Chapter 258 Separation, Pursuit, and the Principle of the Circle
“Is that so…” Kyubey slowly closed his ruby-like eyes and whispered, “If your wish can truly come true, then you will bring a new order to this infinitely chaotic and disordered universe.”

"This fixed order is completely different from the path we incubators take to pursue infinite possibilities; it will choose from an infinitely expanding range of possibilities."

"If you really do that, then the incubators engraved in the bottom of the universe may completely disappear, and you will become the new mechanism for the universe's self-growth itself."

Madoka Kaname smiled and said, "So, if such a wish were to be fulfilled, it would erase you and the incubators. Would you refuse in order to survive?"

The incubator laughed and said, "Of course not. Survival has never been what we pursue. It would be great if we could create new possibilities forever. If we could create something like you, that would be pretty good too."

"Then, I wish you all the best in your journey..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the possibility encapsulation supported by the incubator technology began its operation once again in this new cycle of causal reconstruction.

Kaname Madoka nodded calmly. Then, her body began to emit a soft, warm pink glow, a translucent pink soul gem condensed on her chest, and her clothes transformed into a battle stance she was once familiar with.

However, this time she did not leave immediately. Instead, she held Homura Akemi's hand tightly, a gentle smile on her face, savoring the last moments of tenderness before parting.

"The eternal battle that is about to begin, my first target is Witch Night. So, before Witch Night is destroyed, I will stay here for a while, let us fight side by side one last time."

Then, the two left hand in hand, and to the astonishment of Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura, they arrived at the top of the building.

Sakura Kyoko frowned in disbelief and asked, "Wait, Mantoka? Homura? What are you doing here? And Homura is one thing, but Mantoka, how did you sign a contract? Becoming a magical girl is very dangerous!"

Kaname Madoka explained with a smile, "Because we're friends."

“Xiaoyuan is right!” a cheerful voice came from behind. “We’re friends! You can’t be the only ones taking the spotlight on saving the city!”

When Sakura Kyoko turned her head, she saw a blue-haired girl wearing a military-style blue outfit and a white cape draped over her back.

Madoka Kaname looked at the newcomer with some surprise, while Homura Akemi sighed helplessly, "I knew it. This blue-haired idiot, even if his crush's hand is healed, he'll still find some corner and sign a contract in a muddle..."

"You stupid transfer student! Who are you calling an idiot?!" The blue-haired girl named Sayaka immediately retorted.

"Never mind..." Kaname Madoka smiled helplessly, then stretched out her fist. "In that case, the Takihara Five will be fighting side by side again!"

She muttered to herself, "Oh well, anyway, after I change history, Mami-senpai won't have a chance to know that magical girls are witches, and she won't have a chance to become the goddess of the civil war. Sayaka won't need to keep saying she's an idiot anymore..."

"Oh!" The five of them bumped fists, and the long-absent Mitakihara Five Colors Team gathered here once again.

Soon, the terrifying storm clouds dissipated. The Witch's Night, which was essentially something that could not be dispelled but could only be temporarily subsided, was completely erased by Madoka Kaname's arrow that pierced through the past and future. The five of them stood side by side, celebrating their victory.

As Madoka Kaname smiled, her body transformed into a gentle pink light and quietly disappeared into the wind.

Her eternal battle has begun once again.

Just like Madoka Kaname's corpse last year, no matter what she went through, she would make the same choice.

Regardless of whether she inherited the memories of another version of herself under certain special circumstances, she will continue to fight.

With each reconstruction of cause and effect, with each possible Madoka Kaname, there is a belief in another version of herself that can continue in this long, infinite marathon, in this eternal battle.

She will traverse every universe, every timeline, and every possibility—past, present, and future.

She will count from one to infinity, using her finite life to pursue and transcend the infinite universe.

……

In the process of reconstructing cause and effect time and time again, the trajectory of history has quietly changed.

After a moment of disorientation, Homura Akemi found herself standing in a park, with Sayaka, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko waving at her from a short distance away.

She didn't respond, but turned her head and saw a familiar figure still sitting on the park bench. She asked in surprise, "Mr. Fang Zheng, you're still here?"

Fang Zheng smiled and nodded in response: "Kaname Madoka is starting to walk her own path, and it's time for you to set off too."

“Of course!” Homura Akemi reached out and touched her forehead, revising some of the subtle memories that occurred after the alteration of history.

Subsequently, after history changed, her inherent weapon—the purple longbow—transformed out of thin air under the infusion of magic, and was forcibly transformed into a shield that could manipulate time and space.

She had long since lost count of how many times she had chased after Madoka Kaname, and she didn't know which number Homura Akemi was.

“I will continue,” she said with a determined look in her eyes. “In a universe where all of this exists in parallel, before the infinite infinity is completely reconstructed, I will surely be able to find an infinite number of small circles that have not yet made a wish and have not yet embarked on the eternal war!”

