A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Within the power of the eclipse, Kira discovered another key point, and asked, "Is the magic power of this eclipse sphere constantly increasing?"

Kira's words stunned Loki and the others: What?! The power of Eclipse is still increasing?!

However, to everyone's surprise, when faced with Kira's question, the Celestial Spirit King gave an affirmative answer: "Indeed! Although that human helped us expel the Eclipse from our bodies and restore the starry sky to its original state, it could not stop the growth of the Eclipse's power!"

"During the time we were sealed here, the power of the solar eclipse continued to intensify, and we couldn't find its exact source at all..."

Everyone was stunned once again.

If the source cannot be found, it cannot be cut off. Then we can only watch as the power of the eclipse continues to expand. Even the strongest magic circle will eventually break down. At that time, the accumulated eclipse magic will explode in an instant, engulfing the entire Protoss Realm, leaving no room for maneuver!

"Even the Celestial Spirit King can't find the source?" Rocky suppressed his shock and asked hurriedly.

He was a Protoss himself, so this matter was of greater importance to him than to others. However, the Protoss King simply shook his head regretfully without saying another word, but that was enough to give a clear answer.

Just then, Kira suddenly spoke up in a low voice, "I do have a guess about the source!"

"!!?" ×N

"Kira, do you really know the reason for the increase in Eclipse power?"

Having spent many years together, the Fairy Tail crew knows Kira's personality very well. Unless he's deliberately playing a prank on someone, he's always been someone who believes in 'knowing what you know and admitting what you don't know.'

In other words, they won't lie unless they're deliberately lying.

However, since the matter now involves the survival of the Protoss world and Lucy's whereabouts, the group still trusted Kira's words to some extent.

"First of all, it can be confirmed that the Eclipse magic originated from the time chaos caused by Lucy pushing open the Eclipse Gate. Now that the Eclipse Gate is malfunctioning and connecting to a parallel world, the only explanation is that this power comes from a parallel world!"

Kira's deduction was nothing special, but for these mages who had always limited their vision to a single world, it was already a fantasy.

The Celestial Spirit King wasn't too surprised by this. As the ruler of a realm, and having previously suggested to August that 'Lucy might exist in a parallel world,' he had already considered this possibility: "I've also thought about this possibility. But if she truly originated from a parallel world, what caused her to flow into this world? And how did she get here?"

As we all know, traveling from point A to point B, which is geographically completely different, requires a path. If the two points are one meter apart, then a one-meter path is needed; if they are ten meters apart, then a ten-meter path is needed; even if there is a wormhole between the two points that allows instantaneous travel, at least a trace of the wormhole will be left in the original location.

However, there were no similar traces around the eclipse power before them, so it gave the impression that it could reproduce and grow on its own, which was why the Celestial King could not find its source.

However, it is also well known that energy is conserved, and this also applies to the magical world. Therefore, the power of a solar eclipse will not increase for no reason. The extra power of the solar eclipse must have an energy source!

Chapter 766 Kira's Eclipse Flow Inference

There is only one explanation for these extra eclipse forces, and it is also the best explanation.

That is, Lucy travels between different worlds, performing the 'opening' and 'closing' operations on the solar eclipses in each world, causing these worlds to also generate solar eclipse power, which then converges together for unknown reasons.

More accurately, they've all converged here!

Like the symbol "卅", these parallel worlds are connected by the opened gate of the eclipse. As a result, all worlds are like having an outlet, recklessly throwing the forces they generate, some of which could cause chaos in the world, into this world.

Kira pondered for a moment and explained, "The reason it flows here is probably because Lucy came from this world. In other words, this world is the origin of the solar eclipse. Other worlds may not have this phenomenon, so the magic flows here, similar to a tadpole looking for its mother."

Kira in each world considers his own world as the main world. If his transmigration is a plot in a novel, then his own world must be the world that the author mainly describes, and he is the protagonist of the novel. Therefore, Kira No. 1 subconsciously believes that other worlds do not have this kind of change as his own world.

As for the anomalies of 'Nirvana' and 'Eclipse', although they deviated from the original plot, they are likely the butterfly effect brought about by my own time travel. In any case, the outcome is acceptable, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. Just live your own life well.

Everyone was speechless at Kira's "tadpole looking for its mother" analogy: "What a strange metaphor..."

