Connecting the heavens from the principle of the circle

It was also me who, under Homura's suggestion, formed the "League of the Circle of Principles". With me as the center, I connected all the known settlements together, explored the wilderness together, and faced the unknown dangers hidden in the wilderness together.

In the settlement of "Steins' Gate", I am the fierce guest of the leader Phoenix Court, that gentle uncle, although he does not have the sense of responsibility to save everyone, but he is really a good person, and he is willing to use his own power , Do everything in your power to save those in distress who appear in your field of vision.

In the settlement of "Anzi Urgon", I am the old friend of the leader Momonga, that good-natured old man. Sometimes, I can't help but sympathize with him. He is obviously the strongest in the settlement and also the highest. The leader, but the partners around him have more personalities than the other, and conflicts break out every day, which makes him rack his brains to coordinate.

This is not the worst, the worst is the most capable people under Uncle Flying Squirrel, who clearly call themselves guardians, but for some reason, everyone has problems in their brains, no matter what Uncle Flying Squirrel says or does, this group of people can forcibly extract a bunch of deep meanings that don't exist at all, and these deep meanings always tend to be dark and cruel.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Momonga has a good-natured personality, seeing the expressions of his subordinates, "I understand what Mr. Momonga means, as long as you can praise me a little bit, Mr. Momonga, it will be my greatest reward", so he couldn't bear to point out the fallacies of this group of people.

Before I visited "Ainz Ooal Gon", because of this funny misunderstanding, ordinary people there had a hard time for a long time.

Fortunately, I used my fist to communicate with the group of guardians with problematic brains, and told them to be more responsible in the future, and to do what Uncle Momonga asked them to do honestly, and don't always guess the meaning of it without authorization. , After I went to beat Uncle Momonga and his friends, these people finally became honest, and now the ordinary people of "Ainzi Oool Gong" finally lived a pretty good life.

As for using the good-natured Uncle Momonga as a "hostage", I'm actually very embarrassed.But there is no way around that. Those guardians are not afraid of death at all, and it is useless to threaten them directly. They only see Uncle Momonga and his friends called "Supreme".

Alas, the guardian of "Ainz Urgon" has a problem with his brain, but it can be solved. It would be great if Enoshima Dunko of "Rule of the Ring" can communicate so well.The well-organized girl who is obviously capable and can take care of the "circle theory" has problems in her head that are really troublesome.

I don't know what kind of growth environment it is that distorts Enoshima Junko's spirit like that. Before I met her, I never knew that someone would actively pursue despair.

Fortunately, I used myself as a bait to catch Enoshima Dunko. Although I don't know why, as long as I treat her gently, she will shout "This is the supreme despair, so delicious, so intoxicating", but I think, as long as I am here, she should not do anything to ordinary people.

Forget it, don't want to worry about these annoying things, let's continue to replay.

During these days, besides "Ainz Oool Gon" and "Steins Gate", I found a few settlements of survivors in the wilderness.

Among them, the leader of "Hogwarts" is a foreign grandfather named Albus Dumbledore with a white beard. He is really an amazing person. As a magical girl, my ability to master magic seems to be innate.

Although the magic ability developed by Grandpa Dumbledore is still relatively basic and cannot be used to fight magic zombies, but I believe that as long as he is given time, he will be able to develop more and stronger magic.

The hope of mankind to counterattack the magic zombies may fall on Grandpa Dumbledore.

Moreover, Grandpa Dumbledore not only has outstanding abilities, but also has a super good personality. I just said that I envy ordinary people in "Hogwarts" who have the opportunity to learn magic. He was super generous and lent me Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Hermione Granger as teachers.

It is said that these three people are among the young people in "Hogwarts", one of the few people with the highest level of magic. With their selfless knowledge of magic imparted in "Theory of the Circle", the "Theory of the Circle" must be very fast. Maybe there will be more magicians.

However, it is a little strange to hear that Malfoy's teacher is not Grandpa Dumbledore, but another old gentleman whose talent is not inferior to Grandpa Dumbledore's at all.

It's a pity that the old gentleman seems to be a research fanatic. I have visited "Hogwarts" many times, but I haven't been able to meet him. Otherwise, I really want to get to know such a genius.

Outside of "Hogwarts", in my opinion, the most peculiar settlement should be "Fantasy Township".

The leader of "Fantasy Township" is a big sister named Yakumo Zi. Although she has a good personality, she is actually a weird person. She obviously looks less than 20 years old, but for some reason, she is super taboo to be mentioned by others Whoever dares to speak up is in a hurry with whoever is younger.

