The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

To the average person, it was clearly a precursor to a giant cumulonimbus cloud. Therefore, the city immediately issued an evacuation order.

Where is Xiaoyuan?

Madoka's parents hurriedly ran towards the shelter with Madoka's three-year-old brother, Tatsuya Kaname.

On the way, Mom, Kaname Shunko, asked Dad, Kaname Tomohisa.

“She said she went out with friends and hasn’t come back yet,” the father said, his brow furrowed with worry. He had wanted to call Xiaoyuan, but due to the extreme weather, the signal was poor throughout the city, and he couldn’t reach her at all.

“They should also seek refuge here,” Kaname said, comforting both her husband and herself.

"Let's go find her when we get to the shelter!"

Kaname Tomohisa nodded; this was the only thing they could do now.

A similar scene was unfolding in Sayaka Miki's home.

Just as the two families were worrying about their daughters, Homura Akemi and Kyoko Sakura arrived in the center of the city.

A howling wind blew the two girls' hair high into the air.

Amidst the dense clouds, a massive shadow gradually came into focus as it approached.

"This day has finally come!"

As Sakura Kyoko sensed the turbid magical power surging around her, she sighed softly.

"This is the final battle, isn't it? Once you defeat it, your mission will be over." Sakura Kyoko swung her multi-knot staff straight, transforming it into a spear.

"It's still a long way off."

Homura Akemi's expressionless face seemed to have returned to the same state she had before arriving at the bar.

"Only by expelling every single one of the Kyubeys from the earth can everything be truly resolved."

With their current strength, they might not be able to completely defeat the Incubators. But at the very least, they should be able to prevent them from interfering with Earth again.

"There's really no other way, but I promised you, so I guess I'll just have to stay with you until the very end!"

Despite saying she had no choice, Sakura Kyoko's face was full of eagerness.

Although making wrong wishes shows my immaturity, I can't truly understand things without giving the instigator, Kyubey, a good beating.

The two walked toward the enormous shadow that was gradually materializing, their steps steady and firm.

"Ang~"

The melodious bellow of an elephant rang in Homura Akemi and Kyoko Sakura's ears, and countless familiars appeared like a circus act.

【5】

【4】

A scroll-like countdown screen appeared.

The rampaging magic swept the surrounding buildings into the sky.

【1】

After the countdown ended, the giant witch, hanging upside down, appeared.

That is the symbol of the perpetually wandering fool, the enigmatic witch whose story is constantly told throughout history:

To eliminate all misfortunes of fate, to bury the earth with magic,

The stage setup that draws all of humanity into the drama, for this purpose.

If everything in this world were a play, then there would be nothing to be sad about.

Even if it might be a tragedy, it's just following the script.

On Witch's Night, the drama ceases, and the Earth has long since stopped even rotating once.

The story will not change.

All nights are witches' nights.

Homura Akemi's nightmare, in countless cycles, is the arrival of the strongest witch who killed Madoka—Witch's Night, also known as the "Stagecraft Witch."

Its shape resembles a doll dressed in a tuxedo hanging upside down on a giant gear floating in the air.

Although its true nature is unclear, it can be tentatively considered to be a collection of multiple witches centered around a single witch.

Every time it appears, the super hurricanes it creates cause the deaths of hundreds or thousands of people.

If the upside-down puppet is turned right-side up, it will unleash its true power, erasing all civilizations on the surface to nothing at a tempestuous speed.

At this moment, this terrifying witch of world-destroying power floated in mid-air, constantly emitting strange and ear-piercing laughter.

Its mere natural movement caused considerable and horrific damage to the city.

"It's coming soon, Apricot!"

"Ah, Homura!"

The two magical girls took out the Monster Girl Driver together.

"Transform!"

A dazzling light effect shattered the dark clouds, and they transformed together into monster girls.

"This time..."

Homura Akemi simultaneously activated the magical girl's power.

The massive amount of weaponry stolen from the military base has come to light.

"I will definitely defeat you!"

"Drink!" Sakura Kyoko also unleashed her alien powers, thrusting her spear at the giant witch.

The magic-infused gun pierced Witch Night's body.

"Click...click!"

Cracks kept appearing, centered on the tip of the spear.

Kyoko Sakura used magic to create a small platform in the air, stomped her foot hard, and then dragged the gun, desperately tearing at the wound and widening it.

The essence of Witch's Night is powerlessness. Therefore, the magical girl's power will be severely weakened.

At the same time, it possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities. Therefore, conventional attacks are unlikely to inflict effective damage on it.

However, things are different after she transforms into a monster girl.

Neither the Guts aliens nor the Kemurians are particularly powerful races in the universe. However, their ability to grow to enormous sizes still gives them power that exceeds the defensive limits of Witch's Night.

"Dissolving solution!"

