Fighting you is like being in jail.

Upon hearing the name, Leng Chang's pupils trembled. For some reason, he felt a sense of peace, as if he had encountered a childhood sweetheart he had known for a long time.

"Thank you, my name is Leng Chang."

……

In the chat group.

Madoka Kaname: Hmm? Solved?

Leng Chang: Done, my world is back!

Kitahara Iori: You're trying to hog everything, huh? Fighting doesn't make you a brother, and you even stole my monster before. From now on, we're not friends anymore!

Kazuma Sato: Exactly! We're breaking off all ties!

Leng Chang: Fine, let's break off the friendship! I won't tell you that I've already reached an agreement with the World Will, so from now on we'll have someone to rely on when we're out in the world!

Kazuma Sato: Huh?! From today onwards, you're no longer my brother! You're my godfather!

Kitahara Iori: Really? Godfather!

Leng Chang: Tsk tsk tsk, I still prefer your previous unruly self.

Chapter 289 Oh no! Loneliness has faded away.

Celiah: Cough cough, so what's going on? Please explain in detail.

Leng Chang: I met with the World Will and had a talk, and then learned some specific details. The World Will is also resisting the system, but its methods are rather terrifying.

Celia: Scary?

Leng Chang: Yes, the system's goal is the world core. When the world's will has no other choice, it will summon some people to launch an attack using the world core, which can only be used once. After the attack, the world core will be consumed, the world will shatter, and it will merge with neighboring worlds.

Kitahara Iori: Stunned (JPG)

Kazuma Sato: Hiss—! So it's a mutual destruction? That's ruthless.

Bucciarati: Compared to being devoured, fighting back is always better than surrendering. But then, how did Yukari Yakumo defeat the system back then?

Yukari Yakumo: Hmm? We used almost all our energy to defeat the system back then, so thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that strong.

Hachiman: It seems to be a newly developed system, otherwise it would have been impossible to beat it.

Yukari Yakumo: That's probably how it is. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. *sigh*

Rem: Thankfully, I didn't encounter the system.

Homura Akemi: So here's the question, where is Kurumi?

Kurumi: What's wrong?

Homura Akemi: Is it possible that what you see in your eyes is the core of the world?

Kurumi: Uh... I'm not sure.

Leng Chang: If it's the world's core, then it means the world's will sent Kurumi to a neighboring world at the end, while simultaneously hiding the world's core. The system then pursued it and was destroyed by us…

Leng Chang: That's not right. If the system was erased, Kurumi's eyes should have recovered. Does that mean that destroying the system is the same as destroying Kurumi?

Kurumi: Confused JPG.

Madoka Kaname: Is it possible... that the system that destroyed Kurumi's world is actually another one? And that the system that chases Kurumi is yet another one?

Homura Akemi: If that's the case... why are they chasing after them? Doesn't the other system care?

Kitahara Iori: Could it be! (A glint of light flashed in her eyes.)

Kitahara Iori: Remember the Fig Structure? There are factions within the system, meaning the system that was chasing Kurumi was a system that infiltrated and stole the results.

Leng Chang: Oh! I get it, parasitism. So, the existence of the system we erased caused the system that destroyed Kurumi's world to be resurrected... My god, how did we save another system?

Homura Akemi: Ha! Those who manipulate cause and effect will ultimately be manipulated by cause and effect. Isn't that the obvious answer?

Black and White Hill: What the heck is this?! Doesn't that mean that once we find the original system, the system that wipes out all worlds will be gone in one fell swoop?

Hiratsuka Shizuka: That makes sense. So the question is, where is the original system? Is that original system still alive?

Hiratsuka Shizuka: If she dies, we'll have to go back in time to revive her and then erase her...

Kazuma Sato: Big Head JPG.

Goto Ichiri: Thinking about it carefully... this is completely impossible for us to do, right?

Leng Chang: Perhaps it's possible, lost in thought. (JPG)

Goto Ichiri: Stunned (JPG)

Madoka Kaname: How so? (Small round headshot JPG)

Leng Chang: Just because we can't do it doesn't mean other beings can't. We can connect with the world's will; there must be some way of communication between world consciousnesses.

Leng Chang: As long as the news is released, we should be able to trace back to the earliest destroyed world.

Kurumi: That's right, and then we attack along the cause and effect, right?

Leng Chang: That's right! Elegant JPG.

Kitahara Iori: The winds of victory have already risen behind us! Woohoo!

Shikame Madoka:Yeah!

……

Leng Chang sat in a roadside milk tea shop, thinking more and more about this method, which seemed feasible and could even end all of this once and for all.

Then I can retire and start my retirement life!

Yay! Retirement!

