A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

This surname, both strange and familiar, filled her with apprehension.

Glug...

“Belserion…”

"I remember that's Erza-san's mother's surname?"

Suddenly, a short memory from about two years ago, when she was in the Western Continent, surfaced in the girl's mind, and then an incredible magical name came out of her mouth.

"Personality enhancement..."

Big Wendy, or more precisely Wendy Belserion, smiled mysteriously upon hearing this, then nodded slightly: "That's right! Just as you thought!"

"I used my personality possession to take over this body, and thus gained a new life!!"

Boom!!

When her guess was confirmed, Wendy felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and all her strength left her: "How could this be..."

In Wendy's memory, Kira and Irene had mentioned the advanced enchantment technique 'Personality Enhancement' before, and she herself had looked into it afterward, so she knew how terrifying this magic was.

Taking over someone else's body and erasing their original personality is an extremely heinous act, even the darkest of acts!

Even those dark magic spells recorded in so-called 'top secret' or 'forbidden' magic books, which are feared, hated, and resented by countless mages, may not be as terrifying as this magic!

This horror stems not only from the heinous nature of the act, but also from the human-like greed!

Imagine if an enchanter constantly attaches their personality to others and changes bodies before the body's lifespan ends, wouldn't that person be essentially immortal?

How many people in this world can resist the temptation of 'immortality'?

"Why……"

"What did you say?" Big Wendy glanced down at Wendy.

Wendy suddenly looked up, mustered her courage to look directly into the other person's eyes, and, unable to hold back her sobs, shouted, "Why did you do that?!"

"You're asking why... you should know the answer, shouldn't you?"

Big Wendy's eyes flickered, and a slight smile played on her lips. Her once beautiful smile now looked incredibly wicked: "I've always wanted a normal human body!"

"But...but..."

But this is my body!!

Doesn't this situation mean that my parallel universe self died at the hands of my parallel universe counterpart, Eileen?!

What would happen to me in this world?

"Oh, right!"

Thinking of Irene in this world, Wendy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered something. "I remember that Irene from our world went to Giltina two years ago to find an alchemist who could use 'body transmutation'. Didn't you go there?"

"No, I've already been there!"

Wendy froze again: "Huh?! Then..."

“But that method won’t work!” Big Wendy sighed, saying with a hint of regret, “That alchemy called ‘body transmutation’ is completely different from what I originally thought; it can’t ‘transform limbs’.”

"To be precise, I think it should be called 'doll transmutation'. It creates dolls with independent personalities that can use alchemy, just like mechanical soldiers who can use magic."

"So, after the 'alchemy plan' failed, you set your sights on my body again...?"

That's terrifying! That's brutal! That's vicious!

This is just like the evil queen in the story who was jealous of Snow White's beauty and poisoned her!

A few drops of cold sweat slowly dripped from Wendy's head.

Wendy knew nothing about alchemy, but she could tell that Kira's original plan had failed. By analogy, it was highly likely that Eileen's journey with Kirtina in this world had also been fruitless.

But so much time has passed and there's still no news. Could it be that Eileen in this world has given up on her body?

If that's the case, then that's a good thing.

"Hehehe... Don't worry, I already have this body, so I won't hurt you!" Big Wendy took two steps closer to Wendy and reached out to give her a head pat.

Wendy quickly backed away, her heart filled with shock and uncertainty.

You won't hurt me? Are you kidding me?! You've already taken over my body from another world, and now you're coming to me saying something like this? You think I'd believe that??

Wait a minute! Something seems off?

Kirasan said that when Erin used Personality Possession on me, I should have been able to use the same magic on her body in return! And in that situation, I, who was in Erin's body, should have had the upper hand!

I couldn't possibly have missed this point in my parallel universe, so why did I still get the upper hand?

Just as Wendy was completely baffled, the big Wendy in front of her smiled again.

This time, however, her smile lacked its previous wickedness, replaced by mockery and ridicule: "Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. Let her come out and talk to you!"

"?!"

Wendy's face immediately showed a big look of confusion. Just as she was about to ask what the sentence meant, she saw Wendy's expression suddenly drop, and her whole demeanor changed drastically, becoming the way she was most familiar with.

"Hello, Wendy No. 7!"

When they spoke again, they used the format of calling each other by name plus number, sounding like they were calling out the serial numbers of mass-produced machines. Their familiar manner made you think they were good friends.

"I am Wendy Marbel from World 5!"

Big Wendy greeted him again in a soft voice. Her voice was the same, but her tone was completely different from before. Compared to her previous sly teasing, this time her tone was closer to Wendy herself, and she gave him the surname 'Mabelle,' which Wendy was more familiar with.

"Huh?! What... what... what's going on?!"

One second she was the bad aunt who had taken over her body, but the next second she looked exactly like herself.

The unexpected turn of events left Wendy completely bewildered by what she saw, her eyes glazed over, turning into circles like mosquito coils.

"For some reason, Erin from World 5 is currently sharing a body with me!"

Big Wendy squeezed the magic wand in her hand and explained, "It was because of her help that I was able to survive that disaster and come to World 7."