I remember that before the disaster broke out, when my cousin came to play at home, she would always talk to my mother about such heavy topics as hate and marriage. Could it be that sister Yakumozi also had this trouble?Is this a bit too early for Sister Yakumo Zi?

Well, maybe, there is a tradition of this in the place where Sister Yakumo Zi lives?Sister Kazami Yuka and Sister Yayi Yonglin seem to have the same taboo. They get angry whenever their age is mentioned. However, they are also kind and good people, especially Sister Kazami Yuka, who has a super handsome personality. If I grow up It would be nice to be that kind of person.

Speaking of "Fantasy Township", unlike "Hogwarts" which studies magic technology, the people of "Fantasy Township" used another method to give ordinary people a way to master power, which is zombie infection.It is said that sister Yakumo Zi invented the method of transforming the magic zombie virus in the first place, and she is still perfecting this technology step by step.

After humans are infected with the zombie virus transformed with this technology, they will initially become weirder than magical zombies, not like human monsters at all, and their intelligence will also become very low, and it will take a certain amount of money later. After training and education over time, the special infected people gradually mastered the magic power in their bodies before they could return to human form again.

Due to the difference in talent, some special infected people can eventually completely change back to human form, but when some people change back to human form, due to improper magic power, they retain some characteristics of the inhuman period.

Perhaps it is because there are too many special infected people with inhuman characteristics left on them, and the people around them always reject these people vaguely because of this. Gradually, there is a gap between ordinary people and these special infected people. The contradictions that are difficult to adjust, in the end these special infected people no longer even recognize their human identity.

I don't know whether these special infected people abandoned humans or were abandoned by humans. They even disdain to use titles related to humans such as "new humans". According to folklore, they call themselves monsters.

And those infected who can fully recover their human form after infection, and can't see any inhuman features on their body, the reason why they can fully recover their human form is because they have stronger control over the magic power in their bodies. Of course, their strength is also stronger than those Monsters with remaining inhuman features are stronger.

Therefore, the monsters called Yakumo Zi and Kazami Yuka, who are indistinguishable from humans in appearance, respectfully called big monsters.

Although sister Yakumo Zi was honored as the "monster sage" and became the leader of "Gensokyo" because of her development of monster manufacturing technology, in fact, perhaps because of the infection of the magic zombie virus, these infected people have more personalities. Compared with ordinary people, they are more irritable and respect the concept of strength.

Therefore, the major decisions in "Gensokyo" have always been discussed and decided by the big monsters, not Yakumo Zi's sister.

However, because the other big monsters don't seem to care much about things that have nothing to do with him, so as long as it doesn't involve trivial matters involving big monsters, sister Yakumo Zi basically has the final say.

When I first came into contact with Gensokyo, I unilaterally believed that the "monsters" were squeezed out by ordinary people, and even refused to admit their human identity because of this. I had some sympathy for them and wanted to persuade them to leave "Gensokyo".

I believe that no matter whether it is the "Theory of the Circle", "Ainzi Urgon", or even the people in "Hogwarts", they will not care about the characteristics that ordinary people do not have in them. self-proclaimed identity.

But who would have thought that my shallow kindness caused quite a commotion in "Gensokyo". Almost all the monsters had already given up the idea of ​​turning back into humans, and they were even unwilling to have contact with humans. My proposal was understood by these monsters. In order to force them, they did not hesitate to resort to violent confrontation to express their attitude.

During that riot, the monsters didn't listen to my explanation at all. Many people wanted to drive me away even if they burned their lives. Fortunately, sister Kazami Youxiang was nearby at that time. She had a very high prestige among the monsters.

Afterwards, Sister Yakumozi explained to me that the title of "monster" is the biggest insistence of the monsters. If they are asked to abandon their identity as monsters and integrate into humans, even if they do so, they will get great benefits, and they can get the title of "circle". They will never accept the asylum of the Management Alliance.

"Ghosts are already a completely different race from humans. Whether we should accept us like this, or whether we should include 'Gensokyo' into the 'League of the Circle', I hope Madoka will think carefully before making a decision." Decide."

Sister Yakumozi who said this had a serious expression on her face that I had never seen before. I have to admit that I was completely taken aback at the time. Looking back afterwards, I realized that Sister Yakumozi’s attitude might not be described as just serious, but more precisely, “death-minded”.

