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

It is merging with the figures of its mother and predecessors.

It seems like nothing has changed.

A scene that has echoed in my mind countless times.

It happened in reality once again.

Qingluan struggled on, frantically squeezing out her magic power, and stood up again in the gravity field, walking forward step by step, constantly reaching out to Iris.

With its last half leg pressed into the ground, Qingluan, who had staggered and fallen to the ground, finally calmed down.

He kept grabbing at the soil on the ground, his fingers filled with dirt, his fingernails flipped up, desperately trying to crawl out!

"Don't waste your energy, she's already lost consciousness. Any kind of miracle can be triggered, and any wish can be granted. That's the power of a magical girl. But whether it's magic or a miracle, there's always a price to pay."

Qingluan stopped what she was doing and looked at the little white dog that had grown up with her since it was a cub. The unfamiliar coldness she felt was stronger than ever before.

Every day and night, they're by my side, eating with me, sleeping with me, going to school with me, and fighting with me.

Little White, who is inseparable from her every step of the way, has practically taken up half of her life...

The incubator smiled gently and happily. "If Xiaoqing feels sad, then bloom in full bloom too. After blooming in full bloom, take the cost of blooming in place of Iris."

"If it's Xiaoqing, maybe she can change fate, save Iris, and overturn everything before us."

"The unavoidable costs and withering, Xiaoqing should just overturn them all. That way, Iris will surely be happy too."

"Or is it that even so, Xiaoqing will still hesitate? She's always so indecisive, which is why Xiaoqing is always..."

"Let me bloom in full glory!" Qingluan cried, her hands, covered in blood and filthy, clutching the seed. "I want to bloom in full glory!"

The incubator stood up and walked towards Qingluan. "Then close your eyes and make a wish. Let's work together to create a miracle, save that idiot Iris, and fulfill the wishes of magical girls. That's our mission, and we can do it this time..."

[The Heavenly Tribulation is ready]

[The Heavenly Lock Spirit Six-Nine Heavenly Thunder has been locked.]

[With an unstable foundation, not yet at perfection, recklessly attempting to break through to the ultimate realm, divine punishment will descend!]

Before the incubator could finish speaking, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky! It pierced through the remains of the Heart Image and crashed down on the Iris!

The deep purple lightning, with its magical aura, undoubtedly belonged to Miss Shion!

The terrifying lightning even turned the black hole around the iris purple!

The Azure Phoenix, who had just prepared itself to fully bloom, was stunned. Even the incubator, after being blown around several times by the impact of the heavenly lightning, looked at the rolling heavenly lightning with disbelief in its dark eyes.

"What's this……"

Although the first bolt of lightning dyed the black hole purple, it failed to dispel it. The iris inside continued to lose its vitality and power, like a deflated balloon.

"As expected..."

Just as the incubator was about to let the Azure Phoenix bloom fully, a second bolt of heavenly lightning struck down with a deafening roar!

This time, the black hole surrounding the iris dissipated somewhat!

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

A continuous stream of lightning struck down from the sky, and the black hole around Iris was completely shattered!

Qingluan licked her lips. The many emotions and determination that had surged within her were now in disarray, and she felt somewhat dizzy from being struck by those bolts of lightning.

She watched as the last bolt of lightning struck Iris with a deafening roar, causing the blooming flower atop Iris's head to begin to shrink!

Qingluan had seen the seeds of her predecessors after they had fully bloomed; after flowering, they would gradually wither away.

After they have all withered, they will fall into a permanent slumber.

But before my eyes, the blooming iris flower had shrunk... or rather, retreated!

It transformed back into a blue miracle seed!

[Heavenly Tribulation Mission: Defeating Your Cultivation Realm]

[Task Completed]

Tribulations are a common occurrence for immortals; young lady, please start over.

Qingluan looked around and realized that the sound was coming from the mirror next to her.

The system voice from the Land of Mirrors?

Seeing the girl lying on the ground, no longer exuding the aura of decay and loss of life, Qingluan finally snapped out of her shock.

Not knowing whether her emotions were relief, astonishment, or the ecstasy of surviving a disaster, Qingluan ran over and picked up Iris.

Although Iris was hit directly by the purple magical lightning, she was unharmed.

Did that purple magical lightning simply eliminate her magic and magical armor along with her magic, causing a magic power gap and resulting in the failure of her full potential?

No, it may have done other things that Qingluan was unaware of.

