[It’s not the Will of the Stars… You are nothing more than fragments of the stars.]
[…….]
[Was I so afraid that I wanted to send you back that badly?]
Now I understand.
The goddesses who cursed humans out of weakness so feeble they’d become weak.
You who try to patch your wounds with a grand and ridiculous act called Restoration.
You are not an omnipotent being deciding the direction of this world.
You are not an absolute being declaring the end of this world.
The world is still alive.
You are just using deception while hoping for its death.
Unique Skill of the Magical Girl of [Hope]
Eternal Flow 萬物流轉
Everything flows and changes.
I shouted to all those fighting on the surface of the star stained red even now.
Amidst unreasonable curses, unreasonable miracles, and unreasonable violence, I shouted to all those still shining like candles as they trust each other.
[To everyone living on this star, ‘the Goddess of Hope’ announces!!]
[Our fight is not over yet!!]
[Humanity’s future is still!! Not over yet!!]
In response to my voice, a faint starlight began to revive.
Although it had diminished to the point it could no longer be called infinite, it still had enough left for one large miracle.
As the power affirming the human world flowed from my halo, I delivered a blessing that would warm all who sought to protect the human domain and prevent the collapse of heaven and earth.
[Hoo, so this is how I end up fighting.]
As the Magical Girl of [Stars] waved her hand, the portal that had reflected the powerless mother’s back like a mirror closed. At the same time, a piercing pain akin to being stabbed by a thorn began to rise in my chest, but I didn’t show it.
‘I’m sorry, Mother. Just a little… a little longer, please wait.’
The Magical Girl of [Stars] pulled out another piece of the goddess from her bosom, and as soon as I confirmed it, I created a White Starlight and threw it. The brilliant white starlight approached the barren gray earth, creating a colossal explosion with countless dust clouds.
Bwaaaam――!!
Unique Skill of the Magical Girl of [Stars]
Eternal Recurrence 永劫回歸
The Magical Girl of [Stars] was not going back in time, but instead healing herself while achieving a miracle using the piece of the goddess. Unlike her previously relaxed demeanor, she had become very careful and cautious.
Those wielding enormous powers would adopt a highly selfish attitude if things deviated from their expectations. Perhaps that was because what happens from now on would be things she hadn’t experienced during her return.
‘Was it all deception?’
However, the despair felt on an Earth burning in red and chaos was all too real.
Destruction of humanity
Defeat of the Magical Girls
What could be the reason they could not feel at ease even as these loomed right before them? Her ability, born from the star, cannot replicate the Eternal Flow, which only protects the human realm.
‘No, I defined them as not the goddess of the stars myself.’
A Magical Girl of Chaos
The Magical Girl of [Stars]
She said she had come through dimensions from a time where destruction was already confirmed.
It was also strange that a Magical Girl emerged suddenly once everything returned to chaos.
‘Your essence is…’
An appearance resembling Yuki.
Yuki was the last Magical Girl to remain in the ruined world.
‘No way.’
I unleashed the most threatening unique skills I could deploy against the Magical Girl of [Stars]. While I couldn’t use the powers of Eternal Flow outside of the human realm on the Moon, the abilities of the girls still bravely fighting the dragon of destruction were enough.
Free World
Imitating the green starlight of a girl throwing punches that bridge the present and the past while dreaming of freedom, I created a fist of the White Goddess. A massive avatar of the White Goddess appeared and lunged her fist at the hurriedly preparing Magical Girl of [Stars].
Fwoosh!
Boom!!
Unique Skill of the Magical Girl of [Stars]
Idol Manifestation 偶像顯顯
Ancient mythical soldiers cloaked in chaotic starlight appeared to take the blows of her fist, and the gigantic White Goddess charged toward the chaotic soldiers, delivering another punch. As the plains of the Moon were carved away, and in a vacuum where no sound could be heard, every attack caused summoned entities to fly further, losing their center.
“Animus…”
In an instant, I deployed my unique skill once again on the now chaotic battlefield of the Moon’s plains.
What I unleashed was the flame of the girl who loved me.
I recalled her warm touch and gentle smile.
