Everyone Learns of Another, Different Future

The entire room seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, falling into a state of tranquility.

Zorn fell into deep thought. From Future Lucy's words, he realized that the Lucy in front of him was not from his own world.

In other words, from the moment he transmigrated into this world, the once mighty and unstoppable river of time was forcibly divided into a tributary that was exactly the same as his.

The only difference lies in whether he actually exists, and what unexpected changes his appearance will cause in a series of events.

"Haha, it seems I've taken a completely different path in that world!"

Zorn chuckled twice, trying to smooth over everyone's doubts in this way.

When Zorn came to his senses, he noticed that his companions were all looking at him with suspicion, and even the usually strong Cana looked worried.

I must say that now is not the right time to explain all of this in detail.

Hearing Zorn say this, the doubts and worries in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated.

In their minds, they still thought it was something similar to what happened last time in another parallel world!

But only a few people who had been to the other world of Edo, as well as the Third Generation Makarov and the First Master Mavis, would think so.

But they believed in Zorn.

It's also important to note that it's now X784! That's a full seven years earlier than the timeline you mentioned!

Zorn seized the opportunity to quickly change the subject, trying to distract everyone.

"What?! A difference of seven years!"

Upon hearing this, Lucy was stunned into silence, her face filled with disbelief.

She instinctively covered her forehead with her hand, desperately trying to recall the scene, but the memories in her mind told her...

All of this is absolutely true.

They indeed did not participate in the first Grand Magic Games...

Due to the sudden arrival of Acnologia, Tenrou Island sank instantly...

They and everyone else nearly lost their lives, but the First Master used Fairy Sphere Magic to save them.

Then, they were sealed in time, where they spent seven long years.

But where exactly did things go wrong?

"... Um... why didn't we participate in the first Grand Magic Games?"

Lucy, now somewhat embarrassed, asked. To be honest, looking at someone who looked exactly like her felt really strange.

"How embarrassing, Lucy!" Happy suddenly appeared from the side and teased Lucy.

"Bang!" "Don't emphasize it, Happy!"

However, to Happy's surprise, he was met with a loving punch from Lucy.

The future Lucy witnessed everything unfolding before her. Her previously tense brows gradually relaxed, and she slowly pulled Happy into her arms, gently stroking the bump on its head, and began to tell the story, "It all started on the day of the S-rank assessment..."

"Ah... Future Lucy!" Happy exclaimed, nestled in Lucy's arms.

Lucy was absolutely furious when she saw Happy in this state.

Future Lucy chuckled softly, but paused when she mentioned the Grimoire Heart: "Everything was going very smoothly that day... but no one could have predicted that the Grimoire Heart would suddenly invade Tenrou Island."

"Oh, so it was those guys. We gave them a good beating without holding back!"

Upon hearing the words "Grimoire Heart," Natsu immediately sprang to his feet like a powder keg that had been lit, waving his arms and legs around the room, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Natsu, stop messing around, let Lucy finish what she has to say!" Gray reacted quickly and pulled Natsu aside.

Natsu initially tried to struggle and resist, but Erza gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

Natsu was as if he had been frozen in place; his temper vanished instantly, and he obediently sat back down.

"That's right, we not only chased them away, but Cana also successfully reunited with Uncle Gildarts!"

Speaking of this experience, a smile appeared on Future Lucy, and at the same time, she couldn't help but recall the scene at that time: she and Natsu secretly hid to the side and watched Gildarts' tearful face, and a warm current welled up in their hearts.

When Cana heard Gildarts's name, she paused slightly, then clenched her fists, muttering to herself, "I wonder where that weird old man is off having fun now..."

Just when everything was gradually getting back on track, an unexpected person appeared...

"Acnologia..." When Lucy mentioned this name, her body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes became empty and lifeless, as if she were trapped in a terrible nightmare.

Upon seeing this, Mirajane quickly sat down by the bed and gently pulled Lucy into her arms, quietly comforting her. At the same time, Wendy also used Magic, doing her best to ease Lucy's trembling body caused by fear.

"No matter how we attack, we can't inflict the slightest damage on the enemy."

Finally, along with Tenrou Island, it was struck and sunk by its furious roar, sinking into the vast sea.

"Fortunately, we were saved thanks to the Fairy Sphere super Magic created by the First Master Guild Master."

"However, time stood still at that moment; seven whole years had passed..."

"Due to its severely weakened strength, Fairy Tail's Fairy Tail plummeted, falling to the very bottom."

"So, we decided to participate in the Grand Magic Games seven years later... to reclaim our Fairy Tail's glory."

"Next, after the successful event, came the apocalyptic spectacle, with tens of thousands of giant dragons emerging..." "Everyone... everyone... all of them..."

Future Lucy, suppressing her grief, choked back tears as she recounted to everyone what had happened since the Tenrou Island incident, continuing until everyone had fought to the very last moment... She finally couldn't hold back her words, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

The faces of their companions around them were filled with sadness and disbelief, as if they could not accept what was happening before their eyes.

They clearly remembered that the situation they faced back then was completely different from now. Zorn's enormous, sky-covering figure was still vivid in their minds. In the end, they worked together to drive the powerful Acnologia into a mysterious spatial rift.

It can be said that without Zorn's existence, they would probably have suffered the same tragic fate and endured the same heavy pain.

However, it is precisely because Zorn stepped forward that they have become the premier Fairy Tail in the Fiore Kingdom —a super Fairy Tail with numerous S-Class Mages, and the Fairy Tail with two Ten Wizard Saints.

At this moment, a deep sense of respect and reliance on Zorn welled up in everyone's heart, and they couldn't help but sigh to themselves, "Zorn is really too reliable!" Everyone looked at Zorn with eyes full of admiration.

"Don't worry, Lucy! We'll protect the future!"

Without hesitation, Natsu rushed to the bedside, reached out and gently placed his hands on Lucy's head, stroking it tenderly.

He slowly leaned down, pressing his forehead against Lucy's, gazing at her with unwavering focus, and solemnly said, "And we'll work together to save your bright future!"

"Leave it to us!"

Everyone spoke in unison, their voices firm.

"Yes!" Lucy nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with tears.
