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

However, those distorted spaces were not without effect on Genki Mashiro. Dark red blood flowed down Genki Mashiro's palm and dripped into the darkness of the night, blocking Nishio Reki's attack, but it also caused her considerable damage.

But she stopped her, and did so while ensuring that Sheng Shiyin was not harmed.

"It hurts a little."

Mashiro Gyoken clenched her shark teeth tightly, revealing a somewhat distorted smile despite the pain.

Genjiro's five fingers suddenly contracted, and a crisp sound like shattering glass rang out in the air, but what shattered was the tip of Nishio Reki's halberd.

Before her wand could be completely destroyed, Nishio Reki pulled it out abruptly, spun it twice around her body, and then stabbed it towards Urouge Mashiro's body.

Genki Mashiro's other hand never moved an inch away from the tentacle bed containing the sacred hymn. Her fingertips, flowing with magic, were even leisurely tapping out a rhythm. When Nishio Reki's attack came again, several invisible forces blocked Genki Mashiro's attack.

Nishio Reki swung his wand and clashed with the transparent blocks of color created by Urobuchi Mashiro. These things were just a bit annoying, but not enough to overwhelm Nishio Reki.

“I almost forgot, Sumireko Yumehara fell into darkness because she came into contact with primordial magic, so she can use this magic directly as well.” Mashiro Urokin said slowly while controlling the coloring blocks.

"Using magic to temporarily create a dreamlike alternate dimension, then hiding inside and waiting for Yuuki Yukino's signal, so that when the time is right, she can approach me directly from there and attack me? That's how I use my abilities."

Nishio Reki remained silent, wielding his halberd like a whirlwind. The accompanying black water washed away the various colored blocks, scattering them in pieces. The defenses set up by Genki Mashiro were completely cleared away in just a few moves.

She wasn't in the mood for trash-talking with Genki Mashiro; she was currently carrying out the most important task that Kaname had given her, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.

“In that case, Sumireko Yumehara should be with you too, right? If I’m not mistaken, her attack should have been…” Genken Mashiro paused slightly, her gaze drifting to the tentacle bed she was pressing with her hand: “Here.”

Space silently cracked open, as if a door had opened in the sky. Riding her chariot, Sumireko Yumehara gripped her trident tightly and charged out diagonally like a storm, aiming straight for Mashiro Utsugi's vitals.

This is a blind spot for Mashiro Gorky's vision; Mashiro Gorky has absolutely no chance of escaping it.

That was what Sumireko Yumehara originally thought, until she heard Mashiro Urobuchi's words.

Who cares! Nothing will change what I'm going to do.

Sumireko Yumehara gripped the trident even tighter with both hands, and in an instant she was in front of Mashiro Urouge.

However, Sumireko Yumehara's attack trajectory suddenly paused for a moment, as if it had been folded into a misaligned mirror. All of the girl's attacks landed on the afterimage of Mashiro Urouge, and the pierced afterimage trembled like a taut string before disappearing completely.

Sumireko Yumehara's eyes quickly went from confident to empty. She could have rushed out of the temporarily created space with Nishio Reki, but the reason she took a short break was to take advantage of the habitual thinking that Yuuki Yuki and Nishio Reki's sneak attack was their whole plan.

Even the position was carefully calculated by Sumireko Yumehara; this attack was almost impossible to miss!

But even with all that preparation, I still failed?!

Asahimi glanced at the battle on the other side out of the corner of her eye. Black liquid slurred from the tips of the tentacles beside her was like bullets relentlessly chasing after Yuuki Yuki.

The Three Pillar Gods' wands always have bizarre attack methods, so it's quite reasonable that they're now using their tentacles as machine guns to fire wildly at Yuuki Yuki.

Yuuki Yukino, wielding a katana in one hand and a greatsword in the other, dodged and defended herself amidst a hail of tentacled gunfire. Having just tried to stop Asahimi, she was now being trapped by him instead.

"How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it? How is it?!" Asahimi bombarded the audience with his words while letting out a loud, villainous laugh: "Yuki Yukino! Everything so far has been within Mashiro's predictions. All your thoughts are under Mashiro's control! In the end, we are the ones who will win!"

Tsk, has it become even more abnormal because it has been using Shub-Niggurath's power all along?

As Yuuki Yui thought this, she dared not stop what she was doing. The runic greatsword of the Black Feather Reincarnation that she had created had now become a shield in her hands, blocking the attacks coming from the front. Her other hand was cutting through the bullets that were penetrating the layers of obstacles and coming towards her.

