As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"Thank you for the treat, it was delicious."

Seeing Abigail's satisfied expression, Xiaoyuan immediately stood up and cleared away the cutlery in front of Abigail.

"Xiaoyuan's cooking skills have improved considerably."

Just then, the voice of Abigail's second personality appeared again in her mind.

"Hey, why are you out now? Aren't you afraid Xiaoyuan will find out?"

"Don't worry, I know Madoka better than you do. Although Madoka is a higher-dimensional being, she can't see everything. At least, she can't see into thoughts. Moreover, in order to live normally in this world, Madoka has simply shielded herself from the power of the Law of Cycles. So what Madoka can see now is no different from what ordinary three-dimensional beings can see."

"Oh."

Abigail seemed to understand, but all she needed to know was that Xiaoyuan was currently unaware that she had a second personality within her.

"Speaking of which, you didn't just suddenly appear out of nowhere just to marvel at Xiaoyuan's improved cooking skills, did you?"

"Of course not. I need you to go to the dream world later. I want to observe some things."

"Observe what?"

"It's hard to say right now, so don't worry about it for now. I'll let you know when there's a result, and you can just do as I say."

"Okay. Alright then."

After Abigail answered, she discovered that her second personality seemed to have gone underwater again.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm going to go for a walk outside!"

After saying that, Abigail stood up and walked towards the door.

"Okay, go early and come back early!"

Xiao Yuan casually replied.

Abigail then left home.

Walking down the street, the city feels very peaceful, but beneath this peace lies a kind of distortion.

"what is this?"

At this moment, Abigail could see that everyone in the city seemed to be shrouded in black mist, which would be drawn towards the sun in the sky as soon as it emerged.

Abigail felt a sense of familiarity with this mist; it was similar to the feeling emanating from Nightmare, and it seemed to be the same feeling emanating from Warcraft.

"Hey, am I there?"

"what's up?"

The voice of the second personality echoed in Abigail's mind.

"So what are those things?"

"That's the negative energy that everyone emits. Monsters are born from this. The reason why there are no monsters in this city is not only because of Madoka's protection, but also because Homura concentrates all this negative energy in the dream world. They have put in a lot of effort to live a normal life."

"Oh, then why can I see these things now when I couldn't see them before?"

"Because I was sealed away before. This is just the simplest form of energy vision. Many people have this ability."

"is it?"

Although according to the second personality, such an ability seems quite common, Abigail herself doesn't have this concept. It's like an ordinary person suddenly gaining superhuman strength. Perhaps it seems ordinary to these magical girls, but for ordinary people, it's a huge surprise.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's get to the dream world quickly."

"Well, I see."

After saying that, Abigail found a side alley, went inside, and after making sure no one was around, she took out her Soul Gem and opened a door.

Upon entering the dream space, Abigail saw that the entire space was filled with the same dark mist as before. Moreover, this mist was continuously being expelled from the blood-red moon in the sky.

Furthermore, Abigail saw several patches of fog gathering throughout the city, which would obviously turn into nightmares when they accumulated to a certain extent.

"Actually, this method is a pretty good choice to deal with negative human emotions. However, it is only suitable for use in one city. It would be difficult to expand it to the whole world because there are too many variables."

"why?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to create such a huge barrier to envelop the entire planet? Although Xiaoyan can do it very easily."

"Then why are you bringing this up?"

Abigail muttered to herself, somewhat speechless.

"However, even if all the negative energy from everyone on Earth is absorbed into this barrier, Xiaoyan has no way to control the direction of this negative energy. If some negative energy is allowed to accumulate in some remote corners for too long, it could cause terrible changes."

"A terrible change? What change?"

"This is just my guess, but do you know the biggest difference between Nightmare and Warcraft?"

Abigail shook her head.

"Nightmare will turn into a demon god!"

Chapter 262 Experiment

"A demon god! What is that?"

Abisel asked with some confusion.

"Demon God is just what I call it. The quality of negative energy in a demon beast is much higher than that of a nightmare. A nightmare is just a simple accumulation of energy, but such accumulation has its limits."

Just like stars in the universe, things reach their extremes and then reverse. Although stars can become very large, when their mass reaches a certain level, the great forces of nature will compress them, and this process is irreversible. Ultimately, these stars will transform into the most terrifying celestial bodies in the universe—black holes.

