"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Seeing Laxus arrive, Moen didn't waste any more time and immediately called everyone together; now it was really time to set off.
Once everyone was ready, Moen looked at Mistergang, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded, preparing to proceed as previously agreed.
"Buzz!"
With a flash of golden light, the solemn and dignified [Gemini Gold Cloth] appeared on Moen's body. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, then stretched them forward sharply, palms facing forward. Purple light shone in his palms like a boiling nebula, and the powerful magical fluctuations caused the surrounding air to tremble and distort.
"Another dimension!"
Magic surged like a tidal wave, accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound, and space was forcibly ripped open, revealing a deep purple opening, like a bottomless vortex ready to devour anyone.
A powerful suction force pulled at the surrounding dust and fallen leaves, and the light was distorted and swallowed at the edges. Everything seemed to be being absorbed. It was a passage, a passage to another world.
Heading to Edolas is much more convenient with Moen's [Other Dimension] than with Mystogan's method using "Anima," so we naturally used that method directly, and Mystogan was responsible for leading everyone inside.
"Follow me!"
Mystergan took the lead and rushed into the vortex of the [other dimension], where he was instantly sucked in.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Natsu shouted and leaped inside. Without hesitation, everyone in Fairy Tail followed him in. Of course, they had no reason to doubt Moen.
Seeing this scene, neither the "Blue Pegasus" nor the "Four-Headed Hound" men backed down; Goldman,
With the two presidents, Bob, leading the way, Pakas, Ichiya, Hibiki, and Retis followed suit.
Before long, the entire "Edras Expeditionary Force" entered the [Other Dimension]. Only after Moen also entered did the [Other Dimension] lose its magical support and silently close. The purple light dissipated as if it had never existed, leaving only subtle spatial ripples that gradually subsided.
As soon as Moen emerged from the portal opened by the [Other Dimension], he heard everyone discussing the matter. The mages were astonished that they really couldn't use magic in this world.
"This world is terrifying!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, their voices filled with unease and helplessness. For the mages of "Aislandon" who had become accustomed to the presence of magic in their lives, the feeling of having their magic completely stripped away and their inner power drained like a dry well made the world seem like hell!
The most terrifying thing is not only that there is no magic in this world, but that they are also unable to use the magic within their own bodies!
At Mystergang, people have already started lining up to receive the "red pills".
The reason why Moen and Mistgang didn't distribute the gifts in advance was intentional, so that they would experience the powerlessness in this world. This would definitely be a very memorable experience for them.
After receiving the "Red Pill" from Mystogan, the mages finally felt relieved. Although the situation was still somewhat dangerous, at least they were no longer powerless. As long as they didn't overdraw their magic power, they would be fine.
After settling down, everyone had time to observe this strange world. The natural landscape, so different from "Aislandon," drew gasps of amazement from everyone; they had never seen anything like it before.
"Who are you people?!"
As everyone was curiously observing this strange other world, someone approached and was startled by the group of people.
However, after seeing these people's faces clearly, the man's expression changed, and his gaze finally locked onto Moen.
"?! Is it someone from Eslandon?!"
Jet of "Edras" had met Moen before. When he saw Moen bringing a group of people, including many familiar faces, Jet of "Edras" immediately understood what was going on.
"You, you, you!!!"
After Jet from "Edras" appeared, there was a commotion on the Fairy Tail side. Jet stepped forward with a surprised look on his face. The two Jets from different worlds faced each other, their eyes full of astonishment.
"Hello, me from Eslandon."
Jet from "Edras" reacted and greeted him. Since Moen's last visit, they had been mentally prepared to see "theirse selves from another world," but they didn't expect Moen to bring people so quickly!
"Hello...you..."
'
Jet responded somewhat awkwardly. The reason for his awkwardness was that he knew that this "Edras" Jet was the strongest candidate for "Fairy Tail" in this world, and their strength and positions in the guild were obviously worlds apart.
The conversation between the two, and the scene of them standing together, are like reflections inside and outside a mirror, yet they carry completely different auras, giving everyone a clearer understanding of this other world. It turns out that there really are parallel world versions of them in this world!
Of course, it makes no difference to the "Blue Pegasus" and "Four-Headed Hound" either, because they have already been wiped out in this world, all of them killed by the "Kingdom Army".
"Are you... really going to attack the Kingdom of Edolas?"
Jet of "Edras" didn't care about these trivial matters. He looked at Moen and asked with a hint of expectation in his voice.
