Chapter 758: Mutation 2
It is precisely because they admire, appreciate and pity Lucy's determination to sacrifice for her friends that they repeatedly tolerate and back down from the troubles caused by Fairy Tail. In addition to knowing that it was not their intention, the main reason is for Lucy's sake!
If Lucy No. 1 knew all this, she would probably burst into tears of gratitude.
"Since the symptoms of this world being reversed have not improved, that means that the little girl named Lucy did not do anything to affect the past, right?"
Not everyone knew Lucy, including the three deputies from the Northern Continent. The one who asked this question was the Moon Dragon Selene who was sitting in the deputy position.
Her long, dazzling golden hair fell naturally, and the half-exposed low-shoulder Japanese kimono outlined her graceful figure. Her bare hands gently waved a small round fan, showing her graceful and noble demeanor.
Selene narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a rather curious expression appeared on her delicate face with light makeup.
"Then why don't we just leave the Eclipse Gate alone?"
Even though she has joined the camp of justice, Selene is still a dragon who knows how to enjoy life. Her favorite thing is to take a bath, drink wine and watch the moon, and she does this almost every day.
In her opinion, there is no mutual hostility between dragons and humans, no oppression and exploitation between humans, and no dragons fighting over territory every day. Such comfortable, leisurely and peaceful days are simply heaven!
Therefore, Selene didn't understand why these humans in front of her had to make such a fuss about this matter, as if if they didn't do something about the Eclipse Gate they wouldn't be able to show that they were maintaining world peace.
"The power of the eclipse is extraordinary. If it goes wrong, the damage it will cause to the world will be unimaginable!"
As the creator, Zeref has an almost absolute say in this matter. "And I can be sure that this kind of destruction has already occurred since the moment Lucy opened the Eclipse Gate and walked in!"
"If it's really as you said, why haven't there been any abnormalities yet?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about! If the world is not destroyed immediately at that moment, it is very likely that this destruction is cumulative. It will accumulate slowly over time, and eventually the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, bringing about a horrific destruction that is extremely influential and may even spread throughout the entire Aslant!!"
Selene smiled slightly when she heard that. She glanced at Akunorolia, who was standing beside her with a serious face, like a stinky man who didn't understand romance, and asked, "Terrorist destruction? Can you beat this guy?"
Jellal shook his head, and just when everyone was relieved, he said again: "It may be far more than that!!"
What?! Is this true?!
Not only Selene, but even the other emperors and deputies were stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of Jellal.
Jellal's affirmative answer confused them for a moment. The most important thing was that they didn't know whether Jellal was telling the truth or just exaggerating. Although the former was more likely, after all, he was not the kind of person who would brag, but was the solar eclipse really that powerful? ?
Just as everyone was talking in low voices, a soldier in armor and holding a spear, rushed into the parliament hall panting and stopped Jellal just as he was about to say something.
"Oh no! Your Majesty!!"
Inbel frowned, dissatisfied with the soldier's rash behavior of breaking into the conference hall. As a loyal brother of Jellal, he naturally regarded this reckless behavior as an offense to the emperor.
Fortunately, Jellal himself didn't say much. He just smiled gently at the soldier who came over and said, "Don't be so anxious. Take your time!"
Jellal's smile is easy-going and friendly, too approachable, just like the big brother next door, making people feel warm and at ease.
"Your Majesty, the Eclipse Gate has responded!!"
"What?!"×N
Everyone was shocked, thinking: "We are still holding a meeting to deal with the Eclipse Gate, and it has already responded? ? The timing is too coincidental, isn't it?"
"Don't worry so much, Jellal!"
Acnorolia called out to Zeref, who was about to rush out with a suddenly changed expression. The only one who could call out to him was Acnorolia, who had absolute strength.
Twenty minutes later, under the leadership of Jellal, the four emperors and their deputies came to the basement deep in the palace where the Eclipse Gate was stored, and finally saw the changes in the Eclipse Gate before their eyes.
The dark magic was like a thick black fog that penetrated every pore, covering the Eclipse Gate from top to bottom and from inside to outside, leaving only some metal steel bars at the edge and the key of the Zodiac inserted in the door lock.
