"It feels like something is about to happen … It's so strange."
It was close to midnight. Under the night sky, a ferret-like white creature was running quickly in the city. It would stop from time to time and look around, as if looking for something.
This ferret was the source of all evil in the world of Madoka Magica — Cupid.
In a way, the Hatcheries had the same ideals as Thanos in the Marvel World. They were both responsible for protecting the universe. In order to prevent the energy of the universe from declining, Thanos chose to destroy half of the creatures in the universe, while the Hatcheries chose human girls on Earth, using their emotions as sacrifices to absorb the huge amount of energy that overflowed from despair.
In order to ensure the feasibility of the plan, the Hatcheries had sent countless members of their race to Earth a long, long time ago. They selected various young girls from their race and turned them into magical girls in the name of hope … Meng Jiang Nu, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc … In human history, there were countless familiar names. They were all chosen by the Hatcheries to become magical girls. They had more or less pushed history forward.
It could be said that the human history of this world, although not controlled by the Hatcheries, was deeply influenced by them. It was because of their existence that the world became what it was today.
Was it a good thing? Or a bad thing?
No one could say for sure.
The only thing that was certain was that the history of mankind and the Hatcheries were inseparable.
Most of the girls who had been chosen by the Incubators had already disappeared from the stage of history. However, the cries of their despairing souls were still wailing in this universe.
Cupid was a member of the Hatcheries sent to Earth to carry out a mission, but he was not the only one. There were traces of his kind all over the world.
Cupid's mission had always been smooth. Just as their race had predicted, the emotions of human girls were too rich and delicate. Under that delicate appearance, there were emotions more intense than the sea and volcanoes. They became magical girls because of hope, and then fell because of despair. The energy that overflowed afterward, just as they had planned, fed the universe.
However, recently, things had become a little strange.
It was probably from the time of Xiao Meiyan that many things had become unfathomable, gradually going out of his control. Especially tonight, an unprecedented throbbing made Qiu Bi feel uneasy.
Uneasy?
Am I upset?
After realizing this, even Qiubi himself felt that it was strange. Because their race did not have any emotions, they chose human girls who were full of emotions. Since that was the case, why did he feel uneasy?
In order to find out the truth, Qiu Bi decided to find Xiao Meiyan. However, not to mention Xiao Meiyan, even Ba Asami and Shikamewon, who trusted him deeply, were nowhere to be found. It was as if they had completely disappeared from this world …
"Where did they go?"
Cupid stood under the night sky and looked around blankly.
At this moment, a black crack suddenly appeared behind it. As the crack gradually expanded, a hand suddenly reached out from it. Before it could react, it was dragged inside.
"Hmm … Is this the Hatchery race? They don't look any different from ordinary magical creatures. "
"Don't judge it by its appearance. This guy is very dangerous."
"I can feel it too. It has a very unique quality."
"… This feeling is just like a demon god …"
"That must be its origin …" Qin Mo said.
"If that's the case, it will work …"
When Kewpie woke up, he found himself locked in a transparent box. There were six figures standing around the box, watching him inhumanely.
Qiubi did not panic. Instead, he looked at them calmly and shook his head regretfully. "Sorry, none of you have the potential to become a magical girl."
Amethyst: "Hehe."
Fragrance in the Wind: "Is this guy provoking us?"
Yonglin of the Eight Fairies: "He's quite bold."
Alasta: "That's an interesting creature."
Divine Armillary: "I think he's right. After all, we're old."
BB: "Stop it. I'm different from you guys. Even Tang Ritian laughed so hard at the end!"
Tang Hao was laughing so hard that he was about to pass out. Amethyst grabbed Qiubi and tried to find the origin of the Hatchery race from him. The six big bosses stopped to watch, but Qiubi directly said that they couldn't become magical girls. Was he looking down on them because they were too old?
Tang Hao suddenly realized that Qiubi was actually quite funny.
"Xiao Meiyan, Asami, Onara, so you're here." Completely ignoring Amethyst and the other seniors, Qiubi maintained a calm expression. He looked around the crowd and quickly found Xiao Meiyan and the other two standing next to Tang Hao. "I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Qiubi …"
"What's wrong? You all look weird. By the way, who are these people?"
"Even now, you still have the face to ask us what's wrong?!" Ba Asami and Onara had mixed emotions. Before they learned the truth, they had a good impression of Qiubi. Only Xiao Meiyan, who embarked on the path of a magical girl because of Onara, had no feelings for Qiubi from the beginning, was the first to step forward.
"Qiubi, you've been lying to us all this time, haven't you? You tricked us into becoming magical girls and used our despair to fill the gap in the energy of the universe!" Xiao Meiyan gritted her teeth.
"I see. You already know." Qiubi didn't deny it at all. "But I didn't lie to you."
"Now that things have come to this, we already know!"
"But I didn't lie to you. Asami almost died in a car accident. In order to survive, she became a magical girl. Your wish has been fulfilled from the beginning. "
"I …"
"Onara, the kind Onara made a wish to become a magical girl to save the dying kitten. I've fulfilled this wish for you."
"This …"
"And Xiao Meiyan, although I don't know why you became a magical girl, I don't have any relevant information about you in my memory. But since you're a magical girl, your wish must have been fulfilled."
"…"
Xiao Meiyan was speechless. She witnessed the death of Ba Asami and Onara on the Night of the Witch. In order to meet Onara again, she made a wish to Qiubi and started her reincarnation. In this respect, her wish had indeed been fulfilled.
