"She is now on Earth cleaning up the mess. Don't worry, everything will be back to normal soon."

"Oh...wait, you are?!"

Tomoe Mami looked at the blue-haired angel in front of her with a puzzled look.

It's fine that Madoka killed her and the witch in one move, but what's this?!

"Ahem, would you three please follow me?"

“…This saves a lot of trouble.”

……

A few minutes later.

Xiaoyuan sat in front of Lu Chen again, but this time she brought two companions with her.

Lu Chen was curious about what she saw. At that time, Homura Akemi was still in the form of a twisted flame, introverted and shy.

Sitting on the sofa, rubbing the corners of his clothes anxiously.

"Commander, what was that just now?"

"That's the witch, that's what Kyubey told you."

Lu Chen replied.

"Alicea originally wanted to give you a little self-defense gadget, but you were a little beyond my imagination... Well, there was a small mistake."

He held his chin and looked at Xiaoyuan.

Even though it was just an ordinary steamed bun card at this time, one could still sense a powerful causal line from her, connecting her to this world and the existence of higher dimensions.

"Madoka, what is this?..."

Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi were even more surprised to see that Madoka was very familiar with Lu Chen.

"Well, the commander is an alien from another world. We've met before."

"No, no, they are actually humans too. The Star Empire is huge, much bigger than Earth, and even more advanced than in the movies!"

Xiaoyuan stumbled over her explanation to the two of them.

She learned a lot about the Star Sea Empire yesterday, but it was difficult to describe it with words alone.

"???"

Tomoe Mami was stunned.

I thought being a magical girl was pretty special among my peers, but there are people in school who know aliens?!

What the hell is going on in this world?!

She is more mature than Madoka and Homura, and having witnessed extraordinary powers, it is relatively easy for her to accept the existence of the Star Empire.

"So... if you're not magical girls, why are you hunting witches?"

"Also, may I ask why you came to Earth?"

"..."

Lu Chen didn't answer her question. He reached out his hand, and Ikaros handed him a metal sphere pierced by long spikes.

Rich energy is stored inside, almost condensed into a black entity.

"Commander, this is what we just recovered."

"Seed of Sorrow!!"

Tomoe Mami's eyes widened.

It is both the egg dropped by the witch after being defeated and the core of the magical girl's soul gem, used to absorb the filth accumulated within the soul gem to restore magic power.

Magical girls need to hunt witches to obtain seeds of sorrow to maintain their combat power, which is their most important trophy.

"Send it to the Great Black Tower. She wants to study it."

"Yes--"

"Please wait!! The Seed of Sorrow is dangerous. If used improperly, the witch will hatch again!"

Tomoe Mami stood up anxiously and stood in front of the two of them.

She simply wanted to remind Lu Chen that according to her experience, the only way to deal with the Seeds of Sorrow that had been absorbed to the limit was to let Kyubey eat them.

It is dangerous to use it for research.

"..."

Lu Chen looked at her and sighed.

"Tomoe Mami, it's a good thing to become a magical girl, destroy witches, and protect the world."

"But do you really understand the nature of magical girls?"

"what?"

Tomoe Mami was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her hesitation, Lu Chen grabbed Qibi again.

Kyubey will not lie, he will only selectively conceal the truth.

When you are not clear about the situation, you will be deceived by Kyubey, but if you know enough about the situation, what Kyubey says will be more credible.

"Kyubi, you're here too?"

Tomoe Mami was extremely surprised.

"Explain again what you said earlier to Mami and Madoka."

Lu Chen pursed his lips.

At this time, Mahua Yan could only watch and watch. She couldn't join in the conversation at all. She looked confused as she watched from the side.

"I reject."

"I can tell you a way to prevent the heat death of this universe. Reversing the increase in entropy is not difficult for the Star Empire."

Lu Chen spoke slowly and made Kyubey an offer he couldn't refuse.

"!!!"

"Is this a deal between us?"

