Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

It is precisely because of the close causal entanglement with Homura Akemi that Madoka Kaname has the talent of the strongest magical girl who can change the world. Although Homura Akemi, whose fate is connected with Madoka Kaname, has lost the opportunity to make a wish because she is a magical girl, this entangled fate will still take effect.

In the original plot, the reason why Homura Akemi was able to snatch Madoka Kaname as a part of the human being from the Principle of Circles was not only because her "love" for Madoka Kaname became more intense after each reincarnation until it finally surpassed hope and despair, but also because of the cause and effect connection between herself and the Principle of Circles.

Facing Baihen's question, Akemi Homura said coldly: "Indeed, this world is beautiful, but it is not beautiful enough."

No matter how beautiful the world is now, she will never forget who made her lose the will to live, fall into despair and turn into a witch not long ago. Naturally, she will not have a good face to Bai Hen.

"You're not trying to say that I'm the imperfect part? If that's the case, I'll be very sad." Bai Hen stepped hard on Homura Akemi's head to show his protest.

"Not just you, but also Kyubey. Your existence is an eyesore to this world and to me!" A sharp light flashed in Homura Akemi's eyes, and the clear soul gem on her body was instantly filled with chaotic colors, and a familiar witch's barrier enveloped Bai Hen.

"You've transformed into a half-witch on your own, that's amazing. You actually went to Kyubey to reach a cooperation in such a short time and temporarily blocked the induction of the Principle of the Circle? You're worthy of it, Homura Akemi." Bai Hen jumped off the half-witch Homura Akemi and clapped his ears for her in amazement.

"But why do you think you can hurt and defeat me like this? And the Hatchers, I didn't intend to do anything to you, why do you have to come and seek death?" No familiars appeared in the half-witch Homura Akemi and the half-baked witch's barrier. Instead, the figures of Kyubeys densely filled this not-so-vast space.

"The Principle of Circles is an anomaly, an existence that should not have been born. Homura Akemi is also an anomaly, and if Homura Akemi is not lying, then you are the biggest anomaly. We are very curious about you." The voices of the Kyubeys of the Hatcher clan overlapped and resounded throughout the witch's barrier.

Bai Hen took light steps to dodge the continuous attacks of the half-demonized Homura Akemi. Her attacks did not hurt Bai Hen at all. Instead, he opened up his invincibility among the swarm of Kyubeys: "Curiosity kills the cat."

"We are not cats and we will not die." Under the powerful attack of Homura Akemi, Kyubey's body parts flew everywhere, forming a thick layer of corpses on the ground of this witch's barrier.

"You also took advantage of Homura Akemi, right? Otherwise, she shouldn't be unable to speak now just because she is half-witch." Bai Hen moved nimbly among the Kyubeys. The Kyubeys didn't make any other movements. They all stared at Bai Hen, waiting to be turned into corpses by Homura Akemi.

The Kyubeys did not react at all to Homura Akemi's attack, and more Kyubeys continued to enter the barrier from the real world. They said in unison: "Yes, you are worth studying, and so is Homura Akemi. Maybe we can find a more effective way to convert energy from her."

As the pieces of Kyubey's bodies piled higher and higher, the half-witch Homura Akemi became more and more violent, and her body was transforming into a deeper level of witch.

"Witch, this is the secret we learned from Homura Akemi. The existence of witches can undoubtedly better satisfy our energy needs than monsters. But the existence of the Principle of Rings is also a trouble for us, so we did something to Homura Akemi. We want to know what the consequences will be if a witch appears in this world where the birth of witches is forbidden." Homura Akemi's transformation into a witch continued, but neither Kyubey nor Baihen reacted.

The Kyubeys stared at Baihen intently and said in unison, "If the energy collection device can function normally when the magical girl transforms into a witch, then even if it can only make the witch appear for a moment, it will be enough to transform their despair into huge energy, and then this experiment will be a huge success for us."

"Anyway, witches as by-products are not what we need. If the Principle of the Circle can help get rid of the witches, that would be a great help." Kyubey's words sounded like a scumbag who would kick the girl away after reaching the base.

