What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Sensing that the calamity beast was about to launch a counterattack, she had no choice but to abandon this attack.

After all, he didn't have Zhong Hui's incredible healing ability.

One person stands in mid-air, while another steps on the ground, gathering momentum.

The two stared at the intact metal monster below, bearing only faint marks. Cang Xing frowned and couldn't help but speak:

"Is this a calamity beast? Its defensive power is outrageous!"

"You don't recognize him?" Zhong Hui asked, somewhat surprised.

Cangxing is a native of this world and a three-star magical girl with far more experience than ordinary people. Logically speaking, she shouldn't fail to recognize the calamity beast.

“I’ve never seen one before.” Cang Xing shook his head slightly, his tone solemn. “Most of the calamity beasts I know are constructed from negative emotions, elements of heaven and earth, the bodies of living beings, and the power of witches. This is the first time I’ve seen a calamity beast with a mechanical metal structure that looks like a mecha.”

"Never mind that for now, it's about to attack again!"

As soon as Zhong Hui finished speaking, the calamity beasts began to stir and rise.

Cangxing's figure flickered and darted, using his agile movements to get close to the target, find an opening, and slashed his scythe fiercely at the giant wolf's arm.

Zhong Hui then locked the other arm of the monster, gathered his strength in both hands, and forcefully gripped the metal limb, attempting to tear it off directly!

With its arms firmly restrained, the calamity beast lost its ability to attack head-on and could only let out sharp, piercing electronic roars as its massive body struggled and trembled violently.

The two of them simultaneously increased their strength, tightly restraining its body, and trying their best to break its arms.

"Zizi..."

A subtle yet dense electrical buzzing quietly emanated from the beast's body.

Suddenly, large specks of static and electric arcs flashed across its eyes, and within seconds, its pupils dimmed, and its brute strength dissipated, leaving it completely unable to move.

At that very moment, the once incredibly hard and immovable metal arm suddenly became soft and powerless.

The two of them used their strength to pull the mechanical arm off.

Chapter 63 Unknown Origin

On the street, a giant steel wolf with a severed arm lay sprawled on the ground, tiny sparks of electricity crackling and sputtering from the clean break.

Zhong Hui and Cang Xing each carried a heavy piece of severed steel arm, looking down silently at the motionless remains of the calamity beast on the ground.

He died like that?

A feeling of disbelief welled up in both of them at the same time.

The fact that the unstoppable monster was defeated simply by removing its arms is extremely unusual and bizarre.

Even more strangely, according to the previous rule, the body of the calamity beast would automatically dissipate after it died, leaving only a seed of lamentation.

There was absolutely no way that a giant steel wolf could stand like this in the middle of an empty street.

"Why don't we go over and check it out?" Zhong Hui turned to Cang Xing beside him and suggested softly.

"No, I have a feeling it's dangerous," Cang Xing immediately advised, her brows furrowed with wariness. "It might be a trap set by this calamity beast in disguise."

“We can’t just stand here and wait.” Zhong Hui pondered for a moment. “How about this, I possess the secret of the ‘Zhe’ character. As long as my physical body isn’t completely destroyed, I can heal myself at lightning speed. You just need to keep watch for me. If you notice anything unusual, just take action immediately.”

Cangxing hesitated slightly, then quickly weighed the pros and cons before finally nodding: "Okay. But you must be very careful. You can't be careless about anything related to witches."

Zhong Hui nodded in agreement and slowly stepped forward. Cang Xing gripped the sickle tightly and followed closely behind, his nerves taut, maintaining the highest level of vigilance at all times.

"Is this really a calamity beast?" Zhong Hui squatted down, looking at the tangled wires exposed on the giant wolf's body, full of doubt. "To me, this thing looks more like a mechanical creation."

He tentatively reached out his finger and gently touched the exposed wires.

A fine, tingling electric current instantly coursed through my body; the sensation was faint and utterly harmless.

He casually tore off a handful of colorful wires and threw them aside, then put his two fingers together, exerted force, and stabbed at the giant wolf's head.

