Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

And just then.

“I understand, Professor Möbius.” Madoka Kaname made her decision and nodded to Möbius.

“I will speak with you privately.”

Chapter 225

This was not their first encounter.

Sayaka looked up at the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow along the roadside, her voice tinged with worry, "Thinking back now, that woman was very good at manipulating people's hearts with words."

She looked at Xiaoyuan and Renmei beside her and expressed her concerns.

"Speaking of which, is that woman... trustworthy?"

Admittedly, she possessed the blue pill given to her by Mebius, but upon reflection, something seemed amiss. After all, most of the information they knew came from Mebius's oral accounts.

They did not have a way to verify the authenticity.

"Sayaka, don't worry too much," Madoka gently comforted her friend. "Möbius-sensei doesn't mean you much harm."

“…” Sayaka twitched her lips, her expression somewhat regretful, but she was very self-aware. “Actually, you could just say that Professor Mebius doesn’t care about me.”

When she left Professor Möbius's house, she noticed that Professor Möbius rarely looked at her. He didn't care about her presence; he was indifferent to her.

Of course, Hitomi... seems to be even more neglected by Professor Möbius.

"Rather than saying that Möbius doesn't care about us, it's more accurate to say that... he cares a lot about Madoka." Hitomi's pretty face showed a worried expression, fearing that Madoka would be deceived by Möbius, or by Kyubey and Homura Akemi.

No matter who deceived her, it was not what she wanted to see.

“Mébius-sensei, why are you staring at Madoka like that?” Sayaka crossed her arms, glanced at Madoka, and said with certainty, “There’s definitely something fishy going on here.”

"Perhaps it's Homura who has different feelings for Madoka," Hitomi speculated, though she was already convinced that it was because of Homura that Möbius paid so much attention to Madoka's existence.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why someone like Mebius would pay attention to a seemingly ordinary girl.

"If it's because of Homura?" Sayaka seemed to realize something, covering her mouth in surprise. "Could it be that Homura likes Madoka?!"

"Sayaka, what nonsense are you talking about!" Madoka Kaname stomped her foot, reacting unexpectedly strongly to Sayaka's joke, as if she knew something secret.

Sayaka blinked, and seeing Madoka Kaname's troubled expression, she unexpectedly and considerately changed the subject, "Do you think we can trust Professor Mebius?"

"As things stand, neither Professor Mebius nor Homura have shown any clear hostility towards us," Renmei said. "From beginning to end, they haven't explicitly asked us to do anything."

“However, Mebius wants to meet with Madoka in private.” Sayaka lightly kicked the pebbles on the ground, trying to make Madoka more alert, but then she thought of the pills Mebius had given her.

Their confidence inevitably waned.

"Xiaoyuan, you still need to be careful."

"Yes, I know." Xiaoyuan smiled gently, responding earnestly to her friendship with him.

However, surprisingly... she had a very clear understanding of the current situation, that is, the power to decide the situation always lay with Mebius and Cupid, no matter what opinions or ideas they held.

In fact, it doesn't have a decisive effect on the overall situation.

……

...

at the same time.

on the other side.

"There's always a refreshing feeling after a shower." Möbius stepped out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with a towel. Her beautiful body, wrapped in a white bath towel, exuded a captivating charm as she moved her long legs.

"Mami Tomoe, do you need me to take you back to get your clothes?" She sat down on the sofa and asked Mami Tomoe, who was sitting next to her with her arms wrapped around her knees and a somewhat confused look in her eyes.

The girl doesn't seem to have accepted the fact that she is no longer human, but rather an extraterrestrial being used as consumables for cosmic heat death.

"Lord Mebius, can I really turn back into a human?" Mami Tomoe looked at the mature and charming green-haired beauty beside her. The other woman's confidence came from the bottom of her heart, as if she could do anything.

It can even infect others, making them want to believe in and rely on it.

"Before answering your question," Möbius didn't immediately give a definite answer, but instead asked Mami Tomoe another question, "Young lady, do you understand what humanity is?"

"Is it a gene?"

"Is it the appearance?"

"Is it a soul?"

"Is it cognition?"

A barrage of questions plunged Mami into a brief silence. Her definition of humanity was very simple: a human is a human, just like any other person.

However, if we delve deeper into this concept...

The concept of "human" would become extremely vague, making it impossible for her to answer in a short period of time.

"Humans have never existed; they are merely a kind of identity constructed by society." Möbius's smile was both gentle and cold as he gazed into Mami Tomoe's eyes. "If most of a person's organs were replaced with artificial machines, would they still be considered human? If a human brain were removed and used to remotely control their own body, would they still be considered human?"

"..." Mami Tomoe did not answer. This involved philosophical questions, and without in-depth thought, she could not find an answer in a short time.

