Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Jiang Si found it strange; did calamity beasts also have such feelings?

I thought that this being, which was similar to someone who sprang from a stone, would be like the Monkey King, without a mother and without any extra emotions, making it more suitable for seeking the Tao.

I didn't expect it to be this kind of inferior thinking.

It seems I overestimated this fake Nascent Soul. I'll find some time to erase its consciousness.

To avoid adding further trouble to one's path of seeking the truth.

The terrifying dragon's breath plowed through the entire forest outside the North Sea, leaving no sapling or monster unscathed.

By the time his breath subsided, the entire forest had been leveled.

Only the dark magic continued to burn the remains of those mirror beasts.

"That's it, that's it! Charge, Calamity Dragon! I choose you!"

Below, An Shiyu sat on his lap, cheering excitedly, "Too strong, Calamity Dragon! Keep going like this and deal with all the Mirror Beasts in the Heart Image Remains! Keep using Flamethrower!"

"What are you making a scene about, kid?"

After being told off, the girl became quiet. "Sorry, I was just a little too excited. When I was little, I always dreamed of riding on a fire-breathing dragon and traveling the world..."

"What novel?"

"Huh? A novel? I watched anime, the kind where you can travel with your pets, don't have to go to school, and happily catch pets every day."

Can it be upgraded?

"You mean pets? Of course! They evolve with each level up and have a new form." Once she started talking about her favorite things, An Shiyu immediately became very talkative. "We always say that magical girls are not as good as Pokémon. They don't have any new forms after leveling up, and they don't even change color. You can't tell they've evolved."

"Oh, I do agree with that."

“Right? If we get a new set of magical armor every time we advance, then we won’t have to worry about what level we are every day…” An Shiyu said. “I’ve always wanted to ride a fire-breathing dragon to school since I was little.”

"So what exactly is your animation about?"

"It's all about constantly taming pets, battling, getting stronger, and developing bonds with them..."

"And the protagonist himself?"

"Uh, it's mainly about pets..."

Beast taming style, bad luck.

"We'd like to ask how you obtained your Calamity Beast Body, it's so cool..."

"It is taboo to inquire about other people's traditions without permission."

"..."

After the other person fell silent, Jiang Si flew outside while saying:

"So what's the point of all this fuss?"

"It was mainly to find someone to help... No, it wasn't us who did it, we were just the guides." An Shiyu quickly changed her tune and continued, "The owner of the Heart Remnant, that fully-bloomed magical girl, finally sealed the Mirror Kingdom, but some very dangerous things from the Mirror Kingdom are still here. As the Heart Remnant gradually weakens, the Mirror Kingdom's tool that can infinitely create mirror beasts is about to become unstoppable."

"Even you can't stop it?"

"I already said it wasn't us!" the magical girl immediately corrected. "Because they're all space-based abilities, it's actually quite troublesome to stop the mirror beasts from the Mirror World. Of course, it wasn't a problem when the mental image remnants weren't severely damaged, but now they're almost at their breaking point, and we have to find someone to help deal with it..."

Although I don't know why the other party insisted on hiding such an obvious identity, and the methods they used were extremely clumsy.

He completely lacked the wisdom and ingenuity he displayed when he disguised himself as Si Mo Tu and Jiang Mo Tu.

But he didn't intend to delve into such trivial matters. "So all we need to do is smash the props in that mirror world?"

"Well, let's leave it at that for now..."

"So, the forbidden zone of life..." Jiang Si changed his mind, realizing the girl in front of him didn't seem to have any special abilities, "What treasures are hidden in the remnants of the mental image?"

An Shiyu was stunned. "Wh-what treasure?"

"Hmm? You sent people to help, but aren't you going to prepare the final treasure? Are you just letting them work for nothing?" Jiang Si's gaze was icy. "To explore and fight so hard only to end up with nothing is a major taboo! Don't you even understand this basic rule?"

Otherwise, who will compensate me for the classic post-game loot counting process?

"But isn't saving everyone's happiness, their smiles, and their praise the greatest reward...?"

"Are you trying to soothe a child?"

An Shiyu's eyes were brimming with tears. "Well, we're all dead now, what treasures could we possibly have to give you?"

Are all magical girls this incompetent?

"Aren't you the greatest treasure?"

The girl, tears streaming down her face, blinked, stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly hugged herself, exclaiming, "You're actually this kind of person! We misjudged you!"

"Your strength, your knowledge."

Jiang Si said in a deep voice, "Give me everything about yourself as a fully-fledged magical girl, and I will help you solve the problems here."

