Chapter 145: Stop Eating, Stop Eating
Bai Ye is very strong, but her personality lacks the heaviness and seriousness of a senior; she is like a girl who will never grow up, always exhibiting an innocent and carefree demeanor.
Even Monise, who naturally has a gloomy personality, cannot help but show a faint smile when she sees Bai Ye.
But the current Bai Ye… completely lacks that feeling.
This is a false entity that has the form of Bai Ye but not the heart of Bai Ye, Monise concluded in her mind.
What exactly is going on? Is someone impersonating Bai Ye? Who could impersonate Bai Ye? Who could disguise themselves as Bai Ye?
Countless questions surged in Monise’s mind, but her exceptionally intelligent brain could not derive any answers.
An extremely severe reality loomed over her thoughts: the power used by this Bai Ye in front of her is no different from the Bai Ye she is familiar with.
The differences between magical girls are substantial; there cannot be two magical girls who are completely identical in this world.
Yet the power wielded by this Bai Ye is exactly the same as the former Bai Ye—brilliant and overwhelming.
The Demon Lord, who could battle so many Blooming Level Magical Girls without falling behind, looks like a mere ball being effortlessly beaten in front of Bai Ye.
The damage inflicted by the magical girls’ efforts pales in comparison to a single strike from Bai Ye.
The gap in strength is simply too vast; Bai Ye’s level has long surpassed the so-called Blooming Level, reaching a height that all beings and magical beasts can only look up to.
The Demon Lord struggles with all its might; it has pushed its power to the utmost limit, and in this state, it can pierce through a planet with a single blow.
But the magic cannon released with all its strength is gently cleaved by that white nightmare’s sword, with pure white sword light washing over its magic cannon, leaving a profound gash on its gigantic vertical pupils.
It has used all kinds of attacks, yet what fills it with despair is that no matter the technique, that white figure can break it with a single sword.
Its wounds are increasing in number and depth; it feels exhausted and senses death gradually descending upon it.
If I had not abandoned my army, if I had come to battle this creature after recovering from my injuries, would the outcome have been different? the Demon Lord questions itself internally.
No, there would be no difference. In front of this enemy, quantity has lost all meaning.
Just as the army of spirits means nothing to it, its own army means nothing to this existence.
This is… a forbidden existence that cannot exist in this world!
Another flash of sword light blooms on its body, causing its exterior to completely crack, revealing the dark, fleshy matter inside.
The black flames extinguish; it has lost its ability to resist.
Meanwhile, the white girl raises her sword, with a flowing white light pouring out of it.
A dreadful aura emanates from afar; the Demon Lord knows this is the final strike.
“Sleep forever in the brilliance!” Luo Shuangyue raises her long sword, ready to use her last ounce of strength to completely kill this Demon Lord.
But just as she intends to strike down the sword, her movement suddenly halts.
Her heart starts to race violently, and black-purple magical energy swells before her, coalescing into a butterfly-shaped hairpin.
“Eh?”
What is happening? I clearly didn’t use the power of the Dark Butterfly? Luo Shuangyue is stunned; she desperately tries to control her body to strike down that deadly sword, but the coldness surging within completely restrains her body, rendering her unable to move.
Then, an even more confusing event occurs.
The butterfly hairpin that appeared on its own flutters its wings and actively flies to her hair, symmetrically positioned opposite Bai Ye’s white flower hairpin.
An ominous black-purple aura instantly pours out from her body, dyeing Bai Ye’s pure white dress with a terrifying color.
A gigantic shadowy butterfly emerges from Luo Shuangyue’s back, directly lunging at the now defenseless Demon Lord.
It wants to devour the Demon Lord! Luo Shuangyue almost instantly comprehends the situation; the power of the Dark Butterfly emerges now because it has its eyes on the power of the Demon Lord.
If Bai Ye destroys the Demon Lord, Luo Shuangyue will gain nothing, but if the Big Butterfly eats the Demon Lord, she will gain much more.
No, that’s not right, it’s not about Luo Shuangyue gaining more; it’s about the Big Butterfly obtaining more.
