Fighting you is like being in jail.

The disappearance of the pine trees finally brought some peace to the city, and the release of the hostages brought tears of joy to those who had lost their children.

It's just that a family has lost a child, but they don't care about it at all, and they don't even care about any trace of their child's life.

The people around him completely forgot about that person's existence.

Under the night sky, Cupid walked along the roadside railing, its tail swaying in an arc, its limbs moving with a cat-like gait. It landed silently on the cold sidewalk railing.

He stopped when the moonlight shone on him, sat on the railing, and looked up at the night sky.

"It seems that the girl is providing too little energy; a larger energy source is needed."

"Ah, right! As for that girl... if it's that girl, with her talent, she can definitely provide all the energy to reverse adversity quotient."

"If it were her, she definitely could. If she could make a wish and be caught between despair and hope, she could definitely save the entire universe."

"Sacrificing her alone could save the entire universe; it's the most worthwhile thing to do."

"I'm sure she won't refuse."

At this point, Cupid's eyes lit up, his blood-red pupils gleaming with a unique light, and his adorable face filled with anticipation. He slowly stood up and stepped forward, using the railing as a springboard.

Talk as you walk.

"And the system... we need to find a way to make contact with it."

"The power of the system is also quite amazing. It has transcended this world and is a technology of a higher level and a higher dimension."

"Once you master the system, you might be able to acquire technology that transcends the world."

"The Magical Girl Project can be postponed for a while."

"I'm truly grateful to the host of that system. It wasn't for nothing that I deliberately allowed myself to be kidnapped. By combining my state during the kidnapping, I was able to thoroughly analyze the system's technology."

"Now, if we just pretend to be a system and send a message, we might be able to attract other systems."

When the power tower in the dark flashed its red aviation obstruction light three times.

Cupid stared at the sky, motionless, as if some signal had pierced the darkness and rushed into the universe.

P.S.: Something came up today, so the update is late... There should be one more chapter.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Thank you... and I'm sorry... goodbye.

Cupid, an adorable alien intelligent being.

Official name – Incubator.

With its adorable animal-like appearance, it roams among the girls, weaving gentle lies with its clear, childlike voice.

But once this facade is torn away, its true nature is that of a cold, high-dimensional civilization's agent who harvests human emotions as energy.

It operates like a precision instrument, rationalizing its predatory acts with the grand goal of "delaying heat death," and converting a young girl's hopes and despair into fuel for the universe in the name of reason. Its deceptiveness is deeply buried in the cracks of the contract.

When the girl makes a wish, it never mentions the price of having her soul extracted and turned into a gem, and it also conceals the fate of the magical girl who will eventually fall into becoming a witch.

Beneath the seemingly neutral mediator's stance lies an absolute utilitarianism that disregards human nature, like a child laughing as they tear apart a butterfly's wings without feeling the cruelty.

......

Just three days after Tongmu was destroyed.

Today is the weekend.

Mami Tomoe's house.

After learning the truth about magical girls, Mami Tomoe lost much of her enthusiasm for patrolling. She went home after school every day, living an ordinary life.

Fortunately, the witch's activities have decreased these days, giving her some free time.

It just so happened that Kaname Madoka, Akemi Homura, and the others wanted to discuss their future plans during the weekend, so they arranged to meet at Tomoe Mami's house.

only……

"Gou... Gou... So hungry... So thirsty... Water... Kurushi... I feel like I can already see my great-grandmother on the Bridge of Helplessness asking me who I am..."

Leng Chang lay sprawled in Ba Mami's living room, wailing in agony. His voice had become hoarse and weak, and he even felt that he would die on the spot if he wasn't careful.

His black hole armor tightly wrapped around his body, and the life support system ensured that he would not suddenly die.

"Three, three days... Why haven't we found Kyubey yet, and there hasn't been any fighting? Have I just been suffering for nothing...?"

His body trembled slightly as he lay prone, and his hands, which were crawling forward, shook uncontrollably, much like a Parkinson's patient.

This scene left everyone present speechless, especially Homura Akemi, who didn't know where to even begin to complain.

Three days, three full days.

Leng Chang showed no intention of reverting to his transformation, and simply welded the armor to his body.

Seeing this, Mami Tomoe sat down at the coffee table and elegantly took a sip, savoring the fragrance of the tea. Only when the teacup made a 'click' sound as it hit the coaster did she turn to look at Homura Akemi with a puzzled blink.

"What's going on here? Is he that Leng Chang?"

"Hey"

Homura Akemi didn't want to say anything more about Leng Chang anymore, so she could only sigh wearily and force herself to explain.

"This guy doesn't want to revert to his transformation, so he's been dragging it out for three days. And he hasn't been eating or drinking..."

"ah? "

Faced with this answer, Mami Tomoe tilted her head and blinked, completely failing to understand what it meant.

