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

An Shiyu broke out in a cold sweat, then gave a sheepish smile. "Oh, what a coincidence! You're a magical girl who loves fairies, just like me. But to have so many negative emotions just because you can't see how the fairies end... that's really... really childish..."

"What an idiot."

"Hey!" An Shiyu immediately shouted, "You'll definitely be sad if you don't see the ending of the story! Isn't that normal? You'll definitely have negative feelings if your favorite novel doesn't have an ending, right?"

"I never read books that may not be finished."

The Disaster Dragon arrogantly declared, "All authors who abandon their works will be blacklisted."

“…” An Shiyu raised her hands in surrender, “We lost, okay? It’s a bit stupid to have so many negative emotions just because we can’t see the ending…”

The dragon didn't dwell on it any longer and flapped its wings to continue flying south.

"Beyond that are the nine strongest defensive layers of the Mirror Kingdom, you must..."

Before the word "be careful" could be uttered, a slight misalignment suddenly appeared above the North Sea space layer, and then it shattered like glass.

An Shiyu was slightly taken aback. She looked up at the dark, colorful space behind the suddenly shattered barrier. A pale green magical girl stood in the shadows, and only a corner of the shattered barrier was visible.

Its pale green pupils stared coldly in this direction, devoid of any emotion.

"Respond to the highest threat elimination protocol."

"Watch out!" An Shiyu shouted immediately. "It's the magical girl Hibiscus in full bloom!"

Hibiscus stretched out her index finger along the crack in the space and gently traced it.

"It's a spatial slash..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Disaster Dragon's body suddenly shrank, shrinking from its original enormous size to the size of a person, and a spatial rift slid along the edge of its body.

As a result, An Shiyu was instantly cut in half at the waist. Although it was just an illusory energy body, it was difficult to heal for a while.

Looking at the agile Disaster Dragon, Mu Jin across from her simply waved her hand, and the dark, colorful space instantly tore open the sky, abruptly changing the spatial environment of the surrounding North Sea.

"Danger level four, transfer to the fifth floor...failed."

"Transfer to the second level, successful."

"Mission accomplished."

The world spun around, and the magical girl Hibiscus's aura vanished instantly.

The Disaster Dragon looked around and found that it was actually the North Sea at night. An Shiyu's phantom was nowhere to be seen, and the surroundings were very quiet.

As it took flight and intended to continue heading south, it saw a giant mirror.

On the other side of the giant mirror stood three familiar magical girls.

The three magical girls also quickly noticed it and immediately looked at it with tension and seriousness.

It was naturally the three Iris. They had taken a route known only to the Disaster Management Bureau and had run all the way here. In the end, they were blocked by the mirror. While they were still looking for a solution, they bumped into the Disaster Dragon.

I was just really unlucky...

“This place is sealed off by the Mirror Kingdom, so we can join forces for now,” Red Cotton suddenly said seriously. “We can talk about anything else once we get out, okay?”

Qingluan and Yuanwei stared blankly at their teacher, never expecting her to say such a thing, actually wanting to join forces with the Witch's Guild.

Although the calamity dragon ignored them, it did not rush to attack. Instead, it lashed its tail at the mirror.

Dangerous targets detected; total number of targets: 4.

[Initiate emergency procedures for single-replication instances.]

[Target Selection: The strongest.]

[Selection complete.]

[The strongest has been copied and is ready to engage in battle.]

After a series of announcements, the three members of Hongmian felt a chill run down their spines!

Damn it, one Disaster Dragon was already a headache enough, and this thing is going to copy another Disaster Dragon!

Then, the mirror began to glow, accompanied by a piercing noise, which the three people watched with tense eyes.

A girl walked out—

Magical Girl Iris.

Chapter 135: Speedrunner (5000 words)

It's hard to say how the three of them felt when they saw that the clone that appeared was the magical girl Iris.

For the three magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau present, no one would underestimate the mental image fragments, especially complete ones.

Warning, mobilization, screening, special training, and countless magical girl studies that include incomplete remnants of past mental images and information about Hibiscus's personal life.

Thus, the Disaster Management Bureau's combat team against the mental image remnants, which returned from hell, consisted of more than a dozen Blooming Magical Girls, each one an elite among elites, the most outstanding among blooming.

Then, as soon as we entered, we almost all died.

Even though she, the legendary first official level 300 advanced blooming half-step ultimate magic girl, remained calm and composed in the face of danger, and made a decisive move, she could only barely save two people from the onslaught of the mental image remnants.

