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

"So can I understand that you and Mebius have no cooperative relationship, so it doesn't matter if I kill you or hurt your friends?"

"I won't allow you to hurt Madoka!" Homura Akemi raised her gun, aiming at Madoka's head, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

Kyubey paid no attention to this, and simply glanced back calmly. Before anyone knew it, several Kyubeys appeared on the balcony, casting strange looks at Homura Akemi.

"Answer me, are you... an enemy, or our partner?"

"If the answer is partners, what do you plan to do?" Kaname Madoka stepped forward and stood in front of Akemi Homura. She knew that Homura had sacrificed a lot for her, that long and endless cycle of reincarnation was just to save her life.

So, whether out of a sense of compensation or some other reason, they chose to stand up.

“If we’re partners, then I won’t hold it against you for killing my body,” Cupid replied. “However, you need to give me back my corpse to use.”

“I understand.” Madoka Kaname nodded slightly, took Kyubey’s body from Homura Akemi’s hands, and returned it to Kyubey.

Then she witnessed a horrifying scene: several Kyubeys, who were clearly of the same kind, were feeding on the corpse of a dead Kyubey, quickly devouring it completely.

"The research has yielded results. We have mastered... the technology to alter the world's underlying settings." A Kyubey with blood on its mouth spoke to Homura Akemi.

"However, we still lack the immense power to expand the scale of magical girls and sow even greater despair and hope."

"What do you want to do?!" Homura Akemi's pupils contracted, but the Kyubeys did not answer and left one by one until only one remained.

"This is confidential," Kyubey said, then left the window. Their race did not lie, but they could refuse to answer or only reveal part of the truth.

Judging from the current situation, his misleading was very successful.

……

...

"Is this how you're going to reshape the world?" Homura Akemi covered her forehead, her expression grim. From Kyubey's words, she could tell what Kyubey was planning to do: expand the scale of magical girls, or artificially create more teenage girls and then lure them into becoming magical girls.

In such a situation, the world... would become hell.

"I'm sorry, Madoka." She turned around and apologized softly to Madoka Kaname. "I may... have to say goodbye to you again, even though we just rebuilt our bond."

"It's okay. Even if Homura reincarnates countless times, I will definitely rebuild my bond with her." Madoka smiled gently and placed her hand lightly on her chest. "Because Homura is a very kind person, it's impossible for her not to care."

"..." Homura Akemi was silent for a moment, then disappeared into thin air from the room.

Upon seeing this, Kaname Madoka paused briefly to think, then slowly walked to the window, gazing at the cold moon as if deep in thought.

at the same time.

on the other side.

"Knock knock~" A knocking sound came from the door... no, it was a knocking sound from the window. Homura Akemi looked through the window glass and saw Möbius holding Mami Tomoe, who was sleeping inside.

Somewhat annoyed, she increased the force of her knocking on the window.

"...Hmm...What's wrong?" Mebius asked sleepily, looking in the direction of the voice. She saw Homura Akemi standing by the window, staring at her with a cold and displeased look, as if urging her to open the door quickly.

In response, she pointed to Mami Tomoe, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and gently made a shushing gesture.

Be quiet.

"..." Homura Akemi was silent for a moment, then beckoned to Mebius with her finger, pointed to the scenery outside the window, and gestured for him to come out and talk to her.

However, Möbius, with the beauty in his arms, seemed somewhat reluctant, burying his head and rubbing against Mami's full breasts, silently expressing his rejection.

In response, Homura Akemi urged Mebius to come out as soon as possible with an even more reprimanding look, and the two stared at each other for a while.

Until, for the time being, Möbius... chose to compromise. She gently pushed Mami Tomoe away from her arms, gently covered her with a blanket, and then quietly and stealthily climbed out the window.

The two went up to the roof and sat side by side.

The evening breeze blew.

A little cold.

"What do you want so late?" Möbius shifted his body closer to Homura Akemi, as if they could warm each other through this action.

This is roughly the principle behind friction generating heat.

“Kyubi said that you… have found a way to modify the underlying logic of the universe and save it from heat death,” Homura Akemi asked Möbius. “But, the prerequisite is that you have enough energy, right?”

“That’s right.” Mebius crossed his arms and gently wiped his arms, as if he was a little uncomfortable from the evening breeze, a stark contrast to his usual domineering and all-powerful demeanor.

“Even if I threw you into Antarctica, you wouldn’t be cold.” Homura glanced at Mebius, who looked somewhat pitiful, and tried to get close to her, but couldn’t stop her from taking advantage of the situation.

Of course, this is normal.

During her time in the cycle of reincarnation, her body had already been thoroughly understood by Möbius, and even her soul had been deeply understood by him.

At this point, it was just about sticking together for warmth, which wasn't worth caring about for her, not to mention that Möbius came into this world for her sake.

