The prerequisite for taking risks is to have a way out.

If there is no way out, then the influence of Paper Line on "Madoka Magica" will only be the first few reincarnations, and the final round, which may or may not exist.

In that case, the Principle of the Circle will be doomed to not appear because of my appearance.

Although The Logic of Circles didn't have a very good ending, after Rebellion, the results for the Five Colors were pretty good anyway, so Paper Line didn't want the ending to get worse because of its own influence.

Therefore, although the time spent searching for power in the other world is not much, Zhixing does not dare to venture into the dangerous world.

"The reason I'm willing to do this again after the first round of fratricide isn't just based on my own judgment. It's based on the experimental data from Kamizuru Izuku's Super High School Level Hope Transformation Method, combined with my own findings, that I decided to personally participate in this game."

"What's the situation with Kyubey? Did he see the document as well? Did that thing really exist before? Or was it, like the reason for impossible talent, led here by someone else? For that man's purpose."

The voice of [Despair] gently floated to Zhixing's ears, causing Zhixing to frown again. The memories of their first meeting with Kamukura Deru once again emerged in his mind.

Kamizuru Izuru's motive for holding the game for [Despair] was different from mine, so [Despair] was unaware of it. But even without knowing it, he still conducted the experiment according to Kamizuru Izuru's wishes.

Before that, Kamijou Izuru should have realized the reason for the appearance of the third wish from the infighting among the student council because his talent was discovered.

So why didn't you tell Despair directly? Was it because you didn't trust him?

No, at that time, Kamizuru Izuru was imprisoned with nothing, so if that information really existed, theoretically it should have been discovered by [Analyst] Tsubasa while digging into the academy's secrets, so he found [Hope] and revealed his understanding of the third wish.

Judging from the dozen or so translated versions that Kamukura Izuru prepared for his reincarnation, it is obvious that the encryption level should not be too high, otherwise his reincarnated self might not be able to find it.

If those three wishes were false...

Zhi Xing suddenly paused and suddenly realized a problem that he had overlooked.

Since Kamijou Izuru prepared the documents to be given to his reincarnated self to read, why did he keep them when he had already found Hinata Hajime?

Obviously, even [Despair] didn't know about this, which meant that Kamukura Izuru hadn't told anyone else about his plan.

Moreover, it has been about a year since Hyuga Sou became Kamizuru Deryu. The reason why he not only kept it in his own laboratory, but also saved the translated version together...

"It's quite surprising, isn't it time travel?")

Zhixing's mind suddenly became clear, and his thoughts became active in the silence.

The original Kamizuru Izuru was waiting for a time traveler to come back.

After all, for Kamijou Izuru who possesses many talents, if a time machine appears in this world, it is likely to be his work.

Even if it wasn't him, given Hope's talent, if someone else inherited the research and built a time machine, they would probably give Hope priority.

Relying on a time machine to obtain technology out of thin air is obviously the best way to extract interesting things from the development of a boring world.

And that time... was exactly when [Despair] started the live broadcast of Hope's Peak Academy.

Make an appointment at a time known to everyone, and then use a hidden location known only to yourself to confirm the identity of the visitor, and make an appointment for time travel and communication in the future?

If this is true, then the three wishes in multiple translated versions are probably just an explanation to the time traveler.

Explain your motivation for doing so.

Did he change his story just because I arrived unexpectedly? And while he was guiding me here, he also abandoned the lab.

But the privilege does exist, and Monokuma also acknowledged this privilege, so what exactly is it... Hmm!!

Zhi Xing suddenly came to his senses and looked at Despair in front of him. At this time, Despair's hands had quietly touched Zhi Xing's hands, and with a smile on his face, he broke the previous silence and said:

"As long as we actually come into contact, you won't be able to escape!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhixing's forehead.

After all, apart from the close contact with Goro Akechi and the use of his familiar to cause trouble in the Velvet Room where the false god was, this could be said to be the first time that Kazuyoshi faced a villain boss at such a close distance.

And he is a villain who can really kill people at any time.

Zhi Xing, who was originally forced into the classroom by [despair], suddenly began to feel a surge of pressure in his heart.

The consequences of his own death quickly passed through his mind over and over again.

Then, when [Despair] was admiring Zhixing's terrified expression, Zhixing's expression suddenly became expressionless.

