Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 739 The Most Powerful Force

The heart of the nightmare.

This desolate and eerie black, scale-like plain, formed from the shattered body of the Mirror God, is now experiencing an unprecedented and violent tremor!

Space convulsed as if in spasm, the black soil surged like boiling ink, and the polluted information flowing in the sky became violent and chaotic, like a sewage pool being thrown into a giant rock.

The entire area emitted a low groan of unbearable strain, as if it were about to completely collapse at any moment!

Tang Zijun lost her balance and swayed violently, causing the crystal armor in its ultimate greed form, covering her entire body, to emit a faint cracking sound.

He forced himself to steady himself, the crimson light beneath his visor sharply scanning his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the source of the tremors, his brow furrowed. "What's going on? What happened?!"

This tremor did not originate from the clash of his power with the Mirror God, but rather from a violent disturbance... originating from the outside world, from deeper rules!

An ominous premonition, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around his heart.

The ancient silhouette of the Mirror God, hidden beneath its reflection, appeared to sway uncertainly amidst the violent spatial tremors.

Instead of answering Tang Zijun's question directly, she countered with a question that was almost coldly cruel.

"...Don't you know?"

"Me?" Tang Zijun was taken aback, instinctively pointing to herself. "What do I know?"

The Mirror God's thoughts, carrying a hint of bittersweet insight, clearly entered Tang Zijun's consciousness.

"Every time this Path of Annihilation, connecting to the core, is opened, every time an entity successfully arrives here, it's like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, triggering the most intense stimulation and resistance from this nightmare!"

Her thoughts paused, as if she were uncovering a long-buried memory filled with failure and despair.

"The last time I came here..."

"Similarly... it triggered a nightmarish... frenzied counterattack..."

"The gods...failed to resist..."

Their power was crushed by the frenzied proliferation and formatting waves of nightmares... Ultimately... the various divine realms...

They withered and died one after another...

'

"That...twilight...belonging to the gods..."

In the mirror's reflection, Tang Zijun's crimson gaze, carrying a heavy sense of destiny, fell upon her once more.

"And this time...."

'

"The same stimulus triggered the ultimate nightmare retaliation!"

"So, you need to hurry..."

boom-!!!

The Mirror God's words struck Tang Zijun's heart like the cruelest thunderbolt!

His pupils, hidden beneath his visor, suddenly contracted to their maximum size, and a chilling aura shot from his feet to the top of his head.

"What did you say?!" Tang Zijun's voice suddenly rose, filled with incredulous horror and an unspeakable rage! "You mean, the nightmare is attacking Black City now?! Attacking everyone there?!"

The Mirror God, its silhouette hidden beneath the swaying reflection, nodded slightly, its intent carrying an undeniable weight.

"6

..yes....

""

"I—!" Boundless anger and fear instantly overwhelmed Tang Zijun, giving him an urge to immediately unleash a torrent of profanity.

He wanted to roar, to question, to tear apart this damned space before him. His family, his friends, everything he had sworn to protect—Tan Zhixin, Qin Nan, Chang Lei, Tang Cao, Xiao Bai, Scáthach…all those who had fought and bled in Black City! They were enduring an ultimate catastrophe, far exceeding anything before, triggered by his successful arrival?!

Before he came, nobody told him about this damn mechanism! Poseidon didn't! Scáthach didn't! There was absolutely no information! This is just...!

But just as the surging anger was about to overwhelm his reason...

Tang Zijun clenched her teeth so tightly that blood even seeped from her lips beneath her mask!

No!

We can't crash!

Anger solves nothing!

Now...

Every second of hesitation could mean another second of unimaginable destruction for Black City!

Forcibly suppressing the raging waves that could incinerate the soul, Tang Zijun suddenly raised her head, her scarlet eyes like burning stars, locking onto the blurry outline of the Mirror God.

All those words could be summed up in a bloody roar squeezed from the depths of his throat.

"What do I need to do... to end all of this!?"

Tell me! Now! Right now!

Facing Tang Zijun's almost burning gaze, the Mirror Goddess did not flinch. Her thoughts were calm and direct, pointing to the essence of this world.

"It's very simple."

"Destroying this place... will solve everything."

Another violent spatial tremor struck, and the entire earth began to shake violently!

