Chapter 545

Avery looked up at the extremely distant sky:

"... The Demons will never be destroyed."

Avery said with absolute certainty.

Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 584 Avery's Gift

Although Avery was a self-taught Demons.

But as Demons, Avery knew very well what kind of creature Demons was.

They are born from negative human emotions, completely contrary to positive human emotions, and inherently hate beautiful things like 'love', 'courage', and 'hope'.

Even their birth was not for survival, but for Destruction.

They know perfectly well that the existence of humans is the sustenance that sustains their lives; only if humans continue to live can they provide them with enough strength to maintain their existence.

But they still relentlessly pursue the extermination of humanity, never considering a long-term, sustainable approach.

The Magical Girls' opposition to them stems from humanity's survival instinct; in this respect, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Magical Girls the embodiment of human will.

However, the more Magical Girls save humanity, the more negative emotions humans generate, which in turn give rise to more Demons.

To completely eradicate the Demons, the first step is... humanity...

No, any creature capable of sensing emotions, of feeling Pain, death, and fear, must be completely eradicated from this world.

But can Magical Girls allow such a thing to happen?

"The more you protect humanity, the less likely you are to completely eliminate the Demons. There is only one way for you to completely eradicate the Demons— "

In his final moments, Avery calmly addressed the Magical Girls.

Aurora's expression was filled with disgust. "You're not suggesting... something as stupid as making all life disappear completely, are you?"

"Hehehe, that is indeed a solution, but as Magical Girls, you certainly wouldn't accept it, so there's only one other possibility."

"What... is it?" Luna asked softly.

Avery looked around at everyone and said slowly, "That is... to let positive emotions completely overwhelm negative emotions."

"May you, as Magical Girls, represent 'hope,' 'light,' and... 'love,' to counteract all of humanity's negative thoughts."

"Let the world become a perfect world where no one feels Pain, no one feels despair, and no one feels fear."

"In this way, negative emotions will no longer be generated, Demons will lose their source of Resurrection. Once they are destroyed, they will die completely."

"Until you eliminate all the Demons, then naturally there will be no more Demons in this world."

Avery said that.

"Are you kidding me?!" Aurora's eyes widened. "How could such a thing be possible?!"

"If... even the Magical Girls, who are hailed as 'miracles,' can't do this, then... there really is no one who can."

Avery spoke calmly.

The Magical Girls all fell silent.

They certainly knew that if, as Avery said, the negative emotions existing in the hearts of all living beings in the world were eliminated, the Demons could indeed be completely eradicated.

But... that's simply impossible in the first place.

As long as you are human, you will experience sadness and fear.

Even so-called saints cannot be completely free of any negative emotions.

"Then... doesn't that mean... our battles will never end...?"

Reiko looked at everyone with a confused expression.

If that's really the case, then what exactly is Magical Girls...?

A job where you never graduate, and have to fight forever until you die... Is this the worst job in the world?

"Why worry about so much!" Aurora suddenly shouted, addressing the Magical Girls around her.

"Don't bother thinking about all this nonsense. No matter how many Demons come, no matter how many guys like Avery appear, there's only one thing I'll do!"

As Aurora spoke, she suddenly swung her fist at Avery!

The fist stopped a few centimeters from Avery's face. Aurora smiled and said:

"--That's one punch, smashing these demons and monsters to pieces!"

After Aurora finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

After a while, Avery suddenly laughed:

"Hehehe... hahahaha."

He laughed heartily, a truly enjoyable laugh, "This really is... a Magical Girls... no, a superhero-style answer! How wonderful... how wonderful..."

He smiled, his last gaze falling on Xiao Bai, and said:

"Although... my ideals, everything I've pursued over the years, may be borrowed, may be false, but... at least at this moment, what I want to do is absolutely not false."

"Xiao Bai, I know you hate me, but at least in these final moments... please accept my gift as your 'enemy'."

After Avery finished speaking, he too, as the last trace of his life, drifted away into the air.

But the scattered magic did not disperse; instead, it drifted to Xiao Bai's side and merged into her body!

Aurora stared blankly at the scene, and only reacted a second later. She quickly ran to Xiao Bai's side, grabbed Xiao Bai's shoulders with both hands, and shook him vigorously, saying:

"Xiao Bai!! Don't accept it!! Quickly spit out this filth!! This disgusting doctor is truly disgusting to the core! Even in death, he still disgusts people!"

Aurora was very anxious.

She worried that if Xiao Bai accepted Avery's power, she would become like before, corrupted by the Erosive Power, and then fall into that irreversible the Abyss again.

Although Xiao Bai can be resurrected as Calamity Demon, who can guarantee that the next Xiao Bai resurrected will definitely be Xiao Bai?