Yes, in this world, in order to open the Eclipse Gate, the twelve zodiac signs were also gathered, but Lucy did not bring them with her before entering, because it took the power of twelve keys to close the door, so they were left here, and no one moved them for a year.
"What's going on?!"
At this moment, the black magic that caught everyone's eyes was emanating from the Star Key of the Zodiac, but most people didn't know what it meant.
"This power is... the magic of the solar eclipse??"
Jellal recognized the nature of this magical power at a glance. He had been in contact with the Celestial Spirit World more than four hundred years ago. Among all the people present, he was the one who had the most ties to the Celestial Spirit World, so he also knew what this strange power meant.
"What's going on, Zeref?" Acnorolia asked in a deep voice.
A "Nirvana" has already turned the world upside down, and he doesn't want to see any chaos happen to this thing that Jellal mentioned, which is enough to affect the whole world.
"The worst thing has happened!"
A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Jellal's face as he quickly answered, "Perhaps somewhere we can't see, the power of the eclipse has caused huge damage to the flow of time. This damage has not been manifested, nor has it been resolved in time, so it has been accumulating in secret until now when it finally erupted!"
"If the Zodiac Key becomes like this, it means something must have happened in the Star Spirit World!!"
"Moreover, it's not just the Star Spirit Realm that is affected! The Star Spirit Realm is just a microcosm of the entire world's time flow. What is truly affected is time! If this problem cannot be solved, it is very likely that the entire world will suffer an unprecedented disaster!"
Seeing how serious Jellal was speaking, everyone lost their original calmness.
Even though they didn't know as much about the stars, time, and other things as Zeref did, they knew that Zeref would not lie about such things because such things would not do him any good.
What's more, Jellal is now a kind and gentle boy next door. How could he lie?
"So what should we do, Your Majesty?" Inbel asked.
The celestial changes caused by the solar eclipse affected the entire Ascalante, and the four emperors who ruled Ascalante were all present. Logically, they should have discussed it together, but Inbell only asked Jellal, and his thoughts were obvious.
Even Diabolos's president, Jorg, who had always done things without using his brain and was good at solving problems with brute force, saw through the little thoughts of the Ishgar governor and snorted with disdain.
Inbel ignored it.
What level of wizard are you, Jorg Lessen, to be ranked among the Twelve Assistants with me? If we compare strength, who among us, the original Twelve Shields, and the Dragon Clan on the other side, is not stronger than you?
If it weren't for the fact that you are the magician representative of Kiltina, would this position be yours?
To be honest, until now Inbel still can't understand why Acnorolia would choose such a reckless man as his deputy. Does Kiltina really have no one left?
"Jeff, is this a serious problem?"
Under the influence of 'Nirvana', the darker and more evil an existence is, the brighter and more kind it becomes after being reversed, so Acnorolia became the most eye-catching character on the scene.
Basically, it means being kinder than kind people, more righteous than righteous people, and brighter than bright people!
Therefore, he now seemed somewhat impatient about the changes that Jellal mentioned, which might cause a world-class disaster.
"Yes!"
Zeref replied, "In the past few months, disasters have continued throughout Ishgar, especially in the former Kingdom of Fiore. There have been floods, dry farmland, landslides, meteorites and other phenomena everywhere."
“If not dealt with promptly , these disasters are likely to occur on other continents in the near future!”
Hearing him say this, Akunorolia immediately became dissatisfied: "Such a serious and obvious thing, why have you never said it before?"
You know, Jellal had never mentioned these things before! If he had known that the eclipse would cause such a thing, he would have thought more about whether to help Lucy enter the eclipse gate.
However, Zeref obviously misunderstood. He thought that Acnorolia meant that he did not mention these disasters at the regular meeting. In his opinion, these matters involved the internal affairs of Ishgar after all, so it was normal for him not to mention them at the regular meeting.
"Because there were wizards from Fairy Tail at the scenes of these disasters, and because of other misleading events, I always thought that these things were caused by them. Now it seems that this may not be the case!"
Zeref slammed his palm in annoyance. "Damn it! I was too careless! We all blamed Fairy Tail wrongly!!"
Hey, hey, hey...do you have to be so obvious?!
We all know that you favor Fairy Tail, but what you said is equivalent to directly blaming all the damage they caused in Ishgar in the past few months on the changes caused by the solar eclipse! !
