Far-off Sea Giant Spirit

‘That old geezer… could he have some kind of innate sacred body?’

Luo Zining’s mind couldn’t help but wander.

If she took Luo You for a proper, detailed examination, the results would probably be something extraordinary, right?

The Aurora Witch, Elera… her power came from her high compatibility with Divinity Particles, which led to her taming… or rather, bedding one magical girl after another into submission.

If Luo You, who also possessed high compatibility, were to fuse with Divinity Particles…

‘Dad won’t turn into a villainess like Elera, hunting magical girls everywhere, will he?’

The word ‘worry’ was written all over Luo Zining’s eyes.

Knowing that old geezer’s habits, if he suddenly gained immense power, he would definitely do something like that.

Even if it wasn’t hunting magical girls, he would surely do something that violated public order and good morals.

But most importantly—

‘If that’s true, it means Dad will definitely have to stand on the front lines, right?’

Someone with such abilities couldn’t be allowed to just slack off in the background; they would surely be brought out to shine.

Luo Zining thought about it and decided to just wait and see for now.

The next day.

Inside the Wangyue-class Super-large Star Ring, Luo Zining was sound asleep in her bed.

In her dream, she inexplicably saw an insolent little brat, stark naked, with her rear end pointed up on the bed, being viciously tormented from behind by an older sister, crying out loud.

Just as the bullying was reaching its climax!

CRASH—!

“Ugh? Aah?” Luo Zining woke with a start, drool still at the corner of her mouth.

‘What the hell? Did the insolent little brat get blown up by the big sister?!’

But then another loud CRASH echoed, and the entire super-large Star Ring began to tremble violently!

“An attack?”

Luo Zining shot up, transformed into a magical girl, and rushed out the door.

Outside, a large number of Star Ring personnel were running around in a panic, packing the long, narrow corridors and making passage extremely inefficient.

Seeing this, Luo Zining decided against using the corridor, instead using her magic to melt a hole in the special tempered glass window and flying out.

“Wh—!?”

When she saw the shadow cast by the behemoth outside, Luo Zining’s pupils trembled violently.

‘A dimensional beast?!’

Luo Zining looked out and saw a huge monster atop the super-large Star Ring, wreaking havoc, but it had already been intercepted by the magical girls stationed there.

“Zi—! Little Red Riding Hood!” Feiyu teleported to her side.

“A-Auntie? What do we do now?”

Luo Zining was so panicked she didn’t know which way was up.

Feiyu’s expression was grave as she pointed downward. “Nearly twenty dimensional beasts suddenly came up from the Sea of Realms, mostly Mortal and Ghost-class. Go down and help!”

“Okay!”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. I’m confident you can handle the Mortal-class grunts on your own, but be careful with the Ghost-class ones. Make smart use of teamwork! If you really can’t stop them, let them pass. The magical girls on the mainland will intercept them!”

“Okay! What about you, Auntie?”

“I’m going to take care of that thing.” Feiyu faced the other end of the super-large Star Ring. “That one is King-class. We can’t let it keep damaging the Star Ring!”

Without another word, she joined the battle above, coordinating with her teammates to blast the King-class dimensional beast downward.

Gulp—!

Luo Zining swallowed nervously.

There were a total of 11 magical girls stationed at Area 13 of the Sea of Realms Pass, all of them top-tier—on the same level as Zhou Xi and Yue Yuezi who had been transferred to Huahai City.

In addition, due to the need to replenish the super-large Star Ring’s magic, more than forty magical girls had gathered here.

Theoretically, it shouldn’t be too difficult for them to stop these dimensional beasts.

However, apart from the 11 magical girls permanently stationed at the Jiuming Sea, the others were all temporarily transferred from the mainland. Like Luo Zining, they were either rookies or lacked experience fighting so many dimensional beasts at once.

Their on-the-spot performance, teamwork, and psychological adjustment were all problems that needed to be solved.

“I have to go!”

Nine Dazzling Ephemera hovered behind Luo Zining like nine blinding suns, immediately attracting the attention of two nearby dimensional beasts.

“Go die— oh, wait, magical girls shouldn’t use such vulgar language… Anyway, just stop!”

Powerful magic cannons rained down. The two Mortal-class dimensional beasts dodged nimbly, their every move showcasing mobility far beyond that of Earth’s native creatures. But they were completely unaware that the bombardment had herded them into a dangerous area.

Seeing they were in position, a glint flashed in Luo Zining’s eyes. ‘Now!’

The Dazzling Ephemera unleashed another volley. The two Mortal-class dimensional beasts, having dodged numerous blasts, could no longer evade and died tragically under the cannon fire.

Luo Zining quickly set her sights on a Ghost-class beast about a mile away.

“…”

Her hand was trembling slightly.

This was her first time facing a Ghost-class dimensional beast alone. Needless to say, they were much stronger than the Mortal-class ones and posed a significant threat to magical girls.

[Auntie told me to focus on teamwork, but who around here—]

“I’ll support you!”

“?!”

The voice of a magical girl came from not far away. Like Luo Zining, she was also from the mainland.

Then another voice came from the same direction, apparently the first magical girl’s partner.

“My name is Shanyun! I’ll do my best to control its movements. It’s up to you when the opportunity comes!”

“If there’s danger, I’ll fall back to protect you. Aah, my name is Baichuan!”

“You two…” Luo Zining looked at them in surprise, then nodded as if she had made up her mind. “Okay! I’m Little Red Riding Hood. I’ll be counting on you for cover.”

The three of them joined the effort to intercept the Ghost-class dimensional beast.

As time went on, their number grew to five.

Magical girls were fighting hard in other areas as well.

Not all the top-tier magical girls had gone to intercept the King-class beast; a few had split off to coordinate and command the other magical girls in stopping the remaining ones.

Among them was Yun Que, a magical girl stationed locally at the Jiuming Sea. She watched Luo Zining’s fighting figure with an appreciative and gratified gaze.

With Luo Zining’s eye-catching performance as a starting point, the other second-rate magical girls who had no idea what to do saw her and naturally began to rally around her, providing support and interception.

A person like that could create unprecedented unity among magical girls who had never met before.

‘Well, her mental fortitude aside, the kid’s actual strength is quite impressive.’

Yun Que thought to herself that if her team had such a powerful artillery platform providing support from the rear, dealing with dimensional beasts in the future would be much, much easier.

‘I should try to recruit her later!’

Meanwhile.

“Lady Aula, as you commanded, the test subject has been released into the Sea of Realms.”

“Mm, well done.”

Aula nodded with satisfaction.

The man behind her was confused. “Why release it into the Sea of Realms? That was a hard-won research result. Even if it was a failure…”

“Silence!” Aula snapped harshly. “My experiment was perfect! It’s not for you to criticize!”

“This subordinate has overstepped…” The man lowered his head, not daring to argue.

But a secret smile touched Aula’s lips.

‘The people of the world probably don’t know yet… Dimensional beasts, you see, grow continuously stronger in the Sea of Realms, don’t they?’

‘Giant Spirit of the Far Sea, let’s see what you’re made of~’
