In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

I had to leave my hometown during my childhood…

It possesses immense power...

It has been the target of countless people's prying eyes...

Isn't this yourself?

Isn't that girl named Ophelia just another version of Columbia?

only…

Columbia was rescued by the traveler, but Ophelia... remains stuck in the quagmire!

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 37 The Authority of March?

"She looks just like me..."

Watching the white-haired girl leap onto the stage opposite her, Columbia narrowed her eyes and observed her through the gap in her blindfold.

Judging from Ophelia's expression, it's clear that this girl doesn't like fighting at all; she's just forced to submit to that vague and uncertain fate.

But the power she possessed was so real, so powerful that it was beyond the reach of ordinary people!

I'm afraid there are probably no more than a handful of beings in the entire world who could defeat Ophelia.

That is true power, belonging to the pinnacle of this world!

however…

Columbia is not of this world, nor is she a life form called human.

She is the goddess of March!

With a light touch of her bare feet, Columbia jumped off the platform. Like Ophelia, she should have fallen to the ground quickly due to gravity.

However, due to some force, the speed slowed down...

It seems completely unaffected by gravity!

Newton was practically crying in the bathroom, but then he thought about how this was a world of superpowers, and decided to give up... after all, everything could be explained by superpowers!

"The match begins now!"

As the host's voice rang out, the surrounding audience quieted down. After all, this was the battle of the Lone Poison Witch, and naturally, not a single detail could be missed.

Huhu~

The stage of the Sirius Dome should not have any wind noise because it was protected by a shield.

However, at the very beginning, Ophelia unleashed a powerful burst of stellar energy, directly affecting the surrounding airflow.

Afterwards, an incredibly terrifying purple poisonous miasma surrounded the girl. Although it did not affect her personally, the ground was clearly corroded, and even the protective shield for the audience flickered for a moment.

Fortunately, the technology in this world is advanced enough that even a witch like Ophelia, unless she deliberately tries to break through the protective barrier, will not affect the audience outside.

Besides, who said there's only one layer of protection?

To ensure the safety of the audience, the operations committee set up three layers of protective shields!

Inside the arena, Ophelia herself remained motionless, just as she had done with her previous opponents, intending only to rely on the poisonous miasma within her to defeat them.

However, this time the opponent is clearly different.

The moment the large purple hand lunged at Columbia, the moon-like girl simply leaped away, dodging what seemed like a fatal attack to outsiders.

The second and third large hands followed closely behind, attacking the girl while simultaneously shrinking her space to dodge.

Finally, Columbia lost all room to dodge and was completely surrounded by the poison gas on Ophelia's body... If those large hands covered in poison gas continued to move forward, they could easily break Columbia's petite body.

Even some of the audience members closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the horrific scene that was about to unfold.

However, no one expected that what happened next would completely overturn everyone's understanding.

Columbia, who had leaped up from the ground, suddenly hovered in mid-air, as if the pause button had been pressed.

The gas-filled hands surrounding Columbia slowed down visibly until they came to a complete stop.

"Oh! Colombia has finally activated her ability!"

"Although her title is 'Moonlight Witch,' it's clear from previous battles that Colombian contestant possesses the ability to control gravity!"

"Is this completely frozen scene because she altered the surrounding gravity?"

wrong!

not like this!

The audience seemed to accept this explanation, but the first to sense something was amiss were Columbia's current opponent...

Ophelia, the Poisonous Witch!

Although the beautiful white-haired, red-eyed girls around her despised fighting, she still managed to defeat almost all her competitors and ascend to the throne of number one in Levof Black by virtue of her own strength!

Although her skills were somewhat rough, having witnessed so many battles between strong individuals and defeated those top experts, Ophelia still possessed her own judgment.

That's not gravity manipulation at all!

Because in Ophelia's perception, the poisonous gas was still under her control, but no matter what commands she gave, it remained frozen in place...

It's like it's been stopped!

The ability to manage time?

The captain of the Star Hunter Guard in the water city is a witch with the ability to manipulate time, and she is also extremely powerful.

That's why Ophelia immediately thought of the ability to stop time when she encountered this change.

"Are you also... a witch with multiple abilities?"

"Queen Vera is really lucky..."

The previous Wanglong Star Martial Arts Festival featured Sylvia, and this year there's an additional member, Columbia.

Although Quenville has always been considered the weakest academy, its top talents are in no way inferior to those of other academies!

"I'm sorry, but I can't afford to lose this battle..."

"This is my destiny."

The next moment, the toxic gas surged!

