My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

The final sword he faced before death was still vividly etched in his mind.

It was practically the Getsuga Tensho from the Thousand-Year Blood War arc.

Although he hadn't encountered so-called high-level Nightmare Seeds yet, comparing even a low-level Nightmare Seed like the Tea Party Girl, or even that crimson ferocious bird, the gap was just too enormous.

That blurred figure standing in the eternal night, seemingly commanding all the black fog, was not something describable as a mere Nightmare Seed.

That was something beyond all nightmares, more terrifying and profound, like the deepest abyss of hell.

It had forcibly broken the Sacred Tree's domain... Could it be B-rank?

Lin Guang stared at the panel displaying Mengmengxiang's stats, which had reverted to a D- rating, sinking into thought.

Combining that with what Su Fang had said—the largest Fragment of Hope was on that entity.

This thing's identity... might already be obvious.

Seated at his desk, Lin Guang lowered his head, propping his chin with one hand, a glimmer of realization dawning in his eyes.

Holy shit, this bastard couldn't be the embodiment of the entire Abyss's immune and stress response, could it?

After all, while the Abyss had no clear individual will, it wasn't entirely without instinctual reactions.

Since it could sense the Prophecy Maiden's presence, lure Su Fang to the Outer Realm to try and kill her, and send demon beasts to attack towns, it naturally might also react to the "rapid collection of Fragments of Hope."

From start to finish, the Abyss had never been inactive—it just never made precise targeted moves.

Maybe you could compare it like this.

Like a sleeping giant beast, the size of a world, thrashing wildly and unleashing its full power when it felt pain.

Never mind where exactly its power burst out—the point was it burst out.

Extrapolating from this perspective, the act of collecting the last few Fragments of Hope had triggered a stress response, causing it to fully concentrate most of the power it could mobilize, which was why that humanoid figure commanding all the black fog had attacked the Sacred Tree's domain.

But...

The trial's objective was to become a true magical girl.

No matter how you interpreted it, letting the Sacred Tree's domain and Kazenari Town be destroyed was unacceptable. At all costs, he had to protect the Sacred Tree and collect the final Fragment of Hope.

That meant...

"I have to face the Abyss's most powerful backlash head-on, huh."

Lin Guang closed his eyes and murmured.

This S-rank difficulty was no joke.

Even now, having recovered quite a bit, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could still almost smell the black fog's scent from the Abyss, and that black sword light that seemed to annihilate the entire world was imprinted in his memory like a scar.

Personally experiencing that abyssal, hellish pure malice, facing that oppressive force that could crush even the soul, and witnessing that strike that directly severed the Sacred Tree...

If someone were even slightly weaker-willed, they would likely lose all will to face that entity again the moment they woke up.

Even if the system's protection was top-notch, without providing cognitive filtering shields or directly manipulating personality from the mind, that sense of oppression and despair would likely leave an indelible scar on memory.

For ordinary people, that would be enough to become a lifelong [Heart Demon].

But after just a few seconds, the closed-eyed youth suddenly opened his eyes.

Should I avoid his sharp edge?!

No fucking way!

The black pupils set in his stern face held no fear or hesitation—instead, a blazing, brilliant flame flickered within them.

This was the sign of him reaching his utmost focus and having his fighting spirit ignite when encountering a target worth dedicating his all to defeat.

After all...

Lin Guang had never been an ordinary person.

He was a god in the gaming world!

No matter how desperate the situation, at least after so many repetitions and so many days of effort, he had finally glimpsed what seemed to be a final node.

This was the peak of the entire S-rank trial, the end and the answer to all hardships!

Now that it had revealed its specific form before him, how could he resist trying to see if he could win?

As long as it showed a health bar, he'd kill even a god!

Lin Guang picked up his pen and wrote a few large characters on his notebook.

Tentative name—

[Abyss King].

A wild final boss had appeared!

"What a trial this is."

Lin Guang put down his pen, then stood up, grabbing the hem of his T-shirt, already soaked through with sweat, and pulled it off over his head.

"A person's growth is..."

The youth muttered a lame meme no one in this world understood, walking into the bathroom bare-chested.

Now his whole body was drenched in sweat, and the increase in magic power also brought a scorching heat, so a cold shower to cool off was just right.

...............

The twenty-fifth attempt.

Trial day five.

Outer Realm, edge of the Black Fog Forest.

A campfire crackled in the deathly stillness, occasionally spitting out a single orange-red spark, which was promptly swallowed by the surrounding black fog, thick and heavy as if it were solid.

Though it couldn't completely dispel the chilling gloom that pervaded the forest, the dancing flames barely held back a small pocket of light, providing illumination and warmth for the girls.

Today's intensive training wasn't over yet—this was merely a short break.

None of them had canceled their transformations; they sat in their uniquely styled spirit outfits around a flat tree stump Airwen had chopped with her phantom sword, watching her distribute the day's lunch boxes.

Su Fang's small face showed a hint of weariness, but as she took her light-blue lunch box and utensils, her expression immediately lit up with anticipation, and she quickly snapped open the lid.

"What will Senior Amber have prepared today... it's soup curry!"

Su Fang's nostrils flared as she broke into an adorable smile. "It smells just like the one Mom makes."

Inside the box, the golden broth, mixed with a complex blend of spices, released an enticing aroma that immediately whetted the appetite.

"Hehe, as for this humble one's offering..."

Zihan lifted her lid to show everyone.

Inside her lunch box was pitch-black squid ink pasta, adorned with a few bright red cherry tomatoes. She nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. This abyssal hue is most agreeable to me."

"It's just eating; is there really a need to get this excited?"

Tang Keren shook her head beside her—her pink lunch box contained sweet-and-sour pork with pineapple.

The active magical girl idol gracefully reached out, picked up a small piece of pineapple, and put it into her mouth to chew. That lovely face suddenly revealed a heartfelt, happy smile.

"A different dish every day, and it's even better than the chef team that usually cooks for me. I really don't know how she does it."

"I'll graciously concede that her cooking is the strongest among magical girls."

She chewed a couple of times, then her eyes glanced at the lunch boxes in Lin Guang's and Airwen's hands, and she suddenly sighed.

"You two never show any expression when you eat, as if you have no sense of taste. I almost feel sorry for her."
