Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 165 He

Five days later.

Yuan led Tang Feng through the long underground corridor, the dim incandescent light overhead casting long shadows behind them.

"We'll be there soon," said Tobi, now Saori.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. What exactly is this secret you're talking about?" Tang Feng looked around at the surroundings. The walls were made of metal and covered in rust, making it look like an abandoned military factory.

"You'll see when we get there." Saori rarely showed a playful expression.

After a while, the two stopped outside an iron gate. Saori reached out and touched it lightly. A faint magical ripple appeared, and the heavy metal gate opened automatically.

Saori turned around and smiled at Tang Feng before walking inside. Tang Feng probed the interior with his senses but found nothing unusual, so he followed Saori through the gate.

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut behind Tang Feng.

This is a fairly large, enclosed room. There is no light inside; as far as the eye can see, it is pitch black.

Just as Tang Feng was feeling puzzled, Saori crouched down in the darkness, fiddling with something. Soon, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground, and the purple-black magic light illuminated the entire room.

Tang Feng seemed to have realized something.

Saori turned around and gave Tang Feng a slight smile.

"Maple, this is a ceremony prepared for you."

"ceremony?"

"I am the priest of this ceremony."

Upon hearing the word "priest," Tang Feng frowned slightly. "This is the secret you were talking about?"

Saori nodded. "Yes, that's why I retired. Only magical girls who have recently retired can withstand powerful magical energy and will not have a rejection reaction to energy from non-magical girls, making them suitable to preside over such an important ceremony."

"But why does this ceremony give me such a bad feeling?"

"Of course," Saori said with a smile.

"Because maple is one of the most important offerings."

.

An eerie silence fell over the scene for a moment, and Tang Feng tentatively spoke.

"Are you kidding me?"

Saori gave Tang Feng a strange look. "You've been in here for so long, and you still haven't realized you can't control your magic?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng tried it briefly, but the vast magical power within him seemed to be suppressed by something. No matter how he called out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

The light emanating from the magic circle inside the secret room gradually became dangerous. Tang Feng could sense that the reason came from some kind of mysterious power emanating from the magic circle.

It was even more domineering than the life-destroying demon-sealing array he had faced before.

Tang Feng's heart finally sank.

"Who is the other party?" he asked.

Tang Feng didn't believe that there was any existence in this world that could suppress his magic power to the point of complete immobility.

This couldn't possibly be the power of a kite, or even the power of a magical girl, because Tang Feng felt that he was actually faintly inclined to submit to this power.

What a joke! He's already the supreme "emperor" in the world. What power could possibly make him submit?!

Tang Feng's aura erupted suddenly. Even though it contained no magic power, his fierce and domineering imperial aura directly met the strange power emanating from the magic array.

The surging energy emanating from Tang Feng was completely swallowed up by the magic circle, like snow melting into seawater, without causing a ripple.

"Haha, did Maple Emperor never expect to have such a pathetic day?"

A voice that was neither male nor female rang out, hoarse and grating, like the sound of some old, worn-out videotape.

"Who's playing tricks there?" Tang Feng frowned, judging from the other person's tone, it seemed they knew him.

A plume of black smoke gradually gathered in the corner, slowly coalescing into a tall human figure. With the help of the light emitted by the magic circle, Tang Feng could see the figure's appearance clearly.

A face so ugly it was impossible to tell if someone was male or female.

Tang Feng frowned, he had no recollection of ever having dealt with such a person.

Seeing Tang Feng's expression, the other party was very satisfied. He laughed loudly, "Are you desperately trying to figure out who I really am?"

After laughing enough, the man stared at Tang Feng and said with a forced smile, "How does it feel to be betrayed? Do you understand? The pain I felt back then!"

Betrayal? Tang Feng was puzzled. As his mind raced, he suddenly realized something, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"You are... Shura?"

"I didn't expect you to still remember this name! I thought you had long forgotten what you had done!" Shura laughed wildly, his laughter ferocious and ear-piercing.

Tang Feng did not answer. Shura's death back then was inextricably linked to him, but as for betrayal, Tang Feng never felt that he had ever betrayed anyone. Ever since he became a monster, he had always wanted to kill Shura, the one who made him a monster.

The other party's hobby is hunting magical girls, and that alone makes them irreconcilable enemies.

Even though the other party treated him well, helped him a few times in the early stages of his growth, and even captured magical girls for him to enjoy.

But Tang Feng knew that the other party just enjoyed hearing the pitiful screams of magical girls. Compared to hunting them down himself, training a magical girl to be a real killer was also a lot of fun for him.

Tang Feng was surprised that he had clearly witnessed Shura's death. Under the combined attack of him and Sakura, even the last cell of the opponent was wiped out. Even the strongest emperor back then could not be brought back to life.

When Shura reappeared, she had become an ugly, neither-male-nor-female creature, showing no trace of her former self.

"I bet you're full of questions right now, but don't worry, we have plenty of time to catch up," Shura said casually, brimming with confidence.

He wanted to see the person who betrayed him weeping bitterly, to see them gradually vanish into nothingness, in order to vent his hatred.

"This power does not belong to you." Tang Feng spoke at this moment. Even the Asura in his prime could not exert such suppression on him now. This strange power seemed to be a level higher than him, a difference in the level of life.

Shura didn't answer directly, but instead spoke with a mocking tone, "You think that being an emperor is the pinnacle of evolution?"

Tang Feng openly admitted, "I have never heard of such a thing, nor has it ever been recorded in the history of magic. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will not believe that such a thing exists."

