Such a wish was undoubtedly a reversal of causality itself; if it weren't for the karma accumulated from countless parallel worlds within her, such a wish would destroy the very act of wishing before it could even be realized.
However, just as Kyubey said, beneath that endless karma, any wish, no matter how grand, could be found.
"Do you really intend to become a god?"
Kyubey was involuntarily awed by this completely different aura.
Even now, it still didn't understand Madoka's thoughts.
"Being a god doesn't matter…"
"Come, fulfill my wish! Incubator!"
Madoka's demeanor was distinctly different from before.
After making her resolve, she was unshakably firm.
In fact, compared to Homura Akemi's initial cycles, Madoka herself was suppressed and appeared very fragile, but the scene where Mami, upon learning the truth in a certain cycle, instantly collapsed, and Madoka swiftly ended Mami, shows that she is actually a very strong person.
This is how Madoka is now.
She just wanted to save everyone.
Therefore, she was willing to bear it all.
To face an equal degree of despair at the same time as making her wish!
As a result, she succeeded.
…
"Hahaha, he's panicking, he's panicking, that dog Kyubey is finally panicking! Something finally went wrong, didn't it! It seems Homura didn't work in vain; if it weren't for the time reincarnation, Madoka wouldn't be able to make such a wish now, would she!"
Upon seeing this, Kousaka Kirino immediately became excited.
Many readers were also cheering.
They had long been annoyed with Kyubey, always standing in a condescending position, saying 'presumptuous' things that made people want to laugh in anger; now that they finally saw it get flustered, they couldn't help but feel incredibly refreshed.
But as they laughed, their smiles quickly faded.
After becoming 'Madoka Kaname', she possessed incredibly powerful strength and would no longer experience emotions like despair.
The curse that appeared after saving a universe, strong enough to destroy a universe, was also easily destroyed by her.
But from now on, Madoka Kaname will ascend to a higher position, existing as a concept.
In the current world, no one will be able to recognize her anymore, except for Homura Akemi…
Madoka Kaname is everywhere yet nowhere at all.
From the readers' perspective, that might even be a more sorrowful outcome than death.
This is the true price of becoming a god.
Knowing this, Homura Akemi felt even more despair.
What exactly did she go through so many reincarnations for?
Wasn't it all for Madoka?
What's the difference between this and failure now?
In fact, for her, this was an even more tragic outcome.
Without Madoka's companionship, she couldn't even find meaning in life.
"That's not true, Homura."
"Now I can see everything from the past and future…"
"So I know everything."
"You are my best friend."
"Perhaps a true miracle does exist…"
"One day, I will be able to meet Homura again."
Madoka Kaname embraced her, gave her a hair tie, and said her final goodbye.
With that, the universe was reconstructed.
Witches would no longer exist in this world; the other side used to balance the world transformed into Magical Beasts, and Mami Tomoe and Sakura Kyoko, who had died because of witches, were also resurrected.
However, due to the difference in Madoka's wish, Sayaka's history was corrected to 'dying after using all her power in a desperate gamble', and she was then guided by the 'law of cycles', which could be considered a dignified ending.
To die gloriously in battle is better than to become a scourge filled with despair and regret.
As Madoka Kaname had predicted, at the end of the story, Homura Akemi successfully retained her memories, still knew of the existence of 'Kaname Madoka', and, holding onto the hope she had given her, began a new life.
…
"It's finished…!"
Eriri took a deep breath, her soft body, which had been leaning against the pillow, slid into her quilt.
Now, she was filled with a feeling of 'loss'.
From a plain beginning, to the high-energy famous scenes in the second volume, the perfect performance in the third and fourth volumes, and the stunning fifth volume as the conclusion.
Undoubtedly, during this long reading process, puella magi madoka magica brought her an incredibly novel experience; although the taste of the 'Sword ' was similar to that of her childhood friend's debut work, the core meaning was far different.
One is a classic kingly novel that, despite harsh battles, also has plenty of passionate and light-hearted scenes, and doesn't emphasize deep content, but rather aims to make you feel satisfied.
But this one, the atmosphere is more despairing, the core of the plot is deeper, and the plot structure is incredibly tight; it is a heterodox novel that can deeply captivate people and make them feel pain.
Personal preferences in style are subjective, and there's no good way to compare them.
What Eriri saw in it was her childhood friend's astonishing progress.
Within this short period of just over a year, her childhood friend had shown very obvious growth, and the steadily increasing sales figures were also proving this point.
What's most impressive is his mastery of different styles, completely forging his own unique path.
During that period this year, when Senju Muramasa burst onto the scene and was at her peak, many latercomers had a common assessment, one that everyone largely agreed with — Izumi Masamune was a lower-tier version of Senju Muramasa.
But now, as time has passed, everyone has gradually realized that the Old Thief is an even more imaginative person, and it's impossible to describe him using others.
The Old Thief's style seems to be able to transform freely, which is also a refreshing point.
For example, after the promotion of white album, although there was no special publicity, the fact that Izumi Masamune was the main writer spread among some readers.
Some people who never played gal games even planned to pre-order a copy, wanting to see if the formidable Old Thief could also stand out in works with a youthful, everyday romance style?
If that were truly the case, then everyone's evaluation of the Old Thief would skyrocket, doubts from others would diminish, and mentions of 'xx's lower-tier version' would no longer be made; instead, the moniker 'Old Thief' would become the primary way to refer to him.
Although somewhat informal, this is indeed proof of his strength and status.
The name Izumi Masamune will also be firmly etched into light novels, leaving a deep impression on many readers!
If demon slayer was his first step into the industry, his original intention…
Then, puella magi madoka magica will be his capital to establish himself firmly in the industry as a scriptwriter!