"disaster……"

Wendy murmured softly, her mind constantly analyzing the message the other person had brought.

By now, I can roughly deduce that something unusual happened in World 5, and then for some unknown reason, Irene from World 5 entered Wendy's body and came to World 7 where I am, intending to do something. And these things are likely related to me, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically taken me away.

Speaking of disasters, the first thing Wendy thought of was the 'Nirvana' anomaly in World 1 that Lucy mentioned. However, the person in front of her did not seem to have fallen into darkness, so it was still unknown whether the disaster in World 5 was 'Nirvana'.

"What kind of disaster are you referring to?"

Big Wendy sighed, gripping her wand even tighter: "It's a dragon!"

"In the year X791 of World 5, tens of thousands of dragons invaded the entire Ishgar. They wreaked havoc on the continent, disregarding human life, and the whole world was instantly turned into a living hell!"

"In just one month, Ishgar's population has halved!"

The other party immediately delivered a shocking piece of news, which made Wendy pale with fright, but before Big Wendy could finish speaking...

"Under the leadership of the Council, the Royal Family, and the presidents of various magic guilds, the mages formed a coalition army, with Dragon Slayer Mages as the main fighting force, to resist the dragon hordes. Although this action did slow down their pace of destruction to some extent, it was ultimately a drop in the ocean in the face of such a natural disaster, and could hardly turn the tide!"

"Within six months, less than one in ten ordinary people survived, and countless mages were killed by the dragons."

At this point, Big Wendy paused suddenly, looking at Wendy with a meaningful gaze, "Even 'Fairy Tail' is the same!"

Chapter 716 The Anomaly in World 5

Wendy's face turned pale with fright, and a dark shadow that blotted out the sky flashed through her mind, bringing back memories of the battle with Acnologia on Tenrou Island.

She couldn't verify whether what Wendy No. 5 said was true or false, but it was better to believe it than not. If she couldn't stop it in time, her world might end up like World No. 1, or even suffer a crisis more serious than the reversal of light and darkness!

"Everyone in the guild..."

“Eileen-san suffered irreparable trauma in a battle. When her physical body was on the verge of death, I had her transfer her personality to me, so she is now in a state similar to a second personality.”

"As for those words like 'she took over my body,' they were just her joking with you. You don't need to treat her as an enemy."

"On the contrary, I am very grateful that she was willing to stay. If it weren't for her constant guidance and instruction, I wouldn't have been able to grow up so quickly..."

In just a few words, Wendy's wariness was greatly reduced. With Wendy's endorsement, Irene's behavior changed from "maliciously taking over her body" to "staying at her request," and the nature of the act changed instantly.

From a wicked aunt who coveted the bodies of young, normal girls, she transformed into an elder who was willing to live on in a dissociative state to protect and guide the younger generation.

ten minutes later……

Two Wendys, one big and one small, sat side by side on a man-made stone chair on the mountain peak. One talked and the other listened, gradually losing track of time.

Wendy, number 5, briefly recounted the appalling battle situation in World 5 over the past six months. The familiar and unfamiliar names she spoke elicited gasps of surprise from Wendy.

"The battle between humans and dragons lasted for more than seven months. The human side suffered countless casualties, while the dragon side only lost 30% of its strength."

Thirty percent?

Upon hearing this, Wendy's first reaction was: Isn't this data a bit too high? Are humans really that strong??

She had fought Acnologia and met dragon masters like Culnuki and Selene, and knew that the power of dragons was far beyond what ordinary mages could handle.

Seemingly noticing Wendy's confusion, number 5 Wendy smiled and explained, "There are two main reasons!"

"One of them was Kira's suggestion and the technology of 'Dragon's Heart,' which gave us dozens more second and fifth generation Dragon Slayer Mages."

Second and fifth generation Dragon Slayer Mages?

Wendy was taken aback at first, but quickly thought of words like 'magic crystal' and 'devouring dragon meat'.

"The second reason is more encouraging: not all the dragons that invaded Ishgar were hostile to humans!"

"Among those tens of thousands of dragons, there are many like Grandine and Igneel who love humans. They have chosen to stand on the side of humans and fight alongside us."

Wendy, number 5, chuckled softly, her tone tinged with gratitude. "Especially thanks to Irene-san's help, humanity has gained some new first-generation Dragon Slayer Mages!"

The first Dragon Slayer was created by using enchantment magic to add the power of dragons to humans. Irene was the founder of this method, so she was naturally very skilled in it and it would not be difficult for her to recreate the first Dragon Slayer.

Wendy clicked her tongue in amazement, exclaiming, "The battles between humans and dragons, and between dragons themselves, sound almost exactly like the situation recorded in history four hundred years ago..."

Her exclamation caused Wendy, number 5, to fall silent for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Wendy asked curiously.

"No, you're right!"

Looking at the innocent girl in front of her, Wendy No. 5 had a hint of nostalgia in her eyes and sighed in her heart: The situation in X791 is indeed similar to that of four hundred years ago, but what is similar is not only the battle between humans and dragons, or dragons against dragons.
