Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 68: Let Me Go In

"Owner……"

"But you're truly amazing! You came from the universe, tempered by the ocean, the sun, the moon, and the stars, and washed by the earth's spiritual veins. So, even though you're just a ruby, you possess the power of the stars, the ocean, and the shining stone."

Ruby rubbed her head sheepishly. "That's probably it. The Great Will also said so. I don't quite understand it. Anyway, it makes me sound so powerful."

In fact, the so-called fighting method of using magic through imagination is just the power of the Magical Girls of the Stars. Because Meiko Anten does not have the Star Tarot, she needs to release the magic in the Star Tarot through imagination.

It is equivalent to her being a completely blank Star Tarot card, and the so-called imagination is no different from forcibly printing a card.

"I understand the logic, but my body seems to be ruined now. You didn't confess because you knew I was going to die here, did you?"

"Of course not, Master. Under normal circumstances, you would have died, but this dragon vein is filled with primordial ether, which blocks any contact with the outside world and preserves your soul and consciousness."

An Teng Meizi shrugged and said, "But what good is it if I'm just a soul now?"

"You are wrong, Meizi. It is precisely because you are a soul that you are useful." Vita, who was standing by, interrupted them after seeing that they had finished talking about their matters.

"What do you mean?"

"Because this way, you can use the primordial ether here to rebuild a new body."

"What...huh? Do you know what you're talking about?"

When it comes to creating a human, Anten Meiko understands it perfectly, but when it comes to rebuilding a body, she has no idea what to do.

"The reason I have infinite life is not only because of the strength of my soul, but also because I have a body that can regenerate no matter how many times it is destroyed. Do you know why?"

An Teng Meizi frowned and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands in sudden realization: "Could it be because of the Sky Flame Dragon Ball?"

"That's right. The Sky Flame Dragon Ball, as my core, has the ability to repair my body. Now that it has recognized you as its master, it will naturally retain your physical information."

"Then what should I do?"

"Use it to absorb the surrounding primordial ether, then use your consciousness to drive its self-repair ability, and then use your soul as an anchor to repair the physical body."

An Teng Meizi nodded seriously, and then her consciousness returned to her floating soul body, and then slowly approached the place where the Sky Flame Dragon Ball was.

Perhaps sensing Anten Meiko's consciousness, a warm and friendly feeling came from the Sky Flame Dragon Ball.

"Sorry, let me go in and take a look."

She transmitted a wave of energy, and then her consciousness entered the Sky Flame Dragon Ball unhindered. In her perception, there were two completely different marks on the Sky Flame Dragon Ball.

One of them is the appearance of An Teng Meizi, and the other is the body of the Sky Flame Dragon. However, compared to the clearly visible human appearance, the dragon body is much blurrier and more transparent. It seems that after some time, this dragon-shaped mark will completely disappear.

"It seems that as long as I trigger the mark on it, the Sky Flame Dragon Ball will begin to repair my body. However, before that, it must first absorb the primordial ether outside."

Thinking of this, An Teng Meizi immediately drove the Sky Flame Dragon Ball out of her soul body and slowly floated in the dragon vein river.

Suction began to erupt from the Sky Flame Dragon Ball, and all the free magic power was absorbed into the dragon ball. The dragon ball, which originally appeared transparent, was slowly filled with white.

Originally, she was worried about whether these primordial ethers that would repel magic could be absorbed, but now it seems that her worries were a bit unnecessary.

No matter how much the primordial ether repels magic, it itself is just a higher level of magic compressed from magic over countless years. Since it is also magic, there is no reason why it cannot be absorbed.

After only ten seconds, the Sky Flame Dragon Ball was completely saturated to the point that it could no longer absorb any more, and this speed of saturation surprised Anten Meiko.

According to the normal properties of magic, even if the amount of magic around is so huge, it will take at least several minutes to completely fill the Sky Flame Dragon Ball.

"As expected of the primordial ether, the amount of compressed magic power it contains is simply astonishing." Yazi Anten exclaimed in admiration without hesitation.

Let the Sky Flame Dragon Ball return to the soul body, and then start to drive it to use the primordial ether it has just absorbed to continuously repair its body.

Meiko Anten did not see that after she triggered the repair action, the blurry dragon-shaped mark that was about to disappear began to approach the human figure, and finally turned into a ball of light and merged with the human-shaped mark to form a new human-shaped mark.

The primordial ether in the dragon ball poured into the mark, transforming into special golden light spots that spread outward with Anten Meiko's soul body as the center. These free light spots gathered and arranged in an orderly manner, actually forming a human body.

Watching the formation of this human body's outer frame consume all the original ether that the Sky Flame Dragon Ball had just absorbed, An Teng Meizi could only helplessly control the dragon ball to leave the soul body again to absorb the distant ether outside.

Although it is installed quickly, it is also used quickly, and each repair can only repair a very small area. According to the percentage progress, a repair is less than 0.001%.

"This is really a hopeless assembly line."

