Their commission was suspicious.

If it weren't for the fact that magical girls couldn't possibly kill Kyubey, and that Kyubey, as an incubator, could be the perfect tool for turning people into magical girls, all the magical girls would have wished for Kyubey to disappear from this world long ago.

"Xiaoyuan, would you be interested in chatting while we're watching the battle? Let's talk about... things related to wishes." Chen Luo said to Xiaoyuan, watching the white mist that swept across the ground like smoke.

Qiu Bi's outrageous behavior may have been unexpected by others, but this "others" does not include Chen Luo and the humanization plugin.

It was only a matter of time before Madoka would have this thought; Kyubey just brought it to a head.

But Cupid deserved to die!

Chapter 2194 I've Transcended? Wait, what do you mean by not completely transcending? 10.5k

"At 7:00 AM this morning, an evacuation warning was issued. Residents in the vicinity are requested to evacuate to designated locations immediately. This is the Mitakihara broadcasting vehicle. 7:00 AM this morning..."

The sound of a loudspeaker truck blared across the deserted road, warning of an approaching typhoon.

"It's coming." The magical girls standing on the riverbank looked solemnly into the distance.

Countless sea mists swept across the sea, instantly covering the land like a fairyland.

Meanwhile, countless elephants and circus clowns passed by the magical girls.

A huge figure slowly emerged from the distant dark clouds.

This is the Witch's Night.

The Witch of Stagecraft, a super-powerful, large-scale witch passed down through generations, requiring no protective barrier and generally beyond the capabilities of a single magical girl to defeat, capable of causing immense destruction to Earth. Her power is second only to the Witch of Relief (Madoka Kaname's Witch).

Its form resembles a doll in a tuxedo hanging upside down on a giant gear floating in the air; it is an aggregate of multiple witches centered around a single witch. Its attribute is [Weakness], which in layman's terms means damage reduction, and it possesses an extremely thick shield.

When the inverted doll moves to the top, it will fly at a storm-like speed and instantly wipe out all civilization on the surface.

Ordinary people, as always, cannot see it and may mistake it for damage caused by major disasters such as earthquakes or tornadoes.

The historical connection is said to be the "Walpughis Night" on the night of April 30th, which reminded Chen Luo of the "Walachia Night" in the Moon World. In any case, both of them are of the "Walachia Night" generation.

In short, it's a super-difficult collection of witches, but if Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, Sayaka, and Homura Akemi, four top-tier magical girls, team up, they actually have a chance of winning.

Moreover, this was the original chance of winning. Now, with Chen Luo's soul materialization technique, he possesses almost inexhaustible magical power, allowing him to fight without restraint. His chances of winning are even greater, and he is almost impossible to lose.

Near the magical girls' battle against Witch Night, Chen Luo summoned a small wooden table resembling a tea table, laden with various exquisite pastries. Around this table, a semi-transparent circular barrier unfolded, preventing the familiars and mist arising from Witch Night from penetrating the barrier in the slightest.

"Come on, let's have a chat," Chen Luo invited Xiao Yuan.

"But isn't it inappropriate for us to have afternoon tea while the seniors are fighting?" Xiaoyuan, a kind-hearted child, looked at the small dining table and then at the magical girls who were on high alert, feeling a little embarrassed.

"This is a gold version of a four-star item, equivalent to a five-star item of medium to high quality. It only has one function: to help you occupy the best seats in the audience and to ensure that you are not harmed in any way," Chen Luo said.

"Xiaoyuan, you wouldn't want your friends to have to worry about your safety while they're fighting Witch Night, would you?"

"..."

"Madoka, just sit in the best seat and don't worry about us," Homura Akemi said.

"That's right, Xiaoyuan, you still need to worry more about your safety."

"It's better to sit in this best spot and watch us fight than to go back to the shelter and not see us, right?"

"Safety first."

"Okay. But why not just ask Mr. Chen Luo for help? And why did you just sit down there so naturally, Mr. Chen Luo?" Xiao Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I would like to help... but I think that after providing them with the tremendous help of materializing their souls, leaving the rest to them is the most respectful thing to do. After all, even magical girls who dislike fighting would want to personally deal with the culprit who is causing them to be trapped in this cycle of reincarnation. Of course, I'll finish things off in the end, because I can use a head pat to purify them," Chen Luo said.

"Mr. Chen Luo, won't you use the River God's power to strengthen them? Wouldn't that count as doing it yourself?" Kaname Madoka continued.

"Don't worry, even if they can't defeat Witch's Night, they won't be seriously injured or defeated. And even if they are seriously injured and defeated, I can save them. So there's no need to interfere in their battle. Come, sit down," Chen Luo said.

