Chapter 54: Shaking all worlds! The savior magical girl! No matter how many times, I WILL SAVE YOU!!!
『 How complicated must Homura Akemi's feelings be, coming back to life and seeing Madoka Kaname again?
Joy, excitement, happiness—
"My name is Homura Akemi, please take care of me," the girl's voice was strong and clear. Before the teacher could finish introducing her, Homura Akemi firmly clasped Madoka Kaname's hands.
The girl's words were astonishing, "Kaname-san, I've also become a magical girl! Let's work hard together from now on!"
Huh...?
"Um..." Stared at by the girl's fervent eyes, Madoka Kaname looked left and right, her eyes swirling into spirals, blushing and at a loss for what to do. 』

[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "Girl, you're blushing... damn it~!" ]
[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "Third time's the charm, once again, defying the heavens." ]
[ Li Huowang (Dao of the Bizarre Immortal): "I've been reborn, reborn into... huh? Where have I been reborn? Oh, Daoist me has been reborn into a mental hospital!" ]
[ Zuowang Dao (Dao of the Bizarre Immortal): "Hahahahaha, Boss Hong Zhong is so amusing!" ]
[ Yukari Yakumo (Touhou): "This child is still as cute as ever~ but her physical condition is much better than last time." ]
[ Tatsumi (Akame Ga Kill): "Does becoming a magical girl also strengthen your physique accordingly?" ]
[ Ruby (Type-Moon): "Of course. Although I don't want to talk about Kyubey, besides witches and collecting energy, the magical girls in this world are truly a bit too perfect." ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "How many times do you think this child can reincarnate?" ]
[ Tobirama Senju (Naruto): "Three times, I'd say. Time travel seems powerful, but it's like a forbidden jutsu; each use brings an incredibly terrifying physical and mental burden." ]
[ Uzumaki Naruto (Naruto): "Damn it! Don't underestimate the bond between Madoka and them!" ]
[ Tobirama Senju (Naruto): "...? You, of the inherently evil Uzumaki clan, dare to insult this old man? Could you be an accomplice of the inherently evil Uchiha!" ]
[ Hashirama Senju (Naruto): "Alright, Tobirama, cool it." ]

〜The Disastrous Life of Saiki K World〜
"Time reversal? No, it's not time reversal, but rather the creation of a new timeline?"
The pink-haired, green-eyed boy, dressed strangely, pondered.
If it were time reversal, the amount of causality shouldn't have increased so much.
If you were to ask why he was so skilled, Saiki Kusuo could only say that he had reversed the entire world's time four times; how could he not know?
"Forget it, it's none of my business, and time reversal is too troublesome. I probably won't use it again in the future..."
Saiki Kusuo shook his head. Before he could finish his sentence, he turned a corner and found love.
It was Kokomi Teruhashi, the one he always wanted to make say "Oh!"
Without any hesitation,
"Time Reversal!"

〜Demon Slayer World〜
"Another monster...! Why is there such a bizarre ability!"
Muzan, in her female form, slumped exhausted in the Infinity Castle.
She had thought that the most bizarre Blood Demon Art in this world was space manipulation, but now someone could travel to the past and even stop time.
If she also possessed such an ability... she could definitely save Tsugikuni Yoriichi's wife and child before they were killed!
And make that damned demon understand the value of life!
Muzan fiercely clenched her pale little fists.
Wait?! Shouldn't she have stifled Tsugikuni Yoriichi in the womb earlier?!
Muzan, realizing this belatedly, felt her back drenched in cold sweat... What... what was happening to her?!
—
『 Through experimentation, Mami-senpai and Madoka also learned that Homura's ability was time stop.
Although it was powerful, its usage had a slight problem, for example, Homura stopping time while holding a golf club.
After some discussion, the girls decided to combine time stop with firearms, and this idea was also recognized by everyone during the witch hunt.
"We succeeded~ That's amazing, Homura-chan~" Madoka hugged Homura, her small face rubbing against hers repeatedly.
"Well done," Mami Tomoe-senpai also enjoyed this moment of happiness. 』

