Chapter 178 - Chapter 178: The Plot is Revealed, Lucy Recovers

"Your Council certainly has a good plan~"

"Killing three birds with one stone."

"Are you treating our Fairy Tail Guild like monkeys?!"

"Boom~"

Golden magic power instantly surged out.

The challenge letter and a stack of papers in Zorn's hand were instantly shattered, and cracks began to spread across the entire room under the pressure of the powerful magic power.

"Bang~ Speaker?...Are you...alright?!"

A group of soldiers instantly burst through the door, all pouring into the room, fiercely pointing their javelins at Zorn.

"Clang~"

"This... this kind of magic power..."

The soldiers who had just been holding on were instantly pressed to the ground by this powerful magic power.

Only a captain in uniform, wearing glasses, could still lift his head, trembling and speaking in fear.

"Calm down, this is the Council!"

"Don't forget you are one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Do you want to betray the entire kingdom?!"

The Speaker slammed his cane to the ground, and his magic power instantly released as well, but it only barely resisted the erosion of Zorn's powerful magic power.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't said that; once spoken, even more terrifying magic power surged out from Zorn's body.

Golden light filled the entire room.

"Boom~"

"Ahhh~"

It directly forced the Speaker's magic power back around his own body, while the other soldiers were sent flying by a huge force.

What happened?

You only allow the Council to act first, but not me to retaliate; there's no such logic in the world.

"So please give me an explanation!"

Zorn slightly compressed his magic power, and instantly, the area was covered with tiny golden spheres of light.

The Speaker was also struggling to hold on at this moment, feeling troubled in his heart. He hadn't expected Zorn to directly mention "killing three birds with one stone."

His and the other Council members' intentions.

The first was to make Fairy Tail stand out and directly confront Tartaros.

The second was to use this to provoke dissatisfaction from other Guilds towards Fairy Tail, and incidentally, to introduce a Grand Magic Games competition for Guild rankings.

The third was to collect all the magic power from Everyone in all the Guilds through the competition.

This way, the Eclipse Gate could return to 400 years ago and defeat the dark Magician Zeref.

This was also what the Fiore Kingdom intended to do, and their Council was merely cooperating.

This last one was a top-secret plan; it was impossible for anyone to know about it!

Could there be a spy within the Council?

The Speaker gritted his teeth, thinking this to himself.

P.S. Mest: "I'm not taking the blame for this!!"

Zorn looked at the Speaker, who was still dazed in front of him, his patience completely worn out.

He formed a sword-finger with his right hand, drawing a cross shape.

He shouted loudly: "Explode!"

Each golden light sphere shone brightly, creating a daytime effect.

"Zorn, you..."

"Boom~"

In the Speaker's terrified gaze, Zorn directly detonated all the light spheres.

...

On the other side, at the Fairy Tail Guild

"So that's what happened, but the more I look at it, the weirder it gets!"

Everyone from Fairy Tail surrounded Lucy in a circle.

"So, I'd like to ask Everyone for help!" Lucy's tone was very low, and her expression was utterly helpless, though Everyone couldn't see it.

"I don't think it matters."

"I think it's quite interesting, why don't we just go to work like this, Lucy! Hehehe!"

Natsu, as optimistic as ever, leaned close, touching Lucy little by little, and then chuckled to himself, imagining the fun of their upcoming work.

"Aye~"

"How can we just go to work like this, you idiot, Natsu!"

"Everyone, please, think of a way! Is there any magic that can dispel this magic effect?!"

Lucy's forehead was covered in black lines as she loudly rejected Natsu's suggestion, then turned around slightly flustered to plead with Everyone.

She didn't want to be like this forever.

She had only wanted her body to become more translucent, so she had mixed various magic potions together.

She never expected it to turn out like this.

"Waaah~"

Lucy was practically crying her eyes out.

"This... what else can we do?" Gray and the other members racked their brains.

And when Zorn walked out of the magic circle, he saw Lucy crying very sadly.

And on the side, Levy and Freed were studying the ingredients of the magic potion.