However, since her body already had a way to recover, she naturally had no complaints. No matter how boring the process was, she still mechanically repeated the two cycles of absorption and repair.

As the transparent human body frame appeared, the bones within the frame slowly took shape under the gathering of the golden light. When all the bones appeared, the gold dissipated and a complete skeleton appeared within the frame.

As she followed the dragon vein, she had no concept of time. She had forgotten how long it took to repair her bones, and she had no intention of recording it.

The mechanical repetition is like water dripping through stone. This accumulation obviously has results. When the skeleton of the body has been repaired, it begins to lay nerves one after another in the golden frame.

This may seem very scary to outsiders, but in Anten Meiko's eyes, her heart is filled with excitement.

Because this means that her body is being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 69: Turbulence in the Real World

In a world without the concept of time, Anten Meiko didn't know how long she had been floating along the dragon vein. The recovery of her body began to slow down after reaching a certain peak.

Meiko Anten was helpless about this and could only wait slowly like someone who was updating the game despite the slow internet speed. After all, the repair progress was not stagnant or regressing, it was just a little slow.

This process was extremely dull and boring. Because she was concentrating on the repair work, she couldn't spare the time to chat with the two idle people in her consciousness space.

Of course, the so-called idle person was actually only Vita, and Ruby also had her own things to do.

After confessing to Meiko Anten, Ruby became much more cheerful, as if she had untied the knot in her heart.

Her body was also damaged because she bore too much force when the black energy controlled Anten Meiko's body, so she also wanted to use the primordial ether here to repair herself.

After half-forcing her to sign the contract, Ruby has always felt guilty because Ayaka had told her before her death that she didn't want to be a magical girl in her next life and didn't want to experience this endless fighting again.

So Ruby was very scared, afraid that after Anten Meiko knew her purpose, she would alienate herself or even abandon her. It was this kind of anxiety that made Ruby unable to fight with Anten Meiko in a truly tacit understanding.

So even though Meiko Anten already has the ability to use magic that breaks through the upper limit, it seems that there is always a barrier that cannot be broken.

Fortunately, the barriers in the two people's hearts have been completely broken. They feel that the distance between them has been shortened, and they suddenly have a feeling of being in tune with each other.

Seeing that the distance between them had been resolved, Vita felt somewhat relieved.

She and Meiko Anten have a blood bond, so Ruby's knot will be untied and Meiko Anten's strength will become stronger in the future, which is what she is most happy to see.

Otherwise, she would have to stay in Anten Meiko's consciousness space and couldn't go out. It would be too boring if she couldn't even have fun.

Meiko Anten and Ruby did not calculate the time, but Vita roughly recorded it in his mind. This time they drifted in the dragon vein for more than eight months, which is more than half a year.

During the time that An Teng Meizi was away, everything above had become a mess.

After the dragon vein pulse burst ended, Tornado once again entered Mount Fuji to look for the trace of Anten Meiko, but she only saw the bloodstains on the edge of the stone platform and guessed that Anten Meiko seemed to have left the stone platform and jumped down.

When she brought this news to the people waiting upstairs, their expressions undoubtedly revealed a hint of despair. If it weren't for the mark of consciousness on the reverse scale still flashing a faint light, they would probably collapse on the spot.

And after they learned the news, they immediately transferred their hatred to Celian. If it weren't for these witches, how could Anten Meiko be in such a desperate situation?

Surrounded by them, Celian, with a gloomy expression, was taken back to the headquarters of Aegis as a prisoner without any explanation or resistance.

After the students returned from their two-month vacation, the reconstruction of the destroyed campus had been successfully completed, and all the facilities remained in their original state, as if the destruction that day had never happened.

However, this semester the principal was replaced by a younger guy, which caused an uproar in the college.

During the opening ceremony, there was a vacant seat in Class 1. That was the seat that Koichi Anten, now Meiko Anten, once sat.

Chihayaji, who is also a magical girl, is also a member of the SHIELD. After she learned about Meiko Andeng, she did not care too much.

On the contrary, the expressions of Rei, Katharina, and Ayaya were always unhappy, and even the atmosphere around them was in a depressed state, making others dare not approach easily.

During this period, Meiko Atō's parents, Takahiro Atō and Chiyuri Atō, also contacted Fuko through Mami Sakura during the time when their son was completely out of contact.

Although Fuzi was tight-lipped and unwilling to reveal anything, how could she possibly be a match for a member of society when it came to scheming? Therefore, the more she acted like this, the more it proved that she knew Ando Koichi's whereabouts.

And from her appearance, Chiyuri and Takahiro also realized that their son seemed to be involved in a huge dispute, so he had been hiding and dared not come out to see them.

"Xiao Fu, do you know the whereabouts of Ando Koichi?"

Upon hearing this name, Fuzi, who had already heard from Ruoxue that Anten Meiko had disappeared, suddenly turned pale.

"I know you've liked him for a long time, and I know you want to hide something for him, but now his parents are searching everywhere for him. If he really has something he can't handle, please tell us."