[ Jibril (No game, No life): "Subarashi~! Homura, you are truly wonderful!" ]
[ Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "...Unlimited time stop?! No, not unlimited, just too short a limit! Girl! ZA WARUDO without a road roller is soulless!" ]
[ Deidara (Naruto): "Idiot, what do you know! This girl has perfectly grasped the essence that explosion is art! But next time, remember that real women never look back at explosions." ]
[ Sougo Tokiwa (Kamen Rider): "Although magical girls are cool, the coolest is still Oma Zi-O! The most benevolent, most compassionate, most supreme, and most powerful Demon King!" ]
[ Riku (No game, No life): "If Schwi could learn this move, it would be a decisive blow!" ]
[ Mami Tomoe (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "As expected, Homura is the most talented among us." ]
[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "That's good. Perhaps Homura can really change everything with time magic." ]
[ Sapphire (Type-Moon): "Ehehe, the second loop is so heartwarming It feels like a good start~" ]
[ Gilgamesh (Type-Moon): "Hmph hahahahaha! Are these fools still holding onto hope! So-called magical girls are tragic existences from the very beginning; despair is their only destination!" ]
[ .....]
『 The sky cleared, and a light drizzle fell on the girl's tender, pale... twisted, hideous face.
Walpurgisnacht was defeated again, but this time Madoka and Homura survived.
"What's wrong, Kaname-san, pull yourself together!" Homura knelt beside Madoka, anxiously asking as she watched the suffering Madoka.
Crack— A shattering sound made Homura freeze. Madoka's Soul Gem actually... shattered!
An ominous and despairing aura, as thick as ink, burst forth from the black Soul Gem, piercing through this world!
The entire world began to distort; the already clear sky gradually transformed into the most despairing darkness.
Beneath that black curtain, all life trembled!
"What... why is this happening...?!" Tears streamed down Homura's cheeks, and endless despair and sorrow flooded her heart.
That overwhelming despair was... born from Madoka?!!
What was the truth about magical girls after all?!!
Dead comrades, a despairing world, light buried in despair...
Crack— Clock hands turned.
Time—Space—Causality—Destiny.
Gears twisted, time shifted, countless lines twisted and swirled, once again—
Third Loop Begins— 』

[ Tezcatlipoca (Type-Moon): "Witches are magical girls. This interesting setting, no matter how many times I see it, still sends chills down my spine. Truly worthy of you, you born Kyubey-chan~" ]
[ Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan): "The second time still couldn't change the tragic ending..." ]
[ Jogo (Jujutsu Kaisen): "So magical girls are inherently embodiments of hope and despair." ]
[ Sonozaki Shion (Higurashi no naku): "Hope and despair are two sides of the same coin. We yearn for hope but never consider despair." ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "Has no one noticed the witch Madoka transformed into~ The Witch of Salvation, that despair born from a girl's hope, truly subarashi." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Actually, the talent Kyubey spoke of wasn't for being a magical girl, but Madoka's witch talent, ehe~" ]
[ Lumine (Genshin Impact): "Emergency food, shut up!" ]
[ Othinus (A Certain Magical Index): "Confused girls caught in a loop, your destination is already set. Stop with your futile resistance." ]
[ Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "Homura will definitely tell us this information in the third loop! We can come up with a countermeasure." ]
[ Okabe Rintaro (Steins;Gate): "The convergence of the world is... well, if you don't believe it, just watch." ]

〜Attack On Titan World〜
"Even... I can't find out who the enemy is. What should magical girls do?"
Eren stared blankly at the screen, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness for Madoka and the others.
The enemies of magical girls are witches, and witches are the future of magical girls.
So what should they do...?
Witches cannot be ended, so magical girls must exist. If magical girls exist, then witches will always exist.
It was... a cycle of death.

〜Puella Magi Madoka Magica World〜
"As expected of Madoka, the despair she gave birth to created such a terrifying witch, truly the most evil witch in history."
"A rough estimate is that she could destroy the Earth in less than ten days,"
Kyubey praised sincerely.
Bang—
What greeted Kyubey was a heavily smashed wooden chair.
—
『 A familiar ceiling—
Homura, knowing the truth about magical girls, immediately decided to tell everyone the news!
Everyone had been deceived by Kyubey!
"I mean, what good would it do Kyubey to tell such lies?" Sayaka looked at Homura unpleasantly.
She even spoke harshly, "Trying to tell us strange things to sow discord? Could it be that you're actually the same as that girl named Kyouko?"
Even Madoka tried to mediate, but she clearly didn't believe Homura either.
Sayaka's cold stare, Mami-senpai's silent demeanor, Madoka's dilemma.
Suspicion, distrust, being misunderstood, even being disliked due to her unpracticed abilities.
Homura didn't bring up the matter again, instead silently preparing more powerful weapons.
But there was a hint of loneliness and pain in the girl's eyes. 』

[ Aizen (Bleach): "Humans will never truly understand each other." ]
[ Kirei Kotomine (Type-Moon): "Jealousy, suspicion, hatred... Lord, look at this world, but... why is it so satisfying!" ]
[ Gilgamesh (Type-Moon): "Hmph hahahahaha! Interesting! The's farce is too amusing! My abs are going to split from laughter!" ]
[ Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan) "If it were really useful, Homura Akemi would have told you every time. It's you who chose not to believe Homura Akemi." ]
[ Sayaka Miki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "I... Kyubey! Why didn't you say anything!" ]
[ Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): "If you ask me, I will tell you. The reason I didn't say anything is simply because it wasn't necessary, wouldn't it be a waste of everyone's energy?" ]
[ Siduri (Type-Moon): "Even with control over time, there is still unchangeable pain." ]

〜Puella Magi Madoka Magica World〜
"Being so suspicious of Homura... that's too much!"
Madoka cried, watching Homura explain repeatedly, only to be doubted again and again.
Even... she herself had been constantly trying to smooth things over!
On the other side...
"How could I say such things...!"
Sayaka's heart ached.
Watching Homura save them again and again, and then seeing what she had done...
"What kind of justice am I?"
Sayaka pounded her head heavily.
"That child, carrying such despair, still wanted to save us... No, was it Madoka?"
Mami's face could no longer maintain its strong facade.
What kind of reliable senpai was she...?

