Chapter 720: Ruler of a Nation
Everyone, including Lucy, remained stunned even after Sha Ge finished his story.
Feng Ye didn't wait any longer. As soon as Sha Ge concluded his tale, he waved his hand, sweeping all the transcenders from the guild into the spatial passage and sending them to another world—the world of Edolas.
"Transcenders were made up...?"
"And we were fooled for so long."
Lucy slowly came back to her senses, still incredulous.
Even Erza was stunned. She had always believed that transcenders were all-powerful beings who controlled life and death, but now, in front of Feng Ye, their veil had been easily pierced.
Feng Ye smiled nonchalantly. "It's understandable. Even the kings of your world are still in the dark, including Erza here."
"... "
Erza lowered her head silently.
The Erza from this world was slightly different from the main world. While her counterpart would never easily submit, even to powerful beings, this Erza believed in the strong ruling over the weak, and thus, she had always been cautious toward the transcenders.
Now, however, after witnessing Feng Ye's strength and seeing how easily he exposed the truth about the transcenders, Erza's loyalty was wavering.
Feng Ye's power and knowledge far exceeded her imagination.
"Your Majesty..."
Lucy sighed, then suddenly remembered something. A hint of worry crossed her face as she glanced at Erza beside Feng Ye. "Erza was defeated by you, but the kingdom will definitely send more people. They must be gathering their forces as we speak."
Feng Ye waved away her concerns. "Yes, they're probably gathering their troops, but don't worry. After the banquet, I'll take you there and help resolve this issue."
"Okay."
Lucy nodded.
Everyone temporarily set aside this matter and returned to the banquet, chatting and laughing until the feast finally came to an end an hour later.
"Can you really handle the entire kingdom's army by yourself?"
Levy looked at Feng Ye with a hint of anxiety. "There's a cooldown period for the teleportation magic that brought us near the royal capital. During that time, we won't be able to use it again, so if we're in danger, we won't have a way to escape."
Lucy suggested that Levy use her teleportation magic to bring the entire guild near the royal capital so they could follow Feng Ye and put a stop to the kingdom's pursuit. However, Levy still had her worries.
"Rest assured," Feng Ye said with a chuckle. "Seeing how worried you are, I'll tell you that I can also use teleportation magic. If you all want to come along, I'll bring you with me."
As he finished speaking, Feng Ye raised his hand and waved forward. A massive magic array appeared and enveloped the entire Fairy Tail guild building.
Then,
to Levy and Lucy's amazement, the building suddenly shook, and when they looked out the windows, they saw an entirely different landscape.
Levy and Lucy exchanged glances, then rushed to the windows and doors, awe-struck by the view outside.
They could see
that the outside world had changed to the royal capital of Edolas, but they were on the outskirts of the city!
Feng Ye had single-handedly moved their entire guild building outside the kingdom!
"This..."
Lucy and Levy were stunned.
Even Lisanna, who had come from Earthland, was amazed. Although she had experienced Feng Ye's spatial magic before, this time, he had moved an entire guild building!
It was hard to fathom the depth and power of Feng Ye's mastery over spatial magic, and on top of that, he displayed an unfathomable talent in other magical disciplines as well.
"To be honest, I'm not really in the mood to deal with them.
"Then, let's do it like this."
After striking this pose, Feng Ye smiled faintly.
...
Inside the kingdom.
Aside from Erza's Second Magic War Unit, the other three major Magic War Units had already assembled. The captains of the First, Third, and Fourth Magic War Units had also gathered outside the palace.
At that moment, their expressions held a hint of surprise, having just received news of Erza's defeat, which they found hard to believe.
"After so long, there are still those who dare to defy my orders, and Erza has been defeated. What a disgrace to her title as a Fairy Hunter!"
King Faust emerged, gripping his scepter tightly as anger flashed in his eyes. He glared at the three captains of the Magic War Units before him and commanded, "I want you to find that Fairy Tail Guild and crush them completely! Obliterate them from this world!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The three captains of the Magic War Units bowed their heads in acknowledgment.
But just then, the ground suddenly shook, causing the nearby kingdom soldiers to stumble, and even King Faust had to steady himself with his scepter.
"What's happening?!"
Faust steadied himself and looked around with a mix of surprise and suspicion, demanding an explanation.
Silence.
The sky suddenly darkened.
The three captains of the Magic War Units wore astonished expressions, and they looked up at the sky. They froze briefly before their faces contorted in shock and disbelief.
"Wh-What is that?!"
Looking up, they saw an enormous face blocking out half the sky!
King Faust craned his neck to look up, and his entire body trembled in fear as he sat down hard on the ground, his face a mask of shock and terror.
"A face... a human face..."
First Magic War Unit Captain Pantherlily's forehead was beaded with sweat as he stammered, "Is... is it human? How can it be so huge... This is impossible..."
Just one face was enough to block out half the sky, and if a hand were to press down, it would surely crush half the royal capital into dust!
And then,
An even more astonishing event occurred. The huge face in the sky gradually multiplied, and three to four enormous faces loomed overhead, blocking out the sun.
And on those faces, there was an expression of awe and disbelief.
The perspective quickly shifted upward.
From Faust's perspective and that of the others, the enormous faces belonged to Lucy, Lisanna, Mira, and Levy, but they hadn't grown larger. Instead, Faust and everyone else in the kingdom had shrunk, along with the entire royal capital!
Mass Magic!
The magic that could arbitrarily alter the size, shape, and form of matter!
Brandiish, one of the Twelve Shields of the Western Continent, could instantly shrink a country into a palm-sized model, and Feng Ye could undoubtedly do the same!
Therefore,
The scene that unfolded before Lucy and the others was that of the grand and majestic royal capital being enveloped by an enormous magic array that blocked out the sun. Then, in an instant, it shrank rapidly!
Finally, the entire royal capital, along with all its inhabitants, was reduced to a cake-sized model and was received into Feng Ye's palms, floating there.
A country in the palm of his hand!
Almost everyone present had the same thought.
Is this truly...
Something a human can do?