The purple on the stage increased, even damaging one of the protective shields... Keep in mind, Ophelia didn't intentionally damage the shields; she merely increased the amount of poison gas released, and it easily destroyed everything around her.

Even the second protective shield was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment!

Without a doubt, apart from the user of the ability, Ophelia herself, no living being could survive in such an environment, because this terrifying poison gas would corrode everything!

"It really is terrifying poison gas..."

Although Columbia closed her eyes, how could she possibly be kept in the dark about what was happening around her?

I have never used the true power of the March; I have only used the most basic power to fight.

For example, in the game, you can control the power of water, and a heavy attack can create a "small moon" effect, or there's the "gravity interference" explicitly stated in the skill description.

But now, as Ophelia further enhances her power, the poison gas is also amplified by the almost inexhaustible stellar energy…

Columbia will naturally use the powerful abilities that have appeared in the current storyline.

Without a doubt, this is the true power of March, bestowed upon Colombia by the goddess of March!

As the poison gas drew ever closer, Columbia slowly closed her hands.

A crescent moon appeared behind Columbia.

And the world began to regress at this moment…

PS:

I've read a lot of texts; both "March's Power" and "Four Constables" touch on these themes to some extent...

But if the Doctor can do it, Columbia can definitely do it too, right? And she'll only be stronger than the Doctor.

Columbia & Sandoni/Academic City: Chapter 38 Calling the Moon

"Master, what is this?"

"It's Tiger Peak! I'm watching this year's King Dragon Star Martial Arts Festival, and I'm currently watching the scene with the little girl using poison and the little girl using the moon~"

Inside a very traditional Chinese building, a petite girl is watching a virtual screen suspended in mid-air.

Without a doubt, at the start of the Wanglong Star Martial Arts Festival, at least eight out of ten people are watching this world-class competition, and the little girl in front of them is clearly one of them.

However, compared to ordinary viewers, this little girl's identity is very special... Fan Xinglu, the student council president of the Seventh Academy of the Realm Dragon, ranked first in the hierarchy.

Although she is only eight years old now, she has always been the ceiling of combat power in the "Academic War City" world.

Don't let her current age of eight fool you; she is actually a true "millennial fairy"!

According to information from the original work, Fan Xinglu was actually born in the eighth year of the Wude era of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, which is 625 AD. She existed long before this world became a world of superpowers.

The reason he has now become an 8-year-old is because he used a secret reincarnation technique and was reborn once again.

"Poison and the moon? You mean the 'Lone Poison Witch' and the 'Moonlight Witch'?"

"That's right! Tiger Peak, who do you think will win this match?"

Watching Columbia in the video hiding from the poison gas, Fan Xinglu suddenly turned her head to look at her apprentice, a boy named Zhao Hufeng.

Who will win?

Zhao Hufeng was visibly taken aback by the question, but he quickly recovered and began to think about the scenes he had watched during the Star Martial Festival.

"To be honest, I think the Poisonous Witch is better."

Ophelia's power is evident to all. Anyone who has witnessed the outburst of this "Lone Poison Witch" will never forget that powerful force!

Poisonous miasma everywhere!

Nearly infinite stellar power!

While not particularly strong in terms of technique, the two points mentioned above perfectly compensate for this weakness, just like the saying goes…

In the face of absolute strength, all skills are insignificant!

Ophelia's power renders any schemes or tricks ineffective, which is why she is known as one of the strongest witches.

Zhao Hufeng's answer naturally aligned with the general public's impression. Although he had never fought Ophelia, just by looking at her, he knew he absolutely couldn't win, at least not now...

"Hmm, more or less?"

Zhao Hufeng's answer did not surprise Fan Xinglu, because on the surface, Colombia had no chance of winning.

Or rather, so far, Columbia's demonstrated strength has not been sufficient to allow her to defeat Ophelia.

Unless there is some hidden plan, Columbia has no chance of winning, but is there really any hidden plan that can defeat Ophelia?

"But, I don't think so..."

Looking at Columbia on the screen, who was already enveloped in purple poison gas but showed no sign of panic, Fan Xinglu's lips curled up slightly.

"The competition isn't over yet, who knows what the outcome will be? Maybe that little guy is hiding a trump card that even surprises this old woman?"

Ultimately, the abilities of "witches" and "magicians" are not really reasonable.

Some people, having just acquired this ability, are able to reach the pinnacle of the world. Others, even after acquiring the ability, only become slightly stronger…

The difference between the upper and lower limits is just too big!

Who knows what cards Columbia is holding?

However, at that moment, the stage changed once again, and Fan Xinglu's attention was drawn back to the stage...

"Oh! Could this be?!"
