Chapter 1591: Rikku Joins the Guild! The Energy Fluctuation That Shakes the Stars

Sensing the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from Su Han, the Witch of Despair let out a piercing scream.

A brilliant radiance suddenly surged upward.

From the bodies of numerous magical girls, tiny specks of black radiance rose.

These... radiances crossed infinite voids and converged into the body of the Witch of Despair.

Not only the magical girls, but also countless ordinary people lying unconscious in the real world similarly emitted specks of light.

These... radiances crossed space and time, all appearing in the mirror world.

They merged into the body of the Witch of Despair.

As endless black radiance flowed into her, the Witch of Despair's aura grew even more terrifying.

"... What is going on?"

Homura Akemi felt her scalp prickle; she stared at her own hands, then at the distant Witch of Despair, bewildered and disbelieving: "What are those black radiances? Why are they emerging from us and flowing directly into the Witch of Despair?"

Bai Hu Zi furrowed his brow, forming a guess in his mind, but before he could answer, a calm voice sounded from elsewhere: "That should be your despair."

"Despair?"

Homura Akemi froze in place.

She couldn't process it.

"The Witch of Despair possesses an ability called the Concept of Despair.

As long as any person in this world feels despair, the power of despair will gather into her body... endlessly enhancing her strength."

Aizen's voice remained calm as ever.

"In other words, we are aiding the Witch of Despair, strengthening her power."

Realizing what had happened, Mami Tomoe's face darkened: "... Is using this final move now the beginning of the end?"

Mami Tomoe was now uncharacteristically shaken; failing to aid Su Han was bad enough.

But to become part of the Witch of Despair's power, to become one of her sources of strength—how could she accept this? "This is a good thing!"

Aizen chuckled in disbelief.

He walked over to Bai Hu Zi, put his glasses back on, and his entire aura became subdued.

"... What?"

Mami Tomoe blinked in surprise.

Aizen gazed at the distant Witch of Despair, his eyes flickering.

He said with deep implication: "She has truly descended into a frenzy of desperation! Which means... the battle is ending."

Bai Hu Zi nodded in agreement with Aizen, his voice tinged with quiet reflection: "Indeed, the battle is ending."

In the guild chat room.

Ainz Ooal Gown: "It's almost over! Damn it, why hasn't my popcorn arrived yet? So frustrating!"

: "... Popcorn Mice! You're watching the boss fight and you ordered popcorn? Don't you fear he'll see you and crush your dog head?"

Hei Qi Yihu: "Thank goodness—my cola has arrived.

Enjoying the boss's battle!"

"Ding! Rikku has joined the Hyperdimensional Guild."

Kurokuro: "... A new member has joined."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "Who cares about that right now? Look! It's starting."

On the battlefield.