This made her take a few extra breaths.

After that, under Teacher Hongmian's guidance, they took a shortcut predicted by the Disaster Management Bureau based on past experience. Even though they had made ample preparations and anticipated the danger of the mental image remnants, the actual situation was still—

"The phantom of the calamity beast from Senior Mu Jin's memories? It's certainly worth a fight."

"You have all the A-rank calamity beast phantoms? It's time to unleash your full power, Qingluan!"

"Teacher Hongmian, save me! There are just too many Mirror Beasts!! Could anything be more outrageous than this?!"

"You mean these monstrous phantoms spawn endlessly and resurrect with multiplied respawn rates? What's the point of fighting? Run!"

"What do you mean we have to fight all the phantom magical girls in full bloom that Hibiscus knows?"

A bitter struggle, fraught with danger at every turn!

I couldn't help but sigh that it truly was a remnant of the mind.

Many times during the journey, the three of them were beaten and had to de-transform, so much so that not only were their magical costumes in disarray, but their clothes were also disheveled, and their faces were bruised. Qingluan's already cracked magic wand was on the verge of breaking, and both Hongmian and Yuanwei looked exhausted.

In particular, a section of Iris's long hair before her transformation was cut off.

"Waaaaah, my hair, my youthful and invincible hair."

"Don't cry, Iris. At least you'll still be long after you transform."

"Wow ah ah ah ah..."

But while the full bloom of the secret realm can cut off her iris hair, it can't cut off her invincible heart!

Full bloom, not bad at all!

So when Iris saw her invincible self emerge from the mirror, she knew something was wrong.

This time, they have finally encountered what may be the biggest crisis in their history!

After a moment of silence.

Iris coughed and said in a deep voice, "This is terrible. The technology of the Mirror Kingdom is so terrifying that it can distinguish the strongest among us at a glance! This is going to be difficult, especially with Qingluan and Teacher Hongmian."

"Is it because the Calamity Dragon wasn't included?" Qingluan said.

“It’s quite possible that the Mirror Kingdom is more adept at replicating magical girls,” Red Cotton added.

"However, in actual combat, Iris has basically never won against me," Qingluan pondered. "Why would you conclude that Iris is stronger than me?"

Little White popped out of her bag, "Because there's no mental imagery domain?"

"It's possible that it's just a simple numerical calculation," Hongmian guessed. "The iris's value is quite high."

Qingluan nodded: "That makes sense."

Hongmian felt somewhat relieved: "As expected, the Disaster Management Bureau was right to abandon numerical measurement..."

"Hey! You guys are just jealous that the Mirror Kingdom system has recognized me as the strongest, aren't you!"

Iris immediately shouted, "You can only be stubborn now! When you're brought to tears by Iris-sama's hidden true strength, you'll know you're wrong!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Mirror Iris moved as if it had received a command.

Both Qingluan and Hongmian immediately became serious.

While they might joke around normally, when it comes to a real fight, Iris is indeed one of the top experts in the Disaster Management Bureau.

The realm of mental imagery is even more difficult to deal with.

Just as Hongmian was about to open her Mind Domain, the magic wand in her hand suddenly felt incredibly heavy!

"Hmph, I'm just joking around with you guys, and you actually took it seriously?"

Iris, standing nearby, sneered, "Can you even react to my super-invincible instantaneous thousand-meter gravity manipulation?"

Qingluan, holding Xiaobai, could barely stand up and couldn't help but complain, "Stop laughing! Help me!"

"Hurry up, Iris!" Red Cotton urged, "I didn't react in time, I can't move!"

Iris laughed heartily, "See? I told you, I'm the strongest!"

Xiao Bai tilted her head and looked at her, "Help me."

Iris said matter-of-factly, "I didn't realize what was happening either, and I couldn't move."

"..."

The iris's gravity control does more than just immobilize the body.

Even the operation of magic has become extremely difficult.

I learned this trick from Dongjun.

Having witnessed Fuyu-kun freeze magic directly in the North Sea, Iris was always amazed by his skill.

She pondered that if magic could freeze, it should also be able to be controlled by gravity.

Let's give it a try.

Hey, you know what, it really works.

Back at headquarters, Iris's training consisted of constantly trying to manipulate magic using gravity.

In fact, the effect was very good. In the end, I became very skilled at it, and the effect was no worse than Dongjun's.
