Fighting you is like being in jail.

"What!?" Blitz's pupils shrank, and he looked down.

He suddenly saw his daughter appear below him, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Elina!"

Blitz swooped down and landed incredibly on the ground.

"What brings you here!?"

"A black-haired older sister brought me here."

"Really? Then... let's go home."

"Um!'

Having understood the situation, Blitz picked up Alina and took to the air, flying towards Altair.

Upon seeing this, Altair opened her mouth slightly in surprise as she looked ahead. She already knew what had happened; it was Homura Akemi who had brought Elina here.

In that case, there is no need for any fighting.

"Thank you...and goodbye..."

Blitz held Arya and looked at Altair with emotion, his eyes glistening with tears.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you all..."

Altair sighed with emotion, his eyes softening as he blinked.

The next second, Blitz took Alina into the passage and disappeared from the world.

.....

Meanwhile, Serega and Meteora, who were on their way, suddenly received orders to retreat.

At the same time, the voice of Aki Kikuchihara came through their headphones.

"Retreat! Come back quickly!"

"What happened?" Serega asked in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

"We'll talk about it when we get back! Now, let's retreat!"

"Row……"

Serega frowned, grinned, and replied before piloting her mech back.

Meteora frowned at the situation, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Two figures streaked across the sky.

In the factory on the ground, countless sabers rained down, destroying the equipment.

Rumble rumble rumble--!

Right now!

Like a missile streaking across the sky, it hurtled towards the ground, leaving a long trail of flame and white smoke!

Boom!!

A massive explosion occurred in the factory, the ground trembled, dust and smoke filled the air, and flames shot up from the ground.

"Ha! Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Altair looked at the burning cement crater beneath his feet, a smile playing on his lips. He looked up in the direction the missile had been launched, his eyes gleaming.

But do you think you can stop me?

Chapter 76 Don't ask the Warrior of Light about such dark things.

When Selesia and Meteora answered the countermeasures department.

They received news of Blitz and Alice's deaths immediately.

"What a joke! How could they die so easily!? They were only a fraction faster than us..."

Serena didn't believe the information she received at all. Her eyes trembled as she gritted her teeth and slammed her fist on the table in front of her.

boom!

The wooden table in the conference room suddenly bounced, and the A4 paper on the table jumped up and down.

Serena's arm trembled as she felt the pain from her fist, her heart filled with resistance.

Meanwhile, Meteora watched the scene unfold expressionlessly, remaining silent, her blue eyes gleaming with a clear light.

........

night.

Sota, Serega, and Meteora walked along the intercepting path.

Serega was in a bad mood because of what happened during the day. No matter how much Sota tried to comfort her, it was no use. Meteora, on the other hand, was very calm, casually eating her hamburger as she walked, seemingly indifferent.

"How is that possible... It was only a short while... Why don't you care at all?"

Serega suddenly noticed Meteora's indifferent expression, felt strange and surprised, stopped and turned to look at her.

Meteora, chewing on her hamburger, said calmly, "How could you possibly kill Blitz and Alice in such a short time... Besides, they ordered us to retreat immediately and even launched a missile. There's no such coincidence. So there's only one answer."

They were sent back to their own world by Altair; only that makes sense.

"What? ! "

"Really! ? "

Selesia and Sota's pupils contracted, and they stared at Meteora with their mouths slightly open.

“Of course it’s true, you can ask her if you don’t believe me,” Meteora said earnestly, looking at the sidewalk ahead.

"Um? "

"she? "

The two looked ahead in confusion, and their pupils widened in shock once again as Altair's image was reflected in their eyes.

Her long white hair almost reached the ground, and her white dress looked very beautiful. Her white platform sandals were also eye-catching.

Her red-and-blue eyes gazed at the three of them, and she opened her lips, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

It's completely different! It's completely different from when we first met.

"What are you doing here?!" Selesia immediately became alert and stood in front of Sota and Meteora.

“I’m here to take you back,” Altair said kindly.

"What?! You're really sending us back?" Serega exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Of course, we don't need to fight, do we?"

"really……"

Serega gave an awkward grin, thinking that there was indeed no need to fight, although she was a little confused when she was pulled over.

So, are you going back?

"Standing under the pedestrian streetlights, Altair asked curiously."

“Go back!” Serega decided to trust Altair; she hadn’t wanted to continue anyway.

“I’m not going back!” Meteora suddenly gave a different answer.

"Huh?! Why?!" Serega looked over in surprise.

"Because it's so boring over there, I want to stay here. The food here is delicious, the clothes are beautiful, and life is great. So I'm not going back."

"Ah... as expected of you."

Serega's lips twitched speechlessly, but she didn't stop it.

At that moment, Sota took a deep breath, mustered his courage, looked at Altair, and said, "I'm sorry, if only back then... I..."

"No need to apologize... because no matter what you did at that time, it wouldn't have changed the outcome."

Altair understood what Sata meant: if he had advised Setsuna back then, things might not have turned out this way.

But that wasn't the case. At that time, Setsuna Shimazaki could no longer hold on and couldn't continue.

So no matter what Sota does, it's all in vain.

"I'm sorry..." Sota's eyes dimmed slightly as he bowed his head in apology, his voice filled with remorse.

"Let's get down to business. Meteora, aren't you going back?"

"Yes. I've decided to stay here."

"We might fight again after that."

"I know, after all, I need them to survive in this world. So when the time comes... go easy on them."

"I understand... but don't worry, it won't be long before I die in this world too."

Altair smiled wryly and said to the three of them.

'When speaking with others, especially those with official connections, remember to mention that you're nearing the end of your life. Make sure your smile is pale.'

Homura Akemi's plan came to light at this moment.

"What do you mean?" Sata suddenly looked up, his eyes trembling behind his glasses, filled with shock.

"literal meaning."

She smiled without explaining, as if something was passing away at that moment, which made Sata's heart ache terribly.

He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say... so he remained silent.

After that, Serega went back.

Meteora and Sota told the countermeasures department that Altair was going to leave the world.

This completely shattered the already divided countermeasures department.

"I have no reason to oppose a victim who is about to die! Goodbye, no! Never again!"

Most people who learned of the situation chose to leave, since the whole incident was caused by the authorities' own inaction.

.........

On the other side, inside an abandoned building.

Homura Akemi looked at Altair who had returned and said calmly:

"You're back?"

"Ah."

"Then this is the last one. Let's make a huge scene and then leave this world."

"Thank you."

"When will Setsuna be resurrected?"

"After everything is done."

"Are there any difficulties involved?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"The place to make a wish is over there; you have to go there to do it."

"I see."

Altair nodded, a fierce glint in his eyes. He turned his head to look at the night sky; the white moon was very bright.

........

the other side.

Leng Chang, Kitahara Iori, and Heibaiqiu, two people per clump, carefully explored a cemetery carrying shovels.

"What? You called us over to dig up a grave in the middle of the night? I thought you were inviting me for a midnight snack!" Kitahara Iori stood dumbfounded in front of Shimazaki Setsuna's tombstone, feeling that no one could be more despicable than this.

Leng Chang pouted pitifully and said speechlessly, "What can I do? I'm desperate too. If Altair doesn't grant my wish, I can only use the power of the One God to resurrect her. But I don't know if it will work. It's safer to take some ashes. After all, this isn't the world of magical girls, and we don't know if souls even exist here."
