Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 12: Dream
In a barren land, humans wander like ghosts.

This is not a primitive period when humans were not yet enlightened, but a period when the world is heading towards destruction and facing the end of civilization.

The dilapidated city not far away is proof that human civilization once existed. It is far larger than the current Blue Planet. It is hard to imagine the former glory of this civilization.

Seeing these, Cheng Yiran understood that after a year and a half, she had dreamed the same dream again.

People will forget things in their dreams, but not as completely as Cheng Yiran.

Cheng Yiran also dreamed of a similar scene more than 500 days ago, but he remembered nothing after waking up.

Moreover, she herself had forgotten that she had ever had such a dream, as if there was some force preventing her from recalling this memory.

Now facing the same scene again, Cheng Yiran only has some impression of it.

The humans in the picture are very similar to those in the Super Power Era, and they are also at a loss when facing doomsday.

However, they were in even more of a mess because the level of greening in the over-developed world was almost negligible, which was one of the reasons for the demise of that civilization.

It was as if they had returned to primitive times, stuffing everything edible into their mouths. Fighting with each other over scarce food was a common occurrence.

Then someone stood up and declared, "We must unite and get through these difficult days!"

He looked righteous and his speech was passionate...but everything human was based on desire and profit.

As a former politician, he now wants to enjoy people's support and stand above everyone else.

And as the leader of this activity, he has priority access to survival resources.

If he could survive the apocalypse, how would people in later generations call him? Savior would be a good title.

Then opposition emerged.

"The ecology has been completely destroyed. There are no plants in the world today that can adapt and survive. It is impossible for the planet to be reborn.

"Before the end of the world, why didn't you politicians stand up and advocate for protecting the environment?"

The hearts of the people that had been won over were scattered in an instant, and then the leader of this doomsday came.

In every era, there will be awakened people, and their desire is harmony among all families.

It’s just that this time the world-destroying disaster came earlier. They are very similar to the strange beasts of today, with the appearance of wild beasts, but more bloodthirsty than wild beasts.

However, compared to the alien beasts, they are much weaker, even the disturbance-level alien beasts.

But at the same time, they are given the same mission as the alien beasts - to exterminate human civilization, and that is how cities are destroyed.

Humans began to flee again, and their hunting game began until the prey in front of them was completely dead.

The human population was once again reduced, and they began to pray to non-existent gods again, just like the superstitious ancients.

Then, God really came, and He is the epitome of all good things, including innocence, kindness, and gentleness.

He landed beside a little girl who was praying to Him devoutly and asked, "Child, what is your wish?"

The child, without any suspicion, immediately picked up the flower in his hands that had been withered for who knows how long.

"I want to see what real flowers look like. Mom and Dad say they are the most beautiful things."

"Well, your wish has come true."

God smiled and displayed His great power. Immediately, a vibrant sea of ​​flowers appeared under His feet.

He stood on the flowers and asked people about their wishes, and then one wish after another bloomed like the flowers under His feet.

Those who wanted to fill their stomachs had endless food to eat, those who wanted to avenge their families had the power to move mountains and fill the sea, and those who wanted to see various main spirits saw long-extinct creatures...

The world is full of life again, and human life returns to peace, except for the appearance of monsters from nowhere and the gods they believe in.

Oh, by the way, during this period some people also wished to see their deceased mothers, but even God could not bring the dead back to life.

But God can be the mother of all human beings, so she has the image of walking in the world - the most beautiful woman, the goddess of wishes.

Cheng Yiran watched the entire moment when God displayed his great power, but she was not surprised by this power. Instead, she felt pity for God.

This inexplicable emotion doesn't know where it comes from. Maybe it's because I saw her tragic ending in the first week.

Time skipped, human society returned to its original state, and they built a palace for the gods on the sea of ​​flowers.

God is not lonely in this world. The little girl has grown up and become the bishop of her religion. At the same time, countless believers come to pray to her and make wishes.

- She is so kind.

Cheng Yixian thought so, because God would fulfill everyone's wishes, no matter whose wish it was or what it was.

Human desires are endless. Someone came up with the idea of ​​replacing God and becoming a new God, so he made a wish to God and gained supreme power.

He used this power to kill the god, and because the god did not resist, she said, "If this is your wish, then this will be the last wish I can fulfill."

God smiled gently and died gently.

He didn't expect that God's power would also fail, because he did not become a new god, he did not have God's power, nor did he have the faith that a god should have.

