Chapter 386

【"A lifetime... maintaining the current state??"】

【Listening to Erin's words, Black Natsu was stunned on the spot.】

【"That..."】

【Just as he wanted to say something more, Erin spoke up to interrupt him~.】

【"However, it's not like there isn't good news."】

【Her gaze fixed on Black Natsu.】

【"In this state, according to our calculations, it is very likely... that Mavis can achieve immortality!"】

【"Immortality?" Black Natsu raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and then muttered.】

【"Could it be... that because her own body is sealed, it causes her body's time to stop flowing, remaining frozen at this moment, thereby achieving immortality in a certain sense?"】

【Erin nodded gently: "This is perhaps where the miracle of magic lies."】

【"According to Mavis, the probability of this happening is extremely low, so low that even one in a thousand might not succeed."】

【"It is more likely that Mavis herself would suffer a backlash; the terrifying backlash contained within the Fairy Sphere, which was able to withstand Acnologia's roar, would likely have taken Mavis's life in an instant."】

【"But fortunately, Mavis bet on that one-in-a-thousand chance and successfully achieved an immortal body."】

【Erin felt inexplicably moved; could this be considered... a blessing in disguise?】

【"Of course, aside from having to maintain a loli appearance forever, everything else seems to be moving in a positive direction."】

Outside the sky screen, countless people widened their eyes.

Hades: "Good heavens, this is more than just a blessing in disguise; isn't this just eternal youth and immortality?"

Brain: "An immortal body... can it actually be created through such a method?"

Ur: "I think eternal immortality should be impossible; after all, even the most powerful magic power has a day when it will be exhausted."

"The backlash of the Fairy Sphere was entirely added to Mavis, and it completely sealed Mavis's time, but this seal will likely gradually fade with the passage of time."

"In the end, Mavis should still be able to break free from such a self-seal, right?"

Yajima: "But, who can say for sure how long this time will be?"

"It could be several hundred years, or even thousands of years; for humans, this already belongs to the realm of longevity."

Makarov: "Longevity... it makes me want to try it too."

Bob: "Does little Ma want to try it? That's not bad either; after all, with a one-in-a-thousand chance, I believe little Ma would definitely die on the spot."

Makarov: "Can't you wish me something good? You bastard!!"

Gao Deman: "Haha, I also think that with old Ma's luck, how could he possibly encounter such a good thing."

"However, having said that, the reason a miracle is called a miracle is because such things are difficult to replicate, so you should give up this idea."

"Enjoying your twilight years is what you should be doing."

Makarov: "I know that without you telling me, okay? I'm just sighing about it."

Mavis: "No, why do you all think this is a good thing?"

Erza: "First Master, no way, eternal youth and immortality! Isn't this kind of thing a good thing?"

Mavis: "I know... the key is... the key is that it won't grow anymore!"

"Height is secondary, the key is... that part won't grow anymore either; do you know how painful this is??"

Everyone: "???"

"Eh?!!"

【The scene on the sky screen continues.】

【"I see." Listening to Erin's explanation, Black Natsu also breathed a sigh of relief.】

【"So in that case, this crisis can be considered completely resolved, right?"】

【"Yes," Erin said.】

【"The Empire investigated along the direction Acnologia left and discovered that Acnologia had headed overseas."】

【"Therefore, it can also be considered that this crisis has been completely resolved."】

【Hearing this news, Black Natsu nodded gently, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief throughout his body.】

【He leaned back slowly against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the chandelier above.】

【He murmured: "Finally... it's over."】