Wait a minute! Retirement life seems no different from now.

Oh no! Loneliness has vanished.

But it doesn't matter!

All we need to do is destroy the entire system, and then everything will be fine.

Regardless of the circumstances, set a small goal: destroy the system!

Thinking of this, Leng Chang's eyes gradually sharpened. No matter what, the harm caused by the system was too great to be ignored.

At this moment, a familiar girl suddenly blocked the light in front of Leng Chang, and her shadow fell on Leng Chang.

Looking up, I saw Madoka Kaname with her hair in pigtails, smiling happily.

"So you've been here all along. I've been looking for you for so long."

As she spoke, she sat down on the floor of the table, looking happily at Leng Chang, her hands supporting her face on the table.

"what happened?"

Leng Chang glanced over with a somewhat unsettling look, feeling as if a cold pistol would appear above his head any second.

Madoka Kaname smiled and said nothing, just watched with a smile, as if that alone made her happy.

The girl's feelings were overflowing.

However, Leng Chang was quite certain that if he said anything that crossed the line, the cold rocket launcher would appear from an unexpected place.

With a smile, Madoka Kaname suddenly seemed to realize something and asked seriously:

"Leng Chang, when are you going back?"

"Over there... in a few days. I just got back and dealt with so many things. I'm genuinely afraid that the world will merge again as soon as I leave."

Leng Chang said worriedly, "I really don't want to go home again and feel lost and confused."

After sitting with Madoka Kaname for a while, Leng Chang went home.

……

A few days later, Leng Chang would go out in the morning pretending to be going to work.

I was just about to find a place to slack off and do nothing when I saw the little monster standing by the roadside waiting for me after only a few steps.

She smiled faintly and walked over after seeing Leng Chang. Leng Chang listlessly bought two steamed buns and handed one to the little monster.

"Want to eat?"

"It's not necessary."

The little monster smiled and said, showing no intention of eating at all.

"Then I'll eat it myself."

Leng Chang immediately put the food away, opened his mouth, and ate it. While chewing, he looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"A request for help has been received. The system has activated its assistance. Your help is needed."

The little monster stood quietly beside Leng Chang, maintaining its smile, and said...

Leng Chang raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Looks like you've found a solution? How far have you progressed?"

"It's the evolved system. She carved out the world, and the moment she discovered it, she started asking for help. I just told her about your situation, and I didn't expect to receive news so quickly."

"It can't possibly be slow; the system's adoption rate is already beyond imagination."

"That's right, so I'm incredibly grateful that you were born in my world."

"You can only say it was good luck."

"Yes, we were lucky."

"By the way, I need your help."

"what's up?"

"I want to destroy all systems, so I need to find the original system."

As he spoke, Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he glanced at the little monster beside him, his expression full of certainty.

The little monster's smile faltered. She glanced sideways, and when their eyes met, she said, "The original system? That's probably difficult, but not impossible. However, I'm not sure if it's the original system, but we were able to find the earliest destroyed world, which is relatively simple."

"But it's not necessarily the original system that was destroyed. After all, it's just the earliest one we know of."

She explained what she knew, looking at Leng Chang with a serious expression.

Leng Chang nodded in agreement. "That's fine. I'll trace the rest back to where they are. When those destroyed worlds are resurrected, you can ask them if they know anything about it."

"Yes, that's perfect. I believe it won't be long before we can trace back to the original system."

"Then let's leave it at that."

Leng Chang looked away, squatted down by the roadside and ate a steamed bun, seemingly lost in thought.

The little monster looked at Leng Chang and said, "Thank you."

"what?"

"Thank you for standing on the side of the world."

"Uh... even if you say that, I feel it's a bit unnecessary. After all, I don't feel any realness about myself, and even without me, this power would manifest in someone else."

"That being said, at least you are helping us for free now, aren't you, my savior?"

The little monster smiled, acknowledging Leng Chang's contribution.

The next second, she disappeared, leaving Leng Chang with only a set of world coordinates.

After that, things became much easier. Since both worlds were connected, there were no obstacles to crossing over.

……

Chainsaw Man's Time, Tokyo.

Police Section Four, Office.

Machima sat at her desk, carefully examining the documents in front of her. Her golden, round eyes revealed no emotion, but the upturned corners of her mouth always gave off a satisfied smile.

When she sees her subordinates, her smile is as happy and gratified as when she sees a dog that has completed its command.

Demons are everywhere in this world; everything that humans fear will become a demon and be born in hell.

In Hell, demons engage in endless slaughter, and the slain demons reappear in the human world. Then, the demons killed in the human world reappear in Hell, and this cycle repeats endlessly.

Powerful demons never appear in the human world.
