Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 563 It felt like a huge rock was pressing on Kyubey's chest.
As Sayaka herself said, she was just a fool, a fool who didn't know she had been living a happy life all along.

She no longer desires to become a magical girl, nor does she have any longing for it.

There's no way around it; once you enter this universe and become involved with the five magical girls, including Mitakihara, you're essentially trapped in an inescapable vortex of cause and effect.

"Because you are all qualified young ladies~"

Suddenly appearing, the mysterious being that answered Sayaka's question leisurely hopped onto the tea table.

From each of its two white ears grew another long white ear. A pair of golden earrings hung from its ears, its long tail swayed, and it had a pair of bright, red eyes—it was Cupid.

"Is it... a soul? The wavelengths emanating from your souls are different now. Has another soul entered your bodies...?"

It scanned the area with its ruby-red eyes, its tone questioning yet carrying an air of certainty.

Although Kyubey has no emotions, it still possesses something akin to a thirst for knowledge. As a god-like civilization facing cosmic-level challenges, it doesn't need many attempts; by simply combining speculation with the current situation and making verifications, it can glean some clues.

According to information shared by all the Kyubeys, apart from Mitakihara City, where "great cause and effect" converged, none of the other magical girls showed any abnormalities; only the girls gathered there underwent a change.

They even discovered the root cause of the anomaly.

"How did you manage to do that? Humans shouldn't be aware of the existence of a so-called soul, right?"

The Incubator civilization itself possesses technology targeting the soul. To prevent the magical girls from being injured and their life-sustaining systems from collapsing and their consciousness from being directly destroyed, they can even materialize the soul, transforming it into a form that can be held in one's hands and carefully protected.

That is the Soul Gem.

Once the cause of the problem is identified, they can prevent this abnormal phenomenon of "possession" from reappearing in other magical girls.

Simply capture these evil spirits before they possess you.

The fact that they could come up with a countermeasure in such a short time is quite terrifying, even if each individual doesn't have much combat power. If their intelligence hadn't been a bit behind, they might have already been sealed in separate Soul Gems by Kyubey for research.

But in the end, it was too late.

Upon seeing it, Mami Tomoe's expression immediately changed. She pulled a gleaming silver flintlock pistol from the yellow ribbon, aimed it at Kyubey, and exuded murderous intent.

"You're not dead, Cupid?"

Personality switch: Righteous Mami → Evil Mami.

"Then how dare you show your face in front of me?"

The gun was pressed against Cupid's forehead, and the blonde girl revealed a vicious, sinister grin.

When he snatched Nagisa Hyakue from Kyubey, he had already anticipated the current situation. Judging from Kyubey's skill level, even if he kept holding back, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

"etc…"

The alien creature seemed to want to say something more, but the evil Mami had already fired her gun.

Nothing more to say, get to work quickly.

boom! boom! boom!
First its head, then its body and feet... all of them were riddled with large holes, turning into an unidentified white mass...

"What...what should we do?"

Still shaken, Sayaka stared at the mass of white mosaic tiles, her heart filled with unease and fear.

The ever-present haunting Cupid made her feel like prey she couldn't escape, constantly watched and monitored, with absolutely no freedom whatsoever. But...

Living an ordinary life, experiencing ordinary love, worrying about not being a good match for the person you like, and clumsily trying to protect the person you like... it's perfectly normal to hope that such a child can find redemption.

The man, who had been silent all along, observing the girls' actions without offering any advice or approval, suddenly spoke up.

Sheehan: "So here we are."

After him, they all spoke up.

Toki: "We were born as boxers, hoping to fight as strong warriors and save the world, but you are different..."

Sheehan: "You are born with the hope of happiness. God has arranged everything. How can we let misfortune befall our children..."

Saosa: "I won't let my foolish apprentice who calls me master meet such a useless end!"

Rao: "Rebel, Madoka Kaname! Even if this is fate, you, as the one I chose, cannot give up!"

The five magical girls were not chosen randomly; they correspond to the five strongest warriors of the North and South Dippers, and their compatibility, aptitude, and suitability are almost perfect.

Jacqueline: "I feel like everyone's met like a strawberry and a daifuku—isn't that a bit too perfect?"

Asami: "I didn't expect... you could come up with such a cute analogy, but it really does feel that way... it's like the relationship between sugar cubes and black tea."

Jagi: "Not just them, we are all one. From now on, I will give you all the power I have, Mami. You must protect them—"

Asami: "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Jagi smiled fearlessly at the girl.
"The Southern Dipper governs birth, the Northern Dipper governs death. All mortals are conceived by passing from the Southern Dipper to the Northern Dipper, and all prayers are directed towards the Northern Dipper."

--bring it on

—Make a wish, girl.
—Make a wish to the men of the North Star: Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Sayaka, Kyoko…

—And there's Xiaoyuan!
Let us not make a wish to Cupid, but to ourselves and to the heavens! For such a wish is a covenant, and a covenant is something that must be fulfilled…

"Looks like we can't communicate..."

Another white quadruped was gazing at Mami Tomoe's apartment from afar, pacing back and forth by the roadside.

First came Madoka Kaname, the Soul of the Overlord; then Sayaka, the Star of Love's Sacrifice; then Homura Akemi, the Silver Saint; and finally, Kyoko Sakura, the Phoenix Star. Kyubey was already finding it hard to accept everything.

Who the heck is this Mami Tomoe?!
It originally intended to use the witch of Mitakihara to make Madoka Kaname lose her friends, plunge her into despair and loneliness, and finally make her sign a contract to become a magical girl and collect emotional energy.

However, this time, the "magical girl mutation" including Mami Tomoe is something that witches alone could no longer achieve.

It wasn't fear of the five girls' extraordinary martial arts skills, but rather a sense of unease about the unknown souls that clung to them, souls that knew them intimately...

The goal remains unchanged: to plunge Madoka Kaname into despair, force her to sign a contract, and obtain the energy that can change the fate of the universe.

—For this reason, they can do anything.