Sakura Kyoko injected the Kemurian dissolving liquid into the wound, and then ignited it inside Witch Night's body in one go.

The Witch's Night shook violently, emitting a painful laugh.

It manipulated magic to lift up countless buildings and then smash them down on Sakura Kyoko.

Sakura Kyoko neither dodged nor avoided the injections, but continued injecting the dissolving solution.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, and all the buildings that flew in were blown away.

"Well done!" Sakura Kyoko gave Akemi Homura a thumbs up.

Homura Akemi, however, did not show any happiness.

This is simply a matter of making use of waste. Past cycles have proven that these weapons are unlikely to harm Witch Night. If she could obtain the most powerful weapon currently possessed by humanity—nuclear weapons—perhaps she might have a chance to injure or even eliminate Witch Night. But unfortunately, such weapons are only in the hands of a few countries.

Homura Akemi didn't have enough time to take them, nor did she dare to.

Those things are far too sensitive. If we were to use nuclear weapons, the chain reaction could very well trigger a global nuclear war. After all, one or two small nuclear weapons would most likely not be enough to take down Witch Night.

At that point, Madoka might not be wishing to solve Witch Night anymore, but rather wishing for world peace.

However, while these weapons couldn't kill Witch's Night, they could still disrupt its balance with their impact.

Taking advantage of her body being out of balance on Witch Night, Homura Akemi summoned a clone.

"Hey!"

Homura Akemi's clones shattered the familiars summoned by Witch Night with a single punch, clearing a path for her main body.

The main body used its magic to strengthen its body to the best of its ability, and then rushed towards the Witch's Night following the path opened up by the clone.

The fist, imbued with the full power of the Gatsi alien's attack, slammed into Witch Night's hard body, shattering half of it.

This is Witch Night's first battle against two monster girls.

Faced with a power beyond reason from outside this world, even this terrifying being known as the strongest witch gradually couldn't withstand it.

Chapter 147 Bribery

Faced with the full-force attacks of Homura Akemi and Kyoko Sakura, Witch Night had very limited options for resistance.

Despite his constant summoning of familiars and manipulation of magic, launching the building at the two like cannonballs, he was utterly helpless against them.

In countless cycles of the past, the Witch's Night, like the legendary Wailing Wall, stood before Homura Akemi. The catastrophic attacks left him struggling to cope.

But now, the tables have turned. Now, it's Witch Night who's being tossed around by her and Sakura Kyoko, spinning like a top.

'We can win!'

If it were her and Kyoko now, they would definitely win the case!

Homura Akemi's heart burned with passion.

Despite constantly saying that it's necessary to completely banish Kyubey to Earth.

As one cycle after another unfolds, the culprit who forced Madoka to become a magical girl is about to fall... Homura Akemi's heart still beats violently against her will.

Could it be... today?

The victory I've dreamed of through countless cycles is finally within reach.

Even though Homura Akemi repeatedly warned herself not to open the champagne halfway through the game, she still couldn't help but feel excited.

In any case, I have finally surpassed my personal best.

Once Witch Night is defeated, Madoka shouldn't think about wishing to become a magical girl anymore, right?

Homura Akemi looked at Witch's Night, which she and Kyoko Sakura had whipped into a high-speed spin, and felt uneasy.

Will Kyubey really just stand by and watch them defeat Witch Night?

Say, "Chub, and Chub arrives."

Just as Witch Night, whose entire body had been ravaged by Homura Akemi and Kyoko Sakura, was emitting a mournful, manic, and suppressed laugh, Kyubey, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Spalasine!"

It was still the same as before, clean and white, a fluffy ball of fur, looking very cute. Its tone of voice was still as calm as ever.

"I never expected you could go this far."

As he spoke, Cupid licked his paws and stroked his ears like any other small animal.

"BIU!"

Without uttering a sound, Homura Akemi used her magic to control the pistol and shot it dead.

"Killing me this way, it'll be hard to use me as food anymore, right?"

Another Kyubey appears near the dead Kyubey, looking regretfully at the bullet holes in its body.

Don't you think it's a bit wasteful to do this?

"What do you know?" Homura Akemi asked the question while continuing to spin the top.

"Actually, we don't know much. But we do know that you sent us to that legendary big shot as food."

Kyubey has many informants on Earth. The magical girls who were turned back to human form by Murphy returned to Earth and went back to their respective hometowns.

And it was from the mouths of those young girls that it pieced together part of the truth about the bar scene.

"So you came here to stop us?" As she spoke, Homura Akemi and her clone punched off a corner of the gears on Witch Night's lower body.

Kyubey looked at her with great interest: "Your power is much stronger than before. Is it because you've adapted to this transformation system better?"

Just as Homura Akemi was about to kill Kyubey as well, it finally stopped changing the subject.
