90: Chapter 90 He... his account was deleted!

Chu Yin fell silent for a moment.

Then, she used every last bit of her strength.

"Your hand slipped and added an extra zero!! I almost got blown to ashes by my own mana backlash!! Do you know what that felt like?! Like counter-sniping the sun!! I won the duel!! And then got stepped on by the sun!!"

Su Bai whipped out a small notebook and recorded seriously.

"Combat feedback: excessive recoil, unable to move independently after mana is depleted, user suggests adding an automatic recovery function—noted, noted."

"Could you drag me back first before taking your stupid notes—!!!"

After a dead silence that lasted for a full ten seconds, the bullet comments exploded.

They went wild.

[Holy crap]

[Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap]

[Star-Destroying Cannon]

[A Rank 1 card Star-Destroying Cannon]

[Three Rank 9s, all insta-killed in one shot]

[No, not insta-killed, deleted]

[Even his phylactery shattered!!! Demon Lord Xuangu had a phylactery!!! His phylactery wasn't even in this dimension!!! And it was still blasted to pieces by one shot!!!]

[What kind of law is this??? What kind of law can strike a phylactery across dimensions???]

[The Pink Law]

[Lmao]

[The Pink Law. Checks out.]

[Did you guys notice the BGM?]

[["Magic♪ Magic♪ Miracles and Magic♪"] has already been downloaded three million times!]

[Five million!]

[Who recorded the full incantation?]

[I did, set it as my alarm.]

[Already made into a meme pack. Nine in total, all high-def GIFs.]

[To the one who set it as an alarm, how are you going to face your roommates tomorrow?]

[My roommates are already listening to it with me.]

[Pass it on: Demon Lord Xuangu died of embarrassment.]

[Pass it on: The Abyss isn't afraid of the Star-Destroying Cannon, it's afraid of the girl idol BGM.]

[Pass it on: Tomorrow, the entire Abyss will be renamed the Magical Girl Autonomous Region.]

The class group chat of Jinghai Card Creator Academy.

Zhao Dahai sent the first message.

[Zhao Dahai]: [My bro's client just destroyed a star with one shot.]

[Zhao Dahai]: [With a Rank 1 card.]

[Zhao Dahai]: [I'm not really sure what I should say right now.]

[Wang Shaotian]: [.]

[Jiang Feng]: [.]

[Li Haoran]: [. Have you finished writing your self-reflection? I haven't. I'm going back to writing it.]

In the Truth Sanctuary channel, the elders spammed thousands of messages. The core topic was just one sentence:

A Rank 2 Card Creator. A Rank 1 card. Destroying a star in one shot. Vaporizing three Rank 9s. Is this even logical?

Conclusion: It's illogical. But the word "logical" has never existed in the dictionary of Li Qingyue's disciple.

—

A spatial rift tore open in the sky. Li Qingyue and Deputy Commander Xiao Hongyan stepped out at the same time.

The two 9th-tier Supremes landed on the ruins of the plaza.

Chu Yin sprawled on the ground. Su Bai squatted beside her, taking notes. Armored Mage Emperor Lu Chen had just crawled out of the distant warehouse ruins, covered in blood but looking extremely excited—because his disciple had just destroyed a star with one shot. Zhao Dahai and Lin Xiao ran out of the utility room, their chubby faces flushed as they laughed with teary eyes.

Deputy Commander Xiao Hongyan looked down at the red magic staff that had rolled to her feet, then looked up at the residual glow of the pink sun in the sky.

Then, she turned to Su Bai.

"Kid."

Su Bai looked up.

"That hundred-fold one—"

Deputy Commander Xiao Hongyan's voice carried an emotion she hadn't shown in her thirty years as a war machine—the kind of emotion that only surfaced when she felt, for the first time, that *maybe we can actually win*.

"—make ten thousand of them for me."

Su Bai blinked.

"You'll have to queue. Sister Xiao, the Rank 9 order you placed earlier hasn't even been delivered yet."

Sprawled in the rubble, Chu Yin let out a weak wail.

"Can you guys please help me up first before talking business—"

Nobody paid attention to her.

The bullet comments went wild with laughter.

[The Value of a Magical Girl.jpg]

[Star-Destroying Cannon: Five stars. After-sales service: One star.]

[Vaporized three Rank 9s in one shot, only to be forgotten on the ground.]

