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

Thousand Needle Grass was killed, Tiana perished, and finally, Kikyo died.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Shion head towards the remaining parts of the headquarters.

Currently, it will still be some time before the headquarters is fully integrated into the magical kingdom, as long as Shion steps into the headquarters.

Everything will vanish like smoke.

Everyone will die...

"You don't need to know who I am."

"Just tell me, do you want power? Do you want the power to fight Shion and save your friends?"

"What are you talking about? I am Iris, the strongest magical girl of our time. Why would I need anything from outside? My own power is enough. Let me out, and I will stop Shion!"

Then the voice sighed wearily.

Iris suddenly felt a little smug.

You're trying to play tricks on me, do you think Iris was fooled from the start?

She was all too familiar with this tactic.

Saying you want to borrow power is just a pretext to deceive yourself into doing bad things.

Throughout her life, Iris has acted with integrity and a clear conscience. As the strongest, she would never be blackmailed by anyone!

"I won't let you out unless you borrow my power."

"You really want me to use your power to do bad things?"

“I didn’t intend to do anything bad, and I don’t need anything from you, nor do I want you to beg me. Because an iris is an iris, and that’s all that matters. I like seeing your confident look, even in the most desperate situations, your smile remains…”

"Hey, wait a minute! Why are you talking like some pervert who's been secretly in love with me and spying on me? I know my charm is irresistible, and it's only natural that you like me, but spying is illegal. You have to come to me openly and honestly for my autograph, then tell me you like me, then get a firm rejection from me, and then obediently forget about me."

Iris pondered for a moment, "Even if you can't forget me, you should try to find a new girlfriend, then tell her how much you love me, have her be my fan too, and finally work hard together, supporting me and buying me merchandise when my gacha pool opens... and more..."

"And you, shut up!"

The person on the other end couldn't help but interrupt her, so Iris immediately said with a grin, "What? Isn't this a huge emotional fluctuation? You were just pretending to be some kind of emotionless killer."

"You're just as amazing as ever. You look so enviable from afar, but you become annoying once you get up close."

"How rude of you! If you don't like it, just say so. Don't say things like that. Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding. Listen, you fool, all the dignity in this world is gained through distance."

Iris said in a wise and old-fashioned tone, "As long as you get close, no matter who it is, it will be undignified. So-called liking is about gradually accepting these undignified processes, not about pouring your feelings into your fantasies, then breaking down and becoming distorted in the face of reality, and finally saying that you have grown up and matured... Do you understand?"

"You really enjoy lecturing people."

"I think you just need to be taught a lesson."

"Perhaps."

The fact that the other party didn't refute her softened Iris's tone slightly, indicating that the other party was at least communicable.

"However, I still suggest you seek power from me, because only my power can allow you to face Shion. Although I can't say I can definitely defeat her, at least I can help you stop her, do what you want to do, and save those you want to save."

"Why are you helping me like this? What's the price?"

"The price is simply that after the end of the world, you must stay here with me forever, becoming the agent of the Beast of the End. I will take you to see the birth and destruction of every world. We will feed on the remnants of the world and live in our own way until the end of time."

"This doesn't sound like a price to pay," Iris said, somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it all benefits?"

"But this is the price for you," the voice said elusively. "Because you cannot save anyone, nor can you save any world. I am the End, and you must become my agent. We can only witness the destruction of everything, and as the final scavenger to clean up the destruction, this is the cruelest price for you."

"Wow, you seem to understand me better than I understand myself."

"Because I've seen it too many times, I've been watching you all along, I've seen everything about you."

Iris hugged herself tightly, "You're such a pervert!"

"I have no interest in your body."

"Then being a pervert is better..." Iris looked down at her fairly well-endowed figure, "Is my body really that unsightly?"

"No, it's alright."

"You actually watched it! You pervert!"

"Are you ever going to stop?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Iris chuckled. "Just kidding. You're right. For me, being powerless to stop the destruction of everything is indeed a very agonizing thing, so it's impossible for me to accept it."

"However, the power I give you can temporarily postpone the destruction before your eyes," the Beast of the End said. "Even if destruction is inevitable in the future, isn't it the magical girls' ideal to risk everything for what is right now? It is also the reason why you have fought so hard until now."

"Who told you all this?"

"This is the answer I got when I looked at everything you did."

"Why do you make me sound like that kind of hot-blooded idiot who knows it's impossible but still does it anyway?"

"Is not it?"

“Absolutely not!” Iris exclaimed. “From the very beginning, I never imagined I would fail. All my actions were based on the premise that I would succeed. Despair? What despair? I have never despaired. I have always been full of hope. What you are seeing is not me at all, is it?”

"That's an idiot who can't even tell the situation apart."

"Hey, who told you to say such awful things?"

