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

"Who are you!"

"I am the magical girl Chiba... Sorry, I'm used to it. My name is Chiba. I was the first magical girl, but I'm not a magical girl anymore. After all, I've grown up and I don't believe in miracles anymore. You, Shion, and even the other magical girls are all my students and successors."

Coco actually noticed it as soon as she made contact.

This guy's magical power is actually even deeper than Shion-sensei's!

If Coco used to have trouble distinguishing Shion-sensei from others, and didn't have a deep understanding of Shion-sensei's magical power...

Having personally controlled Shion-sensei's body, she knew better than anyone just how terrifying Shion-sensei's magical power was.

But there are limits.

Although most people can't reach that level, Coco has tried to touch that limit.

But Chiba before me possesses limitless magical power.

"The number one magical girl..."

"Yes, back then, the civilization called me a god. You can also pray to me to grant you the power to defeat Violet."

Coco neither refused nor agreed, but calmly sized up the other person, "You are no longer a magical girl."

Chiba skipped and hopped, leading Coco to the withered leaf.

Coco then noticed that the Golden Calamity Dragon King was tightly clutching the leaf.

Although it is far from the World Tree, and in a region where it confronts the World Tree.

Yet it remains on the branches of the World Tree.

"Although I am no longer a magical girl, I can still control a part of the magical girl's power. Even though I have completely given it up, it is still the power that was born from me."

Chiba patiently explained, then touched the decaying leaf again, "So aren't you curious? Why did your teacher Shion suddenly go berserk, wanting to destroy the world and kill all the magical girls? What is this decaying world leaf? And will it fall?"

Even if I ask you a question, I can't believe your answer.

The girl in the long black dress then looked somewhat aggrieved. "I never lie. Unless you ask, my answer to your question will definitely be true."

While Coco was silent, Chiba scratched his head and then pointed at the egg that Coco was holding with his finger.

The egg, still containing Hibiscus's soul, should have been dormant, but suddenly cried out, "Damn it, who is this? Don't take my spot! Get out of here!"

"Oh dear, I didn't want to either! Could you move aside for a moment? I have something important to do..."

Coco was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Black Cocoa!"

Then the voice from inside the eggshell became clear again, even merging into her personal reality, and resounding directly in her mind, "That's right, it's me, Old Ji. I'm back, hehe, didn't expect that, did you? I crawled out of hell!"

"Didn't you escape and survive back then?"

"I lost the fight back then, and without your personal support, I couldn't have survived at all. I was wiped out after running away for a short time. But later I put all my abilities into you, so there's no need to worry..."

Coco was also stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be just like what the Witch Association and the Disaster Management Bureau had advertised.

The president of the Witch Guild is really dead.

She had always thought that Black Cocoa had simply gone into hiding.

But upon suddenly learning this news, I didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Without the backdrop of sadness over her death, there's no way to feel happy about her resurrection.

I just feel a bit confused.

"Alright, alright, this is such a touching reunion of ourselves, can we talk about it later? Our focus right now is saving the world."

Chiba interrupted their conversation, and Black Coco stammered, "I, I... damn it..."

It took Black Coco a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence:

"Aren't you the King of Hell?"

"Whose King Yama was a magical girl and is so cute? You're talking so strangely. The reason I spared you back then was so that you could help explain things to Coco in this situation."

Chiba tapped the egg. "What are you going to do now? Why hasn't the world decayed and withered away even though it's so rotten?"

“Of course, it is because I have spent countless reincarnations to maintain the world in its current state.” Black Coco said without hesitation, “This world should have faced destruction long ago, or rather, it has already been destroyed.”

Destruction is a future that has already happened.

Rather than a future that is bound to happen.

"I just keep starting over, leaving it in this shaky state, hoping to find a chance to save the world and everyone, to find that perfect timeline."

“But it’s all in vain,” Chiba continued. “Because the source has already dried up. Even if you fill it with the source of other worlds, the new world will still be dead. On the contrary, because you never let the new world wither, the subsequent new main world could not be born. Furthermore, because of your thirty million reincarnations, Shi Xin and her magical girls found an opportunity…”

Because they are both magical girls who use time-manipulation abilities, Shi Xin somehow managed to retain her memories.

This is what allowed them to successfully remove the branch.

However, it wasn't a big problem. Chiba changed the subject, "And after Shion came to the World Tree, she naturally learned about this matter. This is a world that was already destroyed, and everything she did was just to prolong its life."

Do you think she will accept these things?

Both Cocoa and Black Cocoa fell silent.

Shion could not accept this.

Without much thought, the two of them arrived at the answer simultaneously.

"Shion is an honest person. As she herself said, she wants to gather the power of all magical girls, step into a higher realm, and create a new future. She didn't lie to you. That's her purpose. Because the existence of magical girls is just a burden to the decaying world. Rather than quietly waiting for the world to be destroyed, she prefers to save the world in her own way."

