Chapter 921: Kyubey's Day of Suffering

~7 min read 1,376 words

"Brother, what do you want to do now? Are you going to see the protagonist of this world, Kaname Madoka, or are you going to see that Akemi Homura who possesses Time Power just now?" Ruoxi hovered beside Lingyun and asked with some curiosity.

"There is no rush for this matter. We are going to stay in this world for a while, so let's find a place to settle down first," Lingyun said with a wave of his hand. "However, before that, there is one more thing to do," Lingyun said.

"What thing?"

"Of course, it's to find some trouble for Kyubey!" Lingyun's fingers moved slightly, and wisps of gray-white airflow appeared in his hands.

The moment this wisp of gray-white airflow appeared, the space around Lingyun's body distorted slightly. Seeing this wisp of gray-white airflow, even Ruoxi couldn't help but change her expression slightly, silently lighting a candle for Kyubey in her heart.

This wisp of airflow has a name: Bad Luck. It is the embodiment of misfortune. If one is tainted by this kind of thing, the light consequence is continuous bad luck, and the heavy consequence is death on the spot. For Kyubey, although this wisp of Bad Luck is not enough to kill it, there is absolutely no problem in making it unlucky for a period of time.

Lingyun extracted a wisp from the Kyubey aura he had obtained and then fused it with the Bad Luck. The moment the two merged, Kyubey's aura twisted crazily, as if resisting this power. But its resistance was useless; Lingyun forcibly fused the two together.

After fusing with the Bad Luck, the wisp of Kyubey's aura in Lingyun's hand suddenly became gloomy, filled with an ominous aura. As Lingyun loosened his hand, the Kyubey aura in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light, rushed into the sky, and then exploded.

The moment the aura exploded, all the Kyubeys in the entire city felt a chill on their bodies simultaneously, as if they had been targeted by something terrifying.

"Boom—"

In an empty street, the screws on a long-neglected billboard let out a groan of unbearable weight and suddenly snapped. As the screws broke, the billboard fell directly from high altitude and smashed heavily onto the ground.

Where the billboard hit, a pool of blood suddenly appeared on the ground, and under the billboard, a Kyubey had appeared at some point. However, this Kyubey looked quite miserable; its entire body had been completely turned into meat paste under the impact of the heavy billboard.

In the entire city, this situation occurred in more than one place. Kyubey's clones encountered all kinds of troubles; some were not necessarily fatal, but they were more troublesome than being fatal.

"What is going on? Why would such a thing happen?" A Kyubey stood on the roof of a building, its expression somewhat gloomy.

It always felt that its clones were encountering all kinds of accidents, as if a big hand was manipulating them in the dark. But no matter which aspect it investigated from, it gained nothing. After all, the things it encountered were all accidents—accidents without anyone manipulating them!

"It looks like this wisp of Bad Luck is still very powerful! It wiped out quite a few Kyubeys all at once!"

Lingyun sat on the sofa, with a light screen floating in front of him. On the light screen was a Projection of the entire city of Mitakihara. On this projection, there were red dots one after another. However, every once in a while, some of these red dots would go out or become dim.

This light screen was a Breath Tracker refined by Lingyun, capable of locking onto a certain type of aura within a certain range. After Lingyun placed the Kyubey aura he had obtained into it, he could monitor the existence of all Kyubeys in the entire Mitakihara that did not hide their aura. However, Kyubey would likely not hide its aura, as it did not know that someone could actually lock onto its existence in this way.

As for the house Lingyun was currently in, it was one he had rented temporarily. After all, he was going to stay in this world for a while, so there was no need to buy a house; renting one was quite convenient.

Lingyun took out some Golden from the Cloud Realm and exchanged it for some cash at a gold shop. Then, with money paving the way, he very easily found an empty house. After having someone clean it up, Lingyun moved into the house.

High above, Akemi Homura transformed into a Magical Girl, looking at the city in front of her with a cold expression. Having experienced who knows how many Cycles, she still remembered Madoka falling into her arms, begging her to save the foolish self that had not yet been deceived by Kyubey. For the sake of her good friend, Akemi Homura made a wish to Kyubey to become a Magical Girl, and at the same time gained the ability to control time, thus embarking on a long journey of Cycles to save Kaname Madoka.

In the initial world, Akemi Homura was a self-deprecating girl who suffered from heart disease, was nearsighted, had poor grades, poor physical fitness, was timid and cowardly, and thought she couldn't do anything. But in the repeated Cycles, Akemi Homura's personality also underwent huge changes. She used Magic to change her physical fitness, becoming an outstanding student and an all-around athlete. Inside, she remained kind, but her external personality became increasingly cold and ruthless, using indifference to construct her disguise, like a cold beauty who could not be approached.

"Kyubey must die!" This was the firm belief in Akemi Homura's heart.

In countless Cycles, Akemi Homura had long since witnessed Kyubey's ability to have countless substitutes. With her strength, she could not completely kill Kyubey, so she could only keep hunting the Kyubeys that appeared by Madoka's side. But fate seemed to have a kind of inertia that she found difficult to resist, pushing Madoka's fate toward the path of becoming a Magical Girl time and time again.

"Tomorrow is the day of the transfer. We can meet again, Madoka." A hint of nostalgia flashed in Akemi Homura's eyes.

Just at this moment, a bouncing Kyubey suddenly appeared in Akemi Homura's line of sight. A sharp glint flashed in Akemi Homura's eyes, and she pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the Kyubey not far away.

Just as Akemi Homura was about to pull the trigger, a bizarre scene occurred. A piece of glass on the building not far away seemed to have been hit by something, and it suddenly shattered. Countless glass shards fell from the sky under the influence of gravity, crashing into Kyubey's body with an unstoppable momentum.

Kyubey, who was searching for easily deceived girls nearby, never expected such a disaster from the sky, and its body was directly pierced by the glass shards falling from the sky. Kyubey's body twitched a few times, a look of confusion flashed in its eyes, and then it completely lost its breath.

Akemi Homura looked at this scene, somewhat stunned. This was not the first time she had seen such a situation. It seemed that Kyubey had been quite unlucky during this period, encountering all kinds of accidents. Looking at the dead Kyubey, Akemi Homura ignored it further, activated her ability, and disappeared from the spot.

In the room where the glass had shattered, a Kyubey suddenly jumped out from the wall, looking at the scene in the room with a gloomy face.

Inside the room, a couple was having a full-blown fight; judging from the situation in the entire living room, the battle was very intense. There was also a chair lying on the ground by the window; it was obvious that this chair had just smashed the glass.

After wandering around the house, Kyubey did not find any abnormalities and could only classify this incident as an accident once again, leaving with a gloomy face.

"No, this strange matter must be investigated clearly. What exactly is going on!"

Although it had many clones, it could not withstand the consumption of these kinds of accidents.
