Chapter 722: Matters Resolved
Chapter 722: Matters Resolved
After shrinking the royal capital and presenting it to Mistgun, Feng Ye returned to the Fairy Tail guild with Lisanna and Erza in tow. They spent two days at the guild.
Two days later, Feng Ye bid farewell to the guild, setting off with Lisanna and Erza by his side. During the journey, he contemplated what to do with this version of Erza.
In the end, he set her free.
With the royal capital gone, Erza naturally lost her target of allegiance and would no longer bear any enmity towards Fairy Tail. The guild had also resolved its grudge against her.
Thus, there was little point in continuing to restrain her, and Feng Ye had no inclination towards such perversions.
However, instead of feeling liberated, Erza found herself at a loss, unsure of her purpose. After much hesitation, she turned to Feng Ye, requesting to become his follower.
"Follow me?"
Feng Ye was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a wry smile. "Let's forget about that."
Erza knelt on one knee before him, biting her lip as she said, "But I don't know what else to do."
Feng Ye smiled at her and said, "How can you not know what to do? You can still maintain order in this world. With the royal capital gone, chaos will ensue. If you're willing, you can try to bring the towns under your control and become the new queen."
"Queen...?"
Erza was stunned for a moment before shaking her head vigorously. "I... I can't do that."
Feng Ye countered, "How do you know you can't if you haven't tried?"
"I..."
Erza was at a loss for words.
In the main world, Erza had become a queen who founded a new dynasty without any issues. While this world's Erza had a slightly weaker will, she would still be more than capable.
"Haven't you untied the knot in your heart? Your true goal has always been to make this world a better place. Now that you're free, work towards that goal."
Feng Ye smiled at Erza, a relaxed expression on his face.
He then paused for a moment, raising a finger and pointing it at Erza.
Buzz!!!
A beam of white light shot out from his fingertip, landing on Erza's head and entering her body. It filled her to the brim, a surging force.
This white beam was Feng Ye's magic, rapidly entering Erza's body, swirling and rolling within her, reshaping her very being.
"Umm..."
Erza felt a torrent of heat flowing within her, a sensation that was difficult to endure. She tried to struggle, but her body remained rooted to the spot, immovable.
Fortunately, the process didn't last long.
Soon, the white beam faded, and she regained control of her body. Standing up, she clenched her fists and asked, "What did you do to me?"
She now spoke to Feng Ye with reverence, for in her understanding, he was no different from a god.
"I modified your body a bit," Feng Ye replied casually. "Don't worry, I just helped shape your source of magic and bestowed upon you a portion of my power. You'll have even stronger abilities than before."
Erza sensed the changes in her body and said, "I can feel your power flowing within me. Thank you for this gift..."
She took a deep breath and knelt on one knee before Feng Ye again as a gesture of gratitude.
She opened her mouth.
"..."
She wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent. Instead, she raised her hand and clenched it into a fist, sensing the power coursing through her body—a power stronger than what she had before.
Finally, she tightened her fist, took a deep breath, and a glimmer of determination shone in her eyes.
Feng Ye's power resided within her, and since he wanted her to become the queen of this world and maintain its order, she would do her best to fulfill that wish! This was the task he had given her.
After firming her resolve, Erza turned and disappeared into the distance.
...
In a certain canyon.
Having been pulled by Feng Ye to instantly traverse a distance of several hundred miles, Lisanna was not too surprised, as she had long grown accustomed to his spatial magic.
She casually looped her arm through Feng Ye's and smiled sweetly. "Sister Erza would indeed make a great queen. I think this world's Erza would be suitable as well."
"Mhm, I think so too."
Feng Ye smiled back, then lightly waved his hand, sending Lisanna floating into the air. He stretched his body and then reached out to catch her as she fell.
Looking ahead, he admired the view and said, "Let's explore this world now. The scenery here is much better than that of Earth Land."
Lisanna snuggled up to Feng Ye's neck and then remembered something. "By the way, how's my sister doing?"
Ever since they had arrived in this world, she had been unconsciously drawn to the affairs of this world, especially with Feng Ye by her side.
Now that everything was resolved, she immediately thought of her sister.
Feng Ye gently patted her on the head, dislodging her from his body, and said, "Mira's fine, and so is your brother. But Mira made a grave mistake this time, acting too arrogantly and putting all of you in danger. So, I've punished her by confining her for a month."
"I believe that after this lesson, she'll mature a bit."
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Lisanna stuck out her tongue. "Mira can be a bit impulsive sometimes. It would be nice if she became more like this world's Mira."
"She probably will change in that direction."
Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing Lisanna's words.
In truth, he had already seen glimpses of the future and was certain that after this incident, Mira would shed her hot-tempered personality and her delinquent demeanor, transforming into a gentle and adorable poster girl, just like her parallel self in this world.
"That would be nice."
Lisanna blinked and then turned her head to look into the distance, her face brightening as she waved her hand. "Look over there, Feng Ye! There's a huge mushroom! Let's go take a look!"
"Sure."
Feng Ye readily agreed.
Lisanna immediately ran forward energetically, while he followed behind with his hands behind his back, taking in the scenery of Edolas's floating islands, reminiscent of a sprite world.