Obviously a person who is usually so kind and loves to laugh, but because of this problem, he showed such an attitude. At the very beginning, I was completely confused.

Are monsters already a race other than humans?

If I respect their wishes and admit their inhuman status, then how should I face them?

I have the ambition to save everyone, so monsters who are not human should be the ones I save and protect?

When confused, people are always accustomed to seek help from wise men, and I am no exception.

I visited Grandpa Dumbledore, discussed with Homura who was working overtime, and told him regardless of the troublesome expression of Uncle Phoenix Academy, and even took a certain risk to ask Enoshima Dunko for his opinion. I've asked Homura's mysterious secretary, Zhao Hun.

However, in this matter, the wise men who are usually very reliable, no matter who they are, are unwilling to give me advice.

Everyone says that I am the helm of the "League of the Circle of Law", and I am the one who, in the wilderness where no one knows what dangers lurk, with my love for human beings, I have separated the "inhabited areas" one by one from each other. "The "extreme human" connected in series, this kind of decision-making involving human and non-human issues, must be decided by myself.

Everyone's expectations were on my shoulders, and the heavy pressure made me feel suffocated. I was just an ordinary girl. Before the disaster broke out, I couldn't even get a perfect score in the exam, just because It was by accident that he obtained the power far surpassing all others.

Now, because of this power, everyone has placed me in a very high position, asking me to decide the future of mankind.

The moment I realized what people expected from me, even in the face of death, I could deal with it calmly, and I really tasted the taste of fear. I couldn't imagine that if in the future, it was just a decision of mine, A large number of people died, how should I face the relatives and friends of those victims.

Even if I have the ability of reincarnation, after my own death, I can go back to the day before the disaster broke out and start everything over again, I don't mind working hard from scratch again and again in order to save mankind.

However, just because of the ability to start over, can you ignore the suffering and death of others?Can you let others die because of you with peace of mind?

With deep fear, I went to "Gensokyo" again, and I couldn't tell whether I wanted to personally investigate the living environment of the monsters and then make a safe decision, or simply wanted to use this to escape.

When I first arrived in "Gensokyo", I basically lived a semi-reclusive life, letting myself not think about the future of human beings, not thinking about the responsibility of the "League of the Circle", and not thinking about the relationship between humans and non-humans.

But it was during that time that I realized that I was not a person who could allow myself to escape, even if I kept persuading myself, telling myself that Homura was also very strong, Enoshima Junko's management ability was far better than mine, and they were enough for the "Circle Principle", and I didn't need to worry about it at all.

However, I still can't help but think, what if an enemy that the Phoenix Court uncles and the others can't deal with appears when I am peacefully living in seclusion?What if the guardians under Uncle Flying Squirrel set off civil strife?In the zombie wilderness, will there be settlements that I haven't discovered, just when I lived in seclusion, because I couldn't wait for my support to be completely wiped out?

Sure enough, I still can't give up my own responsibility.

Even though, no one forced me to take this responsibility.

Even if it's just a responsibility I imposed on myself.

I began to roam around and inspect various places in "Gensokyo" more actively. I didn't hide my arrival, but the big monsters seemed to be waiting for me to make a decision just like Homura and the others. They didn't make any interference with my investigation, and showed me the most authentic side of "Gensokyo" without any shyness.

With the deepening of my understanding, I found that although the monsters who have just been infected with the remodeling virus have low intelligence, they will have an uncontrollable cannibalism under the influence of the zombie virus. However, the big monsters under the leadership of Sister Yakumo Zi have not only established a living area for humans to prohibit monsters from intruding, but also specially opened a place to house monsters.

As for the monsters who have regained their intelligence, after observation, I found that although they do not want to get close to humans, their thinking logic is actually the same as that of humans. They just believe in the law of the jungle more, and they will not treat humans as dust and grass, and they will not be able to communicate with each other at all.

After witnessing the reality of monsters with my own eyes, and understanding how they get along with humans, after a long and hard thinking, I finally made a decision——

All races that have the common intelligence and emotion of the human race, referred to as "humanity" for short, on the premise that they are willing to coexist peacefully with humans and will not take the initiative to harm or oppress humans, the "League of the Circle of Reason" should accept them with goodwill.

In the unknown wilderness full of zombies, no one knows how many deadly dangers are lurking. In order to protect those ordinary people, we must unite as much as possible to explore those unknown places and eliminate those dangers together.

The moment I made a decision, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Homura's voice seemed to ring in my ears.