Subconsciously, she cast an inquiring glance at Mebius.

“You are human, in my opinion,” Mebius stated first, raising her slender hand to gently stroke Mami’s pretty face. “If you are still worried, then we can also reunite your soul and body, giving you new power.”

"Really?" Mami asked hopefully. Mebius nodded at her and gently stroked her face. His voice was so soft that it soothed her fear.

“If you wish,” Mebius answered succinctly. She could dissolve Mami Tomoe’s soul, the condensed gem, back into a normal human soul, and re-merge it with Mami Tomoe’s body.

However, this does not mean that Mami Tomoe will become a normal person; it simply means that her soul and body, which were previously separated, have been reunited.

In essence, there won't be much change.

It's nothing more than turning evil, becoming a witch after despair, and changing her body along with it; otherwise... there aren't many differences.

"Please help me." Mami Tomoe looked at Mebius with pleading eyes. She desperately wanted to escape this way of life, didn't want to become a witch at any time, and didn't want her body to be just a puppet.

Instead, they wanted to become a real human being.

"Then go take a shower first." Möbius ruffled Mami's hair, then stood up gracefully and walked upstairs, saying to Mami with his back to her, "Come find me when you're ready."

"..." Mami Tomoe watched Mebius's retreating figure, gently bit her lower lip, then transformed back into her magical girl form, left the villa, and headed home.

She decided to move and bring her clothes with her, then take a shower and go find Mebius to become human.

……

...

"Your... power of persuasion is truly strong." Homura Akemi sat by the window, the evening breeze caressing her black hair, as if it might melt into the cold night at any moment. Mami Tomoe, whom she had always found troublesome, had actually willingly become a test subject for Möbius's experiments after being persuaded by a few words from him.

Moreover, given Mami's current state, Mebius could easily brainwash her with a little effort, turning this powerful magical girl into her pawn.

“Mami Tomoe isn’t a very strong person.” Möbius sat down on the bedside and waved to Homura Akemi at the window. After she jumped down from the window and sat down on the bed, he explained.

"She lacks a sense of security and is afraid of loneliness. As long as you can grasp this trait, it is easy to manipulate her. Even getting her to kill someone would not be difficult."

Xiao Meiyan: "..."

Why did she feel somewhat dangerous? This woman could manipulate Mami Tomoe, the magical girl who had once given her an insurmountable challenge, with just words? It didn't seem so difficult for her to manipulate her as well.

"Heh~ Don't look at me with such suspicion." Möbius chuckled and asked Homura Akemi, "Why don't we think about it from a different angle and see what I want to get from you?"

"..." Homura blinked her beautiful eyes and met Mebius's emerald green eyes. Their gazes overlapped, and they subtly exchanged some information without saying anything to each other.

Then, she turned her head away.

"Well, did you figure it out?" Mebius asked with a smile. However, Xiaoyan did not answer. Instead, she stopped time and left the room as if she had teleported away.

Mebius paid no attention to this. She went to the wardrobe and started choosing pajamas. After selecting a suitable white pajamas, she sat down on the bed and leaned against the headboard to wait.

Not long after, an adorable creature jumped in.

“Mebius, tell me your idea.” Cupid leaped onto the soft bed, his red eyes fixed on Mebius, wanting to begin formal negotiations and probes.

However, this mysterious woman... did not communicate with him honestly. Instead, she reached out and grabbed his ear, pulling it as if a human were petting a cat.

However, he didn't care about it.

Creatures without emotions naturally lack a sense of honor and shame. As long as things move in the direction of maximizing benefits, that is the best outcome.

“Heat death, that’s just the…law, or rather the setting, of your universe.” Mebius explained while stroking Kyubey. “Different worlds, different settings. There are worlds that can grow forever and never end, and there are worlds that are born and die once every 129,600 years.”

"And in your world, the final end is set to be... heat death. That's the logic written into the very core of the world. Unless someone can overturn this underlying logic and add new logic to it."

"Simply put, it is a second creation."

"..." Cupid's tail swayed slightly as he seriously considered Mebius's statement. He did not question whether Mebius was lying, but rather considered its feasibility.

After a long while, he asked Mebius.

Do you possess this skill?

“No,” Möbius replied immediately. “However, I can discuss with you how to create a second world and modify the underlying logic of the universe.”

Kyubey remained silent, his red eyes indifferent. This woman... did she want to take advantage of their technology for free, then find their weaknesses and seize an opportunity to wipe them all out?

He remembered this woman's initial hostility.

"Don't worry, I will also provide sufficient ideas and technical support," Möbius explained with a smile. "You probably wouldn't agree to me making a one-sided contribution, so we can only do what's best for each other."
