Amidst everyone's confusion, Jibril took several deep breaths, finally stabilizing her emotions and organizing her words coherently.
Jibril: "Master wasn't joking just now. You'll know if you look at Madoka's power level."
Upon hearing this, a curious Rin Tohsaka immediately did as she was told. While clicking, she muttered to herself.
Rin Tohsaka: "What, did Madoka finally escape the bottom of the barrel, surpass Miss Kisara, and become the second-to-last in our group?"
Even with her vast imagination, the most she could envision was Madoka growing stronger to Tier 1, or perhaps Tier 2 or 3.
Kanae: "She must have received a blessing from Lord Su Mo, just like I did, right?"
As someone with experience, Kanae thought the same. If she received Lord Su Mo's grace like she had, ascending to a nation-destroying Tier 3, comparable to gods and buddhas, or even higher, didn't seem too difficult.
Although, given Madoka's age, even if she did receive it, she could probably only handle a little, just like Kanao. Plus, Lord Su Mo was very gentle; he probably wouldn't fill her belly completely.
But after all, Lord Su Mo had stayed in Madoka's world for a month. If he was willing, it wouldn't be difficult to raise Madoka to a planet-destroying Tier 5. It was just that, given the situation in Madoka's world, such immense power might not be necessary.
Erica: "Didn't Lord Su Mo say before that Madoka's world wasn't simple? Maybe because of Lord Su Mo, Madoka encountered an opportunity and became the magical girl she always dreamed of or something."
Everyone knew little about Madoka's world, but they knew it was a peaceful one, so even when discussing a power-up, no one thought too much about it.
It wasn't until Rin Tohsaka clicked on Madoka's profile and was struck by the same shock as Jibril that the members of the chat group gradually fell into a strange silence.
Shiroyasha: "Hm? Why have you all stopped talking?"
Shiroyasha: "Didn't you say you were going to check her profile?"
Seeing everyone say they were going to check, and then fall silent one by one, the white-haired loli was extremely confused.
A few seconds later, Rin Tohsaka let out a world-shaking roar in the group.
Rin Tohsaka: "TIER 8, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Erica: "TIER 8, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
March 7th: "TIER 8, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The chat group quickly fell into formation.
Shiroyasha: "Hey, have you guys lost your minds? Is your reaction time that long?"
The white-haired loli was even more astonished.
Shiroyasha: "Still surprised by this now... Isn't it normal for Su Mo to ascend to Tier 8?"
At this moment, she conveniently forgot her own shock from earlier. But soon, she would recall the shock of having her common sense shattered.
Rin Tohsaka: "No, I'm not talking about Lord Su Mo."
Seeing Shiroyasha's question, the twin-tailed loli shook her head, her tone was faint.
Rin Tohsaka: "I'm talking about Madoka."
Rin Tohsaka: "You might not believe it, but Madoka is also Tier 8."
Rin Tohsaka: "Screenshot.JPG."
This was something no one had expected. The moment everyone found out, their brains exploded, including the current Shiroyasha.
Shiroyasha: "Madoka? Tier 8? What are you talking about? Even if you're repeating Su Mo's joke, it's not as effective the second time... Wait, is this for real?"
The white-haired loli jumped up, looking at Su Mo in disbelief.
All this time, she had been the second strongest in the group. She never thought that this title would be snatched away one day, and by Madoka of all people.
Shiroyasha: "This isn't scientific! Or mythological! If I remember correctly, Madoka was just a Tier 0 ordinary person before, right?"
The leap from Tier 0 to Tier 8 was a whole nine steps. She couldn't understand how an ordinary person could undergo such a world-altering change in just one month. "Ascending to heaven in a single step" wasn't even enough to describe this change.
Rin Tohsaka: "If our brains haven't collectively broken down, then you remember correctly."
The twin-tailed loli's expression had gone completely numb from the excessive shock.
Rin Tohsaka: "At least, before Lord Su Mo went to Madoka's world, I checked once. Madoka was still Tier 0 then, and now..."
This had already gone beyond the scope of "fearing your sisters suffering, but also fearing them driving a Land Rover." [T/N: A Chinese internet slang expressing the complicated feeling of wanting your friends to do well, but not so well that it makes you jealous.]
With Su Mo's favor, she could understand Madoka ascending by one or two tiers, maybe even four or five. But Tier 8... even Su Mo himself was only at that level.
What kind of love potion did Madoka feed Su Mo? It couldn't be that she married Lord Su Mo, got half his cultivation base, and then divorced him, right?
Rin Tohsaka: "Madoka, don't you think you need to explain yourself?"
The twin-tailed loli decided to ask the person herself.
Madoka: "Ehehe~"
Seeing that she had been discovered and couldn't hide any longer, Madoka tried to bluff her way through.
Rin Tohsaka: "Ehehe your head! Spit it out!"
The others had also come back to their senses.
Erica: "So, what exactly happened? Even if Lord Su Mo has always been generous, he wouldn't give this much of a blessing, would he?"
Kanae: "Could it be that Lord Su Mo has a special preference for Madoka's type?"
No, that's not right! Lord Su Mo seemed to like Kanao back then too, but he didn't dote on her to this extent! And giving multiverse-level power to a child like Madoka, won't it affect her growth?
Everyone was a bit confused. If they didn't know Madoka's situation, they would have suspected she was some kind of hidden final boss.
Faced with everyone's questions, Madoka didn't try to bluff this time, but answered obediently and honestly.
Madoka: "Actually, it's just as everyone guessed. It was purely a blessing from Big Brother Su Mo."
No matter how Su Mo saw it, in Madoka's heart, this opportunity was entirely guided and won for her by Su Mo, so she naturally attributed all the credit to him.
This reason was similar to what the chat group had thought, but it clearly didn't answer their questions.
Rin Tohsaka: "Could it be that Lord Su Mo really has a special preference for Madoka's type? Damn it, do I have to wait a few more years to grow up!"
She looked down at her slender body. It was very youthful, yes, but Madoka didn't seem much better off than her.
Jibril: "So, I need to improve my loli form. Is Master's strike zone around eleven and twelve years old?"
The Flügel girl, on the other hand, started researching unorthodox methods. She could control her own body, so adjusting her size was not a difficult matter for her.
Kanae: "I don't think so. I don't think so. Kanao and Shinobu are in a similar age range. Could it be that Lord Su Mo prefers pink hair?"
Jibril: "But I have pink hair too! Does it have to be those childish twin-tails?"
Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the group shifted to a discussion of Su Mo's preferences.
Even Shiroyasha, after hearing the discussion, couldn't help but shoot Su Mo a complicated look, hesitating whether she should try adjusting her body size on the spot.
Faced with this trend of everyone wanting to go loli, Su Mo quickly spoke up to stop them.
Su Mo: "Don't misunderstand. Madoka's power is the reward she deserves. In fact, thanks to Madoka, I was able to ascend to the multiverse domain in the best possible way this time."
As soon as he said this, the confusion in everyone's hearts finally managed to suppress their curiosity about Su Mo's preferences.
Rin Tohsaka: "A deserved... reward?"
