My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

"Even as Permission-Holders with some ability to transcend the cycles, the three of us can only exert our authority within the domain of the Sacred Tree."

"Whether it's the Abyss in the outer world or the Abyss inside Utopia, they are both extremely dangerous and chaotic entities."

"It corrupted Su Jingyan, and we have no idea what Su Jingyan did or modified afterward while in an unconscious state."

"After we entered, though we managed to forcibly stabilize the heavily damaged world core—that is, the Sacred Tree—Utopia's originally intended programs had already become shattered and jumbled, producing countless results we never could have imagined."

The Phoenix shook its tiny head. "This led to everything beyond the Outer Realm being as unknowable as a black box."

"All our understanding of the Outer Realm comes from the experiences and observations painstakingly accumulated by generations of magical girls."

It said in a heavy voice:

"For example, those five special fragments—even after being collected, they would be reset to different locations by the authority belonging to the Abyss with each cycle, appearing on different guardian demon beasts in different places."

"For example, the Abyss has no clear will, only a vague consciousness, and Su Jingyan's existence as an 'Executor' is its sharpest sword."

"For example, the Prophecy Maiden is a special magical girl chosen by the Sacred Tree after being thrown into this world—the one with the strongest potential to resonate with it."

"For example, the number and range of Fragments of Hope that each generation of Prophecy Maiden can sense differ."

"For example, while it was extremely difficult for magical girls in the outside world to achieve Full Bloom, it became relatively easier here."

"For example, whether or not magical girls ventured into the Outer Realm, when their souls were worn down to fragments by the cycles and they were about to be completely drowned by despair, they would be thrown into the Outer Realm at the start of the next cycle."

"—As if it were the Abyss's act of feeding."

The Phoenix said softly, its voice carrying an indescribable sense of age and sorrow, "We've merely observed that the magical girls we knew almost all ended up turning into witches, becoming vessels of the Abyss, puppets of despair, and new kinds of enemies in the Outer Realm."

"Moreover, even the witches themselves are eventually worn away as the cycles continue. The first three generations of magical girls, and many who came later—even their Outer Realm witch forms no longer exist now, and even the traces of their contracts within the Sacred Tree have vanished."

"It's as if they've been completely digested by the Abyss."

Lin Guang fell silent.

—So... was that the difference between the closed and open doors at those rooms in headquarters?

The Phoenix continued, "We actually have no idea what principle this is based on. Why the Abyss can interfere with the locations of magical girls who signed contracts with the Sacred Tree, or even the Sacred Tree itself. Many of this authority's characteristics are utterly baffling to us. We can only use them; we can't claim any deep understanding."

"Even things like manufacturing raw materials—or even living creatures, which are clearly far more complex—actually consume less energy than making finished products directly... For instance, creating a living cow uses less energy than creating a stewed beef that's only a tenth of its weight..."

"Things that obviously defy common sense exist all around us."

"...Perhaps, from the very beginning, the Abyss and the Sacred Tree have already been deeply entangled."

The fiery bird turned its head to look at Lin Guang, its words laced with memory and pain, "And back then, Mengmengxiang went through cycle after cycle, her soul gradually weakening, until she finally vanished from the town."

"I, Amber, and Airwen could never forget that."

"But... after nineteen cycles, you came back alive."

"A magical girl whose soul was on the verge of shattering, who had disappeared in the Outer Realm for nineteen cycles, suddenly returned one day, standing before us alive."

"Even though you remembered nothing, only your name, and had completely changed in personality, becoming silent and withdrawn... Even though people are inherently creatures dominated by memory, and that might not be so strange..."

"But the most crucial thing was—the door to your room was already open."

"That meant the connection with your Sacred Tree had been completely severed, and logically, as long as the corresponding witch's remains still existed in the Outer Realm, the door wouldn't have opened."

"We... didn't know how to face you."

The Phoenix took a deep breath. "But the result far exceeded our expectations."

"You dragged along a soul that we thought was nothing but dying embers, held a murky and broken gem, yet you still tried to protect others, still managed to transform."

"And you still... believed yourself to be a magical girl."

"Even after three thousand cycles, even after ten generations of magical girls who entered from the outside world, even when Su Fang voluntarily applied to come here for her father and mother, nothing surprised us as much as this."

"We didn't even know whether we should feel joy or grief over your situation."

"You are a 'miracle.'"

The Phoenix whispered, "What should we do?"

"Should we explain the possible truth to you? Tell you not to fight in that form anymore? Or, out of fear of unknown risks, heartlessly expel you to keep you from interfering with other magical girls?"

"But... the essence of a magical girl is actually very much about will and conviction."

The Phoenix's wing gently rested over the girl's slender hand on the table, transmitting a slight warmth, its voice carrying a quiet melancholy.

"The reason you can still exist might be precisely because you still believe you are a normal magical girl."

"We were all terrified that if we told you the truth or forcibly stopped you, this girl who had reappeared before us with such difficulty would realize her own death, lose her obsession and drive, and vanish from this world once more."

"To us back then, you were like a fragile bubble that could pop at any moment."

At that moment, the Phoenix's and Amber's gazes both focused on the girl. "Mengmengxiang."

"Just as we couldn't stop you from repeatedly venturing into the Outer Realm alone in the beginning, what right do we have to stop you now from realizing your own dreams?"

"We only hope that in this world, where we don't know if any meaning exists, you can do whatever you want to your heart's content."

Amber's gentle voice also rang out, tinged with emotion. "And later... we discovered that this 'miracle' of yours was far more than just that."

"You are unbelievably strong—strong beyond anything any of us ever anticipated."
