Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

"Master, the Book of End also contains the strongest demon in the Book of Zeref, the Flame Demon END." After Li Xiaoxi picked up the Book of End, the Celestial Spirit King put away his super magic Galaxy Blade and said to Li Xiaoxi, "Master, you may have already sensed that this Book of End shares the same soul as your companion Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Law."

"Celestial Spirit King, isn't the time right? You should tell me everything now!" Li Xiaoxi was quite surprised when she discovered that the soul of this Book of End was actually the same as Natsu's aura.

"Master, you must know that Zeref has a younger brother, right?"

"I know, could it be that Natsu is Zeref's brother?" Li Xiaoxi quickly realized this.

"Master is right. Natsu is Zeref's younger brother from 400 years ago. Some of you may already know this, but I'll tell you what you don't! Natsu was born 400 years ago, Zeref's younger brother, but he died when he was very young. His brother's death confused Zeref—why are humans born and why do they die? So, in order to revive Natsu, Zeref began to dabble in forbidden magic. Zeref's actions angered the god Ankhseram, and then the curse of immortality appeared on Zeref!"

"Zeref used his brother's body to create the strongest demon, Etherias Natsu Dragneel (END), thus achieving both the creation of the strongest demon and the resurrection of his brother."

Later, to defeat Acorn, Igneel taught him Dragon Slayer Magic. 400 years ago, END fought the Dragon King Igneel. Because of Igneel's feelings for Zeref and Natsu, he didn't destroy the Book of End, adopted Natsu as his son, taught him Dragon Slayer Magic, and chose five children, including Natsu (the first and third generation Dragon Slayers), to be sent to the future through the Eclipse Gate. 400 years later, Lucy's mother, Leila, opened the Eclipse Gate, and Natsu awoke on July 7th, 777. He has been searching for Igneel ever since. Natsu himself clearly possesses memories of living with Igneel 400 years ago.

The Celestial Spirit King told Li Xiaoxi, Yukino, and Brandish.μ something that surprised them all, but this also coincides with the information Li Xiaoxi obtained in the Western Continent.

"The Alvarez Empire's long-standing goal has been to obtain 'Lumen Starlight,' and they've even waged war to get it. So what exactly is this 'Lumen Starlight' all about?!"

"I cannot tell Master about 'Lumen-Starlight'. If Master wants to know, you will have to ask your guild leader. I believe he will tell you. It is not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere in this matter!"

"So I really have to go back to Fairy Tail and ask the guild master?"

"Is there anything else I need to do, Master?" Star Spirit King asked as Li Xiaoxi was deep in thought.

"That's all for now. You should go back to the Celestial Spirit Realm. Thank you for your hard work this time."

"It is my honor to serve my master!" the Celestial Spirit King said, bowing slightly. After speaking, he slowly disappeared.

Chapter 304 The Return Journey

After the Celestial Spirit King disappeared, Li Xiaoxi looked at the two people who were frightened by the information revealed by the Celestial Spirit King.

This can't be blamed on them. If Li Xiaoxi were a native of this world, she might have done the same thing. Li Xiaoxi's position determined that her vision was higher, so she could quickly accept everything the Star Spirit King said.

Soon, news spread that Li Xiaoxi had destroyed the Nine Ghosts Sect, the top guild in the Western Continent, within just a few days.

Now, Li Xiaoxi has become incredibly famous. No one in the Western Continent dares to cause her trouble anymore. After all, she easily wiped out the Nine Ghosts Sect, the top guild in the Western Continent, in just a few days. Her strength is definitely comparable to the Twelve Holy Shields, and she could even rank among the top of the Twelve Holy Shields. The fact that she single-handedly destroyed the Nine Ghosts Sect in just a few days is truly terrifying.

However, for a long time after Li Xiaoxi destroyed the Nine Ghosts Sect, there was no further news about her. But Li Xiaoxi's reputation was so great that no one dared to forget her or provoke her, making her someone they could only look up to.

Meanwhile, the news that Brandish μ and Li Xiaoxi were traveling together in the Holy Twelve Aegis somehow spread the day after Li Xiaoxi destroyed the Nine Ghosts Gate.

The other twelve shields reacted differently upon hearing the news. Most chose to wait and see, since their emperor had not yet returned. However, one person was enraged upon hearing the news and vowed to kill the traitor Brandish.μ, as well as Li Xiaoxi, who had lured Brandish.μ into betrayal.

This person was none other than Timaria, the War Queen of the Twelve Shields. As one of only two women among the Twelve Shields and Brandish μ, Timaria could not tolerate Brandish μ's betrayal.

But just as Timalia was searching everywhere for news of Li Xiaoxi and Brandish.μ, Li Xiaoxi, Brandish.μ, and Wendy seemed to have vanished from the Western Continent, with no trace of them anywhere.

This forced Timalia to stop her impulse to kill Li Xiaoxi and Brandish.μ.