"A frog in a well," Shura sneered. "Now you've felt it; He exists."

"Him?" "The one above the emperor, the emperor, but I prefer the title of demon god. Our power all comes from this god."

"Hahahaha..." Tang Feng suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Shura frowned.

Tang Feng stopped laughing and looked at Shura with disdain. "I never thought that the Shura Emperor, who once looked down on the world, would bow down to something ethereal and become such a grotesque creature."

"You know nothing!" Shura laughed angrily. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. You'll soon see the arrival of the Demon God."

He didn't believe there was a stronger being in the world until the moment he died, when he felt His call.

He felt the power of the gods and witnessed the arrival of miracles. He finally believed that there were beings in the world that he could not resist, and that he could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

—Because his power comes from the other party.

Shura paused for a moment, "Oh no, you can't see the miracle anymore, because you are the sacrifice He sent down."

Shura waved his hand and roared, "Let it begin! This grand finale!"

Saori, who was standing nearby, was prepared. She took out a mummy-like dried corpse and threw it into the eye of the magic circle.

This is the corpse of the Black Swan, a king who has long since died.

This ritual also requires a sacrificial offering.

A living emperor.

Saori placed the helpless Tang Feng into the second array eye, and from beginning to end, she did not look at Tang Feng once.

As the grand formation was activated, Tang Feng felt his magic power and life force constantly draining away, intertwining and converging with the death energy emanating from the corpses beside him, forming a special energy that was then swallowed up by the massive and complex magic formation.

After a moment of silence, Tang Feng slowly spoke, "Even if the god you speak of truly exists, what is your purpose in summoning him? If such power were to truly descend, no one in the world could resist it, including you."

"By doing this, you are undoubtedly setting yourself on fire."

"So what?" Shura's laughter was sharp and piercing. "I've died once. Don't try to reason with a madman."

Tang Feng then changed the subject, "What about those superhumans? Did you create them?"

"It was just a small experiment conducted by the Demon God."

Shura seemed to be in a good mood, patiently answering Tang Feng's questions.

"However, it seems he failed. A weirdo who has lost his desires doesn't even have the potential to become an Emperor."

As he spoke, Shura crouched down, looking closely at Tang Feng. "After saying so much, it's time for you to answer my question. Actually, I'm very curious, how did you break free from my control back then?"

Tang Feng consumed the monster's flesh and blood, becoming his subject. Everything was under his control. But one day, this connection was suddenly severed. When they met again, Tang Feng had reached the same level as him.

This was something Shura had never been able to understand, and it was unprecedented—a puppet being able to break free from its master's control was unheard of.

Tang Feng smiled slightly, "It seems that the Demon God you speak of is not omniscient after all."

Shura's expression gradually twisted. Tang Feng's disrespect for the god he believed in was one thing, but more importantly, this guy was clearly about to die, yet he still put on such a nonchalant attitude!

He wanted to see Tang Feng kneel down in fear, terror, and tears, begging for mercy, not this expression he had now!

Shura was furious.

"Why, why are you still making that face? Aren't you fucking afraid of dying?"

"The more powerful a life form is, the more afraid it should be of death; it's ingrained in its genes!"

"Can't you feel your life force slipping away?! You only have less than half an hour left!"

"Kneel down now and lick my feet clean, and I might consider sparing your life."

Of course, Shura was lying to Tang Feng. Once the ritual started, it could never be stopped. He just wanted to see the other party make a fool of himself.

Tang Feng merely looked at the clown jumping around in front of him with disdain, his contempt deepening.

Back then, the Asura Emperor Tang Feng still respected him to some extent, but now he's like a capricious, eccentric clown.

At this moment, an indescribable wave of terror surged from the center of the magic circle and spread in all directions.

The ripples of this energy sent a chill down everyone's spine, as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe. This level of power was something they had never experienced before.

It seems the demon god is truly about to descend.

Tang Feng frowned slightly. This completely enclosed secret room could not see what was happening outside, but he thought that if such a being really descended, it would definitely cause quite a commotion, or even strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Tang Feng turned to look at Saori, who had been silently standing beside him. "Yuan, you must have other plans, right?"

Shura's loud laughter interrupted Tang Feng, "Are you still clinging to illusions? She betrayed you long ago!"

"No, that won't happen," Tang Feng said firmly. "You don't understand the feelings between me and them, the bond between me and the magical girls. That's why you failed back then."

"And now, you will fail because of this as well."

Even now, in this desperate situation, I still firmly believe that Yuan could never betray me.

As Tang Feng's powerful voice fell, Saori raised her head and revealed an extremely bright smile.

It was as if the iceberg had melted and all things were reviving.

"Sakura's right, you really do trust us unconditionally." Saori's gaze was gentle as water. "Just like we would unconditionally choose to stand by your side."

As a dazzling ray of light pierced into the dimly lit chamber, Tang Feng realized that the steel walls of the chamber had been completely melted away at some point, and the magical barrier outside had been breached in less than half a second.

Three beautiful, slender figures stood against the light outside the secret room.

Those are cherry blossoms, angelica, and roses.

With the addition of Iris and Maple, everyone is here.

Tang Feng raised an eyebrow. When Yuan suddenly turned against him, he guessed that the other party had some plan to implement, but he did not expect such a large-scale operation.

What surprised Tang Feng even more was that, as a top-tier combatant who spent every day with several magical girls, he had not received any prior notice!

These guys are actually secretly plotting something big behind his back. Aren't they afraid of not having enough teamwork and messing things up?

He'll definitely teach these lawless magical girls a lesson later, and make sure their butts are all bruised and battered.
