“Could that old Deng possibly have an innate sacred body?”
Luo Zining couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
If she took Luo You for a thorough, formal examination, it might very well yield some extraordinary results, right?
Aurora Witch Elira—her power stemmed from a high compatibility with divine particles, which led her to tame one magical girl after another… into submission.
If Luo You, who also has a high compatibility, were to fuse with divine particles as well…
“Dad wouldn’t turn into a villain like Elira, hunting magical girls everywhere, would he?”
Luo Zining’s eyes were full of worry.
Knowing old Deng’s habits, if he suddenly gained immense power, he’d definitely do something like that.
Even if he didn’t go hunting magical girls, he’d surely do something that breaks social norms and decency.
But the most important thing was—
“If that’s true, then Dad would definitely have to be on the front lines, right?”
Those capable wouldn’t be allowed to slack off in the back; they’d be dragged out to shine and make a difference.
Luo Zining decided to watch and wait for now.

The Next Day
Inside the super-large ring station of the Moon Viewing Class, Luo Zining was fast asleep on her bed.
In her dream, she strangely saw a cocky little girl, barely clothed, pouting on a bed, being harshly bullied from behind by a big sister, crying out loud.
When this bullying reached its climax—
Boom—!
“Uh? Ah ah?”
Luo Zining suddenly woke up, drool still on the corner of her mouth.
What the hell?
The little girl was playing rough with the big sister!?
Then another massive “boom” shook the entire super-large ring station violently!
“An attack?”
Luo Zining quickly got up and transformed into her magical girl form, rushing outside.
Outside, numerous staff on the ring station were running around in panic, the narrow corridors filled with people moving inefficiently.
Seeing this, Luo Zining decided not to use the corridors and instead used magic to melt a hole through the specially tempered steel glass window, flying out.
“Wh-what—!?”
When she saw the massive shadow cast outside, Luo Zining’s pupils trembled violently.
A dimensional beast!?
Looking around, above the super-large ring station appeared a huge monster, wreaking havoc recklessly, but it was already being blocked by the magical girls stationed there.
“Zi—! Little Red Riding Hood!”
Feiyu appeared beside her.
“A-Auntie? What should I do now?”
Luo Zining panicked, lost and confused.
Feiyu’s expression was serious as she pointed downward.
“Almost twenty dimensional beasts suddenly emerged from the Dimensional Sea, mostly of mortal and ghost ranks. Go down and help!”
“Okay!”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. I believe you can handle the mortal-rank pests alone, but be careful with the ghost-rank ones. Use teamwork cleverly! If you really can’t stop them, let them pass—magical girls in the inland area will intercept them.”
“Oh! What about you, Auntie?”
“I’m going to deal with that one,” Feiyu said, facing the other end of the super-large ring station.
“It’s a king-rank; we can’t let it keep destroying the station.”
With that, she said no more and joined the battle above, coordinating with teammates to drive the king-rank dimensional beast down.
Gulp—!
Luo Zining nervously swallowed.
The Dimensional Sea Barrier District 13 was guarded by eleven magical girls, all first-rate, on par with Zhou Xi and Yue Yuezi who had been transferred to Huahai City.
Plus, to replenish the super-large ring station’s magic, over forty magical girls were gathered here.
In theory, stopping these dimensional beasts shouldn’t be too difficult.
But apart from the eleven stationed local girls, the rest were temporary transfers from the inland—mostly rookies like Luo Zining or those without experience dealing with so many dimensional beasts simultaneously.
There were issues with on-the-spot performance, team coordination, and psychological adjustment—all problems that needed solving.
“There’s no choice but to go for it!”
Nine dazzling Radiant Ants hovered behind Luo Zining like nine blazing suns, immediately attracting the attention of two nearby dimensional beasts.
“Die—uh no, magical girls aren’t supposed to say such rude things… Anyway, all of you, stop right there!”
Powerful magical cannon fire rained down.
The two mortal-rank dimensional beasts dodged nimbly, every move displaying mobility far beyond Earth’s native creatures, but they were unaware they’d been driven into a dangerous zone by the barrage.
Seeing them cornered, Luo Zining’s eyes flashed—now!
The Radiant Ants unleashed a second synchronized assault.
The two mortal-rank beasts, unable to evade any longer, perished under the cannon fire.
Luo Zining quickly shifted her target to a ghost-rank beast three miles away.
Her hand trembled slightly.
It was her first time facing a ghost-rank dimensional beast alone.
Needless to say, ghost-rank beasts were much stronger than mortal-rank ones, posing a great threat to magical girls.
“Auntie said to focus on teamwork, but where are my teammates around here—”
“I’ll assist you!”
A voice from nearby, belonging to another magical girl also from inland.
Then another voice followed from the same place, seemingly the first girl’s partner.
“My name’s Shanyun. I’ll try to control its movements. When the opportunity comes, it’s your turn!”
“If things get dangerous, I’ll fall back to protect you. Ah, I’m Shirakawa!”
“You two…”
Luo Zining looked at them in surprise, then nodded determinedly.
“Okay! I’m Little Red Riding Hood, thanks for the cover.”
The three joined forces to intercept the ghost-rank dimensional beast.
As time passed, their numbers grew to five.
Magical girls were fighting hard in other places as well.
Not all first-rate magical girls were chasing the king-rank dimensional beast; some were assigned to command and coordinate others to intercept the remaining dimensional beasts.
Among them, the locally stationed magical girl Yun Que watched Luo Zining’s struggling figure with an appreciative gaze, clearly satisfied.
Seeing Luo Zining’s impressive performance, the other second-rate magical girls who had no idea what to do naturally began to rally around her for support and interception.
Such a person could unite previously unacquainted magical girls like never before.
“Well, regardless of psychological resilience, that girl’s strength itself is quite remarkable.”
Yun Que thought, “If only I could recruit such a powerful firepower artillery to my team to output from behind, dealing with dimensional beasts would be much easier in the future.”
She’d try to recruit her later!
Meanwhile
“Lady Ora, the test subject has been released into the Dimensional Sea as you instructed.”
“Good, well done.”
Ora nodded in satisfaction.
A man behind her looked confused.
“Why release it into the Dimensional Sea? It’s a hard-earned research achievement, even if it fails…”
“Shut up!”
Ora snapped sharply.
“My experiment is perfect! You don’t get to criticize!”
“My apologies, subordinate…”
The man bowed his head, unwilling to argue.
But Ora revealed a secretive smile.
People in the world probably still don’t know… dimensional beasts grow stronger in the Dimensional Sea.
Distant Sea Colossus, let me see what you’re truly capable of~
