Homura Akemi stared in horror at the explosion before her. At first, she didn't believe the girl when she said she was a god.

But... isn't this too reckless? Do you know how many people will die?

Yamabuki Hanajin simply stared quietly at the people who had been blown to pieces. After a moment, these human fragments actually began to reassemble on their own, and even the deep crater in the ground slowly healed. In less than a minute, the town returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

Homura Akemi finally realized that something was wrong.

"This world... is virtual?" Homura Akemi stared at Hanajin Yamabuki in horror.

Yamabuki Hanajin calmly looked at the sky; she could finally understand what Kyubey had said.

This world is vast; if we had to describe it in terms of area, it would be almost the same size as the Earth in reality.

The flaws cannot be found on a flat surface, so there must be...

Fly upwards.

Yamabuki Hanajin immediately flew into the sky and instantly arrived in space. Sure enough, apart from the Earth in front of her, there were no other stars in space.

It was a fake starry sky, like a painting.

"If I'm not mistaken, this isn't the real world; it's a witch's barrier. But... didn't I already eliminate all the witches in the world? Why is there still a witch with such immense power?" Yamabuki Hanajin muttered to herself, staring intently at the fake Earth below.

Chapter 489: The Culprit, the Joyful Witch

Back in town, Yamabuki Hanajin looked somewhat gloomy. Homura Akemi was still waiting beside him when Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly grabbed Kyubey by the ear and pulled it close: "Do you know the truth? Otherwise, you can't be so calm. Why do witches still exist? Logically speaking, no one in this world should have higher authority than me."

Cupid nodded: "I do know the truth. But you must remain calm after you hear it."

Homura Akemi was surprised that Kyubey knew the truth from beginning to end, but it said nothing and just watched everything quietly.

Are you kidding us? Homura Akemi glared at Kyubey, but Kyubey showed no panic: "Everything in this world has two sides, like two sides of a coin, with positive and negative. You wish to become a god and rule the laws of the entire universe, but the greater the power you possess, the greater the negative power you will generate."

Upon hearing this, Yamabuki Hanakami vaguely realized where the problem lay.

“Not all the witches in this world have disappeared. There is still one witch left, and that is the Witch of Joy, who was transformed from your own corruption. Theoretically speaking, the Witch of Joy possesses power on par with yours and can easily alter the laws of the entire universe. We, the Incubators, have no power to confront her head-on. We can only silently wait for your return,” Kyubey said quietly.

Yamabuki Hanajin doesn't even know how to describe this mechanism anymore. The duality of everything, yin and yang, good and evil, life and death, Tifa and Marie Rose... cough cough cough, this is not right.

In short, the moment he became a god, he also created a witch of the same level as himself. He left this world, but the witch remained.

"The world beneath our feet is a witch's barrier, but the Witch of Joy's power is so immense that she easily created an Earth. As for how to break this witch's barrier, I have no idea," Kyubey said calmly.

Homura Akemi listened as if she were listening to a story. Wasn't this a bit too outrageous? To actually create an Earth?

"Why are Homura Akemi and the other magical girls in this barrier?" Hanajin Yamabuki asked curiously.

“Not long after you left this world, the Joyful Witch appeared in the real world. As magical girls, these girls naturally had the responsibility to defeat the witch, fearlessly launching an attack. However, as soon as they entered the witch's barrier, their memories were erased by the Joyful Witch, and they lived the lives of ordinary girls in this world. The Joyful Witch has a very strange personality; she doesn't kill or eat people. After all, for a witch who possesses the power to destroy the universe at any time, the energy emitted by humans is too little. She likes to have fun, constantly seeking amusement. Perhaps this world is like a movie theater for the Joyful Witch, and we are all actors,” Kyubey explained.

Yamabuki Hanajin felt like she was about to die from this. Why was she still going on and on like this even after becoming a witch? This was completely wrong! Shouldn't she be doing something more meaningful? Like making all the girls in this world wear white silk maid outfits or something?

"Whether these girls can regain their memories depends on you. After all, you're the only one in this world who can stand up to the Witch of Joy," Kyubey said.

Yamabuki Hanajin brings Akemi Homura back to school. The most important thing now is to gather the girls together and tell them the truth.

A moment later, the magical girls appeared. Mami Tomoe looked at Hanajin Yamabuki and Homura Akemi with curiosity.

“It’s class time now, the teacher will definitely be angry if we go back too late. And what happened that made us all come out?” Mami Tomoe looked at the girls in front of her, puzzled.

Homura Akemi immediately told everyone the truth about this world, but the girls all looked at her with suspicion.

You actually think this world is fictional? Have you been reading too many science fiction novels? How could you say something so strange?

