Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

Because of the interference of the unknown entity, the Spirit of Illusion, Satomi Touka was unsure whether the so-called Law of Cycles could handle the variables involved.

"So, even if I feel angry now, it's pointless. After all, we're already on the wrong path."

This is one of the reasons why Kazama didn't hesitate to tell the three little ones everything. Ever since they became Kazama's apostles, their fates have been intertwined.

"Moreover, since we've already come this far..."

"Happiness that can be obtained through one's own efforts is already within reach, so why beg for salvation from others?"

At this point, Satomi Touka seemed to have thought of something:

"Speaking of which... if we in this timeline could also break free from the fate of magical girls, what would happen to this timeline afterward? After all, by then, we would have already broken free from the Law of Cycles, wouldn't we?"

"It will gradually form a new main trunk."

Kazama answered truthfully.

From a higher narrative perspective, it's like a new work spawned from the original *Puella Magi Madoka Magica*, much like the relationship between *Blood-C* and *xxxHolic*.

"I see..."

Satomi Touka nodded gently:

"In that case, there will be no other concerns."

Having solidified her stance, Satomi Touka then brought up the current situation:

"Should we deal with the divine messenger of the Law of Cycles?"

“You can try to do it, but you don’t need to be too deliberate.”

Kazama replied that he didn't actually think much of the matter.

"The backlash of cause and effect will not stop here. Before the final, inevitable great wave sweeps in, these small waves are unavoidable."

The real challenge lies in the principle of cycles, but fortunately, he had made preparations accordingly.

Chapter 406 Response

Let's return our perspective to Iroha Tamaki.

With the help of the Law of Cycles, Tamaki Iroha fully regained her memories and set a new goal: to find her younger sister, Tamaki Yu.

Banished by Satomi Touka and Hiiragi Nemu, Tamaki Yuu's whereabouts are unknown, though she has no idea what situation her younger sister is in. However, judging from Hiiragi Nemu's elaborate efforts to fabricate rumors and cover up all traces of Tamaki Yuu, Tamaki Yuu should still be in Kamihama City.

Because their common goal is the Wings of Magius, Iroha Tamaki and Nagisa Momoe have joined forces again, forming an even closer battle line.

However, if it were just the two of them, they would still be no match for Magius Wings, which had absorbed many magical girls as members.

Therefore, the primary goal at present is to unite the magical girls wandering around Kamihama City who do not belong to the Wings of Magius.

“The greatest advantage of the Magius Wings lies in their purification system,” Hyakue Nagisa analyzed the current situation.

Magical girls within the city of Kamihama have some of the impurities generated in their magic absorbed by something.

As for the members within the Wings of Magius, they have mastered a method of utilizing corrupted magic.

"Ultimately, the reason why Magius Wings can have such a status in Kamihama City is because they can prevent magical girls from becoming witches."

"However, with me around, this advantage will no longer exist."

As an apostle of the Law of Cycles, Nagisa Hyakue, who bears a portion of the divine power of the Law of Cycles, also possesses a method to transform corrupted power.

This incident can prove the existence of the principle of cyclicity behind her.

If Nagisa Hyakue recruits enough magical girls, she will have a way to bring Madoka, who is currently located in a dimension above the world outside, over here.

If the light of Madoka could shine upon this world once more, the many girls of this world could also be saved.

It's important to understand that compared to the immature and uncertain final plan of Magius's Wings, the Law of Cycles is undoubtedly the right path for magical girls.

Next came the recruitment process, and the two first approached Nanami Yachiyo. She was the only veteran magical girl Tamaki Iroha knew.

Although Yachiyo is used to acting alone and has a strong sense of territory, she has lived in Kamihama City for a long time and still has a very strong network of connections.

Most importantly, Yachiyo has always been interested in 'rumors' and has been keeping records of them.

However, Iroha happens to know the truth behind the so-called rumors.

Of course, while Iroha and the others were preparing to rebel against the Magius Wings organization, Touka Satomi and Nemu Hiiragi were not idle either.

They dispatched their magical girls and witches to launch the attack.

However, each time she manages to push Tamaki and Momoe Nagisa into a dangerous situation, she always fails at the last moment.

On the contrary, the number of companions around the two of them continued to grow.

At this moment, Satomi Touka also realized that something was wrong: escaping once could be considered lucky, but escaping every time was very unusual.

Satomi Touka also remembered the last words Kazama left for her.

"Cause and effect?"

