In the air, Aster's dress fluttered in the strong wind.

Aster has actually found her own reason. When she stood up for Claw and faced the two magical girls, she already knew her true heart.

She wanted to protect her family, it was that simple.

She failed to protect her biological parents back then, but now, she has her family again.

Whether it's Claw, Dad, or Mom, she doesn't want them to get hurt.

However, she is the weakest among the family members and not even a magical girl.

They didn't need her protection, so it seemed like she didn't need to be a magical girl.

She found a reason to become a magical girl, but lost another reason.

Moreover, after becoming a magical girl, she might have to face a father whose love for her father has deteriorated, and she doesn't want that.

Although she tacitly allowed Tang Feng to do anything to her, and would not stop him even if he really wanted to, she would eventually feel disappointed.

That's why she asked those questions.

When she gets the answer she wants, she will become a magical girl.

Because she already has everything ready, she just needs to take a step forward.

She wanted to protect her family, her father needed her protection now, and he promised that his love for her would not change. These reasons were enough.

After getting Tang Feng's affirmative answer, Ziyuan took the initiative to take that step.

The disaster beast has crossed the shallow sea and most of its body has floated above the water. In half a minute at most, it will officially come ashore.

Its shape was unlike any existing living creature, but more like a hybrid of fish and mammals. Aster could already see the deformed tumor on its body, which was bulging. Barnacles and water plants were crawling all over the gaps between its scales, and salty and fishy sea water was dripping from it.

This disaster beast was more powerful than any other one Ziyuan had ever seen before. The overwhelming momentum and oppression it brought with it seemed tangible, and the dense dark clouds in the sky even seemed to be suppressed a little.

Shiwan didn't feel any panic in her heart, because she was about to become a magical girl and she would have enough power to protect her family.

No matter how strong the enemy is, she will not retreat.

The gathering of the energy storm has reached its climax. The prototype of the gem on her heart is becoming more and more perfect, and it even begins to emit a faint glow.

That was the beginning of the gradual transformation of energy into entity.

When the heart gem is completely condensed, it will emit an incomparably dazzling light.

It is the most shining and charming light in the world.

Tang Feng was eagerly waiting for this moment.

All the lies and promises before were for the birth of this moment.

He would give everything for the first blossoming of a magical girl.

The gem's brilliance became brighter and brighter, and in a few more breaths, it would be completely completed.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

A ball of dark flame rose from Aster's body, and the girl in the air let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"!!!——"

The embryonic form of the Heart Gem gradually became flickering, but the energy storm did not end and continued to gather towards Aster's heart.

The black flames became more violent under the sweep of energy, as if they were going to devour the girl entirely.

Tang Feng rushed over as soon as the sudden change happened and caught the girl who was falling from the sky.

Ziyuan's delicate little face became a little distorted because of pain. Tang Feng saw fine black lines beginning to appear on her porcelain white skin. There was even living flesh and blood wriggling under the skin.

"Weirdo?"

Tang Feng clenched his fists and pressed hard into the void, completely extinguishing the black flames.

But Aster's transformation into a monster did not stop, and the magical girl's awakening process did not end either. The two formed an incompatible situation in Aster's body, constantly tearing her mind and body, causing her unimaginable intense pain, which caused the girl's screams.

It was the seed of that weirdo! The other party chose to explode at this time, directly using the huge energy brought by the awakening of the magical girl to take root and sprout completely!

Originally, it would take quite some time to expel this seed, but the other party seemed to know that it would be completely expelled by Tang Feng sooner or later, so it chose to activate it in advance.

And the timing was just right. Aster's best chance of awakening was completely disrupted by this seed.

Not only that, it seems that it really wants to turn Aster into a complete monster. It is constantly competing with the prototype of the Heart Gem for energy, and is gradually devouring the girl's flesh and blood, transforming into a monster.

"hehe……"

Tang Feng let out a creepy low laugh.

His expression looked frighteningly calm, but in reality his rage had already reached its peak.

Interfering with the awakening process of the magical girl is a hundred times more serious to him than the revenge for his father's death.

In his previous plan, once the other party activated the seed, he would be able to trace the source, which was the monster's hiding place, based on the backflow of magic power.