At that moment, Madoka suddenly stood up: "I believe Homura Akemi, because I also feel that something is off about this world."

Sayaka suddenly slammed her fist into her palm: "If this world is fictional, does that mean there's still hope between Touma and me?"

"Alright, there's no use in you all being suspicious of each other. Give me your hands." Yamabuki Hanajin stretched out her small hands and grasped the girls' hands.

"Actually, it's very simple. The Witch of Joy created this huge barrier to erase your memories. I only need to slightly change the rules of this world to make you regain your memories, right?" Yamabuki Hanajin sneered.

How could I possibly lose to my past self?

In an instant, immense divine power erupted, affecting the entire world. Under the influence of Yamabuki Hanajin's power, the girls' lost memories actually began to slowly resurface in their minds.

At the same time, Yamabuki Hanajin also felt tremendous resistance; the legendary Witch of Joy had finally been discovered.

Just as Yamabuki Hanajin changed the rules of the world, the Joyful Witch changed them back. The two sides fought back and forth like this, and the girls saw only repeated horizontal bars as they regained their memories and lost them.

"Won't this harm their brains?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked Kyubey with some concern.

“Don’t worry at all. You’re a god. If these girls really turn into idiots, you can just get rid of them, right?” Kyubey said.

I never expected that what you said would make so much sense; I'm speechless.

Under the immense power of both sides, the magical girls began to suffer mental breakdowns. Finally, at the last moment, Yamabuki Hanajin successfully took control of the entire world.

Meanwhile, the girls' brains were already smoking, even emitting the aroma of roasted pig brains.

"It's only half-cooked, no big problem." Yamabuki Hanajin immediately cured the girls' minds, and at this moment, the girls finally remembered what they came here for.

"I remember! I remember everything." Mami Tomoe covered her forehead, realizing it was so hot she could fry an egg on it.

Madoka, Homura Akemi, Sayaka, and Kyoko Sakura all remembered as well.

Sayaka suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears: "So it turns out that my heartbreak wasn't fake, I really did break up! God! You're so cruel to me!"

Instantly, all the girls' eyes turned to Yamabuki Hanajin, the very person Sayaka was referring to.

Yamabuki Hanajin immediately clarified: "I should indeed take the blame for the Happy Witch incident, but heartbreak is really not my responsibility."

Mami Tomoe looked at Sayaka with heartache, but seeing Sayaka crying so miserably, she also wanted to laugh.

"Don't laugh! Absolutely don't laugh! My lovely junior is so heartbroken because of relationship problems, I absolutely can't laugh! Think of something sad!" In an instant, Mami Tomoe thought of all the sad things in her life.

Chapter 490: Infinite Dragon God VS The Law of Circles

Xiaoyuan immediately comforted her best friend: "Sayaka, I may not understand matters of the heart, but you don't need to worry about it. You still have us, don't you?"

Sayaka held Madoka's hand tightly. "Madoka, you're such a good person."

Akemi Homura coughed softly, "What do you mean by grabbing my wife's hand?"

"Shouldn't the most important thing right now be escaping this witch's barrier?" Homura Akemi asked.

The question then becomes, how can they escape from this place? Based on their past combat experience, the best way is to simply kill the witch.

"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but if we kill the witch, it won't have any impact on you, will it?" Homura Akemi asked, looking at Hanajin Yamabuki.

In any case, Yamabuki Hanajin is a god in this world, and the Joyful Witch was separated from Yamabuki Hanajin's body. There won't be any cheesy plot like in the manga where the original body dies after the clone is killed, right?

"Probably not, I'm not that easy to die," Yamabuki Hanajin said calmly.

I'm not bragging, but there's no one in this world who can kill me.

"Kyubi, we should still be able to transform, right?" Homura Akemi asked.

Kyubey nodded: "Actually, the Soul Stone has always been with you, but you just didn't notice. As long as you still have the Soul Stone, you can transform into magical girls at any time."

Hearing what Cupid said, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who cannot transform into a magical girl is Madoka.

After all, the battle with Witch Night was the final battle, and Madoka had no need to become a magical girl.

Who would have thought that another mischievous witch would suddenly appear?

"Everyone, if I may be so blunt, then if the Witch of Joy truly possesses power equal to mine, there is no way you can defeat her," Yamabuki Hanajin stated directly.

Who is she today? The Infinite Dragon God, possessing limitless power. If she so desires, she can easily create a formidable army, making world domination a simple matter.

However, Infinite Dragon is an extremely naive and innocent person who only wants to go home and doesn't care about anything else. That's why he was taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives and became the leader of the Calamity Gang, the main villain in the early stages of Magic High School DXD.

In reality, the worst thing Infinite Dragon did was to occasionally share some of its power with its subordinates, nothing more.

