Chapter 982: Embarking on a Magnificent Journey Through Time and Space

Seeing Kyubey appear, the expressions of the girls present all sank.

After all, every tragedy of the Magical Girls in this world was caused by Kyubey. If it weren't for Kyubey concealing the important contents of the Contract, the Magical Girls of this world would not have to face so many tragedies.

However, looking at the Magical Girls present, there was not a hint of fear on Kyubey's face.

"It looks like this guy still doesn't know how to repent!" Akemi Homura said, gritting her teeth. "Teacher, can we completely erase Kyubey from this world? Even just looking at it makes me feel a sense of nausea."

Kyubey blinked its large eyes, looking not the least bit afraid: "If it weren't for my existence, you humans might still be hiding in caves, naked! If you destroy me, then human history will undergo a massive change. Can you afford to pay such a price?"

Just as Kyubey finished speaking, its body underwent a terrifying distortion, twisting directly into a pretzel. This state was maintained for a period of time before it recovered, but Kyubey seemed to have no fear of this situation at all.

"I say, aren't you overestimating your own status in Human History? Even without your existence, humanity could still propagate a civilization as brilliant as the Star Sea!" Lingyun said with a cold laugh.

Lingyun opened his hand, and a massive Human History Scroll slowly unfurled before everyone. Kyubey knew this scroll; the last time it saw this scroll, it was crushed by the heavy power within it with almost no ability to fight back. But this time, with Lingyun restraining the scroll's power, it finally saw the true appearance of the scroll.

At this moment, it finally knew what this scroll represented—it represented human history. No wonder the weight of this scroll was so heavy, heavy enough to crush it into fragments in an instant.

"Is this... Human History?" Kaname Madoka gazed at the magnificent and resplendent scroll in the sky, a trace of shock inevitably appearing on her face.

In the Human History displayed within the scroll, there was no trace of Kyubey, yet it had still developed into an astonishing civilization. Most importantly, the civilizations shown in the scroll were not just one, but many!

"Teacher, is this... a civilization you have witnessed?" Tomoe Mami gazed at the scroll in the sky, an indistinct light flickering in her eyes.

"This, more or less!" Lingyun said.

"Wow, in that case, how old is Teacher this year?" Sakura Kyoko asked with some curiosity.

"Me? I am eighteen years old this year!" Lingyun looked toward Sakura Kyoko, a kind smile appearing on his face.

Sakura Kyoko's body stiffened abruptly; she once again experienced the feeling of being stared at by a giant dragon, just like when she had fought Sayaka last time.

"I, I understand!" Sakura Kyoko nodded vigorously.

Lingyun smiled and nodded.

"Teacher was so scary just now!" Sayaka whispered to Sakura Kyoko.

Sakura Kyoko nodded vigorously, indicating that she would absolutely never touch upon this dangerous question again.

"Did you see clearly? This is the power of humanity! At most, you, Kyubey, have only played the role of pushing Human History forward. To think you could sway Human History—you really think too highly of yourself!" The scroll slowly dissipated into the Void, and Lingyun looked in Kyubey's direction, his gaze carrying an inexplicable pressure.

"But, it is undeniable that I have a role in Human History. If you erase me from history, what kind of deviation will occur in human history is something no one can predict!" Kyubey said calmly.

"This guy, it really is fearless!" Sayaka gritted her teeth as she looked at Kyubey, a Command Sword appearing in her hand, looking very much like she wanted to hack Kyubey into eight pieces.

"For dealing with such a rascal, let me handle it!" Lingyun looked at the Kyubey before him, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

Lingyun raised his hand slightly, and endless light was released from his hand, directly enveloping Kyubey. Within the light, countless figures of Kyubey seemed to appear; these Kyubeys seemed to be attracted by some power, continuously converging toward a single point, finally turning into one Kyubey.

"You, what did you do?" A hint of a tremor actually appeared in Kyubey's voice.

"Nothing, I just converged the power that belongs to you and condensed all your clones onto your current body! In other words, you can be considered immortal now. Don't thank me!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Immortal?" Hearing Lingyun say this, the ominous premonition in Kyubey's heart grew heavier.

"By the way, I also repaired a defect in you!" Lingyun seemed to have remembered something and spoke up.

"What defect?" Akemi Homura didn't think Lingyun repairing this defect would be for Kyubey's own good.

"Didn't you lack emotions before? I just replaced that defect for you!" Lingyun's tone was very flat, as if he were talking about something very mundane, yet it made Kyubey feel a sense of hair-raising dread.

"Ah, right, there is one more thing to give you! This is something they entrusted me to leave for you!" Lingyun flipped his hand and took a Grief Seed from the Void.

Seeing this Grief Seed, Kyubey almost subconsciously turned to run. Although it didn't know what was special about this Grief Seed, its intuition told it that if it were touched by this thing, its end would definitely be miserable.

However, how could a mere Kyubey escape from Lingyun's hand? Lingyun reached out and scooped Kyubey directly into his hand, then lifted the cover on Kyubey's back and threw the Grief Seed inside.

After closing the cover, Lingyun casually threw Kyubey onto the ground. Moreover, after Kyubey landed on the ground, its entire body was stiff, as if it had encountered something terrifying.

"What is that Grief Seed?" Momoe Nagisa asked with some confusion.

"That thing? It is the despair of all the Magical Girls before the world was restructured! At the time, after Madoka made the wish to eliminate witches, I stayed by her side, and I was entrusted by many Magical Girls to make sure to deliver this gift to Kyubey." Lingyun said.

"Teacher was always by my side?" The gaze with which Kaname Madoka looked at Lingyun also carried a trace of astonishment.

"After all, the wish you made back then was too massive. I was a bit worried, so I followed along." Lingyun smiled and patted Kaname Madoka's head.

"By the way, didn't you all say before that you wanted to excise Kyubey from Human History?" Lingyun said to everyone present.

"Is such a thing really possible to do?" Sakura Kyoko asked with some surprise.

"Of course it is possible!" Lingyun smiled slightly, and a massive Silver Pocket Watch appeared behind him.

With a light *click*, countless tools used for calculating time flew out from the pocket watch, forming a faint path before everyone, a path leading directly to an unseen distance.

"So, everyone, are you willing to join me on a magnificent journey through time and space?" Lingyun made a gesture of invitation to everyone present.
