Chapter 403 A Terrifying Miracle!
"What, are you kidding me!?"
Before Tang Zijun could speak, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but let out a scream.
The emerald green grass swayed gently in the breeze, the green expanse rich and vibrant, waves of grass stretching endlessly toward the horizon.
Colorful wildflowers are scattered among the trees, emitting a faint fragrance. However, what lies hidden beneath is still the cracked earth and broken gravel, devoid of any life or moisture. Even though one can smell the scent of earthy grass, it cannot mask the endless desolation and barrenness.
The artificial grassland contrasts sharply with the real desolation, as if two completely different layers have been superimposed, giving people a strange sense of absurdity.
A gentle breeze swept by, raising a cloud of dust.
The dust filled the air, blurring the view and blurring the line between reality and illusion.
Standing on this grassland, Xiao Xiao felt a strange sense of confusion and fear welling up inside her. Gazing at the sphere that floated quietly in the sky in the distance, her gaze became incredibly complicated.
Falsehoods are not scary; what's scary is when the other party tries to make you believe it's true.
Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth. "You call this controlling plant growth? You've just used projection to create a false scene. This can't be considered a revival at all. Can't you see the desolation hidden beneath this illusion?!"
"What is desolation..."
The black sphere slowly descended, and a gentle female voice echoed out. Xiu's tone was so soft, like a mother humming a lullaby.
"The desolation you see... is merely what you perceive with your eyes... We abandoned this most basic mode of observation long before the New Age..."
"...So relax...guests from afar...I will bless you...help you evolve to a new level...and see this world from a more unique perspective..."
"Just like now... Look... Butterflies flutter among the flowers... Horses gallop across the grasslands... Life is encompassed between heaven and earth... This place will be full of boundless vitality..."
Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered as she gripped the magic wand tightly.
No, that's not right.
My previous assumptions were wrong.
The other person wasn't trying to deceive me.
But in the other person's perception, all of this is real!
Real grass, real flowers—beneath this veil of reality, the false desolation is concealed, and everything is so full of life, as if it has been given a new meaning by the other party.
"You are not a god."
Xiao Xiao took two steps back, her eyes filled with disbelief. She stared at the strange sphere and murmured to herself.
"You have no right to define the meaning of this world, nor do you have the right to define what is real."
"You're nothing but a monster living in a lie..."
Xiao Xiao abruptly shut her mouth halfway through her sentence, because she suddenly realized that she was still on the other party's territory.
Regardless of what the other party is, the ability to project an image encompassing the entire earth in an instant is a power that surpasses her imagination of technology. No matter how the other party tries to disguise itself, it cannot deny the fact that it invaded reality and forcibly kidnapped her and Tang Zijun to this world.
However, once words are spoken, they are like water spilled; by then it's too late to realize them.
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and swallowed hard.
In those few seconds of silence, she felt a terrifying pressure destroying her body.
After a pause, the gentle female voice broke the silence.
"...monster..."
The soft, sweet voice landed in Xiao Xiao's mind.
Those two simple words made her heart skip a beat; for a moment, she felt as if she were locked onto by some kind of being.
An indescribable feeling of suffocation washed over her, making it hard for her to breathe.
"I had intended to handle this in a gentler way... but your rudeness has exhausted my patience... I think dealing with you more directly is more efficient than cooperation..."
As the woman's voice rang out, the dim yellow clouds in the sky began to churn, and a powerful wave of air rapidly spread out from the center of the black sphere.
"So you finally couldn't hold back and had to make a move?" Tang Zijun raised her hand to block the gust of wind, turning to look at Xiao Xiao with a hint of helplessness on her face. "You just said I angered Him, huh?"
"I... I just exposed her lie..." Xiao Xiao awkwardly shrank back, then couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tang, do you have a way to defeat her?"
"It's hard to say." Tang Zijun's expression turned serious, and her eyes, fixed on the black sphere, held a hint of solemnity. "This isn't my home turf, and besides, I've never dealt with this type of enemy before."
"I can fight too!"
Xiao Xiao walked over to Tang Zijun's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Don't underestimate me. Although I haven't been fighting for long, I'm already a Green-rank Magical Girl, and I've even personally taken down a low-level member of the Outer Path Demon!"
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.
