As the woman's calm words fell, she threw the crystal into her chest, and it splashed ripples of light like it fell into a pool of water.

The next moment, a blow fell that was enough to crush the woman, but at the same time, a strange sound was heard -

"——The Wicked Requiem!"

The sound that once brought disaster and destruction to Luluye rang out in the witch's former residence. In the shadow of the giant claw, an extremely huge black fog spread out, burying most of the back garden in an instant.

Countless black birds flew out from the darkness and submerged the body of the crow-shaped monster like an erupting tide.

In the darkness...behind the woman's figure, countless wings emerged.

The suffocating aura of terror began to spread after the figure appeared...

"I offer you my praises!"

"The theater master of darkness and despair, the queen of evil who announces disaster!"

"Stupid! Depravity! Carnival!"

The giant claw finally fell, but it seemed to be still, stagnant there.

Next, the giant claw trembled slightly, but no matter what it did, it could not move at all, as if heavy iron was pressing down on the dust.

It was a slender hand covered with wings that grasped the monster's wing claw.

Then, he raised his hand slightly, and the monster's body began to move backwards, and the shadow also retreated, revealing the figure of the devil in the darkness.

It was a dark figure that was extremely similar to the Bird-type Demon King.

However, it is more feminine and full of the contradictory feeling of holiness and profanity.

On the evil demon king's body covered with black feathers, holes suddenly appeared one after another, and dark golden eyes emerged from them.

And in the wings behind her, several huge dark golden eyes opened, emitting a strange and extremely dangerous light.

Compared to the original bird-type demon king, this demon king had dark golden eyes growing on his body.

Finally, the piercing voice announced her name—

"——The most evil bird of misfortune!"

The devil bird made of black and dark gold raised its head slightly. Although its line of sight was lower than that of the crow-shaped monster, it seemed as if it was looking down.

A low and cold voice emerged from the pale mask:

"Next time, I will be gentler. Be patient, or the punishment will be more than this."

Chapter 46: The Bell

The Starry Observatory is the place where Luluye is closest to the starry sky, and is also the wizard tower of the Star Reader.

This place is shrouded in eternal night, and the stars in the universe can be seen clearly. It is also a holy place for astrological magical girls.

Fragments of starlight connected into a staircase, leading all the way to the distant sky. Above the sky shrouded in darkness, there was an observation deck with pale moonlight falling. The pale, frosty observation deck slanted down towards the silver moon, and the figure of a young girl remained motionless on it.

The girl's figure was shrouded in a silver-white robe dotted with silver-blue stars. Her calm eyes under the hood were looking up at the starry sky, as if she was waiting for something.

The Star-Reading Grand Secretary is a sage in the field of astrology, and many people also call her the predictor of fate.

Today, the Starry Observatory has temporarily stopped being used. Only the Grand Scholar of Star Reading is standing alone on this observation deck closest to the starry sky. He looks up at the sky calmly as usual, observing the changes of the stars.

In the nearly infinitely vast night sky, there are countless stars floating in the universe. Some of them seem to be wandering aimlessly in contemplation, some are burning like flying sparks, stagnant or disappearing, a moment or endless, all happen in this sand-like light.

However, this ordinary universe in the eyes of Grand Secretary Xingdu began to change slightly.

At first it was just a slightly conspicuous star.

It is a little brighter than other tiny or even invisible stars, and appears to be only slightly bright, but the light gradually rises, from an undetectable dot to become a bright spot.

The light gradually swallowed up the surrounding starlight, becoming more and more dazzling, and in the end even the moonlight was eclipsed by it.

It seemed like a foreshadowing of something, yet also like it had already happened.

The girl simply gently opened a thick ancient book in her hand.

The cover of the book depicts a black Ouroboros with a ring-like tail and a witch entangled in thorns, and the title is written in Guluye: "The Devil's Advent Record".

This is a book of history and prophecy written by Grand Secretary Xingdu herself, but no one has ever read it except her.

“When the stars return to their positions and the King’s Star returns to the night, the disasters of the past will happen again to Luluye, and the omniscient and omnipotent witch will also wake up from her slumber…”

She whispered her own prophecy.

Regulus 14, the star that symbolizes the king, when it rises into the night sky and becomes the brightest first-magnitude star, it represents the prelude to the king’s return.

Once upon a time, three hundred years ago, such a scene was also played out in the starry sky of Luluye.

That was when the witch Lilith absorbed the power of all the demon kings and became the overlord who surpassed everything.

Omniscient and almighty, supreme, above the crown, an existence beyond imagination...

The former overlord was such a terrifying existence.

When this supreme demon king was at his peak, even if all the crowned ones came together, they could only barely seal him.

And now, the star rising in the sky is just the prelude to the return of that existence.

This means that she has absorbed the power of one of the demon kings and completed the first step towards her complete resurrection.

Recalling that some time ago, the demon king who was resurrected in the human world was defeated by a magical girl named Yinyu, and the demon king's crystal disappeared, University Scholar Xingdu quickly understood the cause and effect of all this.

As a chain reaction after the prologue, several other demon kings will return to the human world one after another and become the nourishment for the resurrection of that being.

Until then…

When he understood all this, the chief astrologer of the Kingdom of Luluye, Grand Secretary Xingdu, did not show any worry or despair, but his hands holding the book trembled slightly.

Although the book tilted slightly due to the tilt of the viewing platform, revealing the first page:

'Lilith's Personal Quotes and Photos', with the owner of the book "Xingdu" written in small print below.