"Alas~, your thinking mode is really formulaic. I find it a bit boring to solve problems based on your thinking. It was wrong of me to expect you to bring me a little surprise. I apologize to you." Bai Hen suddenly sighed. It is really boring to play with a race like the Incubators that relies purely on rational thinking.

Just throw them a little bait and Bai Hen can already calculate what they will do next. Solving problems with formulas is fast, but it lacks a sense of accomplishment.

"You mean, all our actions are within your calculations?" The Qiubi seemed to sense something was wrong.

"It might be more interesting if you could retain some memories of the previous world, but it probably won't be that interesting, so I won't waste my time on you. Homura Akemi's transformation into a witch is complete, aren't you going to remove the blockade?" Bai Hen glanced at Homura Akemi, who had completely transformed into the Nutcracker Witch. Familiars also appeared in groups in the witch's barrier, and the speed of hunting Kyubey increased.

Before the Qiubi could react, Bai Hen took the initiative to help them remove the shielding of this space from the Theory of Circles. After detecting the existence of the witch here, the Theory of Circles arrived on time.

The Kyubeys, who knew that their plan had failed, did not feel discouraged or angry. Instead, they all looked up at the sky, gazing at the figure of the Nutcracker Witch and Kaname Madoka from a higher dimension: "Is that the Law of the Circle?"

In order to protect Kaname Madoka's happiness, he took away the part of the circle that made Kaname Madoka a human being. The devil Homura who rebelled against the world because his love for Madoka surpassed despair and hope was not born.

Because Kaname Madoka's personality was originally taken out by Baihen, she is now living happily with Miki Sayaka and the others, eating cake and singing songs.

The process of a magical girl transforming into a witch requires hope to turn into despair, and the reason why Baihen did not end the story of this world after reaching a contract with Kaname Madoka, and allowed Kyubey and others to continue to cause trouble, was to wait for this moment of Homura Akemi.

Waiting for the moment when Homura Akemi, because of her love for Madoka Kaname, pulls herself out of despair and turns despair back into hope.

This is something that only Homura Akemi, whose fate is linked to Madoka Kaname and the Principle of Circles, can do. If Homura Akemi loses the opportunity to snatch the human part of Madoka Kaname from the Principle of Circles, she will also lose the opportunity to become a demon.

Homura Akemi, who is unable to accept that she was taken away from this almost ideal world by the Principle of the Circle because of her transformation into a witch, wants to stay in this world. The only thing she can do is to reverse her despair, let the seeds of hope dispel the shadow of despair, and pull herself back into this world.

If she were to be given a name, it would be to cut through the darkness and embrace the light - Dawn Flame, this is her title at this moment.

"Welcome back, how do you feel?" Homura Akemi, who had twisted and turned her own existence in the hope of reshaping herself with her fiery and strong "love" for Madoka Kaname, heard a voice that upset her before she even opened her eyes.

Homura Akemi opened her purple eyes, looked at Bai Hen in front of her and said unhappily, "Tsk."

The moment she woke up, she understood almost all of Bai Hen's goals and knew that her changes were also within his calculations. Although the result was good, she was still very unhappy.

There is no soil for the birth of Demon Flame in this world, but the Dawn Flame, which reverses despair and blooms hope, has power that is no less than that of Demon Flame, and her love for Kaname Madoka has not diminished in the slightest, but compared to the Demon Flame, the Dawn Flame at this time is not as extreme.

"Good girl, little Homura, you did a great job. It's worth my confidence in you." Bai Hen didn't care about Homura Akemi's attitude. He smiled and patted her head.

"The Hatchers are now in your hands. Let them experience the consequences of toying with people's emotions, Ciao~" After snatching the spark born between despair and hope, Bai Hen turned around and left without any reluctance. After all, there was really nothing to be nostalgic about with a group of flat middle school students.

Oh, that’s not right. Mami Tomoe still has some weight. In short, Baihen’s journey with Madoka Magica has come to an end.

Chapter 247 Don’t eat randomly

Taisho period in Japan.

Legend has it that after the sun sets, evil ghosts that eat people will appear, and there are ghost hunters who kill the evil ghosts and protect people.

