Chapter 626 YHWH
The banks of the holidays are peaceful.

The cumulonimbus clouds in early summer are layered on the horizon in the distance, and occasionally a cool wind blows through, lifting the hair of a girl with long black straight hair.Seeing that the brand-new streets of Takihara City are lined up neatly, today is so peaceful, tranquil, and warm——

The cool river wind rushed towards her face, she sat alone on the embankment with green grass fluttering in the wind, watching a certain family tirelessly.

It was a young couple and a young boy.

The little boy sat on the ground, doodling something intently, while his parents squinted and looked into the distance.

After a while, a calm voice came from behind her: "Aren't you going to go and have a look? Or at least say something to them?"

"..."

"..."

"That's really troublesome for you! It's completely nosy..." Xiao Meiyan bit her lip and retorted, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and held the skirt of her uniform tightly.

The girl didn't look back, but she knew who it was.

"It's really strange. This should be the second time we've met, right? But you seem to hate me?" Mu Xiu stood on the embankment behind the girl and said in an exceptionally clear voice. "Or is it because of the wish that the girl made?"

"...What does this have to do with you?"

After hearing this, the girl with long black straight hair slowly turned her head, looking at the other party with the same cold eyes as before, her long hair fluttering in the wind——

"You, who can do such a cruel thing, don't agree with human values ​​at all. You don't even think it's a cruel thing at all."

It's been a long time since that nightmarish disaster—

For Mitakihara City, which was once devastated, today is just a day when the former prosperity began to recover.

However, the girl still felt that everything was vivid in her mind. Regarding what happened that night, it was the guy in front of her who was in charge of all karma and agreed to the wish that Madoka made.

That was the heaviest blow to her, an unforgettable pain.The difference between the other party and Qiubi seems to be that he has no purpose, does not need to be paid, and can do anything.

However, after all, it is still impossible for human values ​​to be common to each other.

He could exchange miracles, but it wasn't without cost, and he wouldn't feel that kind of thing was cruel.

Thinking of her best friend disappearing into this world that night, Akami Homura felt deep despair filling her chest and soul gem.

"A miracle is something that can't be compensated by life, so the impossible can be made possible." Mu Xiu smiled disapprovingly, "And isn't that what the girl wanted to do?"

"But it's not worth it at all!"

The black long straight girl couldn't help shouting out.

"Carrying those tragic causes and effects, it has become a simple concept. The proof of existence in this world will disappear from all places together with the memory, leaving nothing..."

"This is Madoka's expected ending? Is such a result worthy of her?" She murmured in a trembling voice. "Stop joking! Isn't this worse than death..."

"..."

"..."

Mu Xiu pondered for a while, and then said softly: "Wish, and the efforts made for it, are very important—it definitely has its value."

Then, he turned his head to look at the layers of cumulonimbus clouds on the distant horizon and squinted his eyes.

"This is indeed her own wish. It is based on her own thinking, will, and final decision. Others should not interfere... And those karma from the parallel world are tied to her by you."

"...But, it's obvious that she can sacrifice without her... That's why I hate myself even more!"

Akami Homura seemed to be getting more sad, she looked away from the other person, as if looking at somewhere far away.

Mu Xiu looked at the soul gem that she wore on her middle finger and turned into a ring, and after thinking about it, she said again: "I'm ready to leave, is there anything else you want to do?"

"Is this the beginning of your plan to become a new generation of Kewpies?" the girl said sarcastically, "Then can you return Madoka to me?"

"Yes." Mu Xiu replied naturally.

It's just that before the girl could speak, he continued to talk on his own: "It's just that, it's like you have a guest at your house, and when she goes back, you keep sending her back to her house, and when you come back She also sent you back to your home all the time..."

This is the price that a miracle should have. Madoka Kame sacrificed her own existence in order to achieve the principle of the circle. Only Homura can save her by making a wish at this time.

However, in that case, Homura will be the one who pays the price, and Madoka Kame, who was rescued, will inevitably repeat this cycle of reincarnation... If this happens, everything will be meaningless.

"If this is the case, isn't it completely meaningless? If a miracle requires a price, what kind of miracle is it?"

Xiao Meiyan said coldly.

Mu Xiu smiled indifferently: "I think so too, but now I can't achieve that level of desire without cost. If I can really do everything, then I don't care. Mind helping you out."

"The me now is not complete. If I take the last step rashly, I will only lose myself completely. Even if I am omniscient, it is impossible to have the idea of ​​helping you at that time."

After thinking about it, he added with a regretful face, explaining this way.

