Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Chapter 187 Unfinished Fate

Hope noticed that Natsu and Happy stiffened slightly when they saw Lisanna, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Lisanna was Natsu's best friend after joining the guild. Together with Natsu, they found Happy, who was still an egg, and watched Happy hatch.

For this person and their cat, the unfortunate passing of Lisanna was a lifelong regret.

Now, in another world, seeing another living Lisanna, it's normal for them to be moved.

Because she was Mirajane's sister, Hope looked her over a few times.

Upon closer inspection, Hope realized something was amiss.

This Lisanna was emanating subtle magical energy fluctuations. These fluctuations did not originate from magical artifacts, but rather, like those of mages in Aslant, were formed by the faint fluctuations of magical energy flowing within their bodies.

Hope called out to Natsu, "Natsu, Happy, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"After our Lisanna died, is her body still there?"

What a rude question.

But Natsu knew Hope wasn't someone who asked without thinking; there must be a reason. He replied in a low voice, "Of those missions to defeat the Beast King, only Mirajane and Elfman returned. They said Lisanna's body turned to light and disappeared..."

"In the end, all we could do was build her a cenotaph. We miss her so much... Natsu." Recalling the sad events, Happy, the usually optimistic little cat who was fearless even when it came to courting death, couldn't help but shed tears.

It turns out that Lisanna of Aslant has already...

The Fairy Tail No. 2s around him were heartbroken, and even Natsu's joy at soloing the Despair Royal Guard was overshadowed.

Fairy Tail of Edolas, having been wanted by two rulers, Faust and Hopeless, lost many companions during their years on the run, so they can understand Natsu and Happy's feelings at this moment.

Lisanna felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the strange look in the eyes of her unfamiliar companion named Hope.

Did he discover it?

But what would happen to Edolas's sister and brother if the truth were revealed? Their sister wasn't as lucky as he was; she was truly dead...

Hearing her troubled words, Hope thought for a moment but decided not to reveal what Lisanna was hiding, deciding to keep it as a surprise for Mirajane later.

Changing the subject, Hope looked at the white-bearded old man and said, "Oh dear, I forgot about you. Isn't this the bastard king of Mystogan?"

"Huh? He's Mystogan's father?"

Natsu's low spirits were immediately replaced by curiosity. He recalled the revelation from Mystogan, "Then isn't this old man the same person as our guild leader Edolas?"

"Oh dear, this is really hard to accept."

Happy stood on Natsu's shoulder, and both the human and the cat gave Faust a disdainful look.

Makarov without the Mediterranean Sea is soulless!

And he has so much hair!

Seeing Wendy and Charlotte looking at him curiously, Faust's face twitched. "Who is Mistgang? I don't have such a son."

"Of course you can say no, after all, he was abandoned by you, his father, when he was a child, wasn't he?"

Hope sneered. He had only heard about this from Mistgang's inner voice because he was being nosy.

It's hard to imagine how mentally unstable Faust must have been at the time. As the king of a human kingdom, he couldn't tolerate the existence of a child, especially his own son.

"You mean Gerald?"

Faust finally realized who Mystergan was that Hope was talking about. "That rebellious son has prevented the Anima from stealing magic from your world many times over the years. I should have strangled him myself back then."

What a terrible father.

Hope thought that Ivan, whose father was already the worst of the worst, was already thinking about digging up the Laxus Dragon Slayer Crystal to sell for money, but she didn't expect there to be another expert.

That's true. Many people in this world have personalities that are completely opposite to their counterparts. Makarov values ​​his family as much as Faust treats his relatives.

Hope didn't want to say another word to Faust. He took out a blank card. Of course, he should give such a great father the same treatment as Ivan.

With a flash of light, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as they watched Hope casually collect the living, breathing Faust into a small card.

Is this Aslant's "magic"?

Compared to them, Edolas's "magic" relying on props is far inferior...

Suddenly, Lili pointed his greatsword directly at Hope, shouting, "Release His Majesty!"

Looking at the magic greatsword so close at hand, Hope seemed to have no sense of crisis at all. She raised her head and looked through the greatsword to meet Lili's resolute gaze.

"What a loyal big cat."

“Pansa Lili, you should have repaid Faust for taking you in long ago, shouldn’t you have repaid him enough for all these years of working for him?”

Lili is silent. It was once a member of Extania and the strongest warrior, but it was banished from its home by the Queen of the Beyonders for saving a human child.

It was Faust who took it in.

Although Lili knew that the other party was after his martial prowess, he still felt grateful to Faust.

But as Hope said, after so many years, the so-called gratitude has long since been exhausted.

Moreover, Faust had been secretly planning to deal with the Kingdom of the Beyonders all along. Although he was expelled, Extania was still his homeland no matter what.

As the black cat slowly lowered its greatsword, Hope smiled. "Mystogan, no, it should be Gerald. Perhaps he will soon be able to thank you in person for saving his life."