The Demon Slayer Corps is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to hunt and kill. It has not been officially recognized by the government. Its members are usually called "demon hunters". The purpose of the organization is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, the ancestor of all evil demons.

Mount Raishi is an ordinary hill that can be seen everywhere in Japan. The species on the hill are quite rich. The hunter family Inomata, who rely on this mountain for their livelihood, is a well-known wealthy family in the vicinity. The male owner, Inomata Shigejiro, relies on his big and strong body to do many evil things to bully the villagers.

However, not long ago, what was supposed to be an ordinary daily activity of hunting and collecting wild mushrooms in the mountains caused Shigejiro Inomata and his newly-adult son to disappear in this Laixi Mountain. No one ever saw them alive, and no one ever found their bodies.

At the beginning, people were still afraid of the remaining power of Inomata Shigejiro, and were also afraid that there might be some monsters in the mountain that killed Inomata and his son. But as time went on, the villagers who had been bullied by Inomata Shigejiro began to covet the relatively rich Laixi Mountain.

However, Laixi Mountain was like a bottomless swamp that swallowed up everyone who entered the hill. Even the surviving wife and children of the Zhugu family who lived not far from the foot of the mountain suddenly disappeared one day.

The total number of people who have disappeared is thirteen. Such an abnormal incident naturally alarmed the Demon Slayer Corps, and they suspected that there were evil demons lurking here.

The only food of demons is humans, and their strength increases linearly with the number of people they eat. A demon that has eaten at least a dozen people is conservatively estimated to be more than an ordinary member of the Demon Slayer Corps can handle. So the Demon Slayer Corps summoned one of the strongest forces in the organization closest to this place, Hanashiba, to investigate and defeat the demon.

A beautiful girl with black hair, purple eyes, emerald green butterfly hairpins with pink edges on both sides of her hair, and a standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform with a colorful butterfly patterned feather hat on the outside. She was breathing with a strange rhythm and walking silently in the dark forest. There was no sound even when she stepped on the dead leaves. Her name is Kanae Kocho.

She is one of the strongest demon hunters in the Demon Slayer Corps and holds the title of "Pillar". Her elegant nickname "Flower Pillar" corresponds to her beautiful appearance, and one can tell at first glance that she lives up to her name.

"There is no smell of ghosts, and there is no trace of ghost activities until now. It seems that the ghosts this time are indeed unusual." Kocho Kanae placed her hand on her Nichirin Sword and walked carefully in the darkness, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Even though she is one of the strongest "Pillars" in the Demon Slayer Corps, her body is still that of an ordinary human. A "Pillar" who can easily crush the Lower String Demons in a head-on battle would be at great risk of death if she is too careless and is ambushed by ordinary demons.

Although wisdom cannot be used as a yardstick to measure the strength of ghosts, in general, the lower-level and weaker the ghosts, the more jumpy they are. The stronger the ghosts, especially the strongest twelve crescent-shaped ghosts, under the leadership and command of the Ghost King Muzan Kibutsuji, will be more tolerant and low-key than ordinary ghosts, even if this is inconsistent with their own personality.

The Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan is a guy who is extremely surly. As a demon king who has lived for thousands of years, he has spent most of his life hiding from place to place.

Especially after experiencing a ghost story in which it was almost killed instantly by Yoshiichi Tsugumi, it not only ordered all ghosts to stop their activities as much as possible until Yoshiichi Tsugumi died of old age, but also increased its efforts to hide in the next few hundred years.

The amazing sword strike by Tsugumi Yoshiichi not only cut its body, but also cut its heart, making it still wary and fearful of everything related to Tsugumi Yoshiichi until now.

"There is nothing found in the front mountain, it seems to be in the back mountain." Butterfly Kanae jumped onto the treetops, the silvery moonlight flowed like a spring, passing through the treetops and falling on her body, making her look like a goddess under the moon.

It's common sense that ghosts can't handle sunlight, but that doesn't mean ghost hunting is any easier during the day.

On the contrary, no matter how arrogant a ghost is, it will hide itself well during the day, in an advantageous terrain where it can fight to the death and fight back even if it is accidentally discovered. Therefore, if there is no absolute difference in strength, the probability of death from a ghost encounter during the day is even higher than normal ghost hunting at night.

