Cross Over, Jellal!

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Jess, how many people know Anima?"

After His Majesty the King finished speaking, the intelligence officer paused for a moment, then began to mentally review the data.

After a long pause, the intelligence officer raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are twelve people in total, including this humble servant and the Prince, who know about this matter."

"Immediately investigate the whereabouts of the other eleven!"

"Including... the Prince?"

"That's right!"

"Yes, sir! I'll take care of it right away!"

After speaking, the intelligence officer bowed and left the hall, while His Majesty the King gazed in a certain direction of the palace and murmured, "I hope it's not you, otherwise... hmph!"

Magnolia, Fairy Tail

As Old Suo and his companion slowly stepped into the guild, the eccentric characters who had entered the air-raid shelter returned to the surface.

"Old Suo, where have you been all this time? It's taken you so long to show up!" (Laxus)

"Hehe! I originally wanted to go out for a walk to clear my head, but I ran into an interesting guy, so I was delayed a bit."

"An interesting fellow? Is that the one behind you? (Laxus)"

Ah~

"Her name is Erza, and she'll be our new companion from now on!"

"Lazy God, do you have a collecting habit? (Wakaba)"

"Collection habits? What does that mean?"

"Hey... you picked up Kana on your first outing, then you acquired Gray on your trip to the Northern Continent, and now you've taken a break and have a red-haired beauty by your side. Isn't that just a collecting habit?! (Wakaba)"

"Bang!"

Before the Lazy God could answer, the pretty girl and the droopy-eyed boy who had been brought along each gave him a Maruko.

After taking down a certain foul-mouthed guy, the brown-haired girl waved her cherry-fist and said, "Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, what this guy said is not wrong. You do have a collecting fetish."

After being thoroughly criticized, His Majesty the Emperor said with a dark face, "I just encountered some guys who wanted to join a guild, was it really necessary to say that?"

"It's normal to encounter people who want to join a guild, but aren't you encountering them a little too frequently? (Macao)"

"Nonsense! I'm a legitimate transmigrator, I have... oops! I have information on every Fairy Tail member in my hands, if I still can't meet them, then my luck is just too bad!"

After silently criticizing, His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Hmph! If you had my insight and strength, you could be just like me!"

"Really? (Churchill)"

"Of course it's true!"

"If that's the case, then shouldn't Gildarts be like that too? (Wakaba)"

Upon hearing this, the Lazy God's language system instantly collapsed from the backlash.

"Ahem... Well... Gildarts is pretty good, but he's still a bit behind me!" (Great Owl: Bullshit! You're the one who stole his spotlight!)

It wasn't just Great Owl who could see through someone's clumsy acting, so when the person finished spouting his arrogant words, everyone in the hall rolled their eyes and pursed their lips.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, someone quickly said, "Alright, stop fooling around!"

"Kana, quickly help Erza with the formalities, then take her to the girls' dormitory to rest."

Although she was annoyed by someone's perfunctory attitude, the brown-haired beauty still diligently carried out the tasks assigned to her.

After watching the two beautiful girls leave, Lazy God prepared to have a good drink and relax. But before his butt even touched the chair, new trouble came his way.

"Old Suo, get up! I challenge you!" (Laxus)

Wow~

Upon hearing these mouthwatering words, the idle people in the hall all stood up and howled excitedly.

"I'm open to the challenge, but it has to wait until tomorrow. I'm too tired today, I need to get some rest!"

"No! Today it has to be!"

"Stop messing around! I really don't want to compete today!"

"Hmph! That's not up to you!"

"Raging Volt!"

"Ham!"

After swallowing the incoming bright yellow lightning bolt, Lazy God delivered a powerful uppercut that sent the rebellious youth crashing into the ceiling.

"Honestly! Wouldn't it be better to use this time to think about how to use your magic? Why waste it on such a boring thing!"

After speaking, the Lazy God drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and then vanished into thin air.

"Heh! Just as I expected! (Wakaba)"

"To surpass Gildarts... perhaps we can achieve that in our lifetime, but the Lazy God... ha! (Churchill)"

"That's natural; after all, even Lazy God is a god! (Versailles)"

"Sigh! Never mind, let's drink... let's drink! (Kuli)"

Edolas, Royal Palace Council Hall

"Your Majesty, I led the palace guards in a thorough search of the entire palace, but we found no suspicious persons. (Byro)"

"I understand, you can stand to the side for now!"

