Chapter 255 Sisyphus was probably happy.
It was a complete and utter defeat, the first time since its inception.

They were utterly defeated, and completely convinced of their defeat.

The combat skills honed to the extreme were completely crushed, as if they had been crushed into the mud.

Originally believing he had reached the limit of magical enhancement in a human body, he was trying to bypass his own self-awareness and transform his body into a more square form suitable for combat. However, he was completely defeated in one blow by Madoka Kaname, who looked soft and frail.

But Fangzheng didn't care about his failure.

He immediately learned that method of exerting force, then excitedly rushed forward to try it out, and challenged himself again, only to be utterly defeated once more, and then challenged himself again, only to be utterly defeated once more…

Compared to the techniques she had learned in previous battles, Madoka Kaname's movements showed no signs of advanced power generation; they seemed to be just an ordinary punch coming at her.

But this seemingly ordinary punch was so powerful, fast, and precise that it left him somewhat bewildered.

No matter how long they used magic to accelerate their mental thinking, they still had no idea what was going on.

He could only try to copy it completely, but although it had an exaggerated effect in Madoka Kaname's hands, it seemed to be of no use at all in Fang Zheng's hands.

Feeling puzzled and unable to understand it, he asked Fang Zheng, a blocky man, and learned that the extreme superposition of microscopic states, like the flapping of wings of a butterfly in the chaos effect, means that even the slightest disturbance will lead to drastically different results.

Madoka Kaname used her ordinary human body to create a microscopic concerto that required an unimaginable amount of computing power to achieve with an ordinary human body.

An exaggerated efficiency that pushes the human body to almost the limits allowed by the physical world.

Fang Zheng learned from the Cube Man that if he wished, the Cube Man could tailor-make a concerto movement for him and provide him with sufficient computing power to achieve the same effect as Madoka Kaname at any time with an ordinary human body.

But Fang Zheng still refused, because cheating can't provide a good gaming experience.

What interested him more was why Madoka Kaname could possess such terrifying power with the body of an ordinary person—not even a magical girl, but a little girl who looked as soft as a cake.

Fighting is like being in love; you're constantly thinking about everything about your opponent.

So, the magic warrior Fang Zheng began to imitate.

First, there was the physical imitation, by completely transforming his own body into one that was almost identical to Madoka Kaname's, even down to the cellular level.

Under Madoka Kaname's disdainful gaze, Fang Zheng managed to mimic her movements by perfectly synchronizing with them. Although he didn't touch on the microscopic level, he managed to break down all the muscle cells in his body with his bare hands using only his physical body and simple movements, without using any magic.

But that's not enough. It's just a complete imitation at the physical level. Fang Zheng can only barely manage to exert the highest level of coordinated force at the cellular level by perfectly replicating the movements while constantly synchronizing with them.

However, such exertion is completely useless in combat. If there is even the slightest difference in the body or the slightest subtle difference in the movement, it will be completely ineffective.

The blocky man Fang Zheng had reminded him that to achieve the same effect by adjusting the movements at any time, a huge amount of computing power was required.

But why, why is it that Madoka Kaname, who doesn't have that kind of calculation ability, can still do it? And she can do it at will?

Unable to understand, Fangzheng chose to imitate more deeply.

More detailed imitation, imitation of the spiritual level, imitation of their personality.

Because he noticed that his original memories and personality would hinder such imitation, Fang Zheng simply deleted himself.

Only in the new memories and new personality is there an obsession to continue imitating and becoming stronger, and the continued self-identification as Fang Zheng.

Just like in faith-based novels, one wholeheartedly approaches the deity and eventually becomes a saint of the deity itself.

Fang Zheng died as a matter of course, or rather, the original personality and memories of the magical warrior Fang Zheng were gone.

Choosing to completely replicate Madoka Kaname's memories allowed her to understand Madoka, her mental state, her personality, and her obsessions...

Such imitation was still ineffective, because this complete copying only replicated a negligible portion of Madoka Kaname's memories. However, combined with some remaining information from the former magic warrior Fang Zheng, it allowed her to understand why Madoka Kaname had become so strong.

Madoka Kaname's strength stems from battle, from endless battles, battles that are so long and unimaginable that they are indescribable.

Magical girls are products that encapsulate and aggregate all of a person's possibilities, using their personality as a self-referential entity, and self-determining how those possibilities flow outward.

One battle, two battles, three battles...

No matter how many battles there are, whether you win or lose, in the end, it is just a manifestation of a possibility, a change that occurs after the self-determined outward possibility interacts with external things.

