The battle between the entity and the demon was the ultimate expression of savage, flesh-on-flesh brutality, but amidst that savagery, the two demons did not lack for clever schemes.
It seemed as though their combat was merely a common, ordinary exchange of blows without a shred of technical skill.
However, upon closer observation, one could see that every move they launched against each other carried the power of Vast Arts.
This was especially true for Luo Shuangyue, who had already integrated these empowered strikes into her standard offensive repertoire.
Fighting in this manner required far more energy than a typical magical battle.
It was only because a demon’s body was sufficiently sturdy and resilient that Luo Xiangyue had the confidence to engage in such high-intensity combat.
The two huge monsters traded punches and kicks in that undisturbed arena.
Their battle would not be decided in a short time; since neither possessed a vital weakness and their strengths were evenly matched, they could fight until the end of time.
On the other side, as Luo Shuangyue left to deal with the giant monster that had to be handled, Phantom Scythe was unable to fully manage the surging demonic energy alone.
This resulted in some of the black energy making contact with the demonic energy, evolving into demons.
Fortunately, the levels of these demons were only around the Wang-Class, so dealing with them was not particularly troublesome.
“We need to speed things up here. Although the Nether Medium is stalling over there and there aren’t any major issues, it is still a potential threat,” Monice said as she projected a phantom model, indicating that the current situation was not optimistic.
“It looks like they are evenly matched and the outcome is hard to predict, but do not forget that our ultimate goal is not just to defeat that single creature.”
In truth, once Luo Shuangyue proved she could fight that demon to a standstill, humanity had already survived this world-ending crisis.
This was because Luo Xiangyue was not alone.
All the Full Bloom-Class Soul Butterflies, along with White Night and the Holy Sovereign, were weights that could be added to the scale to help Luo Shuangyue secure victory.
However, Luo Xiangyue’s goal was not simply to defeat the demon.
She intended to devour it entirely, turning it into her own power, and then use that combined strength to force the two unreasonable world consciousnesses to calm down.
Otherwise, winning this fight would be pointless — the world would still be destroyed, and everyone would perish together.
They needed to take this opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.
That demon was a rare, massive experience pack, and it was essential for Luo Xiangyue to consume it.
“That sounds fine, but the only ones who can truly interfere in that fight are White Night and the Holy Sovereign, right?” Cecilia, who had not yet fully recovered her magic power, asked as she stared at the model in Monice’s hand.
The Full Bloom Class was undoubtedly strong, but in the clash between Luo Shuangyue and that monster, the Full Bloom-Class girls would likely be of little use even if they attacked all at once.
“Have a little more confidence in yourself. The power of the Fusion Magic Cannon we release by gathering our strength will not be weak,” Monice replied.
She pulled up the data from the Fusion Magic Cannon previously used by the Initial Bloom-Class Magical Girls, suggesting that this method could also be applied to the Full Bloom-Class Soul Butterflies.
If Initial Bloom-Class girls could use this method to kill an Emperor Rank demon above their level, why couldn’t the Full Bloom Class deal sufficient damage to that Super Demon Emperor?
“Moreover, our Vast Power can purify the waste energy on the demons. That is the most critical part.”
If it were a matter of demons devouring one another, then the hidden toxicity within the demonic energy would be a problem Luo Xiangyue had to face.
It was for this very reason that she had not yet tried to bite her opponent, and her opponent, for similar reasons, refrained from using a demon’s natural devouring ability against Luo Shuangyue.
To allow Luo Xiangyue to safely absorb the demon’s power, the Magical Girls needed to use their power to purify the demon.
Only then could Luo Xiangyue’s goal of devouring it be achieved.
“There aren’t many demons left near the spatial channel. We can hand things over to the Initial Bloom juniors and pull ourselves away to begin supporting the Ming Luo.” After a series of operations, Monice handed her revised plan to Cecilia.
Cecilia glanced at it, her expression troubled. Letting the Initial Bloom juniors handle these remaining demons? ‘Is that a bit too aggressive?’