Chiba analyzed the reason for Shion's madness for the two of them, "That's how strong people are. They only believe in themselves and gather all the magical girl power into themselves for a final gamble, which is what she calls, uh, a grand sacrifice to the world, to rape the whole world with her own will. That's her style of doing things."

Black Cocoa asked, "You know her so well?"

“Because that’s the way I came from,” Chiba said nonchalantly. “I used to be like that too.”

Coco disagreed with her: "Teacher Ziyuan is different from you."

“It’s the same.” Chiba refuted her denial. “You haven’t reached that position, so you can’t understand her, and you can’t understand me. The only one who truly understands her is me. Of course, I also know exactly what she will encounter later. In the end, she will fail, and things will develop in an even worse direction…”

"So what do you want from us?" Black Coco interrupted her. "If you're not mistaken, then you should be happy to see her fail, the destruction of the new world, and the world tree reincarnate. That's what you want to see, isn't it?"

"First of all, I don't want to see destruction. I'm just facing an inevitable outcome and giving the best answer so that no one dies in such pain and despair, in accordance with the laws of nature. Secondly, didn't you see the future? A being called Shion devoured the decaying world and became the new Beast of the End, preventing any new world from being born."

Chiba's chains rattled as she gently touched Coco's magical armor. "That's why the World Tree chose you, Coco. The power of reincarnation, now capable of surpassing Shion's miracle, lies within you. Kill her and save the world. Didn't your brother say the same thing? Only by killing her can you see your brother."

Then Chiba waved his hand.

A screen appeared in front of Coco.

Yinlian, who had already gone down, and An Shiyu went together to find Teacher Ziyuan.

They anxiously asked something, but Ms. Shion simply turned her head away, her gaze cold and devoid of emotion as she looked at them.

It is far more terrifying than ever before.

It was a genuine expression, as if he were looking at a dead person.

Coco had only ever seen her make this expression when the teacher was dealing with witches or monsters.

But at this moment, it was as if a magical girl was in her eyes.

It's no different from a witch and a calamity beast.

"Your teacher Shion has gone mad. She is serious about killing all magical girls because she believes that as long as one reaches a higher realm, one can be resurrected at will, so death is nothing to her now."

As he spoke, Chiba handed her a pure white miracle seed. “Your record has been temporarily erased and you are no longer in the World Tree’s records. With this advantage, and by using my power, you might actually be able to create a miracle, surpass her, or even surpass me at my peak. You are the savior chosen by the World Tree. Coco, only you can do it.”

Coco was breathing heavily. After a long while, she pushed away the other person's Miracle Seed and said, word by word, "I will not kill Shion-sensei."

At the same time, overwhelming magical power suddenly roared and rushed towards Yiyi and Xiaoan!

Coco gripped the egg so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and she almost crushed it!

However, An Shiyu immediately grabbed the silver lotus and traversed through the spatial rift, avoiding being swallowed by Teacher Ziyuan's magic at the first moment.

She then turned and fled to the Disaster Management Bureau, and Shion-sensei did not continue to pursue her, but simply turned and looked into the distance.

They continued to stand on the high ground, seemingly waiting for something.

Coco breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to fly downwards.

"Are you going to kill all the magical girls in the new world? To kill others, including yourself, for your teacher Shion?"

Coco gripped her wand, sat sideways on it, and sped off toward the new world.

"Do not."

"I will save everyone, save the world, and save every magical girl."

"Including Shion-sensei, I will save them all, I'll show you!"

……

Shion has indeed gone mad.

When An Shiyu brought Yinlian back to the Disaster Management Bureau, she confirmed the matter once again.

The aster standing high in the sky may have lost its humanity and doesn't listen to them at all.

Or rather, it's as if they don't know them at all; they attack mercilessly as soon as you get close.

Fortunately, as long as you don't get too close, Shion at the top won't come down to chase you.

Otherwise, the two of them would have had no chance to escape.

"Get everyone out of Beihai immediately!"

After entering the Disaster Management Bureau, Yinlian kept shouting, "Director! Get everyone out of here quickly! Headquarters has already issued a notice that everyone should go to Headquarters for refuge..."

She flew and shouted as she went, flying all the way from the station to the center of the Disaster Management Bureau, but she never heard any response.

An Shiyu followed later, pointing to a huge gap in the space near the station.

“I have the export ready.”

"I don't know why, but we can't find anyone from the bureau."

Yinlian's tone was slightly hurried. She had flown all the way from the upper floor to the central hall but hadn't found a single person, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although Shion is currently standing still above, she doesn't seem to be in much danger.

However, once Shion gets moving, it will be an unstoppable disaster. We must first gather all the magical girls at headquarters and come together to think of a solution...

The General Administration had long been prepared for such apocalyptic crises, but in the past, the Qingyun Sect and Ziyuan would step in, and most of the pressure would be borne by them, while the Disaster Management Bureau would not be pressured at all.
