Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 231 The Demon is Lady Shion (5000 words, please vote)
Jin Cha glanced at the calm and composed Bing Tang, who was sipping his black tea beside her.

Probably no one would have guessed that the owner of the largest Ice Age Group is actually the leader of the Qingyun Sect—although nominally Ziyuan.

However, from the perspective of the Disaster Management Bureau, Shion is more like a henchman.

Of course, this is not to say that Shion is unimportant. With that kind of strength, every word Shion says carries corresponding weight.

However, the only person they could negotiate with was Bing Tang, so in the eyes of outsiders, the leader of the Qingyun Sect was ultimately Bing Tang.

They are now in one of the towers in the cluster of towers behind them.

The tower contains entirely independent spaces, making it quite safe, and it was not long ago that the gray-white magical girl appeared.

Jin Cha had already sent people to move the rest of the magical girls to a safe location.

Now the tower complex is filled with magical girls from the headquarters.

Are you sure there's no problem?

"It's quite good as a warm-up before the mental imagery trial," Bing Tang said somewhat absentmindedly. "Don't worry, with a true disciple here, there won't be any danger."

"Well... of course I'm not worried about that."

Jin Cha was naturally aware that there was a mole within the General Administration, and had been closely observing and on guard.

I didn't expect them to take action today.

They thought the arrival of the Qingyun Sect would make them wary, but instead they became even more arrogant.

Despite thorough preparations, some areas still needed to operate normally at Bing Tang's request, to avoid alerting the enemy.

Moreover, Jin Cha hadn't expected that her authority within the General Administration would be compromised, as the security system in the General Administration's central tower was now almost entirely shut down.

Jin Cha was initially worried that something unexpected might happen.

But actually, when that magical girl named Dandelion swept more than ten gray-white magical girls into the sky all by herself, she had nothing to worry about anymore...

Not to mention that a blue and white porcelain suddenly appeared later.

It directly froze the gray-white magical girls who were chasing Iris.

This was a perfect attack on the General Administration, from the inside out.

And just like that, it became a performance, so casually described...

"Are you all going to be killed?"

Jin Cha simply asked that question.

Bing Tang paused slightly as she sipped her tea, turned her head to glance at Jin Cha, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Jin Cha remained elegant, mimicking the way Bing Tang stirred her milk coffee.

But actually, my palms were already sweating.

"Because I've heard that the Qingyun Sect doesn't usually hold back..."

Actually, it's not just hearsay.

From Jin Cha's own observation, the Qingyun Sect basically kills their enemies...

"Hmm, I remember there are some people you know in there?" Bing Tang fiddled with her mirror.

They were monitoring the situation in various localities under the General Administration, and that was also part of the "rock candy" (a metaphor for their efforts).

Of course, this was also thanks to the insider who interfered with the central tower of the headquarters.

Otherwise, a large-scale spell like the one involving rock candy, which has a comprehensive view of the situation, would be detected and dispelled by the headquarters immediately.

But now, it seems that no one in the entire General Administration has noticed the faint mist and ice crystals floating in the air.

"I think they've been bewitched..."

Jin Cha tried to negotiate.

"Don't worry, our Qingyun Sect isn't some terrorist organization," Bing Tang said calmly. "We wouldn't kill someone who has no power to resist."

Well, based on the information from various sources, it doesn't seem to be like that...

Jin Cha thought about it for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Rock Sugar said calmly:

"But are these magical girls really that high-level? How come they were able to shut down the headquarters' central tower? Aren't you the magical girl with the highest authority in the headquarters?"

At this point, Jin Cha was slightly embarrassed. "Well, theoretically speaking, I am indeed the magical girl with the highest authority in the General Administration, but I am just a magical girl."

At this point, he sighed, "The highest authority resides in the Magic Kingdom, and the ruler of the Magic Kingdom is the Incubator..."

Bing Tang tilted her head. "You mean, the incubators of the Magic Kingdom are attacking the headquarters of the Disaster Management Bureau?"

"That's not the case."

Looking at the General Administration amidst the wind and snow, Jin Cha felt as if he had returned to the days when he was sent as an envoy to North Yankton.