But it doesn't matter, he has the most powerful power, he used this power to kill all those who resisted him, destroyed the palace of God, burned the sea of ​​flowers, crushed the old faith, and established a new faith. However, the desire to become a new god is ultimately an unfulfilled wish, because human desires killed the savior god and the mother who gave them new life.

When the first wish that God fulfilled, that purest wish, was destroyed, humans would face the price to pay for fulfilling their desires.

The creatures created by God began to merge with the monsters that once destroyed the world, and at the same time possessed the power of God and the power of destruction. They became more powerful and gradually evolved into something that Cheng Yiran was familiar with - strange beasts.

There is no God to save the world this time, and mankind will meet their due end...

The scene changed, and Cheng Haoran found that he was no longer in a God's perspective, but actually appeared in a magnificent palace.

And in front of me was God, as beautiful, gentle and innocent as I had just seen.

She spoke softly to Cheng Haoran, "Come forward, and I will fulfill your wish."

This is indeed what was said to Cheng Haoran, because the last time he stood there for several minutes, he could clearly see the corners of Shen's mouth twitching.

Cheng Haoran sighed, walked forward, and knelt on one knee before God, like a brave man accepting a blessing.

God asked again, "What is your desire?"

Cheng Haoran raised his head and gave the same answer as last time, "I want to possess the power of the twelve zodiac signs."

God smiled gently and placed his hand on Cheng Haoran's head, just like he had done before to help humans fulfill their wishes. "Okay, I will grant you the power of 『■』."

"Oh, yeah~" Cheng Haoran said perfunctorily.

God's words are different this time, so the wish will definitely come true and the magical girl's power will emerge.

A warm current surged into the body and the shape changed directly.

Cheng Yiran's attitude made Shen very dissatisfied. She puffed up her cheeks at Cheng Yiran like a sulky girl.

Then the god waved his hand gently and sent Cheng Yiran out of the palace, leaving only darkness in sight.

- It should be over now.

Cheng Yiran thought.

I woke up from the dream at this point in the first round, but the scene changed again and an extremely familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"I will buy you some time. It's up to you now, Xinggong." The shining boy appeared in front of him again.

The boy had blond hair and blue eyes, but Cheng Yiran knew that he had dyed his hair blond specifically to better fit the role.

Apart from his hair and eye color, he has no resemblance to the legendary King Arthur and his appearance is very ordinary.

But who could have imagined that this ordinary 23-year-old boy was the last hope of mankind, the first in S-class, King Arthur, Arthur Porgy Cain.

Without getting Cheng Yiran's answer, he rushed towards the huge monster in front of him. This was the last enemy that the heroes needed to defeat, the meteorite-class monster, the Dream of the Past.

There was nostalgia in Cheng Yiran's eyes. If she had the chance, she would definitely merge the power of the twelve constellations without hesitation to create a new form, the Star Palace.

However, it was just a dream and she could not change anything.

Arthur raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Xinggong, if you make a game, you must record this attack. Because it will be very cool~"

“Forge a sword with My Body, Forging a Blade with My Soul, I will lead Everything, Open up, the Path of Heroes!”

He didn't forget that damn chuunibyou before he died.

A brilliant path of light slashed at the strange beast. This was also the last sword that the hero King Arthur swung for mankind...

Then I woke up from the dream...

Cheng Yiran was not the only one who was dreaming. As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. After spending a wonderful day with his beloved sister Yiran, Shen Xinmeng also dreamed of the hand that was extended to her that day.

I remember it was when I had only been training with Hoshigiya for a week, and at that time, they were very busy with S-class heroes, not to mention the strongest hero, Hoshigiya.

After a week, except for the self-introduction on the first day, Shen Xinmeng never saw Cheng Yiran again.

After awakening his special ability and being rated as S-level, Shen Xinmeng embarked on the journey of hunting strange beasts after initially mastering absolute zero.

She had to do this because the silent father who loved her deeply and the mother who doted on her were killed by strange beasts.

Now that I have the power, I cannot stop and must keep killing until the strange beasts disappear completely from this world!

However, Shen Xinmeng's luck was very bad. The first strange beast she encountered was a country-destroying beast.

Everything in my vision became blurry and my consciousness was about to fade away.

- Is this the end? It's really useless...

The strange beast swung its last claw, but before it touched Shen Xinmeng, it turned into particles of light.

"I've already told them that I don't want any apprentices. This is just causing me trouble. But don't worry now, because the master is here."

Shen Xinmeng was so glad that she could grab the hand that was extended to her.
