Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 114 Tragedy Rewritten, Cause and Effect Reshaped

Wang Bai's awakening was like a ray of dazzling sunlight shining through the gloom, quickly dispelling the despair and unease that shrouded everyone's hearts.

Wang Bai quickly grasped the current situation from Akemi Homura's concise and efficient report.

He looked inward at himself, feeling the "seedling" whose roots had spread throughout the bottom rules of half the world. He was shocked, but more than that, he had a sudden realization.

The growth of the Imaginary Tree has far exceeded expectations, and it now seems to be able to do even more.

Wang Bai raised his head and looked at the group of magical girls.

Before they knew it, so many people had gathered around them.

"You did a great job, even better than I expected."

Wang Bai looked at Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, Sayaka Miki, and the unfamiliar magical girls whose eyes sparkled with hope surrounding him, and sincerely admired them.

"The growth of the Imaginary Tree is a miracle of all your joint efforts."

"But we don't have much time left."

Wang Bai changed the subject, his expression becoming serious. "The Civilization of Transformers has suffered a backlash from the rules and has temporarily retreated, but this does not mean the end."

They are licking their wounds and analyzing data; their next attack will surely be devastating and well-prepared.

We must take advantage of this gap to allow the Imaginary Tree to complete its final transformation and thoroughly solidify this land of hope.

.

He forced himself to stand up and went to the "sapling" of the Imaginary Tree that was radiating a warm light, and gently placed his palm on the trunk.

As his consciousness sank in, he guided the power of the Imaginary Tree, more proactively and efficiently absorbing the despair energy contained within the mountain of Lamentation Seeds.

However, while Wang Bai was immersed in the Imaginary Tree, he discovered that the Imaginary Tree had undergone strange changes after it grew.

The energy generated from the magical girl's soul gem fueled the growth of the Imaginary Tree, and also permeated it.

At this moment, the Imaginary Tree is not only absorbing despair, but also gathering hope.

Further growth requires not only the energy of despair as fertile ground, but also the energy of hope, which is an indispensable part.

Despair and hope are two sides of the same coin.

Two completely different energies combined together constitute a special kind of imaginative power.

This transformed energy gives one the power to arbitrarily alter reality.

Wang Bai remained silent for a while.

Is it really true that it's called the Imaginary Tree?

But now, with this special power, Wang Bai finally has the strength to confront the Incubator civilization head-on.

So now, it's time to gather hope, unlock the magical girl's shackles, and restore her everyday life.

By purifying the network, he issued a silent call to all the connected magical girls: "Gather your thoughts, recall the wishes you protect, and uphold the ideals within your hearts."

"Girls yearning for salvation, gather beneath the platinum halo symbolizing redemption, and be sheltered by the Tree of Imagination!"

Hundreds of magical girls, whether patrolling inside safe houses or among the city ruins, all felt the same way.

They stopped what they were doing, immersing themselves in the state of "guarding their hearts with intention," and poured their most precious and steadfast "hope" into the purifying rune stone, sending it all towards the imaginary giant tree.

At this moment, the light of an individual may be faint, but when hundreds or thousands of lights converge, they form a dazzling galaxy that can illuminate the long river of destiny!

The Imaginary Tree trembled violently, not in pain, but in joy!

It greedily absorbed this vast and pure collective hope, as well as the transformed energy of despair.

Its form is no longer merely a condensation of light, but begins to transform into a more substantial form—natural patterns, like runes, emerge on a tree trunk.

Stars seem to be born and then vanish among the illusory branches and leaves, and the indistinct root system spreads wildly at the level of rules, like blood vessels, about to touch and cover the core of the entire magical girl system!

Wang Bai stood under the tree, enduring the impact of this immense energy, guiding it.

Wang Bai's consciousness was deeply connected to the Imaginary Tree, guiding the unprecedented "Imaginary Power"—a fusion of the hopes and transformed despair of countless magical girls. This power, like a warm torrent, yet carrying the majesty of reshaping reality, surged along the roots of the Imaginary Tree embedded in the world's rules, attacking the "System Core" that had imprisoned the fates of countless magical girls.

However, at this crucial moment, a sudden change occurred!

The sky over Mitakihara City did not darken, but rather suddenly lost all color, turning into an absolute, chilling gray-white.

