A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

According to Lucy in black, after that, more and more people were affected by 'Nirvana', and it was a day later when she reappeared in front of the 'Guild Alliance' and others.

The effects of 'Nirvana' had not faded, and the allied forces remained wicked. However, perhaps because they considered 'betrayal' to be normal, they were indifferent to 'Lucy's betrayal of the allied forces' and 'Oracle Seis's escape,' still regarding her as a comrade.

After that, everyone returned to their respective guilds.

"When I got back to the guild, I realized that everything around me had changed during that time!"

Lucy in black had a dim look in her eyes and ran her hand through her long hair with lingering fear. “Everyone in the guild, the landlady, the fisherman… everyone’s personality has reversed. Good people have suddenly become bad people, and bad people have become good people and started doing good deeds. The whole of Magnolia has become like a city of sin!”

Hearing this, Kira felt he had guessed why Lucy had come here: she probably wanted to use the eclipse to change the past and get their world back on track.

As for why this Lucy knows about the Eclipse, it's not hard to figure out. After all, if the good and evil factions of all mages were reversed, it's very likely that all the members of the dark guilds would be on her side.

In this situation, it wouldn't be difficult for people like Brian, Precito, and Maldo to provide information about the eclipse, but there's still one problem!

"What about me? Have I turned bad too?"

Kira couldn't believe that someone as capable as himself could fall victim to such an attack.

It wasn't that he was arrogant; it was mainly because he had solved a problem that even Zeref couldn't, albeit by using a clever trick to remove the side effects, which was enough to make him proud.

If even he couldn't resist the unexpected 'Nirvana', then how terrifying would the follow-up actions that caused all this be?

"You're the worst one!"

"What?!"

Lucy looked at Kira with a strange gaze and said in an icy tone, "In less than three days, you have taken the chairman's position, even staged a coup to seize the mayor's position, and are now brazenly collecting protection money in Magnolia!"

Hmm... not surprising!

Kira narrowed his eyes, thinking that this was indeed very much in line with his own style. If he were to turn evil, he might actually do something like this!

"After your corruption, you became incredibly powerful; no one in the entire Kingdom of Fiore could rival you. Then, you began using human subjugation to recruit subordinates and even helped them unlock their second magical source, quickly amassing a large number of powerful followers. In just seven days, by enslaving everyone in the guild, you achieved absolute and terrifying rule over Magnolia and the surrounding cities."

"Then, relying on the resources and geographical location of these cities, they did not choose to expand their territory outwards, but their territory grew larger and larger, and in less than three months they occupied 70% of the land of the Kingdom of Fiore!"

Holy crap!! Am I really this crazy after turning evil?!

Kira froze, internally screaming at the situation.

"At this time, the Fiore royal family was no longer a good person. They became cruel and tyrannical, levying exorbitant taxes and brutally using their army to suppress all civilians who refused to submit to their rule. They also formed a force called the 'Old Kingdom' with some of the more well-known former guilds of light, such as 'Snake Princess Scale', 'Azure Pegasus', and 'Four-Headed Hound'."

"And you, leading Fairy Tail, absorbed hundreds of small magic guilds, treasure hunter guilds, mercenary guilds, as well as many civilians and some troops, forming another force known as the 'New Kingdom'."

"Finally, there is the third force, led by the 'Baram Alliance,' composed of mages from the former dark guilds. They are desperately holding up the last glimmer of light for the entire kingdom!"

"This force has almost no ordinary people; they are either mages, powerful mercenaries, or treasure hunters. But even the strongest force can't withstand the frequent use of human wave tactics by the two kingdoms, so they suffer the most casualties!"

Good heavens! I'm just speechless!

This has literally divided the Kingdom of Fiore into three parts!

Am I really that strong?!

Wow, so cool!

Chapter 698 The One Who Protects the World, The One Who Saves the World

Kira's eyes lit up as he imagined himself in another world, building a new kingdom on the territory of the Kingdom of Fiore, and how much income he could earn in a year.

