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

After a pause, the prince continued, "Just like how it was done to me back then."

Why didn't they kill me, but only me?

Despite being a cruel and indifferent anomaly magical girl, she is a nightmare that is said to be so terrifying in the old world that it can make children stop crying. She spares almost no enemy, and even passing monsters and remnants of the old world are mercilessly crushed by this killing machine.

But it was precisely at that moment that he managed to save his life.

Why? Why, why, why...

Tormented by this, she couldn't sleep day or night. Hatred, resentment, and humiliation constantly hindered her progress and fueled her hysteria.

There's always that voice asking me.

Why deceive yourself instead of killing yourself?

Even now, seeing Lu Ya, with whom she seems to have taken her relationship to a new level, she is still being mercilessly crushed by the other party.

Such emotions are even more palpable.

So much so that she couldn't help but move closer and speak.

Finally, the conversation steered to this point, and she finally voiced the question that had been troubling her so much.

"Why are you going easy on me? What does that mean?"

She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted.

That day, as she drifted down from the world, she watched Ziyuan's lips move, and a multitude of emotions were overwhelmed by those words, leaving only melancholy and self-loathing.

In fact, given her pride and arrogance, even if she were tormented to the point of suicide, she would never have lowered her dignity to ask such a question.

Acknowledge your failure, acknowledge the humiliation you suffered, and accept that all the embarrassment and ugliness you experienced were your own doing.

Just to get an answer.

Why didn't you kill yourself back then?

However, when he saw Lu Ya, who seemed to be more familiar with Zi Yuan, the love and admiration in her eyes were so intense and unwavering, as if they could be drawn into silk, that the prince's heart couldn't help but flutter.

She didn't know what kind of emotion it was.

Having a girl who is so infatuated with someone she hates has greatly alleviated many of the tormenting emotions that were troubling her.

But that is not a source of relief or comfort when seeing someone suffering the same pain.

Instead, she felt more anxious, more uneasy, and even began to doubt herself.

Although she couldn't understand it, it ultimately forced her to give up some of her dignity and pride.

"Aren't you afraid that one day I'll come back and fight you again?"

The Qingyun Sect emphasizes decisiveness and ruthlessness, eliminating all threats and roots—a fact almost universally known in the old world.

If you are targeted by the Qingyun Sect, you will be completely eradicated.

The prince held her breath, unsure whether she was filled with anticipation or fear, awaiting his response.

That time was so long that the prince thought he was going to suffocate.

"Wilderness is not as good as leafy greenery."

However, Ziyuan's opening remarks left her stunned.

What do you mean?

Ziyuan said calmly, "Those who are defeated by me are never considered opponents by me. I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me."

The prince gripped the Void Mirror tightly, his smile growing increasingly sinister and crazed.

"Ha! You mean Lu Ya is more dangerous than me, and you see her as an opponent, so you want to eliminate her at all costs? Or do you also think that those old worlds were more dangerous than me?!"

How would I know?

The prince's surging emotions were interrupted once again.

She took a deep breath: "To you, everyone's food is the same, right?"

"Not really."

After saying that, Ziyuan slowly said, "Fellow Daoist is slightly stronger than junior friend. We must go all out against fellow Daoist to show respect; as for junior friend, we should naturally show mercy."

"I'd rather you show me some respect."

“A young friend deserves my respect.”

"Am I really that insignificant compared to Lu Ya?"

"It's just about strength."

For a fleeting moment, the prince wanted to unleash the power of the Void Mirror, but she restrained herself. "Just wait, one day I will make you kneel before me and take back those words!"

Ziyuan walked slowly with her hands behind her back in the distance, each step traversing several worlds as she approached Chongxu: "The hatred of the annulment of the engagement, the resentment of the defeat, if you harbor any hatred, you are welcome to come and seek revenge."

"No need. I, Itaun, never look back."

The prince's voice was just as it had been the first time they met.

Her unyielding pride and strong sense of self-respect are almost palpable in her voice and demeanor.

