Chapter 221 A Person Who Doesn't Belong to This Era
It was said to be a little while, but by the time the Chaos Black Magic completed its transformation of Nirvana, the sun had already set.
This made Lucy curious about the concept of time held by magic explorers like the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician of Chaos.
Although Nirvana's magic core successfully changed from "reversing light and darkness" to "detecting good and evil," the problems related to its enormous size and power system have not yet been resolved.
Considering that the allied forces were exhausted after fighting all day, Chase suggested going to the Nebbit territory in the southwest corner of the Wisswood Forest, which is where Wendy's guild, the Cat Lodge, is located.
After all, he was the creator of Necrophos, so it would be better to consult Robin about making use of it.
Even though he had guarded Nirvana for over four hundred years, waiting for someone to destroy it, he certainly wouldn't refuse such a thing.
At the same time, we can also get the design blueprints and operating mode of Nie from him, so that the new Nie in the magical weapon version can reach perfection.
Incidentally, Wendy's matter can also be resolved at the same time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
No one objected to this. They were more curious about how Chess knew the location of the Cat's Abode.
Even Jura, one of the Ten Holy Ones, knew very little about this mysterious guild.
Not to mention him, even Wendy, the mage of the Nephalem Ridge, was completely baffled that everyone in the guild had actually created Nephalem's descendants.
"I met with President Robin during the Lalabai Magic Flute incident, and I also got some information from the battle with Wu just now, so it shouldn't be wrong," Chess said.
Since Wu is already dead beyond any doubt, any explanation is reasonable.
Upon hearing this, Jurauru and the others, who had been looking puzzled, immediately realized what was going on.
After handing over the method of controlling Nexus to Chess, the Chaos Black Magician and the Chaos Swordsman, having successfully completed their task, returned to the card space.
So, led by Wendy and guided by Chase, the enormous machine began to move through the forest, stirring up clouds of yellow sand.
They set off in a grand procession for the Cat's Abode.
After a period of travel, Robin, who was staying at the Cat Inn, soon felt the violent tremors caused by the earthquake.
Stepping out of the thatched hut resembling an ancient tribe, and surrounded by a group of anxiously waiting mages, Robin saw a familiar yet terrifying behemoth under the dark night sky.
The old man, unaware that the Oración Seis and the Dark Guild had been apprehended, still believed the alliance's operation had failed.
His eyes flashed with determination, showing that he was determined to live and die with the entire guild and clan!
Then, the psychic mages, including him, whose faces were filled with despair, saw a familiar figure rushing down from the sky.
"President, and everyone else, we're back!"
With wings of a transcendent being sprouting from her back, Xia Lulu arrived ahead of time with an excited Wendy, landing in front of the group at the Cat Lodge.
"Wendy? Charlene? What happened?" Robin Lu frowned, somewhat confused.
"President, we've successfully defeated the Oración Seis!" Wendy was as happy as a child who had just gotten a perfect score on a mock exam.
Wait, no, she was indeed still a child at that time.
"Why is Nana here again?"
Robin seemed to sense something was amiss, abruptly looking up at Nemesis who had approached, then abruptly changed the subject, "Wait, this feeling—"
Something's not right!
Even though it was in the activated state, he couldn't sense the slightest super-magical energy fluctuations from Nirvana in front of him!
At the same time, the constantly shaking ground calmed down, and Nie stopped moving forward.
At the top of the tallest building in Nie, Chess transformed into a golden stream of light and leaped out.
"It's been a long time, President Robin."
He greeted Robin Lue in a rare, respectful tone, "You don't need to worry. After the transformation, Nephew no longer has the ability to subvert light and darkness, good and evil."
"Brother Chess? I didn't expect you to be involved in this operation to defeat the Oración Seis."
Robin had seen Chase at a previous meeting, and at that time he had asked Chase to take good care of Wendy if she encountered any trouble.
The subsequent events, such as Phantom and the Tower of Paradise, made him even more impressed with this outstanding young man.
"What did you mean by 'modifying Nirvana'?" Robin asked tentatively.
"President! Mr. Chess is really amazing! Not only did he defeat the true president of the Oración Seis, but he also made Nemuru very safe!"
Wendy raised her hand to answer.
"Well, I'd say he's a fairly reliable man," Xia Lulu added.
For someone as aloof and proud as her, this was already the highest level of praise.
Robin scratched his head, still somewhat confused.
