Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 97 The Witch and QB

With the hard work of Hundred-Faced Ango, who had obtained a Reality Barrier, the Demi-human organization gradually got on the right track.

However, even after the organization is established, it will still take some time to obtain the special item report that Wang Bai wants.

Based on the information currently available, there are not many special items in the world, and it is possible that some special items have not yet been discovered.

Afterwards, Wang Bai also discussed how to connect the worlds of Vagabond, Fate, and other similar works with the world of demi-humans.

This plan has increased the workload of all the heroic spirits by a great deal, and has also attracted a lot of controversy.

However, faced with Wang Bai's ability to forcefully traverse the world and the tragic state of the world of Wanderer, everyone still agreed to support Wang Bai's actions.

After everyone began their study, Wang Bai sensed the coordinates on the black and white flower and moved towards the next world.

This time, after Wang Bai's body entered the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, he found that he no longer felt the same sense of constraint as when he entered the world of Vagabond.

He was standing at the entrance of a middle school, and the elementary school students coming and going looked at Wang Bai, who was standing there blankly, and were curious about his identity.

Several large characters are written on the plaque at the school gate.

Mitakihara Junior High School.

Wang Bai was taken aback; such a famous middle school naturally left a deep impression.

Is this really the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

Starting with Madoka Magica, magical girls embarked on a high-risk career path.

It's no longer an idol drama about love and peace, but a healing drama where miracles come at a price.

No wonder I could feel such strong negative emotions from that petal.

No wonder the Imaginary Tree, with its core concept of "Divine Prayer - Tragedy Rewriting," instinctively yearns for this world.

"Hello, what are you doing here? Are you a student's parent?"

It seemed that Wang Bai had been standing still for a while, which aroused the vigilance of the security guards.

Wang Bai shook his head and casually said that he had come to see his younger sister.

"Sister? What's your sister's name?"

"Oh, her name is Madoka Kaname."

With so many students in the school, it's impossible for a security guard to know the identity of any particular student.

Seeing that Wang Bai spoke calmly and quickly said the student's name, the student's wariness lessened considerably.

"In that case, do you remember which class that student was in? I can help you ask."

"No need, I guess class is about to start, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll come again later."

"Oh————Oh oh————"

The security guard was a little confused, but he still watched Wang Bai leave.

After creating some distance, Wang Bai immediately used magic to create a familiar that flew towards the school.

Soon, they discovered the protagonist, Madoka Kaname, from one of the classes.

Madoka Kaname is almost identical to the image in her memory.

She had short pink hair and wore warm clothes. Her face showed a hint of timidity, but you could tell that she was a child who made people feel warm.

That familiar figure with long, straight black hair has not yet appeared in the class.

They also didn't see the white, cat-like creature appear around them.

Wang Bai realized that Homura Akemi had not yet arrived in this timeline.

That would prove that the magical girls we remember are still alive.

But I guess some people have already encountered QB, the source of all evil, and signed a contract to become magical girls.

This is a difficult situation.

After becoming magical girls, their true souls have become the gem, and their real bodies are more like NPCs in a motion-sensing game.

Regarding this matter, perhaps we can start by studying the Third Law, since transforming the ethereal soul into a substance like a gemstone seems to have something in common with the Third Law.

Perhaps it's possible to reverse the gem's effect and allow these magical girls who signed the contract to return to their normal human identities.

Given QB's advanced cosmic civilization, it exploited the emotions of young girls for the sake of so-called energy, deliberately distorting their desires and leading to one tragedy after another.

They should be completely captivated by Madoka Kaname by now.

After all, the energy generated by Madoka Kaname's karma and emotions after she was completely transformed into a witch is unparalleled.

However, what the incubator civilization like QB didn't expect was that Madoka Kaname would eventually create a miracle.

The timing of the Imaginary Tree sending Wang Bai to this point in time was just right.

Wang Bai used magic to help himself construct a simple identity in this society, and used this identity to enter Mitakihara Middle School as a teacher to teach students.

Of course, on the surface it's teaching, but in reality it's just for watching Madoka Kaname.

By the time Wang Bai finished preparing the materials, it was already midnight.

At his level, he no longer needs sleep.

So he found a high vantage point and looked around for anything unusual, hoping to get a glimpse of what the so-called witch was like.

Soon, Wang Bai was able to sense a distinct distortion in space, like a fold in the space itself.

Is that the witch's barrier?

Or perhaps it's the entrance to the witch's barrier?

As they approached the spatial fold locked by Wang Bai, a sense of despair continuously seeped out from within, instinctively drawing the Imagination Tree in.

Wang Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the aura emanating from him with the power of his artistic conception, and concealing it with runes.

Then he stepped into the witch's barrier.

As you step inside, the surrounding scenery constantly distorts.

The surrounding scenery spun around him, and a bizarre and fantastical paper-cut fairy tale world appeared before Wang Bai's eyes, but it was filled with a suffocating sadness and madness.

Giant scissors, twisted balls of thread, and broken rag doll remains formed the main body of this barrier, with colorful scraps of paper floating in the air and a rusty smell emanating from it.

"Waaah!"

The strangely shaped familiar, which looked like it was pieced together from scraps of cloth and scissors, seemed to have discovered something unusual and kept moving back and forth, searching for something.

Wang Bai understood immediately. As expected of the creator of the entire barrier.

Even though he had concealed himself to this extent, was he still discovered by the other party?

Unfortunately, the witches of this world seem to have noticed something amiss and entered the barrier, but they still can't find Wang Bai directly.

Wang Bai strolled forward and looked at the master of the entire barrier.

At the center of the barrier, a huge figure appeared, seemingly made up of tattered metal and countless tangled broken threads.