"You can understand that. I won't break my promise."

Kyubey seeks out magical girls to collect energy, and it doesn't care about the problems of a few individuals.

After a brief moment of thought, Kyubey sat in front of the group and explained everything about magical girls to Mami and Madoka in a calm and matter-of-fact tone.

"…Everything is for the survival of this universe."

"After becoming a magical girl, your soul will be extracted and stored in the soul core, also known as the soul gem."

"My soul?"

Mami was stunned for a moment, she realized that Kyubey had only told her part of the story before.

"Yes, as long as the Soul Gem is not destroyed, any damage to the body can be quickly repaired. It can be said that as long as the Soul Core is not destroyed, the body is invincible."

"...Whether it's because their soul core wasn't purified in time, or because hope turned to despair and was swallowed by darkness, a magical girl will transform into a corresponding witch."

"The witches you have been hunting are also the final destination of magical girls. The energy generated when hope and despair are transferred to each other is what we and this universe need most."

"ah?!--"

 

Chapter 1358: Homura Akemi: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing? !

"In that case...what have I become?!"

After listening to Kyubey's nonchalant story, as expected, Mami's mentality collapsed.

The souls of the magical girls are placed in the Soul Gem, and they themselves become beings similar to the walking dead.

Moreover, the ultimate fate of magical girls is to become witches, turning into the monsters they have been fighting and spreading despair and hatred.

"what……"

"Do you think of us as expendable?"

Xiao Yuan was extremely stunned. She was somewhat glad that Lu Chen stopped her from signing the contract.

At the same time, he was shocked by the dark truth hidden behind the magical girl.

These are not heroes who save humanity, but livestock that are kept captive and deceived by the incubators.

"Isn't that as it should be? I want you to understand how wonderful things will come from your sacrifice."

"Your human values ​​really give me a headache. Why would you make such a fuss over the life and death of a single individual?"

Kyubey was emotionless as always.

It does not think it has done anything wrong. From a rational point of view, this is something that is beneficial to all mankind, the entire universe and all civilizations.

"I... don't understand. I can't follow what you're saying..."

Mami was a little dazed.

On the smooth table, I stared blankly at my own reflection.

"I...will become a monster? No, I'm already a monster now, a soulless zombie?"

"Heh, heh heh..."

"If that's the case, wouldn't I just have to die instead of turning into a monster?!"

Snapped! ——

The ribbon formed into a flintlock in her hand, and she aimed it at her Soul Gem and pulled the trigger.

“Ah! —Senior! —”

Madoka and Homura were horrified and screamed subconsciously.

Bang!

Lu Chen held Mami down steadily and took the weapon from her hand.

"Calm down, I'm here to show you the truth about magical girls, not to make you seek death."

Although the senior is a senior magical girl, she is steady and reliable in her daily life and is a senior of Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname.

But because of her past experiences, she is actually very fragile and mentally fragile. If she is not careful, she will suffer a mental breakdown and often hurt her teammates.

"But, but, since the Soul Stone can give birth to a witch, why not..."

Mami wanted to struggle, but she couldn't get over Lu Chen's strength, and she was pinned down by one hand.

"I invited you here, and there is naturally a way to resolve this matter."

"Tomoe Mami, your wish is to live, right?"

"what……"

Lu Chen's two words calmed her down.

A few years ago, Mami Tomoe's family tragically died in a car accident.

When she was on the verge of death, she signed a contract with Kyubey and became a magical girl.

Unlike Kaname Madoka who was deceived because of various trivial matters, Tomoe Mami had no choice at the time. She had to either sign the contract or die.

"You know what? But what's the point of living like this?..."

"Reversing time and space is not difficult for me, Tomoe Mami. Magical girls are involved in too many causes and effects. I have no way to change your existence for the time being."

"But I can save the family you lost."

Lu Chen looked into her golden pupils.

"!!!"

"You mean?!——"
