Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

Chapter 240: Transformation into Mortal

When he came down, the sky was already bright.

As he passed through the main gate, he saw the scenic area security guard in the mountains staring at him dumbfounded.

"There was another one..."

Jiang Si didn't pay him any mind either, simply walking straight past and leaving.

The other man chased after him and shouted a question, but didn't dare to keep chasing—he remembered the mountain climbing serial killers he'd seen in shows before.

What if he chased him and got killed?

Why should a security guard risk his life like that?

That guy had registered, his phone number and name were recorded, there were surveillance videos here too, plenty of evidence and leads. Calling the police first was the right choice...

So he didn't try to stop Jiang Si further, instead directly calling the police.

Jiang Si naturally knew what would happen, but he had no interest in dealing with it.After descending the mountain, he went straight back to the alley where his mother had been living.

During the days spent accompanying his mother, he had gotten quite familiar with the surrounding neighbors, having borrowed things from them quite often.

Some neighbors who were up early greeted him.

"Jiang Si, you're up so early?"

"Yeah."

"Where's your mom? Weren't you two out together?"

"Threw her in the sea."

"Huh?"

Casually responding, the aunt who had just woken up looked bewildered, holding her toothbrush, unsure for a moment whether she should ask more.

Jiang Si didn't waste much time, just returned to the room and started packing things.

There were some remaining belongings, and things borrowed from others that needed to be returned.

Just as he was packing things in the room, a car drove into the alley.

Soon, the bespectacled younger brother got out of the car. This time, he hadn't brought anyone else, it was just him alone.

Walking in, he immediately questioned:

"Where's Mom? Where did my mom go!"

Jiang Si didn't even look at him, just tidied up the things he had bought earlier and put them together. The items previously borrowed for the room were also sorted out, cleaned, and placed into cardboard boxes.

"Where's my mom!"

"Already told you, dead."

Before returning, he had sent him a message. After all, he was also their parents' child, he had the right to know about their mother's death.

But he hadn't expected him to come so quickly.

Originally, he had planned to pack up and leave before he arrived.

But it didn't really matter.

Casually replying, Jiang Si washed those buckets, pots, pans, bowls, and utensils, took them out, and returned them to the neighbors' homes.

The younger brother just followed beside him, "When I left, Mom was still in pretty good health, how did she suddenly die? Did you do something? I'm warning you, the police are looking for you everywhere. If you killed Mom, I won't let this go!"

Chattering on the side, Jiang Si paid him no attention, just continued busying himself with his own tasks.

Returning to the room again, he put the quilts, sheets, clothes, including shoes that his mother had used into a box and stuffed it under the bed.

Then, opening the cabinet, while continuing to sort through the remaining belongings.

He saw a card and an envelope.

"Wait, this bank card, it should be Mom's legacy for me..."

Seeing the bank card, the younger brother immediately spoke up, but as he came over, Jiang Si kicked him in the shin.

He knelt on the spot.

Not bothering with the younger brother clutching his shin and howling in pain, Jiang Si sat on the edge of the bed and opened the envelope.

Looking at it carefully.

"Jiang Si, son, Mom misses you. After your dad left, your mom had no one to rely on. Living alone is so meaningless, but dying alone is also terrifying. Ah, if only someone could keep me company. But this old woman is just a bother wherever she goes. Can't trouble the neighbors either, always having others take care of me. My health is getting worse and worse..."

Should have just been thicker-skinned. A lifetime of caring about face is why I lived so tiredly.

"Didn't realize it when your dad was still here, but after he left, I found out that having someone by your side really is different. Even if we're both too old to move, sick and about to die, at least we can talk without feeling disgusted by each other. Going anywhere else, I'm just a nuisance. Him dying first was actually a blessing."

"Son, I don't know when you'll come back. Maybe you won't come back at all. But Mom thought, I should leave you a few words. Just in case you do come back, and both your dad and I are dead, how lonely you'd be. Your dad was stubborn, left all the money to your brother. But Mom isn't biased. Mom left you some money too."

"Lu Ya is a good girl. Mom could tell she really likes you, and I agreed to let you marry her. But I never thought Lu Ya would take you away, don't know where you went. I hope you and her can be a little happier. Don't just let the girl give all the time, being as annoying as your dad used to be. There's two hundred thousand in this card. Not much, but enough for you to buy that girl some nice things."

"Don't blame Mom for not preparing a bride price for you. Lu Ya doesn't seem like a girl who'd demand one. But you should still give something. After you come back, go to your brother and get half of your dad's inheritance. Not much, but it's the thought. If your brother won't give it, show him your dad's will...."

After reading it, Jiang Si just snorted coldly, finding it boring.

The younger brother clutching his leg looked up, "What are you snorting about? How much is it?"