After putting her hand down, An Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief but was also somewhat disappointed. "So that's all? We really misjudged you."

"Should we give it to them or not?"

"Of course I'll give it to you, but we're not the owners of this place. You have to go to the center of the Heart Remnant and find the power and knowledge left behind by the magical girl Mankai. Once the hidden dangers of the Mirror Kingdom are resolved, everything here will be yours."

Where is the center of the mental image remnants?

"It's in the original Mirror Country."

"Where was the original Mirror Country?"

"South China."

Jiang Si immediately rushed towards South China, crossing the entire city, but when she reached the North Sea Forest and went further out, she bumped into an invisible wall.

"What are you doing? The door can't be opened this way, it's dangerous! The test of the Mirror of the Mind isn't over yet. We can only leave after everyone else has finished their first test!"

An Shiyu, clumsily grabbing its horn from its back, cried out, "Wait a minute! There are four ways to get to the Mirror Kingdom, don't go this way!..."

"I hate waiting for people the most."

Jiang Si opened the dragon's mouth.

"Let's finish it off in one go."

"Wait a moment!"

A terrifying dragon's breath suddenly erupted onto the blurry barrier!

Immediately afterwards, it shattered the barrier, tearing through it with its claws and flying outwards.

Outside is another North Sea, where mirror beasts roam freely.

The calamity dragon flapped its wings and took flight, its breath coalescing once more!

"It's too dangerous! This really won't do!"

……

After Qingluan woke up, Hongmian woke up not long after.

Most of the other magical girls have disappeared from Iris's mental realm.

"Senior Mujin is a gentle person."

As Hongmian tidied her magical outfit, her mental imagery field was also being eroded. If it weren't for Iris's mental imagery field, she probably wouldn't have been able to wake up. She explained, "She is most afraid of seeing others cry, and even more afraid of those unenlightened magical girls getting hurt or facing life-threatening situations."

“So, if her teammates aren’t prepared, Senior Mujin would rather face the danger alone,” Hongmian said softly. “That’s why she went to the Mirror Kingdom alone back then.”

Iris immediately raised her hand and said, "We will definitely not let Senior Hibiscus down!"

Qingluan nodded as well.

She had some doubts and resentments in her heart, wondering why Senior Mu Jin's mental image fragments would give her such a cruel test.

After Hongmian's explanation, Qingluan understood.

If you lack the resolve to let go of even this small thing, then there's really no point in venturing into the remnants of the mind.

This is not a vacation spot, but a truly dangerous place where one wrong step could cost you your life.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Senior Mujin was very considerate, using this safe trial method to filter out unsuitable people first.

It's important to understand that in the past, some mental image fragments didn't take that much thought into them. After all, many mental image fragments left behind by fully awakened magical girls only posed a danger, not a protection for the magical girls' safety.

"In short, our goal is to destroy the hidden gates of the Mirror Kingdom, and the Mirror Core that allows them to create an endless stream of Mirror Beasts..."

Hongmian then explained the mission objectives to the two of them again.

The General Administration knows everything about the problems with the remnants of Hibiscus's heart, and the incubators know it all too well.

As a result, the incubators remained silent until the effects of the mental image remnants spread.

Thinking of Senior Jin Cha's wish, Hong Mian snorted coldly.

Sooner or later, the headquarters will turn into a magical girl headquarters, and those little brats are unreliable...

"Iris, is your mental imagery a little unstable? It seemed to waver just now?"

"How is that possible? Iris-sama's mental image domain is the strongest in the headquarters. Even Hibiscus-senpai's mental image remnants can't interfere with it. How could it be shaken by external forces..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the entire mental imagery domain trembled violently once more!

Iris immediately raised her head proudly, "How dare you challenge Iris-sama, a Grand Magical Girl who has advanced to level 300, the peak of High Bloom! No matter who's outside, you've truly angered me. Go to the darkness and regret provoking Iris-sama! This is mine..."

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying, pitch-black breath suddenly pierced through the mental imagery domain!

The buildings and streets of Beihai city were immediately revealed!

The moment the mental imagery was destroyed, Iris fainted before she could even speak.

Forcibly disrupting the mental imagery domain will cause the magical girl to lose consciousness instantly...

Qingluan quickly hugged her friend.

However, Iris recovered in no time—she had experienced having her mental imagery domain destroyed before and was quite experienced.

Looking around, almost all the surroundings were Mirror Beasts!

These mirror beasts seemed to be waiting for the three of them to come out of the mental imagery realm!

However, after the breath brushed past the three of them, it quickly plowed up the surrounding ground!

Before the three could react, all the mirror beasts were annihilated!