It resembles a torn rag doll, holding exaggerated scissors, and emitting a heartbreaking cry.

So that's how it is. Is this what a witch is?

Wang Bai tried to use the third method to probe the other party. It was indeed similar to a soul transforming into matter, but this matter only had a thin outer shell, with only some residue remaining inside.

A vague realization dawned on me: had the true selves of those magical girls been transformed into the energy source the incubators spoke of after they were converted?

If someone has just become a witch, Wang Bai can still save them, just like a person who has just died might still be able to come back to life through means such as a heartbeat.

However, those who have been witches for a long time are like cremated corpses; there's nothing that can be done about it.

The witch suddenly looked down. Wang Bai's use of magic to probe had allowed her to immediately sense the source and discover Wang Bai's location.

The witch in front of me is not very strong; she is probably just a magical girl who has recently formed a contract with me or whose desire is not very strong.

But its very nature is enough to send chills down one's spine.

"A meaningless existence only brings pain and spreads despair." Wang Bai sighed and no longer hesitated.

Runes symbolizing flames were drawn in mid-air, and a thick beam of light the size of a fist pierced directly through the witch's presence.

The severely injured witch let out a piercing scream, about to unleash the culprit that had caused the damage.

Several more beams of magical energy appeared before them.

Without any suspense, several holes were pierced through the witch's body, and she was destroyed along with her core.

As the witch's enormous body gradually ceased struggling under the weight of the light, her form began to dissipate, like ashes scattered by the wind. The absurd scenes that formed the barrier also vanished like bubbles.

In the end, only some clear seeds of lamentation remained, though they were mostly tainted with black filth.

Wang Bai stepped forward and picked up the Seed of Sorrow.

There was only a cool sensation on my fingertips.

Although he couldn't save the unknown girl, Wang Bai could still do something based on the last traces she left behind.

The Imaginary Tree appeared according to Wang Bai's will, presenting its form throughout the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

The enormous, sacred, slowly swirling platinum halo overlapped with the bright moon in the sky, making the entire sky appear even brighter.

However, this change is unknown to the general public; only a select group of people can observe this amazing astronomical spectacle.

No one understood what this astronomical anomaly meant.

The despair within the Seed of Lamentation in Wang Bai's hand was continuously absorbed into the sky by the Tree of Imagination.

The seeds of sorrow grew clearer and clearer, yet they seemed to crumble into fragments as if they had lost their support.

Wang Bai used magic to condense these fragments together, using them as a foundation for construction.

The soul information remaining on the fragments was manifested by the Third Law, becoming the foundation and fuel for the formation of the body.

An ordinary girl reappears in the world in her pre-witch form.

The other person opened their eyes, seemingly confused as to why they were in this place.

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes involuntarily, as if she had experienced some kind of terrifying nightmare.

She instinctively turned and walked towards her family home; at that moment, all she wanted was to return to her own home.

Where she left, Wang Bai stood quietly in place.

When Wang Bai tried to reverse his tragedy using the power of the Imaginary Tree, he was stopped by some force in this world.

At the same time, this force is also preventing the power of the Imaginary Tree from continuing to trace the source of the tragedy upstream in time.

So the girl wasn't resurrected; rather, she was like someone who used her remaining existence to light a torch, a torch built from the remnants of the past, replacing the ever-consuming self of the past.

When the torch disappears, the other party will completely disappear from the world.

But before she disappeared, she had the chance to say a final goodbye to this world, instead of leaving it filled with regret and despair.

If we want to achieve an even better outcome, we must find the source of that power so that the power of the Imaginary Tree can be traced back to the tragedy and rewritten.

"What amazing technology!"

"I've never seen such amazing and powerful technology before!"

"You're probably not human!"

"From which part of the universe did your super civilization originate?"

A petite white figure appeared silently in the shadows behind him, seemingly having been observing the area for a long time.

Wang Bai slowly turned around, his face showing no surprise, calmly looking at the white beast with its cute appearance and red eyes like cold gems.

"No, I'm just a magician passing by."

Wang Bai himself is a product of the combination of the Third Law and the Demi-human, and his use of the Third Law can be said to be driven by instinct.

So it's not wrong for him to call himself a magician.

A magician?

What is that?

QB felt a little confused. The name sounded similar to "magical girl," but it seemed to be a bit more sophisticated.

After voicing his doubts, Wang Bai did not continue to answer the other party's questions, but instead issued a warning.

"I know that the bodies you have here now aren't very important, but I imagine they must have come at a price to be created."

"Therefore, I hope that you can disappear as far away as possible within my perception range. I don't want to see any other girls fall into tragedy because of you."

Wang Bai's warning puzzled QB. They had never met the other party before, yet the other party seemed to know a lot about them.

Next, we need to use the power of civilization to investigate the origins of this young man and the mysterious power he possesses.

This power could perhaps serve as a backup for emotional power.

At that moment, QB suddenly had a new idea.

"Although there has never been a male who became a magical girl, I can observe that you seem to be a huge variable with immense potential, far exceeding any individual recorded in our civilization."

Wang Bai's face darkened; QB, the leader of this pyramid scheme, had actually set his sights on him.

As an emotionless being, QB completely failed to discern Wang Bai's thoughts and continued, "You can gain the ability to grant any wish through a contract, and becoming a magical girl will grant you even greater power."

Wang Bai's eyes sharpened, and his aura became slightly heavier, with a cold, oppressive feeling emanating from the aura he exuded.

"Incubators, it seems that you, as an advanced civilization, have lost your reverence for the unknown."

Runes flashed, and a massive beam of light pierced through QB's body.

"A high-energy reaction in an instant? How did they manage that?!"

Before he could finish speaking, QB collapsed, lifeless.
