Flower Palace

Half an hour had passed since the Eclipse Gate was activated, and the preparations for the Eclipse Gate had already been completed, but the Eclipse Gate was not opened because the dragons had not been seen.

"It's almost twelve...... Your Royal Highness, the dragons are still nowhere to be found......" Aruga Dios said as he looked at Princess Jade.

"And now that the Eclipse Gate can be pushed open by hand, what are you going to do?" Her Royal Highness ...... Princess," Dutton asked.

"Wait a minute......" Princess Emerald frowned as she looked at the Eclipse Gate.

……

Ten minutes later, several hurried voices appeared in the sight of some people.

The Jade Princess and the others naturally found out.

"It's Fairy Tail...... Why are they here? and in such a hurry......" said Arugardios first.

"What did you find...... Dutton said.

The person who came was Lucy who came running, and the reason why they ran in a hurry was because there was a future Rogge chasing behind them.

"It seems to have gotten rid of it for the time being......" Xia Lulu said as she flew and looked behind her.

"Natsu and Guggill managed to stop him......" Mirajan said, nodding.

"I hope Nazgow and Mr. Guggier are all right......," Wendy said with some concern.

"It's okay, that's Natsu and Guggill, Natsu and Guggill will definitely beat him next," Harpy shouted.

"Gergil is very powerful...... Lili said as well.

"Put that aside, we're already there......," Lucy paused and looked over a hundred meters away, where a massive door was rising above the ground.

"Is this the Gate of the Eclipse......" Mirajan saw it for the first time, so her expression was very surprised.

"It's bigger than what I saw that day...... Harpy said in surprise, although he had seen it once a few days ago, but the hall was a little dark and not very complete, but now it appeared completely, and it had to be surprised.

"Ah Xiu doesn't seem to have arrived here yet...... Mirazhen looked around, except for the large group of kingdom troops, there were only a few Jade Princesses who were looking at them from a distance.

"Let's go, take a closer look at the Eclipse Gate, and wait for Grandpa Southern Cross's analysis......" Lucy said, walking in the direction of the Emerald Princess, followed by Mirajane and Wendy.

A few hundred meters away from the large square where the eclipse gate was towering, two figures hidden in the darkness were quietly watching in the direction of the eclipse gate.

When they saw Lucy and the others running over, one of the figures moved slightly.

"Why are they here, didn't they let them leave" A male voice sounded, it was Xiu's voice.

"Paper can't contain fire after all......" Then a female voice sounded, it was Mebis's voice.

"And there's a battle more than five hundred meters from here, and from the magic it seems that Natsu and Gergill are fighting that Rog from the future......" Mebis pointed in one direction in the dark.

"Natsu, Guggill and Future Rogge ......" Xiu's voice was a little lower.

"Do you think the two of them can defeat Future Rogge......" Xiu continued.

"The magic of Future Rog has never appeared in my knowledge, so I can't analyze ......," Mebis shook his head.

"But if you fight with faith, maybe they can do it......," Mebis continued.

"It depends on what kind of belief it is......" Xiu Shen said as he looked in the direction of the Eclipse Gate.

After watching Lucy's group and Princess Emerald converge, Xiu's brows furrowed again.

…………

"Why are you here......" Princess Emerald wondered as Lucy and her group walked over.

"This ...... We're here to find Ashu, isn't he here yet......" Lucy asked, looking around.

"I want to ask you about this......" Princess Emerald asked rhetorically.

"I guess the magic array hasn't been fully set up yet......" Mirazhen said.

"And what about the Eclipse Gate, isn't it ready to be opened?" Lucy looked at the closed Eclipse Doorway.

"No, everything is ready...... Princess Emerald shook her head.

"There is no sign of the dragons, so they haven't opened ...... for the time being," Aruga Dios continued.

"And when are you going to open it?" asked Lucy.

"This ......," Princess Emerald was about to say when she was interrupted by the sound of a bell, which was midnight, and this bell also represented the beginning of a new day.

"Is it zero...... Mirajane began.

"In other words, today is the seventh day of July...... Xia Lulu also spoke.

