Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 3 How could I possibly regret it?

A beautiful beam of light, like a rainbow, pierced through the monster.

The once invincible vines finally stopped expanding, shrinking back behind the building, and even tried to escape.

However, the blue rainbow light chased after it and blocked the monster's path.

Jiang Si placed her unconscious sister in a safe place, looked up at the light, and limped after it, gradually quickening her pace, and then running like crazy!

My heart is pounding wildly, far more violently and intensely than before death!
However, the light was too fast; his eyes could barely keep up with it, and even when he sped up, he still couldn't catch up at all.

All that could be seen was light dancing in the air, weaving a beautiful cage that constantly compressed the monster's range of movement.

The monster screamed, waving its massive limbs as if in a death throes, smashing against the cage woven by the magical girls around it.

However, the terrifying vines turn into liquid and flow down once they touch the cage woven from light.

It couldn't shake that cage in the slightest.

However, the immense force still shook the cage, and the building continued to collapse due to its struggle, with rubble, steel bars, and other debris falling in front of Jiang Si.

Even though her desire to get closer was incredibly strong, Jiang Si stopped when she sensed danger and grabbed onto a broken utility pole.

Blood streamed down his forehead, and his right arm throbbed with pain. In fact, his left ankle had also been injured in the rollover.

However, Jiang Si did not react at all. He just raised his head and looked at the girl floating in the air.

So beautiful...

power.

All the anguish, all the confusion, all the unease were dispelled by that intense light at this moment.

Extraordinary power.

The extraordinary power that enables one to step onto the Great Dao!
Seeing the first glimmer of light in her life left Jiang Si momentarily speechless; she simply reached out and took two steps forward in a daze.

I wanted to catch that ray of light.

However, the enormous beast soon broke free of its cage. Even though it had shrunk to one-tenth of its original size, it was still like a natural disaster when it charged at ordinary people.

Just as terrified screams erupted from the crowd, a massive magical net unfurled above them, enveloping the calamity beast and pulling it upwards.

Dozens of vines spread to the ground, tightly binding the surrounding utility poles, trees, and buildings.

Then, Jiang Si saw the magical girl take out her magic wand and uproot the monster, the tree it was entangled with, the telephone pole, and the building!
Soil, gravel, sparks from electrical wires, and the liquid from the melting of calamity beasts under the magic net mingled in the air, carrying a stench reminiscent of rotten eggs and excrement.

Even if you train hard for another hundred years, you could never have such power...

Just as he was thinking this and was about to chase after it, an ambulance arrived.

There were also some police officers from an unknown department, wearing special combat uniforms, who shoved him into a car without explanation and transported them out of the disaster area.

On the way, Jiang Si learned that her parents had been thrown out of the car during the rollover and were no longer breathing when they were found.

When they got off the bus, they discovered that the victims had been taken to a remote sanatorium in Jianghai City.

Besides the police, there were also unusual caregivers in the sanatorium, all of whom seemed to be related to magical girls. Jiang Si overheard some of their discussions.

The reason for the accident is that the city of Beihai seems to have been free of any dangerous beasts for almost a decade.

The relevant departments relaxed their vigilance, and with the frequent appearances of monsters in other regions, the magical girls of Beihai were transferred away from here, and even the agencies that monitor the appearance of monsters were almost deserted.

That's why the calamity beast has been around for so long, yet we haven't been able to suppress it quickly.

Because calamity beasts are born from human evil thoughts, just as magical girls are born from human wishes.

As long as one retains memories of magical girls, the resulting malice will nourish the monsters and even give birth to them. Therefore, ordinary people will have their memories related to magical girls erased.

Of course, this only applies to cities where there are almost no monsters. In cities where monsters frequently appear, there is no need for this.

This is why Jiang Si has hardly heard of any information related to magical girls and monsters.

Because Beihai is one of the few cities that hasn't seen any calamity beasts for over a decade.

Cities without calamity beasts can effectively prevent their creation by erasing the magical girls' memories.

But sometimes unexpected things happen.

Just like now, there are extremely rare events like the sudden appearance of monsters of unknown origin.

Even so, the Disaster Management Bureau reacted quickly enough that the vines didn't even have time to cause trouble for more than three hours before the magical girl next door arrived.