Therefore, the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Corps had to hide during the day and come out at night to engage in head-on confrontations with demons, taking risks to kill them at night, which was supposed to be the time for demons.

As Butterfly Kanae stepped into the back mountain and continued to go deeper, she finally smelled a hint of the stench of ghosts when she was about to leave the range of Laixi Mountain. And judging from the smell, it was not an ordinary evil ghost, maybe even one of the Twelve Demon Moons.

"We must defeat it tonight, otherwise more people will be sacrificed!" Butterfly Kanae gripped the hilt of the knife, a firm look appeared in her beautiful purple eyes, and she resolutely rushed in the direction of the ghost odor.

Ling Yuzi, the waning fourth of the twelve ghost moons, is the ghost that has been entrenched here recently. The Zhugu family and all the people who have recently disappeared in Laixi Mountain have become her food.

After hunting in Xishan for a few days, she knew from past experience that the Demon Slayer Corps would soon send people here to investigate and slay demons, and that there would probably not be any food delivered here in the short term, so she had decided to evacuate tonight and continue hunting in another place.

As the fourth Lower Moon, Reiyuko is very capable. After a brief fight with the Pillars, she realized that neither she nor the Lower Moon demons could be a match for the Pillars. So she perfectly inherited the spirit of Muzan Kibutsuji and became the escape model among the Twelve Kizuki.

The only time she showed her face in the original work was when she was scolded by Muzan Kibutsuji: "Every time you meet a pillar among the demon hunters, you think about running away, right?" She was killed by him because she denied what Muzan Kibutsuji said.

When other lower-rank demons encounter a pillar, they may have unrealistic thoughts such as "I want to kill the pillar in return" and think that as long as they kill the pillar, they will get more blood as a reward from Muzan Kibutsuji and become stronger. But Reiyuko will not do that. She will only think about how to escape more efficiently the moment she meets the pillar.

Later, she felt that if she considered escaping after encountering the Pillar Queen, unnecessary accidents might occur, and even encountering ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members was a risk.

Therefore, her current actions are based on the action patterns of the Demon Slayer Corps that she has summarized herself, and she has accurately timed the reaction of the Demon Slayer Corps. Almost every time she hunts, she moves her position before the Demon Slayer Corps members arrive.

In order to prevent the Demon Slayer Corps from raising unnecessary suspicions due to too many failed attacks, she would force ordinary demons to stay where they were after she left, allowing the Demon Slayer Corps to attack them and ignore her existence.

It can be said that in terms of escaping death, she is even better than her teacher. If Muzan Kibutsuji, the self-centered and often neurotic guy, had half of Reiyuko's skills, he might not have died in the end.

However, today Ling Yuzi's evacuation plan encountered a small accident.

As a ghost, when she sees humans other than the "Pillars", she will subconsciously score them in her mind, using the standards of food ingredients. For example, the Tomatata Jujiro she recently ate scored 7 points in her mind, out of a total of .

Although Inomata Shigejiro was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and his age and gender did not quite suit Rei's taste, his meat was unexpectedly firm, with a perfect ratio of muscle to fat, so Rei made an exception and gave him a relatively high score.

What Reiyuko inherited from Muzan Kibutsuji was not only his way of living a life of compromise, but also his inherent arrogance. As a demon, a higher life form that surpasses humans, in her eyes humans are nothing more than a group of food, and even the "Pillars" are just some prickly food with low cost-effectiveness.

However, when Ling Yuzi saw the beautiful figure with its back to her in the moonlight, she felt a fear that came from her blood. It was a deeper and more terrifying fear than when she faced Muzan Kibutsuji, the source of her bloodline. It was as if she was food in front of that figure!

In Ling Yuzi's terrified eyes, the figure turned around. Under the moonlight, the pair of beautiful eyes like rubies seemed to penetrate her soul, making her tremble all over. "Hoho, what, you're not going to come closer to me?"

Baihen, the male form of the Pillar, makes a grand appearance under the bright and pure moonlight!

The fear as if being targeted by a natural enemy made Ling Yuzi unable to even think of running away. He could only ask in a trembling voice: "What... are you?"