Moreover, although Xiao Bai Oblivion her past, she will gradually regain her past memories when she sees familiar things.

But what if she sacrifices herself again? Will she still remember?

The thought of possibly losing Xiao Bai forever filled Aurora with anxiety.

The silver-haired girl was being shaken by Aurora, her silver hair flying up and down with Aurora movement, quickly becoming a mess.

She struggled to get Aurora to stop, and quickly said:

"Stop... stop! Aurora! I'm okay! I'm really okay!!"

Hearing what Xiao Bai said, Aurora finally stopped what she was doing, looking at him with tears still in her eyes:

"Are... you really alright?"

"Really! That guy... Avery... he gave me his power..."

Xiao Bai said, raising his hand to look at his palm. "I... seem to be able to accept a portion of... the power of the Demons, just like... when Elena's power before."

For Xiao Bai, it wasn't about 'accepting' Elena's power, but rather 'taking back' the power that once belonged to her from Elena's body.

However, apart from Aurora and Luna, no one else here knows what's going on, so Xiao Bai chose to keep it a secret to put everyone at ease.

"Speaking of which... who exactly is this little sister...?" Only now did Reiko finally realize the appearance of this 'unfamiliar' Magical Girls, Xiao Bai.

She blinked, her eyes filled with clear innocence, and asked with great curiosity:

"Is this little girl's magical ability to absorb the power of Demons?"

Aurora explained, "No, it's not that simple, and she's not some little sister, she's just... well, it's complicated to explain, anyway..."

Aurora rambled on for a few moments, then looked at Xiao Bai again and asked:

"Are you really okay? Right?"

"It's alright, don't worry."

Xiao Bai smiled and replied, her gaze then falling on Ayaka, who was also worried about her, and said again:

"Trust me, you're really okay."

Xiao Bai emphasized this several times, and since the black and red patterns that had appeared on her body when she was previously eroded did not reappear, Aurora finally felt a little relieved.

She turned her head again to look around.

The area around the base, which had been shattered by her Magic Cannon and turned into a crystal-clear surface, had completely cooled down. In the sky, ice shards from outside the base were falling downwards like snowflakes, quickly covering the ground with a thin layer of ice.

The surroundings were very quiet; there were no Demons or strange people, and the members of the Aurora Society had been wiped out by Avery.

It all ends here.

At least for Aurora, her story should end here.

"... Is it finally over?"

Aurora said softly.

Then she looked up at the sky, where the pink starlight had disappeared without her noticing.

They even called Xiao Qiu over as a precaution, but in the end, it wasn't needed...

But as long as the result is good, that's fine.

"It's almost dawn, shouldn't we go back...?"

Before everyone could have much time to sigh, Kanon suddenly stood up, pointed at Reiko and the others, and said:

"I don't really care, but... if their families find out they're not home, it might cause some trouble, right?"

"Ah!!! I forgot!! I wrote a will! If it's found out... Hurry, Shiori, you're fast, get me back quickly!"

"Hey! Don't make things difficult for me! Even I can't go back right now!!"

"Hurry up!!!"

Reiko and Shiori started making a fuss.

Ayaka this scene, Caijia's usually serious face softened with a slight smile. She moved closer to Xiao Bai, took Xiao Bai hand, and whispered to her:

Let's go home too.

"Tsk... Don't touch me!!"

Aurora couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped in and separated Ayaka and Xiao Bai. Standing between them with a serious expression, she said, "Xiao Bai is here now!"

The implication is that he's not your brother, so don't lay a hand on him.

Ayaka and Aurora stared at each other, but in the end, Xiao Bai stepped forward, took their hands, and said:

"Alright, stop arguing! We've won a great battle, we should be happy about it! Oh, and let's have a celebration when we get back!"

Xiao Bai made this suggestion.

But then she hesitated.

If there really is a celebration party, should I go as Xiao Bai or as Miemie?

Or... should we use the main body?

This is a bit of a headache...

Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 585 Stella's Escape

(Is Xiao Bai really alright?)

(She seems to be fine, and is even more lively than before.)

(Was Avery really that kind? And is Avery really dead?)

(I guess...?)

(Sigh, if Avery had grown up in a normal family, he might have become a very useful member of society.)

(Forget those useless things. If they had grown up in normal families, Elena wouldn't have died, Xilisi wouldn't have died, Stella wouldn't have become Witch... But there are no 'what ifs' in this world, are there?)

(I thought there was some deeper reason why Avery liked Magical Girls, but it turns out it's just because his childhood dream was twisted?)

(More accurately, it's because they didn't develop the right values when they were young, which is why their thinking is distorted, right?)

(Anyway, it's good that Avery is dead, it's good that he's dead!!)

(Is he really dead? I have my doubts...)

He must be dead.