She is saying to me:

"Xiaoyuan, Meng, it's time to wake up."

Chapter 6 Greetings to you, Almighty God

"Do you really want to wake up Madoka?"

Demon Yan's face was full of unwillingness, his eyes fixed on Zhao Hun, hoping to use his aura to overwhelm Zhao Hun and make him change his mind.

In the world of fantasy, Demon Flame can shield and modify Madoka's memory, where Madoka is just Madoka, not a circle. Even if she is tired and busy, she is still ordinary and happy.

Madoka's happiness has always been Demon Homura's greatest pursuit. Once Madoka is awakened and she is freed from the illusion, the theory of the circle as the memory of the gods will immediately wake up, and Madoka will have to face another group including her parents , a world where everyone forgets her.

Just imagining that scene, Demon Homura couldn't bear to wake Madoka up.

If Demon Flame herself is immersed in illusory happiness, she definitely cannot accept it, because the harm caused by being deceived by the incubator, the behavior that Demon Flame hates most now is that someone deceives herself, but if Madoka is to be deceived in the illusory She feels that it is okay to experience happiness in the process, after all, false happiness is also happiness.

Therefore, even though he knew that Zhao Hun's suggestion of waking Madoka was right, Devil Flame still couldn't help but secretly blamed Zhao Hun, feeling that he had broken Madoka's happiness.

It's not that Zhao Hun can't understand Devil Flame's mood, his ability to figure out people's hearts and emotions is still as good as ever.However, being able to understand other people's feelings does not mean that Zhao Hun can understand others' feelings. His demeanor was as calm and indifferent as before, and he spoke indifferently.

"The illusion was created by you, and if you don't want to dispel it, I can't force you, so forget it."

When Zhao Hun asked to wake up Madoka, Devil Flame was full of resistance, and even a little annoyed Zhao Hun because of it, but when Zhao Hun resolutely gave up, she hesitated again.

Xiao Meiyan may appear to be a bit dead-headed and dull in other matters, but when it comes to matters related to Madoka, she is first-class sensitive.

Devil Flame knew very well that Madoka had practiced for a long time in her own illusion. Under Zhao Hun's guidance, Madoka experienced many things and learned a lot.

When she first became a god, Madoka possessed the power of a god, and everything in the world could not hide from her eyes. She should be as wise as the God of Creation in mythology, but in fact, Madoka's mentality, except for her love for The fraternity of the world is far beyond that of ordinary people, except that she conforms to the identity of a god, the rest is still an ordinary junior high school girl.

At that time, Madoka clearly had the ability to easily change the bottom rules of the world, but because of her immature mentality and the deep kindness in her heart, she did not dare to change her fate of being forgotten by the world, for fear that her actions would bring suffering and death to others.

Therefore, after becoming a god, the almost omnipotent ring principle did nothing but save the girls who turned into witches at first, but just hid in the paradise he built and played with a group of magical girls. Childish house wine game.

But now, Madoka, who experienced reincarnation as an ordinary person by forgetting the memory of the gods in the illusion, has grown up.

Zhao Hun, a cruel guy, forced Xiaoyuan to face sacrifice, death, and choice again and again in the illusion. No matter how pitifully Xiaoyuan cried, he didn't mean to be soft.

That is, Xiaoyuan accidentally woke up in the middle of the journey, cutting out her pre-god self and leaving it in the illusion. After becoming a god, she split into hundreds of millions of individuals, quietly followed every Zhao Hun to observe and learn, and Zhao Hun, who controlled the illusion, restrained a little.

But even so, Madoka in the illusion is still growing rapidly. She gradually learned how to coordinate the contradictions within the circle, how to get along with leaders of different forces, and how to use herself as a bond to unite different forces. Under the name of the theory of the circle.

And, not long ago, with the big monster named Yakumo Zi successfully ascending to the gods, Zhao Hun also sent Madoka the final test, the final test, and the final decision-whether to accept the non-human race.

Madoka used to be too kind. After becoming a god, she merged with herself in all parallel worlds. She also knew the tragedies of magical girls in countless worlds. They were all directed by the incubator family, but she still didn't have the heart to punish the incubator family. In the end, the incubator family's ambitions swelled, and a farce called the "Theory of the Ring" capture plan was created.

It was only later that the demon Yan became a god and smashed the cursed hammer on the heads of the incubators with his own hands, and only then did the sins of this race be settled.

But just now, when Madoka in the illusion was faced with "whether to accept the inhuman race of monsters", she made a selective decision to accept the inhuman race.