"It's still a familiar question, just right." Familiar question, familiar taste. Bai Hen was too lazy to complain about this question. After all, a man as cool as him was like a firefly in the dark night, and would attract unnecessary attention no matter where he was.

But habit is habit, Bai Hen still has no habit of answering this question, especially when facing this guy who makes him lose interest in sex, although according to the general appearance of ghosts, Ling Yuzi is still cute: "If you don't come over, then I will go over."

Click, click, Bai Hen walked slowly towards Ling Yuzi, stepping on the dead leaves on the ground, one step, two steps. Every step he took would cause more cold sweat to break out on Ling Yuzi's back and forehead, and his body would shake like a sieve.

But Ling Yuzi didn't have the courage to escape, let alone the idea of resisting. She was the most spineless of the Twelve Demon Moons in existence, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to run away as soon as she saw the Pillars before the fight even started. At this moment, she was as stiff as a possum, and if she didn't know that playing dead was useless, she would have wanted to foam at the mouth and die on the spot.

The distance between them was not very long. Although Ling Yuzi felt that this period of time was like a year, and she even felt that a whole night had passed, it was actually only ten seconds. Bai Hen walked in front of Ling Yuzi, stretched out his hand and grabbed her hair, making her look up at him: "You really have no taste, carving words in my eyes."

Eyes are often considered one of the most expressive and beautiful features of the face. They are windows to emotions and thoughts. Everyone's eyes have their own unique color, shape and expression. This uniqueness makes eyes part of personal charm.

Bai Hen likes to look into other people's eyes.

However, this tasteless guy Muzan Kibutsuji likes to carve words in his eyes, declaring his absolute dominance over the Twelve Demon Moons in this way. In Bai Hen's view, this is a completely shameful and wasteful behavior.

Muzan Kibutsuji, this guy is like a complete art insulator. Not only does he not create any value while alive, but he keeps gnawing at the value of the world like an insatiable locust.

After swallowing up the value of one place, it will move to the next place and continue to repeat the previous wasteful behavior.

Bai Hen stared into Ling Yuzi's eyes, his sight passed through the not-too-distant space and locked onto the master behind him: "How disgusting, Muzan Kibutsuji, you look over here."

click -

Muzan Kibutsuji, who was spying on Baihen through Lingyuzi's perspective, suddenly realized that he had been exposed to Baihen's gaze. He was so frightened that he crushed the object in his hand: "Where did this guy come from!"

The anger caused by feeling offended, the fear of Baihen, the unknown existence that made Lingyuzi unable to resist, and the uneasiness about his own situation, this is the mood of Muzan Kibutsuji at the moment, just like every time he encountered an unexpected situation in the past.

"Ugh, it tastes so disgusting. It's a double disaster for the vision and taste." Bai Hen retched.

"Pah! Even if we mix all the moldy and rotten things together and ferment them for 49 days to create a 'great delicacy', it will still be 10,000 times more delicious than you guys."

"It's simply torture. This is the first time I've suffered such a loss in such a long time! Muzan Kibutsuji, you really deserve to die." Just now, Bai Hen absorbed a bit of flesh and blood from Ling Yuzi through the body of his own Pillar Man, but the taste made Bai Hen want to slap himself twice, and angrily cursed himself a few seconds ago - why are you so mean!

Why should I imitate those guys like Kaz and pretend to be cool? I don’t lack this nutrition. Now, this psychological shadow cannot be made up in a short time.

Ling Yuzi didn't dare to say a word about the ingredients that made Bai Hen sick. The shivering Ling Yuzi was very glad that he was not so to Bai Hen's taste.

"Just wait there, Muzan Kibutsuji. I will let you make good use of your value for the rest of your life and become a valuable work of art. The theme is - despair!"

Chapter 248 Benefactor, Kill Me Quickly

After Kanae Kocho rushed to the scene following the increasingly strong smell of ghosts and blood, the scene before her made her speechless and at a loss.

I saw a head with wide eyes and full of fear constantly shaking up and down under the starry sky. The eyes of this head were filled with tears but it was trying hard to hold back the tears and not dare to let them flow out of its eye sockets. Its mouth was tightly closed and it dared not make a sound.