“No, I have to stop it…” Luo Shuangyue’s intuition is frantically alarmed. If the Big Butterfly devours this Demon Lord, an outcome she absolutely does not want to see will inevitably occur.
She cannot let the Big Butterfly have its way!
Bai Ye’s power is nearly exhausted, and while the Big Butterfly’s strength is still considerable, it lacks quality.
The two forces within Luo Shuangyue’s body can be considered evenly matched.
Having regained the initiative over her body with great effort, Luo Shuangyue immediately turns to the Blooming Level Magical Girls in the distance and shouts, “Stop that butterfly, quickly!”
At this moment, she has abandoned the thought of hiding her identity; first, she must resolve this significant problem.
Upon hearing her call, the magical girls, caught off guard by the situation, immediately spring into action. Some fly over to intercept the Big Butterfly, while others rush to Luo Shuangyue’s side.
The Soul Guide, holding a burning long sword, looks at the grim-faced Luo Shuangyue, with a glimmer of disbelief in her eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Dark Butterfly, right?”
The obvious black-purple energy swirling around Luo Shuangyue is so apparent that the Soul Guide, trained in her for so long, immediately recognizes it.
She truly hadn’t expected that the junior she had taken a liking to could not only become the next Bai Ye but could even transform into Bai Ye herself.
“Mm.”
“It feels like this is quite a complicated story… How can I help you?”
“Strike me with a sword, use the strongest Soul Fire to strike me!” Luo Shuangyue grits her teeth, desperately attempting to suppress the terrifying desires surging in her mind.
No matter what, she cannot let these desires dominate her in this situation.
The Soul Guide nods without saying anything more and brings her sword down upon Luo Shuangyue’s head.
The purple flames instantly engulf Luo Shuangyue’s entire body, causing her to show a pained expression.
The fire burns her soul but also temporarily frees her from the influence of those frenzied desires.
Two completely opposing magical forces are battling within Luo Shuangyue’s body, centered around two hairpins, and she does not wish for her butterfly hairpin to win this battle.
It is absurd; clearly, the Dark Butterfly belongs to Luo Shuangyue, yet she prefers to assist an “outsider” to deal with herself. If the Big Butterfly knew her thoughts, it would undoubtedly berate her for being treacherous.
The power of Bai Ye and the Dark Butterfly continues to clash within her, as Luo Shuangyue attempts to control Bai Ye’s power to reclaim dominance over her body, but the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable for her.
Bai Ye’s power does not belong to her; it is like water without a source or trees without roots, while the power of the Dark Butterfly is ever-flowing. In this state, she has no way of expelling the Dark Butterfly’s power from her body using Bai Ye’s power.
It is impossible to forcibly pull off the hairpin; her body can barely move, let alone remove the hairpin from her hair.
The hairpin is key; it must be taken off…
Wait! It’s not just me who can take off the hairpin!
A thunderclap sounds in Luo Shuangyue’s mind; there is someone else who can remove the hairpin on her head.
“Sister, bring Shuangxing over; let her take off this hairpin,” Luo Shuangyue tells the Soul Guide intermittently. “I can’t hold on for much longer.”
The Soul Guide asks no further questions and immediately shouts to the magical girls behind her, who are at a loss for what to do, “Quick, bring Luo Shuangxing… bring Linglan over!”
Bring Linglan over? Several magical girls are taken aback; in the time it takes for them to be stunned, some have chosen to believe.
A streak of light heads straight to the lunar base, where Luo Shuangxing is currently located.
Once the task requested by Luo Shuangyue is assigned, the Soul Guide turns back to her with worry, “You sure have many secrets; I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card.”
“Senior, please don’t tease me; I originally planned to handle that guy over there stylishly, but somehow things suddenly went wrong,” Luo Shuangyue still has the energy to speak and thinks it’s necessary to share her hidden matters with the seniors around her now.
She probably won’t have much time to talk left; if Luo Shuangxing arrives but cannot save her later, at least someone should help her leave her last words for her sister, right?