“They are warriors who have also been tested in battle. If they can’t even handle these remnants, how can they inherit your positions and protect humanity in the future?” Monice noticed Cecilia’s hesitation and couldn’t help but mock her.
She couldn’t stand the indecisiveness of the people in the Guangfa Department.
Given the current situation, they were still worried about letting the juniors face the elements.
The Initial Bloom girls had performed excellently before; there was no issue with letting them handle these Wang-Class demons.
“I think this plan is viable.”
As the two were at a standstill, another voice rang out beside them. Cecilia was startled and quickly looked toward the source.
“White Night? Weren’t you resting?”
The white-haired, gold-eyed girl was being supported by another girl with long, silver-white hair as she slowly flew toward Cecilia.
“Resting anywhere is the same. Besides, I recover much faster than you guys.” Although she had just been forced to retreat, White Night’s mindset was clearly unaffected; she remained as lively as ever.
Beside her, the Holy Sovereign, who was still adjusting to the environment of this world, shrugged.
“I’m still having a hard time adapting to the magic power environment here. I likely won’t be of much use later.”
In this world she was unfamiliar with, the strength the Holy Sovereign could display was significantly worse than her normal state.
At most, she could perform some auxiliary work; it was impossible to expect her to lead a primary assault.
In that case, with only White Night available for support, the power of the Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls became pivotal.
“Once this batch of sisters is rotated out, we can let the juniors step up. Then, we’ll take some time to recover and go support Little Yue,” White Night said, gesturing toward Cecilia.
“I saw the Fusion Magic Cannon you used before. It’s very good. With me acting as the core this time, one shot will definitely deal a heavy blow to that guy.”
Cecilia remained silent for a moment.
White Night’s status in her heart was different from Monice’s.
Every word spoken by this legendary Soul Butterfly carried weight — a weight that she, as the Vice Minister of the Magic Department, could not refuse.
If someone was willing to lead, and that person was a famous legend, then the decision was made.
“Fine. I’ll go notify them now.” Cecilia nodded heavily.
At a time like this, she was still more willing to trust White Night, the presence who had once led them to victory.
“In the end, your words are the ones that work. Tsk.” Monice glanced at the pair of old friends and let out a light snort.
When she had brought it up, Cecilia had been hesitant, but as soon as White Night spoke, Cecilia’s attitude changed instantly.
The difference was truly irritating.
“Can your reputation even compare to mine?” White Night giggled, showing no mercy to her old friend.
‘Even though I’m using you as a tool, we’re still good sisters, right?’
This shameless attitude genuinely annoyed Monice, but she couldn’t win an argument or a fight against her.
She could only swallow her frustration. ‘How can this White Night be so wicked!’
“Stop being so cocky. Since you said you’ll be the core, then I’ll…”
Just as Monice was about to say her task was finished and she could slack off as an ordinary Full Bloom-Class Magical Girl, White Night stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, cutting her off.
Seeing the detestable expression on White Night’s face, Monice recalled a time long ago when White Night had grabbed her hand in the same way, inviting her to Xinghai City to establish Eternal Night.
She had only recently learned that White Night had viewed her as a disposable tool back then, and she feared this was no different.
“Monice! This world still needs your wisdom. You are my most trusted partner!”
Eek! Monice suddenly felt a shiver. It was too similar; these were almost the exact same words White Night had said years ago.
“I’m not being humble, but with your strength, you don’t really need…”
“No, no, no. While I am strong, my understanding of the Fusion Magic Cannon is limited. We need to maximize the Vast Power, and you are the only one who can do that.” White Night shook her head vigorously.
She knew her own limits perfectly well.
She was an expert at being a Magical Girl, but she was no scientist.
Most of the time, she relied on her intuition, but intuition wasn’t as reliable now.
She preferred to believe that her friend Monice could provide a more perfect option.
Being held by the hand and stared at so sincerely by White Night, Monice found she couldn’t voice her refusal.
After all, she was a Magical Girl; how could she refuse when White Night was asking her to save the world? She simply couldn’t.