If the last time Moen first arrived in this world of "Fairy Tail," these cowardly dogs, terrified by the "Kingdom Army," didn't dare to even think about resisting, they simply tried to dissuade Moen from going to his death.
After Moen wreaked havoc in the imperial city and killed the notorious Moen Darkning, they had completely different expectations for these visitors from another world. Perhaps, they really could do it.
Even without saying it, they all understood in their hearts that everyone was already looking forward to it, hoping that Moen could really bring the army of "Aislandon" to "Edras" and completely overthrow the brutal rule of the "Edras Kingdom" over the magical world.
Although the Mage Guild has been wiped out, with only Fairy Tail clinging to life, for them, the overthrow of the Edolas Kingdom can be considered revenge for everyone.
"That's right, we're here to end all of this."
Moen nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"Great! Mr. Moen! Please come into the guild and have a seat! Fairy Tail will be happy to welcome you all!"
Jet of "Edras" was so excited he almost jumped up, a huge smile instantly spreading across his face, his voice trembling slightly.
He extended an invitation to everyone. They certainly wouldn't be of much help in overthrowing the "Kingdom of Edolas," but they could certainly welcome the "Expeditionary Force" and give them a place to rest.
"Good, this will give everyone a chance to get used to this world."
Moen glanced around at his companions, who seemed both nervous and curious, and nodded in agreement.
The reason he chose Fairy Tail in Edolas as the landing point for the [other dimension] was...
The guild area is designed to provide a place for everyone to get used to their surroundings before landing, so they don't have to jump right into battle.
Please follow me!
Seeing Moen nod, Jet of "Edras" happily led the way.
Actually, the location of the Fairy Tail guild has changed this time. It is no longer the place where Moen was last time. The reason he was able to locate it here is, of course, because the crows he left behind played a locating role.
This means that if Moen wanted to, they could simply parachute into the capital of the "Kingdom of Edolas," and he had also arranged for crows to be on standby in the capital.
But that would be too hasty and could easily turn into "Operation Market Garden," so there's no need to take that risk. Therefore, Moen opted for "Fairy Tail" as a safer choice, allowing everyone to get used to it first.
The main group followed behind Moen, and no one objected to the decision.
The Fairy Tail crew members were naturally very excited, since they could visit Fairy Tail in Edolas and maybe even encounter their counterparts from that world.
The mages of "Blue Pegasus" and "Four-Headed Hound" had no objections; they were also very curious about this world's "Fairy Tail." Since they couldn't see their counterparts from another world, they wanted to see "Fairy Tail" from that world.
It can also satisfy one's curiosity.
Soon, the group arrived at the Fairy Tail guild hall of Edolas. The strange treehouse-like building surprised everyone. Its appearance was completely different from that of Esland, and it was impossible to tell that they were the same guild.
However, everyone soon stopped caring about appearances, because a group of people filed out of the Fairy Tail treehouse, each one so familiar yet so strange.
Their clothes were mostly patched, and their faces showed the weariness and caution of long-term evasion of capture, leaving everyone speechless for a moment. A strange silence and scrutiny filled the air.
Looking at the Fairy Tail group, whose numbers were clearly out of place and which appeared unusually deserted and sparse, Laxus frowned, clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
Moen had previously said that Fairy Tail in this world was like a stray dog, with many people sacrificing themselves in the war, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"A bunch of useless trash...weak people shouldn't be in a guild."
Laxus's voice was cold and deep, like the friction of metal. His gaze swept over the guild members who seemed to be of average strength and even somewhat timid, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.
What's the use of a guild being united and friendly? When facing a powerful enemy, the weak will only hold you back, will be easily killed, and may even cause the strong to sacrifice themselves for them. Just look at Fairy Tail in this world.
"That's terrible..."
'
Although Laxus didn't speak loudly, the three members of the "Thunder God" group were standing right next to him and naturally heard his insightful comments. All three of them agreed with Laxus's statement.
The main reason was that the remnants of Fairy Tail deeply moved them. Not all those who remained were strong, and many of them had already sacrificed themselves to protect them.
Laxus stood with a sullen face and arms crossed, like a cold statue, and did not chat warmly with the Fairy Tail members of Edolas like the others.
He and the "Thor's Gang" didn't even go inside; they just stood in the shadows outside the treehouse, completely out of place with the noise inside.
Laxus felt that he was better off without the "Edras" version of himself; he would not allow a weak version of himself to exist.
His experiences with Fairy Tail in Edolas were like a cold hammer, striking his heart heavily and making Laxus even more determined in his beliefs.