Is that... Miss Shion's power?

She really can do anything...

Feeling the miracle seed of the iris, I noticed that the pure magic within it had diminished considerably.

But most of it was just residue.

Although Qingluan didn't know how to describe it, there was a kind of emotion left over from the seed.

It looks like sugarcane that has been chewed and then dried.

What is this thing...?

Suddenly, Little White jumped up from behind and landed on Iris's body.

"Ah, what a pity, it was so close to success."

Little White let out a sigh, then tilted its head, and a milky white light began to shine from its body.

"As expected of a special individual, Magical Girl Shion is quite troublesome. She can even do something like this, interrupting her full bloom. There's really nothing I can do about it."

As the milky white light shone from Xiaobai's body, the Miracle Seed of the Iris began to continuously release power towards the milky white light.

Even the iris itself began to lose its power and life force again...

Qingluan grabbed Xiaobai and held it down tightly. "What are you doing, Xiaobai?!"

The transformed magic gathered in his hands, preventing the incubator from continuing to draw power from the iris.

“She didn’t do anything, she just made her pay the price for the miracle. Isn’t it strange that she didn’t pay for the meal, Xiaoqing?”

This time, Qingluan finally ignored the incubator's nonsense and said, word by word, "You deceived Iris Mankai! And you wanted to kill her, didn't you!"

“I didn’t lie to her. I told her the price of the full bloom, and she agreed. It’s a fair deal. I won’t kill her. I’ll just make her pay the price of a miracle. After that, she can still live on in her eternal dream. Isn’t that good?”

The surrounding mental images had begun to disintegrate, and the glass above his head and various spatial distortions made everything around him unstable.

Qingluan breathed heavily, clutching Xiaobai.

This companion, with whom she had lived for over a decade, was now looking at her with an innocent yet sad expression.

"Like, Senior?" Qingluan asked in a low voice, "Like Senior, never to wake up again?"

"Perhaps she will wake up."

"How long are you going to keep lying to me, Incubator!"

The incubator blinked its dark, round pupils. "I've never lied to you, Xiaoqing. We're best friends. Why would I lie to you?"

Amidst dust, pebbles, and shards of fallen glass, she bowed her head and embraced her best friend.

Various breaking sounds came from around her, the booming noise making her dizzy.

The girl in his arms had her chest rising and falling slightly.

When I came to my senses, I had already gripped the incubator's neck tightly and lifted it up.

"Are you going to kill me? Xiao Qing..."

The incubator, struggling to breathe, made a face that looked like it was about to cry. "Aren't we... partners?"

The Azure Phoenix raised its head and smiled, "Yes, Little White is my best partner."

When she lost her mother, was disliked by her father, and was all alone, it was Xiaobai who stayed by her side, accompanied her, and comforted her.

She still remembers the night she lost her mother and was almost killed by her father. The incubator sat by her bedside and stroked her head with its claws.

I gently comforted her, telling her not to be afraid and that she hadn't done anything wrong.

All the hardships were meant to make her the most dazzling magical girl.

It was Xiaobai who gave Qingluan the dream of becoming a magical girl.

It was Xiaobai who would sit by her pillow every night, telling her stories of magical girls to lull her to sleep, and even singing to her.

It was Xiaobai who described to her what a miracle looked like and showed her the color of happiness. She regained her courage to live until she was able to step out of her home and face the whole world.

"Then, why..."

The girl, tilting her head and smiling, had tears welling up in her eyes: "The days I spent with Shiro were truly happy and blissful. Without you, I wouldn't be able to become a magical girl, and I don't even know how I would survive."

"I really like Xiaobai the most."

Layer upon layer of space collapsed, and the incubator kicked at Qingluan's hands with its four legs, trying to break free from her restraints. However, Qingluan simply exerted her strength again naturally.

A cracking sound came from the incubator's neck.

"But a pet is a pet."

His once dark eyes gradually dimmed and lost their light.

"No matter how many times I say 'partner,' it's still a pet."

Tears streamed uncontrollably down the girl's face, her efforts to maintain a smile only resulted in a distorted and torn expression: "People are the most important thing, people are the most important thing, Xiaobai!"

A snap.

She looked at the incubator, which had completely lost its life, limp and no longer moving, and let go of its hand.

The incubator's body gradually dissipated.

She hugged the iris tightly.

"I... I won't make the wrong choice again, Mom. I'll never... make the wrong choice again..."