At the same time, a voice came from Despair's shoulder:

"Is this your wish to be the ultimate beneficiary of this fratricide?"

"Can I risk my soul for your wish?"

"If that is truly your deepest desire, I can help you."

The white tail passed by the corner of [Despair]'s eyes and successfully attracted [Despair]'s attention.

"Is this... the real Kyubey?"

While [Despair] was stunned, Zhixing gently broke free from his hands, which were not being held tightly to begin with, and looked at the freshly-made two-dimensional image of Kyubey together with [Despair].

But unlike the doubt of [Despair], Zhixing once again felt speechless about his ability to perform on the spot.

Because of the live broadcast and the deal I had with you, there must have been a lot of people watching the [Fan Writer's] room surveillance and seeing the story of "Madoka Magica" together.

At this time, everyone's impression of Madoka Magica was still at its peak, which indeed satisfied the possibility of creating cognitive existence.

But because I wanted to calmly find a way out and remembered that the original problem was the transaction, in order to calm down as soon as possible, I turned my desperate desire into Kyubey.

Obviously, the one who can save himself the most should be Homura who can stop time, but it is not clear whether the effect of time stopping can be exerted.

Zhi Xing didn't dwell on the same question again. Instead, he turned his head and faced Kyubey, who was standing on Despair's shoulder and looking at him. An idea flashed through his mind:

Fictional character images, the commonality of the same name, and the same transactions.

Can I use Kyubey in front of me as a guide to awaken my personality mask?

"Do you really want to choose it?"

Chapter 368 The Villain’s Life is Life Too

"Are these two Kyubeys going to kill each other for me?"

The gaze of [Despair] fell on Zhixing again, because during this brief observation, Enoshima Junko, who had the talent of [Analyst], had already realized that this was a power that only [Bystander] could use to create false existence.

After all, [Despair] has already spread its sphere of influence to the whole world, so even if [Bystander] shows power beyond cognition, it is limited to him alone, and there will not really be a Kyubey and the magical girls behind him.

Rather than analyzing this false thing that does not conform to biological structure, what [Despair] needs most is to be able to obtain a way to control energy with will from the [Bystander].

And the thing that is most needed is just a gift of the transaction, so the content of the transaction is not important.

But [Despair] obviously didn't think so. Rather, the best way to analyze was to squeeze the maximum ability of [Onlooker].

"Hmm? Ah, did you say that again?"

After regaining his composure, Zhixing also realized one thing. No matter whether the motive provided by Kamijou Izuru was false or not, the condition Kamijou Izuru offered at that time was just to let him come over.

Although there was a possibility that the place would be deserted if he went back, Zhixing stayed because he wanted to verify his own abilities through these [Super High School Level] talents.

Just like when you first start playing a new game, when you don't have to worry about going to school or work, and you have plenty of time to invest, and you can even get tangible rewards by completing the game, Zhixing couldn't control his desire and chose to stay.

so....

Zhi Xing looked calmly at Despair, who had been terrified just a second ago. He stared directly into his eyes, not thinking about his own safety or his escape route, and said calmly:

"What's the deal you want?"

As their eyes met, the blush on Despair's face gradually faded. Looking at Kyubey who had not left his shoulder, he sighed:

"How boring! You're actually trying to escape this way."

[Despair] He reached out his hand and touched Kyubey's shoulder, who had not left his position, with a look of disgust on his face.

If the paper line just now was still in despair because of its own safety, then whether it was a sudden surge of courage to suppress the despair, or a desperate escape, for the [despair] who wanted to see more, it would inevitably continue to force it.

However, this situation, which seemed to have reached a critical value and then been directly cleared, and did not seem to be stimulated again in a short period of time, made [Despair] lose interest.

"Since you have a so-called script, then there must be a script for me to win."

"To put it simply, in any case, as long as you tell me the key clues, then I will personally conceal the fact that I killed everyone."

"In the long run, if they can hold on, it will only be a draw. As long as you are willing to share, then in this limited space, a flaw will appear sooner or later."

"But this kind of thing is not the reason why I want to find you."

[Despair] raised a finger and said to the paper as if he had come up with a good idea:

"What I need is a change that can break the lifeless future, an incomparable despair!"

