Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Such behavior is simply a fantasy.

But how could Lucy just stand by and watch her companion disappear before her eyes?

Loki was about to say something when Natsu and Happy pounced on him and grabbed him. "Stop joking, Loki! We're Fairy Tail mages! We'll never abandon any of our comrades!"

"Ai-yi!"

Seeing Natsu and Happy's actions, Erza took a step forward, but Hope pressed down on her shoulder. "Loki is right. You can't do this. Not only will you not be able to save him, but you will also lose your own lives."

Hearing Hope's calm voice, Loki, who had been anxiously waiting, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed there was still someone sober present. If it was Hope, he would definitely be able to stop Lucy and Natsu from doing something foolish.

However, what Hope said next left Loki dumbfounded.

Hope stepped forward and pulled Lucy away, then glanced at Natsu and Happy, who were burning something, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your brains? What's the point of just burning magic like this?"

Erza and Happy, one on each side, held down Natsu, who looked defiant. "Hope, you were the first to notice that something was wrong with Loki. Have you already thought of a way to save him?"

All eyes were on Hope.

Hope nodded. "Loki mentioned earlier that he forcibly replaced Aries Aries, who was summoned by Kallen. This suggests that the portal to the Star Spirits might be able to be forcibly opened by other Star Spirits."

Lucy immediately understood Hope's meaning. Without hesitation, she took out her key pouch, walked quickly to Loki, and pulled out the Taurus key.

"Loki, we will definitely bring you back to the Protoss Realm!"

"Open the door to Taurus! Talos!"

With a ding-dong sound, the stargate of Taurus appeared, and a minotaur in cow-colored clothing emerged halfway out, but Hope quickly pushed it back in.

Once the Protoss arrive in the human realm, the Stargate they opened will disappear.

As long as Hope keeps Talos trapped in the Starlight Passage, the Taurus Stargate will remain open until Lucy's magic runs out.

Talos poked his head out of the stargate, glanced at Hope in front of him with a puzzled look, and said to Lucy not far away, "Miss Lucy, your figure is as beautiful as ever. Also, could you please ask your companions not to block my door?"

Lucy facepalmed, almost forgetting that Talos was a lecherous bull. "Talos, I want to borrow your Stargate to send Loki... uh, I mean, Leo back to the Protoss Realm."

Following Lucy's pointing finger, Talos saw Loki, whose life was hanging by a thread. His bull-like eyes widened instantly. "Isn't this Leo? It's only been less than two weeks since I last saw him. How did you end up like this?"

Erza sensed something was wrong from Loki's words. "Wait, less than two weeks? But Loki has been in the human world for three years."

"Because the flow of time in the Celestial Spirit Realm is different from that in the human world, one day in the Celestial Spirit Realm is equivalent to three months in the human world."

As Talos explained, his eyes gradually turned into hearts as he looked at Erza. "Moo~ Another beautiful young lady. Could you please dance for a bit...?"

Before Talos could finish speaking, Hope, standing in front of him, blocked his view. "Talos, do you know about Leo?"

Tarot fell silent immediately.

As a fellow zodiac spirit, and Leo being the strongest gold spirit, how could it not have heard of Leo's ordeal? It was just trying to change the subject.

After all, the laws of the Protoss realm forbid the return of Protoss beings who harm their contractors; this was established by the supreme Protoss King...

Hope noticed Talos's hesitation and winked at him. "What are you hesitating about? Using your Stargate to send Leo back to the Protoss Realm is an order from your contractor, Lucy."

"What? Do you also want to rebel against Leo's previous contractor?"

Talos was just lustful; he wasn't stupid, and he understood Hope's meaning almost immediately.

The Protoss cannot disobey their contractors, which is undoubtedly an unfair rule for the Protoss, but the current situation provides a perfect excuse to send Leo back to the Protoss world.

Anyway, it was just carrying out Miss Lucy's orders.

The rules of the Celestial Spirit Realm don't apply to contractors, so what's there to worry about?

But wouldn't such behavior offend Lord Celestial Spirit King? After all, rules are just rules, but the Celestial Spirit King who issued them is a living being.

Seeing Talos hesitate, Hope smiled and played his trump card, "Talos, whether this succeeds or fails, I'll send you the most amazing photo book of beautiful women..."

"Moo~ Let's get started!"

Enthusiasm was indeed a great motivator. Talos was instantly energized, rubbing his hands excitedly to show that he was ready.

Seeing this, Erza and Natsu quickly helped Loki push him toward the Taurus Stargate. The group pushed hard from the outside, while Talos pulled hard from inside the starlight tunnel.

Although the Stargate acted like an invisible wall of air, keeping Loki out, through everyone's combined efforts, they managed to squeeze him in a little bit.

The repeated pushing and pulling caused Loki so much pain that tears streamed down his face. He looked utterly hopeless, thinking that if he had known it would turn out like this, he should have hidden somewhere else and waited to die...

But right now, all he wants is to help his companions survive, no matter what it takes, for Lucy!

Chapter 90 The Lion Returns to Heaven

The stargate trembled violently under the combined force of the group, emitting a blinding light. Loki's body sank even deeper into the stargate, but the resistance grew stronger and stronger.

Before everyone could even rejoice at the effectiveness of Hope's proposal, the stargate suddenly flickered.

Lucy's magic had reached its limit.

Ultimately, the Protoss Gate is merely a temporary passage connecting the human world and the Protoss realm, and the magical energy required to maintain its existence is considerable.

Lucy gritted her teeth and persevered, sweat streaming down her face, her legs trembling so badly she almost couldn't stand. She had finally seen a glimmer of hope; no matter what, she was determined to get Loki back to the Protoss world.