There are only two true disciples in total. I feel that if a real fight breaks out, the General Administration will also fall...

"Just like the magical girls within the headquarters have different ideas, the incubators are not a monolithic group either."

Bing Tang rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "Ugh, there are factions here too..."

Jin Cha shrugged. "Who knows? Incubators also have intelligence. Although they seem to have some kind of cluster consciousness, they are not connected to the cluster when they are born from the seed. Moreover, they have the ability to act freely outside the cluster. This has led to the emergence of a group of incubators who are unwilling to connect to the cluster and are dissatisfied with the incubator cluster."

How did you confirm whether the incubators were lying to you?

“The incubators don’t lie.” Jin Cha glanced at the other monitors again. “I can guarantee that. I’ve tested it using many methods, and they really don’t lie.”

Bing Tang nodded, without refuting.

Because they held four or six leaves, they had also conducted corresponding tests on the incubators. The test was naturally conducted on Jiang Si's incubator, who had once been very close to her.

Incubators do not lie; in most cases, newly born incubators know nothing except some basic magical girl knowledge.

While incubators can share information, there seem to be some limitations in this regard.

At the very least, newly established incubators should not have such authority.

Otherwise, the Qingyun Sect wouldn't be completely unaware of the incubators. These seemingly innocent and cute little things are exactly as the sect leader said.

In reality, they were a group of cunning and experienced cultivators.

"And this group of incubators who had disagreed with the main incubator cluster chose the Witch's Guild's route."

Jin Cha's expression was slightly grave. "They call themselves Dream Incubators, not Incubators. They say they want to create a perfect dream for magical girls. The Incubators believe they have been infected by the witch and have developed a lot of negative emotions and feelings they shouldn't have. Although these Dream Incubators have broken away from the group, they still have authority. They can come and go freely, whether it's the headquarters or the magical kingdom. Moreover, they can disguise themselves, making them very difficult to capture."

Why don't the incubators arrest the traitors?

"The Incubators believe this is a different evolutionary branch." The magical girl leader of the Disaster Management Bureau shrugged. "They just want us to be careful. They don't intend to intervene to stop anything. In most cases, the Incubators will do nothing. They just observe. They don't care what kind of beings are born, as long as the world is still normal."

"So you didn't take any precautions against the Dream Incubators?"

Jin Cha smiled slightly, "Because the Dream Incubators have left the cluster, they can't use the data from the Magic Kingdom. They have to collect data again. In this regard, I used some of the Incubators' permissions to limit the range of data they can collect. So they shouldn't have the data on the Qingyun Sect's magical girls, nor the data on the fully blooming magical girls collected by the Magic Kingdom..."

"Is this your reason for being so eager to cooperate with us?" Bing Tang asked knowingly. "Because we can deal with the Dream Incubators?"

"Just one of them."

In fact, Hongmian and the others had always suggested that they should not rely too much on the Qingyun Sect.

Jin Cha thought the same way; the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." So they directly learned from the Qingyun Sect.

Improving the overall strength of the magical girls in the Disaster Management Bureau is safer than relying directly on the Qingyun Sect.

but.

Jin Cha looked outside at the gray-white magical girls who had all been captured, and even the two true disciples started arguing among themselves.

It even escalated into a physical fight...

The Dream Incubator attack that had worried her for so long was something the other side had even mastered, possessing the power of the gray and white residue, and had lured some magical girls to join them.

As a result, they were easily dealt with by the two true disciples of the Qingyun Sect...

"We also want your help in monitoring and dealing with the Old World, including the Witches' Guild, and in finding the Dream Incubators..."

"no problem."

I originally just wanted to bargain, so I said all my demands at once.

Bing Tang readily agreed and looked at her, asking, "Is there anything else?"

"No, for now."

“Okay.” Bing Tang smiled. “Don’t worry, as long as you provide the mental imagery domain trial, we’ll take care of the rest.”

That's so reliable!

I'm sorry, Red Cotton.

Jin Cha can no longer return to her identity as the leader of the independent magical girl representative council.

These magical girls from the Qingyun Sect are so useful!

It's not that I lack backbone; the wheelchair is right here.

