Chapter 971: Do Whatever You Want to Do

Having successfully infiltrated Mitakihara, Kyubey was naturally exceptionally excited after seeing Kaname Madoka; after all, the power of causality within Kaname Madoka was truly so vast, so vast that it even reached a point that made it feel a sense of fear.

Once a Kaname Madoka possessing such vast power of causality became a Magical Girl, the amount of energy released should she experience despair and become a witch was something that even Kyubey felt a shudder at. As long as this one deal was completed, it would definitely not have to worry about its performance quotas.

As for what kind of impact Kaname Madoka becoming a witch would bring, that was a matter completely unworthy of concern to Kyubey.

As for Akemi Homura, she was preoccupied with the impending arrival of Walpurgisnacht. Furthermore, after Lingyun appeared, Mitakihara had become almost a forbidden zone for Kyubey, which led to her failing to notice that a certain creature representing evil had once again appeared by Kaname Madoka's side.

It must be said that Kyubey's ability to recruit was quite astonishing; it easily dragged Kaname Madoka into an illusion, letting her witness the emergence and fates of countless Magical Girls throughout history.

Facing this terrifying situation, Kaname Madoka's mind suffered a massive shock.

"How could it be like this? This is simply too much! Everyone became a Magical Girl only because they trusted you! To be betrayed after believing in you—this is simply too much!" Kaname Madoka could not help but break down and cry out.

"It is not us who betray them, but rather their own prayers. No matter what the wish is, as long as it does not conform to the laws of nature, it will inevitably breed some kind of distortion, and it is only logical that disasters eventually arise from it. If such an inevitable outcome is called betrayal, then in the final analysis, the act of wishing itself is a mistake..." Kyubey said coldly.

Just at this moment, Kyubey's body suddenly twisted, presenting a bizarre posture in front of Kaname Madoka.

"That really is a whole lot of twisted logic!" Lingyun's figure stepped out from the Void, looking at the Kyubey before him with eyes full of coldness.

"Since you say that the act of wishing itself is a mistake, then when these girls made their wishes, did you inform them of the consequences of having those wishes granted? This practice of deliberately concealing the important contents of the Contract and obscuring the price of the Contract is truly disgusting!"

"Teacher..." Seeing Lingyun suddenly appear, Kaname Madoka could not help but widen her eyes.

"Strange teacher, what is your origin? Why have I, who have traversed human history, never seen your figure before?" Although twisted into a strange shape by Lingyun's power, Kyubey acted as if it felt nothing, its crimson eyes staring fixedly at Lingyun.

"You don't need to concern yourself with my origin. I have a deep hatred for someone like you who arbitrarily conceals the terms of a Contract! What have you taken those children who sacrifice themselves to be?"

Looking at the Kyubey before him, Lingyun could not help but recall the past when he had accidentally signed a contract with the Main God Space, only for the Main God Space to conceal numerous fatal clauses, leading to his life hanging by a thread more times than he could count; the displeasure in his eyes grew even more severe.

"No, it is precisely because of their sacrifices that human history is woven; this is a fact! It is with all the tears shed in the past as the foundation that your current lives are achieved!" Kyubey said with an air of certainty.

"Hey, even if you're going to use a false analogy, you shouldn't do it so egregiously!" Lingyun looked at Kyubey with eyes full of disdain. "What do you take yourselves for, the guides of humanity? This is a bit too arrogant and too shameless, isn't it? The power of humanity is not something that a creature like you, who cannot even understand emotions, can imagine!"

"Is that not so? If it were not for our existence, perhaps you would still be living in caves, naked," Kyubey said.

"Ha, that is truly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! The brilliance of humanity is not as weak as you imagine! Otherwise, where do you think the power of those children who become Magical Girls comes from? You also said it yourself: those who possess powerful causality become even more powerful after becoming Magical Girls, and the power released after despair is even greater. Then, the premise here is that they themselves possess powerful causality; they themselves carry an extraordinary destiny—that is the deciding factor! Even without the existence of you Kyubeys, this power would still erupt!" Lingyun stared at the Kyubey before him as if watching an ant.

Kyubey looked toward Lingyun; behind him, it seemed as if a massive Human History Scroll was slowly unfolding, and upon this scroll, it seemed to carry a weight of history that it found unimaginable and dared not imagine.

However, before Kyubey could see clearly what the contents of this scroll were, it felt an incomparably heavy force applied to its body, instantly crushing it completely.

Watching the Kyubey before her turn into fragments and disappear, Kaname Madoka could not help but be startled. Afterward, she looked toward Lingyun's direction with some unease.

From Kaname Madoka's gaze, Lingyun seemed to see a certain resolute light. Since spending this time with Kaname Madoka, he also knew that although she appeared somewhat weak on the surface and sometimes even lacked her own opinions, in reality, she hid a resilience in her bones that others could hardly imagine.

"Teacher, do you think Kyubey's actions are right or wrong?" Kaname Madoka asked with some unease.

"Personally, I think they are absolutely wrong!" Lingyun said decisively.

"Why?"

"Didn't I say before? When Kyubey signs contracts with those girls, it uses the method of granting wishes; in a sense, this is a transaction. Since it is a transaction, both parties should openly and honestly lay out the rewards and the costs. But Kyubey is clearly not doing that, is it?" Lingyun said.

"When it signs a contract with a Magical Girl, it conceals the risks involved and only places what can be gained in front of you; this is clearly malicious deception. It is like someone placing a piece of candy in front of you and telling you, 'Help me with a favor and I will give you this candy,' but they don't tell you that this candy is laced with a fatal poison. As long as you touch this candy, you will surely die. Would you say that is right?"

"Of course it is wrong!" Kaname Madoka could not help but say.

"That's right, that is exactly it." Lingyun reached out and patted Kaname Madoka's head.

"Teacher, I want to..."

"Do whatever you want to do. You must remember, no matter when, Teacher will always stand behind you and extend a helping hand when necessary!" Lingyun did not let Kaname Madoka finish her sentence.

"I, I understand!" Kaname Madoka nodded heavily.