I poured true fire into the impostor deity that dared to mimic her noble face.
Blossom of Love!
Beyond red blooms the white.
A flower bud, hundreds of meters in size, erupted above the battlefield, and as it fell toward where hundreds of soldiers and the White Goddess struggled, it unfurled into thousands of petals. The dazzlingly burning petals drifted down, blocking all paths the Magical Girl of [Stars] wished to take, finally encasing her completely in petals, leaving no ashes.
Cough?!
However, the Magical Girl of [Stars], barely revived through Eternal Recurrence, swiftly retreated and emitted a beam of light toward me. It was the wails of countless souls trapped within one body.
A massive beam of white light
A plague’s strike
“…Erebus.”
I deflected that strike with Sumire’s unique skill, Violet Blade Storm, then summoned Himari’s surgical tools and another unique skill, the Milky Way, to attack the Magical Girl of [Stars].
[This is why direct confrontation…!]
The Magical Girls of [Stars] unleashed the unique skills of 2-Star Magical Girls that I had ‘seen somewhere’ but were ‘weaker than now’ to fend off my attacks.
The white starlight and chaotic starlight intertwined in hundreds of ways, lighting up the desolate plains of the Moon.
It was only after watching all of it that I began to guess the true identity of the Magical Girl of [Stars].
It wasn’t the unique skills of the apostles who had bloomed into divinity, but the unique skills of the 3-Star apostles.
Unique skills with far inferior firepower compared to the current Magical Girls.
The Magical Girl of [Stars] was chaos born from the remaining starlight of the Magical Girls in a world that had perished.
The starlight of the Magical Girls that had dissolved into chaos, the memory of destruction sent by Erebus while cursing the goddesses, and the deity that was born from the ritual the three goddesses created to bring forth a massive curse existing in another universe.
The Glass Star, born after the history of destruction.
Contrasting to the pure white that gathered all brilliant light was the murky color of chaos.
A Magical Girl who witnessed the true destruction of humanity from a star where even Yuki had vanished.
[You were also a divinity that belonged to the history of humanity.]
[No, I was birthed from the chaos of the stars…]
[Then I shall define you as the first human to witness me.]
[What are you babbling about? You don’t even know that timeframe!]
[No, I saw it.]
The soul of Hyeonwoo alive within me witnessed it.
The records of the perished world
The unreasonable tyranny of fragments
The soul of an ordinary human, witnessing history, is alive and breathing within me.
Just like the human history that defined the three goddesses, it is the perception of an ordinary human who witnessed destruction.
The birth of divinity
That is formed from human hearts afraid of something in history.
Then, as a witness who saw the sacrifices of the Magical Girls who were afraid of the records of destruction, and unbeknownst to themselves, birthed a new deity, I shall define you.
As an ordinary human.
I, Hyeonwoo, will be the last chronicler who records the false deity born from the destroyed world.
I will call the last goddess like this.
“Nyx.”
The first night
The goddess of chaos
An unbearably terrifying darkness
You are not an unknown entity born alone from the stars.
You are a human descendant born from the fragments of countless girls.
Your time is no longer severed from our time.
The Magical Girl of [Stars] was a being that transcended the human world, but at this moment, she is being incorporated into the history of humanity in another way.
[What does this action mean?]
[It means something.]
If you’ve become a deity belonging to the realm of humanity.
I can now use your power.
I will receive that power carried over from the goddess and abandoned by the girl, salvaged from chaos, and use it.
The history of humanity that transcends destruction will transform even the tyranny of the stars into a mere past.
If the time of the stars connects beyond space, then the time of humanity now connects beyond space. The power of the world was unstable through repetitive rewinds, but we always sought hope amidst the uncertain tomorrows.
Unique Skill of the Magical Girl of [Hope]
Eternal Recurrence 永劫回歸
[No way!!!]
In the dazzling white starlight.
The Magical Girl of [Stars] cried out, witnessing the flow of the stars being disrupted, and as chaos faded from the star stained in chaos, the humans who had died in trials were resurrected.
I rewound time as much as I could.
And so
I returned before the launch of the Ark.
