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

Then, Chiba suddenly realized: "I see, so you and that person are actually friends? Why?"

"nothing."

Zhongyan took a step forward, forcing Chiba back, and said, "We just get along well."

"Huh? We get along well?"

Chiba gave a half-smile. "We've spent so many long, empty years together, in the endless darkness, each of us the only one who existed. Yet it's not as meaningful as a few words you exchange with that person?"

"and you."

Zhongyan shook his head. "We can't talk."

The magical girl you're obsessed with is nothing more than a reflection of my past.

Chiba wanted to say that, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

How can you use something you don't even believe in yourself to mock others?

But beyond the end, I looked at the sun behind her, which resembled an egg.

"Has the end, which existed since before the birth of the World Tree, been so captivated by a magical girl whose life was as fleeting as a shooting star, that it has even forgotten its own desire to devour the end?"

It was born earlier than the World Tree.

Because the end came before the world.

It devoured the remnants of the end times, and in that long period of time, it was the only eternal thing.

Until one day, the World Tree sprouted and grew, and the gluttonous beast finally fell into the World Tree's record, never to escape again.

The Beast of the End, restrained and sealed off, could not even freely enter or leave the Land of the End, and was huddled in that small territory.

They can only catch their breath when the world is destroyed.

"It's for my friends, and also for the long-lost freedom."

When the World Tree collapsed, all restrictions finally disappeared, allowing the Iris to emerge from the Land of the End.

His eyes gradually became tinged with an ancient ferocity.

"Not everyone is like you, willing to become a slave to the World Tree."

"But you will eventually realize that this was the best option."

Chiba said softly, "Besides, you've got it wrong. I don't intend to hurt Coco. I just want to see her up close. This poor girl, I want to hug her. She's beyond my child; she needs comfort."

Iris didn't move, but just stared at her coldly.

"Your friend is indeed very capable. He seems to have foreseen everything, and he was willing to take such a risk, sacrificing his own life to help Coco surpass the World Tree. Because the new record was overwritten, the World Tree made a mistake in its judgment of Coco, which led to the complete destruction of the World Tree..."

“But, as I said, the World Tree is just a natural phenomenon.” Chiba’s tone was full of regret. “It is just a product that naturally arises in the process of the world’s continuous development, just like you, to ensure that the world can develop more stably.”

"It is meaningless for the World Tree to be destroyed temporarily, as a new World Tree will eventually be born with time."

As she spoke, Chiba pointed to the sun in the distance, "Look."

[The End] He turned his head and looked down, his pupils contracting slightly.

The sun was not just dimming—it was sprouting!

Amidst the blazing flames, the saplings seemed to burst open like seeds, constantly growing from within.

“I only pity her. She lost everything and sacrificed everything, but in the end it was all in vain. Her records are gradually being restored, and her ability to destroy the World Tree is also disappearing. Eventually, a new World Tree will be born with her as its core.”

The Beast of the End remained silent, glancing at Chiba. "You knew from the very beginning?"

"Not necessarily."

Chiba shook the chains on his hands. "After all, when Coco returned from the past and the records of the World Tree began to go haywire, I couldn't have guessed what would happen. Coco's ability to truly destroy the world is far beyond my imagination. If this power can exist forever, it is possible that it will continue to destroy the World Tree and plunge everything into chaos."

"She has surpassed me, reached a level I cannot comprehend, but only for a fleeting moment."

Chiba sighed, "Because the so-called laws of nature are so long and endless. As I said, they don't know what they are fighting against."

The Beast of the End finally made way for Chiba.

Chiba shrugged. "Thank you for understanding."

"It's nothing," the End said indifferently. "Since you don't intend to take action, then naturally I shouldn't stop you."

"Aren't you going to resist?"

Does it make sense?

“It’s pointless.” Chiba smiled. “I thought you would go crazy for freedom.”

The Beast of the End ignored her, only watching as the girl walked step by step to the top of the tower. The curled-up sun began to fade, unable to even retain its heat.

More and more new seedlings began to bloom from Cocoa.

It begins with a seed, sprouts, grows into a seedling, blossoms, and eventually reaches full bloom.

All magical girls are evolutions of the World Tree.

It is also a backup after the destruction of the World Tree.

Magical Girl, the Foundation of the World Tree.

She looked at the newborn World Tree that was about to be born and reached out to touch Coco's face.

"Happy birthday."

The joyful whispers seemed to awaken some memory in Coco; she frowned, and her small body trembled slightly.

Chiba pulled his hand back abruptly after burning his fingertip.

Then she saw the seedlings withering.

"and many more……"

She reached out, trying to stop the seedlings from withering, but she couldn't; the moment her hand touched them...

The intense burning pain from the burns made it almost impossible for her to get close.

Then she saw a golden streak flowing from the withered seedlings.

Slightly startled, the Beast of the End on the other side seemed to have sensed something and turned its head to look over.

That familiar scent is gradually becoming stronger.

It even made Chiba unable to lift his head!

"impossible……"

All traces of its existence have been erased.

All records were also destroyed.

From memories to remnants, everything has vanished completely.

It can be said that he was never born in the first place.

This is the price of erasing the record.

Once you escape the record, you can never exist in this world again!

How could he possibly...?

In the end, all that remained for Chiba was disbelief and astonishment.

Then whispers began.

It is in the ruins of calamity that the murmurs of hope and despair of every living being since time immemorial are told.

That is the cruelest eternal curse outside the World Tree.

That was also a desperate girl's final blessing and prayer to her savior.

"Please, bear all the curses and live on forever."

A golden curse surged forth from the new shoots of the World Tree.

The figure of the boy was slowly outlined!

Chapter 395 Tomb of the Gods (6,000 words, requesting monthly votes)

"I'm counting on you from now on..."

Chiba gazed at the boy who emerged from the void, and the words the boy had spoken to the emperor echoed in his ears.

At that time, she thought it was just asking the emperor to help protect the new world, so she didn't take it to heart at all.

Now it seems that's not what it meant at all!

"However, the Emperor is dead, and in the world of magical girls, the curse has not yet been born."

On the other side, the Beast of the End tilted its head, displaying a curious expression with its [Iris] face. "Even as the source of the curse, she wasn't part of the miracles of magical girls, and there wasn't even a possibility of resurrection. How did she achieve the curse?"

Only the souls preserved in the Ruins can be resurrected and protected by the miracles of magical girls.

Neither calamity beasts nor curses are inherently incompatible with magical girls; they cannot possibly exist by relying on the miracles of magical girls.

Moreover, Chiba had actually been keeping an eye on the Emperor to prevent the curse's power from overflowing and causing any accidents...

The boy who returned from the void ignored the two of them, and simply clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body.

He couldn't help but smile.

This tangible feeling is really nice.

He looked around again, gazing at Beihai, Jiang Ming, Hu Lin... The new world below was silent.

There is also Coco, curled up and sleeping in the sun, and countless other people in the new world.

Then he looked back at Chiba and the End, and in high spirits, he naturally didn't mind explaining:

"Because that curse was uttered in the past."

In destroying the Cursed Realm, the Emperor, as the source of the curse, bestowed upon him all the hatred, despair, and pain that had existed since time immemorial.

Wherever a curse exists, that curse will always take effect.

If magical girls represent hope, then curses represent the opposite despair.

Despair always precedes hope in the world.
