(Miluno)
I'd miscalculated.
The Superbrain Cube's warning hadn't been alarmist.
The instant I replaced that Virtual System and became the new "life management system," chaotic, impure, negative emotions surged toward me from every direction through the converging dark energy network, like a filthy vortex threatening to stain even my soul with chaos.
The scene constructed by "Great Blood" began to collapse.
My soul was sinking.
It felt as though I were riding an elevator straight to the center of the earth, descending into pitch-black depths.
Constant exposure to these negative energies would affect even magical girls. Their crystals would become contaminated, and witches would hatch within their bodies, devouring their personalities, memories, and everything else...
If even magical girls met such miserable ends, ordinary people stood no chance. Just a trace of black mud would leave them consumed by endless negative emotions, turning them into breeding grounds for darkness until they finally became twisted monsters.
By comparison, I (Mono), who had been born from darkness, possessed an innate resistance to negative energy. Though I usually had some little-devil habits, being lustful and lazy, Ceruno's positive influence had kept my nature from being all that bad...
That was what Miluno thought.
I wasn't just blowing my own trumpet!
Enduring the darkness that threatened to drag me into the abyss, I explored the "life management system," trying to understand it in its entirety.
As expected of the first system left behind by the "Great Will," "Great Blood" might possess the abilities closest to those of the Creator...
The research department had previously concluded that witchification and monsterification were both irreversible. Any magical girl who had been devoured could never be restored, and the same went for people who had undergone monsterification.
But from what I could see now, their conclusion was wrong...
