On the other side
Edolas Capital - Integrated Staff Headquarters
"Why haven't Erza and Sugarboy returned yet?!"
An old man with a white beard, sitting on the throne, coldly asked the other two captains below.
"Who knows... um... let me think."
Hughes, the captain of the Third Magic Combat Unit, held his baton, rested his chin on his hand, and tried his best to think about the troubles that Erza and the others might encounter.
However, considering the strength of Captains Erza and Sugarboy, there was still no clue.
Finally, he simply shrugged and said helplessly, "But, in theory, with the two of them working together, it seems like no one can stand against them!"
"Erza's sword isn't just powerful, it's incredibly powerful!" Hughes recalled Erza's sword and praised it, fully acknowledging Erza's strength.
"There's absolutely nothing to worry about!"
Pansa Lily of the First Magic Combat Unit stood to the side with his arms crossed, calmly agreeing with Hughes's statement.
Although Erza said she had only been in the Kingdom Army for a short time.
However, he quickly rose to the position of captain due to his strength! His strength speaks for itself.
When he fought Erza, they only exchanged a few dozen blows before Erza pinned him to the throat.
Pang Sha Lily recalled that time, when Erza's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and even now, her heart still tightens with fear.
"Yeah, yeah, it seems we get along really well! Lily!"
"Don't call me Lily, and you're so long-winded, Hughes."
Panga Lily placed his hand on the sword at his waist, his tone indifferent.
Hi hi~
Hughes, startled, quickly agreed, but his nonchalant, smug smile only fueled the anger.
Just as Panther Lily slowly drew his sword...
An elderly voice came from the corner.
"Your Majesty, far fewer Magic Crystals were converted this time! It seems the other world has noticed something!"
A short, old man with age spots on his face emerged from the shadows, bowed, and spoke to the king.
"Byro, how long can this Magic Power sustain the Kingdom's operation?"
"Less than six months!"
Upon hearing this, the king abruptly stood up and said coldly, "Not enough! Find out the reason!"
"And..."
"Your Majesty~"
"Oh no! Oh no!"
A little girl ran quickly into the hall, her face full of panic, and finally stood with her feet together.
They saluted the king and the two captains.
"What is it, Coco?"
King Faust looked coldly at Coco, his tone carrying a hint of anger.
"Erza, the two units led by Sugarboy have lost contact!"
"This is what Coco, the chief of staff's assistant, said Coco, as if nothing serious had happened."
Faust's gaze sharpened, and he abruptly turned to give orders to the two captains.
"Conduct a full investigation of the Capital; leave no outsider unchecked—someone must have come from that world!"
"Send men to the last known location to investigate!"
As soon as the king finished speaking, Hughes and Panther Lily below exchanged glances, as if they had realized something.
"Yes!" the two replied, and immediately left the hall.
"Coco, you can go down too!" Byro said, looking at Coco, who was still standing there with an innocent Coco.
"Your Majesty, should we bring that person out now?" Byro suggested to the Kingdom in a low voice once no one was around.
King Faust: "This..."
"Your Majesty, there is no time to hesitate now. It seems that Erza and Sugarboy Boy have already... failed!"
"Okay, go and do it! Take this token!"
Faust took out an ancient-looking token from his person.
He paused in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of his plan, he made up his mind and let go.
The token fell into Byro's hands.
Faust watched Byro's departing figure, feeling a pang of regret for this one and only chance.
However, thinking about that man's strength made me feel a little more at ease.
"Hurry up! Move faster!"
"Lord Panther Lily is still waiting for us up ahead!"
Laxus and Gajeel, on the other hand, had surrounded themselves completely.
He was standing in a small alley, watching the soldiers running away in front of him.
"It seems something urgent has happened!"
Mystogan watched the departing soldiers, lost in thought.
However, upon hearing the name "Lily," he clenched his fist.
"Mystogan, what are you planning to do next!"
Laxus straightened up from the wall, his gaze fixed on Mystogan in front of him.
He always felt that there was something else Mystogan was keeping from them.
"I need to overthrow the entire Kingdom, Laxus, Gajeel, I beg you!"
Mystogan removed his mask, made up his mind, and recalled what Zorn had told him: only revolution could save the entire Kingdom.
Magic Power will eventually disappear, so why Magic Power so tightly to it and hoard all the Magic items on the market?
Arbitrarily depriving Another World of its life force and converting it into Magic Power...
They could develop something completely different—technology.
He believes that as long as people are still alive, a different world will eventually develop.
A world full of hope.
"Oh! A coup d'état, huh!"
Laxus felt a sudden pang of regret upon hearing Mystogan's words.
It's as if there were things he was supposed to do, but he didn't.
His eyes were now filled with intense interest in the matter.
(Indeed, if the original storyline had unfolded as it was, Laxus would have started a civil war and seized the position of Guild Master!)
"This is such an interesting thing, I really want to participate!"
Upon hearing this, Gajeel clasped his hands together, temporarily setting aside the matter of finding the cat, and excitedly echoed the two's decision.
What he didn't know was that his cat, Lily, was currently gathering troops to investigate Erza and Sugarboy's situation.
Fairy Tail Fairy Tail
"Smack~"
Lucy excitedly slapped her hands on the table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lisanna, Natsu, and the others.
"So, this power was tailor-made for us."
Lucy watched as Lisanna knocked the giant frog to the ground with a single punch, and now she heard about a new power.
When the Magic Power completely disappears, their Fairy Tail can continue to develop using this power.
I wasn't very excited.
The other Fairy Tail members also smiled happily after hearing this.
"However, we still need to ask Zorn about this power system!"
"After all, he taught us, so we don't have the right to make decisions on our own."
Lisanna looked at the completely excited crowd and couldn't bear to interrupt their happy mood, but she still had to bring up this matter of principle.
"That's true... we really can't forget something this important."
"Alright, since that's the case, we can practice our Physical Arts too!"
Lucy got so excited that she forgot the most important point, but now, reminded of it, she's realized it.
"Want to learn? Sure!"
A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
When the Fairy Tail members turned around to look, they were suddenly stunned by the three people at the door and the large group of people behind them.
"How is this possible!"