Magical Girl, the extraordinary power Jiang Si has been searching for.

This being is the counterpart to the Calamity Beast, which is the embodiment of calamity and despair, while the magical girl is the embodiment of happiness and hope.

This is the official explanation.

Possessing extraordinary power far exceeding that of humans, they are objects of respect and admiration for many.

Perhaps it could be used for cultivating immortality, Jiang thought.

This made it almost impossible for him to care about the deceased after he came to the nursing home. His parents were dead after all, and the dead cannot be brought back to life, so he could not feel much emotion.

They simply kept collecting information about magical girls.

The sanatorium where they were staying was not large, hidden deep in a quiet alley in BH City. It was originally the old residence of a minor bureaucrat, with several courtyards, white walls and black tiles, carrying a sense of antiquity.

Jiang Si used to skip class to go to training and would pass by this place before, but now it has been completely transformed.

At the sanatorium, many staff members who knew about magical girls arrived; they were clearly from outside the city.

Their attitude was actually quite kind and approachable.

BH City is a large city, and regional discrimination is very serious here. Most residents of BH City look down on people from other places.

Even if this group of people are related to magical girls and have official status, they are still outsiders. That doesn't stop some locals in BH City from thinking they are beggars.

Therefore, children like Jiang Si, who have a good attitude, are still very popular with these caregivers.

She was also very generous in sharing news related to magical girls with Jiang Si.

After all, these things aren't exactly secrets elsewhere.

"Magical girls are born in the darkest times; they are the hope that girls burst forth from despair."

The nurse who treated his sister said, "When the monster brings despair, we need to seek the world's response with the strongest desire."

"Girls who obtain magic seeds can transform into magical girls."

"It can only be a girl, without exception."

The glimmer of hope that had just appeared was ruthlessly shattered.

However, Jiang Si had long since gotten used to it, and simply continued to explore the possibility of men transforming into magical girls.

He had nowhere left to go; his body had been tempered to its limit, and taking another step forward would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The chances of reaching the Great Dao through physical training are too slim; this may be his best opportunity.

Asking every single question for a day or two can be annoying, no matter how good your attitude is.

It only recorded some basic common knowledge about magical girls.

Details such as how magical girls are created, their training methods, levels, or the source of their power were either refused to be answered or were glossed over.

On the third day, the magical girl who had defeated the monster came to offer her condolences.

The girl, wearing a fluffy blue mini-skirt and adorned with gorgeous ornaments, also brought some snacks and toys.

Surrounded by children and adults in the courtyard of the sanatorium, I felt like a big star.

In this world, it seems that magical girls are idols.

The magical girl comforted the adults and coaxed the children who were about her age. Contrary to her childish appearance, she exuded a mature aura in every gesture and quickly became friends with all the children in the sanatorium.

The magical girl skillfully changed her position, always switching the children and adults around her to ensure that everyone was taken care of and no one was neglected.

Jiang Si and her younger sister were naturally among them. When the magical girl changed positions for the fourth time, the two of them stood next to her.

Only upon closer inspection do you realize that this magical girl is even more radiant than she appears from a distance, as if bathed in special effects lighting, and she exudes a reassuring, light floral fragrance. She speaks slowly and gently, patiently answering the questions of the children around her.

Jiang Si was wondering if she would have a chance to strike up a conversation with the other person, but her younger sister spoke first.

"Sister, if we could have come earlier, Mom and Dad..."

The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

Jiang Si pulled her younger sister back, "I'm sorry, she was just too sad, she didn't mean to blame you. She's just a kid and she was joking."

He patted his sister's head, and she sniffed, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry."

Although this little girl is young, she is actually very sensible. That sentence was just a slip of the tongue because she couldn't control her emotions.

Fortunately, the magical girl wasn't angry. She simply bent down, hugged Jiang Si's sister, and stroked her head.

"I should be the one saying sorry. If I had arrived earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Woo..."

So the younger sister hugged the magical girl and burst into tears, and the magical girl actually started crying along with her.

Jiang Si was completely stunned. Don't magical girls cultivate their Dao heart...?

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

The magical girl cried along with the little girl, leaving the staff around them at a loss, and they could only watch helplessly.

