you have made a Google play system update and not an ota firmware update. after the google play system update you do not need to go to the magisk manager and flash magiks in the inactive slot you can only do this after an ota firmware update. but since you did this with the google update, you switched from the active slot to the inactive slot, you have to switch to the other slot by fastboot, then the box should boot again.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this answer!

If anyone's reading this because you got a bootloop due to a Google Play Services update, this could be the reason why. I was soft-bricked because Google Play Services decided to push an update to the latest version even though I intentionally did not update my Pixel 3 firmware to the latest build (wanted to stay on Android 10 but update for was for 11).

If this is you, and you have an unlocked bootloader, go ahead and OTA to the latest firmware (be sure to remove the "-w" flag in the flash-all.bat file to prevent a data wipe!). The bootloop will fix and you'll be able to boot correctly. You'll have to re-flash Magisk again, but at least you'll be able to recover your files.
