40: Chapter 40 Battle Form: The Out-of-Control Magical Girl!

Inside the miniature world—

Zhao Dahai's mace clattered to the ground.

"Rank 8 auxiliary card, independent casting, soul gem, severing all things..."

He spat out the words one by one, like he was reciting an obituary.

"Su Bai, what on earth is happening!? Not only did your cat turn into a card, but it also turned Her Excellency Qingyue's avatar directly into an auxiliary card? What is going on!? And, and that auxiliary card bypassed the world's iron laws of combat! Does she not even need cards to fight!?"

Zhao Dahai was completely shocked.

Before this, he had never imagined that a card could have such a situation.

A Rank 1 card actually turned a Rank 8 card into a subordinate card in reverse?

"...It's just transformed into a Magical Girl, it hasn't left the card system. Strictly speaking, the current Rank 8 card is in a form empowered by the Magical Girl, and the Magical Girl herself is also a card." Su Bai explained casually, though his eyes were fixed tightly on the Magical Girl avatar.

It was his first time seeing such a situation. Kyubey turned a Rank 8 card into a subordinate card—did that mean this Magical Girl was also under Kyubey's control?

Unfortunately, Kyubey didn't have the ability to control the Magical Girl, so he couldn't continue testing.

Zhao Dahai felt his head buzzing.

Lin Xiao wasn't crouching; she was staring dead at the card description: "The point is, a Rank 1 card affected a Rank 8 card! This directly violates the core mechanism of card battles!"

"...What's so violating about it? She turned into a Magical Girl. I, Kyubey, am capable of turning people into Magical Girls."

"It's not like that!"

Lin Xiao said, frantic: "High-rank cards have a natural suppression over low-rank cards; otherwise, what is the point of having ranks? Your cat... being able to turn a Rank 8 avatar card into a subordinate card, do you know how bizarre this is!?"

"Uh, I don't think it's bizarre." Su Bai corrected, "She already made a wish to become a Magical Girl."

Lin Xiao's ice bow let out a faint sound in her hand as she squeezed it.

That was the leakage of ice magic power.

Teacher's Area.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Zhou Mu was also stunned by the card effects.

"soul gem, infinite physical regeneration, feeling neither pain nor fatigue during combat... This is an auxiliary effect brought by a Rank 1 card?"

With every word he spoke, his colleague's face turned a shade paler.

"What level of card is this? Could it really be SSS?"

Deputy Commander Zhou Mu felt the world spinning.

The legendary SSS-rank card, also known as a Rainbow Card, a Rainbow Card that could only be born from the core of the system, actually appeared within a Rank 1 card?

Are you kidding me!

But from the perspective of a teacher like him, wasn't the Magical Girl series in front of him one of the abilities displayed by a core card?

Did Su Bai create a new card deck!?

Li Haoran stood where he was.

His dust-proof cloak remained motionless in the aftermath of the spatial tremors. His expression was also very calm.

But the lackey beside him didn't dare to look at his face.

Because the hand gripping the card box—the hand that had just crushed the mithril trim—had knuckles turned white to the point of turning blue.

"...Auxiliary card, Rank 8, Rainbow Card level judgment."

He only said three phrases.

There was at least a three-second gap between each phrase.

At the same time, Lin Weiwei also muttered: "The functions Su Bai mentioned were all realized... He really knew what the effects of this card were, and he wasn't just bragging before..."

Actually, when informing Li Qingyue that Su Bai was making an original card, Lin Weiwei was also very uneasy. After all, such a thing was too inconceivable; if she lost the bet, she would definitely not escape punishment.

But thinking of Su Bai's confident appearance, she decided to help him.

However, at that time, Lin Weiwei thought only the Spatial Circuit could let her take a gamble; as for Kyubey...

To be honest, with two million in materials poured in, she couldn't tell at all what those things could do.

But somehow...

Everything Su Bai said was realized!

Lin Weiwei could be certain that Su Bai had completely explained the concept to her before he started making the card.

This meant that Su Bai knew the entire card-making process!

The value of this was terrifying. A complete card-making process, and one for a suspected Rainbow Card, was enough to make a top expert directly advance!

It was just that this card's rank wasn't high enough, otherwise, even Li Qingyue would probably be shocked.

Things like this were too rare!

The family representatives nearby were no longer handing out business cards.

They were scanning QR codes to add friends.

In the midst of the same silence and fanaticism—

The first to notice the change was Li Qingyue.

The second was Vice President Wu Molin.

The third—was Su Bai.

Because that puppet wearing a Gothic Lolita dress—

Those eyes, originally empty, vacant, like two glass beads—

Suddenly jolted.

Deep within the pupils, a silver-white flame was suddenly ignited.

It wasn't the light of being controlled. It wasn't the mechanical reaction of a puppet core. It was the—

Self—

Belonging to an independent soul, carrying ambition, carrying madness.

"I—"

The puppet spoke.

This time, her voice was no longer the mechanical repetition of Li Qingyue's tone.

Instead, it was another person's voice. Hoarse. Low. Trembling with the feeling of breathing fresh air for the first time after being imprisoned for who knows how many years.

"—have awakened."

She raised her hands.

Looking down at her palms covered by white silk gloves.

Then she let out a soft laugh.

"Hahaha—"

"Hahaha—hahahahaha hahahahaha!!!"

The laughter turned from a soft chuckle into wild laughter. From wild laughter into madness. The puppet wearing the Lolita Magical Girl dress lifted her face, the silver-white soul fire in her eyes burning intensely, the curve of her lips twisted into a shape that made one's spine chill.

Rank 8 Forbidden Card.

Blood Abyss Prisoner.

That evil soul, whose self-awareness had been erased, who had been refined into a puppet, and who had been imprisoned in a card for who knows how many years—

Had been resurrected.

Vice President Wu Molin's voice cracked: "The wish really came true!? Self-awareness!! It really gave her self-awareness!!"

Livestream comments:

[It's alive!! That puppet is alive!!]

[It's not Her Excellency Qingyue controlling it anymore!! It's moving on its own!!]

[She's laughing!! Laughing so terrifyingly!! But she's wearing a Lolita outfit!!]

[I don't know if I should be scared or if I should make a snarky comment right now!!]

[Scared!! Of course, be scared!! That's a peak Rank 8 soul!!]

And more people's reactions were—

[What the hell kind of cat is this!? You make a wish and it happens!? You say you'll give self-awareness and you do it!?]

[No—is this card really real!? This isn't a joke!?]

[A Rank 1 card!! Let a soul that was erased by a 9th-tier Supreme—come back to life!!]

But before the comments could recover—

That evil soul wearing the Lolita Magical Girl dress made her first independent decision after waking up.

She jerked her head up.

Those eyes, burning with silver-white flames, locked directly onto Li Qingyue in mid-air.

"Li Qingyue—!"

Her voice was mixed with bone-deep hatred and the ecstasy of being reborn, "You imprisoned me for fourteen years!! You erased my consciousness!! You used me as your tool—"

She raised her right hand.

Five fingers reached into the void.

"Now—I am free!!"

A gorgeous, giant magic scissor, taller than herself, was pulled directly out from the void by her.

No card, no sealing card, no medium of any kind.

It just appeared out of thin air in her hands.

Deep purple stardust double blades, a handle entwined with a silver-white star dragon, the blade surface flowing with cold, biting light.

The Magical Girl in front of them had directly deployed her combat form!

"I am going to kill you!"