Time seemed to stand still, but it wasn't the same feeling as when Homura Akemi's time stopped; rather, it was a more fundamental state where "possibility" itself was frozen.

The surging torrent of "imagination power" of the Imaginary Tree, at the moment it touched a certain invisible boundary, was like hitting an invisible, absolutely hard wall, making a silent but soul-shaking roar.

The front of the torrent was violently shaking, and there were even signs of it reversing!

"An abnormal causal disturbance has been detected. Target: Magical Girl System Core Protocol"

'

"Execute the final defense protocol: 'Causality Freeze Field' activated."

The chilling intent was not conveyed through sound, but rather directly imprinted on the consciousness of every being connected to the Imaginary Tree.

That was a declaration from the collective of incubator civilizations! They hadn't truly left; instead, they had laid down this final line of defense in a higher dimension!

In the sky, countless phantom images of QB appeared. They were no longer independent individuals, but formed a huge, cold geometric pattern that covered the sky, like a huge, emotionless eye of judgment, indifferently watching the beings below who were trying to defy fate.

"Is cause and effect frozen?"

At the level of rules, the operation of cause and effect seems to be frozen and remains completely still.

The roots of the "Imaginary Tree" seemed to have crashed into a mountain.

"Stop it."

At this moment, a QB appeared in front of Wang Bai, still wearing a faint smile: "This world is heading towards heat death, and what you are doing, which seems to be saving the lives of such a low-level civilization, is actually just making it die faster from a macro perspective."

"Under the power of cause and effect, the anti-entropy energy unleashed by emotions is the only way to save the world."

.

"I find it hard to understand why someone like you, who possesses the ability to contend with advanced civilizations, would think so short-sightedly?"

Wang Bai sneered, disgusted by the incubator's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor.

They use the guise of righteousness to make others sacrifice, while they themselves reap the benefits.

"If what you say is true, and the world will eventually face heat death, then why are you still striving to find energy that reverses entropy?"

"Why don't you just commit suicide? I guarantee that after you commit suicide, I can prevent this world from heading towards heat death."

QB remained silent; it couldn't understand Wang Bai's logic, nor could it affirm Wang Bai's proposal.

"Your system is built on distortion and concealment! Your inevitability" is built on the cruel logic of sacrificing the future of individuals!

"I absolutely do not acknowledge such a thing. The incubator civilization, which has already gone down the wrong path, must now make way for the nascent civilization!"

Wang Bai combined his own will with the power of the Imaginary Tree, transforming it into the sharpest impact. Instead of rushing towards the solidified wall of cause and effect, he poured it in the opposite direction along the connection between the Imaginary Tree and all the magical girls!

He sensed it—the "string of fate" that stretched across countless worlds and bound countless magical girls.

The cold and inevitable frozen cause and effect, leading from hope to despair, from the Soul Gem to the Witch, is becoming clearly visible under the light of the Imaginary Tree, and—is emitting a mournful cry of unbearable burden!

"Now!"

Wang Bai combined his remaining will with his understanding of the "Third Law," his belief in "Tragedy Rewriting," and the prayers of all the magical girls, and transformed it into a final command, which he then blasted into the core of the Imaginary Tree!

"Based on this world, relying on this tree, and guided by this heart."

Rewrite it! Turn a hopeless fate into a chapter of hope!

Divine Prayer, Rewriting Destiny, Unfold!

The light emanating from the Imaginary Tree reached its zenith at this moment!

No longer warmth, but the primordial light of creation, pure, powerful, and containing the "possibility" to overturn all old rules! Centered on Mitakihara City, the light swept across the entire planet like a supernova explosion, and spread towards more distant dimensions connected to this world's magical girl system!

Wherever the light shines, the rules are forcibly changed!

Every magical girl, no matter where she is, feels a clear, crisp sound deep within her soul, like glass shattering!

The shackles that bound them and constantly dragged them into the abyss shattered in an instant!

The barrier between the Soul Gem and the physical body was completely broken, and the soul joyfully returned to the temple of matter, merging perfectly with it.

Battles and negative emotions still produce impurities, but those impurities no longer accumulate; instead, they are absorbed by the newly generated energy within the body.

The power connected to the Imaginary Tree network is instantly purified and transformed.

The inevitable despair of becoming a witch was completely erased from their fate!