But what if we continue? What if we keep fighting?
As the battles raged on, as people fought desperately to survive and fight against the witch, the memories of those battles grew longer and longer, and the possibilities of those battles became increasingly vast.

Gradually, the possibilities related to combat became increasingly vast, like a super database containing the best answers to any situation.

Each battle merely reveals a perfectly sized corner of that chaotic and profound vast database.

Just like the database hypothesis, a complete computer database contains all the questions that humans can ask and their answers. No matter what kind of question is input from the outside, this computer can provide the corresponding answer.

In that memory, Madoka Kaname, as a magical girl, had already accumulated all the solutions to reach the mathematically optimal solution through endless battles.

When faced with a specific situation, one only needs to retrieve the corresponding answer from the vast database.
This database is not static, but is constantly updated and expanded as she experiences and battles.

When faced with a specific situation, Madoka Kaname, as a magical girl, possesses an indescribable database containing all her possibilities, which can perfectly produce the optimal answer, much like solving a math problem.

This is an instantaneous reaction, completely surpassing the speed of human thought.

A strange, inhuman instinct spontaneously drives Madoka Kaname to act, directly converting the optimal output into physical movements. Without needing to engage in any extra conscious thought, she can unleash power that reaches the limits allowed by the physical world with that girl's body.

However, although the unknown database provides the logically optimal solution, Madoka Kaname's emotions and psychological state will also affect the final action choice. Otherwise, the magic warrior Fang Zheng would have died on the spot with just the first attack upon meeting him.

However, there is still a problem. She clearly remembers her memories, but she can only find vague memories of battles. Most of them are probably hidden deep in Madoka Kaname's soul.

But a soul, without becoming a magical girl, even if Madoka Kaname inherited many memories from the corpse of another version of herself, shouldn't be able to possess the same fighting instincts as Madoka Kaname as a magical girl, right?

What is the answer?
It's an algorithm!
Ingenious algorithms, through efficient information representation, powerful generalization ability, optimized processing flow, and utilization of prior knowledge, can achieve very complex and powerful functions with limited input information.

A combat algorithm that is extremely streamlined, honed in Madoka Kaname's soul and body through countless battles, and doesn't even need to be supported by the infinite possibilities encapsulated within a magical girl.

A self emerges from Madoka Kaname's endless battle memories, operating according to Madoka's obsession, which can be called the ultimate battle algorithm.

Perhaps it was the lingering obsession left by the magical warrior Fang Zheng, or perhaps it was the influence of Madoka Kaname's memories and personality, that caused her to disappear.

The body that was exactly the same as Madoka Kaname stopped breathing, and the soul gem that originally belonged to the magic warrior Fang Zheng shattered on its own without falling into any turbidity.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean, a single thought merging into countless others, she inexplicably disappeared, merging into a vast collection.

So, after that day, Madoka Kaname would dream about her from time to time at night, dreaming of herself with a fanatical obsession with fighting, reliving every battle she had fought before, trying to summarize the ultimate algorithm.

"Huh?" After listening to this long narration from Fang Zheng's perspective, Homura Akemi didn't know what kind of expression to make.

She asked, somewhat bewildered, "You... he killed himself and then molded himself into Xiaoyuan?"

Is it really worth it?

Faced with this question, Fang Zheng... oh no, at this moment, Kaname Madoka, who calls herself Fang Zheng, smiled slightly: "Why not? Fang Zheng wants to become the person he wants to be, and I also want to become the person I want to be."

She strolled leisurely across the lava-covered land, through Madoka Kaname's memories, with her hands behind her back, and slowly said, "Homura, perhaps I am now just a thought of Madoka Kaname, a slightly different perception."

"But when those endless battle memories are completely exhausted, viewed through my different lens, when the final battle algorithm is fully summarized, when one day Madoka Kaname stops her steps and reaches her end, I suppose I won't be willing to stop then either, and will leave this collection."

"Because what Madoka Kaname wants is not what 'I' want."

"The former Fangzheng has come a long way, eliminating everything step by step, and gradually shaping itself into the ultimate combat algorithm."

“Madoka Kaname will continue on her journey, and one day, she will continue on her journey.”

“Just like you…” Madoka Kaname turned around and gently cupped Homura Akemi’s face. “Aren’t you the same? I’ve chosen to fight more than once, and how many times have you done it?”

"No matter how many times, Madoka Kaname will choose the same answer, and Homura-chan, you will choose the same answer every time."

"People must imagine Sisyphus as happy, even knowing that the stone will roll down the cliff, he still pushes it up the mountain again and again."

"Man may not be able to overcome fate, but he can make choices."

"And you, how many times have you chosen to pursue Madoka Kaname?"
