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

"Okay." Kyubey's tail curled up, freeing itself from Mebius's grasp. It then shook its body to restore its fur to its original state before asking a question.

"So what's your idea?"

“To add to or modify the underlying logic of the world, one must possess the ability to create new logic,” Möbius replied. “Chubi, tell me honestly, if I make a contract with you, can I wish to directly modify the underlying settings of the world?”

“It seems you’ve already figured it out.” Kyubey’s tail swayed slightly, its red eyes reflecting Möbius’s figure. “If you make a wish, no matter how outrageous it is, it can come true, but you will suffer an equal amount of… despair.”

The humans before him… no, they could not be called humans at all; they were incomprehensible monsters, their bodies entangled in a vast and incomprehensible web of cause and effect, as if someone were artificially and continuously adding to Möbius's karma.

And the weight of this cause and effect, and the despair.

"Even if you possess a will beyond that of ordinary people and power beyond common sense, you will instantly lose your self-awareness and transform into a witch who destroys all realms when faced with this despair, even if you transcend the universe."

"I knew it." Möbius seemed unsurprised, and tentatively asked Kyubey, "Then may I make a wish upon you?"

“Unfortunately, after confirming your abnormality, we have imposed a separate ban on you,” Cupid replied. “We can grant anyone’s wish, but we will not grant yours.”

What he wanted was to save the universe from heat death, not to create monsters in the universe and destroy the world. As for Möbius being able to overcome despair with his extraordinary willpower.

Don't be ridiculous, that's... extremely unlikely.

To give an example, this despair surpasses all of history. The negative despair accumulated by any witch is enough to make a person completely lose their self-awareness and turn them into a witch of endless despair.

"Is that so? That's a real shame." Mebius didn't mind. She hadn't originally planned to make a wish; she just wanted to confirm one thing: whether she was... in her first life, or more accurately, whether this was her first time standing alone.

From Madoka's attitude towards her when they first met, and Aponia's prophecy about her future death, everything seems to point to one answer: this is not the first time she has entered the cycle of reincarnation, nor is it the first time she has met Madoka.

Instead, they met and reunited many times.

Chapter 226

Magical Girl's Nemesis

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Kyubey seemed to have transformed into a puppet, his red eyes fixed on Möbius without saying a word. Despite his lack of emotion, he still felt a sense of apprehension towards Möbius.

This woman is dangerous, that's his current assessment. If he could… he would want to eliminate Mebius immediately, but such irrational behavior would only make the situation more uncontrollable.

So now he's considering how to handle things related to Mebius.

"Don't worry, I don't want to destroy this world." Shaking his head, Möbius chuckled at Kyubey. "Did you really think I would risk losing my own self-awareness to gain that uncontrollable power?"

It's no exaggeration to say that for her, power... is only to help her pursue what she wants, not for the sake of power itself, and thus she pursues pure power.

That contradicted her goals from the very beginning.

"Uncertain." Kyubey gave this answer. Judging from common sense, the other party would not lose her mind for power. However, everything this woman showed, whether it was her personality or her abilities, was likely a disguise.

It is foolish to judge someone solely by their appearance and behavior.

“…” Möbius smiled. “So, are you going to refuse to cooperate with me?”

“The cooperation continues.” Cupid replied matter-of-factly. He couldn’t risk the world’s possible demise by ignoring the inevitable heat death that would follow. Besides, this woman… possessed the ability to influence time and could easily find an opportunity to deceive those who were unaware of the situation.

Moreover, they could also use this opportunity to learn about Mebius's existence.

“Then it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” Möbius smiled slightly. “I want to inscribe the concept of ‘infinity’ into the very foundation of this world, so that the inevitable heat death of the universe becomes a process within the cosmic cycle.”

"What do you plan to do?" Kyubey's tail swayed slightly, its red eyes still inorganic, but its attitude had changed, treating it as an equal in the exchange of civilizations.

“That depends on how well I understand this world.” Mebius smiled, making Cupid’s tail wag faster, as if he were fiercely weighing the pros and cons of whether or not to hand over the cosmological model they had constructed.

If they hand it over, what benefits can they gain from Mebius?

And just then.

A soft knock came from the door.

Mebius's gaze fell on the closed door, then on Cupid, only to find that he had already jumped to the window, calmly glanced back at him, and then jumped out of the window.

"Come in." Averting his gaze, Möbius said to the closed door. With the sound of the door being pushed open, Mami Tomoe walked in. She had changed into a brand new outfit, which accentuated her mature and alluring figure.

Such fullness and maturity are enough to outshine most women.

"..." Mami Tomoe walked in somewhat awkwardly, greeted Möbius softly, and then slowly walked to Möbius's side, taking a deep breath.

"Please help me turn back into a human, no matter the cost."

On the way there and back, she had already thought about it... The other party couldn't help her for no reason. They must want something from her. It might be her freedom, her loyalty, or they might want her to carry out some dangerous mission.

However, this is still better than being inhuman.

“You’re surprisingly… sensible.” Möbius tilted his head and patted the bed, while Mami Tomoe also sensibly sat down next to Möbius, her posture elegant and dignified, leaving no room for criticism.

