My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

"Senior, how far have you seen my strength?"

Tang Ming sat in the car, holding the strange substance swaying between his fingers. A dark purple light floated from his fingertips. He felt that his condition had improved a lot, but he didn't have a clear idea of ​​it.

"For example, what level or something?"

"Hmm... I'm about able to goblin-level Void Beasts."

Hua Lingyou glanced at the strange substance in his hand and said casually.

"So weak... No, you're also called Goblin-class?" Tang Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

In the years following the Void invasion, people accepted the chaotic world they now lived in and no longer felt pure fear of the Void Beasts; instead, they began to analyze and study them.

Nowadays, many onlookers, once they feel safe, will take out their phones to record images of the Void Beasts in real time. Despite repeated warnings to the Demon Department and magical girls, everyone treats the Void Beasts as living fires.

Equally deadly, yet it does not inspire fear.

After online analysis and discussion, some enthusiasts divided the virtual beasts into three stages based on the density of the patterns on their bodies:

Goblin class, Unicorn class, Great Demon class.

The name was extremely crude and mindless, and the topic even had a slightly morbid humor, yet it continued to circulate online and was even regarded as the default level of the virtual beast.

In fact, even the Demon Department recognized this classification system. The person who initially named it may have just done so because of the coolness of the Void Beast patterns, but he actually pointed out the essence of the Void Beast's physique and magical strength.

Those purple patterns on his body are actually void anomalies.

In short, after a while, the name "Goblin" was accepted by the Magic Department. It is rumored that the official team and some magical girls tried to promote other names, but in the end, everyone still called it "Goblin" because of habit.

Many magical girls who later signed contracts have long been "poisoned" by online slang. (Sad)

Tang Ming truly hadn't expected that even an organization that controlled void anomalies would agree with this claim...

"Could it be that... they call it that too, over there in the void?"

"Even those innocent magical girls approve, so why shouldn't we? As for the Void... those aren't even human." Hua Lingyou curled her lip, completely unconcerned.

"So I am now a glorious Goblin-class," Tang Ming concluded expressionlessly.

"Pfft! Don't look like you're about to die, we're not on the same track."

Seeing this, Hua Lingyou stopped teasing him and reached out a hand to pull a thread from Tang Ming's fingertip.

"Most of the virtual beasts in the city are defective products, barely surviving on a little bit of alien energy; at best, they are parasites."

"Didn't you notice that these virtual beasts, to varying degrees, resemble a grotesque hybrid of various creatures?"

Tang Ming's mind conjured up various beast-shaped, insect-shaped, and bird-shaped phantom beasts, and it seemed that it really was true.

Hua Lingyou saw Tang Ming nod and continued, "Although the naming on the internet is frivolous, the division of these three stages is very accurate."

"The parasitic Void Beasts can only reach the Great Demon level in the end. The various Void Beasts mentioned in the news are all at the level of these three stages."

"But we are different." Hua Lingyou changed the subject, and the silk thread between her fingers continued to decompose, becoming thinner threads that intertwined to form a rose.

"Our potential is even greater."

"Compare your potential when you're weak?" Tang Ming wondered.

"Although you were weak at first, barely able to compete with goblin-level Void Beasts, you will soon surpass them. Unicorns and Great Demons, those defective products, we will soon surpass them and leave them far behind."

"Then... how do I distinguish them? How do I know if I've reached a higher level?" Tang Ming frowned and raised his hand to ask.

"Body, breaking free from cocoon, becoming a butterfly, nothingness."

The silk thread in Hua Lingyou's hand changed continuously with the words she uttered, from a pupa shell to cocoon silk, then to a dark purple butterfly, and finally vanished into light and electricity.

"Four stages, representing the evolutionary path of heterogeneity. The husk stage is comparable to the goblin stage, and you are currently in this stage."

"During the metamorphosis stage, it can kill unicorn-level monsters. As for the butterfly stage, its spiritual pressure can command great demons."

"The boss... is most likely on this floor." Hua Lingyou's eyes sparkled.

"What about nothingness?" Tang Ming asked at the opportune moment.

But Hua Lingyou just shook her head, her tone uncertain.

"I don't know, and I've never seen it before. The boss just told me that this stage exists, but I suppose even the strongest magical girl in the world wouldn't be qualified to challenge it."

Hua Lingyou had no aspirations for these higher goals. She didn't crave strength at all. Rather, she joined the organization simply because of the boss.

She glanced at Tang Ming, who was just gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

"After listening, do you feel motivated to work hard? Do you have the ambition to reach the pinnacle of life and be invincible in the world?"

Hua Lingyou teased him, moving closer until their faces were only twenty centimeters apart. Tang Ming shifted slightly towards the car window and asked in return:

"Why have such ambitions? I joined the organization by chance. If I really had a thirst for magic, I would have found a way to become a wizard long ago."

"Your drawing of this pie is too simplistic."

"That makes sense. The boss's writing has improved a lot... You know, the other day, that unkempt brat Xiao Zhang in the conference room had his eyes light up after hearing the boss finish speaking."

Hua Lingyou began to mimic Xiao Zhang's fanatical expression.

"He couldn't wait to go out and search for Void Beasts and other magical forces to evolve his alien nature. Later, he even set his sights on magical girls and went to cause trouble several times. I think he'll die at the hands of those old women sooner or later."

"Magical girl...it sounds like a girl, right? Is it really possible for one to be more mature than my senior?" Tang Ming asked hesitantly.

Hua Lingyou was immediately displeased and grabbed his sleeve to interrogate him.

"You're just finding ways to insult me, aren't you! Are you interested in that Xingyu now, and you're upset about being called an old woman?"

"No, no, no, don't overthink it. I just thought magical girls were all minors."

"Maybe it was true before, but it's less so now. Plus, with those who are gradually coming of age, who knows what kind of ugly women with wrinkles are hiding under those magical skins."

Tang Ming sensed the growing resentment in the car. Clutching the box in his hands, he huddled to one side, wanting nothing more than to get closer to the car door. If possible, he even considered getting out of the car.

The woman gripped the steering wheel, her expression furious. He was terrified she would drive into a ditch... He wondered if he would have time to transform first, and with that thought, he tightened his grip on the box.

-----------------

In Fengcheng District of Fangzhou City, there is an uninhabited vacant lot a few kilometers away on the outskirts.

"Achoo!"

Xingyu rubbed her nose, patted her face strangely, and then touched her head.

"Can magical girls catch a cold?" Hoshino frowned.

"Sister Xingyu, what's wrong?"

Gun Red threw down his red spear and ran to her side, his eyes full of expectation: "Are you tired? Why don't we rest for a bit?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing at all. Maybe someone is just cursing me," Xingyu murmured.

"Why are you here again? Hurry up and train! There are still twenty spells you haven't mastered yet."

Xingyu looked up and realized that Qiang Hong was already slacking off next to her, so she quickly patted her butt and urged her to continue training.

"Ugh... Sis, I've already reached page three, can I take a break? It's the weekend, let's go shopping!"

"Because you're new to page three, you need to be more careful and attentive when choosing techniques. Let's go shopping after the sun goes down."

"Sister Xingyu! You're just making empty promises!"

Unfortunately, Gun Red always listened to Xing Yu the most. While muttering complaints, he obediently walked back to the open space, picked up his gun, and began to practice seriously.