Now, he has indeed traced the source and firmly locked onto the opponent's location. No matter where the opponent flees, he cannot escape his lock.

Tang Feng can challenge the opponent for a decisive battle at any time. He has even seen the other party waiting leisurely.

But the situation at hand is more urgent. What happened to Aster is unprecedented. The magical girl's awakening and transformation into a monster are happening at the same time. This is unprecedented in the entire history of magic.

And she looked extremely painful, which made Tang Feng frown.

"roar!--"

The disaster beasts in the sea have landed on the beach, making deafening roars.

It noticed the fluctuations of magical power emanating from this side, and its desire to kill increased. It pounced towards the two at a heavy but extremely fast speed.

"roll!"

Tang Feng was in no mood to pay attention to this disaster beast. He let out a loud shout and increased his output power to the maximum.

It was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. The disaster beast had no time to react to the roar. Its huge body was shattered into pieces, turning into fine powder like the yellow sand on the beach and scattered in the air.

If this disaster beast had intelligence, it would definitely not understand how an S-level beast could be turned into powder after just one drink.

Tang Feng's attention was always focused on Ziyuan, and this powerful disaster beast could not distract him at all.

He looked at the two distinct forces within Aster's body. The black energy was constantly devouring the energy on the other side and had clearly gained the upper hand.

As for Aster, she was being torn apart by these two energies, and her entire body was about to be torn apart.

Tang Feng reached out his hand to Ziyuan, and his third-party energy intervened in the battlefield, trying to expel the black energy.

But his intervention made the situation even more chaotic.

He tried desperately to resist the energy from the enemy monster, and the energy from the magical girl also began to attack him. Aster's body was in chaos.

In fact, Tang Feng had another way. He could use his absolute magical advantage to drive out both energies regardless of friend or foe.

Although these two energy levels are high, they are rootless, while he himself is alive here and has an absolute power advantage.

But he couldn't do that. Not to mention that this would completely reset Aster's awakening process, more importantly, the final explosion of several forces would directly tear Aster into pieces.

Compared to Aster's awakening, Tang Feng has to prioritize saving her life.

He really didn't want her to die.

Even for Chuzhan, whom he values ​​the most, her life may not be as important as Ziyuan's at this moment.

Tang Feng felt that his long-held beliefs had been severely challenged. No, this was very wrong. Magical girls were obviously what he cared about the most, so why would a girl who was not a magical girl make him worried?

Aster will have a chance to awaken in the future, so it doesn't matter if she fails once, Tang Feng comforted himself in this way. He only values ​​Aster's potential as a magical girl, and doesn't really think she is important. What's important is being a magical girl.

Tang Feng convinced himself with this reason.

After confirming that his determination would not be shaken, Tang Feng decided to prioritize saving Ziyuan's life.

But this is easier said than done.

Tang Feng knew very early on that the weirdo who planted this seed was at the same level as himself.

Only after reaching a certain height and undergoing a qualitative change in the level of life, will one be qualified to sow seeds through the flesh and blood of monsters and gain more subjects.

These weirdos are collectively called "Emperor".

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Because only the emperor is worthy of having his own people.

The emperor's subjects can only submit to him unconditionally, as he can take their lives in an instant with just a thought.

Tang Feng got rid of his emperor for special reasons.

Even killed the other party in the end.

Today, he has already become an emperor, and the other party is able to sow seeds, and is also a true "emperor".

Their energy levels are comparable, but Tang Feng is at home and can use his absolute magical advantage to drive out the other side.

But before that, Aster would not be able to bear it and would be completely torn apart by several distinct magical powers.

"Dad, am I going to die?..." Ziyuan opened her eyes slightly. Even in the face of such intense pain, she tried her best to stay calm. After the first scream, she clenched her teeth and endured it all.

"You won't die." Tang Feng controlled his emotions and comforted in the softest voice.

"But Dad, you lied to me..."

The weak remaining consciousness of Ziyuan saw Tang Feng's actions just now and knew that his magic power was not sealed.

The first sentence was deceiving her, but what about the rest?

"So you really want to do that to me... You never really treated me as your daughter..."

