What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

The anger that was originally directed at Lin Guohui instantly shifted and was directed at the government that was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

The intensity of this upheaval far exceeds that of previous ones, and it's unclear how much the government will have to pay to quell it.

However, that's a story for another time.

Zhong Hui, who had been sitting and cultivating, finally couldn't resist the repeated urging from Cangxing and Qianjia, and reluctantly interrupted his practice to read through all the messages one by one. Immediately afterwards, he joined the group of magical girls in a joint protest against the government.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It really is true that those who seize the moment win the world. Is this the power of mass unity... even if most of them are just blindly following the crowd?

…………

"Boom!!"

Above the sky, a long spear was suddenly hurled, instantly pinning the Creation Witch, who couldn't dodge in time, to the ground. The area within a radius of hundreds of miles collapsed and crumbled the moment the spear hit the ground.

The martial arts witch, who was locked in combat with Cecilia, seized this fleeting opportunity. She lashed out with her five fingers like claws, and with a "whoosh," her fingers pierced through Cecilia's chest cavity.

"ended."

The Martial Arts Witch let out a smug low shout, her palm suddenly tightening, unleashing a force powerful enough to shatter space, crushing her opponent's heart on the spot.

Cecilia's life force was instantly extinguished, and her body fell limply from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

"do you died?"

The Space Witch and another Creation Witch stared intently at the bleeding body on the ground, their expressions highly vigilant, fearing that she might be resurrected and return.

"Hmph!" The Martial Arts Witch landed mid-air, raising her eyes arrogantly, her tone filled with extreme arrogance. "Every part of my body is the strongest weapon, every strike is a fatal blow. No matter how strong Cecilia is, she is doomed to die today!"

Neither of them responded, and a full minute passed, but Cecilia on the ground remained motionless.

Only then did they completely lower their guard, breathe a sigh of relief, and turn to the Martial Arts Witch with sincere admiration: "As expected of someone who once personally killed a Seven-Star Magical Girl! Such terrifying combat power is comparable to those ancient Primordial Witches."

"Primordial Witches?" The Martial Arts Witch scoffed, "They were just born earlier. If I had been born in the earliest era, this world would have been under the rule of us witches long ago. Why would we be forced to retreat to our ancestral land by humans?"

“That’s true.” The other two chimed in, since the Martial Arts Witch was currently the strongest in the Divine Kingdom, they let her say what she wanted.

"Arrogance and conceit are poison that burns through your body. One day, it will take your life again."

A slender figure dressed in a nun's habit quietly appeared not far away, her expression serene as she silently observed everything in the scene.

Upon seeing who it was, the Martial Arts Demoness's eyes darkened. "Paper Kite, it's been so many years, I really... missed you terribly." She spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "I heard that shortly after you participated in the operation to kill me, you died from the corruption of the Soul Gem? I heard that feeling was not pleasant."

"Compared to consciousness being trapped in nothingness and forever sinking into oblivion, dying from the contamination of the Soul Gem is already a kind of mercy," Paper Kite said calmly.

Are you provoking me?

"You can think of it that way."

Holy light and murderous intent filled the entire arena. The two faced off, their auras clashing, neither giving an inch.

The Creation and Space Witches standing to the side both looked troubled. One was a martial arts witch, a member of their own family, with a rebellious personality, and the other was Otto's most beloved daughter.

No matter which side they favor today, they will find it difficult to extricate themselves from this mess.

Just as tensions were running high and a conflict was about to erupt, Paper Kite unexpectedly took the initiative to conceal its presence.

"You're smart enough to know your place!" The Martial Arts Demoness assumed that she was afraid, so she immediately concealed her aura with a smug look on her face, crossed her arms, and stood proudly.

So what if Otto is the only daughter?

Throughout her martial arts career, she was proud and unyielding, never submitting to anyone. Even when Otto himself came, she dared to confront him head-on.

Looking at her still arrogant and haughty appearance, Zhiyuan smiled faintly.

She's still exactly the same as before—arrogant, conceited, and utterly foolish. No wonder, despite possessing such formidable strength, she ultimately fell victim to the machinations of various nations and met a tragic end under the siege of magical girls.

Seeing that the two had not started fighting, the Creation and Space Witch secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Cecilia's corpse on the ground: "The kite has arrived, what should we do with this body?"

"Don't you need materials? Take them back for research."

Having received the Martial Arts Witch's permission, the Creation Witch no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and prepared to take away the remains.

But just as her fingertips were about to touch the body, a sudden change occurred!

A long spear ripped through space and time, instantly obliterating the unsuspecting Creation Witch with unstoppable force! Time itself was thrown into chaos, and the surrounding space collapsed and shattered layer by layer.

A figure, as radiant and dazzling as the sun, strode back from the rushing, golden river.

The kite gazed at Cecilia, now reborn, its expression calm and unwavering, showing no surprise whatsoever. It murmured softly, "Could it be you? Or someone else...?"

She gazed at the golden river that had not yet completely dissipated, trying to glimpse a fragment of her destiny's future within the surging, flowing trajectory of time.

But time is taboo and cannot be pried into. Anyone who tries to touch the secrets of time will eventually bring about an irreparable disaster.

The golden river flows endlessly, without beginning or end.

Amidst the surging waves, fragmented images of the past and future occasionally flash by, but these fleeting glimpses are too scattered and have no real value; they are not the answers the kite seeks.

In just two breaths, the power that allowed her to peer into time was almost exhausted. Without hesitation, she burned herself to forcefully resist the erosion of time.

As she peered into the past, crimson tears of blood streamed from her eyes, her waist-length black hair turned frost-white inch by inch, and her delicate skin rapidly deteriorated under the torrent of time, etching irreversible lines of aging.