If I understand correctly, in such a short period of time, this young man, Chase, disassembled and reassembled the magic he had painstakingly created?!
How is that possible!
His guess was confirmed by Chess's explanation and by the subsequent arrival of Urjura and others.
Robin, who could not stop Neru and could only place his hopes on destroying him, was greatly shocked and stood there speechless for a long time.
"Finally, my mission has come to an end—"
"We can end this now—"
Looking at the peaceful and tranquil Nirvana before him, and the incredibly familiar city streets above, he finally accepted the fact that Nirvana had failed, and two streams of hot tears flowed from his cloudy and tired eyes.
The surrounding Neko-no-Yoku mages also smiled slightly, revealing a relieved expression.
The scene was hard for the Allied Forces, including Wendy and Charlotte, to understand: even if they had created a descendant of Nephew, this reaction was still too strange.
"On behalf of the guild alliance, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you all for your bloody battles!"
Robin quickly realized his lapse in composure, subtly composed himself, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed deeply to the crowd.
"If you don't mind, why don't you stay in the village for the night?"
The sudden change of topic successfully diverted most of the attention:
One night, he and his three underlings shamelessly asked for credit again, and awkwardly danced over there:
Nazhabi turned around and began to stroll around the village, looking here and there, casually commenting on Wendy's guild;
This overly familiar and impolite behavior made Lucy's eyes go black, and her inner voice kept complaining.
Erza and Ul, with their keen eyesight, noticed the sadness hidden beneath Robin's smile.
However, since Robin was unwilling to say more, they naturally wouldn't be so bored as to ask questions in this situation. They could only thank him for the invitation. Thus, the exhausted group was led to their respective guest rooms by the mages of the Neko-no-Yū (Cat Inn) and temporarily settled in the village.
Chess then followed Robin to the chairman's house, which was located in the very center.
"I thought this thing would disappear along with me, but I never expected it would come out again."
Robin took out an old magic book from a dusty wooden box in the corner of the house; it was the Necrostructure blueprint that Chess wanted.
After learning of Chess's idea to transform Nephew into a "harmless" magic that could detect good and evil, he thought it over and over again, but ultimately chose to believe in the bright young man in front of him.
"Thank you, President Robin." Chess accepted the book and expressed his gratitude.
Even without structural drawings, optimizing the structure wasn't particularly difficult for him; it just required a little time and effort.
What made him express his heartfelt gratitude was mainly Robin Luis's trust.
After all, no one understood the dangers of Nirvana better than he, its designer!
"No need to thank me. The fact that Nebula can function in this way is perhaps a more valuable destiny than destruction," Robin waved his hand and let out a heavy sigh.
His original intention in developing this magic was to quell the constant wars and conflicts, but he overlooked the proper balance between light and darkness.
As a machine that detects good intentions and evil thoughts, it only serves as an early warning system, so there is no such thing as personality backlash, and it can prevent many unnecessary man-made disasters in advance.
He agreed with Chess's idea and believed that Fairy Tail could allow the improved version of Necrophos to play its proper role!
This trust comes not only from Makarov, who has maintained peace in the magical world for many years, but also from Chase's many righteous acts in the past!
Chess stored the blueprints and books into his card, then looked at the short, white-bearded Robin Lu before him and said in a deep voice, "President Robin Lu, so you really are the creator of Necrophos, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Robin Lu was taken aback at first, then nodded slightly.
Having learned that Nirvana could no longer harm the world, he, who had already been "dead" for many years, had no reason to continue existing in the world.
Wendy couldn't stay in the fake guild forever, so he had already decided to tell everyone the whole truth first thing tomorrow morning.
I just didn't expect that Chase would notice this beforehand.
"Truly worthy of being the young mage on whom Makarov placed such high hopes—."
After saying that, Robin put his hands behind his back, turned around, and stared at the guild logo of the Cat Inn on the wall.
Now that things had come to this, he had no intention of asking Chase how he found out; he only wanted to take one last good look at Wendy before leaving forever.
I covered her with the blanket again and watched her muster the courage to step towards the light.
This was the only thought on the mind of the old man who had persevered for over four hundred years with only the last vestiges of his magic.
Seeing this, Chess stopped disturbing the old man, bowed slightly to his back, and slowly left the house.
Although he possessed the god-tier card Monster Resurrection, Robin Lue's actual death was too long ago, making resurrection impossible.
Even if it were true, Robin Lue's personality would make it impossible for him to accept it—he simply doesn't belong to this era.