The steel body that was just moments ago incredibly hard and strong enough to withstand the combined attack of two people is now as fragile as soft tofu, easily pierced with two deep holes.

"This thing has become so fragile, it's completely different from before," Cangxing said, remaining vigilant.

Zhong Hui formed his five fingers into claws, exerted a little force, and tore off another large piece of the giant wolf's chest shell, exposing the intricate wires and densely packed precision instruments inside.

He didn't delve into the internal structure, but instead looked down at the iron block in his palm. Suddenly, he tightened his grip and the hard steel was twisted and collapsed in an instant.

After a moment's thought, Zhong Hui frowned slightly, his face full of puzzlement: "This seems to be just ordinary steel... Strange, if it were ordinary iron, how could it have withstood our combined attack just now?"

"Uh...could they be advance troops sent to Earth by aliens?" Cangxing blurted out, his imagination running wild.

Just as the two were completely baffled, the light and shadow ahead twisted and changed, and three figures slowly walked out.

It is Altai, twilight, and fluorescence.

As soon as the three arrived at the scene, they caught a glimpse of the enormous steel behemoth in the middle of the street.

Mu Yue's eyes widened, and she quickly stepped forward, gently poking the cold, hard wolf's body with her finger. Her face was full of amazement: "Wow, this is the calamity beast that caused trouble earlier? Its design is so cool, it looks exactly like a mechanical robot from a science fiction movie!"

“This…something’s not right.” Fluorescent clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice weak and timid. “After a calamity beast dies, it should dissipate directly, leaving no intact body behind.”

Cangxing turned to look at Altai, who had been deep in thought the whole time, and threw the question at him: "Altai, don't you always say that you have the highest IQ and the most extensive knowledge? Now is your chance to show it."

"Oh? So you're admitting that your IQ is lower than mine?"

I was careless... Cangxing's face darkened.

Altai stopped arguing with her, his smile fading as he frowned and stared at the steel behemoth on the ground, his eyes filled with doubt.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke with a hint of uncertainty: "In my memory, there was indeed a witch who could create these kinds of mechanical monsters. But that witch was confirmed to have died eight years ago."

She paused briefly, then added, "And even the calamity beasts she created herself will dissipate after they die, leaving no intact bodies behind."

"Which witch is it?" Mu Yue quickly asked.

“The Creator Witch.” Altai murmured the name that had been forgotten. “Eight years ago, during the tsunami battle, she was personally killed by Paper Kite, the first magical girl of China.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present except Zhong Hui's expression turned somber, clearly indicating that they had a deep impression of this legendary figure.

There were only a handful of original magical girls, and each one is deeply remembered by their successors, with Kite being the most renowned among them.

She fought countless battles throughout her life, constantly on the front lines against witches.

However, the ending was incredibly regrettable. Five years ago, her soul gem was completely corrupted by filth, and even a high-level lamentation seed could not purify it. In the end, there was no way to save her, and she met a regrettable end.

"Could it be that a new witch with the same abilities has emerged?" Cangxing wondered in a low voice.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Altai immediately retorted. “Even if the ability is replicated, it doesn’t change the inherent rules of the Calamity Beast. It’s impossible for it not to dissipate after death, and it doesn’t even leave behind the Seed of Lamentation.”

"Could it be... that this isn't a calamity beast at all?" Fluorescent whispered his conjecture.

"What else could it be but a calamity beast?" Mu Yue couldn't help but tease. "It can't really be an alien invasion, can it? After fighting the witch, we're going to fight aliens. Are we going to fight aliens and then another wave of Xenomorphs? Avatar?"

Several people held differing opinions, and there was no definitive conclusion.

At this moment, Zhong Hui slowly spoke, revealing his speculation: "Perhaps it is due to the changing times, the great changes that have befallen witches, and the changes that have occurred. The ironclad rule that the calamity beasts would perish and disappear has long since vanished along with the witches of the old era."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, silently considering the rationale behind his words.