This was the group request that Chen Luo received two minutes earlier.

A group commission from 4 people.

[Cheering and encouragement]: Under normal circumstances, just stand by and cheer on the sidelines. If things go wrong, remember to lend a hand.

Reward: 1000 Primogems

Difficulty: 3 stars

Although these magical girls didn't become the entanglement of cause and effect like Madoka Kaname, nor did they know every detail of hundreds of reincarnations as clearly as Homura Akemi, it's perfectly normal that they vaguely saw some blurry fragments from past reincarnations with Chen Luo's help.

As for the matter of the commission...

Chen Luo never accepted any requests related to defeating Witch Night. The request he received from Homura Akemi was to make Madoka Kaname happy.

Solving the Witch's Night that has plagued Homura Akemi for hundreds of cycles is indeed one way to increase Madoka's happiness, but it is not a necessary condition.

Moreover, more important than solving Witch Night is Madoka's psychological state.

Witch's Night? How many Star Gods can you defeat in Witch's Night?

How could this possibly go wrong?

On the contrary, Xiaoyuan might feel guilty because of what Kyubey said.

This would make Xiaoyuan less happy.

This will prevent Chen Luo from completing his commission.

That's the key point.

The key points are: 3000 Primogems and a Blank Principle!

Damn Cupid, he really is a troublemaker!

Fortunately, Chen Luo had actually been prepared for this.

Whether or not there is a Cupid, this is a necessary part.

Madoka is a kind and good child. Even without Kyubey, Madoka herself would naturally think of this question—if Madoka transformed into the Law of Cycles in the original story to save those magical girls, does Madoka's current ability to save them but her failure to do so mean that she watched them die or indirectly caused their deaths?

If it were Chen Luo, he would have slapped her across the face for making such a morally manipulative argument.

Using moral blackmail to coerce those who uphold moral principles—aren't you courting death?

But when it was applied to Xiaoyuan, she couldn't handle it.

Because Xiaoyuan really would think that way.

How could someone who isn't gentle enough to inspire respect possibly have Homura Akemi come to save them hundreds of times?

How could someone possibly have such a world-class wish as Kyubey to allow every magical girl to destroy her before she becomes a witch?

After being killed once by Chen Luo, Qiu Bi once again sent a clone to jump into the city's only sturdy refuge—the "Best Seats"—before the city completely descended into chaos.

Chen Luo glanced at Cupid, but did not let it explode on the spot immediately.

Whether or not there is Kyubey, Madoka would have had this thought sooner or later. Kyubey's premature detonation prevented things from developing to an irreversible point.

Of course, there's no need for Xie Chubi.

In the past, Kyubey would hide in Chen Luo's shadow, but ever since Chen Luo was promoted to the Herrscher of Corruption, Kyubey has never dared to hide there again.

Meanwhile, the magical girls also engaged in battle with Witch Night.

As the battle raged on, the best spectator seats began to float, constantly searching for the best viewing spots.

However, the constant drifting, flickering, and spatial shifting will not have any negative effects on the people in the best seats, and they will not even feel dizzy.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, it was not four magical girls who fought against Witch Night, but only Homura Akemi alone.

"Perhaps she wants to see if she can defeat Witch Night on her own?" Kyubey made an accurate guess about Homura Akemi's behavior.

"So, can you defeat it?" Xiaoyuan asked.

Although she couldn't be defeated in the original storyline, Homura Akemi's soul has now materialized, so things might be different.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. Madoka is currently just a middle school student, not a magical girl, so the specifics are unclear.

“No.” Cupid shook his head.

“Even if it doesn’t work, we have to let Homura Akemi try before she’ll be satisfied. Anyway, I’ll help with the treatment,” Chen Luo said.

"Xiaoyuan, instead of worrying about the safety of Akemi and the others, you should consider your own mental health," Chen Luo said pointedly.

"Huh? What mental health?" Xiaoyuan didn't expect Chen Luo to bring up this topic during the battle with Witch Night.

“Xiao Yuan, I am, after all, a Herald of Knowledge. Although I generally don’t actively read your minds, I can still tell if you have any secrets in your hearts.” Chen Luo pointed to his eyes.

In Chen Luo's eyes, the little round head was now flashing with a blue exclamation mark.

This means a three-star commission.

There is also a special warning sign that may prevent the completion of a five-star commission.

"I see..."

"So, just tell me what's on your mind. I think I'm a pretty suitable person to confide in, at least I keep my mouth shut. And I might even be able to help you solve the problem at its root," Chen Luo said.

