Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

"We ordinary people use our own power to determine right and wrong."

"And those in higher positions... return to the position of superiors."

As if to confirm Touka Satomi's words, the Circular Principle that the many magical girls communicated during the ritual, the existence that allowed them to feel warmth and emotion, suddenly broke off from their connection.

As an apostle of the Law of Cycles, Nagisa Hyakue felt this even more deeply.

The channels through which the Law of Cycles communicates with this world have been completely blocked, a blockade even more severe than when Nagisa Hyakue first arrived in this timeline.

"How could this be...?"

Hyakue Nagisa stared intently at Satomi Touka, her face extremely grim.

"What have you done?!"

The 409th image is from the Dimensional Witch forum.

Outside the world line.

After receiving responses from its own apostles and numerous magical girls within the world, the Law of Cycles now has an anchor point through which it can intervene internally.

With a wave of her hand, a magnificent, seven-colored bridge of light was erected, leading directly from beneath her feet into the interior of the world.

However, just as the Law of Circles was about to step onto the Rainbow Bridge, it stopped.

She looked up and gazed at the end of the bridge.

Suddenly, a figure appeared standing there.

She was a woman of profound elegance, draped in a flowing, magnificent robe, with the shimmering wings of butterflies unfurled behind her.

Her hair was as black as silk, adorned with butterfly hair ornaments at the ends.

She held a brass pipe in her hand, resting it horizontally on her arm, and was smiling as she gazed at the principle of the circle.

The woman showed no fear as she met the god's golden eyes.

She raised her pipe, took a gentle puff, exhaled a hazy cloud of smoke, and then spoke:

"Gods born from the cycle of cause and effect, please stop here for now."

The faint sound traveled across the vast space to reach the ears of the Law of Circles.

Where she stood, the rainbow's brilliant light seemed to freeze. Time and space appeared to be under her control, and the path to the inner world was firmly blocked.

"you are?"

The cold voice of the Law of Cycles rang out.

"I am...."

The elegantly dressed woman brushed a strand of hair from her temple and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, my nickname actually has something in common with yours..."

“My name is Yuuko Ichihara, you can call me ‘Dimensional Witch’.”

"I managed to survive on your turf, so I owe you a debt of gratitude. However, I owe you an even greater favor..."

"So, could you please wait here for a moment?"

The Law of Circles did not provide an answer; she answered it with her actions.

She took a step forward and landed on the rainbow bridge, but then stepped back the next moment.

The destination has been changed, while the distance along the way has been extended indefinitely.

The Principle of Circles softly uttered the name the other party had given:

"A dimensional witch..."

..............

This time, Hyakue Nagisa was truly panicked. Although she could still sense the existence of the Law of Cycles, their deity seemed to have suddenly left at that moment.

The anchor point was forcibly severed, and the divine power that had been channeled into the world became increasingly diluted until it disappeared completely.

"rumor..."

The voice came from the other side; this time it was Hiiragi Nemu who spoke.

"Seven Seas and Eight Thousand Generations, I know you..."

Hiiragi Nemu focused her gaze on a blue-haired girl among Tamaki Iroha's group.

"I am truly flattered that you are so interested in rumors."

Nanami Yachiyo conducted in-depth research on the rumors in Kamihama City and compiled the "Kamihama Rumor Archives".

Hearing Hiiragi Nemu say this, Nanami Yachiyo also raised her head.

"Are you implying that the rumors are related to you?"

Hiiragi Nemu nodded:

“That’s right, all the rumors were created by me… well, not all of them. There’s one rumor that’s special, that it was created by that being.”

"Since you've been collecting information on rumors, you should know some of the longest-circulating and most widespread rumors in Kamihama City."

The most prominent rumor was, of course, that "magical girls who go to Kamihama City will be saved."

The influence of this rumor has even extended beyond the city of Kamihama, spreading to the outside world.

"Besides that, the most widespread rumor..."

Seven Seas and Eight Thousand Generations bowed their heads in deep thought:

"Is it that one... 'There's a magical shop in Kamihama City that can grant any wish'...?"

"If it's about 'wishes,' this rumor seems to have something to do with Kyubey."

"No, other rumors develop from nothing, from formless to fixed facts. But this rumor is merely a 'mold,' its interior contains real, existing things..."

Hiiragi Nemu raised an eyebrow, wanting to continue speaking, but was stopped by Satomi Touka.

"Yinmeng, you talk too much nonsense..."

Satomi Touka looked down at the crowd:

"Don't worry, things have come to this point, I won't hurt you. But now it's up to you to make your own choices."

"To fight or to retreat...?"

"What do you mean?" Huan Caiyu asked.

"A big guy is about to arrive. If you don't want to stay in this city, please leave."

"That's a very troublesome guy, and a difficult target for us magical girls to overcome."

"Wait, you mean..."

By this time, Hyakue Nagisa had finally calmed down, and upon hearing Satomi Touka's words, she couldn't help but speak up:

"Witch's Night?"

"That's right..."

Satomi Touka nodded:

"According to him, Moye is the Cosmic Witch, the strongest witch besides the Salvation Witch. However, this is only the surface. Moye can be regarded as one of the key nodes in this cycle of cause and effect, and also an enemy that must be overcome."

"If you don't want to help, then don't stay and hold us back."

"Wait..."

Hyakue Nagisa interrupted Satomi Touka:

"Defeating Witch Night shouldn't be your ultimate goal, right? If your objective is to save the magical girls, there's one more crucial step..."

"You're right..."

Satomi Touka nodded, then looked at Tamaki Iroha with a complicated expression.

"Sister Caiyu, haven't you been searching for You all this time?"

"You're right, the sorrow hasn't died; it's always been with us, becoming an indispensable part of us."

"She is Eve, and we regard her as the progenitor of the magical girl group who ushered in a new era."

"She represents the happiness of all of us magical girls."

"This is the truth behind the most widespread rumor: that all magical girls can be saved..."

As she spoke, Satomi Touka turned on some kind of switch.

Within the overlapping areas of this witch's barrier, an even more terrifying force tore open.

Instantly, the many witches nurtured by Magius's Wings were torn apart and fell to the ground amidst dark lamentations.

These lamentations all fell into the mouth of a gigantic creature.

It was a witch who resembled a jellyfish, with crystalline flesh covering her body and four wings growing from her back.

No, she can't be called a witch.

Although the magic was tainted, it was very stable, more like the witch incarnations and half-witch states displayed by Satomi Touka and Hiiragi Nemu.

She was a magical girl who was almost like a witch.

So much so that the witch's avatar completely enveloped her true form.

"The current sorrow is just an egg, but when the Witch's Night is devoured by her, she will bloom into a bud. From then on, magical girls around the world will no longer have to worry about becoming witches. On the eve of becoming a witch, we will purify the magic."

...........

As the three little ones reached the final step in realizing their wishes, Kazama also entered a strange state of mind.

He could sense a hazy cause and effect enveloping his extraordinary abilities.

Once this cycle of cause and effect is broken, he will be able to obtain the final result.

The aura of the Law of Cycles is right beside you; in a sense, Madoka Kaname is the ultimate product of the causal system that exists in this world.
