Is it only magical girls?

Qingyin also leaned towards Miyu. She didn't use the term "suppression" at all; she didn't think they could possibly suppress this super-large monster.

"So you're just going to do nothing?!"

Ye Liu pounded her fist against the wall, knowing in her heart that she was probably powerless, and she simply hated this feeling of powerlessness. If Qian Chan were here, she didn't know what choice she would make, but Ye Liu believed she would definitely attack the colossal monster, because Qian Chan was confident that she could lead everyone to a safe retreat.

Yuanxing was well aware of the current atmosphere, and she knew she had to do something. She looked at Lingling, intending to ask for her opinion.

Before Yuanxing could ask, Lingling spoke up: "I'll listen to Yuanxing."

“Then let’s go protect the students. If the colossal monster attacks, it won’t be like we’ve done nothing.” Yuanxing turned to look at the colossal monster outside the house. “And don’t you guys find it strange? Generally, colossal monsters are formed from powerful evil thoughts, but this one hasn’t done anything destructive. Why is that?”

Faced with the question of the distant star, everyone fell silent.

Finally, it was Aon who broke the silence: "You wouldn't expect us novice magical girls, who are just like you, to answer your questions, would you?"

"That's true. (栮九泣揪珊捌陸.月-漪)"

The Magical Girls Starlight Squad takes action, but Farstar's most pressing question remains unanswered: the colossal monster, though intimidating, shows no intention of making a move.

Maybe···

This colossal monster is trying to gather energy, waiting to wreak havoc later. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to attack now?

If we attack, the colossal monster might suddenly go berserk and act erratically. Would it be better to just watch it?

Two thoughts kept switching in Yuanxing's mind, and she had no idea which answer to choose.

Just as Yuanxing was at a loss, the first reinforcements arrived. It was a magical girl who looked like a biker gang member, whom she had seen by chance before, riding a motorcycle.

Even from a distance, the magical girl's joyous, almost war-like cry could be heard: "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Following the sound, a white motorcycle sped towards the colossal monster without stopping, heading straight for it. With the impact, flames shot into the sky, and a series of explosions erupted as the monster's spider-like, hairy legs began to climb upwards. Amidst the explosions, the ground shook violently, and pillars identical to the previous colossal monster burst through the earth.

A total of eight pillars stand on the earth. At the center of the eight pillars, a vortex of sand and dust suddenly appears, pulling everything around it in, as if it wants to devour everything.

The magical girls quickly ascended into the air, where they finally saw the center of the vortex: a distorted shape with eight hideous faces squeezed together. Around the faces were root-like structures that were indistinguishable as flesh or vines, twisting and connecting to the eight pillars.

Farstar could only call those things pillars. These pillars were all different, including crab claws, spider legs, giant trees, dragons, elephant trunks, octopus heads, scorpion tails, and human hands. No two were the same.

Everyone present was disgusted and terrified by the true form of the colossal monster, except for Yuanxing and Lingling, who were different.

Yuanxing stared intently at the scorpion tail. She felt that the scorpion tail looked very familiar. Her guild had previously hunted down large monsters with scorpion tails like this. The two scorpion tails were exactly the same except for their size.

Lingling thought it through simply. She felt that if she died to protect Yuanxing, she would definitely become number one!

Chapter 23, Twenty-Three, truly boarded a mud boat.

On a distant hill, the silver-haired Lolita strolled leisurely, carefully observing the enormous monster that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh? A magical girl has arrived? That girl who cried during yesterday's global live stream, she's so cute, I want one."

"I wonder if I can defeat the mud?"

The colossal monster stood motionless on the ground with only one tentacle, making no attempt to destroy anything.

"Failed?" Lolita speculated nonchalantly, "Was the evil not mixed enough? Only one of the eight evil thoughts turned into a monster? Where did the other seven evil thoughts go? Could they have canceled each other out? Or perhaps they couldn't be successfully materialized? Did something go wrong in one of my steps?"

Lolita took out her tablet and began to check her previous experimental records, trying to find the reason for the experiment.

As she was engrossed in reviewing the lab records, a roar rang out: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"very noisy."

Immediately following was another explosion.

Lolita tilted her head back and looked toward the source of the explosion, naturally seeing the twisted ground and the seven more tentacles that had slowly stretched out.

"What the hell is this?"