"So, I will intervene in this school refereeing and force myself into despair. As the only variable I haven't fully analyzed yet, I need you to help me find something to break that despair when I'm at my wit's end."

"Whether it's strength or intelligence, it must be accomplished while adhering to the school's rules of judgment."

"As a deal, I can let those you want to save live, as long as you can break the hopeless ending."

"As a 'bystander', your perspective is limited to this. If you're not desperate, it would be too easy to predict the details of your carefully considered transaction."

"Oh, by the way, the transaction needs to be confirmed by both parties. Do you accept these conditions?"

[Despair] unilaterally announced the transaction and the conditions required, and then moved his hand.

The next moment, Kyubey, who was being caressed on the shoulder, was crushed by the delicate little hands.

The scattered white substance and some blood soon turned into a pool of dirty water after staining both sides, sliding down and disappearing.

Zhi Xing felt that his thoughts were flowing smoothly. He didn't care about Kyubey's loss at all, and immediately said:

"Unfortunately, the scenarios I have are all based on these students winning, so they don't have the information you need."

"How about trying a different approach, like saving you as well?"

Despair shook his head and said:

"Are you trying to change this by using the fact that I'm not on the list of survivors?"

"That's not necessary. Rather, if there really comes a time when I despair, it will be exactly what I need! I also want to see what kind of impossibility can bring me to the side of the dead."

"So, I will not agree to such a request."

Zhi Xing looked at Despair, who was shaking his hands, and knew that given his situation, the life-or-death dilemmas that ordinary people often faced were completely insignificant to Despair. So, following this situation, he asked:

"What if victory comes at the cost of physical death?"

"A power that still works after death!"

Joy appeared in [Despair]'s expression, and the blush that had faded appeared on her face again.

"I can sense that you're not lying about this, but... if it means your own death, how long will it take to complete?"

"Probably, one day per person."

Zhi Xing said calmly, after all, the way to understand the world and influence reality is to change your heart.

Zhixing's idea is to let [Despair] come directly to the hall, face the psychological defense of others, and make those who have not fallen into despair in the end choose to embrace despair sincerely.

After all, it is [Despair], so it is not impossible that it can awaken the personality mask. This can be used to test how powerful these personality masks that do not belong to the Velvet Room are.

While Amamiya Ren's Phantom Thieves need the combined strength of several people to capture a hall, Akechi Goro can defeat the master of the hall on his own, forcing him to reveal information or even become out of control and disabled.

Although there are situations where the [Disciplinary Officer] can destroy real buildings, it is only truly useful when facing the real damage caused by the aggregation of desires.

This also relates to the question of whether Kazuhiro can complete his change of heart alone if he possesses a personality mask in other worlds, or whether he needs to develop other members of the Phantom Thieves to complete his change of heart.

"Hey~ How do I do that?"

[Despair] showed an innocent look and looked up at the paper line.

Zhi Xing did not dodge anymore, and followed the other person's eyes and said:

"What you want is nothing more than that impossible talent, which is what you call talent fusion. But it wouldn't take you that long just to fuse talents. After all, it was done that same day."

"So... you intend to breed true [Super High School Level Despair] from them, not the [Despair] you call yourself now."

"Puff puff puff~ I just want to use them to lure the Future Agency outside to rescue us. After all, if they sit there and watch us fight among ourselves, that's not what I want to see."

"Besides, I'd rather see the choices they make in desperation. It would be a waste to just kill them."

[Despair] turned away from the paper and used exaggerated body language to describe his inner thoughts.

However, Zhihang still insisted on his own opinion and added:

"Admiration is the feeling farthest from understanding."

"As an [Analyst], I'm obsessed with despair because I want to find unexpected variables. Rather than being [Super High School Level Despair], I'm more of a [Despair Lover]."

"Could it be that, like [Girlfriend], you have already mastered the [Analyst] talent perfectly, so you can be considered to have both talents?"

Zhixing looked at the [Despair] in front of him. He knew very well that this person wanted to fall into despair himself, but at the moment of death, he was no longer happy because of the variables brought about by [Despair] under the control of the [Analyst]'s talent.

In the current world, even if we ignore the situation in the three wishes where the omnipotent authority is divided among everyone, the only person who can have multiple talents, besides Kamizuru Izuru, is Enoshima Junko, who possesses both [Girl] and [Analyst].
