The pitch-black Abyssal Cocoon was completely saturated with color.
Its aura gradually shifted from eerie to holy.
As the brilliance of the Fusion Magic Cannon faded, the giant cocoon finally showed signs of movement.
Everyone watched the cocoon with bated breath.
By now, everyone knew who would emerge victorious from this duel.
If the Demon had won, the cocoon’s color would never have changed like this.
Only if Luo Shuangyue won would the power of the Magical Girls be able to permeate and purify the cocoon.
Cr-crack…
Streams of rainbow light poured out from the multicolored cocoon.
These rays intertwined in the air, gradually forming the shape of a maiden.
The girl curled her body, wrapped entirely within a pair of rainbow butterfly wings that were even larger than she was.
As time slowly passed, the girl absorbed the radiance into her body. her form finally transitioned from its original illusory state to something solid.
Eventually, she opened her eyes.
Her silver-bright pupils, stripped of their darkness, looked toward the girls waiting in the distance, causing their hearts to tighten.
Then, she raised her hand and spoke. “I succeeded!”
Her voice traveled through the medium of Vast Power, reaching the ears of every Magical Girl.
The lingering worry vanished in an instant, replaced by joy. Everyone felt a sense of relief.
They had won once again!
Inside the Lunar Base.
“Stop pinching me. What’s there to pick at? It’s just an ordinary Magic Power body.”
“How can you call this an ordinary Magic Power body? Do you have any idea how unique your current physical form is? You’re the only one in the world with a body like this.” Inis circled Luo Shuangyue over and over, her eyes burning with a desire to slice Luo Shuangyue open for research.
White Night and the Holy Sovereign sat to the side, curiously observing the current Luo Shuangyue.
Previously, in her Demon state, Luo Shuangyue had black hair and red eyes—the symbols of being polluted by Demonic Energy and Evil Intent.
Now, the darkness had faded, and she had returned to her original appearance with white hair and silver eyes.
The only difference was that the rainbow butterfly wings on her back could not be retracted for the time being.
“Alright, alright. Boss, don’t forget that our mission isn’t over yet.”
After standing still to let Monice run various instruments over her, Luo Shuangyue quickly interrupted the excited Monice to remind her that things were far from finished.
Defeating that Demon was not their ultimate goal; it was merely a necessary path to reach it.
The Demon was just a weapon—a weapon that could be infinitely regenerated.
Given the power of the Otherworld, it wouldn’t take long to recreate such a weapon.
The Great Crisis facing humanity had not yet been fully resolved.
Truthfully, the Demon was just child’s play.
When the two worlds truly fought to the point of mutual destruction, they wouldn’t be able to solve that crisis as easily as they had this one.
Therefore, they had to fix the problems before everything became irreversible.
“Right when I broke out of the cocoon, I seemed to hear the voice of our world. She told me to destroy the Otherworld to help her win this war,” Luo Shuangyue said, pointing to her head.
Her current strength was undoubtedly the greatest in both realms.
The most powerful Demons of the two worlds had merged into one, then undergone the baptism of the Full Bloom Class Magical Girls’ Fusion Magic Cannon.
This had indeed made it impossible for the world to ignore her existence.
But it still wasn’t enough.
“I told her the best choice was a ceasefire, but she acted like she didn’t hear a word I said.” Luo Shuangyue threw up her hands helplessly.
Trying to use words to persuade these two worlds was indeed too difficult. It was better to think about how to use “physical reasoning.”
“I feel like my power has stepped onto a certain line. As long as I get a bit stronger, I can make the world stop ignoring me,” Luo Shuangyue stated plainly.
The power of the Demon now completely belonged to her.
Now, she needed to gather power outside of the Demon.
The combined Magic Power of the Magical Girls was one part; the other part was the power of the Holy Sovereign’s world.
In that world, there were also experts no weaker than Full Bloom Class Magical Girls. If their powers were gathered together, it would be formidable.
Luo Shuangyue did not believe that if she gathered the power of all living beings from both worlds, those two “deaf” worlds could still ignore her.