"The way to turn you back into a human is to make you my familiar," Möbius chuckled. "Once you become my familiar, your existence will be my possession, understand?"

“I understand.” Mami Tomoe nodded slightly and asked Möbius, “What would you like me to do for you?”

“Fighting, driving, laundry, cooking… and warming the bed.” Möbius held up his five fingers, counting them one by one, trying to think of as many uses as possible.

"In short, it's a maid, right?" Mami Tomoe summarized Mebius's requirements and found that they perfectly matched the requirements of a maid. Of course, this was not a maid in reality.

Instead, it's the all-powerful maid from anime.

“That’s about it.” Möbius nodded, finding Mami Tomoe’s description quite vivid, and Mami Tomoe offered no objection, nodding slightly.

"Yes, I am willing to become your maid... no, your servant."

“Then give me your Soul Gem.” Mebius reached out and took the Soul Gem from Mami Tomoe. Then, under Mami Tomoe’s gaze, he pressed the Soul Gem against her full and alluring breasts.

Pink light overflowed, engulfing every corner of the room.

They're in.

It's full.

It's fulfilling.

I was reborn.

The light faded, and Mebius withdrew her hand. The Soul Gem that should have been in her hand had vanished without a trace, nor was it stuck to Mami Tomoe's large breasts.

"Thud~" Mami Tomoe fell backward, her delicate body lying on the soft bed, her full chest heaving violently as she greedily inhaled the fresh air, her blushing face revealing unprecedented joy.

That was the joy of gaining freedom.

"Congratulations, from today onwards you are a complete human being again." Möbius looked down at Mami Tomoe, who was lying on her bed, filled with joy and satisfaction, and smiled as he spoke. "A complete body, a complete soul, a sound personality—you are human now, aren't you?"

"Thank you, Lord Möbius." Mami Tomoe came to her senses, propped herself up on the bed with her slender hand, and wanted to express her feelings to Möbius in a solemn manner, but Möbius grabbed her wrist.

“It’s getting late,” Möbius said to the maid, Mami. “Warm the bed, I’m getting sleepy.”

After saying that, she pulled the still-unresponsive Mami Tomoe into the bed, using the maid's body to warm up the cold bed, and incidentally using her as a top-quality body pillow.

Of course, she hasn't done anything else yet.

……

……

The next day.

"Mami-senpai, you're on leave?" Madoka Kaname asked, somewhat surprised. "Excuse me, is there something wrong, Mami-senpai?"

"It seems she's not feeling well and has taken the day off." The older boy scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "Women, they only have a few days every month, it's not surprising that they take the day off."

"Ah... I'm sorry to bother you." Madoka Kaname bowed and thanked her senior, then jogged over to Sayaka and Hitomi, who were waiting for her not far away, and explained the situation under their questioning gazes.

"You don't come to school for those few days?" Sayaka asked Madoka with her arms crossed. "Do magical girls have these few days too? It's a bit disappointing."

"Maybe Mami-senpai is preoccupied with something else," Hitomi said with some concern, recalling Mami-senpai's strange state yesterday, and Homura's description of... Mami-senpai's heroic performance in the internal battle against the Phantom God.

I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen.

“After school, let’s go see Mami Tomoe,” Sayaka suggested.

“Okay.” Renmei and Xiaoyuan exchanged a glance and immediately agreed. As for why they didn’t go now, it was because they were both good kids and couldn’t skip class.

After school.

Following the address provided by their mentor, the three of them found Mami Tomoe's address and discovered that Mami was moving in... no, to be more precise, they found Mami Tomoe who had already moved in and was locking up the door.

“It’s you guys.” Mami Tomoe pulled out the key and looked at the three of them. “I’m sorry to have worried you. I’m fine and don’t have any illnesses.”

"That's great." Madoka breathed a sigh of relief. Sayaka and Hitomi, who were standing next to her, also breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Mami Tomoe was safe and sound.

The other party's energy and spirit were not as broken as they were yesterday.

"Mami Tomoe, where are you moving to?" Sayaka suddenly asked curiously. In response, Mami Tomoe slightly raised her hand, showing off the maid outfit she was wearing.

"Now I am Lord Mebius's servant, and from now on, I will be Lord Mebius's personal maid." At this point, as if afraid that the three of them would misunderstand, she added, "Lord Mebius, you helped me regain my human identity and prevented me from becoming a witch. In return, I will become Lord Mebius's personal maid."

"..." Sayaka, Madoka Kaname, and Hitomi exchanged glances, unsure how to judge whether they thought Mebius's payment was excessive or appropriate.

Not good to rate.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to become magical girls, you can go to Lord Mebius." Mami Tomoe seemed to remember something and said to the three of them, "As the price for gaining power, you have to help hunt witches, and then give the Seed of Grief to Lord Mebius for research, or you can capture magical girls and give them to Lord Mebius."

“We can understand the Seed of Lamentation,” Hitomi asked Mami, “but what is the purpose of capturing magical girls?”
