The Unknowable Future

Despite what has happened, the Tower of Paradise continues to operate smoothly, but the rebellious sentiment within the park is steadily growing stronger over time. It is foreseeable that in the near future, this tower, stained with the blood of innocents, will inevitably collapse, and at that time, a new life will be born... well, a new purgatory will emerge.

After all the commotion, the actors settled into a relatively peaceful life, but our director and screenwriter remained incredibly busy.

So what exactly happened to this big shot?

Don't rush, let's take a look together!

Hartefilia Mansion, Back Garden

"Grammy, what happened to Leila? Why are you in such a hurry to call me over?"

Hearing the question behind her, an unnatural expression appeared on the green-haired beauty's face. However, this thing appeared and disappeared quickly, so His Majesty the Emperor did not notice anything on his cheek as it turned to face him.

"Lord Sordil, you will know the details once you meet Lady Leila."

After failing to extract information, His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and then gestured for the Green-haired Beauty to continue leading the way.

In this slightly strange atmosphere, the two walked through the garden and corridors to a specific spot where they met Mrs. Leila, who was waiting for them.

"Lady Leila, Lord Sordil has arrived!"

"You've worked hard, go and rest!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Grammy bowed and left... Oh, right! Before leaving, the Green-haired Beauty gave Old Suo a meaningful look.

"What the heck! Big sister, what's with that look you're giving me?" (Old Suo's inner monologue)

Just as Old Suo was about to send a coded telegram to inquire, Leila, who was standing in front, spoke up, "Lord Sordil, I have something I would like to ask you. Could you please come over here for a moment?"

"Huh? Can't I say it now?"

After Old Suo finished speaking, Leila shook her head and said, "This matter cannot be known to outsiders, so please come closer!"

"All right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, His Majesty the Emperor strode toward Leila.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion directly opposite Old Suo and his companion, Grammy, who had bowed and stepped back, pushed open the door and entered a room.

"Won't we get into trouble doing this?"

Upon hearing the Green-haired Beauty's question, the person standing by the window turned around and said softly, "Lord Sordil is very powerful, that person cannot harm him. I'm just worried that if that person goes too far, it will endanger us."

"Then you...?"

"I didn't want to either... but it was a collective request from them, and I couldn't do anything about it!"

"Alas! I hope that person will show mercy!" (Grammy)

"I'm afraid it's unlikely!"

"Huh???"

Seeing her astonished best friend, the person by the window walked over to her and whispered a few words in her ear.

"What? Lord Sordil actually...?"

While the Green-haired Beauty was still in surprise, the person by the window reached out and covered her lips with their hand.

"Now we just need to wait and see!"

Having said that, the mysterious man took the Green-haired Beauty's hand and led her to the window. Just then, a Clear Wind blew in, rolling up the lowered curtains, and the warm afternoon sunlight peeked in, falling on the mysterious man's face. The next second, a beautiful blonde woman appeared in the not-so-large window. If Old Suo were here, he would definitely be startled, because standing there was none other than Leila, who had invited him.

"Can we talk about it now?"

Hearing the voice beside her, ' Leila ', who had her back to His Majesty the Emperor, turned around.

"You lecherous bastard, you've finally fallen into my hands!"

Upon seeing ' Leila ' appear before his eyes, Old Suo was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

"You... you... you..."

"Heh! Didn't I say before that even if you escape back to the human world, I won't let you go!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment the words left her mouth, a water rope flew out of ' Leila's' hand and tightly wrapped around the hands of one of the escapees.

"Thump!"

After being tied up, the man knelt down without any backbone.

"Sister, what did I do wrong? Can you tell me so I can die knowing the truth?"

"Snort!"

She snorted coldly at the lecherous man who was crying his eyes out, and then ' Leila '... well, I think you've already guessed who she is, so I won't hide it anymore. Then Aquarius recounted in detail the man's atrocities and the impact they had on her.

"Sister, I didn't mean it!"

"Hmph! What's the point of saying all this now!"

Seeing that there was no hope of exoneration, His Majesty the Emperor asked in utter dejection, "Then... what do you intend to do with me?"

"First, come back to the Spirit World with me to clear up the misunderstanding, then apologize in public, and then... well, that depends on your luck!"

Upon hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor's last soul left his body, and then his grayish-white flesh plunged straight into the lake in front of him.

"Want to commit suicide to atone for your sins? Dream on!"

