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

Coco's dry voice was disturbed by the sound of burning, but Susan still heard it.

"This is how to save everyone."

"Who said that!"

"Of course it's Lady Ziyuan. I'm an undercover agent sent by the Qingyun Sect to the Disaster Prevention Bureau. I'm an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect."

Coco immediately quieted down, her expression somewhat confused.

Susan ignored her and simply reached out with difficulty to tug at the peony in front of her.

A cigarette fell to the ground.

Susan reached out and picked it up, glancing at it. "They clearly said magical girls can't smoke, and that lollipops are fine instead, but you secretly bought cigarettes yourself. No wonder you have a husky voice. How much have you been smoking behind my back, Peony..."

As he spoke, he picked up the cigarette, placed it on the nearby flame as if it were common sense, lit the cigarette butt, took a puff from the mouthpiece, then paused for a moment and rolled his eyes.

"Why is it cigarette candy? You're so boring..."

"Susan!" Coco finally couldn't help but cry out, grabbing her collar, "What are you doing! You killed them all? Even Senior Peony..."

"Well, since we're all going to die anyway, I might as well do it. This is Shion's order."

Susan gently pried Coco's hands off her collar, pushed her away, and said calmly.

She then looked up at the ceiling, where the stones and planks began to fall one after another. Her hanging body had now fallen to the ground and was being engulfed by the fire.

"But you're no longer my mission."

Susan took another deep drag of her candy, actually inhaling a bit of smoke. She coughed slightly. "The Time Furnace can materialize souls. After being digitized, they'll be transported to the Other Shore Plateau. Don't worry, I'm not dead. I'm just sending everyone there ahead of time..."

"This is murder!"

"Yes, but that's just how it is sometimes, there's nothing you can do about it."

Coco approached her, glaring angrily: "What do you mean there's no way? What exactly is there that you can't do!"

"Your question will be answered by Shion later."

"Answer my question!"

"I have to go now."

"you……"

Another explosion propelled the unsuspecting Coco backward, until she flew out of the Witch's Court and crashed into the elevator.

Susan, holding Peony's hand and with a candy cigarette dangling from her lips, smiled lightly at Coco and waved.

"Good luck, Coco."

Coco scrambled to her feet, wanting to rush over: "Susan!"

Then, the roof of the Witch's Tribunal collapsed, engulfing Susan in a massive fire.

Soon the entire Witch's Tribunal collapsed, followed by an even more violent explosion!

Even though Coco has unknowingly reached her peak and is forcibly using the power of Dream Essence to advance further, she is still being suppressed to the point where she can hardly move forward.

That was practically the power of Shion-sensei herself!

By the time everything calmed down, the Witch's Tribunal had been reduced to a dark ruin.

Not even a body was left behind.

Coco sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the ruins, feeling a sense of reality for the first time.

Teacher Shion became an enemy.

I feel genuine anger towards Ms. Shion.

"Can you still deny me now?" Black Coco's voice was as always, without much heaviness or mockery, but still frivolous. "Anyone can talk big without experiencing the same things. You don't hate, you just live in the moment, but what if everything in your life is destroyed?"

"Who can resist the urge to seek the next cycle of reincarnation? Who can resist the urge to seek a happier world? This broken world, this hopeless life—who can bear it?"

Coco stood up, holding onto the red-hot steel plate beside her.

“I am you, Coco. We are the same. It’s just that you are Coco who hasn’t experienced my life yet, but you will experience it sooner or later. Ziyuan is just one step ahead. Even without Ziyuan, you would have seen these things soon. In fact, because of Ziyuan, you have been protected too well and only now have you seen such a scene.”

"Tell me, even now, do you still believe that reincarnation is unnecessary?"

Coco stared at the Witch's Tribunal, which was billowing with smoke. The explosion had even blown up the entire Disaster Management Bureau above, revealing the bright sky above.

She staggered forward.

Then, from the direction of Chongxu, a monstrous purple magical power shot all the way to the sky above the North Sea!

Coco, who was still in a daze, immediately looked up.

"It's Elder Ziyuan..."

The teacher could no longer speak. Coco ignored Black Coco and simply flew up, heading straight for Chongxu!

However, she soon realized that it wasn't just Ms. Shion.

There is another kind of magic, which comes from the Thousand Needle Grass.

