Fighting you is like being in jail.

I am the only God! How could you all cause me so much trouble!

Altair, don't do anything unnecessary!

No... My body is itching, it's uncomfortable.

But then again, why do I feel like Madoka and Homura have become a bit like their predecessors and the monsters lately?

I hope it's an illusion...

......

In the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Homura Akemi, with her braided hair and red-rimmed glasses, walked to school as usual, her purple eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy.

Her school uniform made a slight rustling sound as she walked, and her short skirt perfectly reflected her current fluctuating mood. Her long legs, clad in black stockings, touched the ground, and she felt the solid ground beneath her feet with each step.

The shampoo scent lingered where I walked; it smelled wonderful.

Her current life is exactly what she's always dreamed of: going to school with Madoka Kaname every day, going shopping whenever she has free time, and not having to spend any money.

If they wanted to have some fun, they would even add Mami Tomoe, Sayaka, and Kyoko from next door who came over to slack off for a meal together.

Let's talk about our current lives and our plans for the future.

I couldn't be happier.

The premise is that Madoka Kaname didn't secretly use her phone to send a message to someone.

This sharpened Homura Akemi's eyes, filling them with the sharpness of a swift, deadly attack.

Although it only happened once, Homura Akemi sensed that there was something she didn't know. When she asked Madoka Kaname, Madoka wouldn't say anything, only giggling incessantly. Meanwhile, Rei Chang said he was just asking how things were going, but something felt off.

As she walked, Homura Akemi grew increasingly angry, and her pace quickened involuntarily.

But when she looked ahead again, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

At the end of the road, Altair, dressed in a Tsarist-style military overcoat and wearing a cavalry hat, stood on the sidewalk.

Her blue eyes were fixed on Homura Akemi, a faint smile playing on her lips. Upon noticing that Homura had noticed her, she took a step forward, the black platform heels clicking on the ground.

He walked a few steps to Homura Akemi, and smiled when he saw her.

"You must be Homura Akemi, right?"

"Who are you?"

Homura Akemi, mimicking her initial demeanor, looked timidly at Altair, appearing somewhat socially awkward and uneasy.

At the same time, contact Madoka Kaname in the chat group.

Homura Akemi: They're here, Madoka, come quick!

Madoka Kaname: Here I come!

When Homura Akemi had everything ready.

Altair carefully observed Homura Akemi, recalling Homura's obsession with endless reincarnation for Madoka Kaname... and a feeling stirred within her.

How similar! I'm just like you!

She slowly raised her palm, spreading her five fingers and holding it in the air as if inviting someone. The heavy feel of the metal gloves was palpable even just by looking at them, and the sounds of cars passing by on the highway filled her ears.

But the next second, those sounds were drowned out by her words.

"Come with me, Homura Akemi. Let us rise up together to avenge the gods who created our destiny, to change our future, and for... our shared future."

As she spoke, her eyes gained sincerity, and her expression became more earnest. In her blue eyes, only Homura Akemi's reflection could be seen.

It was as if only the two of them were on the sidewalk at that moment, and everything around them was irrelevant.

"W-what do you mean?"

Homura Akemi took a half step back, looking frightened, but there was no fear in her eyes. She did this only to avoid arousing Homura's suspicion.

“You may be a little inexperienced at this point, but that’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Come with me.” Altair tried his best to appear kind and invited me again.

However, a sudden sound interrupted their conversation.

"Don't bully Xiaoyan!"

Madoka Kaname's voice rang out from the side, and in the blink of an eye, a pink wisp appeared between the two of them—it was Madoka Kaname.

She rushed over as soon as she received the news from Homura Akemi.

Now, those golden eyes were watching Altair warily, and his lips were pursed together uneasily, drawn out.

She shielded Homura Akemi with her body, full of confidence and courage. Her short skirt billowed up due to the sudden stop, and her black leather shoes under her white stockings kicked up dust as they rubbed against the ground.

She stood between Altair and Homura Akemi.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down her cheek, and she felt a nervous panic.

Please don't notice! Please don't notice that my eyes are no longer pink!

If they get caught... Leng Chang's plan will fall apart!

Then I'll have nothing to do!

What to do, what to do! Did you notice?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Say something! I'm so nervous! Oh dear!

No one interrupted the silence of time. The three of them stood on the sidewalk, with only the whooshing of passing vehicles reminding them that time had not stopped. A gentle breeze caressed everyone's faces, causing their bangs to sway.

The moment the silence ended.

Altair stared at the two men, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. His Russian-style military overcoat began to move without wind, rippling like ocean waves.

Her body floated up, and she opened her mouth with a smile, saying:

"You've come too, perfect timing. Let's all come together. To exact revenge on the gods and change our predetermined future, no number of people is enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything around him collapsed. The sidewalks and tall buildings disappeared instantly, replaced by a blue and white space.

And the abandoned building after they came to their senses!

