My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

And seemingly encouraged by the Phoenix’s current posture, the magical girls appeared even more spirited.

Multicolored beams of magic power interweaved as they shot into the sky, blooming wantonly against the ink-black heavens—dazzling gold, deep blue, passionate red, gentle purple... The brilliant colors flowed everywhere, nearly illuminating the entire Kazenari Town.

Fiery trees and silver flowers bloomed in layered splendor against the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful, while brilliant stars exploded overhead, the shimmering phantom of a pink magical girl flickering across the heavens.

For a moment, the space above the Association had completely turned into a dazzling ocean of fireworks belonging to magic and miracles.

The blue magical girl eagerly raised her pair of azure twin guns, firing into the sky.

Suddenly, a "beep-beep-beep" sound came from her chest. She pulled out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately answered: "Hello, Mom? Huh? A divine oracle?!"

"Oh, of course! I'm still at the headquarters... summer camp right now, and I just received the Sacred Tree's divine oracle too!"

Hanging up the phone, Su Fang sensed something as well. She lifted her head with some confusion, then suddenly froze in place.

It wasn’t just her—it was every magical girl around her, and everyone in all of Kazenari Town.

Because at that moment, a massive white pillar of light finally erupted from the edge of the Sacred Tree’s domain surrounding Kazenari Town.

It was an unimaginable spectacle.

White light far broader than the entire city enveloped all the visible sky, and the enormous barrier of light that could only be seen in the Outer Realm now revealed itself before everyone, piercing straight into the highest point of the night.

It was like a seed of light taking root and sprouting, finally surging skyward to illuminate all the darkness in the world.

Su Fang was stunned for a moment, then quickly snapped back to reality, a glimmer of hope suddenly igniting in her blue eyes.

"Could it be... that the Sacred Tree has fully merged with that Fragment of Hope and is finally about to drive away the Abyss?"

At that moment, not only the ordinary citizens, who were utterly shocked, but also all the magical girls stopped what they were doing.

They lifted their faces, letting the holy light shine on their young features, their eyes filled without exception with burning anticipation, silently waiting for the rumored new world that was about to arrive.

Amber clasped her hands over her chest, her smile warm and reflective.

Tears streamed from the Phoenix’s tiny, bean-sized golden eyes.

On the Association’s rooftop, Airwen beside Lin Guang looked up at the sky, her black eyes holding an indescribable mix of sorrow and joy.

All the effort.

All the sacrifice.

All the hope and despair.

Today.

At this moment.

It seemed like they would finally see an end.

But then...

In that instant when everyone was anticipating the future.

Crack.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

The expression on Airwen’s face froze, and she showed an incredulous look.

Amber opened her mouth slightly, as if she had just realized what was happening, her eyes turning sorrowful.

The Phoenix even stopped flapping its wings midair, staring blankly at the sky.

A shattering sound, grating enough to pierce the soul, exploded from the zenith.

Following the shattering came an abrupt, infinite silence.

From the extreme of clamor into absolute stillness.

The originally lively cheers, the roaring explosions of fireworks, the rustling of wind brushing through hair—all vanished in that instant.

And at this moment, if one had to describe the scene reflected in Lin Guang’s eyes, it could be summed up in just one sentence.

The world was breaking apart.

It wasn’t just the massive Sacred Tree barrier—the entire night sky, all of Kazenari Town, the whole visible world was fracturing, revealing the dim, black-fog-covered starscape of the Outer Realm.

Those hazy clusters of stars began to spin across the sky.

At first, it was just a subtle shift, but in an instant, it transformed into countless semicircular arcs spanning the horizon. As the speed increased, they turned into endless, connected fine lines.

Then, everything began to vanish from the edge of sight.

It was as if something more real was erasing, shredding, and wearing away the illusory, gradually swallowing everything into an endless darkness, leaving only those connected fine lines.

Starting from beyond Kazenari Town and the sky above, the entire world slowly disintegrated.

But no one resisted, and no one made a sound. Everyone was like marionettes whose puppeteer had vanished, frozen in their final poses, dead in place.

Even Lin Guang was no exception.

But...

Perhaps because she was an outsider, or maybe her talent was taking effect, or perhaps it was some deeper, more fundamental reason—though she couldn’t move, her consciousness and ability to think still remained.

And so, Lin Guang was forced to watch, fully aware, as Airwen beside her and the pure blackness rushing toward the Association unfolded.

The silver-haired girl’s joy had long vanished from her eyes, replaced by a mixture of frozen shock and anger.

Finally, Lin Guang and the silver-haired girl beside her were also swallowed by the darkness.

The girl’s physical body disintegrated in an instant, leaving only the murky, dim Soul Gem, which unexpectedly did not scatter. In the boundless darkness, it maintained a faint, candle-flame-like red glow.

Lin Guang’s consciousness didn’t completely disappear. She could still retain some degree of perception.

In that pure darkness, she could still observe the endless, dim specks of light.

It was at this moment that Lin Guang finally recognized what they were.

Those...

Were still the stars of the Outer Realm.

"..."

In fact, from the very first cycle, Lin Guang had always been very confused about one thing.

Given that the black fog blocked the transmission of light, the propagation rate of light was almost unimaginably low. This meant that ordinary light sources, after traveling just tens of meters, would gradually scatter and be absorbed, becoming undetectable—like in the deep sea.

So, what exactly were those dim stars that provided visibility during every Outer Realm exploration?

How could their light penetrate at least dozens of kilometers of black fog?

Why... did Airwen call them the fake stars?

At this moment, Lin Guang’s consciousness and observation angle seemed to be constantly expanding. The last spark of awareness representing her consciousness was nearly about to fade away.

But she still fought with all her might to keep her soul’s light from extinguishing, turning her gaze outward, toward those radiant points that once seemed so distant and tiny, barely distinguishable.

Then, the outline of a massive, cold machine sketched an indescribable picture in Lin Guang’s vision.

"..."

A matrix.

A machine matrix.

Densely packed, lit with the glow of indicator lights, seemingly endlessly operating black rectangular machines, stretching to the edge of sight like rows of tombstones.

The indicator lights at the center of the field of view could still maintain their pinpoint form, but the closer to the edges, the more stretched the light became, its edges pulled into comet-tail shapes curving in the same direction. At the most sharply curved points, countless dim black lines connected at the boundary of her vision.

—A simple piece of physics.

If one were to observe the outside from inside a fish tank filled with water, only the center of the field of view would show normal shapes. The closer to the edges, the larger the incident angle, and the more severe the refraction.

This meant...

At this very moment, Lin Guang was actually observing the outside from inside a small container filled with some medium.

Those endless lines were connected to this gem-shaped transparent container, delivering something, while the unchanging stars were never really stars at all—they were merely the indicator lights of countless silently operating machines.

This was the true nature of the entire Trial world.

The next moment, the firelight vanished.

Lin Guang’s vision was rapidly overtaken by an icy emptiness, completely swallowed by that boundless darkness.
