However, the collection of the Holy Ring did not go smoothly.
Just like in all magical girl anime, not long after she made up her mind, she met other magical girls like herself.
Her name was Ling, and she had inherited her ancestor's magic book.
Like herself, the other party had a reason to collect the Holy Ring. Ling had once caused a major accident because of her own mistake. Many people had been injured or even died because of that accident. Her wish was to return to the time before the accident and stop herself from making such a stupid mistake.
The sudden appearance of competitors was one thing, and the other thing was that the Nightmares were getting stronger and stronger, to the point that she found it difficult to deal with them. This was not surprising, as the hat had already suggested that if the Nightmares were not dealt with as soon as possible, under the influence of the Holy Ring's power, they would definitely become stronger and stronger as time passed.
Inevitably, she met other magical girls besides Ling.
Every one of them had their own will. Perhaps it was for their own selfish desires, or perhaps it was for the greater good of humanity, but they were just like her, gambling their lives in a corner that ordinary people couldn't see, fighting monsters.
In the battle, she saw many people.
There are the destitute; there are those who exploit others; there are those who give quietly; there are those who plunder recklessly; there are those who strive diligently; there are those who eat and do nothing; there are those who stand high; there are those who live hard.
Some people were disgusting, angering the world for their own selfish desires. Some people had boundless love and devoted their lives, moving people.
Humans were a whole. They were annoying, but at the same time, they were lovable.
In the end, she finally understood her own heart.
She wanted to be like her grandmother, to protect mankind. Even though mankind had many shortcomings now, they were definitely not incurable. The fate of mankind lay in their own hands. At the very least, they could not let the so-called Three Disasters and Seven Catastrophes decide the fate of mankind for them.
Every time she fought with other magical girls because of the Holy Ring, it was a clash of wills.
She did not know how much time had passed, but because the enemies were getting stronger and stronger, she had no choice but to work together. However, she found that unknowingly, they had an indescribable tacit understanding with the other magical girls.
This was because they had long understood each other in battle, and the goal of everyone's protection had gradually shifted from the narrow focus of family and friends to the entire human race.
Just like the magical girls of the past, perhaps they all had some small shortcomings as individuals. Some were arrogant, some were not good at communicating, some were afraid of insects, and some had subtle sexual orientations.
However, this did not affect their joint efforts for the common goal.
Even the final ownership of the "Holy Ring" had long been forgotten. They decided to make a decision after they had gathered all the members. After the proposal was passed, she saw a look of determination on the faces of the other magical girls.
However, there was a subtle deviation in the plan. When they successfully purified the last of the seven calamities that had awakened decades ago, the three calamities suddenly awakened and killed two of the magical girls when they were caught off guard.
Even though they were prepared to die in battle, this sudden turn of events was still a huge blow to the magical girls' worldview.
The tragic death of their companions in front of them made them even more grieved.
In the end, the magical girl's team fell apart just like that. Even she was greatly affected by the disintegration of the team that she had built with her own hands. She locked herself in her room to grieve alone.
At that time, Ling appeared in front of her.
The girl who had always been stubborn kicked down the door of her room and brought her out.
Ling said, "Since she was able to unite the magical girls once, she would definitely be able to do it a second time."
At this time, it was normal for the other magical girls to be sad and depressed. However, at least as the team leader and the first magical girl to view the entire human race as her protectors, how could she continue to be so depressed?
Of course, this was just the general idea. In fact, the girl's original words were much harsher.
However, it was undeniable that those words had indeed worked.
She was no longer at a loss. She began to persuade the magical girls who had left the team one by one with Ling to gather all the surviving magical girls once again.
Although the hope was slim, they decided to crusade against the three calamities.
This was undoubtedly the final battle.
If they succeeded, the human race would not be destroyed and would be spared. If they failed, the human race would be destroyed by the three calamities. Unlike the seven calamities that continuously brought suffering to the human race, any one of the three calamities could completely destroy the human race.
At the same time, the magical girls understood that there would definitely be sacrifices in this battle.
However, no one retreated.
When they took that step, they did not realize that they, who were once ordinary human girls, had become true heroes.
What surprised her was that on the eve of the final battle, Ling found her and said something that she did not understand.
"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
The next day, the battle that put the future of the human race on the line began just like that.
The final battle was unquestionably tragic.
By the time they had defeated the first two calamities that had not fully awakened and arrived in front of the final enemy, the magical girls had already been killed. Only Ling and her were left.
Ling was the strongest among them, so he had survived until the end.
As for her, although no one had said anything like that, in the previous battle, every magical girl had tacitly acknowledged her as the team leader. They subconsciously protected her during the battle and tried their best to give her a chance to defeat the enemy.
However, the final enemy was too strong. They did not even have a chance to retaliate before Ling and she were easily defeated.
Not only that, the enemy did not even care about the two of them and directly threw the Earth to the surface of the sun.
Under the high temperature of more than six thousand degrees Celsius, the earth melted into magma. Due to the earth's rotation, large pieces of the earth's surface were thrown into the air by centrifugal force. Almost half of the ocean evaporated in an instant.
The human race was completely wiped out.
Unlike her, who regretted her incompetence, Ling was still struggling even at this point.
She used everything she had as fuel and burned everything, including her soul and memory, to push the timeline forward by three minutes, turning the doomsday scene into a state that had not happened yet.
"Actually, what I wanted to say yesterday was …" When Ling's entire body was engulfed by the magical flames, a gentle expression that had never been seen before appeared on his face. "I like you the most."
"That's why you have to live on. Then, you have to save the entire human race …" Even as Ling disappeared into the flames, his gentle voice still echoed in her ears. "This is my last bit of magic. Take it, Ningning."
"Ling! Ahhhh!"
She let out a sorrowful cry and pierced the enemy's chest with a longsword made of magic power.