[Straight-Male Card Creator and His Supreme Clients.jpg]

[Chu Yin: I want to file a complaint with the Consumer Association]

[Consumer Association: We can't beat him either]

[Hahahahahahaha]

Chu Yin closed her eyes. Forget it. She had already lost face across the entire universe. It didn't matter if she lost a bit more.

Then, a hand grabbed her back collar and yanked her upward.

*Plop.*

Her face was pulled out of the rubble, making a dull popping sound like a radish being yanked from the ground.

Su Bai grabbed her back collar and walked across the rubble, dragging her along like a sack of potatoes.

"If you ever dare to add an extra zero to the parameters again—"

Chu Yin's voice drifted up from her dragged position.

"I'll use the remaining three cards to blow myself up and take you down with me—"

"Noted, noted. But then again, a hundred-fold is much better than ten-fold, right?"

"Better my foot!! I almost died!!"

"But you didn't."

"That's because I'm tough!!"

"Being tough is also a part of your strength."

"Screw you, Su Bai—"

Su Bai dragged her past Armored Mage Emperor Lu Chen. The Heavy Armored Dharma Emperor was covered in blood, yet he stood straight as a ramrod. He looked at the dragged Chu Yin, then at Su Bai, and spoke.

"Kid."

Su Bai stopped.

"That cat." Armored Mage Emperor Lu Chen paused. "Get one for this old man as well."

Chu Yin let out a weak chuckle from the rubble.

"Grandpa Lu, you too—"

"Shut up. You're still being dragged."

The bullet comments exploded in another round.

[Even the Heavy Armored Dharma Emperor is going to crossdress.]

[A Rank 9 Dharma Emperor!! The price for one shot!! Crossdressing!!]

[Pass it on: Both of the Sanctuary's top combat forces have fallen.]

[Pass it on: The Sword Saint and the Dharma Emperor have agreed to wear skirts together.]

[Pass it on: Tomorrow, the Truth Sanctuary will be renamed the Pink Sanctuary.]

Deputy Commander Xiao Hongyan watched Su Bai dragging Chu Yin's retreating figure and suddenly spoke.

"Hey, kid named Su."

"Hmm?"

"Your master has prepared a safe for you in the Sanctuary's archive room. Red label. Highest security level."

Su Bai was taken aback.

"What's it for?"

"To store your manuscripts." Deputy Commander Xiao Hongyan's voice was flat. "Lest you add another zero to the parameters one day and blow away half the continent without anyone knowing it was you."

Li Qingyue stood nearby without saying a word, but the slight, one-sided curl of her lips spoke volumes.

As she was dragged to the edge of the plaza, Chu Yin suddenly thought of another question.

"Su Bai."

"Hmm?"

"The incantation... the livestream... how many people saw it?"

Su Bai glanced at his phone.

"Real-time concurrent viewers. About four billion."

Chu Yin fell silent for three seconds.

Then, she buried her face in her hands and let out an incredibly long, soul-piercing shriek.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH—!!!"

The shriek echoed over the ruins.

The shards of Zhao Dahai's milk tea cup rattled from the sound waves. Lin Xiao burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. Armored Mage Emperor Lu Chen laughed heartily, his booming laughter reopening several wounds on his body.

[Iconic scene]

[Setting as alarm +2]

[This is the price of being a Magical Girl.]

[It's not death, it's social death.]

[Social death is scarier than actual death.jpg]

[Welcome to the Magical Girl family, today is another day filled with shame.jpg]

[Don't worry, Chu Yin, four billion people are socially dying with you.]

[Now it's even more socially embarrassing.]

In the night sky, a faint toll of a bell echoed from the direction of the Truth Sanctuary.

It seemed to pay tribute to the newly born Star-Destroying Legend—whether in blessing or in mourning, no one knew.

At the edge of the plaza, as she was dragged through the rubble by Su Bai, Chu Yin suddenly spoke again.

"Su Bai."

"Hmm?"

"Should I even go out tomorrow?"

"Even if you don't go out, you still have to recite the incantation."

"...Why?"

"Because the class change quest still requires nine Magical Girls of different classes."

"."

"Keep it up. You're Number One."

"Go to hell, Su Bai—!!!"

Bullet comments:

[Looking forward to Number Two.]

[Looking forward to Number Three.]

[Looking forward to the day when all four billion people become Magical Girls.]

[On that day, the Abyss will truly become a Pink Autonomous Region.]

[Lmao]
