Arugadius glanced at Lucy's Protoss Key and said, "The flow of time in the Protoss Realm is different from that in our Asland."

“That’s right.” Lucy nodded.

"Therefore, Celestial Spirit Mages possess the power of spacetime, but they are unable to unleash it."

Arugadius said, "And the door behind me allows me to use that power."

"When the sun and moon overlap—"

"That is, July 7th, three days later."

July 7th!

Everyone was shocked; this period was a very sensitive time for everyone!

Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and even all the dragons of the Dragon Slayer Mages who were raised by dragons, all left on this day!

Natsu has been making a ruckus in the guild every day, and everyone has already etched this day into their hearts!

"Is it just a coincidence?" Gray pondered.

"Do not move!"

Suddenly, a large number of soldiers surrounded them.

The group immediately huddled together, back to back, watching Algadios and the soldiers who had suddenly appeared and were showing signs of aggression.

"Is this a trap?" Gray asked, his eyes half-closed.

At this moment, a little old man slowly walked out.

"Your Excellency Minister of Defense, what do you mean by this?!" Arugadius was surprised; on the surface, he seemed to know nothing about the matter.

"I also want to ask you, Arugadius, why did you leak such state secrets to outsiders?" The Defense Minister said with a grim face.

“They are not outsiders, sir. You should know their importance in this plan,” Arugadius said.

"This matter is complex and cannot be decided unilaterally by you," the Defense Secretary said.

"No!" Algadius suddenly became agitated: "Is it just because you oppose this plan?!"

"Shouldn't we?!" the Defense Minister roared. "You actually want to rewrite history! Haven't you considered the dangers of doing such a thing, brat?!"

"Time is not something to be trifled with!"

Chapter 240, The Final Day of the Grand Magic Games

"Be careful, they're fighting amongst themselves," Gray whispered to the others.

"What should we do?" Lucy was a little nervous. This time was different from other times. In the past, she had fought against dark mages and the like, and had a legitimate reason. But this time, she was facing the kingdom's army.

Just as everyone was struggling with this decision.

But then the Minister of Defense announced, "Arugadius is suspected of treason. Arrest him immediately, and Lucy Heartfilia too! Everyone else, get out of here!"

"Huh? What does this have to do with me?" Lucy looked completely bewildered.

'boom'

Natsu burst into flames: "You bunch of guys, I don't know what you're up to, but if you want to take Lucy away, I don't care who you are, I won't allow it!"

"Stop! Don't use magic here!" Algadius shouted a warning.

"what?"

Natsu was taken aback.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from behind, and Natsu felt his magic power being frantically drained away.

“Idiot, the Eclipse Gate was built to absorb magic!” Gray said.

"hateful."

Natsu angrily wanted to unleash even more powerful magic.

"Natsu, don't be impulsive!" Just as Gray was about to speak, Natsu suddenly unleashed his magical power.

However, the suction force of the Eclipse Gate also increased at the same time, and in an instant, it drained Natsu's magic power.

'puff'

Natsu lay on the ground, unconscious.

'Huahua'

All the spears were pointed at the remaining men.

“Here, even ordinary soldiers could easily overwhelm and kill powerful mages like you. For your own safety, stop resisting,” the Minister of Defense said.

“Sir,” Gray said coldly, “Lucy is our family. If something happens to her, I don’t think either of us wants to see what happens afterward.”

“This is not under my control,” the Defense Secretary said. “It was not my intention to take action against you and arrest Miss Lucy; I did it for the sake of this country.”

"Here's some advice for you."

"If you can win the Grand Magic Games, I will try to arrange for you to meet His Majesty. His Majesty is kind-hearted and may show leniency when dealing with your companions."

"Go all out!"

Gray and the others returned to the guild.

Tell them what happened.

Everyone looked serious.

Makarov said, "Lucy has been innocently dragged into a terrible plan."

“In other words—” Laxus said, “only by winning the Grand Magic Games can we have a chance to save Lucy.”

“His words may not be credible; they may just be a delaying tactic,” Gray said.

"What's the point of discussing this anymore!" Natsu roared. "Lucy is in danger! What does the Eclipse Project, the opposition or the supporters have to do with Lucy? We should be saving her right now!"

He was tied to a pillar, and as he became agitated, his body was on fire, and he was about to break free.

"Idiot, don't be impulsive again." Laxus punched Natsu's flames, then said, "The opponent is the Kingdom, we must be careful."

“Lucy should be out of danger now. No matter what happens afterward, the Eclipse Project hasn’t been exposed yet, and they won’t punish Lucy without cause,” Gray said.

"Um"

Makarov pondered for a moment, then asked, "How is Yefrit?"

Mirajane said, "He developed a high fever in the evening and was delirious. He took some medicine and his temperature came down. He's sleeping now and we probably can't wake him up. Even if we do, he might not have the energy to think of a solution right now."

"Hey--"

Everyone sighed.

Without Yefrit, things feel so difficult.

“It’s just a cold,” Laxus frowned. “That guy is very physically strong, how could he have gotten to this point?”

Everyone was also worried.

I feel like things aren't going well lately.

Yefried suddenly fell ill, and her condition relapsed repeatedly.

Lucy was kidnapped again.

Now everyone is forced to get involved in a huge plan.

"In short—" Laxus said, "For Lucy's sake, we must win the Grand Magic Games!"

“But we also need to be prepared for both possibilities,” Gray said.

The Grand Magic Games, the final day.

The change of leadership at Fairy Tail surprised everyone, but since the reason was unknown, there wasn't much to say.

Players on the field —

Wearing a coat, the Laxus exudes a very imposing aura.

With her brows furrowed and in a foul mood, Erza exuded a terrifying aura—looking like she could explode at any moment. The commentator, Chabadi, even trembled as he introduced her.

Gray had a cold expression and his droopy eyes gave him an aggressive look.

Mirajane, who usually wears a gentle smile, had her smile gone and her expression turned cold today.

and also

"I've heard that Fairy Tail fighter Yefrit has been sick lately, and I thought he wouldn't be able to participate in today's match, but I didn't expect him to stand here so stubbornly."

Chabati said, "But is it really okay for him to compete in this condition?"

Yefrit looked like she was seriously ill; her steps were unsteady, her face was listless, her complexion was unusually red, and she had a fever-reducing patch on her forehead.

No one answered Chabadi.

Chabadi did not dwell on the issue.

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time."

"Yes--"

"We have added a special guest team today—"

"Its name is—Valiel's team!"

"Oh—" The whole audience cheered, knowing that the team next to appear was led by the national idol—superstar Emily!

"The Valiel family has actually brought glory to their ancestors in this way," Yefried said with some emotion.

His voice was somewhat hoarse, which made everyone more worried.

Is there no problem with Yefrit in this state?

"The first person to appear is—Alice Vallière!"

Alice possesses an unparalleled beauty and an extremely exaggerated figure. She used to love wearing form-fitting clothes, but now she loves wearing maid outfits—because her goal is Ikaruga. Ikaruga's successful rise to power has encouraged her, and she realized that being a maid is also a viable path!

The girls around Emily were all big stars.

After all, they always followed Emily, wherever she went.