“Bai Ye is the mother of Shuangxing and me.”
“Huh?”
Even the veteran Soul Guide is startled by Luo Shuangyue’s words at this moment.
Bai Ye has daughters?
Or rather, two daughters?
That’s shocking…
“They both secretly had children without me knowing?” Monise, who had been nearby providing support, turned her head to ask, “I was wondering how you managed to find me here; turns out it was those two troublemakers’ fault?”
She had previously been curious why the Polar Night organization, which has a less-than-stellar reputation, attracted the Dark Butterfly, a magical girl with such great potential.
Now that she understands Luo Shuangyue’s background, everything makes sense.
“Because they went missing, I thought about looking for them in the places where Mom and Dad used to reside…”
“Sorry, Monise.”
“Don’t act like we’ll never see each other again; if you want to apologize, do it properly later, and tell me how those two troublemakers are doing,” Monise scoffed coldly, continuing to cast magic into the distance without looking back.
She hates this atmosphere, this feeling as if they are about to part ways.
She would rather her little aide be taken away by a magical girl as before than watch her little aide disappear before her eyes.
Meanwhile, more than ten Blooming Level Magical Girls joined forces to set up obstruction magic in an attempt to stop the Big Butterfly’s advance, but the existence of the Big Butterfly clearly exceeded their expectations.
Even the restraint web that required great effort for the Demon Lord to escape seemed nonexistent; the figure of the Big Butterfly merely became slightly blurred before passing through this large net.
The attacks released by the magical girls could not reach the Big Butterfly, as if it did not exist in this world; the butterfly’s shadow visible outside was merely an illusion.
“How is this possible…”
A silver dragon passes through the Big Butterfly’s body, but the sensation feedback is insubstantial; clearly, nothing exists where the Big Butterfly is.
“The Ocean of Magical Power isn’t showing any fluctuations; damn, what is going on!”
The Blooming Level Magical Girls are also anxious, but despite racking their brains, they can’t think of how to stop the Big Butterfly’s actions.
They cannot interfere with this butterfly; all their tactics have been used, yet this butterfly seems to exist in a space parallel to them; they can observe it but cannot influence it.
Only when the Big Butterfly reaches the dying Demon Lord do they truly see a glimpse of the iceberg of this butterfly’s existence.
Jet-black energy flows from the void, piercing into the Demon Lord’s body, assimilating its flesh and blood.
The Demon Lord wails and cries out; it senses its existence being gradually erased, destined to be completely assimilated into some horrific existence.
It wants to resist; it doesn’t want to be devoured by such a terrifying existence, even if it means self-destruction.
But when those black energies touch its body, it’s already too late; it has completely lost control over its own body.
“Immediately purify the Demon Lord’s body! We cannot let this butterfly eat it!” In a flash, Longwen roars.
If the Big Butterfly wants to consume the Demon Lord, then they must do the opposite and not let the butterfly easily devour the Demon Lord.
Since they cannot affect the Big Butterfly which is eating, they must influence what the Big Butterfly is eating.
If they overturn the table, the Big Butterfly won’t be able to eat, right?
The silver dragon, following Longwen’s commands, exhales a brilliant silver breath toward the dying Demon Lord, who has no strength to resist; part of its body is immediately drenched in silver and then dissolves into light points.
Seeing that this method works, the other magical girls immediately begin to snatch food from the mouth of the Big Butterfly.
They choose to purify the areas polluted by the Big Butterfly’s black energy, aiming to cut off the further spread of this black energy, just like firebreaks in a forest fire.
“Give me a few minutes, and I’ll directly send this guy flying!” Another dark-clad magical girl plans to completely overturn the table.
Qidian had mentioned before, as long as the Demon Lord does not resist and if she is given enough time, she can eliminate the Demon Lord in one fell swoop.
Now, the conditions she previously mentioned have been met, and she can use her Qidian to directly destroy this Demon Lord, causing it to completely disappear from this world.
What? The precious materials on the Demon Lord will also vanish along with it? Is this really the time to consider such trivial matters?