That must be a very large amount of money...

This is what a man should do! !

Lucy in black knew what Kira was thinking just by looking at his expression, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If she hadn't known that this world's 'Nirvana' had already been destroyed, she would have suspected that Kira was about to do something shocking.

"And then? And then what??"

Kira had to admit that this world, which had been turned upside down by 'rebirth', was extremely interesting to him. Now that the selling point had arrived, he naturally couldn't wait to watch it.

"Does the story go on with me dominating everything, leading Fairy Tail to defeat the Old Kingdom and the Guild of Light, establishing a vast magical kingdom to rival the Alvarez Empire, and finally conquering the four continents of the East, West, North, and South with my talent and resources, becoming the master of the world?"

In Kira's view, as a transmigrator, having such a life trajectory was perfectly normal! What was this? This was the template for the male protagonist of a top-tier Western fantasy or light novel from Qidian!

As the male protagonist, how could he not ruthlessly unify the world, build a vast harem, and ultimately become a corrupt, shameless, and tyrannical ruler, spreading magic throughout the land? How could he possibly live up to his orphan origins? How could he possibly live up to his unparalleled handsome face? How could he possibly live up to his body with its extraordinary magical talent?!

however……

No! You're overthinking it!

Lucy in black waved her hand, bluntly denying everything Kira had imagined. After a moment of contemplation, she added, "Of course, it's not like you didn't achieve everything. In fact, you have already unified the Kingdom of Fiore."

"Oh, oh, oh!!! Just as I thought..."

Kira rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then wouldn't I be the king?!"

"Yes... tyrant..."

It seems Lucy's sarcastic personality hasn't changed...

"And then what?"

"Later, your tyranny was overthrown by us!"

"Huh?! How is this possible?! This is even stranger than me not unifying the kingdom, isn't it? How did you do it?!" Kira exclaimed in disbelief, staring at Lucy in black.

Didn't we unify the kingdom? Now that we've unified it, those 'Balam' and 'Old Kingdom' types must all be on our side. With our own methods, how could we possibly give them the chance to overthrow the kingdom?

There might only be one answer!

"You've hired outside help?"

Lucy in black smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "That's right! Fortunately, Maldo and Zeref made prior contact. Not long after you unified the kingdom, he led the army of the Alvarez Empire into Ishgar and rescued the few remaining black mages and demons from the Guild of Light!"

The dark mages and demons of the Guild of Light... Aren't you being a bit too forward with your words?

"In your words, it's like 'a great black mage returning home from a trip, only to find his child living in a doghouse, and in a fit of rage, leading hundreds of thousands of magical troops to raze the doghouse to the ground.'"

Kira remained expressionless: "..."

What other surprises do you have that I don't know about?

"Were Jelf and the others affected by 'Nirvana'?"

"I'm sorry, yes!"

Lucy in black closed her eyes and said with a sigh of relief, "But precisely because of this, we have gained a temporary respite and bought enough time for true peace to arrive."

"Um... Peace?? You didn't join a church, did you?"

Kira scratched his itchy scalp awkwardly, feeling that Lucy's eyes looked a little off when she said that.

Lucy in black did not answer Kira's question: "Zeref and his army are in a temporary stalemate with your army because they are stronger in terms of military strength, but your side is stronger in terms of high-end combat power."

"At that moment, someone no one expected appeared! He suppressed everyone in one fell swoop and completely destroyed your newly established kingdom."

A being capable of suppressing everyone? Who is so powerful? Could it be...?

Suddenly, an image flashed into Kira's mind: black wings that blotted out the sky, chaotic and disordered violent magic, a colossal creature engraved with strange patterns, and a mad roar that could shatter clouds and pierce rocks...

A scene he had witnessed before seemed to flash before his eyes, and then a familiar name escaped Kira's lips: "Acnologia..."