"As for traces of the eclipse's power coming from other worlds, we haven't found any. But either it was at the eclipse gate, where it entered using the Zodiac's Star Spirit Key, or it could only have entered through the void... Wait a minute!"

At this point, Kira suddenly thought of something else, looked up at the Protoss King whose toes were bigger than his own, and asked, "Does your Protoss Realm have passageways connecting to other worlds?"

"There are many!"

The one who answered the question wasn't the Celestial Spirit King, but Loki. Clearly, this wasn't some secret that needed to be kept hidden. "The Celestial Spirit Realm is probably the most spatially unstable world I know of. As far as I know, there are three worlds that can connect to the Celestial Spirit Realm: Aslant, Edolas, and Elentina..."

Kira knew all three places Rocky mentioned, after all, he had read the comics, but these were all worlds within the same work and did not involve the concept of parallel worlds.

"Hmm... Although the world I'm talking about isn't the same as the one you're describing, from what you're saying, the space of the Protoss Realm isn't stable. In other words, it's not surprising that there are one or two nodes leading to parallel worlds, right?"

That's right! That must be it!

Kira thought about it more and more and it made more sense. As Lucy opened and closed the doors in each world, the eclipse magic generated in the corresponding world flowed to the Protoss Realm of the world she belonged to. Then, this force broke the already fragile spatial nodes in the Protoss Realm and finally converged into this world.

Thinking this, Kira couldn't help but glance at the Protoss Realm he was currently in, and at the Protoss King before him, thinking to himself: 'Looking at it this way, these Protoss beings, after having their minds devoured by such immense Eclipse magic, were actually able to be revived. They really are resilient...'

'Or perhaps, these magical energies from different worlds have achieved some kind of balance? No, no, no… that probability is still too small!'

"Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully. Now that the assumptions have been made, it's time to verify them!"

Kira smiled confidently, brushed his slightly longer red hair back, stepped forward, released his magical perception, and then injected a wisp of his magical power into the eclipse magic in front of him. The others cooperated by taking a half step back, giving Kira enough space to show off.

Magic is essentially a product of physical and mental energy. For a mage, it is like chakra to a ninja, spiritual pressure to a Shinigami, and ki to a martial artist. Kira, who has maxed out his talent in this area, can easily attach his mental energy to magic and use this part of magic to sense the nature and flow of another kind of magic.

The first thing he sensed was that same dark, corrupt, cold, and chaotic magic. If this were an inexperienced mage, they would be completely paralyzed with shock, as they certainly possess the mental strength and willpower to resist it. But for someone like Kira, who stands at the pinnacle of the magical world, this was child's play; he was completely immune to it.

Kira quickly noticed the difference in these eclipse magic powers.

Despite their similarity exceeding 90%, Kira's extraordinary perception allowed him to easily detect the subtle differences. He first distinguished between the two distinct eclipse magic powers, then followed their flow downwards, quickly finding a third different eclipse magic power, followed by a fourth, a fifth, and a sixth...

The more eclipse magic Kira identified, the more his perception expanded from the local to the overall. He continuously dispersed his magic, changing one property each time. These properties were not visible to the naked eye, but to Kira they were as distinct as red and green, black and white.

In the end, in Kira's magical perception, the large mass of eclipse magic before him became a large sphere woven from several interwoven strands of magic of different colors.

"What is this... the Rainbow Rasengan?"

After muttering a complaint, Kira began to trace the origins of these alien eclipse magics one by one, and soon followed them to a fragile spatial node.

"Found it!" Kira opened his eyes and uttered a voice full of confidence and power.

"So fast?!" Rocky was quite surprised.

Before joining Fairy Tail, Loki had known Kira for four or five years. After joining Fairy Tail, he spent two or three years with him. Therefore, he knew very well that Kira was a very powerful mage, a genius among geniuses in every aspect. However, the fact that Kira could find something that even the Celestial Spirit King couldn't find in such a short time and so easily still overturned his understanding.

"Really??"

"Of course it's true."

"Then how are we going to find Lucy?" Rocky was already impatient.

Kira pointed his finger into the void: "Climb along these network cables... uh, I mean, follow the direction of this eclipse magic, and travel from this spatial node to the Protoss Realm of other worlds!"

Harpy murmured, "But there's nothing there at all, Kira."

The others also turned around curiously, their eyes asking questions, as if to say: What's wrong with you, little brother? You just pointed at nothing and made a fool of us?

