Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"This is the last thing she left behind. If it is used to save her most important friend, she must be very happy."

"...Even if you save me now, what's the use?"

As if reacting to a certain part of the golden darkness's words, Madoka Kamu's ears moved, and she turned her head to look at her blankly.

"We will die, everyone will die, so what if there is [Seed of Lamentation]? When all the witches are wiped out and all [Seeds of Lamentation] are exhausted, what should we do? As magical girls, we are doomed There will be a day when the magic power will be exhausted, we magical girls are destined to become witches, and survive in such an ugly posture—”

"Then don't use up your magic power."

The negative self-pity was interrupted coldly, and the golden darkness made a natural sound.

"Don't use magic, stop all fighting, isn't it difficult to do?"

"But how is it possible—"

"Didn't you say that you no longer have the strength to fight?"

Madoka Kame didn't have any time to breathe, as if she was already tired of such meaningless and worthless exchanges, Jin Zhi secretly threw out the conclusion.

"That's it."

There is a solemn wind in the atmosphere, and somewhere thousands of kilometers away from Mitakihara, the revolving fool evokes the cruel madness, and on the eve of the night of Wapujis, he just killed the last person in this floating world with his own hands. A friend's golden killer declared so.

"All—whether it's a fallen magical girl or a witch, leave it all to me alone."

Volume 245: Black Fairy Tales: Chapter 45 Chapter [-] The Floating World Is Over ([-])

This city should have been completely turned into a wasteland...

Walking aimlessly on this piece of ruins that used to be called Mitakihara, there are small and shambling footprints behind him, one foot crushing a broken board that is part of what it used to be, the golden darkness thought so .

The terrifying existence with the name of [Vapkis Night] is considered to be a super crossbow-level large witch that a single magical girl can never defeat. Unlike other witches who hide their bodies in the barrier, they can Visible maliciousness can cause physical damage, and just moving can cause disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes. As long as it materializes, it can trigger super-large hurricanes and produce thousands of victims.

Rather, to defeat such a mobile natural disaster, it is only a small price to pay for sacrificing a city...

Such tired and lazy thoughts turned in his head from time to time, the golden darkness remained silent, and finally stood still in front of a huge body.

Hanging upside down on black gears, the puppet in a dark blue evening dress has no pupils, no nose, and no ears. There is only one mouth open exaggeratedly, exuding jet-black, penetrating malice.

Just standing in front of Him, you can feel as if you are stained by darkness, the faded gray world surrounds you wordlessly, the silent malice is like an invisible giant hand tightly grasping your heart, the indescribable pressure is crazy And squeeze your body and mind recklessly, as if you can hear your soul breaking like fragile glass——

A strange gem rolled to the feet of the golden darkness.

"Night of the Witch..."

Feeling softly with unknown meaning, she bent down and picked it up.

—but he is dead.

Completely dead.

Although it still exudes such a sense of terror that cannot be ignored, it is just a broken skeleton, just a corpse that has lost all signs of life and belongs to the defeated.

The power enough to cause natural disasters was taken lightly, and the expression of the golden darkness did not change at all, as if the battle that wiped out the civilization on the surface of the earth was nothing to her at all. , she calmly looked like a skilled butcher, skillfully cutting open his body with precision.

[Unexpected situation. 】

The golden darkness turned her head, and the exquisite pure white monster crouched not far from her. Seeing her looking over, it looked at her unwaveringly.

[I never thought that you could defeat even Witch Night so easily. With such incredible power, no matter what you want to do, there is nothing on this planet that can stop you, right? 】

"maybe."

Responding indifferently like this, the golden darkness did not deny Chubby's words.

Because it speaks the truth.

To her, this world is just something that can be overturned at will.

The long struggle between magical girls and witches throughout human history, she can end it at any time.

[So I feel very strange. 】

As if wanting to express his doubts, Chubby tilted his head.

[Although I don’t think there is anything wrong with my actions, but what I have done is undoubtedly evil in terms of human values, right? 】

Even if it has no emotions and only acts rationally, it still has a certain understanding of those subjective things after spending so long with humans on earth.

【Why don't you, who possess such power, stop me? 】

"...Because it makes no sense to me to do so."

After a moment of silence, the background was Mitakihara, which had been reduced to wasteland, and the fragmentary remains of the witch. In the extremely oppressive and dignified air, Golden Darkness spit out words coldly.

"This world is boring, until now, I still think so."

She could indeed end all wars in the world, if she got serious.

"But there is a person, a fool who has taken good care of me who has no relatives and no reason for nearly a month. I killed her, I ruined the rest of her life, and I erased the possibility of her future existence."

"So I must inherit her position and will."

If it wasn't for Sayaka Miki, if it wasn't for that hopelessly stupid idiot, even if the world was destroyed in front of her, she wouldn't frown.

【Now, have you fulfilled her last wish? 】

"It should be almost there."

Glancing at the wreckage of Witch Night, the golden dark face nodded expressionlessly.

"To protect her relatives and friends, to protect her justice, I have done everything I can."

[Then what is your next plan?As the guardian of humans and magical girls, will you continue to live so noblely? 】

"No." Without the slightest hesitation, she shook her head decisively and denied, "Only this, I refuse."