Jiang Si neatly folded the bank card and envelope and put them away. As he prepared to leave, the younger brother squatting on the ground suddenly stood up.

"You wait! The family assets aren't divided yet, where are you going! Where's Mom's body! As the eldest, aren't you even going to hold a funeral! Do you even have a conscience? Do you know what everyone calls you? Beast!"

Jiang Si turned his head, looking at the hysterical younger brother, "Mom's body, I threw it into the depths of the sea. If you're interested, go fish it out slowly."

"F..."

Before he could speak, seeing Jiang Si leave, the younger brother chased after him.

"You're really a damn beast!"

Waving his hand, Jiang Si ignored him.

He was almost done figuring out the principles of the Mental Landscape site.

Now he had no reason to stay here any longer.

Once he obtained the Mental Landscape, he could pretty much leave...

The younger brother behind him didn't speak either, just closed the room's door.

Quietly got into the car.

Then, when starting it, he waited until Jiang Si reached the alley entrance, rolled down the window, and roared:

"Jiang Si!"

He stomped the accelerator to the floor!

The car shot forward like a wild horse breaking free from its reins!

"Give my mom back to me!"

Cats and dogs in the alley barked wildly, clotheslines were sent flying, someone's underwear soared into the sky.

The aunt on the second floor screamed "Ahhhh," but was too scared to form complete words.

The shop owner and his daughter inside the store poked their heads out, then hurriedly closed the door. From another room nearby, a concerned uncle shouted, "Kid, run!"

Yet Jiang Si just turned sideways, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the small car speeding towards him for a collision.

Reached out, clenched his fist, and at the very moment the speeding car charged forward.

Smashed down fiercely!

A sharp, piercing screech of friction echoed through the entire alley!

Everyone closed their eyes. The shop owner and his daughter were even scared into falling, sitting on the ground, shrinking their heads.

But the tires skidded, the engine sputtered, and soon the vehicle stalled. The entire alley fell into silence.

The aunt on the second floor holding a basin of water was the first to open one eye and look over.

Then the people in the shop also peeked through their fingers.

They saw the car's hood completely crushed, the entire rear half of the car lifted into the air.

The front half of the car was even smashed into the ground...

The ground was punched into a deep crater, but due to the fierce momentum, it dragged a huge trench across the surface.

Everyone's eyes widened, necks stretched, looking at the youth in front of the car.

His right fist smashed into the hood, causing the entire rear half of the car to lift up.

Still maintaining his sideways stance, the cement road beneath his feet was also dragged into two deep trenches by him.

His calves were almost buried in the ground.

The entire small alley was dead silent.

Even the cats and dogs that had been barking incessantly nearby, as if sensing something now, just whimpered softly.

Seeming not daring to breathe out.

The bespectacled younger brother also stared dumbfounded at his own big brother.

Before, when Jiang Si suddenly went crazy at the funeral hall during their father's funeral and pulled out his own heart, although terrifying, that was him going insane himself. Though it was unclear why he didn't die later—maybe he used some kind of illusion trick at the time to scare the police away.

But the younger brother wasn't actually afraid, especially since Jiang Si later returned home a few times to get money from him.

Needing money meant he was human, nothing to be afraid of.

After all, they were related by blood, he was the big brother, he was the little brother, he should give way.

After all, he was human, after all, he was human...

After all...

Creak....

Amidst the sharp, piercing sound of twisting steel, Jiang Si pulled his hand out from the dented hood.

Then suddenly stomped on the hood again.

The entire car flew up!

Where is he!

The bespectacled brother couldn't even make a sound, his whole body trembling, wanting to open the car door and get out.

But the entire car was lifted so high that before he could even stand up, his whole body was pressed against the glass—he had gotten in the car in a hurry earlier and hadn't fastened his seatbelt properly.

But Jiang Si didn't make things difficult for him either. After punching through the car window, he grabbed his collar and pulled him out.

And this bespectacled younger brother cowered fearfully, his hands covering his face.

"I, I was wrong, sorry, brother, sorry..."

Jiang Si tilted his head, examining him.

There wasn't much disgust or hatred. In the other's terrified pupils, his own reflection was mirrored.

He had no interest in exploring how he looked in others' eyes. He just warned, "Don't bother me. Handle the remaining family assets however you want."

"Yes, yes, understood..."

Casually pulling him out of the car and throwing him aside, Jiang Si then set the car down flat.

As he turned to leave.

The bespectacled younger brother over there shouted again, "Big brother!"

Jiang Si paused slightly, so the bespectacled younger brother said, somewhat choked up:

"Do you know how others will see you?"

"Causing a scene at Dad's funeral, throwing Mom's body into the sea. Do you know what people will say about you? Not even attending the funeral, in others' eyes..."

