After going in circles, through layers of cycles, Homura Akemi finally realized a cruel truth.
Now that the Witch setting had been erased, who could become a Witch?
Of course, it could only be herself!
Under the witness of the spider lilies and the familiars, the moment she realized all this, she found the answer.
Then the familiar Kyubey appeared, explaining the reason for all of this.
"It's Kyubey, that bad guy, as expected! Everyone was right; the only designated villain in this world is Kyubey!"
Kousaka Kirino pouted, unsurprised.
The reason for all this was that Kyubey created an interference-blocking field to envelop Homura Akemi's soul gem, thereby escaping the interference of the law of cycles.
The readers all showed expressions of 'I knew it,' filled with hatred.
The main story had already brought them severe pain; now they were going to be stabbed again?
Also, the Old Thief is too kind to Kyubey!
It could only be said that everyone felt Kyubey's death was not satisfying enough.
Kyubey conducted this experiment out of curiosity and achieved results that astonished it.
A barrier was created within the soul gem, attracting Homura Akemi's subconscious desires into the barrier.
Then Madoka appeared, a person with no memories of past or future, and no causal connection to the universe.
Kyubey finally saw hope.
[What can be observed can be interfered with; what can be interfered with can be controlled.]
The phase transition between hope and despair, the total energy generated from this emotional change, astonished it.
"Hiss…"
Seeing this, Kousaka Kirino couldn't help but gasp.
There is cause and effect; the information Homura Akemi revealed earlier sparked Kyubey's interest, leading to the current outcome.
Old Thief, was this also within your calculations?
Also, Kyubey, that bastard, is indeed formidable, to think of handling it this way; it truly has a scientific spirit of inquiry!
It must be said that this statement is an equally profound truth in human society.
But whenever Kyubey speaks, why does she always feel like the meaning isn't quite right?
To prevent this possibility, Homura Akemi chose to spontaneously gather curses and enter a self-destructive end.
Because her choice would be the same as before; everything was to save Madoka!
Even if she couldn't be saved, forever coexisting with curses, forever losing the chance to see Madoka again.
"Really, why are human thoughts so unreasonable?"
Kyubey still couldn't understand this emotion, fleeing while being destroyed by Homura Akemi.
All sorts of death methods truly satisfied the readers.
"That's how it should be!"
Kousaka Kirino took a deep breath.
Although she often saw various death memes of Kyubey in the group chat, seeing it in the original work was a much more satisfying plot.
"Next, it's time to save Homura, right?"
She thought, as a matter of course.
Sure enough, everyone gathered together again.
Sayaka and Bebe's identities were finally revealed; it turned out they had become divine envoys!
Sayaka arrived as a divine envoy, and the law of cycles also noticed this side; in that case, wouldn't Homura Akemi be able to receive salvation?
This was indeed the case; even though Homura Akemi, after transforming into a witch, was powerful, she could only retreat steadily under everyone's sincere cooperation.
During this interlude, the scene of Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko holding hands and pouring out their hearts also made everyone's maiden hearts soar.
Finally, it's here!
The sweet moments that weren't seen in the main story!
But it's hard to say, because this is actually also a Sword .
Because this was just a brief meeting; they were ultimately going to part ways.
But being able to see this scene satisfied the desires of many CP fans.
Red and Blue forever!
…
The seal was broken.
Finally, Madoka and Homura Akemi were reunited.
At the same time, a long-ago memory flashed by: the day she pulled the trigger herself, that feeling of powerlessness tormenting her.
When her scarred arm reached out.
Her heart was filled with self-reproach.
Because such a scene simply did not align with her intentions!
She had utterly failed to save Madoka.
Madoka becoming a god was originally a forced outcome, a sacrifice of herself to protect them.
[Rather than betray my own thoughts and never see you again… Yes, I am willing to bear any sin, no matter what I become, I will gladly accept it, as long as you are by my side… I will not hesitate anymore.]
Behind the moving lines, a deeper meaning was hidden.
"The story is about to end, isn't it? This story, named 'rebellious story,' hasn't been fully revealed yet, has it? Is it senpai's mistake?"
Kani Nayuta couldn't help but frown when she saw this.
Could it be that I thought too much?
Or did I misunderstand senpai's intentions?
However, when she saw these few sentences, she immediately realized something.
"Is it coming?!"
She thought subconsciously.
As expected, the touching scene where Madoka Kaname redeemed Homura Akemi suddenly took a turn.
Homura Akemi actually turned the tables, pinning Madoka Kaname's hands.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
This was the moment she had been waiting for, the time when she could truly fulfill her ideal.
The universe was once again remade.
What had polluted her soul gem was no longer a curse, but the extreme of human emotion, hotter than hope, deeper than despair—love!
Kyubey was finally terrified.
Because of its interference, it had actually created two such supreme beings!
If it continued to play around, it was feared that everyone could surpass a magical girl.
At this moment, Homura Akemi transformed into a demon, ultimately creating a world that belonged only to her.
A world where Madoka existed, not that 'law of cycles' where she felt nothing.
This ending truly shocked almost all readers.
It was truly unexpected, yet so reasonable.
This was the so-called 'rebellious story'!
If everything had ended normally, as it should, Homura Akemi would have been 'redeemed', and the remaining magical girls would have returned to normal lives, separated from her by a world…
How could Homura Akemi accept that?!
In her eyes, Madoka had completely sacrificed herself to achieve the 'law of cycles', parting ways with her friends, which must have been an extremely painful thing.
Because of love, so love.
An ending that caused Madoka so much pain would simply not be accepted by Homura Akemi!
Even if, after Madoka's persuasion, she had temporarily accepted the status quo.
However, when she had the power to change all of this, she would naturally choose to change it, to rescue 'Madoka' from the embrace of the 'law of cycles'.
This was the truly happy ending for everyone!
Not only what Homura Akemi wanted, but also what the readers wanted to see!
