Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

The next second, the Philosopher's Stone shone brightly.

Acnologia's body stiffened abruptly, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

"I see... My soul is still not strong enough compared to this body, but that stone can only put me into a three-day slumber at most. After three days, it will be your death day."

He murmured softly, his voice growing fainter and fainter, becoming increasingly indistinct.

Just as his soul was about to be forced into slumber, Acnologia finally remembered where he had seen the mysterious man's eyes before.

"It's actually you!"

"Hope's...red-haired...woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes completely lost their light.

Acnologia's consciousness remained dormant, her body motionless, like a statue.

Lucifer's soul emerged from the mysterious man's mechanical arm and entered Acnologia's body, instantly bringing the black dragon back to life.

It looked at the mysterious person, but spoke in a woman's voice: "The black dragon is finally in our hands. Can your body still hold up, Erza?"

The mysterious figure removed her helmet, revealing a head of signature long, crimson hair. Erza looked exhausted. "Even though everyone gave me all their magic, controlling four dragon kings is really exhausting..."

Just as Lucifer, who had temporarily taken over Acnologia's body, was about to say something, the girl in black armor suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then her whole body visibly weakened.

"Hey! Hang in there!"

Lucifer caught the swaying Erza with his claws. "If you fall now, how am I supposed to avenge Mirajane?"

"Your man will be killed by those two gods, just like before!"

Upon hearing Lucifer mention that person, Erza mustered her strength and used the mechanical right arm that Athena had given her before her death to cast a "healing spell" on herself, forcibly keeping her battered body functioning.

"Although the matter of the Kingdom of Stella has been delayed for a few days, it has given us the opportunity to control the Black Dragon and the Water Dragon."

"Hope should be back at the guild by now, preparing to head to Alvarez."

"We don't have much time left."

Erza, a "survivor" who returned to the present from the future, gradually hardened her gaze. Alvarez was now a trap set for Hope.

She will never forget that day.

Hope is unable to use magnetic field power for some unknown reason.

He was ambushed and killed by Ankhseram and another unknown god, and his body was reduced to countless fragments and disappeared from the world, leaving no trace of his body.

The two gods then used a bloody massacre to announce to the world the return of divine rule.

Makarov, Mirajane, Cana, Natsu, Lucy, Gray... everyone in the guild is dead.

Acnologia, the only hope to defy the gods, was ultimately destroyed when the gods attacked him at the soul level, resulting in his soul's demise and his body's destruction.

The three continents were shattered, and the world's population plummeted by 70%.

The Athena sisters collected the magic of their companion and, at the cost of their lives, forged Acnologia's corpse into a suit of armor that could resist magic.

The magic-immune armor has the side effect of constantly draining the user's life force and being impossible to take off once worn, but Erza still put it on without hesitation.

With the help of the Celestials, Erza and the soul of Lucifer successfully evaded the gods' pursuit and entered the Eclipse Gate to return to the present.

This time, she is determined to change that hopeless future!

Chapter 394 Good weather for setting sail, stormy weather for family reunion

White clouds drift lightly, the sea is calm.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, swept over us, while sunlight shone on the shimmering surface of the sea.

A specially designed magically powered sailing ship, flying the Fairy Tail flag, departed from Hargeon Port and is rapidly sailing towards the western continent.

The ship was specially commissioned by Makarov after the guild was no longer short of funds. Although it cannot compare to the royal family's luxury cruise ships, it is sturdy and durable, and is equipped with special navigation magic devices, which are sufficient for ocean voyages.

"Ah~"

"What perfect weather for a sea trip!"

Hope bit the straw, sipping Mirajane's chilled drink while watching the three Dragon Slayer Mages slumped half-dead on the ship's edge.

Although they looked like they were in excruciating pain, Natsu and Gajeel still mustered all their strength to give Hope the middle finger.

Hope shrugged.

Sorry, not getting seasick means you can do whatever you want.

To his surprise, Wendy, the little girl lying next to the two, had started to get motion sickness. It seemed that her trip to the Northern Continent had been very fruitful.

Hope snapped her fingers and used "Enchanting Spell" to relieve Wendy's seasickness; after all, children need to be taken care of a little.

As for Natsu and Gajeel... let's just forget about those two idiots.

Letting them recover their energy would be too much of a commotion on the ship, so let them continue to be seasick. Consider it a special training program tailored to help them adapt to motion sickness.

It's definitely not because those two idiots just gave Hope the middle finger and Hope is now deliberately retaliating.

Is he such a petty and narrow-minded person?