"The day Grant Column disappeared......" Wendy muttered.

"On the same day, a large group of dragons struck...... What a coincidence," Harpy said.

"There's probably some secret in there...... Lili said, scratching his head.

"I think it's a coincidence......," Xia Lulu said.

Princess Emerald didn't care about the conversation between the harpys, but because of the ringing of the bell, they knew that it was so late.

"Can't be delayed......" Princess Emerald looked at the Eclipse Doorway.

"Are you going to open it?" asked Dutton.

"Well, time is running out...... Princess Emerald nodded, and as she spoke, she looked at the sky around her, which was still calm.

"Attention everyone, prepare to open the Eclipse Gate...... "The Emerald Guild's vision quickly returned from the sky to the Eclipse Gate, and raised its hands and shouted loudly.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused, and a soldier ran to the rightmost platform of the Eclipse Gate and pulled a handle, and the moment he pulled the handle, the Eclipse Gate, which had long since stopped ringing, rang again, like an ancient gear creaking.

At the moment when the Eclipse Gate was activated, Lucy's body, who was looking at the Eclipse Gate, suddenly burst into a state of distraction in her eyes.

After about four or five seconds, Lucy's eyes regained their divine light, and she looked at the eclipse door that was slowly opening, and her face changed completely......

"No...... Can't open this door...... Hurry up and close it......" Lucy, whose face had completely changed, quickly shouted at the Emerald Princess.

Lucy's words stunned everyone for a moment.

"What are you talking about......" Princess Emerald asked, looking at Lucy in surprise.

"Can't open this door...... We've all been lied to......" Lucy said with some anxiety.

"What do you mean......" Aruga Dios' heart began to feel uneasy.

"There's no eclipse plan two, that door is just a door that connects time...... There is no attack of 10,000 dragons...... It's all fake......" Lucy said in alarm, pointing to the door.

"What are you kidding...... "Princess Emerald still didn't believe it.

"By the way, have you forgotten the original purpose of building this, if there is a role in the second eclipse plan, why didn't you know it in the first place, all this Ah Xiu also knows, there are no dragons at all, he persuaded you before...... That future Rog's purpose is very impure......" Lucy continued as she looked at Princess Jade.

"Future Rogge?" Princess Emerald was stunned for a moment.

"Well, the futuristic man who told you about Plan Two of the Eclipse...... The evil-smelling man who fought with Ah Xiu ......" Lucy nodded.

The Emerald Princess was silent for a few seconds and then said, "If it's fake...... What is his purpose......"

"That's also something we don't know...... In the future, Rogge said that I would close the gate and kill me, knowing that I would use the Southern Cross to check the Eclipse Gate and thus expose his lies......" Lucy continued.

"I see, so I understand why Rog wants to kill Lucy in the future......" Mirajane said.

"Kill Lucy......" Princess Emerald looked startled again, and her heart began to feel uneasy, listening to Lucy's conversation as if she had really been deceived.

"But it's still not clear what Rogge's purpose is in the future...... Xia Lulu said.

"Everyone retreat......" As soon as Xia Lulu's words fell, a male voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as this male voice sounded, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Ah Xiu, you're finally here......" Mirazhen looked at the source of the voice, and immediately saw a teenager in a black power suit.

"Ah Xiu, what are you going to do, you know that there are no ten thousand dragons, and there is no eclipse plan two, but you don't say anything, you have to watch the door open...... Lucy asked as she looked at Xiu who was staring at the eclipse gate.

Xiu looked at Lucy, and at this time Lucy could see that Xiu's eyes were very calm, and nothing seemed to be able to arouse a ripple in Xiu's heart, which made Lucy's heart tremble slightly.

"This matter will be discussed later, now everyone is a hundred meters away from the Eclipse Gate" Xiu said in a deep voice, and looked at the Eclipse Gate again as he spoke, and at this time, Xiu's expression gradually became vigilant.

Everyone didn't move, but looked at the gradually opening eclipse door like Xiu, because they didn't know what Xiu wanted to say, so they chose to wait and see.

