Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

She reached out her hand, looked at the next corpse, and hesitated slightly.

It's like when you were a child, reaching out your hand and waiting for a shot—a greater fear and anxiety.

Taking a deep breath, Coco suppressed her emotions and reached out to touch the next corpse.

"I've come to negotiate with you..."

"Let's discuss the terms..."

"The condition is..."

As they made their way through the thousands of corpses, almost all of them were saying just one sentence.

He only uttered one sentence before dying at the hands of the Beast of the End.

Death can take many forms, and fear and pain constantly stimulated her nerves in a dynamic way.

The Beast of the End knows how to amplify the torment of death to an unbearable degree for humans. For that monster, this may not be a specially learned skill, but rather a wild beast's hunting instinct.

For some reason, the power of the Beast of the End vaguely reminded Coco of Teacher Shion.

They're all the same, incomprehensible, and endless.

She had touched countless corpses, yet the pain of death could never numb her.

The feeling of leaving this world in the final moment, losing control of your body, and falling into a cold abyss is like drowning; no matter how many times you try, you will instinctively want to struggle.

But opening your mouth only results in a large amount of cold water being poured in, causing you to struggle and fall even faster.

The real death kept echoing in her brain. If she weren't a magical girl, she might have already suffered brain death just by experiencing these things—even a magical girl's brain actually stopped working several times.

We have to stop, we absolutely have to stop, or we might die...

Until she touched the crucial corpse.

The different voices cheered her up.

"There is no future! Only by going back to the past can you create an opponent who can rival you."

"This is the last world."

"Once you destroy this place, you'll be forever trapped in nothingness!"

She saw the dark, phantom with countless eyes finally pause for a moment.

It did not kill itself immediately.

"Close your eyes! As long as you don't focus on the future, there are endless possibilities for us!"

Coco heard a sneer, and then her vision was plunged into darkness once again.

What do you mean?

Coco, regaining her senses, remained dazed for a moment, her pupils dilated, and she gagged twice.

The heart, lungs, and even the stomach and intestines are all spasming.

Lying among the corpses, she sometimes felt as if she were one of them, along with the other Cocos, gazing into the distance with resentment and desperation.

My body has become so abnormal that I can hardly feel myself living anymore.

Even after de-transforming and re-transforming to refresh the state, the pain and fear that seemed etched into the soul could not disappear.

But we must keep watching, keep watching, to see what we really need to do and what we can do.

Coco is a magical girl.

It's been decided.

To bring happiness to everyone and make up for the mistakes I made in the past, I absolutely cannot run away from my responsibilities. The fact that so many of my own corpses are here proves that this is my responsibility...

She struggled to her feet, a bitter taste rising in her stomach, and reached out to touch the corpse.

I instinctively flinched.

My hands were trembling uncontrollably, out of fear, out of dread of the death that was to come.

Even the body's instincts are refusing to continue touching the corpse and experiencing death.

Coco closed her eyes, thinking of her parents who had turned into pieces because of her, her older brother, and Yinlian.

He suppressed his body's inexplicable survival instinct and pressed his hand down.

However, most of the conversations are meaningless dialogues like "I'm here to negotiate with you."

From countless deaths, they searched for useful information.

Finally, when Coco was gagging until she bled, as if she was going to vomit up her internal organs, and was writhing in pain on the corpse, she finally came across new and useful information!

"Aren't you very interested in Iris? Once this world ends, Iris will also disappear. You will never find such an interesting magical girl again, because in the end you will only face nothingness. As long as you close your eyes, through countless reincarnations, Iris may grow to your level. She can understand you and even bring you answers."

"Even without her, there will be other magical girls who can satisfy you!"

This time, the Beast of the End did not kill her immediately; one of its eyes slowly closed.

She didn't die, but Coco pulled out a dagger and pointed it at her own neck.

"I assure you, a competitor who will satisfy you will definitely appear, absolutely!"

The sharp dagger pierced his throat, causing a suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe, and the pain of choking on blood entering his trachea.

