I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"But this answer still isn't satisfactory; you can't fool yourself."

In the realm of "nothingness" where all phenomena cease to exist, Lei Zhe's divine sense and strength have returned to their peak, and he sits facing Lei Zhe with even greater understanding of the principles of the circle.

Beside him sat another beautiful, altruistic witch, Madoka Kaname. Looking at the goddess before him—or rather, the domineering Madoka—Raize said with amusement:

“You are loving-kindness, this one is compassion. I’ve said before that simply eliminating and denying despair won’t work.”

How could someone who was just an ordinary little girl like Xiaoyuan not have any problems taking on such responsibilities?

Instead of gradually getting stronger, it's a giant leap forward in one step. My mindset hasn't caught up yet, and right now, even Madoka can't defeat this relief witch.

As long as despair and misfortune exist in the world, Madoka has absolutely no chance of defeating the Witch of Salvation.

But to turn the world into a paradise free of despair and misfortune, well, the consequences are still unknown.

In the "ring" given to her by Lei Zhe, Xiao Yuan saw a part of the consequences of that future, what a future without any misfortune or sorrow would be like.

Giving too much will inevitably lead to many people not paying the price, creating a vicious cycle that will eventually demand a price from everyone.

If Madoka's compassion goes to an excessive degree, it will definitely not lead to anything good, but when it comes to saving the witch herself, this matter becomes even more unsolvable.

This is something a god of peace should be troubled by; Reiji simply laid out right in front of her what the girl had overlooked.

The cause of your self-destruction is right in front of you. How will you resolve it?

This troublesome matter is just as troubling as how Lei Zhe is trying to resolve his issues with Xiao You. It's better for him to let Xiao Yuan know about his hidden dangers than to move forward without knowing anything.

"Woo..."

Faced with the person who had once beaten her half to death, who directly stripped away her goddess-like exterior and struck at her innocent girlish heart, Xiao Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed and shy, and dared not look at her other self, Lei Zhe, in the eye.

She, who once embodied the Law of Cycles, was very lonely. Although saving others made her feel fulfilled and meaningful, a god who still possesses humanity still has this flaw.

She used to bear boundless despair and could loudly proclaim that she was okay, but her truest self was right in front of her, and that goddess facade was utterly useless.

What Leizhe was talking about was the bloody reality, not her benevolent ideals. As a god who governs all parallel universes, this is the problem that she, as a god, needs to think about and solve.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! The hidden dangers of the Law of Cycles are evident in the anime and manga. The views presented in this book are personal opinions.

Madoka saved everyone, but couldn't save herself; that's the essence of her gentleness and compassion...

Chapter Six: Everything is Getting Better

"What? You were so determined with your little flame, but you can't do it with yourself?"

Looking at the goddess who was no longer his enemy, Raiji glanced at the quiet witch Kaname Madoka beside him and shook his head helplessly.

If you don't put the "Saving Witch" in front of him, this guy will still act like, "As long as everyone's happy, I don't care."

Can you fool others, but can you fool yourself? Feeling lonely is simply feeling lonely.

"The God of Governance... is really complicated to do."

The goddess Xiaoyuan looked genuinely troubled. Looking at her other self, so quiet and with those sad, dark golden eyes, she couldn't utter a single lie.

The real her is right there; if she truly believed in herself, then the witch who saves people wouldn't even exist.

Previously, she was just a middle school student; now, as an omniscient and omnipotent being under her rule, she has absorbed the methods of governance from various human leaders in past timelines.

However, the rule of human kings cannot compare to the rule of gods. Moreover, life exists on Earth and there is no history of gods ruling the world. Therefore, she has no experience in this regard.

Moreover, the issue of being a goddess is right in front of her. Being too loving is not good, nor is being too little. As a goddess, she may be able to be willful, but she must also be prepared to bear the consequences.

Whether Xiaoyuan can maintain fairness depends on her own actions. The possibilities are endless in her circle, and she is no longer as constrained as before.

"The thoughts and variables of human nature and the thinking of all living beings are very complex. You are now the world itself. If you want to govern the world with benevolence, there is no problem, but you must achieve balance."

"Balance?" Xiaoyuan was very curious about how to achieve balance in governing the world.

"I told you this before when we were fighting. There used to be a compassionate goddess who was similar to you. The way I beat you up was her fate. The difference is that you lived while she died."

