A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Was this motive intentional or accidental? If intentional, what was the purpose? To plunge the world into chaos? If accidental, what caused this change? And why didn't anyone come forward to explain after the incident?

Second, who has this ability?

It's important to understand that ordinary magic is almost ineffective against dragons, especially Acnologia. Therefore, for 'Nirvana' to affect Acnologia, it must have involved dragon-slaying magic! Where did this dragon-slaying magic come from?

But how terrifying would the magical power required to amplify 'Nirvana' to the point where it could influence beings like Zeref and Acnologia, who are practically at the pinnacle of world power? And where would that magical power come from?

Finally, why does the 'Eclipse Gate' connect to parallel worlds?

To deceive Zeref, the original designer, how advanced would his knowledge and magic need to be? Does such a person truly exist in that world? What was the reason for modifying the 'Eclipse Gate'? Was it to banish Lucy, this outcast?

There are just too many possibilities. Without calming down and spending a long time carefully studying them, you simply won't find a reasonable answer.

Faced with Mavis's question, Kira remained silent for a moment before hesitantly giving the only answer he could think of at the moment.

"In fact, I suspect that the anomalies in World One are related to the opening of parallel worlds!"

In Kira's memory, the original work did not have the concept of 'parallel worlds'. According to his own experience, the concept was related to 'a Kira from another world using an eclipse to send an android to this world, causing time travel to become a parallel world'. In other words, it was a butterfly effect he caused.

and so……

Am I actually the most unstable element in the multiverse?

Kira suddenly felt like he was receiving the same treatment as Doctor Strange.

"Is it related to the opening of parallel worlds...? That sounds quite plausible..."

"But why was it opened?"

Mavis was puzzled and shook her head, looking adorable; Makarov frowned in thought, touched his head, and looked bald; Kira stood between the two, scratched his head, and pretended to know nothing.

……

"Finally! Finally!! Finally!!!"

"We've arrived at the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games!!!"

Host Chapati sported a brand new hairstyle today—long, straight, jet-black hair—making her look incredibly trendy: "Before the competition begins, let's review the scores, rankings, and remaining members of each guild so far!! (See Chapter 695)"

Amidst the expectant gazes of the audience and mages, Chapati announced today's schedule.

"Today's competition theme is 'speed racing'!!"

The moment they saw this project, almost everyone understood the rules.

"A race... a speed race? If it were us, we'd definitely send Laxus, right?"

Laxus nodded slightly upon hearing this. He considered himself the fastest man in the guild, even faster than Sarusuk, who used the 'Divine Speed ​​Magic'. Naturally, he would not hesitate to participate in such a competitive event.

After all, none of the remaining members of the team who can participate in competitive mode, whether it's Kira, Mira, or Cana, are known for their speed.

On the other side, another man, who also considered himself the fastest, stepped forward without hesitation.

"I've said it before, having me as a substitute is far better than having Sora as a substitute!"

Sawyer adjusted his sunglasses on his pointed nose, grinned, and crossed his arms, looking smug.

In terms of speed, no one in the entire Sin of Witches can match him; even Jellal's Meteor might not be able to catch up with him.

"Isn't your magic just supposed to reduce people's physical sensations? These guild members are no ordinary people. Are you sure this kind of debuff magic will work?"

Sora raised her head defiantly, puffing out her chest like a proud and noble white swan.

"You think everyone's like you, just wasting their time doing nothing for the past two years? I've learned quite a few speed-enhancing spells, and by combining their strengths and integrating them, I've created a completely new speed magic!!"

"I'm not like you, who just fights with cards made by other people!!"

What?! You actually said that about me?!

Sora's beautiful face changed instantly, and she was filled with anger. Her chest throbbed with pain, and she had difficulty breathing. She stammered for a long time, unable to speak. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't refute at all.

Because she is indeed lazy and loves to eat, she has fattened herself up over the past two years, and her development is even faster than that of Melty, who is still growing.

Fortunately, the meat grew in the right places.

What stands out is his talent!

"Odo—!"

"It is worth noting that, because 'Raven's Tail' has already eliminated four people in the Duel mode over the past three days, and the remaining two have both participated in the Arena mode, no one can participate in this competition!"

Upon hearing this, the audience finally realized the meaning behind the competition's 'elimination mechanism'.

"No one's playing? How embarrassing!"

"Well, we were never a favored guild to begin with, so who would want to watch us play or not?"

"That's true, but we only have one person left to play..."

Besides 'Raven's Tail' having no one left to use, 'Blue Pegasus', who was eliminated four times and ranked seventh, only has one last candidate left to play, and that candidate is someone who has not yet played.

"By the way, who is our replacement?"

"I don't know, it seems like I've never seen him before..."

"I heard that Brother Yi Ye specifically recommended him to the guild leader, so he should be very strong, right?"

Hibiki, Ren, Ivan, Jenny, and the others all looked towards the night sky.

He lowered his head and sneered, his short body radiating an intense confidence: "Hmph...this is my treasured secret weapon!"

"Someone whose strength is no less than mine!"