Lolita flipped through the title recorded on her tablet: Project Hydra. Hydra, as its name suggests, is a snake with nine heads, each head resembling neither a dragon nor a snake, and exuding a majestic aura.

Lolita looked at the design, then at the actual product, and frowned: "What kind of weird thing is this? It's ugly and doesn't look like what I designed."

After thinking for a moment, she renamed Project Hydra to Project Alien, and deleted the concept art of Hydra, replacing it with photos she had just taken.

After doing all this, Lolita nodded in satisfaction: "The plan was a success, exactly as I designed it."

Lolita activated the recording function on her tablet to take notes: "The materialized alien has eight completely different tentacles. This is likely because the malevolence that constitutes the alien comes from eight different large monsters. The amount of malevolence is sufficient, but the causal relationship between the malevolence is too distant to allow for perfect fusion. Next, we will observe the specific combat abilities of the experimental subject. In any case, the experiment of materializing malevolence into monsters through artificial means has been successful, proving the possibility I envisioned, and bringing us one step closer to achieving our true goal."

Farstar's attention remained focused on the scorpion tail. Looking at the scorpion tail that was exactly the same as in her memory, she had a bold idea. If the scorpion tail was exactly the same, did that mean the attack pattern was also exactly the same? If so, then it meant they had exclusive experience fighting this monster. Magical girls wouldn't lose to the same monster twice, so they would definitely win against the scorpion tail.

If we win...

That's equivalent to defeating one-eighth of the super-large monsters!

Farstar, full of fighting spirit, shouted, "Follow me! Let's go to Scorpion Tail!"

"Huh? How come the chess style is being used by Yue Yi?"

The companions murmured amongst themselves, but still chose to follow. Even Tao Ying, who suddenly appeared in her special attack suit, followed. What intrigued Yuanxing was that her motorcycle, despite having been in an explosion, was still intact. She was holding it between her legs, seemingly riding a flying motorcycle, but in reality, she was flying along with the motorcycle.

Yuanxing said, "That scorpion tail is exactly the same as the scorpion tail of the large monsters we fought before. I think their attack patterns are the same, so I want to try to get rid of that tail."

“Okay,” Miyu responded readily this time, “but what if the attack pattern is different?”

"Retreat immediately."

"I have no opinion."

If Mi You had no objections, then naturally the others had even fewer.

The first move in a battle is usually initiated by a barrier-type magical girl. Lingling, unarmed, raises her hands and releases magic, drawing strands of energy from the monster. Barrier-type magical girls manipulate malevolent barriers; their control over magic is the most refined. They excel at extracting and purifying malevolent energy from monsters in a meticulous, unraveling process, leaving barriers riddled with holes after being purified by a barrier-type magical girl.

Moreover, Lingling's methods are among the best of all barrier-type magical girls. She can distinguish between evil thoughts that are causally related amidst a mixture of evil thoughts, and thus quickly purify a hole in the barrier of evil thoughts.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity! Opportunities to easily purify a hole like this are rare!

"Honey!"

Ye Liu shouted and rushed towards the scorpion-tailed monster.

Tao Ying didn't say anything; she just rushed over.

Miyu replied, "You're not the commander, don't order me around!"

Despite her verbal rebuttal, Miyu moved with lightning speed, nocking three arrows from her bow and then firing them three more times in quick succession. A total of nine arrows pierced the dents in the barrier of malevolence, scattering in all directions and transforming into ropes in the void surrounding the scorpion-tailed monster, fixing it in place in mid-air. For a moment, the scorpion-tailed monster could only struggle, unable to mount any effective physical attacks.

After doing all that, Miyou said, "Remember to give orders after you go to Farstar, okay? You're the leader, after all."

Ok?

Just as Farstar was gathering magic power to unleash the magic cannon, she looked up, glanced blankly at Miyu, and after several seconds it dawned on her: "I gave the order? Ah! I completely forgot!"

Collective action is not easy, Mi You sighed.

To help Yuanxing develop the awareness to be the right leader, Qingyin said, "Xiaoxing, give me your orders."

"Oh!"

Yuanxing stared at Qingyin, his mind blank. What was Qingyin doing when they were fighting the large monsters? What was she doing during the usual exercises? He had absolutely no recollection of it.

Yuanxing's little expressions kept changing, making Qingyin feel a chill run down her spine.

