Chapter 425 - 40: Prohibition of Illegal Promotion
How long has it been since the Mirror Country was invaded by the magical girl Mu Jin and then sealed?
As the Mirror King, she can no longer remember.
All these years, she tirelessly sought to decipher the secrets of the Heart Image Remains, constantly replicating everything about the magical girl Mu Jin.
The strongest representative in their eyes was the future of the Mirror Country.
Over the long years, they replicated everything about Mu Jin.
Skills, abilities, even appearance and personality; everything was replicated precisely and completely.
However, the Psychic Realm, no matter how it was simulated, was far off the mark.
Even after analyzing the existing Heart Image Remains, they couldn’t replicate the same realm.
The only option was continuous erosion, seizing control of the Heart Image Remains.
Just one step away from final success.
The core of Heart Image Remains has completely fallen, now in their hands within the Mirror Country.
Yet suddenly, a purple magical girl emerged.
The accumulation and effort from past years seemed like a joke before her.
No matter how hard we worked, everything created by the technology of the Mirror Country was effortlessly destroyed by her.
Is there anything that can stop her?
Is there anything that can prevent her?
Searching throughout the Heart Image Remains for someone capable of stopping the purple magical girl.
Aside from others, among those who came, four were nowhere to be found.
No idea where they went; after all, the Heart Image Remains have not been fully controlled yet, if hiding in some corner, it’s indeed difficult to find them.
Of those currently found, whether it’s Iris or Cyan Simurgh, both have significant ties to that purple magical girl.
So she endowed the replicas with some intelligence, forcing Cyan Simurgh to seek help from Zi Yuan.
However, she said she wanted to become a true magical girl and no longer rely on others.
Fine, alright, you’re quite impressive.
She then found the magical girl Iris, who was crawling everywhere, beaten by the Catastrophe Dragon, and asked her to seek help from Zi Yuan.
The one beaten by the Catastrophe Dragon was so miserable; surely she needed help?
Yet she said she was the strongest and did not need anyone’s assistance.
For gods’ sake, you’re almost being killed by the Catastrophe Dragon and you claim to be the strongest!
Is there a "strongest" that nearly gets halved in this world?
The Mirror King nearly knelt before her, begging her to yield; asking for help isn’t shameful!
You’ve become a magical girl; instead of going alone, why not call on allies for a brawl?
Aren’t magical girls best at using numbers to overwhelm others? Under the guise of companionship, bonds, and unity...
After all, it eventually culminates in a team-up; calling Zi Yuan for help isn’t embarrassing!
In the end, that little girl stubbornly refused to acknowledge defeat, headstrong, actually relied on the falling purple meteor above, to pair with her Gravity Magic, and truly solved that Catastrophe Dragon.
Though ultimately wretched enough not to transform, any Mirror Beast could probably slaughter her.
Yet she steadfastly didn’t utter a single word of plea.
Remarkably, managed to continue climbing with her physique.
Even the Mirror King was somewhat silent in the end; are all magical girls of this generation superhumans?
She was slightly desperate.
Clearly, just one step away from fully mastering the Heart Image Remains, ruling the world!
Why? Why have I tried so hard, only to face such a monstrosity again?
Why does everything not go smoothly? Clearly just one step away!
Recalling sitting on the throne in the Mirror Country, triumphant moments back then.
Countless citizens bowed at her feet; at that time, everything in the world seemed within her grasp.
Even with the emergence of the magical girl Mu Jin, she never despaired.
Gambling the fate of the country, they still had the chance to turn the tide.
But now, that purple magical girl, step by step, pushes all preparations of the Mirror Country to the edge of the cliff.
Just one more step, and all will be irrevocable!
Once the remaining Mu Jin were quickly dealt with, and many Zi Yuan Puppets also vanished thereafter.
Indeed, such terrifying power couldn’t last long.
She looked up at the sole Zi Yuan, once again aroused in her was the will to fight!
One on one! There’s a chance!
She is the King of the Mirror Country! For the citizens, for the future of the Mirror Country!
Absolutely cannot lose here!
Even within despair, for the country, for the people, strive for that slim chance!
For the certain destruction of the Mirror Country!
"Zi Yuan!"
Manipulating Mu Jin’s body, abandoning all royal pride and dignity.
Abandoned the elegance she consistently maintained, desperate like the beasts she once looked down upon, the Mirror King unleashed a final, hysterical roar!
"Die!"
Zi Yuan merely grasped the head of the last Mu Jin, exerted a slight force, and crushed its core.
Honestly didn’t know why this Mu Jin felt more alive than the others.
It’s quite peculiar for a stray dog by the roadside to speak human language.
Yet she didn’t mind, casually tossed the body aside, quickly consuming it in purple flames.
The entirety of the Mirror Country’s devices on the tenth level were almost entirely burned down by her, main system already destroyed.
However, the remaining Mirror Country systems showed no intention of stopping.
Once confirming nothing else remained, Zi Yuan flew to the center of the plaza, shattered the pillar, and pulled An Shiyu out from within.
The girl, somewhat dazedly, opened her eyes, stared at her, and remained frozen for a while.
