At this moment, both Lucys were moved beyond words.

Especially the future Lucy—

She witnessed the destruction of her guild, the death of her comforting friend Yefrit, the deaths of her best friends Cana and Erza, and finally, the confident Natsu, who also fell before her—no matter how many times Natsu was defeated, he could always get back up, but that time, he did not get up.

The future Lucy, having lost everything, is filled with anxiety, something the present Lucy cannot comprehend.

but--

Natsu, however, understood.

Not only did I understand, I also responded to her!

Natsu, regardless of which world—

Everyone will protect Lucy!

“Natsu.” Future Lucy’s eyes were filled with tears.

“Mr. Natsu is so handsome,” Wendy couldn’t help but say.

Fairy Tail is like this: everyone is very reliable when it comes to crucial moments, especially Natsu and the others, who give you a great sense of security as soon as they appear.

Characters like Natsu and Erza, even if they suffer setbacks at times, always give people confidence—they will eventually win!

Characters like Laxus and Gildarts can practically end a game the moment they appear.

Like Yefried—although he rarely appears in person, just hearing his voice, or even not hearing his voice at all, makes you feel that you only need to fight with all your might, and Yefried will take care of everything.

"I don't have time to waste with you."

Natsu opened his mouth.

"The Fire Dragon's Roar!!!"

The entire castle was pierced by a massive pillar of fire.

The court mages and soldiers were so frightened by the power that their legs went weak.

"go!"

Natsu took the lead.

"Lucy, keep up." Lucy reached for Future Lucy's right hand, but grabbed nothing.

"Lucy, your hand."

Lucy abruptly ripped off the mage cloak of Future Lucy.

"what!!!!"

Lucy screamed.

Wendy, Charlotte, and Happy, who were standing nearby, also looked shocked.

Natsu heard the sound, turned around, and froze on the spot.

Meanwhile, Algadius, who had parted ways with Fairy Tail because he refused to join them and absolutely disapproved of any act of rebellion, was running towards where the princess and Denton were. He knew they must be at the Eclipse Gate.

He must stop the opening of the eclipse gate!

Tens of thousands of dragons—

A crisis that could destroy the world—

They came out of the Eclipse Gate!

This is a huge scam.

'poof'

Suddenly, Arugadius's body stiffened.

He looked down in disbelief and saw a black spear piercing through his chest.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Algadios was unable to turn around because he was blocked by the spear, but he had already guessed that the person who made the move must be the one who deceived the princess.

“That’s not something you should know,” the voice replied.

"You...you are!" Upon hearing that voice, Algadios, combined with his magic, immediately guessed the other party's identity!

But just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The opponent twisted the spearhead, widening the wound, before finally pulling out the spear.

'puff'

Arugadius fell to the ground, closing his eyes in resentment.

Before losing consciousness, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching slowly.

'clatter'

'clatter'

'clatter'

The sound of leather shoes.

The other person walked slowly and steadily.

Then, Algadius's consciousness faded into chaos as the footsteps receded into the distance.

the other side.

Princess Emerald and Defense Secretary Denton were explaining their plans in front of the Eclipse Gate.

Meanwhile, Lucy lost her right arm because of the future.

This resulted in a complete silence at the castle.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the deep darkness was slowly approaching.

“Your right hand.” Lucy didn’t know what to say.

"Can I see your right hand?" Future Lucy smiled.

Lucy reached out her hand.

In the future, Lucy fondly stroked the guild crest on the back of her right hand.

'Crack'

Naz clenched his teeth.

He knew how much Lucy valued the guild's emblem.

I still vividly remember how Lucy happily showed off her crest in front of him when she first joined the guild.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Gajeel suddenly issued a warning, but the next second, he was grabbed by the darkness and pressed against the wall, unable to move.

Everyone then came to their senses, only to find that the ceiling, walls, and floor were covered in darkness.

The darkness had taken control of everyone.

“This magic.” Gajeel narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized it, which was why he didn’t resist immediately.

'Gululu'

At the end of the corridor, black mist slowly enveloped the area.

Natsu sniffed and asked, "Rogge?"

"As expected of Mr. Natsu and Mr. Gajeel." The figures in the black mist appeared.

Compared to the more obedient Roger now, this Roger is much more rebellious, with black and white hair, tattoos on his face, and a dragon king smile at the corners of his mouth—a typical punk style.

“You are not the current Rogge,” Charlotte said.

“That’s right.” Future Rogue nodded: “I am Rogue from the future, or more precisely, Rogue from seven years in the future.”

“Besides me,” Future Lucy was shocked.

"Did you return through the Gate of Eclipse?" Gajeel asked.

“That’s right.” Future Roger nodded.

"Why?"

"In order to open the gate of the solar eclipse."

Rogge's future words silenced everyone.

“Rogge, do you know what you’re saying? Once this door opens, connecting to the past world, countless dragons will come to this era,” Gajeel said.

“I know,” Future Roger nodded.

"Then why would you do something like this?" Wendy asked angrily.

“This is the only way to prevent the world from being completely destroyed,” Future Roger said.

"What?" Everyone frowned. If the door wasn't opened, there would be no dragon, so how could there be any talk of destroying the world?

“I come from seven years in the future, from that destroyed world,” Future Rogue said. “Soon, Zeref will return to this world. No one knows how he will return, but he will bring about the end of the world.”

"And Acnologia, together they brought an end to human civilization."

Everyone listened to the news in shock.

"So—if we don't open the Eclipse Gate, we'll face Zeref and Acnologia, but if we do open the Eclipse Gate, I'll learn Dragon Slayer Magic, a magic only Dragon Slayer Mages know."

“I will hand them over to you, so that you can join me in controlling ten thousand dragons, and then attack Acnologia and Zeref.”

"I suppose even those two couldn't withstand ten thousand dragons."

Rogge's words in the future are quite reasonable.

However, there are some flaws.

Lucy asked first, "Then why did you open the Eclipse Gate in this era, instead of in yours?"

Future Rogue said, "Opening the Eclipse Gate requires a lot of magic power. Only by opening it now can we cross four hundred years of time. It's impossible for the era I'm in, seven years in the future. But we can summon all the dragons first, use their magic power, and then travel to seven years in the future. After we resolve this matter, we can send Mr. Natsu and the others back."

Everyone nodded slightly, understanding why Rogge had come to this era.

Gajeel then asked, "You mean Zeref has returned to this world? How did he come back to life?"
