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

End, end, end, end.

Besides this, Lin Jie Lingling Mengzi couldn't remember anything else.

Once again, once again, once again, once again.

Finally, Lin Jiezi suddenly woke up, as if she had just woken up from a very long nightmare.

She awoke amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with countless versions of herself lying around her, as if the nightmare was far from over.

But Lin Jiezi knew clearly that this was reality.

Nishio Reki rescued himself from Yuuki Yuki's grasp and placed himself in the Dream Realm, where he held the orb of light that symbolized the power of the primordial.

Did you just dream about something?

No, I think I just had a dream that I can't quite remember what it was about, and I was just spacing out for a moment.

Lin Jiezi could not find any other emotion besides confusion.

If I had to say, there was also fear, right?

Those girls who looked just like her, but were all broken and battered, lay there, scattered and looking at her with eyes that seemed to see nothing at all.

Lin Jiezi had heard that there were empty shells that looked exactly like her searching for and hunting Yuki Yuki, but she had never seen one.

Of course, this was something Nishio Reki deliberately prevented her from seeing, since no one wants to see a monster that looks like a corpse, right?

So these are the things I've heard about?

They are different from me; they are merely ghosts lingering in my memory.

But like themselves, they were also products of some unrealistic wish.

Lin Jiezi felt a surge of courage, but perhaps it couldn't be called courage; it was just her curiosity about the unknown.

So Lin Jiezi reached out her hand and extended it toward the girl who was lying motionless closest to her.

The instant she felt the chill emanating from between them, countless memories flooded her mind.

Those dreams that I should have forgotten suddenly became incredibly clear in that instant.

Lin Jiezi heard that wish clearly. No, she didn't really understand it at all. But now that Lin Jiezi could feel her own heartbeat and body temperature, she knew that it was real.

The voice said: The end.

She wanted to return, to merge with that dark power.

They are two sides of the same coin, and if we want to suppress Yuuki-kun in his current state, then this is the only option.

This was just an excuse, or a reason Lin Jiezi used to convince herself. In fact, even without these reasons, Lin Jiezi would have done the same thing.

There was no reason; she simply believed in the primordial voice that existed in her palm, and that the owner of the voice she had dreamed of who had given everything for everyone would never turn around and harm anyone.

So Lin Jiezi threw the primordial power that she had been trying to control high into the air.

Only after Lin Jiezi felt that power leave her did she truly understand it for a fleeting moment.

But it only lasted for a moment, and afterwards that power was no longer in Lin Jiezi's hands.

However, it seems that something was still left in Lin Jiezi's hands, like a lingering connection.

Like a kite.

Under Lin Jiezi's control, the soul bubble containing primordial power slowly flew towards Yuuki Yuen, and then directly pierced through Yuuki Yuen's body.

Others might not be able to sense it, but Lin Jiezi, who seemed to resonate with the soul bubble, knew that when the two forces came into contact, it was like an acid-base neutralization process, weakening both sides slightly.

Immediately afterward, Yuuki instinctively grabbed the bubble, but the power it contained made it feel like a scorching fireball, forcing Yuuki to let go.

At that very moment, Yuuki Yuki's power was reduced by a fraction.

The primordial darkness and the primordial darkness are like two weights; if placed on the same side of a balance scale, nothing can possibly move them even an inch.

However, if the two boxes of weights are placed evenly on both sides of the balance, the final result will be that the balance will remain in a delicate balance, which is zero.

Mashiro Urouge wanted to completely kill the original magical girl, so doing so was of course harmless. Rather, it was more appropriate for her to have their powers cancel each other out. Therefore, Mashiro Urouge went to great lengths to promote the fusion of the two.

However, Yuuki Eri was different. After she fully obtained the power of the Primordial Darkness, she did not rush to absorb the Primordial Power in Lin Jiezi's hands, which already showed some clues.

Now, Lin Jiezi is absolutely certain that Yuuki Yuuki is unable to successfully obtain this power in her current state.

So what can I do now?

What can you do with the kite string you hold in your own hand?

Following Lin Jiezi's idea, a tattered and empty shell stood up unsteadily, then fell backward.

The moment the empty shell collapsed, the ripples spreading from beneath her embraced her presence, bringing her directly to Yuuki Yukino's side.

In that instant, Lin Jiezi felt as if she had mastered a completely new body that she had never used before—light, swift, and powerful.

Then, it shattered.

However, the power contained within the shattered body once again partially neutralized the power of the primordial darkness within Yuuki Enishi's body.

If it doesn't work the first time, then try again!

In my dreams, I've failed countless times.

I think I can do it now.

No! It's me right now! I absolutely have to do it!

Chapter 304 Chaos

At first, when the empty shell resembling Lin Jiezi restrained Yuki En, the three of them didn't react much. They simply stood there, stunned, trying to process the reason for the scene before them.

We cannot act rashly; we must find out exactly what happened as quickly as possible.

However, after several empty shells resembling Lin Jiezi were defeated by Yuki Yuki, even the three of them, who were slow to react, could still glean some clues from Yuki Yuki.

Inuyama Tomoe, who was more sensitive to Yuuki Yukino's magical power, looked to the left and right, using her eyes to attract the attention of the other two, making sure they were indeed listening to her, before asking uncertainly.

"Have you two noticed that Xiaoyuan seems to have slowed down a little?"

After Inuyama Tomoe's reminder, the two also noticed that Yuuki Yuuki was starting to act strangely.

“No, it’s not that Yuuki’s speed has slowed down, but that the power within her has been weakened…” Nishio Reki corrected Inuyama Tomoe’s statement while squinting his eyes as if trying to sense Yuuki’s current aura.

