Chapter 700: Kira's Conjecture and the Fourth Day of Competition
Now that Nirvana has been destroyed and the Cat Inn has been completely abandoned, only Brain has the most information, and he is currently participating in the Grand Magic Tournament, so it is a good idea to bring Lucy No. 1 here.
"So, what do you two think about the changes in World No. 1?"
Kira looked at Makarov and Mavis beside him. In the absence of Preshito, these two people were the most knowledgeable in the guild, so it was natural for him to ask them for advice.
However, as expected, both of them gave regrettable answers: "I have absolutely no idea..."
Mavis thought for a while and then asked, "Kira, what do you think?"
Her woman's intuition, coupled with her superior intelligence, made her feel that Kira should have the answer.
"Well..."
After mutual confirmation with Lucy No. 1 last night, Kira learned that before the "Nirvana" incident in World No. 1, all developments were no different from those in this world. Even the "Nirvana" recorded in that world was the same as that in this world. So the difference was not caused by the difference in worlds, but that "Nirvana" was artificially tampered with!
Then there are several inevitable questions:
First, who has such a motive?
Was this intentional or accidental? If it was intentional, what was the purpose? Did the world go into chaos? If it was accidental , what caused this change? Why didn't they come forward to explain after the change?
Second, who has such ability?
You know, ordinary magic is almost ineffective against dragons, especially Acnorolia, so if Nirvana wants to have an effect on Acnorolia, it must have contained dragon-killing magic! Where did this dragon-killing magic come from?
And to increase Nirvana to the point where it could affect Zeref and Acnorolia, who were almost at the top of the world's power, how terrifying would the magic power required be? And where would the magic power come from?
Finally, why does the 'Eclipse Gate' connect parallel worlds?
How high must the knowledge and magic of the other party be to hide it from the original designer, Jelf? Is there really such a person in that world? What is the reason for the transformation of the "Eclipse Gate"? Is it to exile Lucy, the outlier?
There are too many possibilities. If you don’t calm down and spend a long time studying them carefully, you will never find a reasonable answer.
Faced with Mavis's question, Kira was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said the only answer he could think of at the moment.
"In fact, I suspect that the changes in World No. 1 are related to the opening of a parallel world!"
In Kira's memory, the original work did not have the concept of "parallel world", but according to his own experience, what was related to this concept was that "Kira in a certain world used eclipse to send an artificial man to this world, making time travel a parallel world", that is, it was the butterfly effect caused by himself.
so……
The most unstable factor in the multiverse is actually me? ?
Kira suddenly felt that he was being treated the same as Doctor Strange.
"Is it related to the opening of a parallel world? It sounds reasonable..."
"But why was it opened?"
Mavis was puzzled and shook her head, looking cute; Makarov frowned and thought, touching her head, which was bald; Kira stood between the two of them, scratched his head, looked at his nose and his heart, pretending that he knew nothing.
…
"Finally! Finally!! Finally!!!"
"We have arrived at the fourth day of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise!!!"
The host Chapati had a new hairstyle today, long, smooth black hair, and she looked very fashionable: "Before the game starts, let's review the scores, rankings, and remaining players of each guild so far!! (See Chapter 695)"
Under the expectant gaze of the audience and wizards, 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 race? If it's one of us, we'll definitely let Laxus take part, right?"
Laxus nodded slightly upon hearing this. He considered himself to be the fastest man in the guild. Even Sarusuk who used the 'Divine Foot Magic' couldn't catch up with him. So when he saw this kind of competitive event, he naturally took the lead.
After all, the remaining people in the team who can participate in the competitive mode, whether it is Kira, Mira or Kana, are not known for their speed.
On the other side, another man who also thought he was the fastest stood up without hesitation.
"I've said it before, letting me be the backup is definitely much better than letting Sorono be the backup!"
Sawyer lifted his sunglasses on his pointed nose, grinned, and crossed his arms over his chest, looking very proud.