No, it wasn't that the sky had darkened, but rather that the light near the black sphere was being distorted and bent wildly, making the entire space seem as if it were being gently kneaded by an invisible hand, becoming twisted and bizarre.
The powerful gravity affected the surrounding light, stretching it into strange arcs and rapidly sweeping in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the thick clouds in the sky and the substances in the air began to slowly sink towards the ground, and the whole world darkened.
Along with it came the cold, icy female voice.
"...Codename: Magical Girl...This is the first time we've captured such a precious living subject...I originally wanted to cooperate with you...but now it seems...the experimental subject itself has no value for being blessed..."
The Milky Way flowed backward, and the matter near the black sphere began to slowly flow towards the ground. The gaseous elements were not spared either, meandering through the air until, under the terrifying force, they connected with the ground and merged into the grassland reflected on the ground.
The illusory grassland was instantly torn apart by a terrifying force, and a catastrophe seemed to have occurred on the entire land. The sky and the ground were merging together in an unimaginable way.
Nuomi let out a scream and turned to hide behind Tang Zijun, whose eyes also held a hint of disbelief. "Could that low-ranking member of the heretical demon you killed have done the same?"
'
..." Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, staring at the scene that resembled the end of the world, and she was speechless.
As far as the eye can see, all matter is being stripped away little by little and integrated into the image of the ground. The undulating wasteland is being pressed and flattened by an indescribable force.
The distant mountains and ravines were instantly stretched into thin lines, losing their original three-dimensionality.
Everything in the world was distorted by this powerful force, gradually compressed from a three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional plane.
The area affected by the fluctuations released by the black sphere was rapidly flattened by all three-dimensional matter, and even some things that were invisible to the naked eye were stretched into a plane like a thin veil.
Xiao Xiao knew she had guessed wrong again.
The other party is truly a god.
A god without divine power, authority, or laws...
That black sphere might really be a deity that controls plant growth, because when those plants were frozen from three dimensions to two dimensions by this strange force, they were indeed full of vitality.
Moreover, they will always be full of life—in a two-dimensional state.
"Damn it! How am I supposed to fight this?!" Nuomi yelled, her voice trembling with a sob.
Xiao Xiao's face was also very pale. She stared blankly at the dim, yellowish world before her, which was being transformed into an incredibly abstract painting.
Those barren plains that were originally layered and three-dimensional are being compressed into a two-dimensional plane as thin as paper in an unstoppable trend.
This scene completely exceeded her imagination. Although the original enemies were disgusting and repulsive, they were at least beings that could be fought. But now, looking at the black sphere that flipped the table without saying a word, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that the heretical demon was actually quite cute.
Meanwhile, Nuomi's cries continued, and the energy fluctuations grew closer; everyone could clearly feel their bodies undergoing some kind of change. "Waaaaah! We're doomed! We're all going to die here!"
"No...you won't die..."
The woman's voice spoke softly and gently.
"You will be molded into a new life form... a completely controllable and free life form..."
'
"So this is your purpose, isn't it?" Tang Zijun stared at the approaching wave, feeling the strange energy. "From the very beginning, you wanted to capture magical girls and study their powers."
"These are just some interesting discoveries on our path to a higher level... Yes... you beings from another world do indeed possess some interesting energies..."
Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly. "You want to use scientific methods to analyze magic?"
"Nothing is beyond scientific explanation... The laws governing all things in the world are under our control... We have already comprehended the creation and destruction of the universe..."
"As for magic... that's merely a new problem waiting to be solved on our path to eternity."
'
Seemingly sensing that everything was under control, the woman's voice even carried a hint of elation as she looked at the three lives that were about to be affected and had no way to avoid them.
But Tang Zijun's next action caused the woman's voice to falter slightly.
"I admit your technology is indeed quite impressive; the ability to forcibly crush three-dimensional objects into two dimensions is worthy of being called divine."
"But I don't need you to turn me into two dimensions..."
With a flick of her finger, Tang Zijun replaced the silver card at her fingertip with a black card in the blink of an eye.
"I can do it myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Zijun, Nuomi behind her, and Xiao Xiao beside her were enveloped in a black shadow and turned into a puddle of shadows at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The next second, the shadow detached itself from the collapsed world and vanished into the darkness...