Coco woke up coughing violently. She covered her throat and kept scratching it, as if trying to pull out the foreign object in her throat, almost scratching her neck until it bled.

It took a long time for Coco to adjust to the lingering pain before she stared at the other corpses with fear and trepidation.

No, what comes next? That's the key part...

Just as she was about to continue touching it, other people suddenly barged in, making Coco finally stop.

Then she turned her head and glanced over there.

A surge of suppressed emotions welled up in my chest.

"Brother?"

Coco actually felt incredibly strong, capable of enduring so much pain, and worthy of the name "magical girl," even after seeing her older brother.

For a moment, she almost felt like she was going to turn back into that little girl who couldn't do anything and could only blame others.

She has faced death countless times, each time alone, without anyone to rely on. The helplessness and anxiety of having to save the world alone is something I can almost completely empathize with.

So much so that when she saw her brother, her first thought was to rush over, hug him, and cry in his arms.

Home is where her brother is. Along the way, she really wanted to go home and snuggle in her own little bed.

They expressed their grievances and pain.

But Coco quickly managed to hold back.

On the one hand, she had cried a lot; on the other hand, she had experienced death countless times and made countless resolutions.

It was as if every version of herself who had died in the past was pulling her back, urging her not to continue being a little girl who only knew how to hide behind her older brother...

We must have this kind of awareness.

"Brothers, what are you doing here?"

She frantically wiped away her tears, not wanting her brother to see her weakness, and then looked at Black Cocoa. "Why did you bring my brother here? This place has nothing to do with him!"

"Fool."

Black Coco scratched her head helplessly, looking at her other self, "You didn't come all the way here by looting corpses, did you?"

"What's it to you?"

"Even I wouldn't do something so reckless, you know? If you really want to know, I can just tell you."

Coco stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, the painful memories of the torture she had endured resurfacing. Although they filled her with fear and made her hesitant, they still compelled her to keep going. "No, I can't."

Black Coco looked at her, "Why not?"

"Your words are too frivolous." Coco clutched her chest, sniffed, and although the pain still made her voice tremble slightly, her tone remained firm.

“It’s not enough to just tell their stories; I must remember them deeply. Only then can I be Coco, the real Coco who will never lose to anyone of my own!”

That's why I said you're an idiot.

After a moment of silence, Hei Keke chuckled and changed the subject, then hugged Jiang Si's arm, "Alright then, you can go be the real Keke, Brother Jiang Si, I'll gladly accept you."

"Stay away from my brother! You imposter!"

Seeing that the two Cocos were about to fight, Jiang Si punched the black Coco on the forehead and said, "Shut up."

Why are you only hitting me?!

"Because I'm your brother."

Black Cocoa blinked.

Then he smiled somewhat awkwardly, even letting go of Jiang Si's arm and creating some distance before casually replying, "Oh."

Numerous thoughts and ideas, including those unbearably lonely memories from the past, surged up.

Although most of what they said was a lie, it was all done in order to achieve a more favorable outcome for themselves.

But she never had the chance to see her parents again.

Having been alone for so long, always facing the extraordinary alone, constantly falling to the bottom of the cliff, shattering to pieces, with no one to remember me and no one to comfort me.

She must stand in front of everyone, shield the Beast of Destruction, and forge a new future...

How annoying! This kind of affectionate nickname, even though we usually call each other that casually like it's a joke and it doesn't seem like a big deal.

But if you suddenly become serious...

It's really hard not to waver.

Could this guy actually be quite good at winning girls' hearts? Black Coco wondered, then looked at the unwilling Coco, "Why aren't you calling anymore?"

"Whatever," Coco muttered, "This cold war has been going on for more than a day or two. Starting today, it's going to continue until you disappear. I'm not going to listen to my brother anymore..."

Just as Hei Keke was about to make a joke, Jiang Si said, "Come here, Keke."

Before Coco could finish speaking, she had already obediently walked up to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si casually took out a tissue and wiped her face, then pinched her nose with her hand and said, "Blow hard."

After wiping her nose clean, I pinched her ear and twisted it, saying, "Who told you to run around by yourself?"
