My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Headquarters.

In the tea room.

The red teacup had already shattered into pieces on the floor, warm black tea spilling everywhere, while fine cracks spread across the building's exterior walls.

But Phoenix, who should have reacted fiercely, said nothing in reply.

Her golden, bean-like eyes seemed to have completely lost their luster, as if she refused to accept this reality.

Amber, too, pressed one hand to her forehead, as if her thoughts and memories were still churning.

"Hey, are you two alright?"

Tang Keren was stunned, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean... only two people?"

But the next moment.

"I should have realized this long ago."

She lifted her head and let out a bitter laugh: "Hah, even the magical girl of memory can have her memories altered, huh?"

"But thinking about it, that makes sense."

"In a world where everyone who enters has their soul and memories modified, why should the memories of those holding the world's authority... be guaranteed unaltered?"

She murmured softly: "Perhaps because of that very authority, this kind of perception and modification is actually even more deeply entrenched."

Su Fang was taken aback: "Miss Amber...?"

Their memories had been silently tampered with too?

From the very beginning?!

Amber took a deep breath: "Three hundred years... three thousand three hundred and thirty-three times."

"So from the very start, all of us—including Su Jingyan—had already unwittingly become just another gear in this stage device."

Hearing this, everyone's expression shifted simultaneously.

Amber looked at Su Fang and said softly: "Do you know?"

"The name Airwen—we did hear it outside."

"Not from knowing her personally, though, but..."

"From your father's information."

The wine-red-haired girl leaned back slightly, her eyes widening.

—She, too, had realized a certain possibility.

And at that moment.

The red bird, as if finally snapping back to reality, spoke softly: "She's not a company executive."

But her voice was weak and listless, as if she had already lost all hope.

"It was the code name for an AI assistant that your father created using the power of the Sacred Tree back when it was still intact..."

"To aid in building this virtual world."

And in that instant.

Aside from Tang Keren, Su Fang, and Zihan—who were so stunned goosebumps rose on their skin—

Only the Cherry-Haired Girl's eyes flared with red light in an instant.

All irrelevant external conditions were immediately shielded, every known piece of information undergoing trace supplementation and clue assembly.

In a flash, it was as if all the clues had linked together into a single line.

The foundation of [Utopia] was a magical girl's Soul Gem—one that had been incredibly powerful in the past, at least B-Rank—capable of altering the memories and souls of everyone who entered.

And the Sacred Tree, before its power was dispersed and it was gravely wounded, represented the origin and Truth of this Soul Gem.

In other words.

The Sacred Tree, in its complete state, capable of even mastering the Abyss...

Could perhaps be regarded as the continuation of that former magical girl's power, even her soul.

Then the AI assistant that Su Jingyan had condensed using the Sacred Tree's power... could it, to some extent, also be seen as the lingering will within this Soul Gem?

Then Airwen's true identity—wouldn't that mean—

She was a remnant left behind by that former magical girl...

A shadow? An echo?

And at the same time.

Amber's amber-colored eyes flickered with a faint golden light, as if the truth behind all the events of the past had finally found a definitive answer.

Her seductive face still carried a smile, but that smile was now tinged with an unshakeable sorrow and bitterness.

"From start to finish, this was all a prearranged scam."

"I, Su Jingyan, Phoenix... we were all fooled. Our memories and consciousness were tampered with the moment we entered this world."

"Our [authority] was merely held on behalf of the true master of this [Utopia]."

Tang Keren frowned, struggling to follow her logic: "What do you mean?"

Amber murmured: "This project was nothing but a facade to throw people off the scent."

"The person behind the board of directors went through the trouble of setting up such an enormous scheme and pouring in such vast resources—it could never have been just for a few magical girl seeds with the potential for True Transformation and a hope of breaking through to B-Rank."

"From the very beginning, that person's true goal was to resurrect the magical girl represented by that Soul Gem into the present world."

In an instant.

Phoenix, who had remained silent, stirred.

Su Fang, Zihan, and Tang Keren's eyes went wide at this fresh wave of truth.

And Lin Guang instantly recalled a certain phrase.

—I want to become a true magical girl.

Not the system's objective.

But...

Words spoken from the depths of Airwen's heart, etched into her very bones.

"No wonder this world has become so powerful now."

Amber's tone was like a sleep-talker's, yet she connected everything she had known in the past: "After accumulating so many cycles of karma, devouring so many witches transformed from magical girls, and countless external resources, this Soul Gem has begun to gradually recover."

"This is far more than just a simple B-Rank, second-sequence artifact."

"Its original form likely came from... an A-Rank magical girl."

"!!" x4

"Such existences are almost unparalleled in the Federation's past history—only a handful of true legends, the very pinnacle of magical girls."

"But you can all see it too, can't you?"

Amber's voice seemed ethereal and distant, as if she had transcended the present and was gazing upon some extremely terrifying future.

"This world has been severely contaminated by the Abyss from the very beginning."

"The endless Abyss, combined with over three thousand cycles of boundless grief and despair... how could such an existence still be a magical girl who brings hope?"

She said softly: "If this completely corrupted Soul Gem truly reactivates and allows that magical girl to descend upon the world again... it would absolutely not be in her former form."

—In the past, the girl before them always wore a smile, appearing dazed yet composed, never once showing such a disheveled state in front of everyone.

Aside from being revealed by Phoenix as a spy from the [Witches' Guild], no one knew her true identity.

But she clearly understood far more about the secrets of magical girls and witches than anyone present, and thus could experience that deepest level of despair.

And the implication of her words was all too clear.

"A B-Rank abyssal demon beast, possessing the True Transformation element capable of distorting reality and turning the world into a purgatory, is called an [Infernal Species]."

"And if we go one step higher—a former A-Rank magical girl, turned into a witch by endless despair..."

Amber said in a hollow voice: "That is a [Forbidden Species] with a [Domain]."

"In other words, the one prophesied by the Witches' Guild to inevitably descend..."

"The [Witch King]."