Therefore, it's not appropriate to be too indifferent to Mebius.

“...Whether I feel cold or not depends on my heart,” Möbius explained, though his tone was neither entirely honest nor entirely righteous. “As the saying goes, if your heart is cold, you will naturally feel cold as well.”

"Getting back to the point, how exactly do you and Kyubey plan to obtain that enormous energy source?" Homura Akemi twitched her lips, deciding it was better to discuss serious matters.

However, Mebius smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he touched his arms with both hands and said something to Homura Akemi.

"It's so cold, and I can't quite remember how to get energy."

Xiao Meiyan: "..."

She took a deep breath, glared at the sly smile on Möbius's face, and knew that this despicable woman was trying to blackmail her.

However, she does want to know this information now.

She stood up, came up behind Möbius, the evening breeze ruffling her black hair, then gently knelt down, hugged Möbius, and asked in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"Are you satisfied with this?"

"I think I remember now." Mebius narrowed her eyes slightly, as if the warmth from the delicate body behind her was unlocking her frozen memories.

"There are three considerations at present. The first is to gather all the materials in the observable universe, create a dark celestial body, return everything to its origin, and then recreate the world."

"However, implementing this plan would be too difficult and time-consuming; it is absolutely impossible to do in just a few thousand years."

"The second is to create a perpetual motion machine to directly power the entire universe. However, whether it can be successful, and whether the current universe supports the creation of a perpetual motion machine, are all unknowns."

"And the last one is the increment. We will create a race that is entirely composed of magical girls. They possess everything that teenage girls have, and they can give birth. Furthermore, each magical girl will automatically sign a contract with Kyubey at birth. Once they despair and turn into witches, Kyubey will be able to collect energy."

"In theory, this race, which is entirely composed of magical girls, can expand its population and spread to many corners of the universe by having girls give birth, as long as no accidents occur."

"In the end, the ever-increasing number of magical girls is like an endless supply of leeks, constantly providing Kyubey with energy to accumulate enough energy to modify the underlying logic of the world."

"How about it, isn't it great?"

After listening.

Homura Akemi fell silent, as if there was nothing wrong with what Mebius had done. She had already created a new species and had not harmed the current humans. The magical girls she created were at most... a species that were the same as humans, yet completely different.

This is like the difference between monkeys and humans.

but.

"Is this really...your plan?" she asked Möbius. "I don't think you would come up with such a boring plan."

Admittedly, all of the above solutions seem feasible, but they all take a long time to implement. With the points she has accumulated, it is not enough to keep Möbius in her world for long.

Yes, now Möbius needs to consume the points given by the Reincarnation Space to stay in this world.

Her points were clearly insufficient to support Mebius in staying in this world to complete his plan.

Of course, she could also continue to earn points, constantly increasing the time Möbius stays in her world, but earning points... is not easy.

First, you must pass three assessments to unlock the points system. The points you earn each time you complete a mission in the Reincarnation Space depend on the spiritual points and merits you accumulate in the mission world.

It's not something that can be easily obtained.

“Actually, there’s another plan.” Möbius smiled, pointed to his head, and the implication was very clear.

"Do you want to provide energy to this world to avoid heat death?" Homura Akemi asked doubtfully, but something felt off.

After all, even with the spirit of the Infinite Serpent, it is impossible to power a universe.

In this regard.

“No, I don’t want to do such a boring thing.” Shaking her head, Mebius rolled her eyes charmingly and pointed to her head. “What I’m trying to say is that we… have people in higher positions. We can completely use their power to modify the underlying logic of this world.”

"Who?" Homura Akemi asked, still unable to guess what kind of great being Möbius could find to power the entire universe.

“The president of the Magical Girl Association,” Mabius smiled. “With the president’s power, creating and providing energy sufficient to transform the underlying logic of the world would be no problem at all.”

"Would the president of the Magical Girl Association agree?" Homura Akemi frowned, harboring a very subtle impression of the president of the Magical Girl Association.

However, it makes sense when you think about it.

Most of the members who joined the Magical Girl Association had already met the president of the association, but she was the only one who hadn't.

I had a strange feeling that the president of the Magical Girl Association was avoiding me.

Chapter 229

魔女之夜

“Of course I’m willing.” Mebius chuckled. “The president of the Magical Girl Association wouldn’t be stingy in lending us her power. For her… it’s just a drop in the ocean, no, not even a drop in the ocean.”

"So, you're planning to summon... the Guild Master, to descend?" Homura Akemi frowned. If in mission worlds one could summon powerful figures at will, wouldn't team battles become a competition of who has the strongest backing, with everyone bringing in their friends and family? This wouldn't be a good thing for those newcomers to the reincarnation space, lone wolves.