After a moment, Nishio Reki nodded vigorously and clenched his fist.

"That's right. The empty shell that Lin Jiezi looks like contains primordial magic. Although the amount is very small, during their fight with Xiao Yuan, their magic was indeed canceling out Xiao Yuan's primordial darkness magic."

Helica Tenrai also noticed something amiss, and expressed her opinion with an uncertain tone: "So, these empty shells that have been hunting Yuuki Yukino for so long, are they now fighting for us?"

Without hesitation, Nishio Reki gave an affirmative answer: "That's right, it must be like that, and I'm sure that it's either the original will of the source or that Hayashi Mustard is helping us somewhere."

When they looked again at the figure that had crossed paths with Yuuki Eri, their eyes had subtly changed.

Even though no one said anything, they noticed that Lin Jiezi's movements were not clean and neat at all; on the contrary, many of her movements were somewhat superfluous.

Those who are fighting right now...

“In that case…” Inuyama Tomoe stared intently at the two sides engaged in battle, seemingly pondering something.

Lin Jiezi, dressed in various clothes but with a blank stare, kept emerging. She did only two things: grab the ball of light that symbolized the power of the primordial, and keep getting closer to Yuuki Eri.

This scene is extremely rare in battles between magical girls. At most, magical girls will only get injured in battles; let alone kill someone, they are almost never even disabled.

However, the ever-emerging Lin Jiezi is being defeated by Yuuki Yuuki in various ways, and in a rather inhumane way.

They weren't like Nishio Reki, who had personally taken the empty shell of Hayashi Mustard. Just looking at them made her stomach churn.

Moreover, knowing that this person was no longer an empty shell, but rather a clone controlled by Lin Jiezi herself made it even more unsettling.

Nishio Reki could tell that the other two were uncomfortable, after all, he himself had felt uncomfortable for a long time when he did it for the first time.

Let's cover this up quickly.

After making his decision, Nishio Reki immediately followed up on Inuyama Tomoe's words.

"In that case, we should cooperate with Lin Jiezi to keep all of Xiao Yuan's actions within a controllable range."

After hearing what Nishio Reki said, Inuyama Tomoe understood Nishio Reki's intention.

"What do you mean by 'within a controllable range'? To put it simply, it means restraining Xiaoyuan so that Lin Jiezi's attacks can be effective, right?"

Helica clapped her hands: "Alright! What's so difficult about this! Let's go!"

Soon, they discovered that this was not a simple matter at all.

Yuki En, who was being entangled by Lin Jiezi, kept retreating. He could neither directly contact the primordial power himself nor allow Lin Jiezi to contact it, which made Yuki En begin to feel restricted.

On the very day that battle with Mashiro ended, the original consciousness was actually in a dormant state, which is why Yuuki Yuuki could directly contact it at that time.

However, whether it's the magic power of Sumireko Yumehara that came into contact with Yuki Yuki before, the empty shell of Mustard Hayashi, or the light sphere that now symbolizes the original magic power, all of them will have a counterproductive effect on Yuki Yuki's magic power.

However, as long as there is no direct contact with Yuuki Yuki's body, there is almost no trouble for Yuuki Yuki.

Unfortunately, the battle lines of the other magical girls are now completely collapsing.

The monsters surging from below were like a swarm of bees returning to their nest, rushing towards Yuuki Yuki in mid-air and Hayashi Keko, who was vying with Yuuki Yuki for the primordial power, and almost instantly engulfing the two of them.

Faintly, Baqi could still sense spatial fluctuations flickering amidst the dark mass of monsters gathered there; it was a signal that Lin Jiezi was still continuing her struggle against Yuki En.

However, the cries of pain from the magical girls cannot be ignored. While they were fighting against Yuuki Yuuki, those magical girls paid an extremely heavy price to barely stop the monsters.

"This..." Inuyama Tomoe's expression also changed. She had been paying close attention to the battle with Yuuki Yuuki, but had almost ignored the other battlefield.

Seeing the complete rout, he stomped his foot in anger. He knew he had to take action, but he was also at a loss for direction. He didn't know whether he should head towards Yuuki Eri or stop the surging kin.

"Was this all planned by Xiaoyuan? No, did Xiaoyuan even foresee this situation? Rather than holding onto all the power, she would rather create more familiars to help her fight together. That way, even if her own power is weakened, she can still use her familiars to achieve final victory. We were all wrong. It's not that Xiaoyuan wanted to balance the power to just be enough to deal with us; it's that she only needed to be able to deal with us!"

Helica didn't have so many complicated thoughts. Her own magic power was already somewhat insufficient, so it would be really difficult for her to fight Yuuki Yuki. In comparison, it would be much simpler and more enjoyable to use her magic power to stop them.

"You all, get out of my way!"

Herlica shouted, startling the leading magical girls who were trying to repair the broken defenses. Then they saw a two-colored lightning bolt burst out from Herlica's wand like a giant meat grinder.

The few familiars that were flying at the forefront were immediately swept up and turned into charred remains before they could even let out a scream. The few that followed were smashed to pieces by their lifeless, falling companions. The monsters surging toward Yuuki Enishi immediately slowed down.

This significantly reduced the pressure on the magical girls who were trying to pull the encirclement back. They seized the opportunity caused by the momentary pause in their followers' movements due to Helica, allowing them to pull the battle line back a little.

But it only pulled them back a little. Repairing a broken front is not so easy, and Helica's intervention only slowed it down.

However, if you add Inuyama Tomoe, the effect will be completely different.

"Never mind all that, we don't know what to do anyway! Let's just stop these guys first!"