"Mom, stop talking. Haoyi is really... fine... okay. Don't worry. It's just his news that I can't reveal to you. Please don't ask."

The news about Meiko Anten and the pressure of having to hide it from those around her had already made Fuzi a little haggard, so her tone seemed much weaker and more powerless.

Zhenmei knew that although her daughter sometimes looked silly and easy to be bullied, she was actually extremely stubborn, strong and unyielding.

Looking at her daughter who spoke to her in a pleading tone for the first time, Zhenmei felt a mixture of emotions and ultimately couldn't bear to continue questioning her.

"Okay, then... just take a good rest here first."

Mami walked out of the room and closed the door for her daughter. She could tell from her daughter's expression that Koichi Anten must have been involved in some incident, but since her daughter didn't say anything, they naturally didn't know.

Just as she was thinking about making some delicious midnight snacks to soothe her daughter's emotions, her cell phone rang.

She answered the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end: "Zhenmei, did Fuzi tell you the news about Haoyi?"

"My daughter didn't say anything..." Zhenmei answered truthfully.

The person on the other end of the phone was Ando Koichi's mother, Ando Chiyuri.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Wait a minute." Just as Qian Baihe was about to hang up the phone, Zhenmei stopped her.

"what happened?"

"perhaps……"

She recalled the girl named An Teng who came to her house a few months ago, gritted her teeth and finally said it out.

"Perhaps you can start with someone named Ando Meiko. The last time she came to my house, she claimed to be Ando Koichi's sister, and it seemed that she and Fuko had a good relationship."

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 70: What’s with the horns and tail?

One year later

In a deep mountain forest in the void world, a strange "sizzling" sound suddenly spread in the space that was originally as silent as death.

The sound grew louder and louder, until it seemed as if something was trying to break through the shackles of the land, and the entire land and mountains were shaking like an earthquake.

Finally, at the top of a raised mountain, a dark red beam of light broke through the earth and shot up into the sky. The top of the light beam directly extended to a height of tens of thousands of meters, dyeing everything around it red like a dazzling sun.

Immediately afterwards, a figure accompanied by a huge drill flew into the air at an extremely fast speed. The black wings behind it spread out, and the petite body was fixed in the air like a video with the pause button pressed.

This black figure is Meiko Anten, who has disappeared from the real world and drifted in the dragon vein for a whole year after her body was destroyed.

But unlike usual, she was in a new form now, and it was the same as the last time she was controlled by the black energy.

This new form was named by Meiko Anten, Magic Suit - Eclipse.

The Holy Suit - Star Brilliance form provides magic control and magic operation speed, while the Spirit Suit - Star Flash provides a special ability of dual acceleration of body and consciousness.

The magic suit - Eclipse is different. The first thing that the Eclipse form specializes in is strength and its own magical enhancement, but the more important characteristic is not strength, but a special ethereal state.

After entering this ethereal state, Meiko Anten will become selfless. She will passively control the details of magic power, save and improve the efficiency of magic power, and increase the power of all magic on this basis.

The only price she paid was that she would also lose consciousness and reason, letting her body do whatever it wanted, ignoring any harm she might cause to those around her.

It would be fine if it was used when one's life was threatened or one was on the verge of death, but if it was used at any other time, this state would even cause Meiko Anten to bombard indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Therefore, this ethereal state was named by Meiko Anten the dangerous switch of eclipse form.

Of course, if the second form, that is, the danger switch, is not activated, the magic enhancement provided by the eclipse form alone does give Anten Meiko considerable benefits.

However, it is worth mentioning that the body transformed by the primordial ether is not as strong as Anten Meiko and Vita imagined. It is even weaker than the body transformed by the Sky Flame Dragon Ball for the first time.

But this repaired body is not without any use. It has a unique advantage, which is the increase in magic capacity.

The first magic space and the second magic space disappeared together when her body was shattered, but this does not mean that An Teng Meizi has nothing to carry the magic power in her body.

Because every cell of hers has now developed the ability to carry magic power after being tempered by the primordial ether, which is equivalent to her entire body having turned into a magical space.

Without the addition of strengthening magic, her strength is indeed a little weaker than her previous body, but her body's defense and magic carrying capacity are several levels higher.

To be frank, even if An Teng Meizi stood still and allowed the first evolved Void Lizard to launch its domain and strongest breath attack in front of her, she would be a little embarrassed, but at least she would not be instantly annihilated by such an attack.

The improvement of physical defense is equivalent to the improvement of combat tolerance. In this case, as long as An Teng Meizi does not play tricks, she can easily defeat the dragon-level that has evolved once, slightly defeat the dragon-level that has evolved twice, and escape unscathed from the battle with the dragon-level that has evolved three times.

Improving combat power is secondary. Being able to hold onto her own name in battle is the most crucial thing for Meiko Anten.

"If you were to be besieged by the God's Staff cadres again, as long as that person playing with the water doesn't take action, Skywalker and Celian alone wouldn't be able to stop you unless they used their full strength."