So where are Li Xiaoxi, Brandish.μ, and Yukino, the main characters? They can't be found anywhere in Western Continent. Some even speculate that they might have returned to the Eastern Continent, which is why they can't be found in the Western Continent.

In fact, Li Xiaoxi, Brandish.μ, and Yukino never left the Western Continent; the three of them were still on the Western Continent.

After finally processing the shock inflicted by the Celestial Spirit King, Brandish μ and Yukino suddenly encountered a problem with their magical power. They had absorbed the purified magical power of Hades and the Book of End, but since their own strength hadn't reached that level, their magical power surged. The three were forced to stop and find a secluded spot to diligently cultivate their magical abilities.

After Li Xiaoxi received the Book of Destiny of this world—the Book of END—her magical power increased several times over. She then embarked on a cultivation journey with the two of them. Li Xiaoxi's magical power was already terrifyingly strong, but now it had increased several times over, forcing her to spend time organizing it.

To prevent this from happening again, Li Xiaoxi started from scratch during this training, meticulously refining the magical power within his body. This training was extremely thorough, addressing both the magical power itself and the application of magic step by step.

----------

Four years later, in the same small valley, a power capable of destroying heaven and earth suddenly erupted. This magical power appeared suddenly, but the entire Western Continent trembled. Among them, the Twelve Shields of Saints felt this magical power that made their bodies tremble, and their eyes were very solemn.

This magic is comparable to that of their Emperor Zeref, far surpassing any of the Twelve Aegis.

Who could possibly possess such magic? Zeref still wants the Eastern Continent, but if this person wanted to destroy the Western Continent, it would be an extremely easy matter.

However, this magic came suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly. Before the members of the Twelve Shields could even properly perceive this terrifying magic, it vanished.

"Lady Xiaoxi, congratulations on your mastery of magic!" Yukino said after Li Xiaoxi opened her eyes, having withdrawn her magic power.

"Yukino, you're so cunning! We clearly agreed that I would be the first to congratulate Nozomi!" Brandish.μ pouted and said unhappily.

"Brandish μ-nee, come next time!" Yukino said apologetically, knowing it was her fault.

"Alright, stop arguing. By the way, have you learned the new magic I taught you?" Li Xiaoxi asked, looking at Yukino, who had grown up.

"I already learned it! Aren't I amazing, Xiaoxi-sama?" Yukino said in a tone that seemed to need Li Xiaoxi's praise.

“Xiao hope, don’t listen to what she says. She only fully mastered the magic you taught her yesterday. I mastered everything you taught me months ago.” Brandish.μ exposed Yukino’s lie.

"Alright, I got it. You guys are all amazing. By the way, we've been here for four years now!" Li Xiaoxi exclaimed.

During those four years, Li Xiaoxi spent two years organizing her magic power and then began researching her own magic. However, she inadvertently discovered that the Ice Demon Slayer Magic that Yin had taught her had a flaw. In order to prevent Gray from having any adverse reactions when practicing this magic, she spent half a year correcting the flaws in the Ice Demon Slayer Magic.

While Yukino and Brandish μ were waiting for Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaoxi taught Yukino the legendary super magic that only Celestial Spirit Mages could use, which was also one of the ancient magics, Star Chart Chronicles. She also taught her some other attack magic.

As for Brandish.μ, Li Xiaoxi corrected the limitation of her shape magic, which could only change the shape and size of people and objects, making it the same as her size magic. Then she taught her some other spells as well.

"Speaking of which, we've been away for seven years now. It's time to go back!"

"Lady Nozomi's decision is my decision! And what about you? What are you planning to do, Brandish μ?"

"Me too! I want to join Fairy Tail, and be with Nozomi!" Brandish μ said without any hesitation.

Chapter 305 The Fairy Seven Years Later

After receiving replies from Yukino and Brandish.μ, Li Xiaoxi smiled.

"We've been out for quite a while now, I wonder what the guild will be like by then!"

"It will definitely be the same as before, but I wonder if they will be shocked if they know my current strength," Yukino said expectantly.

"What's so great about your strength? Don't forget, you're still far behind me!" Brandish.μ retorted.

"Brandish μ, actually, Yukino's current strength is probably already in the top three in our guild, which is quite impressive!" Li Xiaoxi said.

"So, even if I don't talk about myself, will I become one of the top two after I join Fairy Tail?"

"Although I don't want to say it, your strength is currently second only to Nozomi in Fairy Tail, but Nozomi is still number one."

-------------

After receiving news that the traitor Brandish.μ was heading towards the Eastern Continent, Timalia didn't think too much and simply waited for Brandish.μ on the only road leading to the Eastern Continent.

"Brandish.μ, I never thought you would actually leave the Western Continent with that man, you traitor!" After waiting for several days, Timalia finally saw Li Xiaoxi and her group flying in the sky.

“Timalia, what is she doing here?” Brandish.μ said in surprise, looking at Timalia lying on the ground.

"she is?"

"Timalia, a fellow member of the Aegis of Champions with me a few years ago."

