Chapter 205 Scars in the Sky
"Senior! Should we interrupt this?"
Upon hearing Red Rose utter the casting lines for the Mind World, Su Tianqing immediately controlled the Taurus Witch to question Mercury.
Releasing one's mental imagery is extremely difficult, but the resulting effects are certainly commensurate with its immense difficulty.
If Red Rose so desires, she can pre-arrange all the magic or rules targeting her in her mental world, requiring a large amount of magic power to counteract them and weaken the power of her mental world.
No need, just let her unfold it.
"Mercury said in a deep voice over the magical communication, his gaze toward the red rose filled with solemnity."
Su Tianqing silently watched the astral magic power gradually expand on the red rose, and silently had her familiar take out the Heart Moon Wand, hide behind Nan Jiayu, and throw the Guardian Star into the magic space.
I need to be fully prepared. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
The mental world is unlike any other astral magic. No one knows what rules the Red Rose has defined within it; only by entering it personally can one find out.
But if I were to go in myself...
The golden fox looked at the catgirl who was shielding him from behind, and felt a flutter in his heart.
The fact that the main body enters it means that she will temporarily disappear from Xiaoyu's side, and she will definitely have doubts about her disappearance.
...However, it's time to be honest with Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu is the person I trust the most, and I also have a special attachment to her.
Su Tianqing was unwilling to hide too many secrets from someone she spent every day with.
Not to mention that Xiaoyu confessed to him that she was Hellcat, so he had to be even more honest with her.
But let's leave those things for later. The focus now is to enter the mental world that Red Rose has unfolded and uncover the secrets that this senior has kept hidden for many years!
The world of mental images unfolds.
The magic enveloped the entire Suicheng Stadium, then vanished in an instant. There was no trace of the witch and the red rose in the sky, as if the attack on her had never happened.
Nan Jiayu instinctively wanted to transform into a Hellcat and lead the golden fox behind her away from the scene, but as soon as she turned around, the empty scene behind her startled her.
"...The weather is clear?"
"The catgirl murmured."
But the golden figure seemed to have vanished from his side, leaving no trace, only an exquisite handbag with a fox radish ornament hanging on it.
……
Su Tianqing opened her eyes.
With the Heartmoon Wand in hand, he stood on the ground in the form of the Heartmoon Fox.
The surrounding area still resembles the Suicheng Gymnasium, but it is more dilapidated and desolate than in the real world, with many parts collapsed, as if it had undergone a fierce battle.
But when Su Tianqing looked up at the sky, the huge wound in the sky overflowing with the starlight of the Milky Way made her tremble all over, and the hand that was gripping the Heart Moon Magic Wand couldn't help but tighten its grip a little more.
"An astral rift? But... why is it so big...?"
"That was the largest astral rift in history, which once completely blocked out the sky over the entire city of Suicheng."
A slightly familiar voice sounded beside her, and Su Tianqing turned her head to look at the blue-clad figure standing next to her.
Magical Girl Mercury, her old senior, Red Rose's old acquaintance, the world's number one villainous magical girl.
Standing side by side with such a senior figure who has been with us for decades is quite a novel feeling.
I'm sorry to have dragged you into this.
Mercury continued,
"This was originally a matter between Red Rose and me, I never expected it would involve you, a junior..."
"It's alright. I was planning to investigate Senior Red Rose's secret anyway, so this is just what I wanted to do."
The golden-haired fox replied, gripping the Heart Moon Magic Wand tightly, and gazing at the enormous rift spanning the sky in the world of his mind.
Seeing her say that, Mercury didn't say anything more, but just smiled gently.
"Heh... that secret manual should be in your hands, right?"
"!"
Su Tianqing was stunned for a moment, intending to pretend she knew nothing, but Mercury continued:
"Keep it safe. It's a revelation I received in the far reaches of the abyss beyond the stars. It can help you a lot."
"……good."
Mercury's words dispelled all her doubts. After a long silence, Su Tianqing nodded heavily.
Their attention was drawn to the crack.
"Did you see the wound on the sky?"
"Mmm," Su Tianqing replied.
"These are exaggerated cracks, but how did they form? How could something like this exist in Senior Red Rose's mental world?"
Mercury gazed at the scars in the sky and slowly said:
"More than 20 years ago, a huge astral rift appeared in the sky above Suicheng. Countless monsters and astral magic poured out from it, bringing great disaster to Suicheng."
"Although Red Rose is very strong, she did not find a good way to close the rift, so she opened up her mental world and suppressed the rift within her mental world."
"This is what you see."
Su Tianqing finally understood.
Why can't Red Rose turn back into an ordinary person? Because there is always an exaggerated rift in her mental world, and the massive amount of astral magic surging from it forcibly turns her into a magical girl!
It wasn't that she didn't want to undo the transformation, but rather that she simply couldn't dissipate such immense magical power!
If we forcibly sever the connection with the stars, once the mental world collapses and the rift reappears above Suicheng, it will inevitably cause an even more terrible disaster!
"However, no matter how powerful her mental world is, such a large amount of magic will eventually have to find a place to overflow."
"The overflowing manic magic will then seek out suitable targets to erode and parasitize, creating a large number of astral monsters."
"Could it be that this is the reason why there have been so many strange attacks in Suicheng in recent years?" Su Tianqing was very surprised.
The reason has been found: the fundamental factor that makes Guangzhou a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery is this huge rift!
"After all these years, you are still the only one who can enter my mental world so easily."
A fiery red magical girl slowly descended from the sky and stood not far away, looking at the two people in front of her.
"Long time no see, Feng Liqiu."
"...Hey, is it really okay to call a junior by their full name?" Mercury raised an eyebrow and said with displeasure.
"So what? Even the abyss beyond the star realm has bestowed a secret scripture upon the little fox beside you. Do you think she wouldn't know your name?" Red Rose replied with a smile.
"I know I still can't get along with you. Once this is resolved, I'm definitely going to have a good fight with you."
"Like before?"
"Tsk, get to the point!"
Mercury gritted his teeth, while Su Tianqing watched the show with great interest.
"Anyway, Xin Yuehu and I have been helping out here. You've kept this thing locked in your mind for so many years, have you thought of any way to shut it down?"
"No," Red Rose answered without hesitation.
"...Nothing? Not even a single idea?"
"If I had to pinpoint a solution, I do have one, but it's a bit complicated and dangerous."
The three of them exchanged glances and then looked up at the sky.
"I will try to heal the astral rift little by little, but the overflowing magic will form countless strange beings in my mental world to interfere with me."
"What you two need to do is very simple—during the time I'm healing the rift, kill any monsters that get close to me."
The golden fox and Mercury looked at each other in silence, a pleasant smile on their faces.
Dealing with weirdos? Engaging in a group fight?
What a coincidence! This fox happens to be a perfect match for my major!
Mercury summoned the Azure Scythe, Red Rose gripped her twin flaming greatswords, and Heartmoon Fox resummoned the Twelve Zodiac Witches behind her. They all looked up at the scar in the sky.
"Go, Red Rose!"
