Chapter 268: The Gate to Change the World
"How is this possible? That monster used to be human...... Gergil said incredulously.
"It was because of this guy that the dragons were almost wiped out, and that's what happened four hundred years ago," Kirkenis continued.
"Old man, I'll ...... you" Just as Kirkenis was about to say something again, Kirkenis's huge figure gradually disappeared, and the voice disappeared with the disappearance of the figure.
"Hey, wait, we have a lot more to ask you......" Guggill roared at the sight.
"No, its consciousness has disappeared from here" At this time, Wendy had already relaxed from his state of focusing on mental power, and when he heard Guggier's roar, he said, "In Oriental terms, it is Buddhahood"
"I feel like I know something terrible now," Gray said with a calm face.
"Hehe......" Lucy could only laugh dryly now.
"It's too much ......to use dragon slaying magic," Natsu's voice sank, "Will it turn into a dragon?" and Natsu shouted with a look of horror on her face.
"That's bad......" Guggier also looked horrified.
"What should I do," Wendy was also pale, she didn't want to become a dragon.
Lucy, who was watching this scene, sweated, and suddenly Lucy remembered what Shi Xiu said during the day, and asked Natsu to prepare for their best mentally, "Could it be that Ah Xiu said this?"
"You don't have to be so afraid, I think you should be able to find out something about Ashu by asking Ashur," Lucy said.
"By the way, didn't he save the principle of dragon slaying magic during the day, maybe Ah Xiu has a solution" At this time, Xia Lulu also remembered.
"Really?" said Natsu, looking expectant, whether it was true or not.
"Okay......" Lucy was not sure if the monk would talk to Natsu about what happened four hundred years ago, so she could only say in an uncertain tone, after all, even she and Mirajan didn't know, and now they only knew the inside story of the dragon's extermination from this revenant dragon.
"It's impossible," just as Lucy finished speaking, a strange man's voice rang out.
"Who ......" Lucy and the others immediately became vigilant, no one should know that they came here, but now that someone actually spoke up, how could this not make them vigilant.
"Excuse me, I just overheard your conversation...... Sure enough, the historical record is the same as our research," and Lucy saw that on a high ground not far from them, there seemed to be two figures standing there, and because the fluorescence above was a little dim, it was a little difficult to see who those two figures were.
"You know the demons in Zeref's books," the male voice continued.
"Daliora......" Gray's expression changed slightly.
"That's right, Akunorolia is pretty much similar to that, so it's safe to assume that Zeref turned a dragon-slayer into Akunororia," the male voice continued.
"In other words, as long as you kill the culprit, Zeref, you will be able to defeat Akunorria," the male voice said.
"Down with Zeref...... Lucy and the others were taken aback, and then they also got used to the faint fluorescence above, and gradually saw the faces of the two people clearly, but this look suddenly surprised them.
"That's the Sabertooth Tiger's Yukino," Lucy said in surprise.
"I heard he was driven out by the Sabertooth Tiger," Harpy continued.
"Did she join the army" Gray surprised Yukino's clothes.
Xue Nai seemed to have joined the army in a soldier's clothes at this time, and next to Xue Nai was a man who had just talked to a few people, this person was also wearing a soldier's clothes like Xue Nai, but his costume was a set of white armor, and it seemed that he was a high-ranking member of the army, but Xia Lulu was shocked when she saw this man.
"White knight, ...... appeared" Xia Lulu was completely dumbfounded, as soon as this man appeared, Xia Lulu was completely sure of one thing, the picture that suddenly appeared in his mind a few days ago was not a dream.
"I'm Fioreculokas Garrison, Captain of the Sakura Holy Knights, Aruga Dios" Aruga Dios and Yukino slowly walked down from the high ground and stopped when they walked in front of Lucy.
"I'm Cao Xue Nai Agulia, a temporary soldier of the same unit," Xue Nai also said slowly.
"Why are the top brass of the army here," Gray said, looking at Aruga Dios, inexplicably eavesdropping on his own conversation and saying a bunch of inexplicable things.
"Yes, and Yukino how did you join the army......" Lucy looked at Yukino's military uniform and wondered.
"I'll explain that," Aruga Dios began.
"Since we need the power of the Star Spirit Wizard in our secret project, we asked Yukino Juncao to help us," Aruga Dios continued.
"Need a Star Wizard?" Lucy wondered.
"What does it mean that you need the power of the Star Spirit Magister?" asked Wendy politely.
