Tang Keren looked thoughtful: "Since Airwen is the 'Truth' that It had to acknowledge in order to be born, then the deal between Airwen and It, the Binding she established, It also has to acknowledge, has to abide by, and can't break the contract?"

Amber nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case."

Zihan stepped forward, the massive scythe in her hand carving a splash of water across the surface: "We have understood this arrogant principle, but what use is knowing this? What exactly should we do now?!"

Amber looked at the Witch King in the sky and let out a soft sigh: "There's no guaranteed way to win, you know."

"Rather… we're already at the stage where all options have been exhausted. All we can do is do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"We have to rely on everyone's improvisation."

Tang Keren, Zihan, and Su Fang's expressions stiffened, and they subconsciously glanced at the red-haired girl beside them, as if hoping she would say something more.

But at this moment, Lin Guang's words, against all expectations, carried no encouragement whatsoever.

Her voice was very soft, carrying a faint, elusive, ethereal quality: "That's right."

"Whether it's in terms of scale, first-mover advantage, or the depth of its schemes, It has already firmly grasped everything. Our efforts right now probably count as nothing more than a deathbed struggle…"

She looked up, staring at that black silhouette: "No, it's far worse than that. On paper, our chances of victory are zero percent."

"To win, the only possibility is a miracle."

The other five stood stunned, listening to the girl utter words she would never normally say.

Had she finally felt helpless too?

That made sense.

After all, she was the only one among them who hadn't activated Full Bloom. Even the Witch King's gaze completely ignored her, as if she didn't exist.

"But that's from a rational perspective."

"From another angle… we just need to create a miracle, don't we?"

Everyone was momentarily taken aback.

Not just because of her words, but also because of the stirring music that had disappeared from the entire stage after the Witch King's arrival was gradually playing again.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Soul Gem on the red-haired girl's chest was becoming increasingly radiant, its brilliance growing fuller. The dark, murky taint had been expelled, as if it had been restored to its former state before it was damaged.

Phoenix and Amber, who understood the nature of Soul Gems and magical girls the most deeply, were both startled, unable to comprehend what this meant.

The boundless magic power could perhaps be explained by the special environment here, but her shattered Soul Gem was actually beginning to repair itself?

Why?

How was that possible?

Especially since the girl before them was no longer a magical girl contracted to the Sacred Tree.

The contract had been severed; the source of her power had always been a mystery.

And from their perspective, the state of her Spirit Soul had always been fragmented, nothing but smoldering embers, yet it seemed as if it could burn on forever.

But hearing her words, the three girls who knew her best also displayed various expressions on their faces.

That was true.

Phoenix and Amber had long said that hope, perhaps, never existed from the very beginning.

But at this point, were they going to be afraid of that?

They had crossed countless deaths and despairs to get here. In those cycles where they didn't know the truth, they had faced equally insurmountable barriers and had never stopped.

Now was just another time to bet everything.

"Besides, that Airwen finally did something human."

"She's already thoughtfully left us a way out, hasn't she?"

Tang Keren took a deep breath and suddenly let out a relieved smile: "This witch actually has the power to erase us from this world completely. But she didn't do that."

"I'm guessing that if we die, the deal becomes void. So as long as the Binding exists, It can't kill us."

"Even if we really lose… at least we can live a peaceful life in that world."

Zihan raised her scythe: "Precisely because of that, we should go all out!"

And at that moment.

Su Fang suddenly looked up, her gaze piercing through the sky, passing the black witch.

And behind her were the starlike Fragments of Hope swirling in the sky, and the golden Sacred Tree below.

Ever since Su Jingyan on the outside had taken over the authority, the Sacred Tree's golden light had grown a bit brighter, as if putting up a final resistance.

And so, at this very moment, she also felt something strange.

Her Soul Gem was also transmitting a special kind of pulse to her.

—The Prophecy Maiden… the most special qualification…

"I understand."

She suddenly said in a deep voice: "I know what I can do!"

"Distract It for me, Senior!"

The next moment, Su Fang took a deep breath, spreading her legs slightly to stabilize her lower body.

That two-meter-long azure heavy sniper rifle was firmly propped in front of her, the barrel pointing straight at the black silhouette diagonally above.

Without any superfluous words, vast magic power began to surge within Su Fang's body.

Lin Guang's eyes flickered. Without any hesitation, she transformed into a streak of fire and shot into the sky.

Tang Keren and Zihan also transformed into meteors and flew out.

Only Su Fang remained, pouring all her strength into gathering power.

Phoenix seemed to understand what she was about to do and said softly: "Can it work?"

"Senior Mengmengxiang said."

Su Fang's words were light and casual: "Just believe in miracles, and you can create them."

But completely at odds with that tone, she was already accumulating power with all her might. The magic power around her, like water, surged in like a tidal wave, turning into azure ribbons that wildly poured into her Soul Gem, flowing unceasingly into the barrel of the sniper rifle.

The water-like patterns on the rifle's surface swirled violently, emitting a faint hum, carrying an unstoppable resolve.

"…Ha, that's right."

The white-haired girl form of Phoenix let out a brilliant smile, suddenly stepping forward and placing her hand on Su Fang's shoulder.

And Amber made the same move, smiling: "Then, go ahead."

"After all, you are the strongest Prophecy Maiden."

In that instant.

Although the Sparkle Value was difficult to raise, the stage's spotlight still fell upon her.

A massive vortex of interwoven amber, gold-crimson, and azure merged together, like a funnel, siphoning the endless magic power at the center of the giant stage.

In that single moment.

The arrogant witch seemed to sense something worth paying attention to. Her head slowly turned, her pure black pupils seemingly wanting to direct their gaze toward the three ants on the ground.

But the next instant.

Golden-pink star barrages and purple causal slashes had already blocked the path of her vision.