But Yuanxing understood perfectly. She said, "I command Qingyin to act freely!"

Qingyin sighed in despair: "You, even if there's only one real battle, there are many exercises. What have you remembered?"

Although she was asking a question, Qingyin's hands didn't stop. She directly pulled out three cards and threw them at Yeliu, Taoying, and Yuanxing. The three cards flashed with images of a wild boar, a divine deer, and a spirit butterfly. The boar could greatly enhance Yeliu's strength and defense, the deer could greatly enhance the motorcycle's speed, and the butterfly could increase Yuanxing's magic power. These were powerful support spells that could provide strong support for the team's main combat force.

"The senior's figure, the monster's attack method, and the control of magic."

A perfect example of combining public and private life: on the public front, he focused on the monsters' attack methods and fulfilled his duties; on the private front, he cared for his childhood sweetheart. Beyond that, he knew absolutely nothing. This is truly...

Qingyin and Miyou both shook their heads, not knowing how to describe Yuanxing.

Lingling looked over and shook her head and sighed, "We've really been thrown into a muddy boat."

Even Lingling said that?!

Yuanxing pouted: "I will try my best to be a good leader in the future. You are free to do whatever you want today!"

Chapter 24 Twenty-four You are the true heroes of the land!

Among all magical girls, melee magical girls face the greatest challenge, as they stand on the front lines against monsters and are therefore the most dangerous. To mitigate this danger, they must master techniques beyond magic, such as footwork, weaponry, and hand-to-hand combat. These are not magic, and even magical girls cannot easily master them. However, magical girls who have mastered these techniques become incredibly powerful once they enter combat mode, unleashing power comparable to ranged fighters in the blink of an eye. They can also refine their defenses through techniques like close combat and footwork, making them arguably the strongest magical girls.

Qianchan is this type of magical girl.

Although she once boasted that she would replace Qianchan, Ye Liu knew very well that it was impossible. She was not a second-generation heir, nor had she trained for several years to become a magical girl. How could she become the kind of magical girl whose defensive abilities were comparable to defensive types, whose offensive abilities were comparable to ranged types, who knew a little bit of summoning magic, and who had free time to command the battlefield?

But that's okay. Yoru can choose a shortcut to become an excellent attack-type magical girl: leave the job to others!

"Summon the spirits of the fallen!"

Behind Ye Liu shone a brilliant light, the bright yet serene glow of a full moon hanging in the night sky. This light rapidly climbed forward, adding another layer of golden armor to Ye Liu's magical girl form. A full moon hung in the air behind her head, radiating a soft and sacred golden light.

"Magical Girl Tsukuyomi!"

Ye Liu said he would transform into Chichan, and he would transform into Chichan instantly. First, he would transform into Chichan in terms of position, then in terms of attire, and finally in terms of technique. These things are very difficult to do, but if he used the method of summoning a Heroic Spirit to transform into the magical girl Tsukuyomi Ise, then things would become very simple!

Qianchan's ancestor must resemble Qianchan!

Those watching from mid-air had question marks on their foreheads.

Yuanxing commented sharply: "Ye Liu is clumsy, but so cute."

Miyou said, "She is indeed cute, but she's a bit clumsy."

Qingyin said, "So stupid, I don't even know why your score is higher than mine."

Compared to Ye Liu, Momo Sakura's side...

Tao Ying was completely baffled, and Qing Yin didn't know why the motorcycle was receiving the blessing. Now, the motorcycle had transformed into a form somewhat resembling a spirit deer, hurtling upwards along the scorpion's tail. Although the scorpion's tail was almost perpendicular to the ground, it did nothing to stop the motorcycle's frenzied advance. Tao Ying wasn't actually sitting on the motorcycle, nor could it be seen that she was controlling it; she was simply being propelled upwards by the motorcycle. It was more accurate to say that Tao Ying was being controlled by the motorcycle.

Of course, Tao Ying wasn't completely controlled by the motorcycle. Occasionally, she would step onto the scorpion's tail, lifting the motorcycle off it, spinning in the air, and smashing the motorcycle down on the tail like a giant hammer. She continued to climb and accelerate, finally reaching the top of the scorpion's tail before it completely broke free of the chains set by Miyu.

