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

Hoshino gazed at her primordial magic book, where only three spells remained glowing. Her face showed no panic, even though this was the most dangerous moment for a magical girl. At this moment, Hoshino became even calmer.

The magic power projected by the contract was only enough to maintain the transformation. Even if the magic power accumulated from the source was used, no high-level spells could be released.

She currently only has enough magic to cast three basic spells. Once she runs out, she'll have to use talismans to hit people.

At this moment, she couldn't help but envy Qiang Hong. The original weapon bestowed by the demon was a convenient long spear. Even without the enhancement of magic, it could be used as a melee weapon to hold off enemies for a period of time.

She looked up at the sky, which was filled with eerie darkness, with not a single star or speck of dust in sight.

It was the same neighborhood, but there was no sign of life. Anyone could tell that this was not reality. However, Xingyu didn't know if it was another illusion or if she had fallen into the void.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to conceal the projection of [Dreamland Beyond] anywhere in reality.

Seeing that everyone and all the insects had surrounded him, Tang Ming quickly fled backward.

He was already fast, and in this place, his unique abilities were even more effective. People behind him couldn't catch up with him for a while, and were even gradually falling behind.

Tang Ming mustered all his strength and ran in one direction, but he realized something was wrong when he ran to the back and no one was chasing him anymore.

He was still trapped in this place, with streets and buildings that seemed just like reality, but the sky was deathly silent. The further he ran, the more biting cold hit him, and he instinctively felt that the unknown ahead was an endless abyss.

"We can't go any further."

Tang Ming stopped and climbed to the highest rooftop. Looking back, the golden and black lights of the battle were now so far away that they were almost invisible.

Looking ahead, the urban area of ​​Fangzhou City stretches endlessly into the distance, with the horizon a vast expanse of black.

Centered on the gray-robed man, a circle extending outward for more than ten kilometers resembled a designated area. Tang Ming was unsure what would happen if he left this area.

But the crystal armor on his body began to transmit terrifying alarms, and this unique emotion was almost synesthetic, allowing Tang Ming to personally experience it.

Unable to continue his escape, Tang Ming decided to go back and deal with the gray-robed man. Only by eliminating him might he have a chance to leave this hellish place.

Xingyu is his most important asset, and he cannot abandon him.

After thinking it through, Tang Ming no longer hesitated and quickly returned the way he came.

"Why is he running so fast? Should we chase after him?"

The group of men assigned by the gray-robed man to chase Tang Ming looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been running for a long time, but their target had vanished without a trace.

"Forget it, as long as it didn't come back to cause trouble, it's fine. A mere beast is nothing to worry about. Let's go back and help the priest." A person stood on the roof, his hand on his forehead, straining to see the distant black dot getting smaller and smaller.

"If it tries to run away, it's just courting death; if it falls into the void, it can only wait to perish on its own."

The group had only run a few steps back when they heard a whooshing sound coming from behind them.

"That beast is back again!"

"Hahaha, they've walked right into our trap. Looks like they don't dare go any further. Quickly kill them and bring the alien back!"

The ugly bodies of the men began to twist, and segments of crystals pierced out of their flesh, blending with the skin and flesh like a piece of fleshy armor.

Tang Ming watched, feeling utterly disgusted. If he were interrupted halfway through his transformation, would his flesh and crystal become stuck together like this?

"I don't know if magical girl transformations can be interrupted, but no one can see them transform anyway."

Looking at the seven or eight people and the large insect following closely behind, Tang Ming did not dodge. His body expressed a bloodthirsty desire. Driven by this impulse, he showed even more uncanny agility and dodged the sneak attack from behind.

The attacker scoffed, his assassination attempt hidden in the shadows easily evaded. His cervical spine glowed; his torso, modified by the void's alien substance, could unleash superhuman speed. Failing with his first strike, he immediately swept his legs across, giving Tang Ming no chance to catch his breath.

Tang Ming calmly parried the relentless attacks with his hands, keeping an eye on the movements of the others out of the corner of his eye.