The crying finally ended when my younger sister cried herself to sleep.

As he picked up his sister and left, the magical girl wiped away her tears and looked around in confusion.

She smelled the aura of the calamity beast.

However, after glancing at the wand and seeing that it didn't issue a warning, he wiped away his tears and continued to comfort the other fans without thinking too much about it.

Jiang Si originally planned to send her younger sister to bed to rest before returning to ask the magical girl herself some questions.

When they returned, the magical girl had vanished without a trace.

Two days later, the magical girl never came again.

Everyone else in the sanatorium also avoided Jiang Si, finding him too troublesome and not wanting to talk to him.

After their injuries had mostly healed, the sanatorium staff sent them home.

It was only at this point that Jiang Si realized why the people in the sanatorium were so unguarded with him, readily sharing their knowledge of magical girls.

Because everyone who leaves has their memories erased.

As for how she eliminated it, Jiang Si didn't remember. By the time she came to her senses, she was already home.

The coffins of her parents were placed in the hall, and the house was crowded with relatives, chattering away... Jiang Si had no mood to listen.

The funeral process was tedious and troublesome, with people being pulled and dragged around, but as soon as it was over, Jiang Si would immediately disappear.

Naturally, he couldn't cry, and he had no attachment to his parents whatsoever. If they dragged him into a discussion for too long, his impatience was almost undisguised.

Gradually, many rumors began to circulate among the relatives, and their attitudes affected the younger sister.

The day before the burial, his sister begged him to go with her to the funeral for their parents.

But Jiang Si ignored it.

Later, when the body was taken to the cemetery, the younger sister lay on the coffin and cried before being buried.

Jiang Si did not attend the funeral, nor did she even see her parents one last time.

It was raining that day, and he only glanced at it from afar.

The pattering rain soaked the tombstones, and the muffled cries of the crowd were drowned out by the rain, leaving only a suffocating oppression, as if each handful of damp earth buried all the laughter and beauty in this world.

Gradually, only deathly silence remained.

He couldn't help but think of the past. The first time his mother got angry in his previous life was also on a rainy day, when she threw a novel at his face.

Wake up!

His father tore up his book and stuffed the scraps of paper into the stove.

Let him study hard.

The parents went from anger to disappointment, and finally to indifference.

He can't blame his parents for not understanding, because he knows it himself.

When he decided to embark on this path, he was destined to be misunderstood.

Just try to meet their demands and then move on.

He searched through all the ancient books and asked all the mystical people, religious, martial arts, qigong, and magic practitioners.

Each disappointment builds up into a larger, more resounding wave.

Wake up!

Jiang Si rolled up her sleeves.

The bloodstains on his arm were washed away by the rain.

Even though his memory had been erased, the words he painstakingly carved out with his fingernails were blurry, but enough for him to understand.

I want to become a magical girl.

The extraordinary power of this world: magical girls.

If he can obtain this power, he can embark on the true path of cultivation.

However, only girls can become magical girls.

Desperate situation?

"I have experienced far too many desperate situations in my life."

He walked forward, the coffin behind him already completely buried in the earth, his sister's sharp and mournful cries tearing through the rain.

Jiang Si stretched out her hand and looked up at the sky.

The icy rain soaked through my heart and soul.

"Haven't you heard that there is always a way out?"

A portion of the calamity beast's root that he had stuffed inside his body was pulled out, nourished by immense negative emotions, swelling and growing.

Despair emanating from the calamity beast permeated the air.

And also, an intense desire to devour everything in this world!

"As long as I want to go, the road is right under my feet!"

"I want to become a magical girl!"

The clenched hands looked as if they were trying to grasp something, or as if they had already grasped something.

Sparkling starlight spilled from between their fingers, eventually converging into a dazzling rainbow!

A long Lolita-style dress in purple and gold, adorned with lace, ribbons, and bows, and elegant boots gently tread on the muddy ground.

Her long purple hair danced in the rain.

Like a blooming flower.

Her delicate face was reflected in the rain.

She instantly seized the swollen and twisted roots, and the purple magic, like flames, burned them away in the rain!
"From this day forward, I shall rule alone for all eternity!"