Jiang Si crossed the road and, following yesterday's route, walked straight to the foot of the mountain.

There were slightly more tourists today. Jiang Si bought a bottle of water.

Yesterday's security guard was no longer there, which saved some trouble. Someone greeted him.

Jiang Si wasn't in the mood to pay attention. He just started walking up the mountain.

A mountain over a thousand meters high was even harder to climb than yesterday, maybe because there were more people.

But when he reached the summit, there was no one again.

Turning around, he could see people on the mountainside. Most had stopped at the rest area halfway up. Not many people had come today.

Maybe not a single one would reach the summit.

Turning back, Jiang Si continued upward.

Today's mountaintop was even more magnificent and vast.

Still overcast with dark clouds, no sun in sight.

But the seawater below churned more violently than yesterday, the surging waves seemed about to splash onto the mountaintop.

Feeling refreshed and joyful, Jiang Si stood at the highest point, looking at the spot where his mother had fallen yesterday.

The wheel marks from the wheelchair hadn't disappeared yet. The strong wind blew, but still couldn't submerge those wheel tracks.

The snow on the mountaintop was shallow, but still couldn't be blown away.

He took a deep breath and spread his arms.

The Miracle Seed in his hand still hadn't lit up, remaining dull gray.

He had been here for a long time, though he hadn't kept count.

But he could basically predict that currently, he was very likely the one who had stayed in the Mental Landscape site the longest in the entire history of the Disaster Control Bureau.

Jiang Si closed his eyes, feeling the final scenery of the mountaintop. He didn't know how long had passed when noise came from below.

The sound of police sirens, then helicopters, circling over the mountain peak.

From the helicopters, armed police warnings kept coming, the sound of guns being chambered.

Probably the intelligence about pulling out his heart in the main hall had spread too.

Jiang Si just listened quietly, then walked to the edge of the cliff.

The armed police angrily shouted at him, telling him to step back. The helicopter above revealed its gun barrels.

"Suspect Jiang Si! Please descend the mountain immediately and cooperate with the military investigation!"

Then armed police climbed up from below. He glanced over; among them were familiar faces mixed in.

That younger brother, and his wife.

"Killed his own mother?"

"Pushed his own mom into the sea?"

"Heard he also ruined his father's funeral?"

"Really defying heaven!"

"Beast!"

"Did his parents give birth to a dog?"

"Don't insult dogs. Dogs are more sensible than him."

"Can't stand it. I'm usually so filial to my parents, can't stand seeing people like this..."

Various insults and contempt.

The Miracle Seed was still grayish-white.

No mana.

No curse transcending reality.

Only this body trained to its Ultimate limits.

"Surrender immediately, descend the mountain and cooperate with the investigation..."

So many things piled together, as if it were a failed Mental Landscape site journey.

He took a deep breath, walked to the cliff where his mother had fallen, and then, took another step forward.

Stepped onto the air.

All the noise, all the clamor, began to grow distant and insignificant.

The youth turned his head, his calm yet weathered pupils gazing at everyone.

Looking at those misunderstandings, curses, humiliation, contempt, hostility...

In the end, he just smiled faintly.

"Merely."

He stepped forward again, walking into the sky, "A bit of wind and frost."

The Miracle Seed in his hand began to flash with purple light.

Brilliant as the blazing sun!

"Heaven and Earth are not humane."

As the helicopter circled over, the blazing purple sun surged with heat, roaring as it overturned the helicopter!

"Treating all things as straw dogs."

The purple sun ignited the sea, raging flames spreading all the way to the horizon.

The scorching flames set both the sea and sky ablaze, burning everything to ashes!

"So that's how it is."

The purple girl standing in the sky said serenely and joyfully.

"This is the Mental Landscape."

Reaching out, she gently clenched her hand.

The burning sky and sea appeared in her palm.

Eroding the world with her Personal Reality.

When there were no more restraints, the world became her Mental Landscape.

On the mountain peak, the younger brother stared dumbfounded as his brother became a sister... or perhaps it should be said, a younger sister. Clearly, at this distance, nothing could be seen clearly, nothing could be heard.

Yet that figure simply crossed all obstacles, ignoring space and distance, imprinting itself in his eyes!

He seemed to sense something and turned around, then saw that whether police, military, tourists, security guards, those on the mountain or below, even not just humans, things flying in the sky, walking on the ground, swimming in the sea, living beings, non-living things...

The stunned faces of all existing things, all identical, gazing up at the girl who seemed to hold the world in her grasp.

Then, all existence lost the ability to think.

"This is—"

Her lips parted slightly, immense mana shaking the torrent of reality.

Releasing her hand, as the burning sea and sky dissipated, her Personal Reality suddenly expanded.

Devouring heaven and earth!
