140. Evil God Fragment No. 1 – Magical Girl Cultivation System
Evil, Evil God.
Elrose widened her eyes and trembled as she said, “Why are you here?”
In the past, when the Evil God communicated with her, it was always through the “Evil God Message Board.”
The only time she had encountered him in person was when her soul entered his Evil God’s spiritual realm.
And now, that guy called the Evil God was standing right in front of her, in the real world?!
What the hell?
What is going on?
“Oh dear, no need to be so excited.” The Evil God smiled slightly, “Although I know that during my absence, you must have missed me a lot.”
“Yeah, I really missed you a lot.” Elrose’s face darkened as she slowly stood up: “Especially… want to strangle you!!!”
Saying that, Elrose stepped forward and pounced on the Evil God like a hungry wolf, pinning him to the ground and wrapping her hands tightly around his neck.
“Evil God, you big jerk, quickly give back all my power.” Elrose glared at him, her eyes blazing with fury.
“Ugh! Elrose, calm down, calm down! Even if you strangle me, your power won’t come back right now.” The Evil God exclaimed.
Elrose gritted her teeth and said, “You’re such a big liar. At first, you boasted that Magical Girls are invincible, and what happened? A few days ago, a Saintess appeared out of nowhere and defeated me in three moves. Now, I don’t even know what happened; I was inexplicably locked up, and I can’t fight back.”
Tears welled up in Elrose’s eyes as she expressed her grievance: “All these things that happened are clearly your fault!”
“My fault, my fault, it’s all my fault.” The Evil God smiled helplessly, then patted Elrose on the shoulder, comforting her, “So I’m back as fast as I could. Don’t worry, with me by your side to assist you, this sort of thing will definitely not happen again.”
Really? Elrose was a bit doubtful.
Really, I swear in the name of the Evil God.” The Evil God said earnestly.
“This… sigh, never mind, it’s not the time to argue about this. I’ll cut you some slack this time.”
Elrose released her hands and stood up from the Evil God.
“So what’s the situation here? Why was I suddenly locked up?”
Elrose asked in confusion.
The Evil God stood up: “Well, to put it simply, someone robbed a bank and saw a beautiful girl, so they decided to rob her as well.”
“Uh…” Elrose was stunned. Although the Evil God’s words were vague, she roughly understood what he meant, “So someone was after me and ended up kidnapping me?”
“Yes, that’s the meaning.”
“What should I do now?”
Elrose pulled at the chains on her hands and the collar around her neck, “With this and that, I feel almost useless right now.”
Fearing the Evil God wouldn’t help, Elrose quickly added, “Don’t forget, you just guaranteed that I won’t suffer like this anymore.”
“Of course, I am your loyal Contract Beast, and protecting you is my duty.”
Saying this, the Evil God snapped his fingers, and the Demon Sword Apophis instantly appeared in his hand.
“Clink, clink.”
With two crisp sounds, the chains binding Elrose’s arms were severed instantly.
The Evil God shouldered Apophis and smiled smugly: “How about that? I can still be useful.”
“And this?” Elrose pointed to the mana limiter around her neck.
“Oh, sorry, I forgot. But that thing is a bit tough; I need to put in more effort.” The Evil God smiled coldly, gripping the Demon Sword, and struck directly at Elrose’s neck.
In an instant, a dark light rushed towards her.
Elrose felt a chill run through her body and couldn’t help but close her eyes.
With a crisp sound, the collar around her neck was instantly split in half.
???
“Damn it, do you have to be so aggressive? I thought you were going to kill me!”
Elrose shouted angrily, “You, a dignified deity, can’t find a quieter way to unlock things?”
“Uh… it’s unavoidable.” The Evil God said somewhat awkwardly: “To be honest, I am not the true Evil God; I am merely a fragment of him, and my knowledge and combat ability are extremely limited. If I didn’t have this Demon Sword, I might not even be able to unlock your chains.”
“What?! So weak? Why should I keep you around?!” Elrose immediately showed a disdainful expression, “And you were talking so big earlier, turns out you were just boasting.”
“Of course not, of course not.” The Evil God hurriedly defended himself: “How could I be useless? I’m your biggest support!”
Elrose tilted her head, a confused look on her face: “Biggest… support?”
“Yes.” The Evil God nodded, then adopted a very serious expression, “To formally introduce myself, I am Evil God Fragment No. 1, also known as the Magical Girl Cultivation System. My task is to guide you to become a qualified Magical Girl and thus better accomplish the task of saving the world.”