"Because there's absolutely no reason not to despair, you clearly..." The voice of the Beast of the End paused for a moment before lowering slightly, "and you're not even laughing anymore."

Iris paused, then asked, "Really?"

"Yes, when you actually witness the devastation of the world's destruction, even you won't be able to laugh. That inevitable future is not far ahead of you. I just don't want to see you unable to laugh."

"why?"

"Because that's not beautiful."

"So you were after my beauty, weren't you?"

"Let's just say that."

"It would be too disappointing not to argue back." Iris plopped down, looked around, and scratched her head. "Okay, I can't always smile. After all, it would be too cruel to maintain a smile if the person next to me died. Sometimes it's tiring, and a smile isn't always a good thing."

“That’s not what I meant. I hate that you radiate pain and despair from the depths of your heart, yet you still maintain your confidence. It’s twisted, as if you’re about to break down at any moment.”

The Beast of the End finally revealed its thoughts: "This time is no different. So, without my power, you will stay here until the very end, and after everything is over, you can go and see what the inevitable future will be."

"You stalker fan, you're the kind of fan who breaks the law and gets condemned online. It's a good thing you're hiding here; otherwise, imprisonment and intimidation would be enough to land you in jail," Iris yelled, but finally sighed. "Anyway, thank you for your concern. But I'm curious, what is it about me that you like?"

Why are you asking this?

"You said you like to see me still able to smile confidently even in the face of despair, but I have never been in despair, and you have no intention of letting me experience despair, so the premise of your liking for me doesn't exist, right?"

"..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Iris continued, "Judging from what you said, it's probably not that you like my strength or narcissism. You're not interested in my appearance either, so it means that what you like is my perseverance even in despair? The miracles that magical girls bloom in the face of death, that's probably what you like."

"I hadn't thought about that."

"Heh, I knew it. Your mind is empty, just like Shion's." Iris teased the guy who was still destroying the world, before continuing, "Of course I know you don't like me. It's just that I show you a certain possibility as a magical girl that fascinates you. Who I am is not important. What's important is that possibility that moves and makes you love me."

"That's why you want to let me go. If you don't let me face the despair you know, how will you know I'll make the same choice? Maybe I'll run away when I encounter difficulties and dangers, maybe I'll beg for mercy and give up my magical girl identity when I face Shion?"

"impossible."

Iris didn't care about the resolute End Beast, and simply said, "Fine, even if I make the same choice, the one you've trapped isn't the Iris you like. She's just an ordinary girl who hid before despair. Although I'm perfect, strong, and beautiful, none of that matters to you."

Countless eyes opened for her, and Iris gazed at those eyeballs, looking at herself inside.

Looking back at countless past experiences—death, despair, pain—I realized I had never given up.

She smiled calmly and reached out her hand to the Beast of the End.

"Let me go, let me become a real iris, so that you can see the perfect magical girl you've always longed for."

"My power..."

"I already said I don't need it."

Iris stood up, patted her bottom, and said, "Because I want to use the power of magical girls to fight for our own future, a future with infinite possibilities, one that is definitely not inevitable."

"That's impossible."

"How do you know if it's possible if you don't try? In the fighting game world, there's a saying: 'How do I know if it's a negative frame if I don't try? Once I try, it's no longer a negative frame.' There's also a saying: 'If it's a negative frame, don't I have to press faster?'"

"Can't understand."

"It means I'm going to seize the future, to reclaim my own future even faster." Iris reached out to the Beast of the End. "Just watch from here! The strongest magical girl's magnificent performance!"

As for the Beast of the End, it didn't know whether what the Iris said was right or wrong.

In reality, the only person it can truly communicate with is Shion, because they are in roughly the same position and can basically understand each other's thoughts and actions.

However, when the distance is too great, it is always difficult to guess how the people or creatures in that location think. Depending on the location and environment, their thinking may even differ.

After all, some people rely on their brains to think in certain environments, but switch to thinking with their buttocks when the environment changes.

It cannot understand irises.

but.

"I don't just like you because you can still smile even in dire straits." When the Beast of the End sent her out of the Land of the End, it was because it understood itself.

"Right now, as you speak so eloquently to me, you are something I admire greatly, Miss Iris."

Iris put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.

"Then just watch! Magical Girl Iris is about to shine throughout the entire universe! I will utterly crush the Great Demon King Shion and save everyone from despair!"

……

It is unknown how much time later, the site of the remnants of the General Administration.

Shion looked at the iris lying on the ground and pondered for a moment.

I don't know why the Beast of the End is not here.

She was previously thrown into the territory of the Beast of the End. Given that guy's obsession with irises, he should be able to give her some power.

What came out was an original iris.

Ziyuan's expectations were in vain.

Although this assessment is specifically for the true disciples of the Qingyun Sect, she wouldn't mind taking a look if the other magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau performed well.

I can only say zero points.
