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

For Coco, sacrificing herself is not a difficult thing.

But sacrificing others to move forward is an insurmountable abyss for her.

Especially since there was an older brother among them.

She knew what she should do and what she had to do.

But the price she would have to pay forced her to ask herself a question.

Do they deserve it? Do they have the right to make decisions for others and risk their lives?

On one hand, there is the torment of constantly negating and persisting.

On the other hand, it's just a small button.

The temptation to change everything, start over, and never have to think again—just press the button.

Empty boasts are meaningless.

Only when a close friend dies before your eyes, when your brother's lifeless face gradually becomes clear in your mind, when the sight of the world's destruction comes into view, and when countless tragic corpses are right in front of you...

Only then can one truly grasp the weight of those grand pronouncements.

Only then can one truly understand the meaning of not seeking the future or the past, but only seeking the present.

It is the unwavering determination to keep moving forward, no matter how painful it is, no matter what sacrifices and deaths we witness, no matter how many people plead and cry for help.

Zero points.

Coco suddenly raised her head, looked around, and found that Ziyuan was not there.

However, the self-assessment I gave myself before still echoes in my ears.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chiba shook the chains on her hands. "Do you need my help? Although I am no longer a magical girl, I was once the source of magical girls, so I have quite a bit of experience in how to defeat magical girls. I can help you defeat Shion."

Coco looked at her, "How do I do it?"

"Back then, because I couldn't save everyone by myself, I distributed my power. Everyone who has the potential to become a magical girl will receive my power..."

As she spoke, Chiba took out a flower. "Some of these magical girls eventually fell from grace, betraying the miracles and wishes of magical girls. I used this flower to reclaim their power."

The flower has many petals, and countless miracle seeds can be seen in the central stamen.

"By simply placing the Miracle Seed inside, one can strip magical girls of their powers, and no magical girl can escape it."

Coco looked at her: "Are you sure?"

Chiba: "I'm sure."

Coco: "What's the reason?"

Chiba: "That's how I gave up my identity as a magical girl."

That's certainly very convincing.

Coco held the flower and looked at it for a long time, confirming that Chiba was not lying.

This flower can indeed drain the magical girl's power; almost all the miracle seeds have withered away.

But this flower doesn't possess much magic...

Coco looked at Chiba, "Will the power eventually return to you?"

"Because it was originally mine."

Chiba didn't hide anything, and Coco nodded as she listened.

Then, flames rose in his hand, engulfing the flower!

Chiba paused, glanced down at the flower that had turned to ashes, then looked at Coco. "What does this mean?"

"I will defeat Shion."

The ashes of the flower drifted away in the wind in her hand. Coco's tone was as calm as if she were eating or drinking, "After that, I'll kill you."

Even after understanding the weight and meaning behind it, she still spoke it with unwavering conviction.

Chiba scratched his head, looking helpless: "Are you awake?"

"I know that both you and Shion will probably treat this as a joke."

"No, I just want to defeat Shion with you."

"I'm not fighting to defeat anyone. If winning against Shion only creates a more formidable enemy, then it's pointless."

Chiba shrugged. "Well, as expected of his... student, you're really hard to fool. It's not just that you're similar in height. But it wouldn't have mattered otherwise. However, without my help, how are you going to defeat Shion?"

Just as she was asking her question, a magical girl flew over from the distant ashes and ruins.

"Cocoa! Cocoa!"

Chiba turned his head to look at the magical girl named Qingluan, then disappeared.

The Azure Phoenix didn't notice anyone else at all, and flew straight towards Coco, saying, "I've made contact with the Holy Temple!"

Coco gripped her wand tightly. "Let's go."

Even if you can't be sure if the path you've chosen is the right one, you still have to keep moving forward.

She was indeed hesitant, and sometimes wavered.

However, that doesn't stop us from moving forward.

They will find their answer in the final battle.

"The prince said that if we want to cooperate, we'll have to pay more..."

"What time is it?!"

boom!

Just as the two were rushing back, the magical kingdom began to shake violently, and cracks appeared in the sky.

Coco's face turned extremely ugly, and she immediately grabbed Qingluan, "Let's go!"

With a single sword strike, the magical kingdom was cleaved in two. The sword energy left dozens of abysses on the land of the magical kingdom, causing it to tremble and begin to collapse!

"Are they Bai Mei and Zi Yuan?"

As Qingluan spoke in astonishment, the sky was continuously cleaved open by the sword energy, like building blocks. Clear yet terrifying sword energy splashed and spread wantonly, and soon the entire magical kingdom was completely destroyed by this sword energy!

Chiba leaned against the World Tree, staring expressionlessly at the sword energy scattering everywhere.

Tree branches are constantly being chopped off from the world, each sword strike possessing the power to pierce through the universe in an instant.

They even went so far as to completely destroy Huawei.

A single sword strike chills nine thousand realms!

The Dragon Lord's roar clashed with the sword energy, colliding at the roots of the World Tree before slicing its way up to the treetop.

The trunk of the World Tree was almost split open from the middle!

In the vast sky, only a single sword light remained!

It can be said that—

Sword energy crisscrossed, illuminating the heavens!

Inside the sanctuary, the prince gazed down at the sword energy that had casually divided the sanctuary into four sections with just two sweeping motions.

Gazing upon the sword energy and dragon breath, which undoubtedly touched upon the level of the multiverse, the World Tree began to creak and crack.

Ruoyun, standing beside her, clenched her fists, her whole body tense, and murmured, "Teacher..."

[Warning: The main divine space is under repair. Please lead the Holy Temple away from the combat zone immediately...]

Ruoyun suddenly noticed that the momentum, power, and even the range of the sword energy were still increasing!

The Prince System, which had been speaking slowly, suddenly emitted a sharp, piercing sound:

[Warning: Abnormal magical energy fluctuations detected from the magical girl codenamed White Rose. The abnormal magical energy level has increased from 93,000 turns in the mid-budding stage to 129,600 turns in the mid-budding stage.]

[Revised, upgraded to early seedling stage, 259,200 revolutions.]

[Revised, early bloom stage, 518,400 revolutions.]

[Revised, early stage of the Flourishing Leaf era, 1,038,600 revolutions.]

[Revised, early stage of flourishing branches, 2,073,600 revolutions.]

[Revised: In the early stages of the Wheel of Life, there were 4,147,200 cycles.]

[Revised, peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels, 12.96 million revolutions.]

[Purple Alert! Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!...]

The prince took a deep breath.

She gazed at the terrifying sword energy and dragon breath that ravaged multiple universes, and thought of how she had once stood opposite these two and escaped unscathed.

A sense of pride welled up within me.

The Qingyun Sect is not bad.

I, Ita'en, am not necessarily inferior to them...

Until the World Tree began to shake, its massive roots were devoured by the frozen Golden Calamity Dragon King.

The dragon's breath suddenly overwhelmed the sword energy, completely engulfing its source in an instant!

Ruoyun stood up abruptly and almost lunged forward!

"Teacher Bai Mei!"

……

When Bai Mei was little, she liked to lie on the table and listen to Jiang Si tell stories about swordsmen.

She would always pester Jiang Si to describe, over and over again, what those swordsmen did, what they looked like, what they dressed, or what their quirks and habits were.

Of course, in the end, she had to beg and plead until her master made her a real immortal sword.

That was the wooden stick she used when she first defeated the monster; it was an excellent stick.

It had no flaws whatsoever; it was straight and the perfect length, which even made Jiang Si want to own it.