Xiao Meiyan didn't understand what he was talking about, but it was clear that this person could exchange miracles, but there was no way not to pay the price or to pay the price on his behalf.

Just at this time--

"... Madoka, Madoka."

In the family not far away, the young boy seemed to have completed the graffiti painting, put down the brush, pointed at the pattern on the painting and cried out.

That is an ordinary child living in a happy and warm world.

I don't know anything about how I was protected in this world, and I didn't realize it—I just lived a peaceful life surrounded by leisurely troubles every day.

"..."

"..."

The girl also stood up at this time, no longer saying a word to the people behind her, she patted the skirt of the uniform, and walked slowly over with her schoolbag.

Mu Xiu stayed on the spot alone, watching her back, and then seemed to be a little dumbfounded.He raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes became deep and distant.

One end of the rapidly floating clouds revealed the clear blue sky.

A deep blue that seems to penetrate everything.

A world without any worries.

Looking at the pleasant world in the distance, he sighed softly, but his thoughts flew back to that white snowy night not long ago.

……

……

A snowy day of silence.

There was no one to be seen on the streets of Guanbuzi City, only the light from the street lamps resisting the curtain of snow.

Even at night, the white crystals are still falling, the streets are as dead as an ice age, and the snowfall is so cold that it seems to freeze the seasons.

"I really didn't expect that you would come here."

The girl named "Two Ceremonies" greeted Mu Xiu as usual with a somewhat indifferent tone.

"Did Shi fall asleep?" Mu Xiu, who had been watching the long night, sighed, and then asked so softly.

"Yeah, it's just me and you now." She smiled sweetly, "It's all because of you. If it wasn't for what you said that made her feel so bad, I wouldn't have woken up."

She put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes.

"It's just that some things can't be fooled after all, and they need to be faced sooner or later." Mu Xiu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed again.

"No matter how the rose is planted, it will still grow roses. Even if the soil and water content of the breeding are changed, it will not grow into other flowers."

She laughed softly.

"No matter how much you lack self-awareness, even if you become a completely different person like rebirth, the essence you have will not change."

"...Maybe." Mu Xiu was a little noncommittal.

"Don't act so relaxed, can you really give up everything so freely?"

"Two rituals" said in a gentle tone, and seeing the other party's head tilted in thought, she couldn't help laughing.

In this way, the two talked about some small things in this snowy night.

He talked as usual, and she listened to him happily. The relationship between the two of them and the relationship they had always had seemed to have not changed a bit.

The girl is really happy, because she knows what it means to meet again.

Unlike the last time when I went to the door, but the other party rejected me, this time the other party came back instead, which means... What does it mean?

Even if she doesn't deliberately read the future, she can guess how it will unfold.

So she was also answering the questions that Mu Xiu asked one by one, very patiently.

"Do you feel puzzled? But this is your only chance. If you are really sanctified, then you will never come to this world again, and all past connections will be cut off."

The pupils of the girl in the pure white kimono are transparent, and there is endless depth in them, as if she can see the lack of humanity in the pupils deep in the heart.

"This is also the ending she wants to see. As long as you reach the state of consummation through making up as she wishes, and then make a wish to her to obtain the holy throne, then everything will be as she wishes."

The "she" mentioned in "Two Ceremonies", Mu Xiu naturally knew who he was referring to.

After thinking about it for a long time, he asked with some doubts, "Is there any difference?"

"It's very simple. According to what you are used to saying, the first stage of liberating the restricted area of ​​life is the fighting instinct, the second stage is the body of the beast, the third stage is the thinking hall, and the fourth stage is the light of destruction..."

The girl thought for a while, then nodded.

"The fifth stage is the real taboo field. From this stage, you will be forced to leave the ordinary material world and go to the mythical dimension... because your existence will wrestle with the restraining force, and the final result is often the universe. destroy."

"Just like you entered the paradise where she lives, that world is independent of the outside of time and space, isolating the cause and effect of all other worlds, and can only be entered through the beacon set on the material plane..."

"In the same way, the world I live in is the same. You can only follow the connection through a specific cause and effect. If you have become a real taboo before you arrive, then you will basically lose the reason to come here." Possibility."

Mu Xiu nodded with some understanding: "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand... What's the point of her doing this."

"Of course it is to reach the true original..." The innocent eyes of "Two Ceremonies" showed a smile, "It is higher than the taboo field, the highest state from relative meaning to absolute meaning..."

"The sixth stage, that is—the will of heaven on the other side?" Mu Xiu frowned. "Who is she who can pursue that level of existence?"

"Isn't it obvious?" She stared at him, continued in a restless voice, and spat out a name.

"—YHWH."