【yes? 】

"Ah."

……

A long silence followed.

The hurricane and rainstorm brought by the witch's night gradually subsided, and the sun peeked out from a corner of the cloud to peek at this withered city.It seemed that they realized that the torrential rain had subsided. Thanks to the government’s timely typhoon warning, the people who escaped from the disaster slowly crawled out of their underground shelters. While marveling at the damage caused by the typhoon, they sighed and planned to rebuild their homes.

The Golden Darkness silently observed this world that had returned to daily life.

"... Kewpie."

【I am here. 】

"Let's sign a contract."

【learn. 】

He wasn't surprised by her decision, rather, Chubby would be surprised if she didn't do it.

Because for her, the floating world is over.

【Then, girl, please tell me your wish.Tell me, what wish do you want to light up your soul gem? 】

"I want……"

Standing in front of Chubby, without the slightest nostalgia or hesitation, the golden darkness expressed the long-cherished wish that had been brewing in his heart long before this day.

"I want to transcend this universe, transcend the shackles of time and space, and meet that person, the only love in my life, Kanzaki H. Aria."

"Can you realize this wish?"

【Beyond this universe? 】

The hesitation was only for a moment, and the next moment, Chubby gave an affirmative answer.

【no problem. 】

The moment Chubby answered, a strange, invisible substance detached from her body, and the pain that seemed to tear apart the soul and flesh pierced through her brain. Something was rushing in the blood vessels, something Something is gushing, some beast is trying to break free from the shackles of this flesh.

Enduring this discomfort, the golden darkness looked at his chest indifferently.

The dark golden light, which completely violated the optical nature, condensed into a strange and mysterious gem on her chest.

[Here, the contract is established.Your desire - overrides entropy.You should feel it right now?The contract gives you power. 】

The overflowing light attracted the attention of passers-by around, but at this moment, Qiubi didn't care about such trivial matters at all.

[But I must remind you. 】

[Following the principle of equivalent exchange, you will pay as much as you get. The next moment you use this power to realize your wish, there is a great possibility that you will directly become a witch. 】

It is said that there is a great possibility, but in fact it is infinitely close to 100%.

[Even so, do you want to use this power? 】

"……what."

The golden darkness stretched out her hand and grabbed the soul gem that belonged to her.

"Boring question."

[Is it really okay?It was hell there. 】

"Do you think……"

From the gap between her fingers, a bright and sad light overflowed.

"What kind of consciousness do I have to stand here?"

Volume 246: Black Fairy Tales: Chapter 46 Chapter [-] Sisyphus ([-])

It's a very strange feeling.

Consciousness rises to a detached dimension along a certain [axis] independent of time and space.Looking down from this dimension, what you see is not your own feet, but sheets of [membranes].

The foundation of the world is the [string], a small section of energy string that is constantly shaking constitutes the four fundamental particles that dominate the origin and the future, and the universe is just a thin [membrane], relying on the parallel [string] 【membrane】.

The two [cosmic membranes] that were originally irrelevant and spread in parallel were eroded by some clever external force to open a small hole, and the [strings] that escaped from the tension of the world rested on the [axis] and started to evolve again.

That is the consciousness of the golden darkness, or the soul of the golden darkness.

Losing her own form, she looked around this huge [net] blankly, and the complicated and huge information poured into the sea of ​​consciousness of "her" through "her" observation.

You should be lucky at this time... Fortunately, "she" has lost her eyes and brain limited to three dimensions, otherwise, just this information flow can wash away all of "her" subjective consciousness and assimilate "her" into In this great tapestry of creation.

"Ari, Ya."

"She" murmured with difficulty, those three words engraved deep in the soul of "her".

It seems to be eternity, and it seems to be just a moment.

When "she" came back to her senses, the familiar street was already in front of her eyes.

London, England.

……

Really, achieved.

She had thought that there was no hope for her sad wish.

Like a melting glacier, she had a clear and bright smile on her face, and the golden darkness jumped and galloped across the roofs.

She's back, back here, where their story began.

The clear spot of light hit her face, wrapped in warm sunlight, the golden darkness unconsciously narrowed her eyes: Holmes' mansion was at the end of her field of vision.

The servants of the Holmes family were dutifully stationed in front of the iron gate outside the courtyard. If it was normal, she might have followed the most basic etiquette and asked the servants to report, and then waited quietly outside.If she did this, maybe she could still see Aria rushing out in a hurry, looking around in a panic, and finally found her figure, with an unconcealable joy on her face, throwing herself into her arms like a young swallow returning to its nest. inside.

But doing so is simply too slow.

She wanted to see Aria, wanted to see her right away, not even a second.

Turning over an outer wall on the edge of the courtyard, and not caring whether he was seen by people or cameras, the golden darkness ran towards the boudoir where Aria was in the impression.

……

……

Meloette, who was originally enjoying the rare sunshine even in the fog, fell into deep thought looking at the lawn with obvious trampling marks.

The old housekeeper who was trimming the flower beds in the courtyard stopped his work and bowed respectfully to the intended master of the Holmes family

"Second miss."