The incubator civilization detected this sweeping change in the rules.

Their systems issued the most alarming warnings, but under that overwhelming "beacon of hope," all monitoring and intervention measures targeting the Mitakihara area instantly failed.

The data flow in the eyes of the QBs was completely chaotic, eventually turning into a bunch of error codes indicating "incomprehensible" and "invalid rules".

"Alarm—Signal lost at Takihara Test Site—"

"Magical Girl System — Regional Rule Library — Overwritten by an unknown entity —"

"Energy Harvesting Module — Completely Malfunctioning —"

"Recommendation — Abandon this area — Highest priority —"

The cold, impersonal instructions are transmitted through the incubator network.

They "looked" at that area shrouded in the pure light of hope, an area that could no longer be reached, and ultimately chose complete silence and retreat.

However, an alternative plan was proposed at this moment by the incubated civilization.

After the entire world was covered by the Imaginary Tree, Wang Bai instantly sensed that a black hole had appeared in the world.

You can't feel anything in that place, except that the incubator civilization is pouring into the black hole.

"What is that?"

Before Wang Bai could investigate, the black hole had already disappeared.

At the last moment, Wang Bai could only use his imagination to create a seed and put it into the black hole.

The light gradually faded.

The Imaginary Tree still stands, but it is no longer merely a tree; it has fully revealed the form of a platinum halo, imprinting its own rules on the level of rules, like a great sun enveloping the world.

It silently heralded the arrival of a new era.

Exhausted, Wang Bai knelt on one knee, his clothes soaked with sweat, but a smile of immense relief and satisfaction appeared on his face.

He did it. At least here, in this world, the fate of magical girls has been rewritten.

Homura Akemi was the first to rush forward and support him, tears streaming down her face again, but this time, they were tears of pure joy and relief.

At this moment, each girl felt her own body; the Soul Gem had disappeared, replaced by a living flesh.

As for the Soul Gem, it transformed into a pattern. As long as one desires it, one can transform back into a magical girl. However, it seems that each transformation has a time limit, approximately three minutes.

Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, Sayaka Miki, Madoka Kaname—everyone gathered around, feeling the changes within themselves, experiencing an unprecedented sense of freedom and ease. Looking at Wang Bai, their eyes were filled with endless gratitude and a joy akin to being reborn.

The city begins to recover, and under the influence of the remaining power of the Imaginary Tree, the wounds of reality are slowly healed.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on this land that had been reborn.

A few days later, on a quiet morning, Wang Bai bid farewell to everyone.

There was no grand ceremony; it was just a few magical girls who had met at the beginning who came to say goodbye.

Wang Bai looked at his achievements with delight.

Sayaka has moved on from her relationship and seems to be getting closer to Kyoko. The two of them are discussing continuing to travel the world and becoming partners of justice.

Homura Akemi was a little confused at the moment, but mostly she was happy. She had finally saved the magical girl Madoka Kaname who had helped her.

Now, Madoka Kaname is able to continue growing up as an ordinary girl.

Madoka Kaname, on the other hand, was still savoring the story she had heard from the crowd with a look of surprise. She felt a sense of unreality as she watched the savior who had almost saved all magical girls leave so easily.

Mami Tomoe, your head is still intact.

And those former magical girls who transformed from witches into torches, after the cause and effect were redefined, they regained their physical bodies and no longer burned as torches.

In short, Wang Bai was very satisfied with the outcome at this moment.

Mami Tomoe presented a homemade magical pastry that could slowly restore energy.

Sakura Kyoko pouted and tossed him a bag of apples: "Eat these on the way."

Sayaka Miki cried like a child, hugging him tightly: "Thank you, teacher! I will definitely become stronger and protect everyone!"

Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname stuffed a group photo of everyone together into his bag, their eyes glistening with tears.

'

Teacher Wang Bai, you must come back and visit us again!

There was no grand ceremony, only sincere blessings and tears of reluctance to part.

Wang Bai accepted them one by one, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

Actually, with the help of the Imaginary Tree, we can connect with the demi-human world and meet whenever we want.

However, I really can't bring myself to say it about this situation.

Well, when the time comes, these girls will naturally understand once they discover they can go to another world.

Wang Bai waved his hand and walked into the black rift through the girls' tearful eyes.