"Yes!"

Not long after the chief of staff bowed and stood in place, a report came from outside the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jess requests an audience!"

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the intelligence officer came running in, panting.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. Of the eleven people besides myself, only His Your Highness the Prince had left for a period of time not long ago."

Upon hearing the intelligence officer's report, His Majesty the Emperor turned around abruptly and shouted, "Where is he now?"

"Your Majesty, I have inquired with the palace guards, and they said that the Prince left the palace a quarter of an hour ago and has not returned."

"Hmph! That unfilial son!"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to dwell on these matters. We must find the Prince immediately, or the consequences will be dire!" (Byro)

"Um!"

After nodding, His Majesty the King pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Byro, you immediately lead the Royal Army to search for Jellal. You must find him!"

"Yes!"

Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, the king suddenly changed his orders.

"Etc!"

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you require?"

"Leave the First Magic Battle Unit behind!"

After his eyes darted around, the chief of staff instantly understood His Majesty the King's concerns. He quickly bowed in agreement and then hurriedly left the council hall.

"Jess!"

"Exist!"

"Immediately send people to retrieve the relevant data and equipment related to Anima, and put all participants under strict custody."

"Yes!"

After watching the intelligence officer leave the palace gates, His Majesty the King murmured, "The magic of this world belongs to me, and no one can stop it!"

"Crack!"

As the last character left his mouth, the small wooden pendant that His Majesty the King was holding turned into a pile of sawdust.

In a mansion in the Edolas Kingdom

"Listen up, everyone! Search house to house, don't miss any corner. Once you find a target, don't act rashly, but immediately notify nearby friendly forces!"

"Yes!"

After the unified shouts subsided, the orderly footsteps spread out to both sides, causing someone inside the wall to feel utterly terrified.

"Oh no, they've found us! What are we going to do?!"

He paced back and forth a few times, and then a bright light bulb appeared on His Your Highness the Prince's head.

"That's right, we can use that thing!"

"I have to hurry, or I'll be too late!"

After saying this, His Your Highness the Prince lifted the lid of a large vat beside him and jumped in.

Anima Research Base near Edolas Royal City

Seeing the intelligence officer rushing over with a large group of men, the guards at the gate immediately went to greet him.

"Greetings, Lord Jess!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After the gatekeeper stood up, Jess asked, "Has His Your Highness the Prince been here?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Prince just returned from outside not long ago!"

"What?"

"How long has the Prince been inside?"

"It's been about fifteen minutes!"

Upon hearing this, the intelligence officer's brows furrowed instantly.

"You stay here and guard the exit. Without my order, no one is to leave... including His Your Highness the Prince!"

"Yes!"

After giving instructions to the gatekeeper, Jess immediately led the soldiers behind him into the research institute.

Deep within the research institute, in front of a mysterious high platform

"Da da"

"Da da"

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, the young Prince took a deep breath and then increased the speed of his men to the maximum.

"Snap!"

Just as the blue-haired Prince finished installing the last component, the closed door was kicked open from the outside.

Seeing the Blue-haired boy standing on the high platform, the intelligence officer shouted, "Your Highness the Prince, what are you doing?"

"Lord Jess, I helped you develop Anima to improve magic loss, not so you could use it to harm others, so I cannot give it to you!"

"Your Highness the Prince, you know His Majesty the King's temper. If you destroy the data and equipment, neither of us will likely escape unscathed!"

"Hehe! Of course I know that, which is why I have to stop my father. If he gets these things, countless lives will be lost!"

The moment the Prince finished speaking, the platform beneath his feet flashed with a dazzling blue light.

"No!!!"

Upon seeing this, Jess exclaimed in surprise and rushed toward the platform.

"Buzz!"

As time passed, the blue light grew brighter and brighter. At the same time, a violent airflow appeared all around, blowing the soldiers in the room about unsteadily.

"Buzz!"

When the blue light reaches its peak, the airflow spirals and stacks together, forming a huge vortex-like airflow.

"Snap!"

After enduring the impact of the high-pressure air drill for several tens of seconds, a sound of shattering glass echoed through the space.

"Whoosh!"

The spatial rift released a powerful suction force, pulling the Your Highness the Prince standing in front of it into the vortex.

"Ah~~"

Seeing that the Prince was about to disappear, Jess leaped into the air and reached out to grab the Prince's collar.