In terms of speed, no one in the entire "Witch's Sin" can match him, even Jellal's meteor may not be able to catch up with him.
"Isn't your magic just to reduce other people's physical sense? The people in these guilds are not simple. Are you sure this kind of debuff magic is effective?"
Kongno raised his head in defiance and puffed out his chest like a proud and noble white swan.
"Do you think everyone is like you, doing nothing for the past two years? I have learned a lot of speed-enhancing magic, and combined them to create a new kind of speed magic!!"
"It's different from you who only fights with cards made by others!!"
What?! You said that to me?!
Kong Nai's delicate expression changed and she became furious. She felt so angry that her chest hurt and she had difficulty breathing. She stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't.
Because she is really lazy and likes to eat a lot, she has become plump and white in the past two years, and her development is even faster than Melty who is still growing.
Fortunately, the meat grew where it should grow.
What stands out is a talent!
“Oh do——!”
"It is worth noting that, because in the past three days, 'Crow's Tail' has eliminated four people in the Duel Mode, and the remaining two have participated in the Competitive Mode, so no one can participate in this competition!"
After these words were spoken, the audience finally realized the meaning of the "elimination mechanism" of this competition.
"No one's on stage? Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Well~ It's an unpopular guild in the first place, who would want to watch it whether it plays or not?"
"That being said, we only have this one person left who can go on stage..."
In addition to the fact that no one is available for 'Crow's Tail', the 'Blue Pegasus' ranked seventh, which had four eliminated, has only one substitute left, and he has not appeared yet.
"Who is our substitute?"
"I don't know. It seems like I haven't seen it since the beginning..."
"I heard that this person was specially recommended to the president by Brother Yi Ye. He should be very strong, right?"
Xiang, Lian, Ivan, Jenny and others looked towards Yiye at the same time.
Yi Ye lowered his eyebrows and sneered, his short body exuding an extremely strong sense of confidence: "Hehehe... This is my treasured secret weapon!"
"Someone who is as strong as me!"
The five people were shocked at the same time: "What?! Not inferior to One Night Sensei?!"
The 'Snake Princess' Scale' position...
"This competition is up to you, Shirley!"
Shirley, who was entrusted with an important task, felt indignant. She put her hands on her hips and complained to the president, Granny Obama, Jura and others: "So, why do you want me to race with those people?!"
"No matter how you look at it, I'm not the type that relies on physical strength, right?!"
After saying this, he shook the huge fruit in front of him, full of hints.
Leon and the others could see that although her expression was very dissatisfied, she was very proud in her heart.
Jola patted her shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, since magic can be used in the competition, your physical strength is more than enough!"
Shirley's magic, puppet show, can manipulate non-human objects, which is why 'Snake Princess Scale' sent her into battle, because she only needs to let the ground carry her and run.
Although a wizard's magic power and physical strength have something in common, they are not exactly the same. So in this case, Shirley, who can use magic power instead of physical strength, has an advantage over others.
"But my magic power is not high. As a woman, my physical strength is inferior to those men..."
"Shirley!! How can you have such thoughts!!"
Leon interrupted her with a loud shout, then looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Compared to me, your situation is much better!!"
Although he was very powerful and [believed] to be on par with Kira in the two famous guilds of the former Kingdom of Fiore, 'Fairy Tail' and 'Snake Princess' Scale', on the first day, he was easily defeated in a very humiliating way, so that Leon has not yet come out of his low mood.
What made Leon even more depressed was that Inbel, who defeated him easily, also performed extremely well on the second day.
Although the opponent did not win the "Naval Battle" competition in the end, it was also because the opponent was a wizard of the level of Jura, Erza, and Urtia.
Leon was angry and resentful that he had not fulfilled his promise to "defeat the opponent with ice shaping magic". He was afraid that he would never be able to get back at his mistake.
“Uh… hehe…”
Several people looked at this guy who suffered a crushing defeat on the first day and hadn't even participated in the competition. They felt both distressed and amused, and didn't know how to comfort him.