“Fine. But you have to bring Ye Lin over. That child is the best at this.”
When it came to firing a magic cannon, Monice felt she wasn’t the most skilled.
Xia Mo’s Spirit Weapon, Ye Lin, was the true expert.
Her original form was literally a cannon; who could have more say in the matter of firing one than her?
“Ye Lin? Sure, I’ll bring her over right now!” White Night didn’t put on any legendary airs.
She did whatever Monice asked without a single word of complaint.
Before long, a trembling Ye Lin was hauled over by White Night.
“Why do I feel like this little one looks familiar?” White Night muttered as she tossed the Floating Cannon that Ye Lin resided in to Monice.
Hearing this, Ye Lin trembled even harder.
White Night didn’t remember her well, but she remembered White Night; this was the last person her previous life had seen before dying.
“Oh, she was originally a Demon King you defeated. She was purified into a Spirit Weapon not long ago,” Monice explained casually.
White Night tilted her head, failing to recall which Demon King Ye Lin had been.
The demons she had defeated back then were as numerous as the fish in a river; it would be a miracle if she remembered a minor character like a Demon King.
“She was the first Demon King you killed.”
“Oh! That one!” White Night finally remembered which Guang King it was.
It was the Serpent Demon King who had witnessed her breakthrough to the Initial Bloom stage.
Ye Lin knew she couldn’t escape this fate.
She timidly poked her small head out of the Floating Cannon and greeted White Night, “Hello there.”
White Night scrutinized Ye Lin with a strange gaze, seemingly trying to connect her with the memory of that ugly giant snake.
After trying for a long while, she eventually gave up. The two looked completely different.
Could turning into a Spirit Weapon actually transform a demon into such a cute girl? She felt that this method should be well-developed in the future to try and provide such a Spirit Weapon for every Magical Girl.
“Stop chatting. Ye Lin, come here. Let’s simulate the release process of the Fusion Magic Cannon.” Monice interrupted the conversation between the former adversaries.
She hadn’t called Ye Lin here for White Night to settle old scores.
“Oh, right. Let me see.” Upon hearing there was serious work to do, Ye Lin immediately flew back to Monice’s side and began discussing how the Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls’ Fusion Magic Cannon should be fired.
The discussion quickly revealed a shocking problem that startled even Ye Lin.
The magic power conflict between Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls was much stronger than that of the Initial Bloom Class.
Some magic powers were even volatile enough to explode on contact.
Even with a powerhouse like White Night—who possessed overwhelming strength—acting as the core, the probability of this Fusion Magic Cannon backfiring was extremely high.
“Look at the Vast Power of these two. Their compatibility is terrible. If they touch, it’s a life-or-death struggle,” Ye Lin said, pointing at the data Monice had displayed.
“The old method won’t work?”
“It won’t. The conflicts among the Initial Bloom girls aren’t as pronounced. I can make slight adjustments to fuse everyone’s power, but the magic power of the Full Bloom seniors is completely different.” Ye Lin sighed.
She couldn’t adjust the power of the Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls; that problem could only be solved by the Magical Girls themselves.
But was that really a problem that could be solved in a short amount of time?
“It’s fine. We have to believe in ourselves.” White Night heard where the problem lay, but she wasn’t discouraged at all. Instead, she spoke optimistically.
“Did you not understand at all? There’s a massive problem with the Fusion Magic Cannon!”
” I understood. But if you don’t even believe you can succeed, then it definitely won’t happen. Don’t forget, we aren’t ordinary people.” White Night winked at the frustrated Monice.
“Magical Girls are the light of miracles that turn the impossible into the possible. We have to believe we can do it. As long as our conviction is strong enough, even the world will make way for us.”
“Monice, I’m certainly not as smart as you, and I’m not good at research. But when it comes to being a Magical Girl, you are far behind me.” Clenching her fist, White Night spoke to Monice word by word.
At that moment, Monice finally understood why White Night was White Night.
She took a deep breath, the irritability and unease in her heart completely dispelled by White Night’s words.
“I understand!”
