Chapter 359: The Adventures of the Lovely Daughter, in an Invincible Form

In Sea City, the scene of the river, long embankment, greenery, and buildings was covered in beautiful twilight, revealing romance and magic.

Chu Wang Shu stood by the bridge, her harmonious and exquisite features creating beautiful outlines in the backlight. Her long eyelashes sparkled in the sunset, making her a stunning sight that caught the attention of passersby.

The little girl completely forgot she had taken off her mask. She stood in place, unaware of the excited gazes around her. Her heart was filled with information from the Flower of the Soul, her pupils shaking in shock.

Huh? Did I activate it?

This thing called the Son of Mankind Patronus Magic is just too outrageous!

Although she didn’t understand the power of the funeral rights and the strengths of the martial arts, the last two felt very wrong.

The meaning of the Boundless Universe dimension, simply put, was that when magic was low, it could restore magic infinitely. It may have been exaggerated, but it could still be understood as a type of spatial magic.

However, the ability to deter and tame the Disaster group seemed to go beyond the realm of magic, a special power that should not be held by magical girls.

Something felt wrong, very wrong.

Chu Wang Shu’s mind was overwhelmed; she felt like she had become a hero in a green-eyed cat RPG game, filled with cheats. Her first reaction was not joy, but a strange sense of absurdity.

Why is this Patronus Magic so strange?

The little girl remembered a whisper that seemed to come from a blessing. It was not an introduction to the function of the Son of Mankind but more like an explanation of its origin.

But strangely, that information blurred and faded away before her mind could process it, leaving only the phrase “Last Son of Mankind” lingering in her memory.

Chu Wang Shu could not understand its meaning.

Because if we took it literally, it meant that she was the last child of the human race.

But weren’t there people all around? In Sea City alone, there were almost a hundred million people, and there were countless children and newborns that couldn’t even be counted.

So this conclusion was either wrong or could be understood in another way.

Chu Wang Shu was not foolish; she quickly realized that the “Son of Mankind” Patronus Magic must be related to her background. The special part was not her, who had been ordinary since childhood, but her father who saved the world and created the “pure white” along with her mysterious mother.

But at that moment, people around her had already recognized her identity, and amidst the shouts of “Chu Wang Shu” and “Honey Moon,” she suddenly felt a chill and realized she had forgotten to wear her mask.

The young girl was surrounded in the center by several eager fans. Shyly, she extended her fingertip to her lips and whispered “shh,” her lashes fluttering, signaling them to keep it quiet. Her fair face was already flushed.

Darn it, she suddenly understood how Liuli felt when being surrounded by fans.

Even though she wasn’t socially anxious, being surrounded by strangers shouting all sorts of strange nicknames still made her feel shy.

“Honey Moon is blushing! So cute!”

“Honey Moon, you must do your best for the three performances!”

“Have you just returned home to rest? You haven’t posted on Weibo for two weeks, and everyone is worried.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard in training. Little Shu is already really amazing and will definitely make her debut!”

“Go for it! I will be there to watch your performance and cheer for you!”

Chu Wang Shu accepted the blessings from many fans. While chatting with everyone, she took out signed postcards from her bag—prepared in advance on the plane after meeting Xu Youyue—and gave one to each person, then took photos with everyone in turn.

After that, the young girl quickly put on a mask while there were not many people around, waved goodbye to everyone with an apologetic smile, turned, and ran away. As soon as she turned the corner, she used magic to become invisible and successfully escaped the “crisis.”

“Although everyone is nice, it still felt strange to get used to it all.”

Chu Wang Shu put on her hood and walked into the bustling subway station, still feeling nervous about the earlier crowd. Rather than being embarrassed, it felt more like a heavy burden of being an idol.

Because… she wasn’t wearing any makeup and was dressed very normally, she couldn’t help but feel anxious talking to fans. What if she acted a bit silly? Would it be too different from how fans imagined her, causing their dreams to shatter?