“Losing is losing. Even if you tricked me into marriage, it’s no big deal. I, Itaen, don’t care. I only wanted to use you back then. I just made a mistake and lost to you. I’m not worth being so petty. But since you look down on me, I’ll show you that I will win sooner or later!”

She poured out her heart in one breath, almost revealing her true feelings.

Suddenly, the magical girl walking in the void stopped.

Prince Ben was about to say something more when he suddenly sensed some strange fluctuations.

Her gaze immediately pierced through the void mirror and fell upon Shion.

Other things may be unable to track or see Ziyuan, but the Void Mirror is different. This supreme imperial weapon can see the location of every mirror space.

Because she had condensed almost all the technology of her Mirror Kingdom into this one.

Then I realized that Shion was indeed acting a little strange.

The body that could once awe the world suddenly seemed somewhat insignificant.

They even became weak.

Most importantly, even she could sense the magic emanating from the other party...

"Wait, you didn't use the Full Bloom method from my Land of Mirrors?"

Once the aster is in full bloom, it should be airtight, which is why it is so powerful and will not be harmed by being in full bloom.

Something suddenly stirred within her, something she had never considered before.

Immediately afterwards, Shion suddenly started coughing rapidly.

The voice grew weaker and weaker, filled with pain.

Mouthfuls of blood spurted out, staining a large part of the world red!

The prince paused for a moment, then took a deep breath for a long time.

She quietly said, "What are you up to now? You don't think you'll be fooled again, do you?"

"It's alright."

Ziyuan responded indifferently, wiping the blood from her mouth, "It's just a side effect of the Full Bloom. The power of the Full Bloom is truly domineering, and it has actually begun to backfire on itself. The Heavenly Demon is constantly absorbing and stealing my life and power."

"You are Shion," she murmured repeatedly, "You are Shion, how could you possibly have a problem over something so trivial!"

The purple-clad magical girl nodded. "Of course, I will not be defeated so easily. As the current emperor, even if my days are numbered, I will still suppress all ages! Come, Prince Itaun."

Even if you're going to die, I won't help you. Don't call me...

"Of course I won't trouble you."

Ziyuan stood with her hands behind her back. "Since you want to defeat me, this is your best chance. Now that my power is waning and my life is hanging by a thread, this may be your only chance to defeat me. I'm giving you this chance, which can be considered as settling our scores..."

The prince didn't really believe that this thing would actually affect Ziyuan.

After all, she was too powerful, so powerful that even Mankai seemed unable to shake her in the slightest.

Until the prince felt that the other party's magic was indeed leaking out continuously.

Just like the magical girl from before...

This strongest magical girl of our time is gradually losing her power.

A realization she had never had before gradually emerged in her mind.

She might really die...

"idiot……"

The prince, his voice a mix of bravado and cowardice, rebuked, "I am the Mirror King! What do you take me for? A despicable person who would take advantage of someone in distress like this!"

She tried to raise her voice, making it loud and angry.

"I'm just giving you an opportunity objectively..."

He gave a somewhat uncertain reply, which was followed by even stronger opposition.

"Don't underestimate me! I am Prince Itaan of the Mirror Kingdom! I don't need your charity or pity. One day, I will surpass you and defeat you. Then, I will make you my defeated opponent and repay you for all the humiliation and insults you have suffered!"

Even as he said this, the prince couldn't help but stand up.

I'm no longer worried about her.

It wasn't out of fear of her death.

Absolutely not.

But what if she dies like this?

Wouldn't it make me seem pathetic and incompetent for losing to her so easily before?

This is a matter of face for the entire Mirror Kingdom!

So it's not some laughable worry, nor is it a shameless concern after losing face—it's simply for myself, for the pride of the Mirror Kingdom.

"You are not allowed to die until I have taken my revenge."

"You just said you don't hold grudges..."

"Shut up! This is now, it's different from before. Of course I care. Being rejected by you in front of so many people, being defeated by you, becoming the king of a fallen kingdom in front of everyone, losing all my dignity and pride—how could I not care!"