Lei Zhe, expressionless, revealed something that made the little round girl beside him and in front of him twitch at the corner of her mouth. However, she was both interested in and somewhat disappointed about the being similar to her that Lei Zhe mentioned.

Thinking back to the timeline where I encountered the chat group from another universe, which led to my conflict with Razer, and how I was beaten so badly by that malevolent evil god that I was unable to take care of myself, I still shudder a little when I think about it now.

Her fate last time was the same as that of the goddess Lei Zhe had mentioned. She felt somewhat disappointed by this outcome; she was such a gentle ruler, yet she met such a tragic end.

Looking at the sentimental girl in front of him, Lei Zhe asked indifferently, "Are you saddened by that goddess?"

"Hmm... I feel that such a gentle person shouldn't be..."

“It shouldn’t have ended like that, right? I don’t hate that loving goddess, nor do I hate you. On the contrary, I really like how you two exemplify ‘God loves the world’.”

Lei Zhe's direct and frank statement that he really liked her as a goddess made Xiao Yuan blush deeply, but she immediately realized that he didn't mean it that way.

Lei Zhe, standing before her, didn't seem to care about Xiao Yuan's immature attitude. He simply reached out and condensed a loving radiance of reincarnation towards her.

"for you."

"Huh? For me!?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the ball of divine power representing compassion, her expression somewhat flattered, but she still accepted it with solemnity and as if it were a priceless treasure, carefully holding it in her palm.

Looking at the warm glow of love in her palm, Xiaoyuan could feel the profound gentleness and immense, all-encompassing power of a mother.

I want to embrace everything, love and tolerate everything, regardless of status or wealth, and hope that everyone will be happy. I affirm everyone without distinguishing between good and evil, and respect the freedom of those who pursue happiness.

The core truth of this divine law, as Xiaoyuan carefully felt it, was so gentle that it was so radiant and moving.

"I inherited the principle of compassion from that goddess by accident. At first, I was very resistant to it, after all, I don't really like selfless love that doesn't distinguish between good and evil."

Lei Zhe looked at the ball of compassionate Dharma in Xiao Yuan's hand, his eyes also seeming to be lost in memories, and said.

The same principle of loving-kindness and circularity must have been appreciated by Raiji, who felt it was quite appropriate to give it to the other party.

"You...don't like it?"

Xiaoyuan was somewhat surprised when Lei Zhe said he was resistant to this legal principle. He was so gentle, how could he be resistant?

Seeing Xiaoyuan's surprised expression, Lei Zhe chuckled and said, "I like love that belongs only to me. You, who didn't even finish high school and have never been in a relationship, wouldn't understand. Speaking of which, it's precisely because you've never loved anyone else that you can't understand Xiaoyan's feelings for you, right?"

"Woo!"

Xiaoyuan felt as if she had been shot in the heart by Lei Zhe's heartless words, and even the usually silent relief witch beside her looked a little unpleasant upon hearing this.

The witch turned her head and looked at Lei Zhe with a sinister gaze, while her round cheeks puffed up in anger, and she glared at Lei Zhe with wide eyes.

As a young girl who had never even attended high school or been in a relationship, these harsh words struck a chord with Xiaoyuan's deepest regrets.

Having never been in a relationship, she truly didn't understand the love that Lei Zhe spoke of, but she knew it was the most complex emotion. She understood other forms of love, but when it came to romantic love, she was completely clueless.

Just think about Homura from the previous timeline; by humanizing her and separating her emotions, you can see how twisted her power was.

"Speaking of which, you don't actually like girls, do you? After all, your relationship with Xiaoyan has already gone beyond the boundaries of friendship."

"No way!!" x2.

Reiji's words caused the Circular Principle and the Witch of Salvation to have their mentality explode, and they roared to express their extreme dissatisfaction and anger at his rude words.

After Madoka Magica and Madoka Magica finished yelling, their faces were flushed red, not from embarrassment but from anger.

Saying she likes girls is as rude as calling a man gay; the idea of ​​girls liking girls is just too twisted.

Her feelings for Homura weren't those kinds of feelings; it was just simple liking, and she believed Homura felt the same way...

Thinking of the emotions that Xiaoyan had expressed in the previous timeline, and the distorted emotions that twisted the entire universe and plundered a part of her Theory of Cycles, Xiaoyuan felt a little uneasy. Her sexual orientation was perfectly normal.