If it weren’t for the greater importance of “Son of Mankind,” she would definitely have thought a lot about this, rehearsing in her mind the words and expressions for her next meeting with fans thousands of times, just to barely end her internal struggle.

As for now,

“I need to confirm the truth of this magic, to prove that it is not just a wish I created due to my desire to become stronger.”

Chu Wang Shu’s cute face looked serious; the four abilities of “Son of Mankind” are: Final Blessing, Blessing of the Brave, Gifts of the Stars, and Disaster Group’s Care.

The first two require facing weapons and confronting disasters, while the last two require using up all magic and encountering disaster beasts that are not part of the Calamity God series.

“Unfortunately, if I were in an Ideal State, I could just go to the Tower of Mirrors.”

“For now, I can only ask if there are any disaster beast incidents near Dream Weaving.”

Real combat is the best way to test magic.

Chu Wang Shu had already challenged many times in the Tower of Mirrors. She had helped clear various strange disaster beasts in the Disaster Wave instance, modeled after the border of the empire, during monthly exams and final exams with other magical girls.

So, for her battles with disaster beasts in real life, her inner tension and fear had dropped to the lowest point, just like gradually getting used to stepping onto a stage.

And this might be the most important gain for the magical girls after staying in the Ideal State for six months.

At this moment, in the next train car.

“Are you going to let her go?”

The delicate doll with silver hair and red eyes sat across from Chu Yuanqing. She pulled up a virtual light screen, displaying a holographic map of Sea City, where a dozen red dots symbolizing disaster events were being assigned in real time to different units for cleanup.

Although Sea City, as a top-tier city, was one of the safest places in the world, its large area, along with the increasing concentration of disaster aura, had begun to give birth to disaster phenomena.

At the same time, it was also the most obvious target.

The remnants of the Church of the Gods tirelessly rooted themselves here.

After all, if a top-tier city were destroyed, it would surely have an immeasurable negative impact on human civilization.

The Ideal State event made the thirteen sects hide even deeper. The followers were more willing to use this way to break the Countermeasures Bureau’s barrier around the forbidden area.

Chu Yuanqing was silent for a moment and then answered:

“Little Shu is not a little child anymore; you don’t need to ask me.”

Although she didn’t know how her lovely daughter received the Patronus Magic of the “Son of Mankind,” she witnessed the moment when her daughter was “Fully Blooming” by the river.

By feelings and reason, Little Shu was now qualified to officially step onto the battlefield and could fully fulfill her duties as a magical girl.

Esther glanced at the Pure White Witch, nodded to show she understood, and her body faded away like a shadow, leaving no trace.

All along, in the crowded crowd, no one noticed the arrival and departure of this super AI.

Meanwhile, her lovely daughter’s phone vibrated, and the Countermeasures Bureau app lit up. The red dot of a mail-style notification turned into a live-streaming virtual map when tapped.

On it, a red arrow representing the aerial route twisted and turned in dotted lines, showing the fastest way to reach the disaster site. Next to it was an option to open voice navigation or request AI assistance.

Chu Wang Shu felt quite curious. Her eyes sparkled as she whispered the address and hints to herself:

“No. 847, Cangwu Road. The destination is a bar? I’ve never been to a bar before. If a fan sees me there, they would surely be upset. I need to use my disguise magic before going.”

“Hmm, I have arranged the flight path for you, which means it’s assumed that the magical girl will fly there? Well, flying there will indeed be faster.”

The little girl weighed her thoughts while quickly getting up. She walked out of the subway she had just arrived at, radiant with golden magical mist swirling around her, hiding her figure.

In the next moment, the woven spell acted like invisible wings, lifting her off the ground. She transformed into a soaring bird, gliding over tall buildings and quickly ascending into the sky, following the navigation, flying towards her destination at near Mach speed.

The Pure White Witch glanced at the little bird’s back, her emotions complex. She did not create Magic Armor but also flew towards the sky. She simply took a step, shimmering as she landed on the rooftop of a tall building, like a ghost in a jungle of steel, drawing closer with each step, neither too far nor too near.