“So, do you need me to go and gather the others?” the Holy Sovereign asked, raising her hand.
Even though she was facing her own daughter, she was acting as obediently as if she were the daughter instead.
“Yes. I plan to carry out the final phase of the plan at the World Junction. That is the front line where the two worlds clash. Their attention will definitely be focused there.” Luo Shuangyue nodded.
Within the opponent’s world, the Magical Girls and the lifeforms from the Holy Sovereign’s side could not exert their full power.
However, at the junction of the two worlds, their power would not be significantly affected.
“I will go there first and try to communicate with the world again.” Luo Shuangyue pointed to the intersection of two spherical worlds on the electronic map, explaining her thoughts.
The worlds were not actually shaped like that, but the model was just to help others understand the situation.
“We just went through a massive battle. The mentors need to rest for a few days to recover their strength. Dad, you can use this time to gather the powerhouses from your side.”
To fire that decisive Fusion Magic Cannon, almost every Full Bloom Class Magical Girl had overextended herself.
In the Idealistic State, they felt high-spirited and couldn’t sense fatigue.
But as soon as the Idealistic State ended, the exhaustion and overextension came rushing back, sending those seniors grumbling back to the Mother Star to rest.
Only a few diligent Magical Girls remained at their posts, such as Monice, White Night, and the naturally hardworking Cecilia.
“This time, they only consumed a large amount of Magic Power. At most, they will fully recover their combat effectiveness in three days,” Monice added.
The speed at which Magical Girls recovered mana varied from person to person, but at the slowest, it wouldn’t take more than three days to refill their bars.
“Three days? That’s enough.” The Holy Sovereign nodded.
The powerhouses of her world were almost all concentrated within the Sanctuary. It wouldn’t take much effort to gather them.
As for persuading them…
The Holy Sovereign was essentially the Otherworld’s version of White Night. How many words did it take for White Night to persuade the Full Bloom Class Magical Girls? It didn’t even require persuasion.
Whatever the Holy Sovereign told them to do, they would do without complaint.
After all, over the years, the Holy Sovereign had proven her capability through countless facts.
Those who were unwilling to believe her had long since been torn apart by Demons.
“Good. Then three days from now, we will gather at that space fragment!” Luo Shuangyue punched her palm, setting the final time for the operation.
During these three days, she would also try to communicate with the two worlds again to see if she could talk them into separating.
If that worked, it would be for the best; they wouldn’t have to take the huge risk of gathering at the space fragment to play a game of self-destruction with the two worlds.
“Are you confident?”
Walking onto the Grey Wasteland where the black Path Creatures no longer gathered, Xia Mo couldn’t help but ask her lover.
After defeating such a powerful Demon, she hadn’t even taken a moment to rest before starting her gamble with the worlds. ‘Doesn’t she feel tired?’
“To be honest, not much.” Luo Shuangyue tilted her head and shrugged with a hint of helplessness.
“No one knows what our two worlds are actually thinking. But I believe that when I stand before them carrying the power of countless living beings from both worlds, they won’t ignore my request.”
Luo Shuangyue wasn’t asking for much—just for the two worlds to stop fighting to the death.
Was that really such a difficult thing to achieve? Moreover, her request wasn’t just for herself.
If the two worlds continued to struggle like this, both would end up destroyed. How could that be a good outcome?
It was obviously impossible.
“Anyway, let’s see if I can talk to them first. My current strength should be enough for that.” Luo Shuangyue sat cross-legged on the ground and closed her eyes, letting her thoughts slowly drift.
She didn’t know how to find the consciousness of the worlds, so she could only try to listen with her soul.
Perhaps she could hear fragments of the worlds’ voices from this shattered land.
Magic Power began to vibrate rhythmically.
Luo Shuangyue gradually stimulated her power.
As the strength she displayed grew more formidable, the space around her began to show numerous cracks.
Finally, at that moment, she truly heard the voices of the two worlds.
With such a conspicuous powerhouse suddenly appearing on the front lines of the war, the two worlds naturally could not ignore Luo Shuangyue’s existence.