The old, dusty building, lacking even partitions, offers a clear view of the sky without any railings.

"Where am I!?"

Madoka Kaname realized what was happening and her eyes narrowed. She quickly looked around, her hair brushing against her cheeks and making her feel a little itchy, but the situation around her made her even more concerned.

"Madoka..." Homura Akemi's timid voice rang out as she stood behind Madoka Kaname, tugging at her sleeve, a glint of light flashing in her eyes!

The next second, a copy of the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" manga landed in front of them.

Altair was nowhere to be seen, but her voice could be heard.

"Let's take a look first, and then make a decision. I have something to attend to, so I'll leave now."

Chapter Sixty: Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating New Glory!

Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi looked around warily, and after realizing that Altair had really left, they both breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, I thought we'd been discovered."

Madoka Kaname exhaled, her chest sinking slightly. Her shadow, cast by the sunlight, had climbed onto the comic book on the ground in front of her, and a gust of wind turned a page.

A thick white letter was visible peeking out from the lining of the comic book.

"what is this?"

Kaname Madoka walked up with a puzzled look in her eyes, bent down and picked up the envelope and the comic book.

The envelope wasn't sealed shut; it was just casually covered. Madoka Kaname's fingers gently lifted the seal, revealing the edges of a thick wad of cash inside.

That was all the money Leng Chang had given her yesterday, a full thirty bills.

"This……"

Understanding what was going on, Madoka Kaname's expression softened. Her brows slowly furrowed, and an unspeakable emotion welled up within her. Her eyes sparkled with feeling, and she pursed her lips tightly.

Altair...you're so gentle.

Compared to that, we who deceived you... how despicable.

At this moment, Madoka Kaname felt even more emotional, thinking about what she had learned before, and couldn't help but look up and sigh.

My conscience is aching.

The abandoned building was filled with the smell of dust, making my nose and mouth feel uncomfortable and blurry.

"what happened?"

Homura Akemi, seeing Madoka Kaname sigh twice, curiously walked over. When she saw the thick envelope, she was also somewhat surprised.

He frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and sighed, his nasal cavity filled with the sensation of air gushing out, his heart brimming with emotion.

At this moment, Madoka Kaname turned around and looked at Homura Akemi, a wistful smile playing on her lips.

"She's a very gentle person, but she's been suppressing herself because of revenge. I want to help her get through this..."

"Isn't this what we came here for?"

Homura Akemi answered as a matter of course, but the next second her eyes flashed with a sharp light as the image of a certain person appeared in her mind.

Hopefully, someone won't go too far; just stop there.

She was genuinely worried that, with some rather irrational behavior... she might actually make Altair cry.

Especially given Altair's strong character, she would genuinely cry at the moment of utter defeat.

Just as Homura Akemi was worried.

Kaname Madoka, clutching the thick envelope, nodded emphatically in response:

"Yes, that's why we came here... Next, let's go find Leng Chang."

"it is good.

Just as the two turned to leave.

A wisp of pink appeared behind the supporting pillar beside them. Those pink twin tails were practically another Madoka Kaname, her blue eyes shimmering with uncertainty and trepidation. Her white dress clung to her body, exuding an air of innocent charm.

"Did she bring you here too? I'm Mamika Koki, I just arrived yesterday."

She looked at Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi and felt a little unsure, but seeing that they were both girls, she wasn't so nervous anymore.

Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi recognized each other at a glance and exchanged a surprised look.

Then Madoka Kaname smiled happily and said, "Hello, I'm Madoka Kaname. This is Homura Akemi."

"Hello." Mami said timidly, bowing her head and trying to look at the two of them with a serious expression.

She hasn't adjusted to the new environment yet and is very nervous.

"Perfect timing, let's go find Leng Chang together."

"Eh? You guys know Leng Chang too?"

"Okay! Let's go."

Kaname Madoka nodded and led Mamika toward Leng Chang's location, while Akemi Homura looked at the two almost identical pink twin tails in front of her, her purple eyes flashing with something, glancing at Kaname Madoka and then at Mamika.

Hmm, Madoka is still more suited to twin tails.

The location of the cold.

In the basement of a warehouse, this is Leng Chang's secret base, which he rented for a lot of money.

After all, some things cannot be exposed to the light, so they must be hidden.

In the dark room, a fluorescent light from the ceiling illuminated every corner. The old walls bore traces of peeling paint, the pitted and uneven cement a testament to the paint's decay.

Crunch...crunch...

Large stamping machines are constantly stamping white paper, with each stamp producing a full sheet of Japanese yen on the conveyor belt, followed by soaking, coloring, and printing.

All the procedures were completed in one go at this moment.

The air was filled with the smell of ink, somewhat pungent, but still tolerable.

In the corner, a white teacup sits on a wooden table, while behind the table, a banner on the worn white wall proclaims, "Grow bigger and stronger, create new glories!"