Ziyuan spoke calmly without showing any disappointment, or rather, her little face could not contain any expression except pain.

She closed her eyes gently, "But I already regard you as my father..."

Yes, Ziyuan has already regarded Tang Feng as a family member from the bottom of her heart, otherwise she would not have been able to awaken just now.

The source of magical girls' power comes from the deepest part of their souls, and they cannot deceive their own hearts.

Inside Aster, the power generated by the awakening of the magical girl is in danger.

The black energy seemed to have found an opportunity and began to attack violently, as if to completely devour the energy on the other side.

When it completes the devouring, Aster will completely turn into a monster and become a subject of that emperor.

A hint of viciousness emerged on Tang Feng's face. He would never allow things to get to that point. If Ziwan really became the other party's person in the end, he would kill her without hesitation. Or before that, he would directly use his own energy to invade and turn Ziwan into pieces under the explosion of several forces. This would be better than the other party controlling Ziwan to disgust him.

But why are his hands shaking slightly? Didn't he hesitate? If we analyze rationally, if he really can't save Aster, killing her is the most rational choice, why is he hesitating now? Does he really have a different feeling for this girl? Isn't his obsession with the magical girl?

If Shiyuan turned into a monster, she would completely lose the possibility of becoming a magical girl. Faced with this result, why was he still reluctant to do it? Tang Feng knew that he could not deceive himself anymore. The reason he had just used to convince himself had been proven to be invalid in today's reality.

He truly had something other than an obsession with magical girls.

He has become unclean and impure.

Suddenly, a thunder exploded in Tang Feng's heart.

Isn't this exactly why he left Kyoto?

This seemed to be exactly what he had been thinking and looking for.

Beyond the weirdo's obsession.

This is what he once promised Sakura.

Although Tang Feng couldn't be sure if this was the case, he could now go back to see her with this question.

Without thinking any more, Tang Feng suddenly hugged Ziyuan and held her tightly in his arms.

"I admit it."

"I really didn't treat you as my daughter. I lost in this respect."

"I've always thought about how to turn you into a magical girl. How... I admit it."

"But." Tang Feng emphasized, "After these days, I have come to regard you as an inseparable part of me. I will not allow you to die without permission."

"Maybe I didn't treat you as my daughter, but you are still very important. I swear, even if you don't become a magical girl in the end, I won't blame you. You have done a great job."

"You have always been very smart, with sharp eyes and very thorough insights. I think you should be able to tell whether there is true emotion in this?"

As Tang Feng spoke, he lowered his head and gave the girl a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

This kiss did not contain any other desires, only the purest emotion, but Tang Feng did not have the time to figure out which kind it was.

He hugged the girl's slender body and looked at her pale face covered with cold sweat. "So, don't give up, okay? As long as you don't give up, I will try my best to save you."

Ziyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, she opened her eyes, and met Tang Feng's eyes that seemed to contain infinite stars.

She stared for a long time, and finally smiled.

"Save me, Dad."

The girl tried to hug Tang Feng's waist, but she failed in the end. Her arms hung down limply, and under her cracked skin, fresh flesh and blood crawled like earthworms.

"Actually, I'm scared. I don't want to die..." The girl's voice, which was always as calm as water, finally trembled a little. "I don't want to die, Dad, save me..."

She finally found her family again, and she didn't want to leave this world so early.

"You won't die." Tang Feng held the girl's slender and weak hand tightly, "I swear."

He could feel that the moment the girl burst out with the will to survive, the energy of the magical girl began to counterattack and was reoccupying the territory eroded by the monster's energy.

Aster won't turn into a complete weirdo.

But the most fundamental problem has not been solved yet, and the two energies are still fighting fiercely. If this continues, Aster will be the first to collapse.

Tang Feng frowned. He needed the intervention of energy from a higher life level to break this situation. Otherwise, he could only rely on his brute force to end it.

But is there a higher level of energy in this world? Suddenly, Tang Feng remembered something.

He hit his abdomen hard, "pop!" An irregularly shaped particle flew out of Tang Feng's stomach. Tang Feng pinched it with two fingers and caught it in mid-air.

He held the fingernail-sized crystal in his hand, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.
