My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

“…No! No, no, no, no, no!!”

Tang Keren instantly lost her composure, tears streaming down her face: “No… don’t die on me!!”

“I don’t want to… I don’t want to see this again…”

“…”

“Huh?”

The tear-blurred pink-haired girl suddenly noticed something.

The progress of erasing the red-haired girl’s body had abruptly stalled, stopping just past her upper arm and refusing to advance further.

This was an apocalyptic slash capable of erasing the entire world.

Yet on the girl before her… it had actually failed?

Just then, the red-haired girl, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and let out a sigh.

“I see. I’ve adapted to it.”

Everyone was astonished to find that on that usually sweet, calm face, there now appeared a faint, complex smile tinged with emotion.

“Finally… mastered it.”

Zihan asked instinctively, “Mastered what?”

Lin Guang grasped her translucent Soul Gem, feeling the sensation surging within it, and whispered:

“The core of the Soul Gem.”

—What they called true hope… had actually been on her all along.

As her voice faded, under everyone’s incredulous gazes, countless brilliant golden specks began to converge at the broken edge of her arm.

These specks, like living fireflies, swiftly wove and reorganized in the air—first the outline of bone, then the texture of muscle, then fair skin, and finally the long sleeve of that crimson spirit outfit.

It was as if time itself had reversed. In just a few seconds, a completely intact new right arm had fully regenerated before their eyes.

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

The red-haired girl’s technique had always been limited to flames and playing music, never showing any other functions.

How could she heal such a grievous wound?

“This…”

Only Amber stared wide-eyed at the increasingly brilliant glow of the Soul Gem on Lin Guang’s chest.

—That glow seemed to come from something very, very small—like a grain of sand, or even smaller than that.

Could it be…

The red-haired girl clenched her newly formed slender right hand and looked up at the sky.

The black fog’s corrosion of the Sacred Tree was accelerating rapidly. Blue light and golden light flickered unsteadily, and the black fog had already reached the canopy, beginning to erode countless golden leaves.

Meanwhile, the presence of that black figure grew heavier by the moment.

There was little time left.

The struggle between the Abyss and the Sacred Tree in this world, spanning who knows how many years, was finally approaching its end.

But Lin Guang’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the witch.

She was looking at the nearly one hundred Fragments of Hope in the sky.

They hung like beautiful stars, still circling above, radiating a resplendent glow.

As the Sacred Tree’s main body grew dimmer, they became the only light source on this stage, aside from the virtual light orb in Tang Keren’s domain.

Amber followed Lin Guang’s gaze upward and said softly, “Airwen is probably her only weakness. Besides that, nothing can influence It…”

“It’s already a dead loop.”

Phoenix pursed her lips. “I can feel it—just how much Airwen once wished to escape, how much she wanted to remember others’ existence. And now, that same amount is how much she regrets and despairs.”

“So even if she did wake up, she might not dare to resist.”

“Otherwise, once the binding is broken, even the last possibility of restraining the witch and making her create that perfect illusion could vanish.”

Tang Keren and Zihan, who had been about to ask something, both wore expressions of dejection.

—Was it really going to end like this?

But at that moment.

Lin Guang suddenly lowered her head, looked at them, and spoke up: “I have an idea.”

Everyone’s gaze instantly locked onto that lovely face.

She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. “I’m going to use Full Bloom.”

“?! ”x4

Those words were like a thunderclap out of a clear blue sky, leaving everyone in shock.

Phoenix blurted out instinctively, “Impossible. Your soul state can’t possibly support Full Bloom…”

—What they called Full Bloom in this world was essentially a rehearsal for condensing the [True Transformation Element].

It required a sufficiently good soul state, enough understanding, growth of the heart, and magic power elevated to its limit.

The other conditions were undoubtedly met, even far exceeded, but…

Her soul alone—even looking at it now—gave a feeling of being shattered into fragments, left with only embers.

Such a soul should not be able to burn brightly again.

Yet Lin Guang still held her Soul Gem in her hand, as if sensing something, and looked at the Fragments of Hope in the sky, whispering, “I can do it.”

Her voice carried a tone of emotion. “Since the [me] from eighty cycles ago could do it, there’s no reason I can’t now.”

“Because that version of me already left behind the most crucial hope.”

Everyone froze, their eyes wide.

Eighty cycles…

That was the time when the girl named Mengmengxiang vanished from Kazenari Town!

Tang Keren opened her mouth excitedly, as if about to ask something.

But Lin Guang just shook her head, showing no intention of explaining.

Her crimson eyes swept over everyone present, and she said slowly, “But even so, if I relied only on my own power, it still wouldn’t be enough.”

“So I need you… and everyone else’s help.”

“Everyone, can you lend me your strength?”

“…”

After a long silence, Tang Keren suddenly burst into laughter.

“Since you dummy said that, there’s no choice but to go for it, right?”

“Kukuku.” Zihan hoisted her giant scythe onto her shoulder. “My beloved comrade, my partner in crime—what are you even saying at this point? I am you, and you are me. My power is no different from yours, isn’t it?”

Phoenix spread her arms wide in excitement, then awkwardly put one hand down—it seemed she’d been a bird for so long that using the body of the girl named Hythesla again felt a bit unfamiliar.

“Of course I’ll go all out too!”

Amber, seated on her flying broom, smiled reservedly, her eyes softening with warmth. “Mengmengxiang, do what you think is right. I’ll support you with everything I’ve got.”

And at that moment, even the blue light flickering on the golden Sacred Tree, which was enduring the witch’s pressure, conveyed a steadfast will.

That was Su Fang’s resolve!

Tang Keren let out a long sigh, her eyes shimmering like brilliant stars.

“But then again, that’s true.”

“This is the final, final, final moment—in other words, it’s the ultimate graduation performance of Magical Girl Tangtang.”

“It would be too sad if others couldn’t see it…”

The pink magical girl’s Soul Gem lit up with an utterly enchanting radiance. She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers crisply.

“Stream at MAX.”

“Domain expansion!”

She looked at the swaying blue light on the Sacred Tree and shouted, “Su Fang!!”