Qiubi didn't lie and had never lied to them.
"But you hid the truth." Tang Hao walked forward and smiled. "The hero who slays the dragon eventually becomes the evil dragon. Once you become a magical girl, you will inevitably fall into a witch. This is the most important point, but you didn't mention it."
"Is that so? But it's also a corresponding sacrifice. For us, it's just a normal equivalent exchange."
"So there's no need to say this."
"Then what do you want? Because I hid the truth, you decided to kill me? It's useless. Although you're strong and I won't be able to escape if you want to kill me, I will never die. "
Qiubi was as calm as ever. What he said was true. The power of the Hatchery came from the Source. The Source gave them eternal existence. Even Amethyst couldn't destroy the Hatchery before she solved the problem of the Source.
In terms of existence, the Hatchery was much stronger than the moon-shaped Wandering Stars.
Because they controlled the Source, in a sense, they coexisted with the world.
"No, you're mistaken. We won't kill you." Amethyst smiled. "If you die, I won't be able to find the Source of your race. So I will ensure your safety."
"The Source of our race …" Qiubi suddenly understood something and looked up at Amethyst. "What do you want?"
"To amend. Just like what you did before, you obtained the Source of the world and thought you could amend the rules of the universe. Now, I want to seize your Source and amend the world. "
"Amend? I see. You're planning to … No, you can't do that. " Qiubi shook his head. His expression did not change, but his tone was anxious. "I know you have this power because I detected the same level of Source in you. But that's why you can't do that. Otherwise, she will wake up."
"Who is she?" BB asked.
"The world. The will that has existed since the birth of the universe." Cupid said in a deep voice, "She has always been in a deep sleep. We have obtained her power and managed the universe in her place. But if she wakes up, she will drain the energy of the entire universe in an instant. At that time, not only will the universe die, but the souls that have disappeared will still be crying in the universe. They will return to the past and return to their hometown. At that time, Earth will welcome the most terrifying Night of the Witch!"
Xiao Yuan was shocked. "You mean, those magical girls who fell into despair and died, they …"
"Yes, they will all return. They are witches formed by countless despairing souls. Their power is unimaginable. Once they return, despair will devour all the living beings on Earth. It will only take ten minutes at most for this planet to be destroyed."
Qiubi seemed to be talking about his own matters, serious and solemn.
Tang Hao knew that what he said was the truth because Qiubi would not lie.
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
The original plan was to capture Qiubi and locate the Hatcheries. Amethyst would seize their Source and cut off their connection with the world. Then, Xiao Meiyan and the other two would make a wish to the Light Jade and use Mooncell's power to reshape human history and rewrite the rules of the universe.
At this point, the mission was basically completed. The next step was to fight against the repercussions. As long as the World Will was prevented from fully awakening, Amethyst would be able to block most of the backlash. Then, Alasta, Divine Insignia, and the others would guard the second floor. Then, all the negative effects would be directed to BB's moon, and the rest would clean up the trash of human history on the moon.
From strong to weak, it would be graded step by step. Although it was a little dangerous, overall it was not a big problem.
However, if there was another Night of the Witch, then it would be completely different.
Apart from Amethyst, was there anyone else who could stop the apocalyptic Night of the Witch?
Divine Insignia was the lord of the Devil Realm, but a Witch who could destroy the world in ten minutes was not someone she could handle.
Alasta … It might be possible if she used her real body, but she was only one of many possibilities. Compared to the apocalyptic Witch, she was still a little weaker. Moreover, the mission Amethyst had given her was extremely important, so she could not be distracted.
"Since we can't destroy it, we can only divert it."
"Divert?" Tang Hao looked at Amethyst in confusion.
"Yes." Amethyst nodded. "Actually, I have a backup plan. It's Little Amethyst. The original plan remains the same. When the Witch's Echo returns, Little Amethyst will divert the Night of the Witch into countless Witches. At the same time, some people will stay on Earth to defend and defeat the Witches one by one."
"But this way …" Tang Hao frowned. There were not enough people on the moon.
They only had a little more than fifty people to begin with. It was already difficult enough to fight against the remnants of human history on the moon. If they had to divert some people to fight against the Witch's Echo on Earth, the worst result would be that they could not take care of both sides, and then … Wait!
Suddenly, Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat.
"If the Night of the Witch is diverted, it means that Witches will appear all over the world. When the Witches who bring despair appear, there will definitely be Witch Girls who bring hope!"
"That's right. There are still Witch Girls on Earth."
Just like what was said at the beginning, they were not fighting alone. There were countless Witch Girls living in various countries and cities around the world. When the war began, they would also become a powerful reinforcement.
"Then, let's divert them."
…
A moment later, Tang Hao brought some people back to Earth. They were Earth's line of defense against the Witches.
After a short but long wait, they looked up at the starry sky and suddenly widened their eyes. In the distant starry sky, a bright light suddenly bloomed, and then, a corner of the universe seemed to be torn down.
"Finally … it has begun!"
At the same time.
China, the United States, France, England, Germany, Russia, Italy … In various countries on Earth, some were in the day, some were in the night. People living in their daily lives did not know what was happening in this world. Those Witch Girls hidden in the crowd were still immersed in their ordinary and warm daily lives. Some of them were in school, some were sleeping, and some were enjoying their holidays with their friends. But —
Just as the Echo in the universe streaked across the starry sky, all the Witch Girls felt it.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Witch Girls raised their heads at the same time and looked at the endless starry sky with their bright eyes.
Then, the long night began.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the Witch Girls.
