You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

After this trial, Maria has barely managed to pave the way for a path beyond S-rank Valkyrie.

This should have been a happy and joyful occasion, but seeing this scene in the Golden Courtyard filled her with a deep and indescribable sadness.

One group of heroes is about to leave the paradise of the past and be reborn, while another group of heroes can only remain in the paradise of the past forever...

"Aunt Maria, Delta, you're out?"

Sirin jumped for joy and ran into Maria's arms, then told Maria and Delta the whole story.

Maria didn't say much, but took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Delta's gaze swept around before finally settling on Kosmo, who was known as "Dawn."

Although Kosmo is a fusion warrior, the Honkai Beast DNA he fused with is that of "Vishnu," which has unlimited growth potential, giving him the ability to absorb Honkai Beasts a second time, which is somewhat similar to Delta.

However, Delta's improvement has no upper limit, while Kosmo's improvement is limited by his own body.

As Kosmo continues to absorb Honkai Beasts, his body will gradually become "saturated".

Once the "saturation" limit is exceeded, he will completely turn into a "monster".

At this moment, Kosmo stood beside Gretchen, like a loyal "knight".

Qianjie stayed quietly in the corner, seemingly adjusting to his resurrected body, but in reality, he was staring intently at Angeline.

Ever since he learned that Angeline was the "Herrscher of the End," he had wanted to fight her, but each time he was forcibly stopped by Aponia with "commandments."

As for Aponia...

She sat on the guest sofa, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, looking as if she were praying devoutly.

In contrast, Mebius has been looking irritable ever since the heroes gathered at the Golden Court.

"...Why hasn't Alicia arrived yet?"

“Mebius, Alicia went to that place.”

Su responded.

"..."

Mebius knew where Sue meant by "that place," so he said nothing more and patiently waited for Alicia to return.

The group didn't have to wait long before Alicia returned to the Golden Garden.

However, compared to when she left, Alicia now not only has a cute camera in her hand, but also a petite girl floating beside her.

—Perhaps it shouldn't be called a "person".

The other person looks like a smaller version of Alicia, even cuter.

In addition, she was dressed in an adorable dress and was holding a magic wand that was larger than her body, making her look like a "magical girl".

Behind her, there was a pair of pure white "cloud wings," which undoubtedly added to her adorable charm.

At least, Celine stared at her intently, clearly deeply attracted to her.

The next second, Sirin tore through the purple hole and instantly left Maria's side. When she reappeared, she was already next to Alicia.

"Sister Alicia, what is this?"

Sirin stared intently at "miniature Alicia".

Alicia gave a mysterious smile but did not answer Sirin.

On the contrary, "Little Alicia" flew to Sirin and introduced herself with a smile after hearing that Sirin had asked about her.

"Hello, lovely humans—I am Airi, a fairy from the Land of Celestial Music!"

"Hello! I'm Sirin, and I'm also a magical girl!"

Before she finished speaking, Sirin displayed her magical girl form.

A pure white magic dress replaced her original clothes, filling her with a fairytale-like dreamlike quality.

The fairy Ellie's eyes widened suddenly, seeing this scene for the first time.

Besides the fairy Ellie, Gretsch is also attracted to Sirin in her magical girl form.

"……so beautiful."

Greta gripped her paintbrush in her right hand, staring intently at Sirin, her eyes filled with longing and envy.

"Ta-da! Magical Girl Sirin—makes her dazzling entrance!"

Xilin revealed a playful and lovely smile. As her skirt swayed, a ripple of starry sky could be vaguely seen, twinkling with hundreds of brilliant stars.

—Each ray of starlight corresponds to a magical girl.

Chapter 327 A Group Photo of Heroes

Sirin is at her most confident when she takes on the form of a magical girl.

As the skirts fluttered, the glittering stars outlined a dreamlike starry sky, seemingly painting the entire Golden Courtyard, making the dome of the Golden Courtyard faintly reflect the dreamlike starry sky.

The fairy Ellie stared at this scene in disbelief.

Compared to Sirin's magical girl persona, her "setting" of coming from the "fairy kingdom" seems somewhat inferior.

Apart from the fairy Ellie, all the heroes present keenly sensed just how terrifying the power Sirin possessed at this moment was.

Sirin's "The Law of Cycles" is not only the origin of magical girls, but it is also enhanced by the number of magical girls.

