"This power..."
"Impossible... absolutely impossible"
People and dragons in the hall stared in astonishment at the giant Buddha in the sky, especially the dragons, whose eyes were filled with shock and even a hint of fear as they looked at the man in the air.
Yes, it was a kind of terror that shouldn't have appeared in a dragon, but it was real at that moment.
"To stop this silly girl from overthinking, I have no choice but to show her all my strength!" Zorn said softly, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and doting.
"This move was once used against the Black Dragon, Acnologia!" Zorn continued, his gaze sweeping over the dragons in the hall, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"You should feel honored!" Zorn's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. His eyes shone with a brilliant golden light, like two dazzling stars.
Zorn slowly made circles with both hands, his movements deliberate. His palms moved up and down, finally stopping in front of his chest, his two palms forming a 180-degree angle. At the same time, the huge golden Buddha statue behind him made the same movement.
Its thousand arms moved simultaneously, forming a giant circle, perfectly echoing Zorn's movements.
A powerful hurricane suddenly formed in the venue, sweeping away everything around it with its violent force.
This hurricane was like the roar of nature, carrying boundless power and destructive force.
"Thousand-Style Tathagata - Dragon-Subduing Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Palms!" Zorn's voice resounded throughout the venue, filled with majesty and domineering power.
As his words fell, colossal hands of light descended from the sky like gods. These hands radiated dazzling light, illuminating the entire venue. Each hand possessed unparalleled power, seemingly capable of destroying everything.
The dragons were gripped tightly by giant hands, and they roared angrily, trying to break free.
However, the power of the giant hand of light was too great, making it impossible for them to escape easily. Their struggles were futile, and they could only watch helplessly as they were grasped by the Buddha.
"Damn humans!" The dragons roared through the sky, filled with anger and hatred towards Zorn.
Their eyes blazed with fury, and they spewed out all sorts of Magic from their mouths, attempting to attack Zorn.
However, while these Magic caused some damage upon contact with the giant hand of light, they were utterly powerless against its overwhelming strength and could not inflict any harm on Zorn.
"Stop struggling! You were going to die in the war anyway, so dying here won't make a difference!" Zorn's voice was cold and ruthless, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.
After saying that, he flipped his hands over and slapped them together forcefully. The giant Buddha's hands, carrying the power to topple mountains, slapped directly at the giant dragon that it was holding.
This attack was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, carrying an irresistible force.
The giant Buddha's hand collided with the dragons' bodies, producing a deafening roar.
The intense energy surge caused the entire venue to tremble, the ground to crack, and dust to fly everywhere.
"Tch, what's this! This is really annoying!" Gajeel stared at the giant Buddha in the sky, his deep sense of resentment even more evident on his body covered in wounds.
He felt he had given it his all, but still couldn't defeat the enemy before him, and this sense of powerlessness made him feel incredibly lost and frustrated.
"Gajeel ~" Levy rushed over from the side, shouting happily, her face beaming with Pleasure.
However, when she saw Gajeel's dejected look, her Pleasure mood instantly plummeted.
But soon, Levy smiled again, trying to comfort Gajeel.
"Alright, Gajeel, it's okay, I believe in you!"
"Right!"
Levy smiled and told Gajeel that she hoped to bring him some warmth and strength.
She held Gajeel's arm tightly, offering him support and encouragement. Levy knew Gajeel's resentment and disappointment, and she hoped to help him out of his predicament through her words and actions.
"Yes! That's right, definitely!" Gajeel turned around and firmly grasped Levy's hand, replying.
At the same time, Natsu abandoned his usual carefree demeanor and gazed solemnly at the giant Buddha in the sky.
He also sensed the opponent's immense strength, and his heart was filled with vigilance and awe. Natsu clenched his fists and secretly vowed to become stronger in order to meet the challenges that might come his way in the future.
"Laxus, are you alright!" Evergreen flew down from the sky, looking at Laxus with concern. She could also sense the resentment in Laxus's heart.
"It's okay~ Let's go!" Laxus's previously trembling eyes regained their brightness. He then took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and then quickly relaxed it, trying to calm himself down.
He then resumed his original expressionless demeanor, picked up the cloak from the ground, put it on, and strode towards the Fairy Tail gathering area.
The First Master Mavis, meanwhile, stood high in the sky, gazing at the giant Buddha above, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Yes, she was shocked. She was shocked by Zorn's immense strength, a strength she had never seen before in her life. Even if she were to compare herself to him, there was no one in the world who could rival him except for that man.
But she knew that this person did not belong to this world; he had a group of family and friends waiting for him to return.
Heartfelt blessings, heartfelt gratitude—the future she learned from Future Lucy is now one that will never happen again.
The giant Buddha in the sky bloomed like a dazzling firework, transforming into countless shimmering particles of light that gradually dissipated into the horizon.
Zorn slowly landed in front of everyone, his breathing rapid and heavy, as if every breath carried endless exhaustion.
This was the first time he had breathed so heavily after a battle, demonstrating the immense physical and Magic Power drain the fight had placed on him.
Just then, a muffled thud rang out, and a figure suddenly crashed into Zorn's arms. Future Lucy hugged Zorn tightly, her voice trembling with gratitude and joy. "Thank you... thank you... thank you!"
Tears streamed down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground and forming a puddle.
Finally, that terrible future will no longer be a reality! Future Lucy felt an indescribable Pleasure welling up inside her, and her body trembled slightly with excitement.
The pressure and fear she had carried for years were completely released at this moment. She cried freely and poured all her emotions into Zorn's arms.
"No need to thank me. No matter which world we're in, Lucy is Lucy, Fairy Tail is Fairy Tail. We'll always be family, and family's sacrifices are always made willingly!" Zorn said, his voice filled with a sense of firmness and emotion.
Zorn gazed into the distance, as if traveling through time to see the past and the future.
He recalled the heartbreaking scene he had once witnessed—the sorrow and anguish on the Golden Plains. At that moment, as an outsider, outside the world of anime, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
But now he understands that everything has been successfully changed.
"You know what? The scene on the Golden Plains was moving, but I don't want to experience it again." A hint of relief flashed in Zorn's eyes.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful..." Zorn murmured to himself, his heart filled with gratitude.
"Ultear's Lucy in any timeline, are both good." Zorn thought silently, his gratitude overflowing. He thanked fate for giving him this opportunity to change the future and prevent tragedy from happening.
"Thank you, Goddess!" Zorn whispered, his eyes gleaming with reverence and gratitude. He knew that it was this mysterious Goddess who had given him this precious opportunity to rewrite history.
The Fairy Tail members standing nearby heard Zorn's words and immediately smiled knowingly.
Their eyes revealed an indescribable sense of relief and satisfaction.
They know the road ahead is long, but at least for now, they can put down their burdens and enjoy this moment of peace and Pleasure.
They also learned everything from Future Lucy, and those terrible futures filled them with immense heartache and anger. But now, all of that is in the past, and they are grateful that they were able to change the course of the future.
"That's wonderful, nothing happened." The First Master Mavis said with a sigh, her eyes revealing a deep sense of relief.
"Yes~" The voice of the Third Generation Guild Master Makarov, also carried a hint of emotion.
