Chapter 712: Edolas
Chapter 712: Edolas
Edolas, one of the many worlds parallel to Earth Land, was never meant to intersect with it. Yet, due to the Ultra Space Magic, a connection between the two worlds was formed.
From high above in the sky, one could see that this world was composed of countless islands of various sizes floating in the air, forming a grand and vast realm.
Compared to Earth Land, this world seemed more like a realm of magic and fantasy, with an appearance and style reminiscent of the world Alice encountered in Wonderland. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
On one of those floating islands...
In the center of a soft grassy patch, Lisanna lay quietly.
Drop!
A drop of water trickled down the edge of a huge flower petal above and landed gently on her nose tip, causing her to frown slightly as she began to wake up.
Lisanna rubbed her slightly throbbing forehead and sat up, looking around at her surroundings with a bewildered expression. "Where am I...?"
Her mind quickly flashed back to her previous memories.
She recalled being knocked away by Elfman, who had lost control of his Beast Soul, and how her body had gradually turned transparent before flying into the air and disappearing.
"...Is this the afterlife? Heaven?"
Lisanna stood up, still a little dazed, and began to observe her surroundings while making her way through the bushes. She soon reached the outside.
As she walked past a gigantic mushroom, the scene before her caused her to pause and stare in astonishment.
There!
Beneath towering trees that reached into the clouds, a massive guild building stood. And the emblem on it was one she was all too familiar with.
It was the mark of the Fairy Tail Guild!
This was the Fairy Tail Guild in a parallel world of Edolas.
"A guild...?"
Lisanna's eyes widened in surprise.
She didn't remember Fairy Tail having a branch in any such place.
After a brief hesitation, Lisanna took a step toward the guild and made her way to the entrance. She cautiously pushed the door open.
Creak!
As the door opened, Lisanna stood at the threshold, peering inside. The sight that greeted her was equally astonishing.
There, she saw familiar faces—Natsu, Mira, Gray... Despite their different attire, their appearances were almost identical to their counterparts. They were all gathered inside the guild.
At that moment.
Mira and Natsu, along with the others in the guild, stopped what they were doing and turned toward the door, their eyes falling on Lisanna's figure. A moment of silence ensued.
Then, their silence turned into joyous exclamations!
"Lisanna!!!'
Mira was the first to rush over, her face lit up with joy and relief. She threw her arms around Lisanna, holding her tightly. "I'm so glad, so glad... You're alive. I thought you were gone forever..."
Natsu, Gray, and the others joined in the celebration, their voices echoing throughout the building. "Oh wow! Lisanna's back!!!'
"Sister..."
Lisanna, embraced by Mira, momentarily stunned, soon realized what had happened. It seemed that her previous disappearance had led everyone to believe she was dead, and her sudden reappearance had brought about this overwhelming joy.
It seemed to be the case, but Lisanna soon noticed something amiss. There was something odd about the guild members.
Natsu was unusually timid!
Gray was dressed like a cotton ball!
Elfman had turned into a meekling, trembling as he was scolded by Doranbolt and the others.
Lisanna's forehead broke into a cold sweat as she was held in Mira, Lucy, Wendy, and the others' embrace, murmuring uncertainly.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
"This is Edolas, a world parallel to Earth Land."
"!"
Lisanna turned her head in surprise.
And there, she saw Feng Ye standing at the entrance of the Fairy Tail Guild, pushing the door open and walking in with a casual smile on his face.
"Brother Feng Ye!"
The moment Lisanna laid eyes on Feng Ye, she knew it was the same Feng Ye she was familiar with. She struggled free and immediately ran towards him, throwing herself into his arms.
Feng Ye looked at her gently and smiled, not backing away or dodging her embrace. He stood there, letting her hold him, and reached out to pat her head soothingly, calming the turmoil in her heart.
However.
While Lisanna rushed to him without hesitation, the others were more cautious.
Mira and Elfman eyed Feng Ye warily, and many of them even drew their weapons, their gazes filled with suspicion.
"Hey! Who are you? Spill it!"
Lucy, holding a magic whip, stepped forward, her eyes sharp and menacing as she glared at Feng Ye.
Feng Ye didn't belong to this world, and as such, there was no parallel version of him in Edolas, making him a complete stranger to the people here.
It's worth mentioning that.
In Earth Land, Lucy would join the Fairy Tail Guild two years later, but in this world, Lucy was already a member at this time and had even become the strongest member in the guild.
Furthermore, in this parallel world of Edolas, most people's personalities and appearances were the opposite of their Earth Land counterparts, just like Natsu, Gray, and Lucy.
Additionally.
There were also cases like Wendy, where their ages were different.
But aside from these changes, most people's names and physical appearances remained largely the same.
As Feng Ye comforted Lisanna, he took a moment to assess Lucy and Mira, who were standing closest to him.
He could clearly see that aside from the lack of magical power sources within them, which was present in their Earth Land counterparts, there seemed to be no other discernible differences, inside or out.
In truth, the power system in the Fairy Tail world was far less advanced than in the Soul Society, but because of the existence of numerous parallel worlds, the overall scope was much larger than that of a single Seireitei and Hueco Mundo.
"Lisanna, who is he? Is he the one who saved you?"
Mira, looking slightly tense, turned to Lisanna, having deduced from her actions that she seemed to know Feng Ye well and trusted him deeply.
Hearing Mira's question, Lisanna was now certain that this was indeed not the world she had lived in. She released her arms from around Feng Ye, lifting her head from his embrace to look at Mira and said, "Mira, I may not be the Lisanna you know..."
"What do you mean you're not the Lisanna we know?"
Lucy furrowed her brows, looking at Lisanna with a questioning gaze.
Feng Ye smiled gently, patting Lisanna's shoulder reassuringly before turning to face Lucy and explaining, "Let me explain. Simply put, the situation is like this..."