"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you're talking about" Natsu shouted dissatisfied, "Forget about the ramblings, let's get to the point"
"You're Naz Doragnir, right, it's a great day's game today," Aruga Dios laughed.
"This kind of thing doesn't matter, what I care about is the need for a Star Spirit Wizard, you can make it clear to me 1510" Natsu looked at the indifferent expression of Aruga Dios, and suddenly remembered Xue Nai's experience of being used and driven out of the saber-toothed tiger, and immediately rushed to Aruga Dius and looked at Aruga Dios coldly.
"Natsu, you know, that's the lord of the kingdom," Harpy said, a little scared.
"It's not good to speak in that tone," Lili said.
Aruga Dios looked at Natsu and at Harpy, smiled, then turned around and said, "Come with me...... and left without explaining anything.
"Miss Lucy, I would like to ask you for one thing, if the plan succeeds, the defeat of Zeref and Akunororia will be just around the corner" Yukino said as she looked at Lucy.
"Uh......" Lucy looked at Xue Nai like this, and seemed to be very serious, but she didn't know what the plan was, and she didn't know whether to agree or not, so she was silent.
Then everyone followed, and Aruga Dios and Yukino walked slowly towards the path out of the Domus Arena.
—————————————
On the way to the outskirts of Culokas
A mysterious man in a black and white cloak is slowly walking down this path.
The mysterious man walked for a while and looked back and seemed to feel that someone was following him, but when he looked back, he found that there was no one, this road was all avenues where the head could be seen at a glance, and there were no house gaps and obstacles to hide, but this mysterious person always felt that he was being followed by someone, but he couldn't see anyone, which made her a little puzzled.
After making sure that no one was following him, the mysterious man's pace sped up a few points, as if he wanted to get to his destination quickly.
Then, after the mysterious man turned around and walked forward at an accelerated pace, a figure appeared from the air not far behind the mysterious man, and also sped up his pace to follow, this figure was following the mysterious woman's cultivation.
Xiu looked at the back of the mysterious woman, his brows became more and more tight, "This magic is different, who is this woman......" Xiu said secretly in his heart.
Xiu followed the woman for more than ten minutes, and found that the woman seemed to be planning to leave Kulokas, thinking of this, Xiu didn't plan to continue to follow, the figure disappeared in place in a flash, and then suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious woman and took the initiative to reveal her figure.
The mysterious woman was startled when she saw Xiu suddenly appearing in front of her, and her footsteps stopped.
"Who are you?" the mysterious woman screamed when she saw Xiu suddenly appear in front of her, and then thought of something, "Are you following me?"
"I'm sorry, but I just noticed that you look like a person, so I followed me curiously," Xiu said, looking at the woman.
"Are you from the kingdom?" the woman suddenly became vigilant when she heard Xiu say this.
"Don't you know me?" asked Xiu with some surprise when she heard the woman say this.
"I've never seen you......" The woman looked at Xiu again, then nodded.
"That's it, then I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, delayed your journey" Xiu looked at the woman's expression and didn't look like she was lying at all before apologizing, and then got out of the way and signaled that the woman could go.
The woman looked at Xiu with a puzzled expression, and then didn't care about Xiu rushing forward again.
Xiu watched the woman continue to walk towards the suburbs, thought about it, and shouted loudly again, "Wait......"
"Are you from the Kingdom of Fiore or from another country, or have you noticed anyone who looks like you?" asked Xiu again.
The woman's footsteps in front of her stopped, as if she was thinking about something, and it was only about two seconds later, and the woman spoke again, "No, as for the people who look like me, I never know if there are any, by the way, you'd better get out of here tomorrow, because this place will soon suffer a terrible disaster......" The woman replied and walked forward again, and her steps were a little faster than just now.
"That's why you left in such a hurry" Seeing the woman's rapidly departing figure, Xiu smiled, this time Xiu didn't stop the woman's departure, nor did he take the woman's words to heart, looking at the figure of the woman who was gradually moving away, Xiu's smile slowly flattened and then sighed, "Disaster? Although it sounds suspicious, there is no one in the entire Kulokas except me who has some magic similar to me"
"Although this woman's magic is a little strange, and the words behind are a little suspicious, but just because she doesn't know me, it proves that it is indeed another person, I can't imagine that there are really people who look exactly the same in this world, but I need to tell Lucy about this, I didn't expect that there are really people who look exactly the same in this world" Xiu laughed again and began to walk back.
After Xiu turned around and began to walk towards the tavern where Fairy Tail was hosting the celebration banquet for a short time, the woman's footsteps slowly stopped, as a figure appeared not far in front of her.