The two magical forces collided violently.

Even if there's only one, even if there's only one, we must stop Ms. Shion...

In my brain, which was already unable to think clearly, only this thought remained.

As they sped along, the flames on their bodies grew ever stronger, until, upon reaching the peak, they had almost transformed into a fireball as large as the sun!

However, the ruins had completely changed.

Nine giant dragons pulling a massive bronze coffin circled wildly around Chongxu. Upon seeing her, the nine dragons roared at her and even blocked her way.

"Don't get in my way!"

Coco charged forward without slowing down, and the fiery red flames exploded on the Nine Dragons Coffin!

The fiery red demonic armor was stained with a few specks of pitch-black bone ash.

A strange power seeped into the demonic armor, but Coco didn't even look at it. She just burned even more fiercely, forcefully breaking through the Nine Dragons Coffin and rushing inside!

The nine dragons pulling the coffin did not disappear. The shattered dragons were enveloped by a strange, eerie mist and quickly restored.

The ashes from the coffin fell onto Coco so much that Coco, who was like a sun, was extinguished in an instant.

Even the magical armor paled in comparison.

Coco was slightly taken aback when the dragon pulling the coffin suddenly turned around and swung its tail, dragging the coffin and striking Coco heavily!

Staggering slightly, Coco also felt the power emanating from it, which seemed to come from Teacher Shion as well.

It is neither pure magic nor impure magic, nor even residual magic.

But Coco recognized it; it must belong to Ms. Shion.

Coco, who had spat out a mouthful of blood, did not stop at all, but instead took advantage of the situation to continue falling into the ruins!

The nine dragons pulling the coffin chased after it for a while, but stopped when they reached the vicinity of Chongxu.

It merely hovered around the ruins, without stopping Coco from rushing in.

Chongxu became incredibly eerie, shrouded in mist, with all the light distorted, and filled with enormous stone statues, tombs, and desolate ruins overgrown with weeds.

It's like a place where no one has lived for millions of years.

Then, when she stepped into the interior of the Ruins, both auras had disappeared. Following the aura of magic, she quickly found the vicinity of Hogwarts—only this place remained largely unchanged.

But everywhere was covered with vines and weeds, cracks and decay, densely covering the Hogwarts school buildings that had only been built not long ago.

Then she saw the plaque of the Hogwarts gate, which she had seen many times before, lying next to the collapsed wall.

A poem has replaced the familiar school name.

"With a pure heart, I once felt ashamed of the immortal path, and thus I sought to establish another way."

"The magic wand, working alone amidst myriad laws, stands at the gate to avert collapse."

Coco murmured the verses, but her heart was filled with only desolation.

"Ziyuan's own handwriting."

Coco turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and finally saw a familiar face again.

Bing Tang Jie also stood next to Hogwarts, as if she had already noticed her, and just quietly watched her.

"Sister Bing Tang..."

Then Coco saw the Thousand Needle Grass in her arms, its drooping hand falling to the ground.

Insects were crawling around on my fingertips.

"You're finally here, Coco," Bing Tang said gently. "Do you remember what your brother told you?"

Coco instinctively took a step back, but then steadied herself and pursed her slightly chapped lips. "Did Teacher Shion make it?"

"Yes."

Faced with the response from Bing Tang, Coco finally gave up that last bit of hope and expectation.

She stared at the Thousand Needle Grass in Bing Tang's arms. "Why did Zi Yuan do this? Why? Why?"

"Who knows? She never explains herself to others, so people always misunderstand her and can't understand her..."

"This can't be a misunderstanding at all!"

Bing Tang simply gazed tenderly at Coco, listening as the girl suppressed her emotions and whispered, "This...this isn't a misunderstanding at all. I can't forgive her, I really can't forgive her. What is she trying to do? I don't want to understand..."

Bing Tang didn't interrupt her; she simply held the Thousand Needle Grass and turned to walk towards the cemetery behind her.

Coco paused for a moment, then followed Bing Tang forward.

There were graveyards and cemeteries everywhere until we followed Bing Tang to the center of Chongxu.

It was a plateau, and below the plateau was an abyss.

Coco recognized it at a glance; this was the plateau from the Land of the End.

Then, Bing Tang placed the corpse of the Thousand Needle Grass down.

Coco had just seen the abyss.

It was packed with corpses.
