Fang Zheng’s main goal in this world is to confront QB, resolve the transformation of the magical girl into a witch, and fight against Witch Night.
Fang Zheng already had an idea on how to deal with the entire incubator alien civilization of QB, but it was not the time to implement it yet. After QB was killed that time, he seemed to have sensed some danger and did not appear in Mitakihara again.
As for the Witch Night, it has not yet arrived, and Fang Zheng has no choice but to wait.
Then all that remains is to solve the problem of the magical girl's transformation into a witch.
This is actually relatively simple at the moment.
Because after investigating Mami Tomoe, Homura Akemi and Kyoko Sakura, Fang Zheng has discovered a very important feature.
That is, the reason why magical girls become witches is often not because the magical girls themselves are desperate, but because they have exhausted their magic power, their soul gems have been tainted and they have no seeds of sorrow - in fact, it is this food chain formed by QB that forms a part of the tragic fate of magical girls.
Magical girls must use their own power to defeat witches, and witches have a certain chance to "explode" seeds of sorrow to replenish the magic girl's mana. If the magic girls keep fighting but do not get seeds of sorrow, then sooner or later their MP will be exhausted and they will transform into witches.
In fact, this is also the reason why Fang Zheng thinks QB is a bad civilization.
On the surface, as QB said, the soul is extracted and stored in the soul gem, and the magical girl's body is transformed into a prop-like existence, which can ensure that they can exert extraordinary strength, endure pain, and even do things that ordinary people can't do.
Even if the body is incomplete, as long as the soul gem is still there, you can be reborn.
It sounds convenient, but Fang Zheng knows very well that this is a trap, designed to bully those magical girls.
Although Fang Zheng was not a necromancer, he was at least a paladin. The soul system of the main world was so developed that Fang Zheng naturally knew the relationship between the soul and the body. For the soul, the body was not a burden, but more like a filter.
For example, if a person is in an environment full of cold and evil atmosphere, he will first feel unwell, and if he does not leave, he will eventually die. But if he leaves, at most he will just get seriously ill, and then slowly recover.
But if you put a soul in such a place, it will become an evil spirit in a few days.
The soul itself is almost defenseless against external influences, so the body acts as a barrier, umbrella and filter for the soul, protecting it from being easily influenced and infiltrated by the evil aura of the outside world. Even if it is damaged, as long as the body is still healthy, it can slowly recover.
However, the soul gem created by QB is equivalent to placing the human soul in the outside world with almost no defense!
This means that when magical girls are fighting witches, their souls are defenseless in the witch's evil barrier!
This is why the magical girl cannot restore her mana after fighting the witch, and her soul gem becomes turbid and filthy!
Because their souls have left their bodies, the bodies are unable to actively "restore mana" to the souls through energy, and without the protection of the body, their souls have no way to resist the erosion and pollution from the witch's aura in the witch's barrier!
Once the soul is polluted, the whole person's spirit will naturally begin to become distorted, extreme, and eventually collapse.
So this is simply an unsolvable problem!
After figuring this out, Fang Zheng immediately guessed that QB was the mastermind behind all of this. Whether it was the magical girl, the witch or the curse, they were probably not naturally produced in this world, but were deliberately created by QB!
This is a bad civilization!
Now that we know the reason, how to solve the problem of the magical girl's transformation into a witch is not a difficult problem.
First, Fang Zheng used some magic props specially used to protect the soul to seal up the soul gems - of course, on the surface, it was just adding a strange little prop to the soul gems, but the main task of these magic props was to prevent the soul gems from being affected by the outside world, so there was no need to worry about other problems.
Of course, this only prevents the pollution. The magical girl still has to fight, and fighting consumes mana. Many times, even if you are not completely polluted, you will still become a witch once the mana is out.
This is something that Homura Akemi has confirmed with great confidence.
Fang Zheng’s solution to this problem is even simpler: change equipment!
Although the magic terminal developed by Preshia is not mass-produced, and even if it is mass-produced, it has to go back to Nanoha and Sakura's world and use Midzhilanda's tools to mass-produce it. But Fang Zheng's personal terminal has hard light armor. Even if it can't fire barrages and magic cannons, it is not a problem for these magical girls to exert power similar to Asuna, Eriri and Kuroneko with just ordinary hard light armor.
In addition, the strength of most witches and familiars is not very strong. Basically, a fully staffed mechanic can take turns to deal with them. Even no special blessings or magic weapons are needed. Ordinary tanks, missiles and TNT can solve the problem.
So why does this world have to have magical girls?
There is only one reason, that is, ordinary people cannot see witches and their familiars, and it is difficult for them to enter the witch's barrier. The witch is desperate and twisted, but she is not a fool. It is impossible for her to open the barrier on her own initiative to swallow an army.
By then, no one will know who died.
So Fang Zheng directly replaced the equipment of magical girls such as Mami Tomoe and Anko Sakura with hard light armor. In this way, even in battle, these girls do not need to consume mana, but can directly use the hard light armor in their personal terminals to fight.
