My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

The black fog stopped surging, and all the demon beasts froze in place, as if the core at the very center had been destroyed.

“......”

The fingers of its right hand slowly loosened one by one, and the pitch-black giant sword, losing its grip, plummeted downward, crashing heavily onto the surface of the giant tree with a dull thud.

Under the girls' gaze, the silver-blue armor wrapped in black Qi began to rapidly disintegrate and dissipate, starting from the hole in its chest.

The helmet on its face shattered with a crack as well.

Everyone's eyes widened in unison, staring at the figure kneeling there as its true appearance was revealed.

That was...

A human?!

He had short blue hair that gently swayed in the night breeze. Though his complexion was deathly pale, as if from excessive blood loss, his facial features still carried an incredibly familiar sense of déjà vu.

A stream of pitch-black blood slowly trickled from the corner of the man's mouth. His eyes were vacant, his eyelids slightly drooping, about to close.

Just a fleeting glimpse—before anyone could react, his body dissolved like mist, vanishing along with the armor.

Only Lin Guang's cherry-red pupils abruptly contracted.

In the last moment before the man's eyes closed, a flicker of recognizable emotion finally flashed through those emerald-green irises.

It was a look of relief.

And beside Lin Guang, Airwen held her phantom sword, her silver eyes gazing at the dissolving man with an indescribably complex expression, maintaining a heavy silence.

The moment he disappeared, the demon beasts instantly dissipated, and the black fog, as if losing its leader, no longer had any momentum to gather again.

It seemed everything was over.

And at that moment, an immense wave of exhaustion simultaneously engulfed the three girls at the center of the stage who had entered Full Bloom.

Their spirit outfits and weapons dissolved together, reverting back to their everyday clothes.

Tang Keren and Zihan both fell unconscious without a single word.

And at the top of the stage, Su Fang felt the world around her begin to warp as well.

The edges of her vision blurred rapidly. The extreme clarity receded like a tide, and a thick, frosted layer irreversibly eroded toward the center of her sight, colors and outlines blending and peeling away.

But just before she sank into pure darkness, the dissipating figure reflected in her fading light perception.

“Da... Dad?”

A faint murmur escaped her lips.

Su Fang closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

…………

One hour later.

Beneath the seemingly eternal, unchanging starry sky, at the highest point of the entire world.

A small campfire flickered to life atop the giant tree that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.

Though the thick black fog no longer blocked the way, the golden barrier still lit up, enveloping the five girls.

“Cheers!”

The crisp clink of glass cups rippled through the night breeze. Inside their translucent cups was chilled sparkling soda. The campfire flames swayed in the night wind, crackling with soft sounds.

The girls held their cups, savoring the sweet taste of victory.

Thick chunks of meat and fresh vegetables were roasting on the iron rack, dripping with oil. The flames licked at the droplets, sizzling, as the rich aroma of protein from the Maillard reaction filled the air, incredibly tempting.

The silver-haired girl sat in front of the rack, setting down her cup after clinking it, downing the liquid in one gulp, then continued carefully flipping the meat with the tongs.

“Seriously... couldn’t you just use the Sacred Tree’s leaves to conjure a bunch of already-roasted meat?”

Tang Keren sat in her seat, holding her cup. Her perfect face now inexplicably bore a hint of a rosy flush. Her twin tails swayed back and forth as she casually complained to Airwen:

“Summoning a pile of raw meat, cutting and threading it ourselves, then having to go through all the trouble of roasting it, waiting hungrily—and you say it reduces material consumption? Why don’t you just conjure an entire cow directly? And honestly, do we really need to be this thrifty now?”

“Tangtang... I think... Airwen just likes the feeling of cooking, that’s all.”

Zihan chimed in weakly beside her.

At these words, even Lin Guang gave a slight nod.

During the training period, daily meals were handled by the magical girl at headquarters named Amber, who worked the front desk. And in the past few days, Airwen had been the one preparing food for everyone.

Even though the Sacred Tree could conjure finished products, dinner was always prepared by Airwen starting from raw ingredients.

Not a single exception.

Tang Keren let out a sweet laugh and shook her head, her black twin tails swaying. “Seriously, if you like cooking, why use the Sacred Tree as an excuse? What a roundabout person.”

“Could it be that you’re embarrassed because your cooking isn’t as good as Amber’s? I never knew you had this side to you.”

Hearing this, Su Fang and Zihan couldn’t help but let out adorable smiles as well.

“One thing is one thing.”

Airwen said calmly, “Food still needs to be made.”

Beside her, Su Fang smoothed her wine-red hair tips and smiled. “Yeah, if we only ate stuff conjured out of thin air... wouldn’t it get boring?”

Lin Guang sat quietly to the side, using those cherry-red eyes to gaze at the girls’ bright, youthful faces illuminated by the firelight, and took another sip of the hot milk in her cup.

Then, she looked up toward a spot five meters above the campfire.

A golden-yellow leaf was floating there, just like before, forming this golden sanctuary.

At this moment, a piece of brilliant fragment, as large as a girl’s palm, was attached to its underside. Strands of bright but not blinding light drifted down, making everyone feel warm.

This was the final Fragment of Hope they had all been waiting for.

But unlike before, after granting everyone its blessing, it didn’t immediately break through the air and fly away. Instead, it remained on the leaf.

Perhaps because this place was too far from Kazenari Town, deep in the heart of the Abyss, even it couldn’t find its way back on its own.

And this meant that the Sacred Tree’s blessing had already been bestowed upon everyone present.

That was why, just an hour after such an intense battle, everyone could be sitting here lively, celebrating.

“See? I told you—the story’s ending should always be the magical girls, symbols of love and justice, coming out victorious!”

Tang Keren’s face was flushed, her sweet voice brimming with excitement.

“After receiving the Sacred Tree’s blessing in time, there are basically no aftereffects. At worst, I probably can’t use Full Bloom anymore, and my magic power has dropped a bit...”

“But at least I’m way stronger now than when we first left Kazenari Town! Magical Girl Tangtang is still the strongest virtual idol in Kazenari Town’s history!”

A look of reminiscence filled her eyes. “The most dazzling stage and singing voice in this lady’s history—so amazing! Right!”

As she spoke, those golden eyes turned toward the cherry-haired girl beside her, as if expecting a response.