No way, no way, no way, Xiao Yan shouldn't have those kinds of feelings for her, after all, it's impossible for girls to have those kinds of feelings for each other.

Now that Lei Zhe has jokingly asked if she's interested in girls, Xiao Yuan's current state of mind is like that of a boy who suddenly discovers that his male best friend is interested in him—trembling with fear.

Seeing that Madoka's expression was becoming increasingly strange, and that the relief witch Madoka beside her was also receiving strange emotions from the original goddess and starting to blush, Razer immediately interrupted her thoughts, saying:

"Ahem, stop your wild thoughts. Let's put this topic aside for now. Do you see any flaws in the legal reasoning I've given you?"

"Ugh..." Xiaoyuan blushed when her frivolous thoughts were interrupted. After giving Raize a disdainful look, she looked at the Divine Law in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "A gentle...flaw?"

"The fatal flaw of this legal principle lies in its attitude of universal tolerance regardless of good or evil. Parents cannot teach their children to take care of each other with love alone. You are now omniscient and omnipotent in your own world, so you should also know that there are many ungrateful people in this world, right?"

"Too much love breeds...evil."

Xiaoyuan spoke with a somewhat silent expression. Her eyes had already seen everything in human history in the past timeline, and she quickly understood the true meaning of Lei Zhe's words.

"That's right. It's just giving people unlimited opportunities for love, but without guiding and planning it out. Overly pursuing happiness and the beauty in the process can also lead to negative variables. This kind of Japanese simplistic thinking and voluntarism is a common problem in your Japan. As the world's way and a god, you shouldn't bring that into your thinking."

The little girl in front of you may seem weak at first, but she is not simply gentle and stubborn. By nature, she is also ruthless and decisive when it comes to protecting what she wants.

The shattering of the senior's Soul Gem is a case in point; after all, Madoka is a messiah-like figure.

There are too many simplistic ways of thinking in Japanese anime and light novels. Madoka is an exception, being gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She doesn't think in a simplistic way when it comes to being a god.

If you deny everything else in pursuit of your own dreams and pursuits, like the Naruto-esque single-mindedness of "I want to be Hokage," it sounds nice, but most of the things you do will be unbearable to look at in retrospect.

And what exactly is "voluntarism"? In the context of anime, it means "as long as you have the right mindset, any problem can be solved."

Especially in some action-packed, shonen anime, when characters encounter problems that are insurmountable by common sense, they often unleash a barrage of words (talking their way out), conserve their skill points, gather their bloodline power, and finally unleash a powerful attack to defeat their opponent, turn the tide, and save the world.

It's no longer the kind of situation where willpower is required, and Madoka doesn't need to be like that. Within the scope of her own worldview, even Raiji himself can't do much against the other party.

"Hey... If I act recklessly, everyone might get hurt and suffer, so I can't be like Homura."

Xiaoyuan understood what Leizhe was talking about, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. As a god, she really couldn't be as willful as before; there were too many things to consider.

If you did something like Xiaoyan, turning the entire universe into a prison and an eggshell just for one person, that would be true willfulness.

Although it can be done in the name of love, in the previous timeline of Rebellion, Homura also questioned Madoka, who was suppressed and imprisoned by her.

When asked which is more important, "selfish desires" or "order," Xiaoyuan subconsciously answered "order."

Madoka is the most qualified goddess of order, and Raiji knows that Madoka would not arbitrarily distort or break those rules, which is why he told her this.

If one truly loves the world, then according to the principles of Heaven and the divine order, the other party undoubtedly has the right to be a little willful, but the kind of great willfulness that breaks the rules cannot be done at will.

"So now, what's your view on those incubators?"

With a smile on his face, Lei Zhe asked Xiao Yuan one last question.

Xiaoyuan also provided the answer that a god of peace should have.

"Qiubi brought so much despair and pain to so many girls. I hate them in my heart, but from the perspective of the universe, I can't say that their race is wrong because they reduced heat death caused by entropy increase in order to meet the energy consumption of the entire universe."

One is the feeling of disgust I had as a girl, seeing the root cause of my despair; the other is the perspective of God looking down on the rights and wrongs of countless beings in the multiverse.

Although the methods of the Qubi race were terrible, their actions as an alien race did alleviate some of the tension in the universe.

Humanity has not yet ventured into interstellar space, and cannot predict how extraterrestrial civilizations will observe the universe.