〜KonoSuba World〜
"Eh? If you don't believe it, why not just record it on your phone?"
Aqua tilted her head.
Megumin and Darkness didn't know what a phone was, and Kazuma's vision went black; he fainted on the spot.
Aqua, you're a mad genius (idiot).

『 To better fight alongside everyone, Homura Akemi decided to stop time and then raid all the gangs and police stations.
The weapons would be stored in the shield's space.
But the accident still came early: Sayaka, unable to accept being cheated on, transformed into a witch.
Although she was eventually defeated, Mami-senpai, unable to accept this fact, went mad. She directly killed Kyouko, then turned her blade on Homura, but in the end, Madoka chose to kill Mami-senpai, saving Homura.
The two promised to confront Walpurgisnacht together! They would never give up hope! 』
『 .....』
〜So I'm a Spider, So What? World〜
Love... no, a love-struck brain is truly terrifying.
The spider, devouring food wildly, felt a surge of fear. Sayaka was cheated on, and then her sense of justice couldn't be maintained, so she turned into a witch.
Although she would eventually become a witch, Sayaka's actions somewhat bothered the spider, who was also female.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The crowd watched the increasingly absurd drama, becoming even more expectant.
Although there were more magical girls this time, in the end, only Madoka and Homura faced Walpurgisnacht. Would Homura Akemi in the third loop change the future?
—
『 The sky cleared. On the scarred land, two girls lay on the ground.
Tattered clothes, wounds covering their bodies, and their Soul Gems stained black with corruption...
"We're finished too," Madoka said weakly.
"Grief Seed..." Homura asked softly.
A light drizzle fell on the girl's face. Madoka shook her head.
"Is that so..." Homura sighed softly, blood on her lips, gazing at the sky that was about to brighten.
The sunlight seemed ready to pierce through the heavy clouds and sweep across the earth at any moment.
But... it was too late.
"Hey, let's just turn into monsters together, mess up everything in this world, until all those sad, hateful things..."
"Destroy them all as if they never happened, destroy, destroy, keep destroying. Don't you think that would be good too?" Homura cried.
Tears and rain mingled as they streamed down her face.
Enough, it was enough.
The girl who had endured three cycles of despair no longer held illusions for herself; let it all be destroyed, the despair in her heart gradually spreading.
But at that moment, a crisp clinking sound rang out.
Homura watched in disbelief as her Soul Gem was purified by a Grief Seed!
"I was just kidding, I still have one left," Madoka said with a smile on her pale face.
It was... Sayaka's Grief Seed.
"Why, why are you giving it to me!" Homura cried out in sorrow.
"Because I want to ask Homura to do something I can't, but Homura can," the black Soul Gem gradually became brilliant.
Meanwhile, Madoka's Soul Gem grew increasingly dark.
"Homura, you can go back in time, right? You said you could change history so this ending wouldn't happen, right?"
"Can you go save the foolish me who hasn't been deceived by Kyubey yet?" Madoka pleaded, her voice choked with tears.
Tears streamed down her eyes; she was smiling... but that deep sense of despair made Homura feel as if she had fallen into an abyss.
"I promise you! I will definitely save you!"
"No matter how many times it repeats! I will definitely protect you!"
"That's good."
The escaping despair made Madoka cry out in pain. Madoka endured the suffering, weakly pleading, "I don't want to become a witch... I don't want to destroy this world, I still have so many things I want to protect."
"Madoka!"
"Homura... you finally called me by my name, I'm so happy..." Madoka tremblingly held up her Soul Gem.
"Ah... Aahhhhh!!!" In a hoarse cry of pain, Homura personally shattered Madoka's Soul Gem—
What remained in the girl's eyes was... an eternal, indelible despair and emptiness.
Time—Space—Causality—Destiny.
Gears twisted, time shifted, countless lines twisted and swirled, once again—
Fourth Loop Begins— 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Countless viewers fell into deep silence.
So that's it. No wonder Homura Akemi's eyes held such deep emptiness and despair; she had experienced such things...
And this time, the fourth loop should be the starting point of what they first watched!
Everyone affirmed this.