Similarly, if the negative energy surrounding a nightmare's body is allowed to accumulate indefinitely, it will eventually compress itself and transform into an extremely terrifying monster. Its power would easily break through this barrier and instantly destroy the entire planet.

"Is it that great?"

Abigail said with some surprise.

"What do you think?"

"Okay. So what should I do now?"

Abigail then asked.

"See that place with the biggest whirlpool over there? Go there."

Guided by her second personality, Abigail finds the largest vortex, which, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will become a new nightmare tonight.

Abigail then arrived at the location of this largest vortex.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it feels like all these negative emotions are pointing to one kind of emotion."

"Your feeling is not wrong. This cluster of negative emotions is jealousy in the real world. As for the other clusters you see, some are anger, some are sadness, and some are even resentment. In short, people's emotions are all kinds of things, and what can be gathered together are relatively common emotions."

Hearing her second personality say this, Abigail couldn't help but feel curious. If there were such relatively common emotions, then there must be those that were not so easy to appear. So she asked her second personality about this.

"Don't worry about these emotions that are not easy to come by. It takes a long time for these emotions to accumulate, and their quality is not much different from those common emotions."

"Oh, so what are you trying to do here?"

Abigail asked with some curiosity.

"I'm just here to verify a hypothesis. Take out your Soul Gem."

Abigail took out her Soul Gem and waited for the second personality's next instructions.

What should I do next?

"You don't need to do anything now, just wait."

Unsure of what her second personality was up to, Abigail watched the changes in the Soul Gem with a mixture of curiosity and disbelief.

After a while, the second personality suddenly spoke:

"You can take the Soul Gem back now."

"Is that all?"

Abigail was puzzled; she hadn't seen any changes in the Soul Stone before.

"It's already done. You don't need to know the specifics of what was done yet. You'll find out when the time is right."

The second personality didn't tell Abigail what it had done, leaving Abigail completely baffled.

However, while others might have simply let it go, Abigail is no ordinary person. Once her curiosity is piqued, she's unlikely to give up so easily. Moreover, her second personality, Abigailism, is still wary. Before, her actions were relatively normal, so Abigail didn't have many concerns. But now, if I clarify things, she won't feel at ease.

"Hey, I'm the person involved, what can't you tell me?"

"Knowing this now won't do you any good; it's best if you don't know."

"No, I feel uneasy all over because I don't know about this. When I feel uneasy, I can't perform well. Once I can't perform well, Xiaoyuan and the others will notice my abnormality. They'll find out about it as soon as they investigate. Xiaoyan will definitely manipulate my memories. You can probably imagine what the consequences will be then."

"I think I understand now what Xiaoyuan and the others felt when they said those things to me before."

The second personality remarked with emotion, then asked again:

"Do you really want to know what I did? You must remember that once you find out, you must not reveal any clues."

"Don't worry, no problem. Don't you know who I, Abigail, am?"

Abigail patted her chest in assurance.

"I know what kind of person I am, which is why I didn't want to tell you this. But I figured that since it's such an important matter, you and I are probably not going to mess things up, so I'll tell you."

At this point, the second personality paused slightly, seemingly organizing its thoughts.

“I just tried it out. Although I knew that this world had techniques to convert emotions into energy, I didn’t know how it worked before, so I tried it out using the Soul Gem, which can perform this conversion on its own.”

"What's the result?"

Abigail asked curiously.

"The result is not bad. It is indeed possible to use the Soul Gem to transform these negative emotions to a certain extent. However, using the Soul Gem for transformation will also produce filth in the Soul Gem. This is probably the price that magical girls pay for the power they use. The Soul Gem usually uses the magical girl's own emotions as energy."

"Oh, so you did something like that over there. Now, have you figured out the techniques for this transformation?"

Abigail asked with some confusion.

"I've made some progress, but there are still many things I don't understand. For example, what exactly is filth? Why can the lament crystals left behind after the monsters are destroyed absorb this filth? And what should I do with these lament crystals that have absorbed the filth? What changes will they undergo? I don't know any of these things for now. If we don't solve the problem of filth, blindly using emotional energy might lead to very serious consequences."

Abigail nodded, seemingly understanding, but at least she now grasped one point: negative energy dissipating in the outside world could be utilized using the Soul Gem. Abigail couldn't help but have the idea of ​​trying it herself.

"But to be honest, even if I knew all this, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact on me."

Do you really think there won't be any impact?