While the magical girls in this world are quite powerful, apart from Madoka transforming into a cosmic god at the end, the other magical girls' combat abilities are not particularly strong and cannot be compared to the chaotic world of "High School DxD".

"How will you know if you don't try?" Sayaka was doing her warm-up exercises with great energy when suddenly she remembered something, turned around and hugged Yamabuki Hanajin's arm.

"You are the god of this world, could you change the timeline a little so I can have a sweet romance?" Sayaka looked at Yamabuki Hanajin with longing.

"I'm sorry, young lady, although I am a god, I cannot arbitrarily decide other people's fates. Love is such a thing... sigh!" Yamabuki Hanajin silently withdrew her hand.

Sayaka's face was filled with despair.

Why is it so difficult to be with the person you like?

Sakura Kyoko looked at the pitiful Sayaka and handed her an apple: "If you ask me, why not just break all of that man's limbs and imprison him in the basement? That way, he'll only have you to rely on, and you can do whatever you want to him."

Sayaka felt like crying. This isn't the kind of relationship I want. I just want to be like a normal girl, watching movies, watching the sunset, and going to and from school together with the person I love. That would be wonderful.

As a result, even God wasn't on my side.

"I suddenly understand why those villains want to destroy the world." Sayaka collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained away.

The senior student clapped her hands gently and said, "Alright, everyone, real life is very cruel, but it is reality after all. Let's work together to leave this fake world."

“I have a question. To leave this world, I must defeat the Witch of Joy, but where is the Witch of Joy?” Sakura Kyoko asked.

This question stumped everyone instantly.

They now know that the world beneath their feet is a witch's barrier, but the area of ​​this barrier is so large that it is equivalent to replicating an Earth in the universe.

This world also has eight billion people, mountains and rivers, deserts and oceans...

Finding a single person in such a vast environment is virtually impossible.

Finally, everyone's attention focused on Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Why are you all looking at me? I don't have any magic to find things. I'm in charge of fighting." Yamabuki Hanajin looked at everyone innocently.

“Witch…” Homura Akemi suddenly turned to look at Bebe.

"There should only be one witch in this world, right? That's the Snack Witch Bebe. And according to our memories, Bebe should have been killed long ago, right? Why is she here? Could it be... that she's the Joy Witch in disguise?" Homura Akemi's logic is still very strong.

Beibei seemed startled and immediately burrowed into Mami's arms.

Mami Tomoe immediately hugged Bebe: "This child can't be a bad person. The Joyful Witch must be someone else."

Just as everyone was arguing, Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly spoke up: "Have you all overlooked something very important? Defeating the witch is the responsibility of magical girls. It's normal for the four of you to be here, but... there's someone here who isn't a magical girl at all. Why is she here?"

Upon hearing Yamabuki Hanajin's words, everyone turned their attention to Kaname Madoka.

"I think I know your personalities pretty well. You must have noticed something was wrong when you were facing the Witch of Joy. Homura Akemi and Sayaka would never let Madoka Kaname, who is just an ordinary person, risk her life..." Hanako Yamabuki said slowly.

Upon hearing these words, Sayaka and Homura Akemi felt a long-buried memory awaken, and both of them simultaneously covered their heads.

His eyes revealed a look of terror.

That's right, Yamabuki Hanajin is absolutely right.

When they discovered the Witch of Joy, Madoka Kaname did want to come along, but the two of them refused.

In other words, Madoka Kaname should be in the real world and could not possibly be inside the barrier.

So... who exactly is Madoka Kaname, who has been with them all along?

Yamabuki Hanajin stood directly in front of Kaname Madoka.

“I know myself too well. As a complete fun-loving person, I’ll definitely find a way to get involved in something this amusing, and by transforming into someone you all know and slightly altering your memories, I can get you to accept her. Right, Witch of Joy?”

Chapter 491: Fighting Myself?

Madoka Kaname smiled, a very happy, radiant, and adorable smile.

But no matter how you look at it, this smile doesn't seem like the smile Madoka Kaname should have.

"As expected of me, you found my true form so quickly." Kaname Madoka, no, now she should be called the Joyful Witch.

“But this is indeed true, because you used this body when you became a god. So my world is frozen at this moment.” The Joyful Witch was very happy.

After all, the purpose of her birth was to have fun.

"Now, could you please remove this barrier for my sake and let us out first?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked.

"That won't do, I haven't had enough fun yet. Speaking of which... we're pretty much on the same page, right? Your ultimate goal is also to have fun, isn't it? So why don't we team up?" The Joyful Witch asked, tilting her head.

For a fleeting moment, Yamabuki Hanajin felt a slight stirring in her heart. The temptation to freely control a world at will was something not everyone could resist.