The situation looks really bad right now.

However, the secret weapon that he had truly asked Xiao Li to prepare had not yet been activated.

Chapter 224 Riddled with Holes

Nishio Reki's halberd trembled violently in the gale, emitting a piercing sound, and water swirled around the cracked blade tip, forming a towering waterspout.

Sumireko Yumehara's chariot swept through the surging waters, circled in the air once more, and crashed into Mashiro Urouge again.

The two attackers' combined attack tightened like a noose, leaving Mashiro Urouge with no way to escape.

Genjiro's fingertips traced winding paths on the surface of the tentacle mass beside her, and several intersecting transparent cubes suddenly appeared around her body, slowly rotating like stars around the sun, cutting away the magical water flowing around the girls.

Nishio Reki's thrust was blocked by the cube, and twisted sparks burst from their fingertips. Nishio Reki seemed to hear a sharp cracking sound from his wand again, and his arm was also numb from the shock.

However, Mashiro's defense was indeed temporarily breached.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Sumireko Yumehara threw her trident directly, and the sharp wand pierced through the gaps in the cubic barrier, heading straight for Mashiro Urouge.

The trident shot out like lightning, piercing straight through Genki Mashiro's body.

It worked!

Sumireko Yumehara was secretly delighted.

No, that's not it. The feeling my wand gave me didn't feel like it was piercing a living creature.

A moment later, Sumireko Yumehara knew what had just happened.

Just as he was about to strike Genki Mashiro, Genki Mashiro opened a spatial rift just large enough for the trident to pass through, teleporting the trident behind him and narrowly avoiding his attack.

This was already the umpteenth time they had attacked Genki Mashiro, but each time she managed to dodge their attacks with pinpoint accuracy, just like before.

Ordinary magical girls could never do this, but Mashiro Urouge, who possesses the Three Pillars, can. As long as she opens a wormhole in space, she can teleport the attack that is about to hit her to the other side, directly bypassing normal defense and evasion, thus achieving a near-invincible effect.

Of course, there is a price to pay. If Mashiro Urouge uses the power of the Three Pillars in this way, she will definitely be backfired by the filth contained in the wand.

But if what Mashiro Goraku is doing has already been accomplished, it will be too late for others to consider the filth or the consequences.

"Well, Yuuki Yukino, after seeing this scene, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Asahiya smiled, seemingly not at all worried about Urobuchi Mashiro, who was being attacked by two magical girls.

You don't need many cards, nor do you need to have very strong ones. Just have a little stronger or more cards than your opponent.

All the magical girls on Yuuki Yuuki's side have started to go all out. As long as they can stop this wave of attacks, they will definitely be the ones laughing last!

Therefore, Asahimi and Genken Mashiro had considered countless scenarios, including the surprise attack on her by Nishio Reki and Yumehara Sumireko just now. Although it was indeed beyond Genken Mashiro and Asahimi's expectations, it was still within their control.

Yuki En has run out of ideas!

"It seems we will still be the victors in the end!" Asahimi sneered, declaring his victory.

"Oh? That's not necessarily true," Yuuki Yukina said, revealing her white teeth and a very relaxed smile.

what did she say?

Impossible. Yuuki Yuki has no more trump cards left. She's just putting on a brave face.

Mashiro Urokin had reached the end of the magical power she was infusing into Seishin. According to her calculations, the filth combined with that magical power should be enough.

Yes, their calculations were flawless.

Therefore, I have already made that decision!

……

Several months ago, in the winter before spring had arrived.

"That's it. Through those fragmented memories and my investigation after returning to Moonsea City, I have completely grasped what the Primal Power really is. If my calculations are correct, as long as my plan proceeds normally, I will definitely be able to make the Primal Magical Girl fall into darkness again, giving us the opportunity to kill her completely. However... I am still missing a piece of the puzzle."

Sitting at her desk in the bedroom, Gen Ken Mashiro pressed her hand against her forehead and rubbed her temples repeatedly, trying to relax in this way.

Seiki, who was lying on the bed with her head completely covered by a cup, poked her head out and asked, "Zhenbai, what is this puzzle you're talking about?"

Genki remained silent for a long time, with only the creaking sound of the chair being moved. Seiki saw that Genki had moved the chair to the side of her bed before she heard Genki slowly speak.