"No matter how many reincarnations it takes, no matter what hardships I have to endure, I will make Xiaoyuan happy!"

"As long as there is one little circle that has not found happiness, I will keep going! The little circle will keep going indefinitely, and I will keep chasing it indefinitely, forever!"

With that, she spun her shield, her figure vanishing once more, leaving Sayaka and the others bewildered as they rushed over. "Where did Homura-chan go?" Homura Akemi will once again reverse cause and effect, once again reconstruct the network of cause and effect, just like those countless untraceable cycles of reincarnation before…

Fang Zheng whispered, "Alright, now all we have to do is wait..."

In Fangzheng's "inner" world, composed of countless possibilities, Madoka Kaname arrived as scheduled.

Faced with that infinite chaotic mass, those endlessly merging and splitting "squares," Madoka Kaname unhesitatingly fired her arrow...

Fang is like a mirror reflecting all aspects of the world; he will react accordingly to different things and different people.

When Fangzheng last met Madoka Kaname, he had already begun to integrate the entire "Fangzheng" group.

Similarly, a peculiar agreement was reached between Fangzheng and Madoka Kaname.

Fangzheng will do everything in his power to help Kaname Madoka; and the help Kaname Madoka can give Fangzheng is to "kill" Fangzheng—or rather, to eliminate the "Fangzheng" collective that represents destruction and despair.

The "square" boulder, encompassing all possibilities and all combinations—good and bad, evil and justice—was entrusted to Madoka Kaname to sculpt and change.

Thus, as time went by, in the unconscious reconstruction of history, those parts of the "Founder" group that could also be considered "witches" were eliminated one by one by Madoka Kaname.

Thus, "Fangzheng," encompassing all possibilities and reactions, including good and bad, right and wrong, began to truly define its inclination: a return to its original, purest desire—"I want to be a hero."

Thus, the infinite number of "squares" that endlessly merged and split began to return to a finite state, began to communicate and discuss with each other, and finally returned to a single entity.

He summarized and reorganized his personality and memories, just like Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi, and completely reconstructed his own structure based on that pure wish.

So-called dreams should be pursued relentlessly, carried out to the end, and continued all the way!

Perhaps Fang Zheng's dream at this moment is nothing more than a dream sculpted from infinite possibilities through external forces and deliberate choices, or perhaps a borrowed dream, but at least Fang Zheng likes this dream.

Just like the magical warrior Fang Zheng, everything—personality, memories, everything else—seems insignificant compared to realizing one's dream.

We must imagine that Sisyphus was happy.

In this vast and eternal universe, in this chaotic and disordered universe, we may be powerless to change all the fundamental laws, but at least we can choose to seize the moment.

This, perhaps, is the greatest happiness that fate can bestow upon Fangzheng and all living beings.

Therefore, Founder chose to take this dream as its core, and like an incubator, it perpetually and continuously creates new possibilities, and built a whole set of consensus algorithms with this as its core.

Simply put, it's a set of agreements and behavioral guidelines that all these "square" individuals can agree on, starting from the most basic human personality and extending to the point where Madoka Kaname helped eliminate some of the negative aspects and merge the remaining ones.

From now on, whatever Fangzheng should do or wants to do will be centered on this, and will not waver.

From now on, no matter what they experience or see, unless the entire "Square" set truly wants to change things, they will follow this algorithm, just like the incubators, just like Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi, and continue to move forward steadfastly forever!
After reconstructing itself, Fangzheng took a step forward, and the countless "Fangzheng" figures that had returned to themselves exploded outward once again.

Now that everything from now on has been decided, the inefficient way of having only one personality carrier and one cube-shaped body moving around is no longer needed.

Founder will do its utmost to the best of its ability, to the limit of what it can do.

First, let's go and help Madoka Kaname.

With one step, countless Fang Zhengs simultaneously entered that chaotic and disordered world. From each different perspective and within each different cognitive frame of reference, they searched for every witch, every monster, and every point of intersection between the chaotic, unsolvable set and the solvable combination, fighting alongside Madoka Kaname, who would continue the battle indefinitely.

How long will this battle last?

Perhaps, it will be forever...

From one to infinity, at the end of infinity, there stands the existence of the self-circulating, cause-and-effect cycle, infinitely expanding, constructed by the actions of all Madoka Kaname and all like-minded people, which may be called the principle of the circle.

……

However, Fangzheng's journey is certainly not over yet.

Having completely restructured itself, Fangzheng naturally and completely cracked the mechanism of the Nether portal.

He will continue to act in all the time, all the places, and all the types of universes he can reach.

Perhaps one day, Fangzheng will find a new dream.

But at least for now, Fang Zheng wants to be a hero!

Let's start right now!