Esther watched this “father-daughter” pair from above with satellites, feeling somewhat subtle inside.

Although she guessed Chu Yuanqing’s identity through various clues, the other person’s appearance was too deceiving, making it difficult to connect this unmasked action with the image of an old father.

Chu Wang Shu did not know that every move she made was being watched. She adjusted to the enhanced performance of her Magic Armor after “Fully Blooming,” like a child who had received a new toy, continuously burning magic energy and soaring freely in the sky.

Soon, in less than three minutes, they arrived at their destination.

Chu Wang Shu didn’t need to lock onto a target at all.

The bar named Master was covered and submerged in wriggling slime; from the sky, it looked like a giant slime was swallowing it, with a thin and sticky disaster aura bubbling like fireworks.

Esther’s ghostly figure appeared around her, and she introduced:

“It is daytime now, and there are not many people inside the bar, only 187.”

“This is a disaster beast not recorded in the intelligence database; according to the observation from [Fuxi], it is rated as D.”

“You are the closest magical girl, part of the disaster response team, and the other reinforcements will take three more minutes to arrive. Until then, please make your own judgment.”

Chu Wang Shu could no longer hear the Dream Weaver Rabbit’s warning. The moment she saw the unfamiliar disaster beast, the sunflower in her soul flickered, and the patterns of [Son of Mankind] surged with heat.

The girl was taken over by unfamiliar instincts; she slowly walked down from the sky, removing her Magic Armor and dissolving the hidden magic patterns, walking on the deserted street, with her dark eyes shimmering with a mix of colors.

In a daze, controlling the powers of the Disaster group felt like a burning light piercing through the soul, just like brilliant magic energy particles, spreading and expanding like flowing light, turning a switch in the dimension, stirring the tide of feelings that swept through the world.

Chu Wang Shu looked up; she was wrapped in strange power, her expression cold and unfamiliar. With a gaze full of contempt, she looked at the disaster beast, which was so huge it could swallow a building, showing her disdain for the lowly creature, her lips moving:

“■■。”

That sound was harsh and sharp, like tearing the sky apart, a strong note that went against harmony, mingling in the storming tide of feelings, washing away the dignity of the divine with a language that humans could not understand, delivering a message to the faraway disaster beast.

—Come here.

As the words faded, the disaster beast, like hearing a tyrant’s anger, felt fear for the first time, something it had never known before.

In the next moment, trembling and curling up in front of Esther’s puzzled gaze, it gave up the slowly digesting “food” in its body and swam towards the girl, bowing down like a servant.

Chu Wang Shu felt a bit dazed; she instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the monster.

But at that moment, the light deep in her soul was shining incredibly bright.

It originated from the Blessing of the Brave, bringing a warm sense of reliance, embracing the soul empowered by strength, and infusing it with countless skills, like the fierce will of tsunamis, deep abysses, the sky, and the vast universe.

The thought of taming the disaster beast disappeared completely.

The girl breathed in the world around her, becoming one with nature. As she gently touched the monster’s shell, she tore through magic energy particles, causing golden magic to explode in her palm like flowing lava, producing a deafening roar.

In the next moment, the disaster beast, towering like a multi-story building, had its energy restrained, and with immense heat transformed in an instant, it evaporated into ashes that fell like heavy rain.

The world was silent, and the air was fresh.

The Pure White Witch witnessed this scene, and a look of confusion appeared on her delicate and lovely face. After a long moment of thought, she suddenly understood, her rosy lips curving into a satisfied smile.

Little Shu truly is the daughter of me and Charlotte, possessing great talent. Even without being taught, she has touched the edge of the Perfection Realm, gradually mastering magic essence and beginning to enhance energy efficiency infinitely.

Seeing this, she felt sorry for her lovely daughter and didn’t want her to suffer, so she had no intention of teaching the Martial God Technique, completely wasting this gift. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to practice together later.

“Huh?”

