Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"Yes, humans won't give up easily!"

With high morale and a positive attitude, he truly deserves to be someone who can still shine even in such a dark environment.

…………

……

Wait, is that halo movable?

------

"This is the thirteenth..."

The connection with the imposters was severed, and the witches' consciousness was connected to the thought network, then the Earth Crystal sealed their consciousness.

Once I got familiar with the process, my witch sealing became an assembly line operation. Some witches were even sent to be sealed by my head before they could even use their magic.

"Next, next."

And so, all the four-figure witches were sent to be sealed away, and the progress was so smooth that the anxious magical girls could finally relax...

“Agent, the sky over New York has been crushed by darkness.”

Sad news came from Seruno's side.

"what?"

"The entire city was swallowed up by the black mud falling from the sky and disappeared from the map... Many other cities are facing the same situation. Many people have begun to flee out of the city, but running into the darkness will only accelerate the process of becoming a witch... It is now certain that the more populous a city is, the more darkness accumulates above it. Once it is submerged by that great flood of darkness, even consciousness will disappear from the thought network."

Have they all turned into monsters or witches?

“The population of New York City… tsk tsk, we can’t handle this.”

The transformation into a witch is an irreversible process, and the casualties are also tragic.

How long has it been since humanity fought such a devastating war?

But New York is just the beginning.

"It's too late to handle it step by step."

"I think it's the right thing to do to let people disperse. The darkness outside is very intense, and to survive in the darkness, you need to maintain a positive attitude..."

Scattering away would reduce the pressure on this "sky," but venturing into the darkness outside the city itself would be risky.

But taking risks can reduce the time it takes for the sky to collapse, so people have no choice but to try.

"The rate of dark growth has increased again."

I failed to bring hope to people; what good did it do to deal with thirteen witches?

It's nowhere near the rate at which people are turning into witches; the current despair is so similar to that at the beginning of the Eternal Night...

At that time, desperate humans turned into monsters.

Those crazy witches of today are monsters too, just with better appearances, but essentially the same thing.

"We couldn't stop the eternal night from falling..."

"Don't worry, this time it's different."

That comforting voice did not come from Seruno.

"Miluno? Where are you!"

"I am everywhere, yet nowhere."

"Get straight to the point; this is not the time for riddles."

My impatient remarks prompted Miluno to clear her throat.

"I was swallowed into the dark ocean of consciousness by Michelle, becoming an existence similar to her. Although I have no power, I exist in every breath you exhale."

Therefore, the imposter Michelle is also omnipresent.

"Because I blocked the opening through which she was encroaching on reality, she tried to absorb me. Fortunately, my size isn't much smaller than hers, so I won't be transformed or affected by her for the time being..."

Miluno is now a stuck plug.

"However, the overwhelming negative emotions were still strengthening her, and I could not continue indefinitely. The fall of New York only exacerbated the situation."

"So, you can only watch all this happen, and you can't do anything about it?"

Milno denied it, saying, "No, I can still do some things."

A dazzling shooting star streaked across the sky.

In the pitch-black night sky where even the moon had disappeared, that shooting star looked so unique, even dazzling.

"what is that?"

"It is a star crystal."

Miluno gave an unexpected answer.

"We should remind people... what a real magical girl should be like."

Then, a spectacular meteor shower began to fall in the night sky.

Chapter 497 Magical Girls are Hope

(Miluno)

I am a plug.

But I'm a stopper with dreams, and I don't want to just be a stopper.

Besides plugging the gushing black mud, what else can I do?

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was destiny, but it was precisely because of my chaotic consciousness that I broke through the boundary between virtual and reality and heard those distant voices.

It is the consciousness of celestial bodies.

Existing beings of the same size as Earth's crystals, these "them" sent their own fragments here in the past to resist invasion from the other side.

This imposter Miluno is corrupting the new world with darkness, spreading despair and panic.

In that case, there should be equal hope on this side as well.

The first shooting star streaked across the empty night sky, signifying that a magical girl had regained her past powers, and that people had once again gained the means to fight against the darkness.

Next up is a meteor shower that can be seen all over the world...

And the stars that lit up one after another in the night sky.

"So beautiful... Is this reinforcements?"

Seruno muttered to herself, "While we can't directly offer assistance or intervention, we can provide strength to those who want to rebel and have a positive spirit... Just like in the past, those radiant celestial bodies have never left us."

The magical girl who regained her powers, or the magical girl who gained powers for the first time, understood her mission and realized the beliefs she should uphold now, and stepped forward to confront the witch.

The counterattack is about to begin.

Even so...

However, the power of magical girls is ultimately slightly inferior to that of witches. The witches emerging from New York are spreading outward like a zombie horde, and the dark side has the upper hand in both quantity and quality.

"Don't worry, we've been through wars like this before."

Seruno's public appeal to the mind network.

"The brilliance of the stars brings new crystals, which will be drawn to the spirit of integrity, become a source of strength for everyone, and tilt the scales back toward the side of brilliance."

She is trying to awaken more people.

Positive emotions nourish me, so I am indeed getting stronger, but compared to that imposter, my growth is still too little.

Even now, the majority of people are still in despair.

"Miss Agent, please wait at Naboo Island Prison..."

Since Seruno was still giving a speech, it was the real Miss Terra who came to inform her.

The agent, not understanding, asked, "That island is still there, isn't it? What would I need to do there?"

“The witches defeated by the magical girls will be sent there together, and you are the only one who has the ability to sever their connection with Michelle.”

"I see……"

The agent nodded.

"Give me the coordinates... Miluno, you'll follow me, right?"

"Yes, I'll be there for you wherever you go."

Surrounded by darkness, she is able to observe the new world through Michelle's eyes. Although she is unable to move in reality, she can go wherever she wants here, but she cannot create data clones.

"Then stay by my side and be with me."

Is the agent being coquettish?

"I see."

------

"I feel like I'm screwing in screws on an assembly line."

The agent's thoughts.

I'm on Naboo Island with her as she sends those witches to the Earth's crystal to freeze them.

The production line operates like an assembly line, with a constant stream of witches defeated by magical girls from all over the world being delivered on the conveyor belt. The vast majority of them are knocked unconscious, and some appear to be dead.

As we all know, in movies, animations, and comics, even in the most intense battles, it's rare for either side to be disfigured, unless the plot requires it...

In reality, it's quite common to be beaten black and blue in battle, to the point of being unrecognizable.

I'm not just here with my agent; I'm anywhere in the world.

What I saw was not only these witches sent through the wormhole, but also witnessed the intense battles firsthand. The magical girls could not defeat the witches as easily as the agents, but they had a discipline that these witches did not have, and they knew how to cooperate and trusted their companions.

In contrast, those ferocious witches don't cooperate at all. They not only fight their own battles but also sabotage each other, acting like mindless wild beasts.

It's said that witches are born from absorbing the personalities of magical girls...

Whether it's memory or common sense, they seem to have absorbed nothing at all.
