Shining Form

At the very moment Lin Xiao transformed into light, Earth in this parallel universe responded with astonishing fury!

"What... is that?!" Homura Akemi covered her mouth in shock.

Under the utterly stunned gazes of the five girls,

countless specks of pure light began emerging from the ground, the trees, and even the air throughout Mitakihara City!

It was not only Mitakihara City. At this moment, from the deep oceans and vast forests, countless streams of light representing the very source of nature's life surged upstream like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all converging upon the enormous red-and-silver pillar of light in the sky!

This planet, which had been exploited by the Incubators for countless years, now entrusted every last bit of its power and foundation to this Light Giant from another universe without reservation!

Under the infusion of this vast energy, which even surpassed the limits of dimensionality,

the giant body taking shape within the pillar of light underwent a dazzling evolution! Deep blue markings representing the power of the ocean instantly appeared across its originally red-and-silver body, while the Color Timer on its chest erupted with radiance as blinding as a star!

Ultraman Gaia: Supreme Form!

"W-What... what is this?!"

The Kyubey on the balcony, whose red eyes had never shown the slightest emotional fluctuation, experienced an unprecedentedly violent breakdown in its system logic for the first time in its life!

Its brain, belonging to an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, was frantically throwing errors!

"No contract, no price... the life energy of an entire planet is converging upon a single life-form without reservation?!"

Even Kyubey's mechanical voice stuttered and trembled with rare instability. "This completely violates the law of conservation of energy! What kind of unreasonable thing is this?!"

Yet the miracle of evolution did not stop there.

At the instant Gaia's Supreme Form appeared, countless flickering golden lights suddenly emerged from the leaden-gray sky out of nowhere!

Those lights crossed the dimension of time, seeming to flow backward from the distant past, yet also seeming to arrive from a future beyond the void.

They were the pure souls of countless children... the purest wishes and unwillingness buried within the hearts of magical girls who had died tragically in despair across various parallel timelines, or who would face cruel destinies in the future!

"I want to live..."

"I want to find Mom..."

"I want to eat something delicious..."

"I want to save everyone..."

Those countless lights of souls, representing hope and miracles, fell like stars scattered across the heavens, all converging upon Gaia's immense body!

Before the horrified eyes of everyone present and the space fleet,

an incomprehensibly sacred, dazzling layer of pure golden radiance ignited across Gaia's Supreme Form!

Shining Form!

This was light that could only be born from the gathering of ultimate hope and miracles!

Within the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, every member was profoundly shaken as they watched this miraculous giant who had utterly shattered the laws of the universe.

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "A... a golden giant! That's so cool! Just looking at it feels like it cleanses your soul!"

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "How many girls' wishes has this gathered...? Such warm light."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "An aggregation of energy that transcends the dimension of time... My entire framework of physics has completely failed before a miracle that surpasses the boundaries of science."

[The Boy Who Wants to Be a Hero]: "So this is Mr. Lin Xiao's true form... It's overwhelming."

[The Shut-In Princess of Eientei]: "What the hell?! You didn't just activate Supreme Form?! You've even got this golden glow... Isn't Shining Form the exclusive cheat of that big brother next door?! Are you on the wrong channel or what?!"

However, that arrogant attitude lasted only a second.

Watching the terrifying divine might on the screen, enough to blow away all of Gensokyo together with the Lunar Capital, Kaguya immediately sent a second message with absolutely no dignity whatsoever.

[The Shut-In Princess of Eientei]: "I'm sorry, great group leader! I was getting way too full of myself before! I shouldn't have spread rumors in private chat with Yukino Yukinoshita that you asked me for her doujinshi! From now on, you're my real dad!"

The group members: "..."

Back in the real world,

Thump.

The instant Shining Supreme Gaia's feet lightly touched the ground of Mitakihara City,

there was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any violent shockwave.

Only a halo like golden ripples spread gently in every direction, with Lin Xiao at its center.

As that golden halo brushed past, the oppressive, suffocating air that had arisen with Witch's Night's descent was instantly filled with unprecedented warmth and hope.

The ordinary citizens who had fainted in agony earlier, unable to withstand the terrifying despair emitted by the Witch, felt as though they were bathing beneath the gentlest winter sunlight.

Their tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and they awoke one after another, rubbing their eyes.

The citizens raised their heads in confusion. Not only had all fear of the apocalypse vanished, but they felt vitality flooding their entire bodies. Even the illnesses and crushing fatigue accumulated over the years were swept away beneath that warm radiance.

Then came a miracle the five girls would never forget for the rest of their lives.

When that ring of golden Miracle Light swept across the sky-covering Witch's Night,

the super-aggregate composed of countless mechanical gears and dark clouds, which had gathered the despair and curses of thousands upon thousands of magical girls, could not even let out a single cry of resistance or lament.

That immense despair, enough to destroy a nation, quietly vanished the instant it touched that supremely pure golden light, completely purified into glittering golden motes that filled the sky!

There was no brutal battle.

Merely because this shining god had "descended," that suffocating despair ceased to exist!

The heavy clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed, and the warm morning sunlight once more spilled across the land of Mitakihara City.

"Witch's Night... disappeared?"

Homura Akemi stared blankly upward as her weapon clattered to the ground. That nightmare of despair which had plagued her through nearly a hundred loops, like an insurmountable mountain, had actually... simply vanished?!

Yet even more shocked than the magical girls, to the point that their entire worldview was crumbling, were the alien Incubators!

On balcony railings and streetlight poles,

tens of thousands of Kyubey clones had red eyes that had never shown any fluctuation, now flashing at an utterly frenzied speed!

"Warning! Warning! Logical conflict!"

"The energy released by the target life-form... has an absolute zero dissipation rate? No, it is more than zero! This golden light is creating pure energy from nothing?!"