"You're finally here, now please tell me more about what happened before opening the Eclipse Gate" The figure said after seeing the woman appear, this figure is a male voice, you can see this person's appearance because of the moonlight, if Xiu sees it, he will definitely recognize this person is Gerald pretending to be Miston Heights, and Gerald is actually waiting for this woman here.
…………
In front of the Palazzo de la Flower of Kulokas
Aruga Dius had already arrived with Lucy and the others at this time.
"It's spectacular"
"It's gorgeous," Natsu and Gray looked at the palace dumbfounded.
"Of course, this is where the king lives," Charul said with a hillbilly look at Natsu and Gray with disdain.
"Hehe......" Lucy also laughed when she saw Natsu and Gray like this, and she didn't feel any curiosity about the place where the king lived, after all, she had lived in the Etea palace for a long time when she was in Ethea, and the Heavenly Palace Garden on Ethea's side was much more spectacular than Fiore's Flower Palace, "Does this surprise you? What should you say if you see the Heavenly Palace Garden in the Etea Kingdom?" Lucy laughed.
"Is it the palace garden of the Etya Kingdom?" Aruga Dios said after hearing Lucy say this, "The Flower Palace is naturally not as good as the Heavenly Palace Garden of Etya, after all, it is a building that shook the continent decades ago, no, maybe it should be the world," Aruga Dios said.
"I see...... Lucy Khan said, she didn't know that the Heavenly Palace Garden had been built decades ago, and she probably didn't know where it was at that time.
Aruga Dius didn't say anything more, and walked directly to the flower palace with them.
Since this is the Flower Palace, everyone is also following behind Aruga Dios while watching what this building in the center of Fiore looks like.
"What the hell are you bringing us here?" After walking for a while, Gray finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and began to ask, as they walked more and more into the depths of the Flower Palace, they found that after walking through a short bright place, the next road was already a little dark, especially this place looked like a road leading to a certain place, and there was only a faint glow magic crystal lamp gathered every other way, and there was no other light source unexpectedly, and the walls here were completely isolated from the outside world.
"Actually, the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts is just a trick, and its real purpose is to collect the magic power of the Magi," Aruga Dios said slowly.
"Collecting mana, so you collect it from festivals every year?" said Harpy, surprised.
"It feels too good...... Xia Lulu couldn't help but say, actually doing things that others didn't think others knew about under the guise of a big demon fight.
"Despicable...... Guggier said disdainfully.
"It doesn't matter what you say, it's a deliberate plan for a certain purpose"
"The gate that changes the world, the gate of the eclipse" Aruga Dios's footsteps slowly stopped, and then Lucy and the others actually found that they had walked into a very wide hall at this time, because the light around them was dark, so they only found it after arriving here, and what surprised them even more was that in the deepest part of the hall, there was a building that looked like a huge door standing quietly.
"What is this," Wendy wondered.
"To build an Eclipse, you need a lot of mana...... When the sun and moon meet, use twelve to temporarily open this door......" Aruga Dios said, turning to look behind him, all of them were puzzled by the people with Lucy's expressions.
"In this way, you can travel back in time and space, go back four hundred years, and defeat Zeref, who has not yet become immortal, this is the Eclipse Project" Aruga Dios's words stopped, but as soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Crossing...... Spacetime...... Four hundred years ago?" Lucy was even more dumbfounded, hearing that there was only one thing that Lucy could think of when she went back to four hundred years ago.
"That's ...... The time when Ashu was still alive?"
At this moment, Yukino's voice woke Lucy from her shock, "Miss Lucy, this is this matter I want to ask you for help, I heard that the time of the Star Spirit Realm is different from ours, so using the specific dimensional realm of the Star Spirit Realm and the power of the Star Spirit Wizard can open this door." Yukino looked at Lucy and said.
"This ......" At this time, Lucy could still determine whether she wanted to agree or not, but as long as she opened it, she might see Xiu in that era, and this alone made her heart completely confused.
"Originally, I was going to open this door with a power similar to that of the Star Spirit Wizard, but with the power of the real Star Spirit Wizard, the plan will be perfected, so I will rely on Xue Nai Juncao to help us complete the plan."
"The plan was three days later, on the seventh of July, when the sun and the moon met," Aruga Dios continued.
"The seventh of July is the day our dragon disappears," Natsu thought of when he heard this and the time.
