Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 350 - 118: Hazy Breath, Zi Yuan

Hyacinth did not go, nor did she hand over her seed.

She was supposed to become the only Magical Girl in Beihai, to protect the other Magical Girls.

But in the end, she became an ordinary person needing protection from other Magical Girls herself.

Such a thing is unacceptable...

She withdrew from the Magic Girl Combat Team and no longer actively fulfilled a Magical Girl’s duties.

In fact, most Magical Girls, if unwilling to join the Disaster Strategy Bureau, can live like ordinary people after registering with the bureau, as long as they don’t misuse their powers.

However, most Magical Girls would not wish to be ordinary people; they became Magical Girls because of strong desires, so how could they abandon their wishes and continue as ordinary people?

So, what was her wish?

She wanted to find the reason and wish for becoming a Magical Girl during her last three transformations.

The first transformation was due to a vehicle accident at Beihai Station, potentially fatal for many. She sacrificed a chance to transform, saving many people, which wasn’t a loss.

The second transformation occurred during an evening run, when she encountered a Disaster Beast attack. It was for self-defense, so it wasn’t a loss either.

Later, she met Jiang Si and told her she wanted to protect everyone and wished for the happiness of all Magical Girls.

She said this to everyone, always on her lips.

As if that could hide her initial ugly desire.

The third transformation was when Keke and Li Yi approached her, saying they wanted to become stronger.

In hindsight, it perhaps wasn’t necessary, but at the time it seemed better. To let them become stronger, she didn’t mind sacrificing her final transformation.

Now only one chance remained. It seemed that holding onto this power for someone or something might not be worthwhile. But teaching the younger generation one last time wouldn’t be bad.

What she regretted was that even after using all her transformations, Magical Girl Hyacinth hadn’t found her reason for existing or belonging.

What is truly important?

What is worth guarding even at the cost of everything?

And for the deceased Magical Girl Hyacinth—

What was her wish?

Her parents remained as usual, always away from home, knowing nothing from when she became a Magical Girl to when she lost the powers.

Leaving and returning each day, casually saying, "Study well."

Whether at school or in the large villa at home, she always gazed at the sky alone.

There was no melancholy, only confusion and emptiness.

It was the Magical Girl Hyacinth who died, unable to transform anymore.

However, it seemed it wasn’t just Magical Girl Hyacinth that died.

She saw the vast Magic Net spread by Zi Yuan throughout Beihai.

And saw the city of Jiangming filled with Disaster Beast skirmishes.

Magical Girl Zi Yuan.

Capable of everything, the pinnacle of all Beihai Magical Girls, her false dream reflected into reality in its most vivid form.

It wasn’t impossible babble.

Zi Yuan’s existence showed her a reachable, achievable real dream.

"Please give me the power to get close to her."

Hyacinth made this wish to herself in front of the mirror at midnight.

Thus, the Magical Girl’s miracle responded to her once more.

...

"Not bad, you are the best of this batch of newcomers."

A cold voice interrupted Hyacinth’s thoughts, and she looked up at the high-standing purple Magical Girl.

The glaring light ball obscured her view of the other’s face, yet her mind filled in the other’s indifferent and arrogant demeanor.

"Where is this place?" Hyacinth asked.

"Think carefully; it should have already embedded all this into your mind."

Hyacinth thought hard but couldn’t figure out where she was, her mind blank.

Then the large light ball flickered, something flashed into their eyes.

"Holy Hall, Main God Space, survival and life, mainline tasks, game, exchange table..."

Although not embedded into her mind, it felt nearly the same when implanted into her eyes.

"Newbie, you’re really lucky." Magical Girl Zi Yuan shifted her legs as if they were numb, "Choose, join the Holy Hall and pledge allegiance to me, or hand over the Miracle Seed and become ordinary."

Coral beside timidly raised her hand, "I, I am fine with either."

After all, wanting to join the Cyan Cloud Sect was just to see Miss Zi Yuan more often. Here, she could meet her directly, without tests.

A huge gain.

However, Miss Zi Yuan was not quite what she imagined. She wondered if she could connect with her, and she was a boy before transforming. Coral wasn’t good at talking to boys...

"But, but I haven’t been home for a long time, my parents might worry, can I go home and check in?"

"After registration."

"Thank you, thank you, Miss Zi Yuan!"

The title "Miss Zi Yuan" seemed to make the other a bit uneasy. After shifting in her seat, Zi Yuan looked at Hyacinth again, "And you? Will you hand over the Miracle Seed or join the Holy Hall and complete the tasks?"

"My Miracle Seed comes from Mirror Country." Hyacinth didn’t hide it, taking out the seed and exposing everything openly to the other, "To fulfill my dream, I made a deal with Mirror Country, regained the Magical Girl powers, to battle in the Heart Image Remains for them."

"Dream?"

"Haven’t you heard it before?" Hyacinth said softly, "At the academy, I once told you."

At that time, it was false, a disguise of lies.

"Forgot."

"I wish to protect this world, to shield all Magical Girls, allowing them to live happily and peacefully as ordinary people without the need to fight as Magical Girls."

Born from an ugly desire, adorned with selfish excuses.

Yet, who can say a false wish cannot become true?

Looking at the purple girl with hollow eyes, in her vision, in the faded world, only Zi Yuan bore color.

Radiant and beautiful purple.

Constantly painting and filling the void puppet, coloring her pale, false wish.

Transforming into an unshakable reality.

"I want to protect all Magical Girls, to make them smile worldwide, including you, Magical Girl Zi Yuan."

"I also want to be your support, to see your smiling face, even if I get hurt and lose countless times."

"I want you no longer to bear the duties of a Magical Girl, no longer suffer the torment of this life-and-death line’s fear, but live happily as an ordinary girl... as an ordinary boy."

After a long silence, the seated purple girl finally nodded, "I see."

In the glaring daylight, the petite figure slowly descended from the seat; purple flames ignited, and Hyacinth finally saw the girl’s face clearly in front of her.

Like a cub tiger guarding its food, descending from the sky, its eyes hid a terrifying fighting spirit:

"Are you looking to be my enemy?"