They cast their gaze upon her and discovered that the power within this girl was not just from a single source.
However, for the time being, the power of the human world was the majority. Thus, the consciousness of the human world was the first to send her a message.
The world’s words were a long series of images that felt like revelations. Luo Shuangyue had to decipher what the world meant from them.
This time, the World Consciousness didn’t play riddles; it clearly sent images of the Otherworld engulfed in flames and despair.
The meaning was clear: *Go and destroy the other world quickly. I will buy you time here.*
“Can you both stop fighting? If you keep this up, you’ll both die!” Luo Shuangyue didn’t know how to transmit her thoughts, so she could only shout at the two consciousnesses in the most primitive way.
She didn’t know if her voice got through. After waiting for a very long time, the revelations before her eyes finally changed.
This time, it was a scene of their own world being destroyed while the Otherworld regained its vitality.
It seemed the world was telling her that only one world could survive. Either their world would perish, or the Otherworld would.
“Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?”
The image shifted again. A massive, bright red “X” appeared before Luo Shuangyue’s eyes. The world gave a clear answer: No.
After providing the answer, the World Consciousness of the Otherworld also sent a revelation, seemingly explaining to Luo Shuangyue why the answer to that question was negative.
When two worlds met, the best outcome was for the stronger side to swallow the weaker side.
But this required a massive difference in their sizes.
If an egg hit a rock, the rock would be fine. But if an egg hit another egg, both eggs would likely break.
Unfortunately, the two worlds Luo Shuangyue faced were like two eggs that had unfortunately collided.
Their luck was somewhat good; the impact wasn’t violent enough to destroy both worlds instantly.
But this wasn’t exactly good news either, because this was still a collision between different worlds.
The rules of the two worlds were completely different, making it impossible for them to merge.
If they were forced to merge, the final result would only be a joint path toward destruction.
Therefore, the worlds could only try their hardest to shatter the other. As long as they shattered the opponent, they would be fine.
On this point, neither world would choose to back down.
They were the consciousnesses of the worlds; ensuring the continued existence of their world was their mission. It was meaningless to judge them with human emotions.
They would only work toward the survival of their world, regardless of the disasters such efforts might bring.
“Since you can’t merge and you can’t coexist, can’t you separate?”
The revelation images suddenly became identical. Luo Shuangyue got the answer she wanted.
Separation was possible, but the worlds themselves couldn’t do it.
Their control over the worlds was holistic and internal.
Forcing two worlds that were already stuck together to separate exceeded their capabilities.
You couldn’t expect two eggs that had already crashed together to move apart on their own.
To separate, the worlds needed the help of an external force—a force powerful enough to at least reverse the trend of the worlds moving closer.
The speed at which the two worlds Luo Shuangyue inhabited were approaching each other was slow, very slow.
But it still wasn’t something an ordinary powerhouse could reverse.
This was, after all, the friction between two worlds.
“If I gather the power of everyone from both worlds, can I separate you?” Luo Shuangyue hoped for an affirmative revelation.
But at that moment, both worlds fell silent.
After a long while, the consciousness of the human world gave her answer.
“Likely not enough.”
If White Night had asked this question, she would have flatly given a negative answer because White Night couldn’t do it.
No matter what, she couldn’t. Just as the consciousness of the Otherworld would reject the Holy Sovereign for the same reason.
But Luo Shuangyue was different.
Her current power had already reached that qualifying line.
If she wished, she could even leave the two worlds that nurtured her and enter the Star Sea to become a Star-Sea Traveler.
“Gathering all the power? Just as she said, you would likely be crushed into pieces, with no possibility of resurrection.” The other World Consciousness also gave its answer.
‘Will I likely die?’ Facing this answer, Luo Shuangyue showed a very happy expression.
“In other words, I do have a chance to separate you, right?”
As long as there was hope, it was fine. What she feared was having no hope of success at all.
“Then can you tell me exactly what I should do? I believe you don’t want to head toward destruction together either, right?”