Kaname Madoka, however, ran to Leng Chang's side and knelt down, her brows furrowed with concern as she said:

"Leng Chang, why don't you just stop using the transformation? You...you really will die?"

"Madada... I can keep going! As long as the road continues, I won't stop. So, you shouldn't stop either..."

His hands trembled, his body trembled, even his voice trembled. At this moment, Leng Chang possessed an iron will and would never bow to his instincts.

Under the stimulation of pain and mental strain, he has transcended instinct and reached the realm of the superego.

"My will and courage are as fierce as the cold stars; wherever my fist strikes, justice prevails!"

"Thank you...and I'm sorry...Goodbye."

Pfft!

Leng Chang lay limply on the ground, no longer moving.

Madoka Kaname's pupils contracted and she screamed in terror.

"Cold—everything—!"

"It's no use, I've tried to persuade you many times before."

Kitahara Iori sighed and shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness, and a smile she couldn't help but want to suppress.

At this moment, the black hole armor on Leng Chang's body gradually dissipated, revealing his burned figure lying on the ground in a silent posture of not stopping.

"Is there...is there any food...water, I need water..."

In the end, he was defeated by instinct.

During the transformation, he encountered his instincts, which were as strong as monsters. He was disoriented and unable to dodge in time. A giant dragon crashed into him, and despite his best efforts, he could not defeat it.

"Give! "

Kaname Madoka quickly picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Leng Chang. In just a second, Leng Chang tilted his head back and drank it down.

"Pfft—!"

"Why is it boiling water in your mouth?!"

Leng Chang spat out a mouthful of tea, and with his last bit of strength, roared out a cry from the depths of his soul.

Then it burned out and collapsed to the ground, the ceiling in my vision gradually becoming blurry.

"Oh Reva... Ma Kei Da n. Ka? Shina I!! How could I admit to something like this... Mo Yi Ji Duo! Mo Yi Ji Duo! I want to create a world where people can transform at will!!"

.......

Is it possible that other people can already transform at will? They just don't want to use their points?

Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, and Mami Tomoe were at a loss for words when it came to this situation. They felt inexplicably acting like teenagers, and it even seemed a bit irritating?

Kitahara Iori, who had been silent all along, clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide her sadness after hearing Leng Chang's words, whispering with envy and anticipation:

"Yes, how wonderful it would be if there were a world where you could transform at will. Such a world... must be so wonderful."

.....

Madoka Kaname and the other two immediately leaned back tactically, looking at the two with eyes that looked at idiots, completely unable to understand what kind of thinking this was, how could they be on the same wavelength.

........

Ding!

The unlocking system is now bound; please upgrade your unlocking level as soon as possible.

"Oh?"

On the street, a black luxury car sped by, stirring up the wind.

Cupid had stopped and was sitting on the blue railing of the sidewalk, twitching its ears.

"A lock-picking system?"

Ding!

The task is now being issued.

If you unlock a lock once a week, you'll be rewarded with a universal lock-picking tool.

By continuously unlocking locks, one can improve their unlocking ability, eventually reaching a state where there are no locks in the world. At that time, one can unlock dimensional locks and travel between worlds.

"This is truly an unexpected ability, to travel between worlds?"

Cupid wagged its tail and made a startled sound, then realized that the system was somewhat subtle.

You might call it trash, but it's not trash at all.

But it can unlock the World Lock later on.

You say it's not trash? It is trash.

It's just a lock-picking system.

"Well, it's better than nothing. If the plan fails, we can go and see other worlds."

"Then, let's begin the mission."

A glint flashed in Cupid's eyes as he stood up and gazed at the street scene ahead, a road that stretched on and on, seemingly without end.

Chapter Thirty: I'm fucking raising the flag now!

That day, Leng Chang sat at Ba Mamei's house, indulging in a feast.

Being starved for three days and three nights is truly agonizing; I would never have given up unless I couldn't take it anymore.

Fortunately, Homura Akemi has plenty of money in her bank account, so she can spend it as much as she wants.

When the metal spoon used for eating is placed on the plate.

Leng Chang lay on the sofa in Ba Mami's house, wiping his mouth with a tissue, his lips greasy, and he looked like he had gained weight.

Although such overeating is harmful to the body, how can one resist it? How can one not be hungry?

"It feels so comfortable to lie down after a full meal. I wish I could take a nap like this."

As Leng Chang closed her eyes with a happy smile.

Ding!

The detected world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been invaded by a system. Please eliminate it to prevent the world from being destroyed.

If the mission fails, the purge protocol will be activated, resulting in indiscriminate annihilation.

System host: Cupid.

Binding system: Unlocking system capable of opening any lock.

Danger: The ultimate form can unlock the World Lock.