The moment the words left her mouth, Aquarius grabbed Old Suo's collar, lifted him up, and then, along with the criminal, vanished into the courtyard in a flash of golden light.

"Lady Leila, will Lord Sordil ever return?"

"Probably... I should... maybe... almost, I should be able to come back!"

Upon hearing the lady's reply, the Green-haired Beauty stared at her in astonishment. Just then, the insecure Mrs. Leila also looked at her, and the air instantly froze.

Edolas, the Edolas Capital, the Royal Palace Council Hall

"Your Majesty, Lord Jess requests an audience!"

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, an intelligence officer dressed in a white robe hurriedly entered the main hall.

"Your humble servant Jess greets Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Jess stood up, Faust, who was sitting on the throne, asked, "Jess, you requested an audience today because there has been any progress on that matter?"

"Exactly!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

He bowed to Faust, and then the intelligence officer began to recount the results of his investigation.

"Your Majesty, after extensive investigation, we have found that the reason for the loss of magic is that the rules of this world are gradually collapsing!"

"Rules broken?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, please look!"

As they spoke, four soldiers carried two living maps into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the picture on the left shows the topographical changes of Edolas over the past fifty years, and the picture on the right shows the birth rates of various creatures during the same period."

After a cursory glance at the two maps, the king asked, "What do these two maps tell us?"

"Your Majesty, according to the data in these two maps, in the past fifty years, lands and creatures containing magic have been gradually dying out, while other species have not shown this phenomenon. This indicates that the loss of magic is not caused by human factors, but is a phenomenon caused by this world."

After the intelligence officer finished speaking, Faust's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

"Are we just supposed to stand by and watch all this happen?"

"No! Your Majesty, there is a way to alleviate this situation!"

"What method?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the massive storm that struck the Interdimensional Sea decades ago?"

"Of course I remember!"

After giving the standard answer, His Majesty the King frowned and asked, "Could it be that the storm has the ability to alleviate the loss of magic?"

Yes and no!

What does this mean?

"What truly slows down the loss of magic is not the storm itself, but another world that is forcibly connected by the storm."

"Another world? You mean the Asland mentioned in historical records?"

"Exactly!"

"What... what exactly is going on?"

"Your Majesty, you should know that Asland and we Edolas are similar in that we both possess the precious resource of magic."

"Yes! I know that!"

"I remember the book once said that although the two worlds are similar, there are some differences. We Edolas can use magic with the help of magical tools, while the creatures of Asland are born with magic power."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"It is these subtle differences that make the two worlds so close yet so different. It is also because of this that we in Edolas experience a loss of magic, while Asland does not. Therefore, when the two worlds connect, the other world's magic flows into Edolas, alleviating the magic loss phenomenon here."

"So that's how it is! Wait! The method you just mentioned, could it be...?"

Seeing Faust staring at him with a look of surprise and doubt, Jess nodded and said, "You guessed right, it's about breaking down the dimensional barrier and reconnecting the two worlds!"

"This... I'm afraid we can't do it with our own strength alone, can we?"

After His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, the chief of staff, who had been listening for a long time, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, didn't those beings issue us an order earlier?"

As a ruler and his subject who had cooperated for many years, His Majesty the Emperor understood what Byro meant the moment he finished speaking.

"Hehe! I was in such a hurry that I completely forgot about them!"

After finishing his cold laugh, His Majesty the Emperor said to Byro, "Chief of Staff, I'll have to trouble you with this matter!"

"I am willing to share Your Majesty's burdens!"

After the chief of staff finished speaking, a burst of laughter with a complex flavor echoed through the hall.

While His Majesty the Emperor was plotting to save the world, his kingdom's Royal Army wasn't idle either, with the Second Magic Warfare Unit being the busiest. As for what they were doing... well! You're all Fairy Tail, so I don't need to repeat myself, right?

As the open-source and cost-cutting efforts proceed smoothly, the trajectories of the two worlds are gradually converging. However, due to the addition of a rainbow butterfly... well, given someone's species affiliation, from now on, all instances of the butterfly effect in this article will be referred to as the rainbow effect. This is done firstly to distinguish it from other transmigrating butterflies, and secondly to avoid any awkwardness for anyone. (Okay! I admit, the one who truly feels awkward is me!)

Because of the added rainbow effect, no one knows what kind of sparks will fly between these two worlds, so let's wait and see! (That's right, even Great Owl don't know, because before I got to that chapter, I wasn't sure what my imagination would come up with.)