Who can resist shaking? You shake it too...

"Oh, by the way, there's something I wanted to ask you." "What is it?"

"Regarding the prince of the Mirror Kingdom..."

Just as Bing Tang was about to ask the Disaster Management Bureau if they had any more information, the entire tower began to shake violently!

When the two looked outside, they saw an overwhelming surge of filthy magic that swallowed up the entire headquarters!
"Senior Jin Cha!"

Hongmian ran upstairs, covered in sweat, "It's...it's the witch!"

However, neither the rock sugar nor the golden tea calmly observed the situation reflected in the ice mirror.

"Do not worry."

Jin Cha looked up at the familiar, filthy magic.

"It's the sect leader's daughter from the Qingyun Sect."

The real wheelchair has arrived!
Despite her outwardly elegant demeanor, Jin Cha inwardly clenched her fist and shouted "nice!"

He no longer needed to explain to Hongmian why he was completely dependent on the Qingyun Sect.

Let Hongmian see for herself.

Why did I give up walking independently?

……

It pierced straight through the bottom of the headquarters' gray-white Thousand Needle Grass and crashed into the sky!
It took a long time before it finally managed to hold onto the clouds in the sky and stop. Its gray-white magical armor was almost falling apart, but in the end, it did not disappear.

The magical girls in the tower complex all peered out at the grayish-white Thousand Needle Grass that had fallen from the sky, somewhat puzzled.

Because Jin Cha strictly forbids people from going out without permission, no one dared to venture out rashly—everyone had witnessed the attack on the headquarters by the gray-white magical girl, so they wouldn't necessarily think that the gray-white magical girl was a good person.

The gray-white magical girl is the enemy, the invader.

but.

Everyone looked up at the Disaster Management Bureau, which was now shrouded in darkness, and at the girl emerging from the swirling, murky waves of filthy magic behind her.

This person doesn't seem like a good person at all!
"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

A disciple of the Qingyun Sect loudly explained, "This is just our sect master's secret technique of the Human Emperor. The black smoke you see is the imagery of 'Opening the Sun' in the Human Emperor's Great Dao [Twelve Year-Duty Birds]. It's a magical effect, a magical effect!"

"My sect leader is actually a magical girl!"

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the dark witch suddenly appeared above the Thousand Needle Grass.

The gray-white needle grass immediately turned its head, and all protections were instantly unleashed.

However, it shattered with a deafening roar! The witch's foot slammed into the head of the gray-white Thousand Needle Grass!

It fell to the ground like a shooting star!

Cracks spread wildly across the ground like a spider web, blasting out huge craters!

The head and upper body of the gray-white needle plant were buried underground!
The magical girls hiding in the tower fell into an instant silence.

"What? I can't see it at all... She doesn't look like a magical girl at all..."

Someone asked a question in a low, hesitant voice.

The disciple who had just been explaining loudly immediately fell silent.

"Don't panic, there's a twist!"

Immediately, another disciple chimed in: "That's one of our sect leader's divine powers, [Wrath of the Bright King]! Great wrath manifests great compassion; seeing it is like seeing the Great Bright King himself—a compassionate magical strike!"

But then the witch in the sky pointed her fingers like a sword and made a light slash.

The gray-white thousand-needle grass that crashed into the ground splattered blood everywhere, and even its limbs flew off! The witch even grabbed a hand and took a bite.

"This, this is also a Vidyaraja, [Vajra Wrath], uh, devouring all evil..."

The disciples who had initially predicted a reversal of fortune gradually quieted down.

This is something even a god couldn't reverse...

"The problem lies with the skill, with magic. Yes, that's it with magic. The sect leader couldn't do anything about it..."

Before she could finish speaking, the witch in the sky crashed down!

In an instant, his arm pierced through the chest of the gray-white thousand-needle grass, and with a fierce grab, he ripped out the heart!
The disciples of Qingyun Sect fell silent.

Sect Master, what are you doing?!

If it weren't for the constraints imposed by Jin Cha, and the fact that she had witnessed the danger posed by the gray-white magical girl before, she would have been able to overcome these obstacles.

Many magical girls couldn't resist stepping in to lend a hand!