Although Madoka still can't achieve the ruthlessness of "destroying the enemy", the so-called selective acceptance means selective abandonment. Madoka, who is so kind that she doesn't want to hurt anyone, has finally learned to distinguish between the enemy and the friend.

This level of growth is not considered huge, but that small choice can just turn Madoka from a pure "sage" into a "sage on the outside" and "king on the inside". It's not good for Demon Flame to ignore everything and kill decisively, and the other gods will definitely be in danger.

It can be said that Madoka now continues to live in the illusion, and it will no longer be of much benefit.

Therefore, Madoka should be awakened.

Devil Flame actually understood all these principles. Even if Zhao Hun didn't mention it, she would not keep Xiaoyuan trapped in the illusion. Xiaoyuan took the initiative to keep her pre-god self in the illusion, and even entrusted her with the theory of the circle, giving her most of the authority of the theory of the circle. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of trust in her.

No matter how reluctant Demon Homura is, he will never betray Madoka's trust.

The reason why she bargained with Zhao Hun, and even blamed Zhao Hun because of this, can only be said that her character is too awkward, and...

Want to act like a spoiled child.

In terms of analogy, like many student parties, if there is no one at home, they can get up by themselves when it is time to go to school, and even take the initiative to get up early for a period of time to ensure that they will not be late.

But once their parents are at home and come to wake them up, the students can’t help but bargain with their parents and ask for three or five minutes more sleep. If their parents don’t agree, they will be pulled up forcibly. Full of resentment, I feel that my parents don't understand me.

Although Devil Flame claims to be a devil, she is still very young in the final analysis. She is so young that she is no different from an ordinary middle school student from some angles.After getting acquainted with Zhao Hun and trusting Zhao Hun more and more, she subconsciously included Zhao Hun in the area of ​​"hoping to accommodate me".

It's a pity that Zhao Hun is not a character that can be considerate and accommodating, so he did not hesitate to express his rejection of the precious "god acting like a baby".

So, Devil Flame, who had figured everything out by himself, gave Zhao Hun an angry look, and said, "Zhao Hun, you should hurry up and become a god, maybe when you become a god, this annoying personality can be changed." Changed" and started to dispel the illusion.

After all, this is an illusion created by Demon Flame for the purpose of "trapping the principle of the circle". Even if she wants to get rid of it, it will not be so easy.

While Demon Flame was working on dismantling the illusion, the avatars of the other gods who stayed here were also notified by Zhao Hun, and rushed over to join in the fun and welcome Xiaoyuan's awakening by the way.

Most of the lives in the illusion, including the zombies, are all played by Zhao Hun as multiple characters, but the roles that have become gods, such as the fierce and flying squirrels of the Phoenix Academy, are all played by the clones of the new gods. Play in person.

In Zhao Hun's words, this would not only allow Xiaoyuan to get acquainted with them in advance, but also make it easier for them to understand the character of Yuan Huan Li, lest they have unreasonable wariness against Yuan Huan Li because of the strength of Yuan Huan Li, and eventually make everyone unhappy.

Through the contact in the illusion, the new gods such as Jizhen of the Phoenix Academy have established a good relationship with Madoka, and regard Madoka as a true friend, even if Dumbledore and Yakumo Zi have just become gods not long ago. He is the new God, and he has a lot of affection for Madoka, a kind girl.

At this time, they could finally meet Madoka for real, and of course they would not miss it.

Following Devil Flame's gentle words "Xiaoyuan, Meng, it's time to wake up", the illusion was successfully dispelled, and the pink-haired girl appeared from the almost real illusion. She slowly opened her eyes, and a daze flashed in her eyes at first, but she quickly sorted out the chaotic memories, and she understood what happened, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Homura, I'm back."

The pink-haired girl gently hugged the black-haired girl, causing a little girl who called herself a devil to tremble in embarrassment, her usually cold expression completely collapsed, and her face was full of uncontrollable excitement.

In the past, when Madoka and Demon Homura stood in hostile positions because of conflicting ideas, Demon Homura could still think "Anyway, Madoka hates me, so what else should I care about", so he embraced Madoka without any scruples, Make some frivolous and intimate gestures towards Madoka.

But now that the two sides are no longer hostile, Madoka has become kind and friendly, and even embraced Demon Flame, and the little girl who claimed to be a demon became restrained, full of thoughts:

"Xiaoyuan hugged me, should I hug Xiaoyuan too?
