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

He walked out of the house.

She didn't know what she was going to do, nor what she was looking for; she just walked forward aimlessly.

Walk towards where there are more people.

It was as if something terrifying was lurking in the deserted area, making her too afraid to stop and run towards the increasingly crowded area.

In the pouring rain that seemed to connect heaven and earth, she vaguely walked against the flow of people, only to find that as she walked, there were fewer and fewer people.

So their pace slowed down.

Who am I?

Where did I come from?

What exactly do I want to do?

My memory is a jumbled mess, a blank.

This disrupted her emotions, causing her sadness and pain to become chaotic.

Humans are built from past memories and experiences.

But she found that the past was a mess, so blurry that she couldn't distinguish anything at all.

Even his own emotions were somewhat out of control.

There is a fear that I will no longer be myself.

And there's also a subtle, impatient feeling.

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar woke her up.

Coco, who was still walking forward indifferently, raised her head and looked ahead.

The terrifying and ferocious monsters were wreaking havoc on the surrounding vehicles in the torrential rain.

The ground was almost trampled to pieces.

Opposite the monstrous beast, a girl with injured legs was huddled up, trembling.

His face was filled with fear and unease; he looked as if he were crying.

But it kept raining, and Coco couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.

"Help me... Mom..."

She must be a girl with excellent upbringing, even under such a desperate and terrifying disaster.

Her plea for help still carried a very dignified fragility.

There was no hysteria or madness, unlike those who ran away.

In fear, he closed his eyes tightly, resignedly trembling as he awaited death.

I think I know this younger sister.

These things naturally came to Coco's mind.

But as always, she still couldn't remember.

She had no idea who the other person was or why she was there.

Fortunately, the things I need to do are becoming increasingly clear.

She walked slowly forward, then quickened her pace, and finally started running!

Just as the monster's attack was about to strike the girl, she leaped out, pulling the girl back from the brink of death!

Her body reacted instinctively, and she fell so hard she was dizzy and disoriented. Coco stood up unsteadily.

Then he looked up.

Without even taking a breath, the monstrous beast leaped up and slammed down on them!

There's nowhere to hide!

Coco felt a warm touch in her hand. She looked down and saw that her right hand was glowing with a fiery light.

The intense, violent heat surged, almost evaporating the heavy rain!

Coco then remembered that she had been holding this seed in her hand ever since the day the accident happened.

I've never let go of it.

So she looked at the approaching monster and raised her seed.

A fierce heat wave shot into the sky!

……

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Sitting on the World Tree, Chiba gazed at the leaf that belonged to Jiang Si.

The purple leaf veins are incredibly clear, without any missing or damaged parts.

"Even if someone were to erase you from the past, present, or future, the World Tree's records would not disappear."

Chiba looked at Coco's leaf again.

Although from the beginning, the World Tree could temporarily erase the record of this leaf.

However, as soon as Shion dies, the records will resurface.

Rather, even the World Tree itself cannot actually erase the records.

It's only temporarily blocked.

In order to give Coco the power to surpass Shion, the unrecorded Coco endured the power of thirty million reincarnations to defeat Shion.

This is itself in the observable future.

"Although the branch of time will be with you, which is a little unexpected, it seems you've made another mistake."

Chiba chuckled softly, stroking the leaves of the cocoa tree.

"In the recorded past, even a Time Branch can only change a very limited number of things. So what makes you think that no one has ever done this before? I have to admit that those magical girls are very talented. Through the efforts of generation after generation, they actually managed to obtain a Time Branch. And your unobservable friend has hidden and modified the Time Branch."

Her name was Lu Ya, wasn't it?

Chiba doesn't remember very clearly either, but he used magical girls and even ordinary people to conduct experiments, completely hiding the Time Branch.

Let alone the incubators, even she and the World Tree could not actually observe the branches of time at all.

"However, I've already tried. Even if I use the Time Branch to go back in time, I can't change what has already happened. The world, or rather the World Tree, can correct past changes within the scope of the Time Branch, recording the intricate details. You have no idea about the cause and effect involved, poor Shion. All the changes will eventually be pulled back onto the right track by the vast record..."

His tone was full of regret.

Rather, Chiba never disliked this magical girl.

He possesses power that is in no way inferior to his former glory, and perhaps at some point he will even surpass it.

Because the realm Coco finally reached was not just the power of every magical girl through thirty million reincarnations.

Instead, it collected all the miracles and wishes of every person in every one of the thirty million reincarnations.

It can be said that it has completely surpassed magical girls.

That was a territory that even Chiba had never set foot in.

Whether it was Ziyuan or Coco, the power they unleashed in the end far exceeded her expectations.

Perhaps we can become companions.

It is a very lonely thing to guard the World Tree alone. For Chiba, she also wants to find her own companion.

"After you've tried all the possibilities, you'll realize that I didn't intentionally try to hinder you; it's just that it was all meaningless. All the attempts you've made are things I've already done. Then you'll discover that the succession of the World Tree is actually a mechanism quite friendly to humanity. When you see the end of human development, you'll, like me, support the World Tree and uphold the rules that govern its operation..."

Chiba stroked the cocoa leaves, then felt a pang of heartache. "Making your sister go back in time, lose her parents, lose her brother, lose everything, and relive the path she came from—you really are cruel, Shion."

She waited quietly in the chaos and void where everything had been destroyed.

Although there was some schadenfreude involved.

Watching these younger generations, who have completely surpassed him, do the same things he once did again.

Watching them ultimately face the same despair and pain as I did.

Chiba still felt sorry for Coco, who knew nothing and had everything arranged by her brother.

How desperate and painful will she be when she finds out everything?

Will she, like me, eventually give up her magical girl powers and identity?

Chiba was very curious about the choice Coco would make.

If someone makes a different choice than themselves, it's like another version of Coco...

Where will it eventually go?

The World Tree records many things, but also many things that cannot be recorded.

Once the world enters a cycle, future records will be temporarily unobservable.

The World Tree has left us with the question of what constitutes a possibility from the very beginning.

Just as she was anticipating what was about to happen.

Suddenly, as if it were burning her hand, she released the leaf that she was holding to record Cocoa.

She shook her hand in surprise, then blew on her fingers.

I walked over to the cocoa leaves that had fallen onto the branches.

Suddenly, a few drops of purple appeared on the fiery red veins.

Chiba was slightly stunned, and then, with great curiosity, picked up Coco's records again.

The leaf in my hand was still getting warmer, and the purple veins were expanding wildly.

It's devouring the fiery red record that originally belonged to Coco!

Chiba slightly parted his lips and looked carefully at the record.

Coco, who transforms into a magical girl, saves a girl named Ice Candy.