"Lucy, eat these first."

Hope took out a small bottle and tossed it to Lucy. Inside were the sunflower orbs of light she had collected over this period, but the magic they could provide Lucy would only be enough to keep the stargate running for about ten more minutes.

However, given Loki's current pace of advancement, ten minutes is merely a drop in the ocean.

"Lucy! Stop right now!"

Loki shouted anxiously, "If you force yourself to maintain magic when your magic is depleted, you'll develop magic deficiency!"

Magic Deficiency!

Everyone's hearts tightened. Magic deficiency syndrome is a deadly disease caused by the overuse of magic. The body can no longer absorb magic particles from the atmosphere, resulting in a painful death.

Upon hearing the name of the disease, Lucy couldn't help but recall her childhood, when her mother tragically passed away from this illness, after which her father's personality changed drastically, and his relationship with her became increasingly distant...

"Lucy, and everyone else, let go."

Loki looked at his companions, who still refused to give up, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes. He forced a smile, "I don't want to see you get hurt because of me. Don't make me commit even more sins..."

However, Loki's resigned attitude enraged Lucy. She grabbed Loki by the collar, "What crime have you committed?! It's clearly the Protoss realm that's been over-punishing you! That's why you're about to die now!"

"If this is the rule of the Protoss Realm, then let me change it!"

Upon hearing this, the Taurus Stargate suddenly trembled violently, and a powerful pressure emanated from the Protoss Realm, the immense force directly pushing Talos out.

The next second, the waterfall on the canyon cliff flowed backwards in an incredible way, and the originally azure sky suddenly turned into a starry night sky, with the enormous starlight energy condensing into a majestic figure that occupied the sky.

"No way..."

"How is that possible...?"

Loki and Talos stared in astonishment at the star giant in the sky; they never imagined their "king" would appear here.

Indeed, that towering figure that made heaven and earth change color was the strongest Star Spirit, and the supreme ruler of the Star Spirit Realm.

—The Celestial Spirit King!

When Lucy saw the Celestial Spirit King's gaze fixed on her, she felt a chill run down her spine. She had just said she wanted to change the rules of the Celestial Spirit Realm; had she offended this powerful figure...?

Is it too late to apologize now...?

"My old friend, we Protoss have a pact with humans that forbids us from harming our contractors..."

“Although Leo did not directly kill the contractor, he indirectly caused the contractor’s death, so I refuse to let him return to the Protoss Realm.”

The Celestial Spirit King's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Lucy felt the gaze of the star giant and realized that the "old friend" he was referring to was actually herself.

Although I don't know why, it seems that the Celestial Spirit King has no ill intentions towards me.

"Even if Leo did make a mistake, it was unintentional. He never intended to harm Karen. The punishment for him is far too harsh!"

Lucy mustered her courage and stood in front of Loki, facing the Celestial Spirit King's imposing aura directly. "When you made these rules, didn't you find them ridiculous?"

The Celestial Spirit King looked at Lucy, whose body was trembling slightly, and immediately withdrew his imposing aura. "My old friend, I understand your feelings and I am heartbroken for you... but the rules of the Celestial Spirit Realm cannot be changed."

"Don't bring up old friends! We're talking about my friends!"

Lucy waved her hand. "Kallen's incident was a tragic accident, and Loki suffered for three years because of it. But all he wanted was to protect his companions from further abuse, didn't he?!"

"You're saying Loki is guilty... I can't accept that!"

Seeing that Lucy was actually confronting the Celestial Spirit King head-on for his sake, Loki was moved but also worried about her. "Enough, Lucy. I don't want anyone's forgiveness. I just want to atone for my sins. Just let me disappear!"

"I won't allow it!"

For some reason, a surge of magic welled up within Lucy once again, and the gold and silver keys in her key pouch radiated a dazzling light.

The next instant.

Aquarius, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius, Homo sapiens, Southern Cross, Lyra, Canis Minor... plus Taurus, which was summoned earlier.

All the Celestials in Lucy's contract appeared around her.

They appeared silently and disappeared silently the next second, as if only to prove their support for Lucy.

With her magic drained, Lucy collapsed weakly, but she still stared intently at the Celestial Spirit King. "What crime is it to protect your companions? You saw it too, even my Celestial Spirit friends think the same way."

"You are the King of the Protoss, you should be able to understand how Aries felt when she was being abused, and you should be able to understand how Loki felt when he wanted to protect his comrades!"

This scene moved the Celestial Spirit King slightly, and he fell silent. After a moment, he spoke, "Since my old friend has gone to such lengths, then the only thing that can be wrong is the rules of the Celestial Spirit Realm."

"To protect Leo from Aries, and to protect Leo's old friend... given these two beautiful ties, I will re-examine this matter."

"Leo, you can return to the Protoss Realm now."

"If you still feel that you have not paid for your sins, then become the strength of my old friend, and protect her as she would have risked her life to protect you."

The Celestial Spirit King gave Lucy a kind smile, his imposing figure gradually disappeared, the world turned black and white again, and the canyon returned to calm, with only the sound of the waterfall remaining.

As the Celestial King departed, Loki sensed that the Celestial Realm no longer rejected him. A stargate bearing the Leo constellation appeared behind him, and starlight guided the weakened Loki back to the Celestial Realm.

The lion, fallen to earth... can finally return to its own starry sky.

Although the mistakes I made haven't disappeared, you've given me the courage to keep going. Thank you. From now on, I'll protect you.

Please take care of me from now on, Lucy.

The golden key representing Leo fell, conveying Loki's thoughts. Lucy looked at the key in her hand, a smile appearing on her face.

"Please give me more advice."