"It must have been a coincidence," said Guggill, for eclipses at the intersection of the sun and moon were not something that could be encountered casually.
"So now I'd like to ask Miss Lucy to help us and help us," Aruga Dios invited Lucy by posting Yukino.
However, just as Aruga Dios's words fell, a neat footstep suddenly sounded.
"That's it......"
"Don't move...... "Don't move" was almost a matter of seconds, and many soldiers rushed behind Lucy and them, and then surrounded them with weapons, including Aruga Dios and Yukina.
"Is this the Kingdom Army?" Xia Lulu looked at the costumes of these soldiers and was taken aback.
"What's going on?" Natsu wondered, wary of the sudden appearance of the soldiers.
"Are these guys here to fight?" Gray didn't know when, he actually took off his clothes, and looked around vigilantly.
"Obediently tie your hands, Aruga Dius Dazo......" At this moment, a man walked in from among the soldiers, and this person was actually the old man who had spoken to Aruga Dius in the Domus Arena during the day.
"What do you mean, Minister of Defense?" Arugardios turned in surprise to look at the old man whom Arujadios called Minister of Defence.
"I want to ask you what's going on?" said the Minister of Defense as he looked at Aruga Dios.
"It's ridiculous to leak state secrets, nay, supra-state secrets to outsiders," said the defense secretary, looking at Aruga Dios.
"They're not outsiders, you know they play an extremely important role in this plan," Aruga Dios exclaimed as he looked at the Minister of Defense.
"It's not a simple matter for you to decide," the defense secretary said.
After hearing the words of the Minister of Defense, Aruga Dios was a little angry, "You are just against this plan, please stop this nonsense immediately" As he spoke, he wanted to go to the Minister of Defense, but was stopped by the soldiers.
"Of course I am against it, you want to change history, don't you know how terrible the danger is?" you stinky little devil......" the Minister of Defense also roared at the slight anger of Aruga Dios.
Aruga Dios looked at the soldiers around him, gritting his teeth angrily, but helpless.
"What's the quarrel?" Natsu wondered, at first thinking it was aimed at them, but now it didn't seem to be.
"He seems to be the one who opposes the plan?" Gray said.
"Yes, when history changes, the world changes," Harpy said.
"Then I don't know what it's like now," Xia Lulu followed.
At this time, the Minister of Defense made another move: "Arrest Aruga Dius Dazo on charges of treason, and at the same time take Chernay Agulia and Lucy Hatfilia into custody, and then expel those who have nothing to do with it from the palace," the Minister of Defense ordered the soldiers.
"Eh......" Lucy was stunned when she heard this.
However, when Natsu heard this, a flame suddenly burst out of his hand, "Don't involve Lucy as well......" and wanted to resist, but heard Aruga Dios's shout.
"Stop, don't use magic here......" shouted Aruga Dioston as he felt that Donaz was going to use magic.
"Huh?" Natsu was stunned by such a roar, and before he could ask why, his body suddenly shook, and he felt that the magic power in his body was actually draining rapidly, "What's going on?" Natsu said in horror.
"Didn't you just say that the Great Demon Fighting Exercise is a device that is configured to absorb magic a little bit, and then transmits it to the eclipse system, and if you use magic so close to the eclipse, you will be absorbed by the eclipse to absorb all the magic power," said the Minister of Defense.
Then, in a few seconds, Natsu fell to the ground weakly, causing Lucy's faces to change.
"Magicians who can't use magic are no match for our Kingdom Army, so don't resist," said the Minister of Defense again.
At this time, Lucy Snownay and Aruga Dios were captured by the Kingdom Army, and Greg Jill Wendy was also controlled by the Kingdom Army due to his inability to use magic.
"Lucy......" Gray, who was controlled by the Kingdom Army, couldn't help but cry out in worry.
"Aren't you Aruga Dios' men, how can this be?" called Yukino.
"Dutton......" Aruga Dios looked at the Minister of Defense, angrily calling out the old man's real name.
"I'm not going to let you start the Eclipse Plan," Defense Secretary Dutton said coldly as he looked at Aruga Dios.
Lucy, who was caught by the Kingdom Army, also knew that she had infiltrated a trouble, and after thinking of something, she shouted at Gray and them.
"Gray, you must tell Ah Xiu everything that happened here, and only Ah Xiu can call the shots about these things, and you must tell Ah Xiu word for word......" Lucy shouted.
Dutton glanced at Lucy and did not stop Lucy, but lightly gave a name and asked the soldiers to escort everyone out of the Eclipse Gate.