Kira was quite pleased with the performance of these clueless noobs who couldn't perceive the difference in magical power. He waved his hand proudly, signaling everyone to calm down: "Don't rush! It's perfectly normal for them to use camouflage to hide online in order to prevent netizens from tracing their tracks through the internet."

Hmm... to be honest, this feeling of showing off isn't bad at all.

"These eclipse magics have several sources. According to my speculation, only one of them should originate from this world, while the others come from parallel worlds. This also confirms my previous conjecture that Lucy is indeed using the Eclipse Gate to travel between multiple parallel worlds."

"If we find the moment corresponding to Lucy's world from these spatial nodes in front of us, and successfully jump to that world, we can find Lucy with the help of the Protoss in that world."

"That's great!! Let's set off now!!" Erza looked firmly at the starlit night sky, head held high and chest puffed out, full of heroic spirit.

Kira nodded in satisfaction, silently giving her a thumbs-up: Truly worthy of being the captain of the Heart Squad! That decisive and efficient work ethic is just awesome! But…

I'm the president of Fairy Tail now, okay?! Don't you even know the rule of "workplace rule: don't steal the boss's thunder"?! You're just a captain of a special forces unit, and you're performing so well in front of me. How am I, the president, supposed to command respect? What about my authority? What about my reputation? Go ask around, which world doesn't give red-haired men like us some respect?

So, these days, guild members really have no sense of workplace etiquette whatsoever! They don't even read the book "Workplace Rules" that they themselves wrote and published!

For some reason, Kira suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar, as if he had experienced it in a dream, except that the place and people were not like the ones in front of him, but he couldn't remember which dream it was.

"Don't rush! In the current state, it's very difficult to use these spatial nodes to travel between different worlds. We must make some preparations first!"

"What preparations?" everyone asked in unison.

"How would I know? This is my first time doing something like this! I have no experience whatsoever."

Kira blinked his bright sky-blue eyes and innocently spread his hands, an action that immediately drew curses and a beating from Erza and the others.

"You damn Kira, you want a beating, don't you?!"

"You're so indecisive in your speech and actions. Can't you be as straightforward as me?!"

"If you don't bring Lucy back to me today, I'll go back and have Gildas overthrow you from your position as chairman!!"

"I don't know what to say, but I just want to beat you up!!"

One minute later.

Kira clapped his hands, looked at the group lying sprawled on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen, with bumps on their heads, and suddenly an idea struck him: "I've got it!"

Chapter 767 The Magic Has Been Transferred

You have a solution? What solution?

Kira's words instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Right now, this mass of magic is like a puddle, and the magic flowing from other worlds is like a tributary of a river. We can use the magic of the Protoss to guide it, making these eclipse forces flow backward along one of them. We can then use this massive amount of magic to break through the spatial node, and we will follow behind these forces into the space."

"But if we do that, it's uncertain whether we'll be able to come back."

This is the simplest and most direct method, but it's easier said than done. Kira only put forward the idea; the actual effect will depend on the actual implementation.

"It's alright, that's enough!"

For the mages of 'Fairy Tail', when in doubt, just go for it!

“That’s right… We can’t leave Lucy out there alone!” Natsu looked at Kira with a determined gaze. To him, Lucy was more than just an ordinary companion, even though they had known each other for less than a year in total.

He and the others nodded in agreement, clearly not wanting to miss this opportunity to bring Lucy back.

"Let's do it this way!"

Faced with the unwavering stance of everyone present, Kira had no choice but to comply. However, he took a step forward but then pulled back. "Hmm... but I'm the chairman now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to personally take risks?"

Everyone: "..."

Something's wrong with you! Something's very wrong!! Our comrade is in trouble, and you're still worried about whether the chairman will stay?! Are you even still one of us? Or has the power of being the chairman corrupted you so quickly?

Seeing the increasingly strange looks he was getting from the people around him, Kira showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He simply said, "After you go over there, one of you needs to stay here to ensure the passage remains open. Who among you can do that?"

Oh, is that so? Then we really can't do that...

Erza and the others all lowered their heads.

Half an hour later, Kira began his operation: "Next, I will try to use spatial magic to trace the source of these eclipse magics and find the corresponding world coordinates. Since I don't know which world Lucy is in now, I can only try one by one. Before that, you should be prepared if you can't find her."

Once everyone expressed their understanding, Kira began to cast a spell he had never seen before.