Only absolute power, only the strong, can protect the guild and prevent such a tragic end!

Inside the guild's treehouse, Gray and Natsu looked speechless, because both of them were in the guild during the "Edras" version.
Seeing the "Edolas" version of them, with their arms around each other's shoulders and looking like best buddies, really made the two brothers feel uncomfortable.
The sight of Gray in Edolas wrapped in a down jacket was particularly unacceptable to him; it didn't look like him at all!
Of course, the same thought also arose in the minds of the "Edras" version of them. Gray in "Edras" looked at Gray, who was shirtless, and felt very puzzled.
"Why isn't he wearing clothes? Doesn't he feel cold? And even if he doesn't feel cold, he shouldn't be without clothes, right?"
Gray muttered to himself, “Edras,” unconsciously pulling his down jacket collar tighter.
These words were a fatal blow to Gray. He looked down at himself and, sure enough, his clothes were nowhere to be found. In fact, he had already taken them off before coming over, and the others hadn't even bothered to remind him.
"This is what I am like in another world..."
Lucy looked at the "Edras" Lucy opposite her, who was dressed smartly, had sharp eyes, and exuded an unquestionable aura, and muttered to herself, feeling as if she were looking in a funhouse mirror with a completely different style.
Levy is also feeling alienated from her counterpart in this other world; her alternate self is an inventor?!
Of course, in Edolas, the otherworldly versions of Levy and Lucy, who replaced Mirajane and Erza in their respective ecological niches, also seem quite strange to look at these two Lucy and Levy who are at least superficially ladylike and artistic.
"Sure enough, we only look the same, but different life experiences have shaped us into two completely different people."
Levy pushed up her glasses and spoke softly to Lucy, her tone carrying a philosophical undertone.
The two exchanged a glance, both quite moved. Actually, this was for the best. If their counterparts in the other world were exactly the same as them, that would be a truly terrifying thing.
Hello~
On the other side, Mirajane from "Edras" spoke first, her voice as gentle as ever, but upon closer listening, it seemed to lack the resilience that comes with weathering storms; it was more like an innate quality...
Unrefined suppleness.
Hello~ It's nice to meet you.
Mirajane responded with a gentle smile, but her eyes were brighter and more determined, carrying a sense of clarity that comes from having experienced darkness and regained light.
On the surface, the two seem to have the most similar personalities, but Mirajane herself understands that the Mirajane in "Edras" is fundamentally different from her.
She can get angry, she can fight, and she still often shows her former "bad girl" side. When it's time to stand up for herself, she can also step up and show the aura of an "S-class mage".
Mirajane, who is "Edras", has probably always looked like this since she was a child, always with this gentle and easy-to-bully appearance. The difference between the two is actually very big.
The two stood together, their faces similar, yet they exuded completely different auras. One was like a flower carefully nurtured in a greenhouse, while the other was a resilient rose that had weathered storms.
The group hadn't been together for very long, and after exchanging only a few words, the invisible barrier created by their vast differences in personality and experience made everyone a little restless.
Moen wasn't surprised at all, because their personalities were so incompatible, even completely opposite. Even if they had the same face, it would be difficult for them to truly become friends, and their interactions would feel even stranger.
Of course, it didn't necessarily lead to a complete breakdown in relations, since everyone shared similar values. Even within their respective guilds, their personal relationships weren't necessarily very close.
Personality differences are inevitable, but as long as basic values are sound, people can still be partners, family, and close comrades in the same guild.
Seeing that everyone had gotten used to the environment of "Edras", Moen declined Lucy's invitation to stay for a meal and instead asked everyone to regroup.
"Everyone's settled in pretty well, right? Once you're settled, let's set off. Destination: the capital of the Kingdom of Edolas! We're going to settle this score in one battle!"
Moen stood up, his voice not loud, but it clearly pierced through the slightly noisy conversation, carrying an undeniable determination.
"I can't wait! Let's set off! I want to have a good chat with the powerful figures of the Edolas world!"
Avenge the four hounds of this world!
Packas and the "Four-Headed Hounds" were shouting, their eyes burning with fighting spirit and the flames of revenge.
Watching the mages of "Fairy Tail" interact with their counterparts from another world, they were actually a little envious. Therefore, they couldn't wait to meet the Kingdom Army of the "Four-Headed Hound" who destroyed "Edras".
"Let's go! Let's go!"
The already uneasy crowd responded enthusiastically, with the members of "Fairy Tail" preferring to immediately go and...
Wang Guojun fought to the death.
