Chapter 507 World Changes, Two Consecutive Championships in the Grand Magic Games!
Inside the Fairy Tail guild, the members of the remaining group gathered together, listening to Makarov recount his experiences after Tenrou Island.
"A future world without Chase, seven years later, the Dragon King Festival —"
Laxus had removed his incongruous gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gleaming with disbelief. "I never imagined that something like this would happen to you after that day—"
After the Sirius Group disappeared, information was provided by Lahar and Dolanbart, who witnessed the entire battle, as well as a few soldiers.
The group that stayed behind knew that their companions had encountered the black dragon Acnologia, known as the "Dragon of the End," and that the "Crimson Dragon" they spoke of, which was filled with divine pressure, was most likely Osiris, the sky dragon summoned by Chase.
As for the arrival of the five gods and the clash between the Dark Archmage and Ankhseram, Lahar and the others were completely unaware that the sky, earth, time, and space were severely distorted at that time, making it impossible to see from the outside!
Although Mystogan deduced from the last glimmer of white light, which resembled "Anima," that the companions on Tenrou Island had most likely traveled to some unknown world, Laxus also agreed with this statement (it was their only hope).
But he never expected that it would be the same world seven years later!
"Mystgang was right, we thought he was just trying to comfort us," Bisca remarked, resting her chin on her hand.
Beside her, Mira gently held the baby Asuka, who occasionally let out a clear laugh, while Erza hid far away, staring at her with wide, beautiful eyes.
For the first time, the all-powerful fairy queen genuinely admired Mira, her nemesis and rival in love.
After all, if it were her, she would definitely be flustered the moment she encountered Asuka!
Macao stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at Wakaba with an arrogant air: "Hahaha, did you hear that, Wakaba? In that world, I was the fourth guild master!"
Wakaba picked up his pipe, wanting to take a long-awaited puff, but was too frightened to move by the aura emanating from Erza and Mira, which resembled demons from hell—Little Asuka was still here.
Helpless, he had no choice but to put down his pipe and turn to his old friend in a sarcastic tone: "Yeah, thanks to you, Fairy Tail was at the bottom of the class for seven whole years."
"Damn it! What do you mean by that?!" Marcao broke down on the spot.
Gina and the others covered their mouths and chuckled, while Romeo silently turned his head away, unable to bear watching.
"No, that's not true. Mr. Macao's guild is excellent. Even though it was driven out of town, it's still full of vitality~" Wendy thought of Macao's future haggard appearance.
Her kind heart meant to speak up for Macao, but her friends perceived it in the opposite way.
The remaining members of the group couldn't hold back any longer. They burst into laughter, slamming their fists on the table and mocking Macao for not even being able to save the guild.
"That, that wasn't me!" Marcao blushed furiously, deeply regretting his earlier boasting.
"So, how have your results been in the Grand Magic Games over the past two years?" Makarov ignored his explanation and asked Laxus.
As a major project requiring seven years of preparation, the Eclipse Project will certainly involve a great deal of preparatory work.
In other words, the plot here should be largely the same as the original story. In the first year after their disappearance, the Fiore royal family should start the first Grand Magic Games.
Upon hearing this, the group of people who were teasing Macaque all stood up straight, their faces beaming with pride, and their movements were remarkably synchronized.
Laxus sat up slightly, his words carrying a hint of pride that he had "lived up to expectations": "We were lucky; we got first place for two years."
"First place for two years?" Chess murmured in surprise.
This result was somewhat unexpected.
Although all members of Fairy Tail in this world have training guides provided by the Dark Magician, making their overall strength far superior to that of the original series, with the main team missing, they can easily secure a top-three finish against established guilds like Boa Hancock and Blue Pegasus. However, achieving a two-peat would be quite difficult.
Unless Laxus personally participates, there is a rule in the Grand Magic Games that "guild leaders" cannot participate.
"Hmph, Chase, even a cunning card player like you has his unexpected moments, don't you?"
Marceau started bragging again, recounting their championship victory: "In the first year, Laxus transferred the interim president position to Romeo, who led us in the competition. We even crushed Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints from Boa Hancock's Scale!"
Perhaps because Fairy Tail's momentum remained undiminished and Ul's Sabertooth guild was coming on strong, the other veteran guilds did not treat the Grand Magic Games as an ordinary festival as they did in the original story, and they went all out from the start.
"Then last year, the organizers specifically created a rule for Laxus, which prohibits anyone who is nominally the president from participating."
With her hair longer and a more mature, sophisticated air, Leqi brought over a barrel of wine and continued, "However, Laxus went to Edolas and brought back Mystogan and Miss Nightwalker, so we still won a resounding victory!"
After more than two years of improvements, the turbulent situation in Edolas has been completely stabilized by Prince Mystogan. As long as sufficient magic power is provided, the Anima Passage can be opened at any time for travel.
"There's such a thing?!" Lucy was stunned.
Mystogan and Erza from Edolas are just too unfair!
"Wow, how terrifying! That Laxus actually came up with these methods!"
"Lagusas, you're not an imposter, are you?"
Natsu and Happy reacted even more dramatically, covering their heads with their hands and claws, their faces filled with terror, as if they had been greatly frightened.
In their understanding of winning the championship, Laxus should be like a monster with bloodshot eyes, unleashing a barrage of lightning that blasts the arena and the city of Crocus into ruins.
Laxus glanced speechlessly at the two startled individuals, but ultimately decided against giving them an electrotherapy treatment. Instead, he sighed heavily and said in a deep voice, "There's no other way. We have to win the championship no matter what."
During the period when the Sirius Group disappeared, the entire guild was plunged into a great crisis due to both internal factors and the external environment.
It wasn't that he had changed his simple and brutal nature, but rather that if he didn't, countless claws would reach out and tear Fairy Tail to shreds—the position of the First Guild of Ifiore meant that the outside world wouldn't be entirely dominated by Blue Pegasus.
Saberbite Tiger's ironclad allies!
Upon hearing this, Chess and the others all fell silent.
A single, concise sentence is enough to express the hardships and difficulties our partners have faced over the past two and a half years.
"Well done, Laxus, and the others." Makarov raised his hand and patted Laxus on the shoulder.
Seeing his once rebellious and arrogant grandson transformed into the reliable person he is today, a mixture of relief and heartache welled up in his eyes.
Upon receiving the old man's affirmation, Lagersas's eyes once again involuntarily welled up with tears.
However, he quickly composed himself, straightened his expression, and said in a serious tone, "Grandpa, in the two and a half years you were gone, the Council underwent tremendous changes."
"Several members of Congress, including Speaker Crawford Simm, have been purged and dismissed, replaced by even more troublesome figures!"