When the owner of the eyes saw the arrival of Butterfly Kanae, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and he looked at Butterfly Kanae with an extremely expectant look, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Butterfly Kanae had no sympathy or pity for the dire situation of Ling Yuzi, who had only a head left but could still act so dramatically. Not to mention that any creature that could still be alive in this situation must be a ghost, the bright light of Lower String in Ling Yuzi's eyes alone had already exposed her identity.

Kanae Kocho is gentle and kind-hearted. She has a bit of sympathy for ghosts because ghosts were once the same kind of creatures as humans.

He believes that ghost hunting is not only about saving the people that the ghosts want to kill, but also about freeing the ghosts from the sad cause and effect. He is considered "too gentle" by Rock Pillar, Beimingyu Gyomei. When he and his sister Shinobu Kocho agreed to kill ghosts together, he was prepared to sacrifice himself to protect the happiness of others.

However, even for Kanae Kocho who has such thoughts, it is difficult for her to have sympathy for the Twelve Demon Moons. Perhaps there is a possibility that ordinary ghosts are forced to succumb to their ghost instincts and start hunting humans, but for the ghosts who can become the Twelve Demon Moons, none of them are innocent.

Even if they were all killed and then resurrected and killed again, most of the Twelve Ghost Moons still deserved to die, especially the Waxing Moons. The strength of each of them was built on countless meals.

The upper-rank demons, which have not changed for over a hundred years, even if they only eat one person a day on average, each demon has eaten at least 40,000 people.

But now, one of the Twelve Demon Moons, one of the Forty Lower Moons who has always avoided direct battle with the "Pillars" and even ran away when he saw the Pillars, actually showed an expression of excitement and even relief after seeing the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Corps who are irreconcilable with him. This made Kanae Kocho shudder and her vigilance reached its peak.

Baihen kicked Ling Yuzi's head towards Butterfly Kanae, and then said, "You're a little slow. If I hadn't happened to be here, she would have already run away."

As for the demons in Demon Slayer World whose recovery ability is even greater than that of the vampires in JOJO World, Baihen does not have many ways to completely eliminate them with the current power of the Pillar Men. The best, quickest and most environmentally friendly way is to eat the demons directly like eating vampires to supplement their nutrition.

But that small bite just now really made Bai Hen sick. Facing such a thing that had been successfully upgraded to hazardous waste in Bai Hen's eyes, Bai Hen didn't even want to eat it. He didn't even want to infiltrate his own cells into her body and destroy her from the inside. This would also make him feel sick.

It was not possible to eliminate the ghost using ordinary physical methods. Bai Hen, who was disgusted by Ling Yuzi, did not want to let her go, so he simply pulled her head off and started padding the ball on the spot, intending to do so until the sun rose and end her sinful life with the simplest and plain sunlight.

But it is obvious that Bai Hen is lucky. The appearance of Butterfly Kanae means that Bai Hen doesn't have to pad the ball all night. He only needs to pad the ball for the 1582th time to free Ling Yuzi. No wonder Ling Yuzi looks at Butterfly Kanae as a savior.

How can this be the Demon Slayer Corps? They are clearly benefactors!

"Breathing of Flowers·Form of Four·Red Flower Dress." Kanae Kocho drew out the peach-colored Sun Blade from her waist. She swung the blade in her hand with a swaying figure. The two consecutive arc-shaped slashes from bottom to top cut Ling Yuzi's head into pieces. Then she took a defensive posture and faced Baihen vigilantly.

'His figure is perfect. Even through the clothes, one can feel the powerful strength in this body. But judging from his breathing, he doesn't know how to breathe. There is no smell of ghosts on his body. Could he be a person with the same extraordinary talent as Mr. Beimingyu? But even Mr. Beimingyu can't defeat Xiaxian Si without learning the breathing method, right? And it's not just an ordinary victory. Judging from the situation on the scene, it's a complete crushing victory. What should I do? Is he an enemy? Or a friend?'

After taking a quick look at Bai Hen, Butterfly Kanae stared at him closely, thinking about Bai Hen's position and purpose in her heart.