Cause and effect can catalyze miracles, and the power they represent is difficult for ordinary people to explain.

The path to saving the magical girl involves many complex causes and effects, so it is bound to be anything but smooth sailing.

Ultimately, the backlash from cause and effect has already manifested itself in two waves.

The first wave occurred when they made their wishes; the backlash of cause and effect immediately followed, and the three of them were transformed into witches almost as soon as they finished making their wishes.

Fortunately, the spirit of illusion descended and saved them.

The second one comes from the incubator.

The three stole the system belonging to the Incubators, an act that would normally incur repercussions from the Incubators themselves.

However, it was also the illusory spirit that resolved this backlash.

As for this time, the third time comes from Huan Caiyu and the Circular Principle behind her.

That illusory spirit has already promised that he will confront the principle of the circle.

But the rest will require the efforts of Satomi Touka and the other two.

With that thought in mind, Satomi Touka stopped worrying.

Over such a long period of time, the magic power gathered and transformed has been nearly enough to spread their purification system across the globe.

All that's left is the last piece of the puzzle.

As the final wave of cause and effect swept in, Satomi Touka decided to visit Tamaki Iroha, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

...............

During this time, Huan Caiyu was not idle. She dealt with the pursuit from the Wings of Magius while constantly gathering companions around her.

Although the purification system covering Kamihama City is the masterpiece of Magius' Wings, magical girls who come here can avoid the fate of becoming witches.

However, there is one behavior of Magius's Wings that many people cannot accept.

That was the 'rumor' that was being spread everywhere.

Rumors are similar to witches, except that defeating a Rumor does not drop Lament Seeds. Therefore, defeating a Rumor is a thankless and arduous task.

However, many magical girls still try their best to investigate and dispel the rumors.

The reason for this is that when the girls first signed contracts with the incubators, while a large part of them simply wanted to fulfill their wishes, some of them had witnessed the witches' rampage and wanted to gain the power to defeat them.

Defeating the witch is not only about gaining a chance to replenish magic power, but also about protecting the city and ordinary people.

In order to give meaning to the battles between magical girls and witches, the incubators spared no effort in instilling this idea.

Of course, with more battles, many magical girls' views will change, but the vast majority will still be willing to stick to their bottom line.

The 'rumor' was created by Magius's Wings, and once this was revealed, Magius's Wings was inherently placed on the opposite side of many magical girls.

Not to mention, there are now other ways to solve the tragic fate of magical girls.

"The Law of Circles... When will we be able to welcome His coming?"

Huan Caiyu asked Baijiang Zhudao.

"The current number is enough, isn't it...?"

According to the apostle Nagisa Hyakue's own words, as long as enough magical girls are gathered, she will have a way to bring over the Law of Cycles and set the world in order.

"Indeed, there are enough people."

Baijiang Nagisa looked around at the girls gathered behind Tamaki Iroha.

Nagisa Hyakue directed the girls to hold hands and form a circle, while she stood in the center of the circle, kneeling down with her hands clasped together in a prayer-like gesture.

Seven-colored feathers appeared on Hyakue Nagisa's forehead and floated above the crowd.

This time, all the magical girls can see this feather.

The seven-colored feathers emitted a soft and warm light, echoing the soul gems of the girls.

This response gradually spread to the outside of the world, to a magnificent and dreamlike carriage.

Chapter 407 Apostles

Outside this distorted worldline, a pure white carriage stands in the invisible void.

This is an incredibly dreamlike carriage, like something out of a fairy tale.

The car body emitted a dazzling array of seven colors, illuminating the deep void around it.

Divine power overflowed here, and beneath the void that could not support matter, a meadow grew. Flowers bloomed on the meadow, and many spirits leaped out from the flower buds, while cute animals resembling dolls hopped and jumped around among them.

On the carriage, the colorful gauze was moved, and a fair and delicate little hand reached out from it.

A pink-haired girl dressed in a white gown slowly stepped out of the carriage. Instantly, the surrounding creatures became even more excited, and even the flowers and plants swayed gently, as if welcoming the arrival of their deity.

But the girl, whose face was full of divinity, did not show much joy; instead, she was filled with sorrow.

She stared nervously at the branching world before her.

The light sphere, which was surrounded by many crystals, was cracked, and these cracks blocked the light emanating from her body.

Outside the sphere of light, there were invisible distortions spreading out, vaguely revealing the shape of a vortex.

Seeing this, the pink-haired girl's face showed even more helplessness, and she could only stand to the side and wait quietly.