Fortunately, the extreme effort eventually yielded some results.

Just as the river was about to disappear, she finally captured a clear and useful image.

In the scene, a pink-haired girl holds a golden longbow, her figure slender and lonely, fighting alone against the overwhelming and boundless deep darkness.

Is it her?

The kite trembled, growing ever more eager. It burned itself out with all its might, holding its breath, wanting only to see the face of that mysterious figure clearly.

But that figure seemed to transcend the unknown taboos of time, or perhaps it was a forced obstruction by the rules of time, or interference from some unseen external force.

In short, the next second, one of the kite's eyeballs suddenly exploded, and scalding hot blood gushed out.

At the same time, the ancient, ever-flowing golden river completely disappeared from the void.

The backlash from forcibly peering into time is now being paid off.

Everything her body had endured was now set in stone and irreversible; her remaining eye was clouded with gloom, her vision becoming cloudy and dim.

The young girl, who was in the prime of her life, aged more than twenty years in just a few dozen breaths, and her clear and bright eyes were ruined.

This is the price of unauthorized spying on time.

No one noticed what was happening.

At this moment, everyone in the divine kingdom focused their attention on the battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place.

Of the three witches who initially joined the battle, only the Martial Arts Witch and the Space Witch remain in the fight.

As for the Creation Witch, all her high-level bodies were killed, and now she can only hide in a five-star body and watch from afar, no longer able to intervene in the battle.

Having died once, Cecilia's strength has undergone a complete transformation, making her even stronger than before. The Martial Arts Witch, who could previously hold her own against her, is now completely suppressed by her. The Space Witch is in an even more precarious situation, unable to confront her directly and forced to constantly maintain distance, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and interfere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Cecilia's spear rose and fell like falling stars, each swing carrying the light of divine punishment. Under the relentless bombardment, this sacred kingdom, which once resembled a paradise, was now a scene of devastation and ruins.

The feeling of breaking free from constraints made her feel incredibly exhilarated. This place did not belong to any country on Earth, so she no longer needed to suppress herself. She could finally unleash her full power without reservation.

A powerful and unparalleled shot swept the Martial Arts Witch thousands of meters away, followed by a burst of dazzling light from the gun tip. The Martial Arts Witch, barely regaining her footing, leaped to dodge, only to have the entire sky behind her pierced by countless streams of light, shattering like a sieve.

The martial arts witch, who had been suppressed, was now filled with rage. She threw several punches, forcefully repelling the charging Cecilia. Her voice boomed, shaking the heavens and earth: "Only martial arts are pure, and only martial arts can reign supreme! I am the strongest in this world!"

As she had said before, her body had been tempered to the extreme, every part of her body was a weapon, and every move she made was a deadly move.

This is the absolute confidence of the former number one witch.

Cecilia responded with a sneer. In her eyes, this once strongest witch was now nothing more than the futile barking of a defeated dog.

The two figures collided again with a deafening roar.

The collision of extreme forces unleashed a monstrous storm, the aftershocks raged, space collapsed, the earth cracked, and the entire world seemed to be facing its end.

"Run!"

"If these two lunatics keep fighting like this, the world will be completely destroyed!"

"Where is the Lord God? Why has he not taken action to stop this?"

The divine envoys watching from afar were pale with fear, and they all screamed and desperately fled to avoid the sweeping aftershocks of the battle.

"boom!"

"Boom!!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The sounds of explosions that seemed to shatter the heavens and the earth continued incessantly.

Every clash between the two was enough to shatter a hundred-mile territory. In the end, even the Space Witch, who had been waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, dared not stay any longer and decisively withdrew.

so horrible!

This battle was terrifying!

The battle has already surpassed the seven-star level, and its destructive power has probably reached the legendary eight-star realm.

On the vast battlefield, only the kite, who stood watching from afar, and Cecilia and the Martial Arts Witch, who continued to fight to the death, determined to determine the victor.

"Is it coming back? What a pity..."

The kite gazed into the distance, sighed softly, and a flash of light appeared in its palm, revealing a longbow adorned with white flowers on both sides.

She strode toward the center of the battlefield, the terrifying aftershocks of the battle sweeping across her being completely blocked by the cross behind her.

As she moved forward, her aura steadily increased, and her original black and white nun's robes quietly transformed into a dreamlike and exquisite pure white cherry blossom pink gown. The dress was outlined with delicate gold trim, and the neckline was perfectly tailored. A crystal flower with a flowing halo was affixed to her chest, paired with seven star marks drawn together, shining brightly.

Her long, frost-white hair cascaded down to her waist, and a magnificent crown adorned her head, embellished with crystal flowers and thorns. A cherry-pink bow tied at her waist, delicate ribbons fluttering in the wind, and layers of lace paired with light tulle outlined the gracefully flowing skirt.

This is the original form of the magical girl Kite.

The two, who were locked in fierce combat, instantly sensed another powerful aura approaching and stopped fighting simultaneously.

The martial arts enchantress demanded sharply, "Paper Kite, what do you want to do?!"

Cecilia's lips trembled slightly: "Kite...is it really you? Why is your hair all white? Your skin, your eyes...what happened?"

“The punishment for breaking the rules.” Paper Kite’s eyes were gentle, and she smiled faintly. “Speaking of which, I should thank you, Cecilia. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to witness that scene.”

"What do you mean?"

Paper Kite did not answer, but said softly to herself, "You should leave. My father, Otto, is about to return. His strength far surpasses martial arts, and he is not someone who can be easily contended with."

“Father?” Cecilia’s mind was in turmoil, filled with doubt. “I remember your parents died a long time ago, didn’t they? You’ve always been alone, and you even raised quite a few magical girls after you grew up…”