Wendy took the juice Charlotte handed her, gulped it down, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm alive again! Getting motion sickness is terrifying. I don't know how Natsu and the others managed to get through it before..."

"Yes! We know."

Happy, who was discussing with Riki whether fish or kiwi was tastier, raised his paw and said, "Natsu is just putting on a brave face. Anyway, getting motion sickness won't kill him."

Lili, munching on his favorite food, a kiwi, thought that Happy's request made a lot of sense, so he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​pleading with Hope.

"Gajeel, hold on with all your might!"

Upon hearing his cat cheering him on, Gajeel felt a wave of dizziness.

Seeing that his best friend was even more uncomfortable than he was, Natsu immediately felt much better, and the seasickness seemed to lessen.

Hope, not one to shy away from stirring things up, chimed in, "Gajeru, perk up, don't embarrass yourself!"

Gajeel: Blanch!

Levy and Lucy sat together reading Lucy's new novel, completely oblivious to how their two companions, whose relationship had progressed beyond friendship, were doing.

Erza, who was sunbathing on the deck, was annoyed by the seasickness groans of the two men and asked Hope to take care of them.

The Queen has spoken, so what can Hope say but do as she's told?

Seeing the two Dragon Slayer Mages regain their energy, Mirajane chuckled, "But Hope, why didn't you use 'Water Wings' to teleport us to the Western Continent?"

"Hey, you don't understand."

Kana leaned closer and said, "It's no fun if we always use magic to skip the journey, right? It's okay to go on a normal trip once in a while."

Hope, standing nearby: Is that what I meant?

He simply felt that traveling without taking a bus or similar mode of transportation was incomplete...

"A pair".

"I'm sorry."

"Three with one".

"I blow up!"

Hearing the sounds of people playing cards on the other side, Hope looked angrily at the third person who was playing cards with Mebius and Makarov, "Hades, what are you doing, old man, shamelessly sticking your nose onto the ship?"

"I paid," Hades replied calmly, slapping four twos across Makarov's face. "My foolish disciple, you've lost again. Remember to bring me another copy of your collection of Passion Magazine when you get back."

Makarov: Even though you're a teacher, you shouldn't say that in front of so many people...

The number of people going to the Alvarez Empire this time was about the same as the number going to the continent of Kirtina, twelve people in total, except that Gray and Juvia were missing and were replaced by Mebis and Makarov.

Gray and Juvia both gave up the publicly funded trip because Silver had called them to train in demon-slaying magic.

Unexpectedly, after learning that Hope had the ability to resolve the "Contradictory Curse," Hades actually paid out of his own pocket to go to the Western Continent with her, saying that he was going to find a very important person.

Mebius and Makarov asked him who the man was, but the old man wouldn't say.

Hope hated riddles the most, so she secretly used her mind-reading ability to learn Hades' secret that had been hidden for nearly ninety years.

Who would have thought that Hades went to the Western Continent to find a "child" he had abandoned in the past?

But that "child" wasn't even his.

It's from Mebius...

Who would have thought that Mavis, who looks like a little child, is actually a centenarian woman with a "child" of similar age to Makarov?

Most importantly, she, as a mother, didn't even know she had given birth or that the child existed... which is why Hope still looks at Mavis with a somewhat strange gaze.

It seems that Elsa wasn't the only one who reunited with family on this trip to Alvarez.

Chapter 395 Galakrond Island

Between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent lies a vast ocean.

This ocean is not a barren wasteland. Several islands scattered among the blue waves are like rest stops carefully arranged by nature, providing supplies, rest, and entertainment for passing ships.

Some islands are famous for their natural hot springs, some attract tourists with their exotic animals, and some are simply casinos floating on the sea.

Sandwiched between two behemoths, some of these islands maintained neutrality, but many more chose the protection of the Alvarez Empire.

The reason is simple: others were able to unify the western continent.

In contrast, the Eastern Continent was still fragmented and divided among various warlords. Although the continent of Ishgar appeared to be peaceful on the surface, there were many small conflicts between the various countries.

Even the Kingdom of Ofire, which is a permanently neutral country, occasionally has minor conflicts with its neighbors.

Due to a combination of factors, Ishgar didn't even have a single force that could truly represent the entire continent.

If we had to name a representative force, it wouldn't be those nations, but rather the Magic Council of Ishgar...

Between the East and West continents, the choice is self-evident.

"Galakol Island is just ahead."

Hope stood at the bow of the ship, holding a slightly creased nautical chart in his hand. It was the travel itinerary he had prepared before setting off, and the first stop was Galakrond Island.

"According to the travel guides I've collected, the island ahead has the best ice cream shop on the entire flight route!"
