My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Amber turned to the girl with burgundy-red hair. "Su Fang, yesterday was your first transformation. What did it feel like?"

"At that time..."

Su Fang thought for a moment, shrank her neck slightly, and looked down at the blue gem on her chest. "When I came to, I was in that really, really dark forest, and then a monster tried to attack me..."

"Right then, I suddenly noticed a gem had appeared on me, and I transformed as naturally as breathing."

"Yes, that's exactly how it goes."

"Not everyone can become a magical girl." Amber nodded seriously. "Only girls with sufficient 'aptitude' can be chosen by the Sacred Tree and directly bestowed a Soul Gem."

"Generally speaking, the awakening age ranges from ten to fifteen years old."

"By the way, the spirit outfit and abilities after transformation are tied to each person's personality—or rather, their heart—and are characterized by different colors."

"For instance, Su Fang, you're a blue-type magical girl, so your transformation is mainly blue."

"As for Mengmengxiang..." Amber turned to Lin Guang. "In the Association's records, she's registered as a red-type magical girl."

"Ohhh~"

Su Fang looked at her with curiosity too. "No wonder the senior's eyes and hair are so beautiful after transformation—they're like rubies."

"Ahem, don't interrupt. Let me finish."

Seeing Su Fang mimic a "zipping her lips" gesture, Amber continued seriously:

"As magical girls, our daily duties aren't just about protecting the city's peace and repelling the occasional monsters that breach the barrier... the most important task is organizing 'investigation teams' to explore the Outer Realm, searching for the last vestiges of hope."

In that instant, Lin Guang's gaze sharpened.

—The last vestiges of hope?

She had always been good at catching key points.

If she treated this entire S-Rank Trial dungeon as an incredibly realistic game, then there was no doubt...

What she was hearing now was definitely main story content.

Seeing the two girls listening intently, Amber opened up.

When she mentioned history, a hint of gravity crept into her voice.

"Our ultimate goal is only one—to reclaim the 'Fragments of Hope' scattered across the Outer Realm."

Lin Guang savored the word. "Fragments of Hope..."

"That's right."

Airwen nodded and took over. "They are the core of the Sacred Tree's power!"

"During its struggle against the Abyss, the Sacred Tree was severely damaged, and its core power shattered into many fragments."

"If we gather all the fragments, the Sacred Tree's contamination can be completely purified, thereby driving away the Abyss. Then we humans can break out of this cramped space and head toward a broader world."

"After generations of effort, most of the fragments have already been reclaimed by heroes."

"Now, there should only be a few scattered pieces left with no known location."

Hearing this, the anxiety in Su Fang's emerald-green eyes faded, replaced by a glimmer of hope and anticipation.

So most of the fragments had already been recovered?

It seemed victory wasn't that far off after all.

But Amber poured cold water on that. "However, we don't know exactly how many pieces remain, their locations are unknown, and no matter how many monsters we kill, we can't find them... Perhaps they're held by the strongest nightmare-level monsters deep within the Abyss. Those monsters have been alive since the Cataclysm and have never been defeated."

"Ah, this..."

Su Fang's expression froze.

But honestly... it made perfect sense.

If they weren't on the most powerful monsters, why would they still be missing?

Su Fang thought for a moment, set down her teacup, and asked curiously:

"By the way, that sounds so impressive!"

"So... how many members does the Association currently have? Everyone must be really strong, right?"

"And also, what's the difference between Outer Realm Investigators like Senior Mengmengxiang and Senior Airwen and regular magical girls?"

"And what exactly is a Prophecy Maiden?"

But then.

As soon as this question left her lips, the previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly froze.

The smile on Amber's face stiffened slightly, her eyes unconsciously flickering as if she were hesitating over how to phrase things.

Su Fang didn't know what she'd said wrong, and her expression turned rigid.

And the Phoenix's golden, pea-sized eyes finally turned serious. "The reason I called you both here today is precisely about this matter."

"You are the Prophecy Maiden chosen by the Sacred Tree, and the following discussion will revolve around you."

"However, before that, Mengmengxiang, I must first tell you something."

She turned to the cherry-haired girl quietly sitting beside Su Fang, listening, and spoke in a grave tone: "Airwen brought you here precisely so I could examine your condition."

"During this time, I've sensed it very clearly."

"Your amnesia is different from ordinary amnesia caused by the Abyss. It's a precursor to your soul shattering completely."

Amber's pupils constricted.

"!!"

And Su Fang's eyes went wide, suddenly feeling an inexplicable chill spreading up her spine.

That chill made her instantly turn her head to look at the girl beside her.

She saw that the cherry-red eyes held no trace of surprise or shock—they simply gazed quietly at the Phoenix before them.

And at this moment, the Phoenix, which had been acting frivolous until now, finally revealed an aura befitting a mythical creature, its eyes carrying a kind of indescribable pity and warning.

"Don't leave the city anymore, and don't keep trying to transform. Start a new life in Kazenari Town."

"Otherwise, you might..."

Just as the Phoenix was about to utter the final words—

WOOO—WOOO—WOOO—!!!!

A piercing deep-red alarm exploded without warning inside the Association building, drowning out all sound.

"Ah?!"

Amber shot up like a startled rabbit.

Su Fang barely snapped out of the implication in the Phoenix's words, stood up in a fluster, her eyes darting between the flashing red light and the others in the room.

Lin Guang didn't move. She remained firmly seated on her chair, her eyes quietly sweeping toward Airwen.

What's happening?

The silver-haired girl in the suit showed no trace of panic—she only frowned slightly.

"Amber, pull up the footage."

"Yes!"

Amber's expression turned serious, her earlier dazed and adorable demeanor vanishing instantly. She quickly pulled out her phone, fingers flying across the screen.

Click.

The lights in the reception room automatically dimmed, and the projector on the ceiling hummed to life, casting a clear beam of light onto the screen ahead.

"This is live surveillance footage."

The image lit up, showing the sea surface not far from Kazenari Town.

It should have been a beautiful scene of sky and sea blending together, but right now, a pitch-black hole had inexplicably opened in the azure, cloudless sky. Through it, black fog could be faintly seen swirling inside.