"Filth, the power that can corrupt people, is the collection of negative emotions in people's hearts. I need to collect enough filth to recreate the original history of the magical girl's corruption, but that's too difficult. Such a large amount of filth cannot be collected in a short time."

The original magical girl story was told to Seiki once, more than a year after Seiki voluntarily sealed herself away, during which Mashiro traveled to various places to collect information.

If you want the legend to reappear in this era, then just reenact the original script. That's what Mashiro Gorogen thinks.

After thinking for a moment, Shengqi sat up in bed and leaned his back against the headboard.

“I… have a way to not only break free from the primordial power’s hold on me, but also to collect enough filth.”

As Seiki spoke, she stroked the golden patterns on her abdomen and looked at Genki Mashiro with a probing gaze.

Xu Yan Mashiro only needed to look at Seiki's eyes to know that Seiki was definitely thinking of something that would harm others without benefiting herself, otherwise she wouldn't have hesitated so much.

During the time that Saint Prayer voluntarily exiled herself, a great deal of filth accumulated within her body, and she is now almost unrecognizable from the saintess who once chose self-sacrifice.

However, in front of Genki Mashiro, Seiki would restrain herself a little and try her best to control her dark thoughts from leaking out from between her thoughts.

Genken Mashiro knew this, but since Seiki had already spoken, he should listen to it too.

Genji Mashiro slowly lowered her head, then very slowly raised it again, repeating this several times. Her stiff nodding could be considered her tacit approval for Seiki to continue speaking.

Saint Prayer cleared her throat. She had barely left her bed in the days since she was pulled from the coffin. The warm room and long stretches of silence had made her throat less responsive to her commands.

After a while, Saint Prayer got used to the vibration in his throat when he spoke, and then he continued.

"Shubnigs is the goddess of fertility. Her power is not just about harvesting and reproduction. Creating life from nothing is also within her power. If I use her power to create life that can gather the impurities in people's bodies, then this problem can be solved."

“Impossible. The life forms created by Shubnigs are too weak and could not possibly possess the thinking abilities of normal people. Furthermore, filth is bound to the soul, and something without a soul cannot store filth.” Genki Mashiro shook her head, denying Seiki’s words.

“But wouldn’t it be better if they had the support of a soul within them? Even a little bit would make a qualitative change, right?” Sheng Qi blinked.

"Even with the complete primordial power, creating a soul is almost impossible. Even you and Shion started by nurturing souls from their embryonic form. After all these years, only the two of you can barely be considered to possess souls and bodies capable of bearing the primordial power. It's too late to create one now..."

If one wants to understand the power of the primordial, there must be a lot of research going on with Genki Mashiro. She knew immediately that what Seiki was talking about was simply impossible.

But as she looked at Shengqi, who was sitting upright on the bed with his legs covered by the blanket, she gave him a complicated smile.

Even though the two had been separated for a year, and even though they had both changed quite a bit in that time, a simple smile was enough for Mashiro Urouge to know what Seiki was thinking.

"No! Absolutely not!" Genken Mashiro vehemently denied, "Only you, absolutely not."

"Why? Doesn't Mashiro feel that strongly about having her wish granted? Does she think it doesn't matter if her wish can't be fulfilled?"

"That's not true."

"Why did Mashiro refuse? Did she think it was too risky? Did she think it was impossible?"

"That's not the reason either. You and I both know that this idea is ingenious and will definitely succeed."

"So, Mashiro doesn't want me to be part of the price?"

At this point, Mashiro Gorgen did not answer, but silently nodded.

“Mashiro.” Seiki softly called the other’s name, reaching out to grasp Mashiro’s cold hand resting on her knee. “I asked you to promise me that you would find a way to put an end to these things. And you have found it, and you are very likely to succeed. Now, it is not only Mashiro’s wish, but also my own wish, our shared wish. What can’t I do to make our wish come true?”

Genji Mashiro remained silent, only clenching his hands very tightly, so tightly that Seiki felt some pain.

But Seiki didn't say anything. She just felt the pain that Genki Mashiro was inflicting on her and gently bit her lip.

"So, as long as Mashiro's plan succeeds, even if my soul becomes riddled with holes, it will be worth it for the future of the entire Moonsea City."

I need to tidy up the bowls, and also organize my thoughts and plot. I'll be updating individually from time to time.

Chapter 225 Take this punch!

Near the ruins of the destroyed Grand Cathedral at Saint Yuyou Academy: "Xiao Qi, are you really sure about this?"