Of course, this method is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution, but at least it is a temporary solution!
After that, the magical girls, led by Fang Zheng, began a new round of actions.
That is... Witch Hunt -- and the Reversal!!
In the pure white space, the fierce battle continues.
“Beep—beep—”
The cold and harsh sound of radio waves echoed in the pure white witch's barrier. Several figures were moving rapidly in it, fighting with the witch in the middle!
"Asami!"
After waving the spear in her hand and knocking away the bound demon that was whizzing past her, Anzi also shouted. Hearing Anzi's call, Tomoe Mami on the other side also hurriedly raised the musket in her hand, aimed at the target in front of her and pulled the trigger. Soon, behind Mami, a musket appeared in an instant, and quickly shot the demon in front of her into a sieve.
However, at this moment, the witch floating in the pure white space suddenly moved. It was a strange witch made up of ribs and electrocardiographs. It desperately waved its arms, which looked like restraints, and let out a shrill scream.
Invisible sound waves exploded all around, mixed with huge electric currents to form an almost unbreakable barrier.
"Nagisa-chan!"
Seeing this, Tomoe Mami also quickly retreated, and then shouted again. This time, hearing Tomoe Mami's call, a girl with long silver-white hair, wearing a shawl and pumpkin pants rushed out, holding a black thing that looked like a toy trumpet in her hand, and blew it hard at the witch in front of her!
“Beep beep beep!!”
Bubbles shot out from the horn and hit the electromagnetic barrier, instantly blasting a big hole in it. Because of this, the electric current that was originally erupting wildly gradually became weak and dissipated.
“Come out!”
At the same time as the electromagnetic barrier was broken, another magical girl jumped out. She was wearing a purple coat and short skirt, had long golden hair, and held a hammer in her hand that was bigger than herself. The girl took advantage of the moment when the barrier was broken and smashed the witch with a hammer. With a scream, the next moment the witch who was originally floating in the air was hit and flew out like a golf ball, and then hit the corner of the wall next to her and collapsed to the ground.
"Home run!"
Seeing this scene, the girl in purple excitedly waved the hammer in her hand.
"At least you should say it's a hole-in-one!"
Just as everyone was making a fuss, a figure appeared at high speed.
"Good job, leave it to me next!"
Seeing the petite figure with a burning red ponytail in front of them, the magical girls immediately stepped back. Then they saw the red ponytail reach out and grab the witch lying on the ground.
Soon, the magic circle formed by the burning flames bound the witch tightly, and then began to rotate rapidly. Not long after, the originally strange-looking electrocardiogram witch quickly disappeared, and turned into a girl with light-colored shoulder-length hair, wearing a white robe similar to that of the White Mage.
"Done."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers and then changed back to his original form.
"The recycling work will be left to you."
"Just leave it to us, Boss!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the magical girl holding the hammer who was standing not far from him also patted her chest with a smile and answered loudly.
"Make sure to complete the mission!"
"This is the fifth one, big brother."
At this moment, Xiao Hei also came over to join in the fun.
"It seems we are doing pretty well."
"Of course, that's the case for now."
After hearing what Xiao Hei said, Fang Zheng nodded. After transforming Baijiang Nagisa from a witch to a magical girl, Fang Zheng's other important task was to transform all the witches that could be encountered in Mitakihara and its surrounding areas back into the form of magical girls.
Firstly, it was to save these girls.
Secondly, it is to increase sufficient combat power and team members. After all, Fang Zheng’s Tiandao Palace Magical Girl Management Office cannot just be an empty sign!
At the moment, the magical girls that Fang Zheng had turned back to save, in addition to Nagisa Momoe, there were three others, one of whom was the magical girl Fukatsuki Felicia who wielded the big hammer, as well as Kagami Shinra, Ayano Rika, and Natsume Yoshiko. Counting the girl in front of him, they had almost completed the team.
In any case, for Founder, the more manpower the better.
“Ding ding ding…”
At this moment, Fang Zheng's personal terminal rang with a call tone again. Fang Zheng signaled Xiao Hei not to speak, and then started the communication.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Fang Zheng? It's me."
On the other side, Homura Akemi's somewhat nervous voice was heard.
"What's wrong? Homura?"
Fang Zheng did not let Homura Akemi participate in the witch hunting and reversal battles, because her ability was purely auxiliary in nature - in other words, if Homura Akemi did not use her own magic to fight, then her combat power would be the lowest among these magical girls. Therefore, Fang Zheng let Homura Akemi stay by Kaname Madoka's side, observe the situation, and be alert to the reappearance of QB.
Could it be that QB appeared again?
"It's like this..."
At this point, Homura Akemi hesitated, but she still continued speaking.
"Just two days ago, I learned from Madoka that Sayaka Miki's childhood sweetheart was hospitalized."