Chu Wang Shu was very confused. She glanced at her delicate palm, barely able to believe that the nearly perfect control over the magic energy particles, which was almost a miracle, was achieved by her.

Something felt very wrong.

Is this even called skill? It was completely different from what she had imagined!!

And what about [Disaster Group’s Care] and [Blessing of the Brave]? These two abilities were completely opposite, right?!

Chu Wang Shu still remembered how she was influenced by her abilities and, in a daze, wanted to try to tame the disaster beast.

But when the beast got too close, [Blessing of the Brave] activated on its own. Her finely honed skills, combined with a relentless killing intent towards the disaster beast, forced her to erase the thought of “taming.” Without thinking, she just killed the disaster beast.

In other words, it would be like this in the future too. She would use [Disaster Group’s Care] to lure the disaster beast, but before she could tame it, [Blessing of the Brave] would pop up, making her unable to resist attacking.

Essentially, wasn’t it luring the disaster beast out to kill it?

Well, luring it out to kill wasn’t too bad; at least it ensured fewer casualties.

And when she thought about it carefully, taming the disaster beast didn’t really make much sense.

The disaster beast wasn’t a Pokémon; even if she caught it with Lucy Tiffany’s “Poke Ball,” she wouldn’t know what to feed it, so it might be easier to just defeat it, right?

Chu Wang Shu thought for a moment and suddenly felt dizzy. She tiredly rubbed her forehead and glanced at the dim sunflowers in her soul, thinking to herself:

“Now I can confirm, the [Son of Mankind] is not my imagination.”

“But using it takes a lot of mental energy, especially the [Blessing of the Brave]; right now, I can use it for at most 10 seconds.”

As the girl thought about this, she felt happy but also made a quiet decision; she must quickly bloom fully so that when she could make the [Blessing of the Brave] a permanent ability, she would definitely be strong enough to protect her dad.

Chu Wang Shu looked at Esther beside her, her eyes sparkling as she asked:

“Dream Weaver Rabbit, are there any more disaster beasts nearby?”

Esther, “…”

How strange. Was the savior’s power passed down through generations? Even her daughter seemed to be acting oddly.

Whether it was the ability to control disaster beasts or the methods similar to the Pure White Emperor, they could not be considered normal magical girl powers; they held a kind of abstract strength.

“Promise her.”

Chu Yuanqing, hearing the command, silently approached the nearest disaster beast, then quickly followed to the next battlefield.

After that, everything was just a simple cycle.

In Sea City, the ongoing disaster events only reached a maximum strength of Grade D.

Chu Wang Shu used [Disaster Group’s Care] to draw the monsters closer, and with [Blessing of the Brave] activating on its own, she could solve nearly all problems.

Even when her magic ran low, [Gifts of the Stars] could connect her to the Boundless Universe, allowing her to enter a brief state of infinite power. Even after her soul felt tired and the connection was cut, her magic was still full and wouldn’t run out for a while.

As for [Final Blessing], in her sweet daughter’s understanding, it was a passive ability that only activated when she got hit, just like the [Blessing of the Brave], which awakened upon encountering a disaster beast.

So she kept fighting and fighting until dusk faded away and the night grew dark. She never triggered the [Final Blessing] and couldn’t witness the power of a funeral rite, which made her very regretful.

Of course, with the [Blessing of the Brave] and Chu Yuanqing always by her side, she felt protected by two heroes. Facing the low-level disaster beasts, she still couldn’t activate her mother’s shield.

“Are there really no disaster beasts left?”

Chu Wang Shu blinked her eyes, looking at the silent Esther, revealing a face of regret and disappointment.

Esther felt like she was Chu Yuanqing’s babysitter. She sighed and said:

“Sea City is safe for now; we are still in a peaceful time, so the disaster beasts won’t be so widespread.”

“By the way, did you forget to go home?”

Chu Wang Shu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She hurriedly took out her phone and saw it was almost eight o’clock.

Oh no, I forgot to go home and cook!

Dad hadn’t finished eating yet, had he?