"The prince! He's back?!"

Lili looked surprised. The child he had rescued years ago, even after being expelled from his home, was none other than Mistgang, who had been abandoned by Faust.

Even the reason Mystogan was able to go to Aslant was because of Rili's help; he secretly sent him in when the Anima was activated.

Hope nodded. "Yes, and after Mystergan arrived in Aslant, he, like you, helped a helpless and destitute child."

Following Hope's gaze, Lili saw Wendy holding Charlotte, and it seemed as if it saw again the little boy who jumped into Anima without hesitation to stop his bastard father's mistake.

Hope clapped her hands. "Alright everyone, get ready and let's head to the capital. I'm really looking forward to seeing my other self."

What should we do with these people?

Natsu, unusually quick-witted, pointed at the army of the Despair Emperor and said, "If we leave so many people unattended, wouldn't it be troublesome if they turned into enemies later?"

Hope smiled slightly and stepped forward.

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from his body, and the overwhelming power caused the floating island beneath his feet to tremble violently.

"I'll give you two choices."

"Either die."

"Either abandon darkness and embrace the light, and kneel at the feet of this 'Emperor of Hope'."

Chapter 188 Prisoners in the Dark Prison

Forced by Hope's "domineering aura".

With Hugh Boy, the desperate captain of the royal guard, kneeling first and then following suit, all the kingdom's troops present had switched sides and were just short of shouting their loyalty.

Many of them had defected from Faust's forces to Despair's, so they felt no guilt about switching sides now.

Moreover, compared to the renunciation of darkness from Faust to Hopleth, submitting to the "Hope Emperor" is akin to abandoning darkness for light.

Unfortunately, Hope only wanted to be their temporary leader and experience what it was like to be the Golden Sun.

As a Skyline player, and after personally experiencing the unruly nature of the Magnetic World, he had absolutely no interest in becoming a ruler.

Hope used magic to rewrite the Despair Emperor emblem on the four ships into a flying fairy pattern. Then she called everyone to board the ships. The Fairy Tail members boarded one ship, and the remaining soldiers were divided among the other three.

The moment Natsu stepped onto the spaceship, he collapsed to the ground, looking extremely uncomfortable.

In contrast, Natsu II changed his previous cowardly attitude and became assertive. He excitedly ran to the spaceship's control panel and touched the complicated instruments like a freak.

Hope and Happy marveled at the sight.

Levy 2 explained, "Our Natsu's personality changes drastically when he gets on a vehicle. In this state, he even dares to lay a hand on Lucy, who is usually terrified of him."

Hope, however, wasn't surprised. Her own Natsu had certainly made his fair share of unwanted advances towards Lucy; the only difference between him and Natsu 2.0 was that one did it on the vehicle, and the other off...

Amidst Natsu II's excited cheers, the spaceship started up and flew at an extremely fast speed towards the royal capital of the human kingdom.

As Hope admired the unique scenery of this world, she used magic to grab Hugh Boy from the spaceship behind her.

Hope wanted to hear from the only person present who had had a significant interaction with Hopeless about his former boss.

"You're asking about this?"

After a moment's thought, Hugh Boyle cautiously replied, "Actually, I don't think Hopeless is a bad person..."

Hope was somewhat surprised. "Why do you think so?"

Seeing Hope adopting the domineering posture of a superior, Hugh Boyle relaxed a bit and continued, "Since Hope became the ruler, although his repressive policies have caused widespread fear among the people, he has also punished many corrupt officials and revoked the malpractices of the Faustian era..."

He used high-pressure policies on one hand and vigorously rectified the officialdom on the other. Judging from the latter alone, he was a wise king. If you add the former, he was definitely a dictator.

Hope suddenly felt a little confused. Despair would be more likely to grow under the rule of a dictator. Was her other self trying to harvest despair in exchange for more power?

In less than four months, Hopeless transformed from an ordinary person into the fearsome Despair King, which can be said to be entirely due to the ancient crystal that could convert "despair" into power.

But everything has its limits. No matter how incredible something is, it will eventually come to an end. And Edolas's magic is almost exhausted.

According to Hugh Boyle, Hopleth was still creating a sense of despair. What was he trying to do?

Humanity's Kingdom.

King's capital.

The once bustling metropolis, now filled with desolation under the rule of the Despairing Emperor, is a place that was once teeming with people.

Pedestrians hurried along the street, not daring to linger.

In the square, there stands a huge mountain of magic crystals, which is the magic power that 'Anima' plundered from Aslant half a day ago.

If it were during Faust's reign, the people would certainly have cheered and publicized the king's attack, but everything was different after the Desperate Emperor came to power.

No one would be happy about the magic they plundered; they were more afraid of being captured and used as batteries in the Black Tower for celebrating their looting.

In the city center, a 30-meter-high black tower stands tall.