Furthermore, the "The Law of Cycles" also governs the many Herrscher cores that Sirin possesses, allowing her to freely integrate Herrscher powers into magical girl abilities.

The most noticeable manifestation is that when Sirin draws the bowstring, all the Herrscher Cores she possesses will project and swirl around her like a dazzling constellation of stars.

"Wow! Cute human, how did you become a magical girl?"

"Hmph~"

Sirin smiled smugly and then began to extoll Qiu Bi's "contract" ability.

When Mebius heard that the "Monster Resurrection" card was created by Qiu Bi, he couldn't help but lower his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright~ Before we leave the Paradise of the Past, shall we all take a group photo?"

Alicia chuckled as she interrupted Sirin's long-winded speech, raising her camera to signal to the crowd.

The heroes had no objection to this, and even the usually aloof Angeline closed her books and looked for a suitable place to stand.

As if they had discussed it beforehand, the heroes tacitly reserved the front seats for Celine, Angeline, Maria, and Delta.

Without any hesitation, Celine held Angeline's hand with her left hand and Maria's arm with her right, standing at the front with a big smile, looking directly at the cute-looking camera.

Delta, completely disregarding her image, was tearing apart the remains of a Breakthrough-class Honkai Beast.

Kevin and Sue's expressions and movements remained unchanged as they stood silently in the last row.

Although Qianjie was very impatient, he still obediently stood in the last row.

Sakura, Hua, and Mebius all stood on the other side, displaying faint smiles.

Vilvie and Padofelis stood behind Sirin, the former with a mysterious smile, while the latter happily made a "V" sign.

Gretchen held a paintbrush in her right hand, her cheek seemingly smeared with paint, making her look a little strange.

However, she seemed to be drawn to Delta, not only standing next to Delta but also staring at her blankly.

Kosmo stood guard next to Gretchen, somewhat wary of Delta.

When facing Delta, he unusually felt as if he were facing a "natural enemy".

Alicia was fiddling with the camera, while the fairy Ali was anxiously urging Alicia on.

"Okay, stop rushing me. I've already set up the automatic photo-taking program..."

As they were talking, Alicia jogged over to Angelin's other side.

The fairy Ellie complained and followed Elise to the group.

Three seconds later, accompanied by a series of "click" sounds, the camera took dozens of photos in succession.

Celine snapped her fingers, a purple hole flashed by, and a camera instantly appeared in her hand.

Alicia and the fairy Ali came over and helped Sirin choose photos.

"Sister Xilin, Sister Aili, I want to watch too!"

Padoflis squeezed between Sirin, Alicia, and the fairy Ali, excitedly joining the discussion.

Sakura was also interested in taking photos, but she didn't join the discussion. Instead, she sat patiently on the fabric sofa and waited.

On a whim, Gretchen suddenly felt like painting, so she stood at the entrance to the Land of the Dead and placed her easel in front of everyone.

Kosmo silently stayed by Gretsch's side, watching her paint.

Before long, Sirin, Alicia, the fairy Ali, and Padofelis selected the best-looking group photo from among many pictures.

Then, with a thought, Xilin conjured up that photograph out of thin air.

"Sister Sirin, what kind of ability is this? Is it the 'magic' of a magical girl?"

"No. This is the power of the Herrscher of Reason, which directly created a photograph."

Xilin solemnly stored the first group photo in the imaginary space, and then began to mass-produce photos.

The fairy Ellie happily distributed the numerous group photos created by Sirin everywhere, giving almost everyone two or three photos.

"Cirin, when are we leaving Paradise?"

Alicia took the initiative to ask.

Celine frowned and thought for a few seconds before replying, "In a little while. Celine needs to contact Aurora and Agata first and ask them to come and pick us up."

Immediately, Sirin contacted Aurora and Agatha, forcing the two girls, who were about to return to Academy City, to change their plans and head instead to the World Serpent's base where Paradise was located.

As for the magical girls, they returned to Academy City on their own and did not leave with Aurora and Agatha.

……

About half an hour later, as if sensing something, Xilin suddenly got up and walked towards the exit of the Paradise of the Dead.

Seeing this, Angeline, Maria, and Delta all knew that Aurora and Agatha had arrived, so they all got up and followed Sirin.

Without Xilin needing to explicitly remind them, the heroes all realized this.