The motorcycle spewed out a violent jet of gas, its exhaust pipe bursting into flames. Tao Ying spun the motorcycle several times in the air before slamming it down, bringing down the scorpion tail hammer that had just broken free of its restraints. The drooping scorpion tail was aimed directly at the full moon boomerang thrown by Ye Liu. The full moon boomerang collided back and forth within the bulging evil intent of the demon, stripping the scorpion tail's spike completely, revealing a crystal-clear, round jade stone.

A magic stone! A weak point for monsters, like their heart! It's exactly the same location as the large monster we fought before!

Farstar's magic cannon has been waiting for a long time!

The magic cannon, already compressed and focused, fired without missing a beat, piercing through the dent torn open by Lingling and shattering the magic stone at the scorpion's tail. The shattered magic stone released pure magic energy that scattered in all directions.

Having landed a successful blow, Yuanxing looked at her wand with some confusion. This colossal monster wasn't as powerful as she had imagined; she felt her attack power was about the same as when she had fought large monsters before. Was this monster truly colossal? She knew very well that if a colossal monster appeared, the Paradise would give a three-day warning, and everyone in the area would be evacuated. But this time, that wasn't the case; it appeared suddenly. Had the Paradise's divination failed? Or was there some other reason?

Yuanxing was extremely concerned about this question; she felt there must be some unspeakable secret hidden within it, perhaps...

It's related to the reason Qianchan disappeared!

Miyu pointed to the group of demons not far away and asked, "Yuanxing, how about we deal with those people over there next?"

Yuanxing looked around and saw that several teams of magical girls had arrived to provide support, including the magical girl they had met before who called herself the Phantom Thief Girl II. However, this time she was traveling with her teammates, and she seemed very relaxed, chatting with them.

The second phantom thief also noticed Yuanxing. She raised her finger in surprise and pointed over here: "That junior who burst into tears on live stream!"

So annoying!

Her chat partner immediately turned around and asked, "Where's that junior who burst into tears on the live stream?!"

I've been saying it's so annoying!

Yuanxing immediately focused his attention on the human-handed monster: "Lingling, kill it!"

"Oh!"

The Farstar team turned their guns around and searched for new monsters to engage in battle.

Lolita's observation on the hilltop was not over yet: "Mud is mud, mud can never be plastered on a wall, but mud can still be valuable for cultivating flowers. This mud's combat power is worrying. As expected, the integration of evil thoughts failed and a real main body was not born. Mud of this level cannot be expected to have combat power, but it can make so many flowers bloom in one go, so mud can be considered valuable."

Lolita tapped the tablet in her hand. Two options appeared on the screen: "Recyclable Waste" on the left and "Non-Recyclable Waste" on the right. Lolita hesitated for a moment, then ultimately tapped the right option, abandoning her plan to recycle these wicked thoughts.

"Although there was a minor issue with combat effectiveness falling short of expectations, this is within an acceptable range considering the limits of Mud's abilities."

Lolita concluded that the experiment was successful and that they could proceed to the next stage.

She watched quietly, and after confirming that the battle was completely over and that all eight tentacles of the alien had been defeated, it flew towards the school.

Reaching the monster's summit, she descended slowly, bowing to the assembled crowd: "The Paradise's divination team failed to foresee the appearance of this colossal monster, causing everyone distress, and we are truly sorry. However, such unexpected events cannot defeat our magical girls, nor can they defeat our brave friends. Thanks to the efforts of the magical girls who symbolize love and peace, and with the assistance of you—the true heroes—we have successfully overcome this crisis. Let us cheer for each other!"

Chapter 25: Never let her shed tears other than those of happiness.

Although the monsters were defeated, many students secretly ran away, making it impossible to continue the class.

Since there were no classes, the Far Star Team naturally chose to rush towards the monsters and show off their glorious achievement of having just defeated a quarter of the colossal monsters. Even for a [Ace of Ace] level magical girl, this was the best they could achieve. After all, the time and location of colossal monster appearances were announced in advance by the park, and confident magical girls would wait at the target location well in advance. No matter how skilled they were, it was rare to have the opportunity to defeat a monster single-handedly.

Even the most threatening colossal monsters are no match for magical girls. One reason why many magical girls only sing, dance, do live streams, and act is that they simply can't get their hands on monsters and don't want to remain bottom-tier magical girls forever. So, they have no choice but to switch to other fields. Most company-affiliated magical girls follow this path.

"Sister Hongshi! How did you know we just defeated a super-large monster?!"
