"No... now is the time... no one can stop a child's longing for their parents!" Zorn's voice was deep and firm, as if it contained endless power.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the other person, his eyes revealing a resolute and determined look.
"Even parents themselves cannot stop this longing," she continued softly, a hint of emotion in her voice.
After saying that, he smiled slightly, a smile as warm as the spring sun.
Facing the three giant dragons, his smile grew even brighter.
With his hands clasped together, Magic Power began to surge throughout his body.
Instantly, the entire mental space trembled, as if sensing a powerful energy erupting.
"Some things are better left for you to teach yourselves. Let them freely transform their longing into power!" As soon as Zorn finished speaking, his body gradually merged into a dazzling light.
As the light intensified, Zorn's figure finally disappeared from the space.
The voice still echoed, "I will do everything in my power to protect the three of them, so you can rest assured..."
However, at that moment, three blurry figures suddenly appeared in the bright light.
They stood there silently, their eyes fixed on the three giant dragons before them.
Wendy, one of them, stared wide-eyed at everything before her, incredulous.
She instinctively covered her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid that she would cry out, but tears of Pleasure had already welled up in her eyes and dripped down like pearls from a broken string.
Even the usually arrogant Gajeel was now in tears, clenching his teeth and trying hard not to let the tears fall.
But the tears flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable.
Natsu cried like a child, clutching his scarf tightly, his body trembling slightly. His sobs were filled with longing and yearning for his loved ones, as if he feared it was all an illusion.
"What are you crying for, man..." Igneel's voice rang out in a low and serious tone, but his angry eyes were full of concern for Natsu.
"Igneel, I missed you so much!!" Natsu shouted excitedly, and his tears, which had been flowing, suddenly stopped, replaced by an incredibly bright smile.
Then, like a joyful little bird, it spread its arms and ran towards Igneel.
Standing still, Igneel silently watched the smiling boy running towards him, and a feeling of indescribable emotion and relief welled up in his heart.
He gazed at Natsu quietly, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and love.
Just then, Igneel recalled the scene of his first meeting with Natsu — Natsu was just a little child then, but he had the same innocent and carefree smile on his face.
Time flies, and Natsu has grown into an adult, but his innocence and joy remain unchanged.
Igneel knew that no matter how time passed, Natsu would always be that kind, enthusiastic, and energetic boy.
Grandine looked at Wendy, who was crying like a child, and a pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.
He slowly shrank his body and gently pulled Wendy into his arms. "I'm so sorry, Wendy!" Grandine said apologetically.
"It's alright, Grandine..." Wendy replied, sobbing, "It's so good to finally see you all..."
Grandine gently patted Wendy on the back, comforting her, "We've always been here for you! You've all worked so hard, and you've found a group of trustworthy friends."
Grandine, however, was thinking about Zorn, and said helplessly to the other two dragons, "We really have lost completely!"
Metalicana chimed in, "Yes!" His gaze was equally serious and firm, and his tone was somewhat rigid.
I completely agree.
They were still wondering how Zorn had single-handedly defeated their three dragons, and how to stop Zorn from revealing the truth, when he dropped a bombshell, not even letting them finish their story.
Gajeel simply reached out and snapped his fingers lightly on Gajeel's forehead, "Alright, you look awful crying!"
"Damn it, I'm happy, I'm not crying! Metalicana, don't flick my head, I'm all grown up now!" Gajeel suddenly broke down and yelled.
"Gajeel, it seems you've found companions willing to fight and protect you. You truly are my son!" Metalicana exclaimed in affirmation.
Gajeel's pounding body paused for a moment, then he flashed a white smile and said, "Of course!"
The outside world
"Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, what's wrong with you...?"
Lucy rushed forward anxiously and was the first to catch Natsu's limp body as he collapsed.
At the same time, Gajeel was also transformed back to his original size by Lily's Magic, who arrived just in time, and was then helped up by him;
Wendy, meanwhile, was tightly embraced by Erza.
Everyone gathered around with concern, checking on the three people's condition.
However, at that moment, everyone was stunned!
Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy wore expressions that were hard to describe. They were crying, tears streaming down their faces like broken beads, but they were clearly not tears of sadness or pain, but tears of joy filled with boundless happiness!
Zorn smiled softly and explained to everyone, "Don't worry, they're fine. In fact, they've just been reunited with their parents, whom they've been longing to see!"
As everyone gazed at the smiles on the three of them, a warm feeling welled up in their hearts, and they all returned the gaze with knowing smiles.
Then, Zorn suggested, "In that case, let them rest for a while. We'll take them back to the Fairy Tail."
"You're right, I can truly feel their Pleasure and satisfaction at this moment, it's really touching!" Meredy, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her wrist flashing with Magic light, as if to prove that what she said was true.
The connection of emotional Magic.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Because of the emotional connection, everyone felt a sense of happiness lingering in their hearts, and only one sentence came to mind.
An indescribable surge of emotion welled up within Ultear, as if her destiny had quietly veered off course from the moment she met Zorn.
"The life that was once shrouded in endless darkness and tormented by curses is now fading away!" This thought flashed through her mind like lightning, making her tremble.
She gazed silently into the distance, her eyes sparkling with hope and anticipation.
She also understood that her once broken heart had now healed and was radiating new life.
All of this change was due to the appearance of Zorn.
"Fairy Tail Fairy Tail, what an amazing Fairy Tail..." Ultear murmured softly, a happy smile spreading across her lips.
The gears of life thus begin to turn again, moving towards a bright future.