Under the hood, that doll-like stiff and delicate face showed a rare bit of emotion. She subconsciously hugged the book tightly and said expressionlessly -

"Welcome back... Master, my creator."

………………

The Court of the Round Table is where high-ranking officials from the capital of Luluye gather, such as the kingdom's guardian knight, the deans of various academies, high-ranking nobles, and magical girls. They gather here every once in a while to discuss matters concerning Luluye.

Today, this courtyard has gathered all the permanent members, which is rare. Even the Lord Bao Shi who rarely attends has come here.

In terms of status and strength, Princess Jewel Roland might be the most powerful magical girl in this meeting. However, due to her sensitive identity as a former student of the rebel, and because she herself has little interest, there are very few opportunities to see her.

But when she came over a few months after leaving Luluye, she made a rare appearance.

There were quite a few congressmen present who did not have a good relationship with her.

Most of them are because of some old memories.

Fortunately, Roland's relationship with the magical girl who presided over the meeting was not bad.

Shafilin, the leader of Luluye's guardian knights, the Queen's Holy Sword Knight, and the warrior with the most merits in the kingdom. She always wears the cloak of the chief knight bestowed by the Queen, on which are hung countless medals symbolizing glory.

Likewise, this is also a magical girl who has lived for a long time.

She was probably from the same era as the legendary black magic queen Belia.

Even the always arrogant Black Queen Belia once gave this evaluation to Miss Chief Paladin:

"Safilin, you have made great progress."

Not long after everyone arrived, Shafeilin announced the start of the meeting and then looked at Roland who had just arrived.

This young lady of the Paladin was always known for her seriousness and meticulousness, but in Roland's opinion, she could sometimes be called stubborn and clumsy.

"Mr. Bao Shi, please explain what you have encountered on Earth in the past few months and why you want to stay on Earth?"

Staying on Earth was Prince Jewel's personal decision, and it was not approved by the kingdom.

Although it's not a serious matter, it's confusing why Roland, who has never been interested in anything except gems and teachers, suddenly wants to stay on Earth.

And they stay for several months.

Also, not long after Roland stayed on Earth, the Demon King was resurrected.

This is more or less a coincidence.

It makes people wonder if Lord Roland knows something that they don't know and hasn't told them yet.

"Earth..." Roland smiled while gently playing with a gem in his hand.

"Just as the message that Shiori uploaded to you, a magical girl named Kirishima Ai on Earth, her sister was possessed by the demon king for unknown reasons."

"And in order to give them the strength to deal with stronger monsters, I gave them a little help."

"In the end, it triggered a miracle, that's all."

As a member of a distinguished aristocratic family, Roland spoke slowly and his every move was elegant and effortless.

But this look seemed a little frivolous to some people present.

A blond girl who looked quite high up in society tapped her fingers on the table unhappily and said coldly:

"Then what were you thinking when you gave the Overlord's magic crystal to the Earth girl with broken wings?"

Giving the Overlord's magic crystal to the holder of the broken wings, that is, the holder of the Overlord's magic tool, the combination of the two is equivalent to making the young witch reappear on Earth.

This is enough to make some people dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Roland raised his head slightly, pinched his monocle with one hand, and said calmly:

"From the results, apart from my teacher's power, there is no other crystal or magic tool that can enable a magical girl who is not from the Sanctuary to defeat the Demon King."

"Only my dear teacher is so powerful that he can defeat the Demon King without a seal."

She still spoke slowly, but didn't care that her words would further irritate the woman who was already dissatisfied.

After adjusting his glasses, Roland smiled.

"Or are you jealous because you didn't get anything left by the teacher?"

"——Roland!"

The girl instantly became annoyed and almost stood up. At this moment, Shafeilin, who was presiding over the meeting, raised her head, glanced at the blonde girl, and then knocked on the table steadily.

There was a slight noise on the round table, which made the blonde girl realize her mistake and she stopped shouting.

"Calm down, this is not the place for you to settle personal grudges."

Shafeilin said helplessly.

As the host, she was well aware of the troublesome relationships in the meeting.

This blonde girl was once a magical girl studying at the Bird Academy. She was talented and came from a prominent family. She was often compared with Roland, who was also a dazzling genius at the time.

At that time, many magical girls in the magic academy dreamed of becoming apprentices of the young Dean Lilith of the Bird Academy. Not ordinary students, but disciples who taught by words and deeds.

Obviously, at that time, only Prince Roland of Gemstones received the favor and preference of the witch.

After that, the blonde girl has been brooding over this matter.

Especially... after Roland participated in the holy war against the Overlord.

"Mr. Roland, let me ask you the same question as before. Is there any deep meaning behind your decision to stay on Earth? If so, please let me know."

Of course, Shafeilin didn't think of it as a conspiracy.

In her opinion, Roland, as one of the crowned ones, probably knew some information that they could not know with their status and strength, so he chose to stay there.

"It's simple. I found a snake-type weirdo there, so I'm a little concerned."

This is something that all other magical girls know.

Because Shiori Takanashi, the magical girl sent to Earth, has already reported to Luluye.

Snake-type monsters, in other words, are monsters created by the Overlord's magic. Even other demon kings cannot create them. In other words, they are the Overlord's servants and minions.

Aside from the Overlord, no other magical girl knows how the snake-type monsters were created.

Therefore, the appearance of snake-type monsters represents an event related to the Overlord.

Moreover, the appearance of this kind of weirdo is not an isolated case. As early as three years ago, the unprecedented snake-type Black Death had appeared on Earth.

All this seems to be foreshadowing something.
