Chapter 122

"Cows, pigs, ducks, chickens; compared to other wild animals, the advantage of breeding offspring as a species is overwhelming; isn't this a win-win relationship between you?"

"Are you saying... we are in this kind of relationship?", Madoka asked hoarsely.

"We don't treat humans as livestock," Kyubey shook its head, "On the contrary, we have always been making concessions to you."

"In any case, we are negotiating on the basis of acknowledging you as intelligent life forms," looking at Madoka who was still silent, Kyubey tilted its head, "Don't believe it?"

"Then let me show you the history that Incubators and humans have walked together."

"We have been interfering with your civilization since the beginning of history."

Ancient East, Ancient India, Ancient Babylon, Ancient Egypt——

Countless girls signed contracts with Incubators, realized their hopes, and then surrendered to despair.

Starting from prayer and ending in a curse, this is the loop that a large number of magical girls have repeated until now.

Hope——Confusion——Despair, all magical girls are like this.

"It's not us who betrayed the magical girls, but their wishes; no matter what hope it is, as long as it doesn't conform to common sense, it will definitely breed some kind of distortion."

"Isn't it a matter of course that disaster is born from it in the end?"

"If you call such a matter-of-course ending betrayal, then in the end, prayer itself is a mistake."

But it's not stupid; it's precisely because of their sacrifices that human history can be woven; this is a fact.

"In this way, with all the tears left in the past as the cornerstone, your current life is achieved."

Tears flowed silently down the girl's cheeks; Madoka couldn't believe that so many girls had...

"So, why do you still treat the fate of mere acquaintances specially now?", Kyubey comforted.

"When you were watching them all the time, didn't you feel anything? Didn't you want to understand how painful everyone was?", Madoka questioned.

"If we could understand this problem, we wouldn't need to come to this planet specifically to solve the problem."

Kyubey said as a matter of course, "In our civilization, the phenomenon of emotion is just an extremely rare mental illness, so when we discovered you humans, we were taken aback."

A world where all individuals possess their own emotions and can coexist is simply unimaginable.

"If you hadn't come to this planet...", Madoka muttered.

"Then you might still be naked, staying in caves."

【Aizen: "Every individual has selfish motives; human compassion and empathy are built on the basis of self-love."】

【Trisolarans: "Humans, a small yet shocking existence."】

【Uchiha Madara: "A world where everyone understands everyone is impossible; the final method is to suppress all of this with absolute force!"】

【Emiya Kiritsugu: "Higher civilizations really aren't like humans..."】

【Beyonder: "Heh, they are just able to unite against outsiders; isn't expanding survival the instinct of all races? Interstellar aggression, multiverse invasion, when has it ever stopped? A truly peaceful world, perhaps only that person can create it."】

【Ruby: "Ahhhhh! Talking a bunch of big truths, I don't want to listen at all! I only know that magical girls are the most beautiful existence! Kyubey, you scum!"】

【

The wind and rain became increasingly violent; in the eyes of ordinary people, this was a natural disaster, but Madoka knew that Walpurgisnacht had descended.

Madoka took the initiative to find Homura and told Homura that she was willing to become a magical girl to defeat Walpurgisnacht.

But as soon as Madoka said it, she was immediately stopped by Homura.

Homura told Madoka the whole truth; she had already repeated it countless times within this month, just to find a path to save Madoka.

But as the number of time travels increased, her relationship with Madoka grew further and further apart, and even after learning the truth, she even shook her own heart!

Until what Madoka just said, she firmed her heart again; no matter what, she must protect Madoka!

In this way, Homura stopped Madoka and went to fight Walpurgisnacht alone.

But even though she was fully prepared this time, Homura was still no match for Walpurgisnacht.

Madoka, who had already fled to the rescue center, left her family and came to a super-large floor-to-ceiling window.

"Is it true that Homura said one person can win?", Madoka asked softly.

"If I deny it, will you believe me?", Kyubey asked back, "There's nothing special to say anymore; witness it with your own eyes."

"How far can Akemi Homura go?"

"Why is she still fighting at this point...", Madoka muttered.

"Because she is still pursuing hope; if it doesn't work, this timeline will turn into nothingness again, and Homura will continue to fight."

"But doing anything is useless; Madoka's fate will never change; the moment she is convinced, Akemi Homura will turn into despair and become a Grief Seed."

Rather than saying Akemi Homura created Madoka, it's better to say Madoka cursed Homura.

"As long as one has hope, can one not be saved?"

"That's right, you've seen it too."

That's right... becoming a magical girl is despair, but... but!

How can I let Homura bear such pain alone!

The girl turned to leave, but a hand grabbed her, "Where are you going?"

"Mom?!", Madoka was startled.

"I... must go save my friend."

"Leave that kind of thing to the fire department," Junko Kaname said expressionlessly.

"It won't work if it's not me," the girl retorted, but a slap landed on the girl's face.

"Life is not yours alone! Doing such an impulsive thing, the people around you will..."

"I know, I know... I also love Dad and Mom very much, so I can't waste myself; precisely because of this, I must value everyone, I must protect everyone!"

"... Can't you explain the reason? It's fine to take me with you."

But the girl's silence answered everything, "Mom said you raised me to be a good child, right? I won't lie, and I won't do bad things; do you still believe in me like that now?"

090 Junko Kaname seemed to know something; pain flashed in her eyes, "You will absolutely not do anything stupid, right? You weren't instigated by anyone's lies, right?"

"Yes!"

Then go——

】

Naruto World

"Is this a real mother...",

Gentle, reliable, trusting...

Envy flashed in Naruto's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

But he is a child without a mother...

【

Sharp laughter echoed in every corner of the world——

Walpurgisnacht descended, the world turned into ruins, and Homura's figure was knocked away time and time again.

"Why! No matter how many times, I can't win against that guy!", her limbs were shattered, her magic was exhausted, she couldn't even recover...

Homura felt that she could no longer fight, and instinctively wanted to reverse time.

"If I repeat it, Madoka's causality will increase again, but..."

The contradiction in her heart made the girl's heart ache so much she couldn't breathe; filth gradually invaded the Soul Gem, and the lost girl completely lost her direction at this moment.

I... in the end... didn't change anything at all!!!

Despair spread completely, and the witch was about to be born at this moment!

But just at this moment...

"Enough, it's already enough, Homura."

A pair of gentle hands held Homura; Homura looked at Madoka in disbelief.

"Madoka... could it be?!"

"Homura, sorry, I'm going to become a magical girl," Madoka smiled apologetically.

"Then... then what was I doing all this for?", Homura still wanted to stop her.

"Sorry, sorry, I've been protected by Homura all this time, which is why I am who I am today; I finally found my answer," Madoka hugged Homura gently.

"Containing the fate of countless worlds, you who have become a causal singularity, any wish can be realized, right? Tell me, Madoka, what is your wish?", Kyubey stared at Madoka tightly.

"My wish is...", the girl smiled gently.

"All universes, all witches of the past and future, I will personally——"

Causality gathered, the void shattered——something... sufficient to shake the universe appeared!

All living beings looked toward there in shock!
