The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

The principles behind psychic abilities and magic are vastly different.

It is an innate ability, a manifestation of spiritual power descending upon its favored ones. In ancient times, it was considered a divine miracle, and even gave rise to countless heroic legends.

Legend has it that there was a powerful psychic whose specific mental abilities were unknown, but who could instantly disintegrate any opponent in a gap that even light could not detect. No matter how fast the opponent was, it was difficult to escape the fierce attack of this mental ability.

There is another type of psychic ability called "Spatial Maneuver," which has been possessed by only one person per generation throughout history. The current holder of this ability has been confirmed as the S-class hero "Meteor," whose powerful abilities inspire awe.

But above all psychic abilities, there is another type of psychic ability that directly manipulates the very essence of the world—

"【world】"

The Messiah whispered.

There was no dazzling light, no exaggerated special effects; nothing around them changed in the slightest because of the unfolding of this psychic ability. Only a distant sound came from beyond the world:

That was the cracking and bursting of time itself.

The gears of time were brought to a halt by some ruthless force, as if two hands were tightly gripping the gears' trajectory, and everything stopped moving in an instant.

The hands of the clock stood still, the swirling dust solidified in the air, the fallen leaves and water droplets stubbornly refused to move forward, and even the strong winds of the mountain night were fixed in the air, allowing a brief glimpse of this intangible thing.

Most of the girls looked around in surprise.

"This is psychic power..." "It really stopped time..."

The four-leaf clover and the bladderwort whispered to each other, while Lily calmly watched a water droplet that had stopped in mid-air not far away, squinting her eyes.

The initial excitement quickly faded, and the girls gripped their wands and weapons tightly, ready to face any powerful enemies that might appear.

The giant jellyfish, which the albatross has confined in the millennium to construct a cycle of death, is about to release its true form above Chengdu. The next step is to completely destroy it, severing its resurrection and immortality.

"Are we going to be the first to charge in later, woof?" "Tian Nanxing, you're not allowed to rush forward blindly; stay behind Senior Zidingxiang." "Woof!"

Tian Nanxing spun around in place, chasing her tail with an impatient look on her face. Nightingale pressed her down and gave the command, and the Bernese Mountain Dog barked.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Ten seconds, fifteen seconds, twenty seconds.

The subjective experience stretched out considerably during the pause, and the girls gradually fell silent, many of them beginning to harbor a rather ominous thought—

Where is the World of Mental Images? Why isn't it open yet?

Although this matter was spearheaded by Xin Yuehu, and she had done things like "gathering everyone together for this kind of thing" before, with the two senior figures Chi Xue and Albatross backing her up, she shouldn't have done a classic remake.

Besides, even the Hero Association is cooperating with her plan, and Messiah is doing the same thing—

"...Tsk."

Twenty-five seconds later, a slight pursing of the lips was heard.

As if suddenly feeling immense pressure, Messiah frowned, gritted his teeth, and looked up at the empty sky.

"Messiah? Are you alright?"

Qiu Baiyang quickly ran to the hero's side and tried to help her up, but Messiah raised her hand to stop her from getting closer and shook her head at Qiu Baiyang.

"Don't come near me. Your magic might interfere with my psionic release. Now is the crucial moment."

"At the crucial moment... ah, could it be—"

People look up at the sky.

In that starless and moonless sky, a faint feeling emanated, causing everyone's magical senses to stir restlessly. Its specific existence could not be described, but this oppressive feeling pressed down directly there, making people tremble silently.

"Ugh!"

Thirty seconds passed.

Messiah knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him on the ground, as if he were carrying a thousand-pound weight on his shoulders, so heavy that he could not lift his head.

"Damn it! What on earth is that little fox planning to cram into this gap in time?... "

The girls were on tenterhooks.

Forty seconds passed.

Forty-five seconds passed.

The overwhelming sense of oppression drew ever closer. Iris set up her magic cannon and prepared to unleash her full power, while Autumn Osmanthus and White Lily were also ready to unleash their firepower and give the jellyfish a good beating the moment it appeared.

The Messiah's situation is not optimistic.

Her fingers dug deep into the ground, crushing and shattering the cement floor, and she was drenched in cold sweat.

Forty-five seconds—I had never paused for such a long time before, and I also had to bear the immense pressure of connecting to another timeline.

Forty-six seconds passed.

At this limit, every second of pause would add immense pressure. Messiah was relying entirely on her willpower to withstand this pressure, almost collapsing under the weight of time, yet she continued to fight tenaciously.

Forty-seven seconds.

Forty-eight seconds.

The limits of madness.

Messiah could no longer utter complete words; blood seemed to be overflowing from his dry throat.

If Moira were there, she would probably have already ordered herself to stop—every time she pushes her limits, post-war recovery becomes extremely difficult, let alone repeatedly breaking records like this.

Fifty seconds.

Time stopped at this extreme point, and the rift appeared without warning.

A colossal shadow appeared in the sky, and the brilliant light of the stars briefly illuminated the entire western mountainous area of ​​Chengdu.

The muscular giant hand slammed into the jellyfish, as if it had snatched something from the empty void, before quickly retracting into the crack and disappearing.

Time, which had been stopped, began to flow again. Leaves and water droplets returned to the earth, dust filled the sky, and a gentle breeze turned into a powerful storm that swept across the heavens, tearing the thick clouds of the night to shreds.

Messiah lost her strength and fell to the ground, but countless threads supported her body. Then, a pair of strong hands laid her flat on a support woven from threads.

"Moira is calling headquarters. Messiah has been received."

"Meteor, it's up to you."

Meteor didn't speak, but reached out and pressed Moira's shoulder.

Her gaze fell on the girls who were wielding weapons and magic. She exchanged a glance with Nightingale, smiled slightly, as if she were relaying Moira's words to her verbatim.

After a slight hum in the air, the fallen hero and rescue team disappeared, and instructions from the Hero Association headquarters echoed through the radio communications:

"All personnel at the front line must immediately withdraw from the battlefield. Repeat, immediately withdraw from the battlefield."

Radio waves echoed over Chengdu, only to be drowned out by the deafening sound of the explosion.

"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!"

Countless bursts of light and fire erupted from the massive, sky-covering jellyfish.

The pale gray magical girl laughed heartily in the air, raising her wand high, as countless projectiles floating around her rained down on the astral jellyfish, creating a brilliant afterglow like the setting sun.

The crimson-clad girl pulled up her hood and brandished a hunting knife, cursing and hacking amidst the aftershocks of the explosion. Even from as far away as Chengdu, one could almost hear her shouting, "If I had known, I would have left you in the millennium!"

The golden-haired fox girl brandished her magic wand in the sky, and the twelve witches of the zodiac charged forward in formation around her, fearless of explosions and flames, raining down fire and death upon the undead abomination.

Cheshire Rabbit silently watched the fierce battle in the video, and wrote another line in his notebook:

"The Book of the Fox, Old Testament, Chapter 17, Verse 25."

"Then the fox and her angels descended from the heavens and destroyed the jellyfish and tentacles, and all the hydras on the ground."

"Fox Gate!"