"..." Madoka sat in the best seats in the sky, glanced down at Homura Akemi who was fighting against Witch Night, and finally chose to speak.

"Some time ago, Cupid asked me..."

Xiaoyuan really needs someone to confide in right now.

Chen Luo, being a reliable adult she knew who was capable of solving the problem, naturally became her most trusted confidant.

On the contrary, Madoka no longer wants to add any burden to Homura Akemi, her friend who has reincarnated for her hundreds of times.

This girl, who was in the second stage of sexual development, was indeed sensitive; otherwise, she wouldn't have been chosen by Kyubey as his target.

The more sensitive one's heart is, the more despair will erupt from it.

……

During the time stop, a large amount of weaponry stored in the shield was displayed and then continuously fired at Witch Night, but the countless weapons did not cause any damage to Witch Night.

Even if you use magic to control a large truck or even an entire train to crash into the other party, it will only cause a little bit of bruising.

Witch Night's defense is ridiculously high due to her [Powerlessness] trait; both her physical and magical resistance are very high.

Thousands of Claymore mines exploded simultaneously, but the damage they caused to the enemy was not high. However, the enemy was not damaged much either. In fact, because they were angered, 32 black figures the size of girls rushed out from the thick smoke and began to besiege Homura Akemi.

The power and terror of Witch's Night are truly astounding.

When the other three magical girls saw Homura Akemi raise her hand, they also stepped forward to help.

The Witch's Night is gradually approaching the shelter. The city is being damaged, but we can find Chen Luo later to use the weapon box to repair it. However, if humans die, they are truly dead.

With so many deaths, Chen Luo's resurrection spell couldn't keep up with the cooldown.

It's strange, but some people who can stop time for nine seconds dream of ruling the world.

Some people can stop time for a long time (but once the sand in the hourglass runs out, they can't stop time anymore) or even reverse time, yet they feel like they can't do anything.

"If every magical girl faces such a dangerous battle, and without your help, Mr. Chen Luo, they would naturally have no trump card to save their lives. Every attack against the witch would be a life-or-death struggle, and even if they faced their end like this, they would ultimately be in despair..." Seeing this intense battle scene with her own eyes, Madoka seemed even more reluctant to let go.

"I know that Homura Akemi's wish to you, Mr. Chen Luo, was for me to be happy. But with that thought in mind, I can't possibly be happy. I'm sorry, but when that thought arises in my heart, I simply can't suppress it," Homura Akemi said apologetically to Chen Luo.

“But I’ve thought of a way to fix this,” Xiaoyuan said.

"Let me use the River God's power to summon the golden you, and then decide who will be the Circular Principle through rock-paper-scissors? After all, there is only one Circular Principle, but the River God's power can create three. Moreover, if it is just an ordinary person, and we choose to summon the not-too-distant future, the difference between the gold and silver or the original body will be indistinguishable, right?" Chen Luo said what Xiao Yuan was thinking.

"Mm." Xiaoyuan nodded.

"But your actions are tantamount to handing the choice to the golden version of you, because since the other party is from the future, and this future is not so far away, the other party will naturally remember whether you play rock-paper-scissors or rock-paper-scissors."

“…Hmm.” This time, Xiaoyuan took even longer to respond.

Xiaoyuan never expected that her thoughts would be seen through in an instant.

Are your own thoughts really that easy to guess?

“In that case, whether it is the original body or me who becomes the Law of Cycles, Homura Akemi will not be able to tell. Thus, Mr. Chen Luo, your request is complete, and the magical girls of the past have been saved,” Madoka said.

“That makes a lot of sense, but it won’t work. I think that whether it’s you or the golden one, if you become the Law of the Circle, Homura Akemi will feel that this doesn’t bring happiness to all of you.”

"But……"

"And I have an even better method, such as modifying your memories so that you forget all the plot points related to Puella Magi Madoka Magica. After all, the request I received was from Homura Akemi, who wanted you to be happy. Happiness without knowing is still happiness. This way it's simple and convenient, and Homura Akemi will definitely agree. The probability of the request failing will be very small." Chen Luo said casually while eating pastries.

"Wh-what?!" Xiaoyuan never expected that such a thing would happen.

"This... is the kind of trick only despicable adults would use. Xiaoyuan, you still have a lot to learn. I'm not asking you to learn the dirty tricks adults use, but rather how to guard against them." Chen Luo wiped his mouth.

"...So, Mr. Chen Luo, what do you mean?" Seeing that Chen Luo didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've relaxed so quickly? Looks like you haven't learned your lesson. How do you know I didn't lay a hand on you?"