“Magical Girl Cultivation System!” Elrose paused, then hurriedly tried to open the main interface of Heart of Shadow.
Indeed.
No matter how Elrose called for it, the previous Heart of Shadow interface wouldn’t pop up.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, all the systems in that bracelet have been integrated and absorbed by me. From now on, whatever you want to do, just speak in your mind, and I will help you do it,” the Evil God said.
Upon hearing this, Elrose’s face immediately showed a look of shock: “You can hear my thoughts?”
“Of course.” The Evil God said proudly: “After all, I’m a deity.”
Elrose’s face was filled with distrust; no one likes to feel like their thoughts are being monitored all the time.
“Oh come on, you have to trust me; I’m your loyal teammate.” The Evil God understood Elrose’s thoughts and then said, “Well, enough talking. It’s better to prove myself through action.”
The Evil God smiled slightly, then struck again, and the iron locks of the prison cell were also cleaved open.
“Let’s go, my dear Elrose; you wanted power, and at the bottom of this ship, there is what you desire.”
“Ship?” Elrose was taken aback. “Is this a ship?”
“Yes,” the Evil God nodded. “You were unconscious for nearly three hours. Now, the bandits have taken you away from Banbei City and onto the Tobiler River.”
“Ah?!” Elrose was startled. “What about Alicia? She’s still waiting for me at the dock.”
“By the way, do you know who Alicia is?” Elrose was worried the Evil God wouldn’t know, so she hurriedly explained, “She’s the super beauty I met in Linshire Village; then, at Nightmoon Tavern…”
“Okay, okay, of course you know who Alicia is.” The Evil God displayed a mysterious smile, “She’s the important person you think about all day (the Hero), how could you not know who she is?”
A faint blush crept onto Elrose’s face: “N-no, it’s not as exaggerated as you say. I admit she’s really beautiful; I had a crush on her at first sight, but thinking about her all day? Not to that extent!”
The Evil God smiled and shook his head, knowing that Elrose didn’t understand his meaning.
“Alright, you don’t need to worry about Alicia; just focus on your own matters and wait for her to find you.” The Evil God confidently assured her.
Elrose nodded lightly; besides trusting the Evil God’s words, she seemed to have no better choice: “Okay, so what should we do now?”
“Well, of course, it’s about attacking thieves and seizing treasures,” the Evil God said with a sinister smile, “I should tell you first, there are tons of gold coins at the bottom of this ship.”
“Tons of gold coins.” Elrose swallowed hard, her eyes immediately turning the color of gold, “So what are we waiting for? Charge, charge, charge, towards the treasures!”
“Hey, hey, hey, no need to rush,” the Evil God quickly pulled Elrose back, “There are still several Saint Tier experts on this ship, so you understand what we should do, right?”
“Understood.” Elrose immediately grasped the Evil God’s meaning and, without any hesitation, took a deep breath and started chanting that ancient and cheesy spell again:
“Blacker than black, darker than dark, King of Fear, follow the pact with deities, let your great power manifest in the world.”
“I am the cutest person in the world, I represent absolute justice in the world, I am the embodiment of love and miracles.”
“Darkness and the power of souls entwine around me, supreme mana transforms into my sword and shield.”
“I am the Shadow Magical Girl.”
In an instant, a mysterious magic circle rose from beneath Elrose’s feet, a swirl of black mana swept through the prison cell.
The Heart of Shadow immediately burst into a huge light and transformed into countless butterflies, dancing gracefully.
The deep blue ocean princess disappeared in a flash, replaced by a set of pitch-black, splendid night sky butterflies.
Magical Girl, Shadie, present!
Elrose suddenly opened her black eyes and stepped forward, her cloak moving without wind.
Then, Elrose turned to look at the Evil God and slowly stretched out her right hand.
The Evil God understood what Elrose meant, waved his little hand, and tossed Apophis directly to Elrose.
Feeling the familiar coldness in her hand, Elrose couldn’t help but break into a faint smile.
“Alright, everything is ready now.”
Saying this, Elrose kicked out, and the iron door at the entrance of the cell was instantly blown away.
The three guards playing poker outside were all stunned.
The black-haired girl with the giant sword slowly walked out of the prison cell.
“Ha, foolish thieves, feel the pain and despair of your actions, your doomsday has arrived!”