White mist began to emerge from the cracks in the eclipse gate that gradually opened, and amazing magic energy also poured out of the door, which caused the air pressure around to change somewhat, and the people's clothes began to move without wind.

"It's amazing...... My beard is shaking," Harpy was surprised, and even the fur of the three cats was shaking.

"This doesn't matter, if there is no Eclipse Plan II, then this door is a door that can travel through time and space...... Lucy, why did you just say that these fans can't be opened......" Because the wind generated by the magic was a little strong, so Xia Lulu blocked it with her hand in front of her and then looked at Lucy and asked.

"Grandpa Southern Cross said that there is nothing unusual about this door, but that today, the moon overhead will disturb the magic of the Eclipse Gate, so that something unpredictable will happen" Lucy said as she pointed to the red moon hanging in the sky.

"Eclipse, eclipse...... I see......" Arugardios said as he looked at the red moon in the sky.

"The door was opened at the wrong time...... Dutton said, "what would have happened if so......" Dutton wondered.

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't I ask you to evacuate a hundred meters from here......" Listening to the words of a few people, Xiu's heart felt a slight trace of anger.

"Eh......" After hearing a hint of anger in Xiu's tone, everyone's thoughts stopped.

"It's impossible, Ah Xiu, you haven't explained why......" Lucy looked at Xiu Dao with a very serious expression.

"Didn't I say it, I'm explaining afterwards, retreat now, here...... It's dangerous......" Xiu Shen said.

"So what the hell is dangerous......" Lucy asked again, this time in a somewhat forced tone.

As if sensing that her tone was a little compulsive, Lucy's expression was slightly gloomy, and her apologetic tone of "I'm sorry ......" also lowered.

"For the average human...... It's a devastating danger......" Xiu's tone also lowered, and his brows began to lock as he looked at the Eclipse Gate, which was almost completely opened.

Xiu could feel something very familiar to him overflowing from that door, a peculiar earthy smell.

"Wendy, you can smell the fusion of two different air scents," Xiu said in a deep voice.

Wendy was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiu's words, then took a breath and then looked surprised: "Ahhhh............h It's very light though...... But there are really two different kinds of air...... And...... There is an indescribable feeling...... Seems familiar......"

After hearing Wendy's confirmation, Xiu couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Although I had expected this to be the case for a long time, I was still shocked when I confirmed it myself......"

"Ah Xiu, what are you talking about, what has been expected......" Harpy was puzzled.

Xiu didn't pay attention to Harpy's words, but shouted "Everyone retreat immediately, ...... immediately"

"The enemy of humanity, the dragons...... Soon I will walk through the space of four hundred years and walk out of the Eclipse Gate......" After Xiu's words fell, everyone's expressions changed in an instant.

"Dragon...... Walk out of the Eclipse Gate......" Princess Jade's face had turned pale.

Just as everyone was losing their minds for a short time, there was a faint tremor on the ground, and the vibration was very regular, as if something huge was slowly moving.

"Retreat...... The dragon is out......" After feeling the ground shake, Xiu shouted again.

As soon as Xiu's words fell, Aruga Dios woke up from a brief state of trance, Aruga Dios is worthy of being the great leader of the kingdom, and his reaction power is much higher than that of ordinary people, and the moment he woke up, he turned around and yelled at the soldiers, "Everyone listen to the order, retreat a hundred meters back......"

Immediately all the soldiers retreated, and just as the soldier gate had retreated halfway through, a large black shadow appeared in the mist-filled Eclipse Gate, and the ground trembled loudly.

The huge black shadow in the mist seemed to lift its feet slightly, and then the ground trembled violently, except for Xiu, Mirajan and Lucy were shocked by the tremor of the ground and shook their bodies a few times, and then a gust of wind struck, because Xiu had already prepared to block it with a magic array at the moment when the wind arrived, so Mirajan and Lucy were not attacked by the wind.

Then, in everyone's field of vision, out of the Eclipse Gate stepped a huge creature covered in white swirls and scales like a lizard.

The moment they saw the creature, everyone recognized what it was.

This is...... Dragon......