The five were simultaneously shocked: "What?! Not inferior to Teacher Yi Ye?!"

'Snake Princess's Scale' base...

"This competition depends on you, Sherry!"

Shirley, entrusted with this important task, felt only resentment. With her hands on her hips, she complained to President Oba and Jura, "So why did I have to race against those people?!"

"No matter how you look at it, I'm not the type who has a physical advantage, am I?!"

After saying that, he shook the huge fruit in front of him, his words full of implications.

Leon and the others could tell that although she looked very dissatisfied, she was secretly very pleased.

Jura patted her on the shoulder, reassuring her, "Don't worry, since magic can be used in the competition, your stamina is more than enough!"

Sherry's magic, puppetry, allows her to manipulate non-human objects. This is why 'Snake Scale' sent her into action, because all she has to do is let the ground carry her.

While magic power and physical strength share some similarities, they are not entirely the same. Therefore, in this situation, Sherry, who can use magic power instead of physical strength, has an advantage over others.

"But my magic power isn't high either, and as a woman, my physical strength is already weaker than those men's..."

"Shirley!! How could you have such thoughts!!"

Leon interrupted her with a loud shout, then looked up at the sky with tears streaming down his face, gritting his teeth in resentment, "Compared to me, your situation is already so much better!!"

Despite his immense strength, and his self-proclaimed position as being on par with Kira in the two renowned guilds of the former Fiore Kingdom, Fairy Tail and Boa Hancock, Lyon was easily defeated on the first day in a manner that was extremely humiliating. As a result, Lyon has yet to recover from his emotional slump.

What frustrated Leon even more was that Inbel, who had easily defeated him, also had an outstanding performance the next day.

Although the opponent did not ultimately win the 'naval battle' competition, it was because their opponents were mages of the caliber of Jura, Erza, and Ultear.

Leon was filled with resentment and anger at not being able to fulfill his vow to defeat his opponent with Ice-Shape Magic, fearing that he would never be able to get revenge in the future.

"Uh...hehe..."

The group looked at the guy who had suffered a crushing defeat on the first day and hadn't even participated in any competitions. They felt both sorry for him and amused, unsure of how to comfort him.

Chapter 701 Speed ​​Race? A Run?

"So, that guy really is Niya?"

Kira blinked his sky-blue eyes in confusion as he looked at the chosen characters for the 'Blue Pegasus'.

To be honest, it wasn't entirely unexpected. After all, given the influence of the original work, he could understand why this person, who looked exactly like a transcendent being from the previous story, would appear here. But...

Shouldn't these two have met a few years later? I remember in the Grand Magic Games in chapter X791 of the manga, Ichiya said they met 'not long ago', but now it's happened several years earlier?

Kira could only attribute it to the influence of parallel universes.

"Two Nights? Are they as powerful as One Night?"

Makarov didn't recognize this Niya, so he was suspicious and looked at Natsu, Happy, and the others who seemed to know something.

In the Edolas instance that Kira didn't experience together, they went through a great battle in Edolas and forged a deep friendship with the Beyonders.

After the 'soul' reversal, all beings with magical power were teleported to Aslant, including the Transcendents. As the commander of the Transcendent Guard Division, Niya was naturally among them.

However, the cats, including Happy, had no idea how Niya had joined the Blue Pegasus. They could only sigh in surprise and wonder at the "fate" of it all!

"No... I don't think so..." The few people who knew about the combat power of the Transcendent waved their hands.

The "no" was a rather euphemistic way of putting it; what they really thought was, "That guy is terrible, not even as good as Harpy," but they just didn't say it aloud.

I don't know when they became so 'well-mannered,' perhaps...

'Perhaps it's because of my influence that they've started to become more polite?'

Kira thought to himself, 'Isn't Gajeel the perfect example? He was a scoundrel back then, but now he's all timid and subservient, not even daring to raise his head in front of Levy!'

He felt that he was now a living saint in the magical world. Not only was he good at magic and highly talented, but he was also very skilled at educating people. He had inherited Makarov's teachings and even surpassed his master, creating his own unique style.

I'm sure that someone like me will be recorded in the annals of the Kingdom of Fiore, or even the history of Aslant!

"Although you can't match Yi Ye's strength, don't forget that the theme of today's 'competition' is 'speed race'! And your opponents are transcendent beings who can fly!"

Erza spoke up to remind them, and Natsu and the others immediately realized her point and nodded repeatedly, mainly because they didn't dare to refute her.

"The Grand Magic Games... what a wonderful tournament..."

Looking at the cheering crowd in the arena and then at the seven people preparing to compete in the arena, Lucy One couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that our world doesn't have this..."

Due to the impact of 'Nirvana', World One was completely transformed, so naturally no one organized these competitions anymore. In addition, Lucy One was busy working to help her companions throughout that year, so she had never seen such orderliness before.

In the arena...

"A transcendent being? If one can fly, that would certainly be very advantageous..."

Looking at the two nights who looked exactly like the first night, the remaining six contestants couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world: "There are actually people who can look like this... and there are two of them!!"
