Chapter 1579

Su Han did not answer; he clicked "Start Mission" in his mind.

Brilliant light swept over Su Han and Luo Cuilian.

When the light faded, Su Han and Luo Cuilian had vanished.

...... Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha world.

This was a place of utter, crushing despair.

The sky above was thick with dark clouds, not a single ray of sunlight pierced through.

Torrential rain poured down.

Kaname Madoka, Akemi Homura, Tomoe Mami, Miki Sayaka, and Sakura Kyoko lay scattered across the ground.

Lying there.

"...... Are we going to die?"

Kaname Madoka opened her mouth, then burst into violent coughing; blood spilled from her lips, rippling crimson across the pitted puddles.

"Don't move!"

Akemi Homura whispered, her own body riddled with wounds, her Soul Gem clouded and on the verge of complete corruption—but she still insisted, "The more you move, the more blood you lose."

"What an utterly hopeless journey this has been."

Tomoe Mami's smile was forced; she stared blankly at the colossal, sky-piercing Witch of Despair, "I can't imagine any way to defeat a Witch."

Why is she so strong?

Black light twisted into tendrils, spreading outward, bursting into the real world, dragging buildings and unconscious people into this world of despair...... Black cloth stretched from the void, wrapping around these people.

Everyone seemed turned into mummies, carelessly dumped across lawns.

An endless stream of despair surged through each person, flowing along the black cloth into the Witch of Despair.

This made the Witch of Despair grow even taller, her presence even more suffocating.

"...... What exactly are we fighting against?"

Miki Sayaka turned her head slightly, her lips trembling, "It's like fighting a god!"

"God?"

Sakura Kyoko laughed, her laughter laced with mockery, "I think 'demon' would be more accurate."

A sharp laugh rang out; roses bloomed across the earth, these...... roses slowly entwined the magical girls' bodies, tightening their grip.

Sharp thorns pierced through their bodies, beginning to drain their blood.

"...... I never imagined it would end like this."

Kaname Madoka's eyes were hazy, yet resigned, "I'm just a little... disappointed."

Akemi Homura said nothing; she bit her lower lip, her gaze slowly dimming, and in her heart she whispered.

"...... Leader! If you don't come soon, it'll be too late!"

Blazing lightning suddenly erupted.

In this dark, gloomy world, that lightning was like the first ray of creation—racing across the ground, whooshing past every magical girl.

It tore apart every rose.

".

What!"

"...... Is there a Witch who controls lightning?"

"Wait! This attack didn't hurt us—how is this possible?"

The magical girls' expressions changed.

They could hardly believe what they saw.

The distant Rose Witch sensed danger; her malformed wings fluttered weakly, and she rose into the air as if trying to flee.

But lightning interwove in midair, forming a cage that trapped her body.

Su Han landed before the magical girls, his eyes filled with pity; he pressed one hand against Xiao Meiyan's abdomen and activated the Ma Fu Zhou's power to rapidly heal her body.

At the same time, Su Han extended his other hand, gently tapping a finger against Xiao Meiyan's Soul Gem.

The Soul Gem rippled; the black, murky substance vanished instantly.

The Soul Gem became instantly clear and beautiful.

Despair vanished completely.

"...... I'm fine!"

Xiao Meiyan slowly stood up, staring at her hands, feeling the pain gone from her body, her lips trembling, still dazed.

Even though she had long known Su Han was omnipotent, knowing it and experiencing it firsthand were two entirely different things.

"Yes! As long as you're not dead, I can bring you back."

Su Han smiled gently, "...... Even if you're dead! As long as you're not fully gone—"

"I can drag you back from hell!"

As he spoke, Su Han walked slowly toward Lu Muyuan on the other side, beginning to heal her wounds.

At that exact moment, Su Han's Kenbunshoku sensed the Rose Witch struggling to escape.

While continuing to heal Lu Muyuan, he said calmly, "...... Can you really run?"

The sky, thick with clouds, erupted in thunder and lightning—BOOM! Ten thousand bolts of lightning crashed down, while Su Han's body simultaneously unleashed blazing lightning arcs that surged backward.

The two terrifying forces of lightning collided at the center—right where the Rose Witch stood.

A piercing scream rang out; beneath the furious lightning, the Rose Witch's body began to vaporize.