"Yes, it was Acnologia. He was also affected by 'Nirvana' and became a great dragon!"

Upon hearing this name, Lucy's eyes lit up with excitement. "His arrival disrupted the balance between the two great magical kingdoms and steered the world back toward the 'light,' so you failed."

Okay, it really is Acnologia! This guy's strength is a game-changer for everyone, so it's no wonder his kingdom fell apart... what a load of rubbish!!

"Why would 'Nirvana' work on Acnologia?! He's 'immune to magic'!! Your world's 'Nirvana' is just too ridiculous!"

Kira slammed his fist on the table and stood up in a fit of rage. "The duration is so long, the effect is so strong, the range of influence is so wide... it's all abnormal!!"

Why are you yelling so loudly?!

Lucy's temper flared up, and all the emotions she had been holding back exploded at that moment: "What kind of life do you think I was living during that time?"

“Every day when I woke up, I was either seeing my companions who had fallen into darkness or criminals doing good deeds. Do you know how painful it was for me, the only normal person, to live in that world where light and darkness were completely reversed?! Do you know how desperate I was about the future back then?!”

Fortunately, it was late at night and there was hardly anyone around, otherwise it would have caused quite a commotion. A tabloid story like "Popular mage Kira Hopelight gets into a heated argument with his female companion in a restaurant late at night" would be the least of it.

Kira was stunned by Lucy's shout in black. He thought about how pitiful she was. The world had inexplicably changed, her companions who she considered family had become villains, and he was the only one who retained his normal consciousness. He had to team up with a group of originally heinous villains to save the world...

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil... It's enough to drive me crazy!

This is certainly not a responsibility that an 18-year-old girl should bear.

"Sorry! Um, why don't you have some juice to calm down first..."

Lucy in black realized she had lost her temper and calmly sat down again: "No, I'm the one who should apologize to you. This has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have lost my temper!"

After taking two minutes to compose herself, Lucy in black continued the story.

"After Acnologia arrived, he immediately chose to join forces with Zeref. They used absolute force to subdue all the rebels in Ishgar and the Alvarez Empire, and also wiped out the evil Magic Council, and built Ishgar into a huge magic empire like the Alvarez Empire."

"After that, the two of them, along with Precito, Brian, August, Eileen, and others, began to search for a way to restore the world to normal, relying on their extraordinary magical knowledge."

"And so, a year passed, and we still knew nothing about the reasons for the changes in 'Nirvana,' and many people even began to accept this completely new world."

Kira noticed that Lucy's voice had become choked with sobs, yet still held a familiar stubbornness: "But I don't want to! I want everyone to return to normal! To let the world go back to how it was before!!"

"Fortunately, Jelf and Acnologia still support me. It is precisely because they firmly stand on my side that the people below have not raised any objections openly."

Even though Kira had anticipated this development when he heard about Zeref and Acnologia's reversal of good and evil, he was still shocked when he heard what Lucy said.

Black Dragon and Zeref join forces to manage two continents and maintain world peace, light, and justice.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Soon afterward, the voices calling for 'cancellation to restore the world to normal' grew louder and louder, and even Precito, Brian, Erin, and August abandoned their research one after another, which forced Jelf and Acnologia to take it seriously."

“They told me about these things, so I decided to launch a plan that had been proposed but quickly rejected: to use ‘eclipses’ to change the past.”

"Through my efforts, everyone finally agreed to the plan. However, in order to maintain the stability of the original world and to avoid causing too many changes to history, I am the only one who proposed the plan to use 'eclipse' to travel through time and space to find a solution to 'Nirvana'."

"As for the magic power needed to activate the 'Eclipse', it will be provided by all the mages on both continents, along with the 'Fairy Heart' that Prehito created through the 'Curse of Anxeram'."

Kira finally understood why Lucy was here.

It must be said, the map of the Yan Kingdom was really long.

"However, after I passed through the Gate of Eclipse, I found that I was not going to the past, but to a parallel world!"
