I'm Xiaoyuan. I'm really sorry.

The voice in my head said very seriously.

"It turns out that gentle people are the most cunning."

Yuan's voice was a little bitter, but he didn't cry.

It was too lame to cry in front of a girl younger than me for the second time.

She still held back.

Of course, only she knows what she is thinking in her heart.

"Don't worry, remember what I said, I'm from the future. This isn't a real disappearance. We'll meet again."

"What we have to do now is to save Homura who refuses to be saved."

Yuan Shen's voice continued to echo in Yuan's mind.

"Ah."

Yuan responded softly.

Now is not the time to think about other things, there are still people who need her to save.

She looked at the witch on this side, then turned back to look at Madoka, Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe and the others, and then she began to take action.

Yuan raised his right hand, and the next second an illusory pink staircase appeared in the sky, as if leading to somewhere.

Then she lifted her feet, which were wearing a pair of white high-heeled shoes with small wings, and slowly walked towards the sky.

"Madoka..."

"Zono-chan..."

Homura Akemi and Madoka saw Sono walking towards the sky and they immediately shouted.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Yuan turned around and looked at the two of them with a smile, his voice echoing in their ears, then he turned around and continued up the stairs.

Soon, she arrived at the ruins where the three witches were. At this time, Witch Night was only left with one breath. The broken doll hanging upside down under the gear was still making sounds that were unclear whether it was crying or laughing.

Sono looked at the witch on this shore and said softly, "Humura, it's time to come back."

Yuan's voice entered the mind of the witch on this shore, and it trembled all over. Its monster-like body tried hard to organize its words, and finally gathered them into one sentence: "...Mantou Ka!"

As expected, to Homura Akemi, all Madoka characters are still Madoka.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Homura, for making you suffer for so long. Now I'm here to take you back."

Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to the witch on this side.

I have already accepted Xiaoyuan's identity and there is no need to deny it anymore.

"…No."

The witch on this side trembled, turned around and did not dare to touch the hand extended by Yuan.

"Humura? Why?"

Yuan asked doubtfully.

The witch on this side still didn't say a word, but her body was shaking even more violently.

"Homura?"

Yuan called out again.

"...No...I'm...sorry...Madoka, please leave me!"

The witch on this side spoke with difficulty, and two tears slid down her face with the record on her head.

"why?"

Yuan asked back in confusion.

"You shouldn't have come... because... I'm no longer... no longer... I'm already..."

The voice of the witch on this side was intermittent, and the next moment, terrifying despair rose from it and gradually spread to the surroundings.

Chapter 77: Despair Born from Prayer

Then Yuan was suddenly pushed away by the Witch Thisan, and gray mist filled its body and gradually spread.

"This is...despair..."

Yuan's expression was somewhat doubtful. She was naturally familiar with the things that permeated the witch on this side.

despair.

However, it is not its own despair, but the despair of all magical girls, or the witches of despair.

But why would the thing that only appears at the end of this article appear on the witch on this side?

Yuan, who had only recovered part of her memory, didn't know. She only knew that the witch on this side was in a very bad condition.

"So this is ah…"

Yuan Shen's voice, as if he understood something, reached Yuan's mind.

"Hmm? Do you know what's going on with Homura?"

Yuan asked confusedly, not understanding what Yuan Shen was talking about.

The next moment, Yuan Shen's voice came to my mind:

"Well, it seems that the despair that Sono-chan felt when she made the wish was suppressed within Homura herself, and now because of Sono-chan's proximity, the despair that was previously dormant within her has just gotten out of control."

"Is this so..."

Yuan murmured, looking at the witch on this side, his eyes full of complexity.

So it was because of the unfinished game left behind in the previous timeline?

He created a new timeline and lost his memory, but let Homura Akemi bear it all alone.

Her wish didn't save everyone.

In addition to Homura Akemi, we also have to include Aisei Kyou who came here from that timeline.

Yuan Shen naturally knew what Yuan was thinking and comforted him:

"Zono-chan... This isn't your fault. After all, your existence was already very vague at that time, and you were completely powerless to stop the despair born from your prayers."