It's as if it's providing a cruel footnote to the words of the Mirror God!

Large cracks appeared on the black, scaly ground, revealing an even deeper, more ethereal underworld beneath!

Destroy this place?

Tang Zijun paused slightly, her crimson gaze unconsciously sweeping across the boundless, desolate plain formed from the shattered remains of the Mirror God, across the chaotic, dark red sky, and across the distorted, flowing stream of polluted information...

"Destroy...the vessel of this nightmare?" Tang Zijun's voice carried a hint of uncertainty. This seemed to be the most direct method, but his intuition told him that it wasn't that simple.

"No..." The Mirror God's thoughts carried an almost self-destructive calm, "The vessel... is merely an appearance..."

"The true source... is..."

Tang Zijun followed her gaze across the trembling black plain, finally fixing it on the sky that the Mirror God was pointing towards.

Indeed, there was a thin, indescribable mist floating in the void there.

It is not a physical entity, but rather a fold in space itself, a morbid proliferation, exuding a nauseatingly viscous feeling.

It was less like fog and more like a layer of gangrene covering a wound, constantly secreting pus.

"Destroy it." The Mirror God's intention was clear and direct. "Use your most powerful attack to shatter it, and that will end all of this—"

Before the words were even finished!

A fierce glint flashed in Tang Zijun's eyes!

He didn't hesitate at all!

He had no choice but to obey the Mirror God's words, because Black City was facing the ultimate counterattack caused by him, and every second was a matter of life and death!

【Masked Rider!】

Tang Zijun swiftly drew out the ultimate greed form exclusive card, which shimmered with the light of chaos and order! Without the slightest hesitation, she forcefully inserted it into the driver at her waist!

【MaimumDrive - Ultimate Technique!】

The violent electronic sound effects mixed with heavy metal music exploded out!

The power of the entire reversed world was frantically extracted. The primal force of the abyss chaos, the divine power of the golden trident, and the source of greed gathered here poured into his right leg like a flood that had burst its banks!

The crystal armor in its ultimate greed form unleashed an unprecedentedly dazzling brilliance!

Tang Zijun's figure transformed into a dark golden meteor that tore through space!

He stomped the ground and soared into the sky!

With an unwavering will to shatter stars and reverse all phenomena!

His right leg, like a burning meteor, slammed fiercely into the thin mist that covered the sky and exuded a gangrenous aura!

[The Mirror of the End Shatters!!]

There was no harsh sound of the mirror shattering!

There was no roar of energy collision!

There was only... a dull thud, as if kicked in heavy rubber or... some incredibly tough biological tissue.

Dull sound!

Bang-!!!

An unimaginable, enormous recoil force instantly spread throughout his body via his leg bone!

Tang Zijun felt as if she had crashed into an ancient, immovable mountain. Her ultimate kick, which gathered all her strength, was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of that seemingly thin layer of gangrene!

Click! Click! Click!

The crystal armor covering his right leg and even his entire body was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

Tang Zijun was like a baseball that had been hit with all its might, and she was sent flying back at a speed even faster than when she was rising!

It crashed heavily onto the black, scaly ground, carving a deep trench! Dust and gravel flew everywhere!

Tang Zijun struggled to get up, a suppressed groan coming from beneath her shattered mask.

He stared incredulously at the motionless gangrene, his eyes filled with horror.

The mirror spirit's silhouette, hidden beneath the swaying reflection, watched him silently, its expression devoid of emotion, only a calm statement of fact.

"...Many beings...have tried..."

"But this thing... isn't so easily destroyed..."

"You need to use power... greater than I was back then... and the followers I brought with me... to..."

"Power stronger than yours?!" Tang Zijun turned to look at the Mirror God. "My ultimate form of greed was inherited from you, and I've already used my most powerful attack!"

The Mirror God shook his head slightly.

This simple action made Tang Zijun's heart sink.

"What do you mean?" Tang Zijun forcibly suppressed her surging blood and anxiety, her scarlet eyes beneath the mask fixed on Mirror God.

The mirror spirit's blurred face, hidden beneath its reflection, seemed to... outline an extremely subtle smile, carrying a certain indescribable meaning.

"I just... wanted to remind you..."