Just then, Fluorescent cautiously raised her hand, her voice filled with trepidation and unease: "If all the calamity beasts that appear in the future don't disappear after they die like this... then, then will there be no more Seeds of Lamentation in the future?"

A simple sentence instantly caused the expressions of the people present to change drastically.

Without the Seed of Lamentation, the Soul Gem cannot be purified.

For all magical girls, this was tantamount to a death sentence.

"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly." Altai quickly calmed everyone down and analyzed the situation calmly. "The identity of this thing is still in doubt; it may not be a real calamity beast. Let's take the remains back to the company first. I will report all the unusual information to headquarters and await the investigation results and reasonable explanations."

There was no better solution at the moment, and everyone nodded in agreement without objection.

Altai beckoned to the fluorescent light beside him, and "Blending with the Light and Dust" was activated in an instant. The two figures, along with the remains of the giant steel wolf on the ground, completely disappeared from the spot.

Only Zhong Hui, Cang Xing, and Mu Yue remained at the scene.

Just moments ago, Mu Yue had a serious expression, but now she composed herself and quietly moved closer to Zhong Hui, who was in his transformed state. She thought to herself: "Looks so good! And smells so good too!"

"Let's go, there's getting more and more onlookers," Cangxing said at the right moment.

During the fierce battle, the fleeing civilians kept their distance and took photos and videos.

As the battle ended and the danger was over, a large number of passersby quickly gathered around, pointing and discussing from a safe distance, with the sound of mobile phone shutters clicking incessantly.

Cangxing was the first to transform into a dazzling rainbow and soar into the sky, flying away from the scene.

Zhong Hui followed closely behind and set off.

Only Mu Yue stood still, facing the dense crowd of onlookers. Instead of dodging, she smiled brightly, just like an idol on a show, and waved enthusiastically to everyone.

She struck various cute and lively poses, smiling brightly at the camera: "Hello everyone, I'm Magical Girl Twilight! Please vote for me in this year's 'Current Moe Queen' competition!"

She paused, then added playfully, "Oh, by the way! That pink-haired, blue-clad magical girl was Zhong Hui, my sweetheart. Everyone, please be sure to vote for him!"

After saying that, she struck several cute poses for the camera, and after taking photos with everyone, she turned into a streak of light, satisfied, and left, chasing after the two figures.

The onlookers on the spot were all smiles and discussing it enthusiastically.

I was really lucky today. My life was safe, my property was not damaged, and most importantly, I got to see five magical girls in person.

What's even more surprising is that a cute and charming magical girl also took the initiative to interact with the audience.

Chapter 64 Creating a Witch

As night deepened and a gentle breeze blew, dispelling the daytime heat and draping the surrounding city in a tranquil and tender veil of darkness.

After dinner, Cangxing, carrying the new clothes she had bought during the day, hummed a sad little tune as she went to the bathroom to wash up.

Next to the sofa in the living room, Little White, having eaten and drunk his fill, lay lazily.

It kept rubbing its furry head against Zhong Hui's ankle, making soft, sweet whimpering sounds, looking like a spoiled and adorable creature.

Faced with such an adorable creature, Zhong Hui swatted it away in annoyance, his gaze fixed on the phone screen. He complained, "You are a demon beast, with wild blood flowing through your veins. Mountains and seas are your hunting grounds. How can you stay at home all day, living a lazy life where food is served to you? That's too decadent."

Listening to the male owner's familiar nagging, Xiao Bai shook its head and trotted to the bathroom door with its short legs, where it lay down.

The lady of the house is the best; she loves me unconditionally.

Zhong Hui was too lazy to argue with this unambitious fellow. At the moment, he was busy chatting with the communications officer, Li Nianjiao.

Since joining the Destiny organization, the two have chatted for a few minutes every day. It is this daily written communication that has led to a rapid improvement in his handwriting skills; he can now write five simple Chinese characters in ten seconds.

As for typing... all I can say is that he tried.