"It seems your companion doesn't want us to leave so easily!" Li Xiaoxi said with a smile, looking at the battle-ready Timalia. After all, in Li Xiaoxi's eyes, the Twelve Aegis were no big deal. If they dared to cause trouble in the Eastern Continent, Li Xiaoxi guaranteed they'd be taught a lesson they wouldn't forget.

"Just ignore her," Brandish.μ still considered that she was Timaria when she was still the Aegis of the Twelve.

"Since you put it that way!"

Originally, Li Xiaoxi wanted to get rid of this person named Timalia, but since Brandish μ had said so, Li Xiaoxi agreed.

But the other party seemed a bit ungrateful and actually started using magic.

"Time magic!"

Timalia's attempt to freeze time was shattered by Li Xiaoxi's cold snort before it could be completed.

"I'll let you off this time for the sake of Brandish.μ. But if you do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Xiaoxi said calmly before flying away.

"Lord Xiaoxi, wait for me!"

“Timalia, you'd better watch out! Next time we meet, we'll be enemies,” Brandish.μ said earnestly, looking at Timalia who was startled by Li Xiaoxi's cold snort. After speaking, Brandish.μ caught up with Li Xiaoxi.

"This person's magic is terrifying..." Timalia said, trembling, half an hour after Li Xiaoxi and the others left.

Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia Town.

Compared to seven years ago, Magnolia has neither become more prosperous nor weaker; it remains as bustling as ever, as if nothing has changed.

Pedestrians come and go on the street.

"Let me tell you, our Fairy Tail is the most powerful guild in the Kingdom of Fiore..." Yukino introduced Fairy Tail to Brandish.μ.

All around, shouts and calls of vendors came from the various stalls.

People chatted and laughed with each other, or visited each stall, creating a constant cacophony that exuded vitality.

That scene was incredibly heartwarming.

However, as she walked down this street, Li Xiaoxi's brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn't that Li Xiaoxi felt there was anything unpleasant about the scene, but rather that the conversations of the passersby around them caught her attention.

"Have you heard? It seems like the main members of Fairy Tail are back?"

"Main force members?"

"That's right. Have you forgotten what happened seven years ago when the main members of the Fairy Tail guild all disappeared after setting sail?"

"Oh, I remember now, there really was such a thing."

"I heard that those who went missing seem to have returned about a month ago."

"So, does that mean that guild is preparing to rise again?"

"How could that trash guild possibly rise again? Even if their main members came back, so what? Seven years have passed already! Now they're the worst guild in the world."

"But didn't I hear that Li Xiaoxi, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, accepted a century-long mission? If she completes it, then wouldn't that be..."

"It's been seven years. Who knows if he's dead out there? This trash guild still wants to rise again?"

"Well, that makes sense. A trash guild will always be a trash guild."

"That's right."

Hearing this conversation, Li Xiaoxi and Yukino frowned more and more deeply, and a hint of anger surged in their dark eyes. Brandish.μ was equally unhappy after seeing Li Xiaoxi so angry.

Brandish μ originally intended to teach a lesson to the person who was speaking ill of Fairy Tail, but Li Xiaoxi stopped her.

"Could something have gone wrong during these seven years?"

The joy and happiness that was supposed to be about seeing the guild members whom they hadn't seen for seven years completely vanished at this moment.

However, I was still relieved. Although I didn't know what had happened to Fairy Tail or what its current situation was, judging from the conversations of those people, the guild seemed to still be intact.

As long as the guild is still around, that's fine.

Now, Li Xiaoxi believes that after his return, Fairy Tail will soon become the most powerful guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, and also the strongest guild in the world.

In this situation, if Fairy Tail no longer exists, Li Xiaoxi really doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, it seems the worst didn't happen.

However, even if the worst didn't happen, it's clear from conversations with others that Fairy Tail isn't doing too well right now.

I don't know. What's become of my former companions now?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxi quickened her pace slightly, walking briskly towards the Fairy Tail guild. Yukino and Brandish.μ followed closely behind.

"Hey, wasn't that Li Xiaoxi, the Fairy Child and one of the Ten Wizard Saints, who just ran past?"

"real or fake?"

Now that you mention it, you're absolutely right!

"What should we do? Should we leave Magnolia Town first?"

"You're right, leave Magnolia Town immediately, or the consequences will be..."

Li Xiaoxi was unaware that his appearance led to several people moving out of Magnolia Town that very night.

Chapter 306 Seven Years of Change

Under the sunlight, the Fairy Tail guild signboard gleamed dazzlingly.

A banner bearing the guild crest of Fairy Tail fluttered in the wind atop the castle-like building, silently proclaiming to the world that this guild, once ranked number one in the Kingdom of Fiore, was still alive and well.

Li Xiaoxi walked straight into the guild and pushed open the door, with Yukino and Brandish.μ following behind her.

In the past, all the noise that belonged to Fairy Tail would have reached Li Xiaoxi's ears immediately.

However, this time, the noise did not occur again.
