Chapter 221 All Gone

"And under such circumstances..."

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the blocky figure suddenly broke free from its bound shell, revealing itself and standing aside waving.

The next moment, a yellow, gel-like cube took over the space.

This is something that Fang Zheng's Stand 'Yellow Restraint' dropped after he killed a Stand user named Labasso in the second world.

The Yellow Temperance is an invincible Stand with almost absolute defensive capabilities. It can completely ignore kinetic energy, whether it's the impact force that can destroy a mountain, the static pressure of a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, or extreme high and low temperatures, strong alkalis and acids, etc. It can ignore almost all external interference.

Its potential is frighteningly high; at least in the tests Fang Zheng conducted, it could ignore even attacks from Emperor-level enemies.

The cube that fell from Yellow Temperance, after being tested by Fangzheng, was confirmed to have inherited all of its original abilities, except that, as a fallen object, it could not change shape or act autonomously like the original Stand, nor could it automatically devour flesh.

It is a supernatural buffer that is almost indistinguishable from an absolutely rigid body in the mathematical sense.

"Familiar!" The moment they saw the cube appear, Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura immediately became alert, their spears and flintlock pistols poised to fire at any moment.

The young man, Fang Zheng, showed no sense of danger. Looking at the yellow, gel-like cube, he curiously reached out and touched it.

The strange sensation immediately alerted him to something was wrong. He tried to pull his hand back, but found it was stuck, or rather, it was an even stranger feeling, as if the strength to lift his hand had vanished into thin air. "Is this some kind of special slime? My hand is stuck and I can't lift it?"

Fang Zheng nodded: "Pretty much. It's somewhat similar to slime, but they're fundamentally different things."

"Furthermore, in your opinion, is this thing merely a familiar?"

The boy replied, "I don't really understand what this 'familiar' thing is. I just signed the contract and became a magic warrior."

"However, to me, there is indeed a strange feeling about this thing."

"Hmm..." The boy frowned, trying to gather the magic power emanating from the Soul Gem on his belt into his hand. He finally managed to cut off the special power that absorbed all the kinetic energy from his palm and was able to raise his hand.

He frowned, then tried placing his hand on it again, slowly savoring the strange and wonderful sensation, and said, "This thing... it's so strange, it feels a bit like a heartbeat?"

"A faint heartbeat is slowly creeping along, gradually increasing, as if if left unattended, it will start moving on its own after a while?"

“Of course!” Sakura Kyoko also frowned and approached, her spear imbued with magic, poking at the strange yellow gel cube.

Watching the hole she'd pierced automatically close up like slime, she rubbed her arms, feeling a chill run down her spine. Suppressing her nausea, she said, "Familiars, if left unattended, will eventually grow into witches after consuming enough people!"

"You bastard!" The crimson spear pointed directly at Fang Zheng. "You wouldn't be saying that you can provide us with enough familiars so we can capture people to feed, and then we can have a continuous supply of witches, would you?!"

“While it’s certainly possible to do that, it’s not quite like that…” Fang Zheng shook his head and explained the origin of the yellow Temperance cube to them. “Judging from your performance, I’ve confirmed one thing.”

"Just like the graffiti witch barrier I saw when I first came to this world, what you call witches is most likely an alternative spacetime structure itself, a world with different rules, and even different logic."

Fang Zheng looked at the yellow Temperance Cube. "In your view, the Boundary Sea Battleship itself is a complete and extremely powerful witch."

"And the yellow Temperance Cube, the one I acquired, is a familiar, and it gives you the feeling that it will slowly come to life over time and eventually grow into a witch."

"Then, everything in the world where I obtained the yellow Temperance Cube can be considered the witch you recognize."

“If that’s the case…” Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then put the leather case back on and took out a piece of paper, on which he wrote dense mathematical formulas on both sides.

Under the bewildered gazes of Sakura Kyoko and young Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng handed the paper to Tomoe Mami.

"What is this?" The top student, Mami Tomoe, took the paper with a puzzled look, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper as she looked at it.

She watched it several times, but only managed to find a few mathematical formulas that stuck in her mind: "T^3 topology, four-dimensional hyperbolic space, noncommutative metric..."

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you mean by showing me these formulas?"

Mami Tomoe was just a middle school student after all. Even these few mathematical structures were things she learned from popular science videos she had watched. She couldn't even understand the other mathematical formulas that filled the whole page.

Fang Zheng explained to them, "These mathematical formulas correspond to the compact three-dimensional torus universe, the universe with normal positive curvature, the noncommutative geometric universe, the conformal cyclic universe, and the hyperbolic time universe, respectively..."

This long string of words left Sakura Kyoko and the young Fangzheng dizzy, while Tomoe Mami was completely bewildered.

After describing the cosmological structures corresponding to all the mathematical formulas on the entire sheet of paper in one breath, Fang Zheng explained: "If you can regard different cosmological structures as witches, and you kill the witches, you will obtain the Seed of Lamentation."

“Each mathematical structure can be defined based on different sets, different axioms, different operations and relations.”

"In other words, every mathematically structured universe can perhaps be seen by you as a witch."

"And if you believe that so-called witches can develop from familiars, then every mathematical structure that corresponds to a different universe, and the universe corresponding to the substructure based on it, can also be regarded as a witch by you."

"Then, I can create all the universes that correspond to mathematical structures."

The silence deepened as she listened. Mami Tomoe hesitated before finally speaking, "So, Mr. Fang Zheng, you mean... you can create an infinite number of witches?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Fang Zheng nodded.

“Oh! Right…” Fang Zheng looked at Kyubey. “The witches that have been defeated become Seeds of Lamentation, thus being marked and unable to be copied again.”

"So, the premise is that the cosmological structures corresponding to these mathematical structures have not yet been regarded as witches and defeated by any magical girl."

"We need to filter out all those who have already been defeated or marked. Only those witches that can be defeated and condensed into Seeds of Lamentation will remain."

"Of course, the number of mathematical structures is infinite, and the corresponding universes are also infinite. Whether or not we filter them, the result will be the same."

“However,” Fang Zheng looked at the three of them, “the prerequisite is that you can fight against these mathematical cosmic structure witches.”

"Of course not!" Suddenly, a clear child's voice rang out.

With a light leap, the cute little animal with a big tail, resembling both a cat and a dog, and covered in fur, arrived in front of Fang Zheng.

Its blood-red eyes stared at Fang Zheng, and it said in a clear, melodious voice, devoid of any emotion, "We've already exhausted all the mathematical structures we could find..."

"Of course, all of them."