After all, this witch looks far too evil!
Even the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect were hesitant to speak for a moment.

Sect Leader, could you please tone it down a bit? You've terrified the magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau; it's hard to explain this to us now...

Shion was naturally indifferent to these trivial matters.

The grayish-white needle grass is still alive.

It didn't even revert to its transformed state.

The opponent has set "Restore to Original State" as a passive ability, which automatically activates whenever they suffer a fatal wound.

Its magical reserves are also quite substantial.

Apparition

It's magic I've never heard of before.

Thousand Needle Grass always has a bunch of little magic tricks that it doesn't know about.

However, just as the gray-white needle grass was about to ascend into the sky, Shion took a step and grabbed her ankle.

It was thrown off again!

As it fell, the greyish-white Thousand Needles turned around, and its wand burst forth with blue flames, shooting towards the dark-skinned girl in the air!
"Expulso"

Ziyuan stretched out her right hand and grabbed the spell.

A massive explosion erupted from within, instantly shattering and scattering the magical armor on his right arm!
Tiny scratches appeared on her smooth, fair right arm, with even a little blood flowing out.

A hint of amusement flickered in her vertical pupils, and Ziyuan nodded. "Not bad."

With a slight bend of his right finger, he touched the falling gray-white thousand-needle grass.

"Expulso"

The same move, but with completely different effects.

The pitch-black magic struck the grayish-white Thousand Needle Grass, and the girl's body began to crack from the inside out.

The moment the magical girl transformed from the incubator was completely annihilated, another ripple spread out.

Then, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television began to break apart from the central level!
First, the teaching building and the huge playground surrounding it were the first to collapse in this ripple.

The massive impact made it difficult for Qinghua and Yumo to maintain their flight posture, causing them to plummet downwards!

It then quickly spread from the teaching building to the dormitory, and even to the tower complex behind it!
Bing Tang and Jin Cha were watching Zi Yuan's battle from the tower when, in the blink of an eye, the tower collapsed in the aftershocks. She, Bing Tang, and Hong Mian were caught in the dense, chaotic rubble and fell headfirst into the ruins!
The voice of the magical girl from Qingyun Sect rang out again: "Don't worry, this, this is [Other Shore Sky Collapse]!"

“We still have the Foundation Establishment Realm…”

Before the words were even finished, the rest of the towers collapsed as well, followed by a series of screams and shouts!

No one listened to the explanation anymore.

Wood chips, iron scraps, dust, and pebbles spread silently.

Then it made a cracking noise!
Thousand Needle Grass, being below, had the clearest view. She saw the entire headquarters transform from a complete Sky City into ruins and rubble in just a few breaths, mixed with numerous magical girls in free fall, turning into a magnificent and dense meteor shower that swept in!

Jin Cha finally lost her composure, pressing down on her skirt to prevent it from covering her face, and turned to look at Bing Tang, "Didn't you say it was fine?!"

Even though Bing Tang was now falling upside down, she was still holding her teacup, the tea inside frozen into ice crystals. She was still drinking it slowly and deliberately, casually offering a word of comfort.

"Don't worry, the sect leader has his own plans."

For a moment, Jin Cha even felt a sense of defeat; she was just too elegant!

You are truly elegant; the question is, what do you do next?
The enormous impact made it difficult for the transformed magical girl to maintain her balance, not to mention the many magical girls around who hadn't transformed yet. Hongmian was already on the verge of tears!
But soon, all the sounds disappeared, to the point that even the whistling wind could no longer be heard.

The screaming girls froze. The crushed ice in the candy cup melted into water, but it also solidified in mid-air like rubber.

“A mediocre work, number three.”

A confident and bright voice then resounded through the sky:
"The Amber Sea, where a single breath can last forever!"

The gravitational field spread out from mid-air, affecting all the magical girls, as well as the dense rubble, glass, wood chips, various tables, chairs, appliances, and even a speck of dust.

Everything froze in mid-air!

Shion tilted her head slightly, her golden vertical pupils landing on the blue, floating magical girl below.

Even her magic power stagnated and became blocked...

Magical Girl Iris.
