Too many factors led to numerous internal conflicts within humanity, and ultimately, just a few years after the end of the war between humans and dragons, various human factions began to fight each other.

War has once again swept across the world.

The Nebbit tribe is a peace-loving tribe. After the war between humans and dragons ended, they grew tired of war and created a magical mobile city, retreating into the mountains far from human cities, wanting to stay away from the conflicts of the newly emerging humans.

But those who could create such amazing creations had long been targeted by ambitious individuals who wanted to enslave the Nebites and use their technology to build mobile war fortresses.

But one person's actions shattered the ambitions of those who coveted it.

Robin Lu, chieftain of the Nebit tribe.

One of the strongest mages 400 years ago.

After this experience, Robin realized that avoidance could not bring peace, so he wanted to create a magic that could eliminate malice in people's hearts in order to stop wars around the world.

And so, the super transformation magic "Nirvana" was born.

However, everything has two sides. When a powerful force appears, its opposite force will inevitably emerge. Nirvana can transform the darkness in people's hearts into light, but at the same time, the originally bright heart will also be eroded by darkness.

Darkness gives birth to light, and light gives birth to darkness.

Black and white can never devour each other; this is the balance of the world.

However, Robin and the Nebbit tribe overlooked this point when creating "Nirvana," so when they first activated "Nirvana," the kind and peace-loving Nebbit tribe turned into demons.

A hellish scene unfolded.

This magic, which was so highly anticipated, failed to bring peace to the world. Instead, it became the cause of the Nebbit's demise. Corrupted by darkness, the Nebbit perished in their infighting.

In the end, only Robin, the strongest member of the Nebbit tribe, survived.

Although he regained consciousness, Robin Lu's body was severely damaged in the infighting with his tribe, and his life was on the verge of ending.

But the enormous mistake of 'Nirvana' has not yet been resolved, and the remains of his people have not yet found peace; he cannot die like this.

Robin Luke then used all his remaining magic to create a "Thought Body," after which his original body died from its severe injuries.

Robin, whose will is completely consistent with his physical body, discovers after burying all his clansmen that his magic power can only stop "Nirvana" at most, and cannot completely destroy this super magic.

After stopping "Nirvana" and sealing it beneath the Sea of ​​Vas, Robin waited for someone capable of destroying "Nirvana" and worthy of his trust to appear.

This wait lasted for four years.

The wind blew across the ancient square, ruffling Wendy's deep blue hair. Her eyes were wide open, filled with shock and bewilderment.

Everyone fell silent, staring in disbelief at the kind old man before them, trying to process this story that had lasted for four hundred years.

Robin Lu let out a deep breath. "Now that 'Nirvana' is no longer possible to restart, my mission as a thought form is complete."

As the old man's voice faded, the villagers behind him suddenly turned into light and disappeared into thin air, one by one.

"What's going on?!"

"Everyone!"

"Don't disappear—!"

"Stop!"

Wendy and Charlotte stared in panic at their vanished companions. They rushed forward to grab them, but their fingers touched only empty illusions.

"Hope! What's going on? Quickly, use your invincible power to think of a solution!" Lucy was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. "Otherwise, Wendy's companions will be gone!"

The others looked over as well, helpless in the face of this sudden turn of events, forced to watch helplessly. But Hope might be different...

Sensing the anxious looks from the crowd, Hope sighed slowly, "They are people who never existed in the first place, how can you expect me to help them?"

"What are you talking about! Aren't they standing right in front of you? We even had a banquet together yesterday!" Natsu said, somewhat annoyed by Hope's coldness.

Erza restrained the impulsive Natsu and explained to her companions, "When we arrived yesterday, Hope told me that all these villagers are Thought Creatures..."

"Thought Form" is a very powerful magic spell; it can vividly replicate the character the caster desires.

However, maintaining so many thought entities requires far more magic power than ordinary people can afford; even a mage of Jura's caliber would find it impossible.

Moreover, Robin is essentially a being of thoughts.

Just as everyone was questioning Hope's judgment, Robin spoke up, "To think I saw through it! These young people these days are truly surpassing their teachers. Wendy, I'm sorry, I lied to you..."

"Over the past seven years, apart from Xia Lulu, every companion you have seen has been a thought form created by me."

Seven years ago, a young boy and a little girl broke Robin's four-hundred-year-long loneliness. He was touched by the sincerity in the boy's eyes and agreed to take care of the little girl.

Because the little girl said her brother would take her to a mage guild.

So, in order not to hurt the little girl, Robin, who was already a being of longing, used magic to create dozens more of the longing forms of his former clansmen, and formed the "Demon Cat's Lodge".

This is a guild that exists for Wendy.

To maintain so many thought entities, Robin's magical power was almost completely depleted; otherwise, he could have wiped out the Oración Seis by himself without needing the guild alliance.

Robin's body began to emit a faint light, and its outline became somewhat blurry and transparent.

"Grandpa Chairman?!"

Wendy gasped and tried to rush over, but her wrist was grabbed. She turned around and saw that it was Xia Lulu, who was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Charlotte's voice was low, "Wendy... the student council president needs to rest..."

Robin Lue's gaze fell tenderly on Wendy, as if he wanted to imprint her image deeply. "Wendy, it's so wonderful to have met you. You are the most precious gift in my long years of waiting."