"You...have not yet used...your most powerful attack..."

'

Tang Zijun was completely stunned.

Not a form? Not authority? Not divine power?

What is that?

What is his strongest attack?

The Mirror God's thoughts, like a gentle breeze parting the fog, came clearly once more: "You... still haven't felt it?"

"That...power coming from the other end of the passage..."

What's at the other end of the passage?

Tang Zijun was suddenly jolted!

He subconsciously shut down his resistance to the external tremors, released the seal on his core imprint, and sank his mind... into the reversal passage that connected to the Black City battlefield, which was now on the verge of collapse due to the final counterattack...

boom-!!!

It's not a physical sound!

Rather, it's a... tsunami on a spiritual level!

Countless voices, countless emotions, countless fragments of burning will... like a rushing galaxy, a burning star, a desperate cry... surged into the depths of Tang Zijun's consciousness along that crumbling passage!

He heard it!

I heard Desk's hoarse roar amidst the roar of artillery fire.

They heard the dwarven craftsman roaring, shirtless and sweating inside the steam-powered mech.

I heard the elven ranger's deep chant as he drew his bow.

I heard Tangcao and Xiaobai whispering as they moved through the battlefield.

I heard Tan Zhixin's unwavering will as she transformed into a giant snake to guard the defense line.

I could hear the suppressed worry and stubbornness beneath Qin Nan's cold voice.

I heard Scáthach's silent perseverance within the Shadow Chains.

He heard the resolute determination in Qiu Yun's cold declaration as he wielded the thunder.

They heard the iron will contained in Fang Xin's calm commands.

He heard Shangguan Su's resolute declaration as she took charge of the overall situation.

I heard Lydia's gentle words as she comforted Heli.

I heard the unconscious Amu muttering incoherently on the stretcher.

They heard the prayers of Grelando and her mercenaries.

And... that faint yet tenacious current of hope emanating from the battlefield of the Sky!

The protection of the Wind God, the enlightenment of the White God, Loki's magnanimity, and Cupid's burning fighting spirit ignited by Poseidon's response...

This is not power!

This is... the inextinguishable flame of the hearts ignited by billions of lives in dire straits... with their flesh, will, and lives!

It transcends divine power, magic, and technology...

The power of belief called "protection" and "resistance"!

Like a warm torrent, it instantly washed away the excruciating pain caused by the backlash to Tang Zijun, filling the emptiness and confusion he felt after failing his ultimate kick!

"This...this is..."

Tang Zijun's pupils, hidden beneath her shattered mask, trembled violently, the crimson light replaced by a more brilliant and warmer glow.

The dark golden energy blood stopped flowing; instead, a crystal-pure energy began to flow throughout the body.

And its strange radiance is as intense as that of a star!

The Mirror God's gratified voice resounded deep within his soul.

"Did you feel it?"

"This is...the...true...greatest power you possess!"

"It...is not in your form..."

"It's not under your control..."

"And within that connection—that you protect... and that protects you!"

"The gods failed to unite... and lacked the unwavering resolve to fight for the same will... therefore... I was unable to obtain this power back then..."

"Now----"

"Use it!"

"Shatter those shackles!!"

Tang Zijun slowly, but with utmost determination, raised her head again!

Beneath the mask, the face no longer held confusion or anger, but only an absolute calm and unwavering resolve born from understanding the origins and bearing the will of all beings!

He slowly raised his right hand!

The energy shimmering with pure starlight began to flicker in his palm, like a receiver.

After a pause, Tang Zijun sighed softly.

"Old Chang...stop pretending to be dead...I know you can hear me!"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Chang's familiar voice immediately rang in Tang Zijun's mind—this was a connection between those driven by greed, and also a connection between the Lord of the Reversed World and the high-ranking officials under his control.

Chang Lei, who was secretly trying to sneak back into the real world through the reverse passage, froze when he heard Tang Zijun's voice.

"Let me make this clear, I have no intention of running away... cough cough... Boss... what are your orders?"

Tang Zijun didn't care about his desertion at the last minute, but just stared silently at the energy body in her hand that was flashing with golden light.

In the end, this energy transformed into a match, lying quietly in Tang Zijun's palm.

Then, Tang Zijun smiled.

"...Let's make a deal."
