop me, now's the time. Let me see if your resolve can outweigh mine—that's what I should have said."

"But this time, we absolutely cannot lose, and we can't possibly lose, so let's each take a step back and not waste our energy, okay?"

Chapter 209 Can a bird with broken wings fly again?

"Don't waste your energy, okay?"

As Genken Mashiro asked this, in a tone of negotiation, it seemed as if she were issuing an ultimatum.

To Yuuki Enishi, it sounded more like a declaration of victory.

Regardless of the answer, Yuuki Yukino's answer remains unchanged, and there is no possibility of any alteration.

Of course not!

Without Yuuki Yuki even needing to say a word, her eyes had already revealed all her inner thoughts.

Genji Mashiro lowered his eyes and said no more.

But her hand remained firmly pressed against the tentacles, and a pitch-black color, not belonging to her magic, was being injected into them through her fingers. That pitch-black color was the filth that Genji Mashiro had mentioned.

Nishio Reki's words did indeed trigger a reaction from Seishine, who successfully awakened the original magical girl. However, contrary to their expectations, the original magical girl was suppressed by the black mud seeping from Urouge Mashiro's hands.