“It’s time to leave us, these false companions,” Robin said, pointing to the guild alliance. “Because you now have true companions.”

Wendy's tears welled up. She wanted to say something, but her throat felt blocked. She could only cry and rush to her grandfather, the president, wanting to hug him one last time.

However, the small figure pierced through the old man's increasingly transparent body. Robin looked at the crying Wendy, and although he was very reluctant, he still managed a smile.

"Wendy, don't be sad. For me, this is the long-awaited rest. My soul can finally be reunited with my people."

Robin Luke then looked at everyone, "I'm entrusting Wendy and Charlotte to you all..."

Chapter 152 No One Is Allowed to Die, Rewards Must Be Given First

Just as Robin was about to dissipate, a hand suddenly pressed down on his illusory body, and a powerful surge of magic instantly flooded into his mental form, forcibly interrupting his self-dissolution.

Hope, who had drawn a large amount of magic power through the "Arch of the Great Tree," looked down at Robin, who was looking bewildered, grabbed his shoulder with an annoyed expression, as if afraid he would run away.

"If Wendy wants to hug you, then hug her before you leave."

"And another thing, we've taken care of this troublesome thing called 'Nirvana' for you, and you old man, you're trying to die without even getting any real benefit from it."

Is this appropriate?

"Of course it's not appropriate, so I advise you, old man, if you still have anything valuable, to take it out and distribute it to us all before you die."

Robin was stunned when he saw Hope acting like he was collecting a debt.

Wendy, who was originally in tears, was also stunned.

The others were also dumbfounded and stood frozen in place.

Although everyone understood that Hope wanted Robin to stay a little longer, his actions were just too... too bandit-like.

However, Hope really wanted to rob someone.

He originally planned to take advantage of Robin Lue after he admitted to being a thought entity, but the old man immediately self-destructed after revealing the truth.

So Hope immediately got angry.

Feeling Hope's fingers tightening around his shoulder, Robin was both amused and exasperated. What was going on...?

"Alright, young man, using 'Tree Arc' to draw out a large amount of earth magic is a heavy burden on the body. The magic you poured into my body is enough for me to last another hour."

Only after hearing what the old man said did Hope release his grip.

As for the pressure that a large amount of magic power puts on the body? It's completely negligible for a body strengthened by magnetic field power.

Wendy felt that Grandpa President had materialized again, and she quickly hugged him.

Robin comforted the little girl with a kind expression. Actually, what Hope said made sense. There was no need to leave so suddenly. At least Wendy and Charlotte should have some time to adjust and prepare themselves mentally.

“Young man, as you can see, I am just an old man, and my only wealth is this small village. I really have nothing to offer you as a reward.”

Seeing Robin look over, Hope smiled slightly, "What I want is your magical knowledge. Of course, 'Nirvana' is out of the question. I prefer to take what I need and have no interest in that half-baked super magic."

Robin nodded. Although he was just a thought being, his knowledge was among the best in that era of geniuses more than 400 years ago.

However, he only has one hour, which is not enough time to impart all the knowledge, and this thought body cannot withstand a second infusion of magic.

Hope chuckled. Since he was going to fleece Robin Lue, how could he not be prepared?

Hope suddenly appeared in front of Hibiki, a member of Blue Pegasus, and said, "Hey you... Karen's ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend, hurry up and cast your spell."

"Mr. Hope, could we please not bring this up...?"

Hibiki looked embarrassed, but still released his magic 'Ancient Scripture'.

Hope patted him on the shoulder, and the system immediately added the 'Ancient Scripture' magic to his account. "You're a good person. I believe you'll definitely find someone who truly loves you."

After giving out the "friend zone" card, Hope turned and left, leaving behind a figure who didn't know what expression to make.

In front of everyone, Hope took out a large magic crystal from his magic space and the moment his palm touched it, a magic computer made of magic appeared in front of him.

"It can actually copy other people's magic!"

"Is this why Hope is so amazing?"

Jura and Ichiya were somewhat taken aback, but Natsu and the others seemed quite used to it, after all, they had rushed up to "sell" their magic back then.

As Hope approached, Robin Lue understood that he intended to receive his knowledge through the "ancient texts." Since he could pass on his knowledge, why shouldn't he?

By connecting to the 'Ancient Documents,' Robin Lue transmitted his knowledge into Hope's magic, much like sending a file via Bluetooth. Of course, magical transmission is much faster than real Bluetooth, and at least there's no need to worry about sudden data loss.

Robin Lue truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful being capable of creating "Nirvana." His vast knowledge took a full twenty minutes to complete the transmission.

"Thank you so much, senior. We will definitely take good care of Wendy," Hope said solemnly to Robin.

Robin didn't care, but he did have a question for Hope: "The aura of dragon-slaying magic on you seems familiar. Is it from a wise dragon?"

"Do you know Bercelion?"

Robin did not deny it, so Hope briefly recounted his, Erza's, and Belserion's experiences.

Upon hearing that there was another being who had existed for over 400 years, just like himself, Robin was deeply moved. He regretted not having gone out for a while; perhaps he could have caught up with Belserion.

Erza inquired about her mother, Irene, from Robin, but unfortunately, Robin had only heard of Irene as the "Mother of Dragon Slayers" and had never met her.
