Fang Zheng's main goals in this world were to take down QB, solve the Magical Girls' witchification problem, and stand against the Night of the Witches.
He already had an idea for dealing with QB and the entire Incubator Alien Civilization, but it was not yet time to put it into action. After being beaten to death that time, QB seemed to have sensed some danger and had not appeared in Mitakihara again.
As for the Night of the Witches, the time had not yet come. Other than waiting, Fang Zheng had no other choice.

For the moment, that was actually relatively simple.
After investigating Mami Tomoe, Akemi Homura, and Sakura Kyoko, Fang Zheng had discovered a very important trait.
The reason Magical Girls became witches was often not because they themselves had fallen into despair. Rather, it was because they had exhausted their magic, their Soul Gems had been tainted, and they had no Grief Seeds.

Even if her body was mutilated, she could