The others surrounded it, each using their own methods, trying to kill the virtual beast on the spot.

They knew very well that the physical strength and endurance of the Void Beasts were far beyond their own. Even the magical girls were unwilling to engage in a war of attrition with the Void Beasts. In their haste, they all overlooked Tang Ming's changes.

"Abundant heterogeneity is our advantage. Treat the crystal armor as your partner and don't be bound by your current physical form..." Hua Lingyou's instructions rang in my ears.

Strands of crystal shot out from Tang Ming's right arm, embedding themselves in the wall beside him. The strands instantly hardened into crystal armor, resembling an extended arm, pulling Tang Ming to the right and breaking through the crowd's encirclement.

These people, having undergone heterogeneous infection, parasitism, selection, and symbiosis... were no pushovers. Seeing Tang Ming break out of the encirclement, they immediately changed direction and attacked together.

Tang Ming moved through the house, not brute forcefully smashing through the brick walls that blocked his way, though he could have done so.

The crowd saw a tall, ethereal beast that was anything but dull-witted. It skillfully leaped through human buildings, threading needles through window cracks and alleyways.

The group was momentarily unable to muster any strength, and even their attempts to aim the corrosive liquid at it missed the windowsill, failing to even touch Tang Ming.

The group was led around by Tang Ming like a cat playing with mice. Tang Ming kept darting back and forth by piercing into the wall with his limbs, dodging various beams of light by pulling left and right. Where no one could see, the crystals Tang Ming had pierced into the wall never cut through, but instead burrowed into the wall structure.

"Your speed is an even greater weapon of potential. Unlike magical girls, we don't possess magic or spells. Ranged attacks like magic beams are too difficult for us. But your speed can turn even the hardest crystal armor into a deadly weapon..."

Recalling his senior's words, Tang Ming smiled slightly, but unfortunately, the other party could not see his expression and was completely unprepared for Tang Ming's attack.

"receive."

Tang Ming stood still, activating the alien energy within his body. His crystalline armor trembled violently, and the threads attached to his body acted like bomb fuses. The threads connecting several buildings hardened into purple crystals, which continued to expand, their translucent edges piercing through the concrete and surrounding everyone.

The insects, following closely behind, tried to break the amethyst prison by colliding with each other. Pieces of crystal shattered continuously. Tang Ming didn't have time to spare and clasped his arms together in front of his chest.

Crystal armor, growing everywhere, attacked everyone's weak points from all blind spots.

"It's a trap! This beast is running around like that, trying to wipe us out in one fell swoop!"

"Arrogant! Activate heterogeneity to expand defenses!"

During his escape, Tang Ming never left this area, using the intricate and complex house structure to continuously weave his own threads, creating a web of death.

He was so fast that his opponent didn't even realize the trap and was constantly being pulled along, stepping into the vortex.

Despite everyone huddling together and launching various attacks to counter the incoming purple crystals, countless insects acted as meat shields to defend against the deadly whipping blows.

But Tang Ming's speed when he fled for his life has now become their nightmare.

After devouring forty or fifty Void Tremor Insects, his mastery of heterogeneous matter became even more proficient. In this unfamiliar place, Crystal Armor was as excited as if it had returned to its hometown.

Combined, Tang Ming's strength is now completely different from what it was before he entered the illusion.

As the source of countless crystals, his arms twitched continuously with Tang Ming's rotation. He ran around these people, and once he found a leak, he would stab it frantically.

Surrounded by crystals, no one could see Tang Ming's figure, so how could they possibly fight back?

The purple cage tightened and tightened, like a poisonous cocoon, constantly corroding the enemies within its web.

Every enemy who was accidentally stabbed had their alien essence extracted from their entire body. Regardless of whether the wound was fatal, the instantaneous weakness after the extraction caused the city gates to gape open and the defensive perimeter to collapse...

The sounds inside dwindled, and the crystal net was gradually weakened until only one person remained inside. A spherical light shield protected his entire body, preventing the purple crystal net from crossing the line.