"Ah."

After listening to Yuan Shen's words, Yuan nodded.

The past is past, and the most important thing now is to free Homura Akemi from despair as soon as possible.

"Then what should I do?"

Yuan asked Yuan Shen again.

Although she has now become the "Madoka God", she is still confused about how to save Homura Akemi.

She just has the power but doesn't know how to use it.

"Believe in yourself."

Yuan Shen did not give a direct answer. He just said this to Yuan and then the voice in his mind stopped.

Although Yuan's face was full of confusion, he didn't think any more about it. He focused his attention on the witch on this side and walked towards it.

But with every step she took, the witch on this side took a step back, or even further.

"Homura?"

Yuan called her, but unfortunately there was no response.

Seeing this, Yuan stopped and looked at the witch on this side with his golden eyes.

"Humura? Why are you avoiding me?"

Seeing that there was still no answer, Yuan was not going to waste any more time.

The despair on the witch's body was becoming increasingly intense, and had already spread to dozens of meters around. The entire area, except for the circle where the garden was located, had not changed at all. The surroundings had turned into a silent, cold gray.

Homura Akemi didn't want Sono to get hurt, so she kept bearing the pain herself.

In order to stop Homura Akemi from suffering, Sono must take action.

The next moment, the pink light on her body became brighter, and a gentle yet powerful force burst out from her body, making this gray area warm.

Then, Yuan opened his arms and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need to continue, Homura. I'll save you."

Yuan's gentle voice entered the mind of the witch on this side, causing her body to tremble again.

Tears began to fall from its monstrous body again. It once again tried to organize its words, saying the same thing as before: "...Mantou Ka!"

"Yeah, I'm Madoka, so Homura doesn't have to bear it alone."

Looking at the tears in the eyes of the witch on this side, Yuan smiled gently, then her figure flashed in front of her, stretched out her hand and placed it on her body to comfort her.

"…Madoka-chan!"

The originally dim eyes of the witch on this side suddenly became bright.

"Yeah, I'm here."

Yuan responded and gently wiped away the tears of the witch on this shore. Then, an even stronger light burst out from her body again. A huge pink beam of light enveloped the witch on this shore and spread to the whole world in an instant.

the other side.

"That is…"

Looking at the warm light that illuminated the whole world, Ai Shengxuan felt very familiar with it.

After seeing Yuan transformed into Yuan Shen, she had completely recovered her memory.

Aisen Xuan had seen that posture before, the existence that Madoka became after making a wish, or the redemption of the magical girl, the Law of Circles.

And the next moment, the place where everyone was was also shrouded in it.

The whole world is wrapped in light, making it impossible to open your eyes.

……

When Homura Akemi opened her eyes again, there were many more memories in her mind.

In those memories, although she successfully prevented Madoka from becoming a magical girl, she did not save the others, and in the end she did not defeat Witch Night, but became a witch because of it...

"By the way, Madoka..."

Homura Akemi stood up suddenly and looked at the environment she was in. It was not the broken Mitakihara.

Before her was the vast earth and the boundless starry sky, and she seemed to be somewhere surrounded by flat sand, or perhaps in space.

"Humura..."

A gentle and caring voice came from her ear, leaving Homura Akemi stunned.

Turning around, he saw that most of the people he knew were there, including Madoka and Sayaka.

There were even Oriko, Wu Kirika, and Kyubey who was looking somewhere unknown.

"Xiao Yan, you finally woke up!

When Madoka saw Homura Akemi wake up, she ran over happily.

"Madoka, I'm..."

Homura Akemi looked at the surrounding scene in confusion, with memories from two perspectives in her mind.

One is the perspective of herself as if she had turned into a witch, and the other is the perspective of herself and everyone else being enveloped by a beam of light.

It made her a little confused for a moment.

"I don't know what happened to Homura either. After she woke up, she's been in a coma ever since."

Madoka said, shaking her head.

At this time, she no longer looked like a magical girl, and her clothes had long been changed back to Mitakihara's uniform.

"Is this so..."

After hearing what Madoka said, Homura Akemi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
