Chapter 189

"So that's how it is."

"It seems we have misunderstood Mr. Aizen."

……

For a moment, the resentment on the faces of the allied army vanished, replaced by deep apologies toward Aizen.

Because they were also well aware of the Dazuisi Sect's strength, and Aizen had already expended a great deal of power opening the passage, only to be ambushed by the opponent.

Moreover, despite being seriously injured, he had still persevered to come and rendezvous with them.

This kind of willpower had already far surpassed that of the vast majority of people.

However, Aizen, who had just arrived, seemed not to have noticed everyone's words.

One could see Aizen's face filled with anxiety; before he had even fully approached, he had already shouted loudly.

"Everyone gather over here. The space of Rain Hidden Village has already begun to collapse. Now I am preparing to open the passage again and take you back to the original events."

Leave?

Right, they could still open the passage and leave.

Upon hearing this keyword, Ultear and the others instantly woke up, hurriedly leading the allied army toward the direction where Aizen was.

And at this moment, Aizen had already begun his chant.

Along with the chanting of the curse art, the passage opened once again.

However, perhaps because of his injuries, this passage was not stable.

Seeing this, Makarov immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone pass through the passage quickly!"

Immediately, all the allied army began to rush in rapidly; in fact, they did not even need Makarov's reminder.

The space behind them was collapsing — if they didn't run, were they staying to die?!

Therefore, with extremely swift movements, everyone quickly passed through the passage and returned to the Bobu Society president's mansion where they had started.

"Finally... we're back..."

Stepping out of the tunnel and feeling the dry and fresh air, everyone almost felt like crying.

Although they had imagined this battle would be extremely difficult, they had not expected it to be terrifying to such an extent.

Within the entire allied army, only the Saints Ten had actually displayed combat power; the remaining mages were basically just there to make up the numbers.

Moreover, the final appearance of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had utterly erased the entire battlefield.

If Aizen had not arrived at the critical moment, everyone would probably have already perished!

It could be said that this crusade was a failure for the allied army in every possible way.

Not only did they fail to defeat a single opponent or recover Dragon's Cry, but several mages within the allied army had also fallen into eternal slumber.

The Famine Knights, the Four-Headed Hound...

Wait...

These were undoubtedly a heavy blow to the mages present.

At the same time, it also allowed them to see the true nature of these organizations.

In pursuit of their goals, they truly would stop at nothing.

"So terrifying. I really don't want to face such enemies even once." Lucy said, panting heavily.

The successive opponents she had faced had nearly caused her to collapse; if not for companions like Natsu and Erza helping her all along, she would have died in Rain Hidden Village long ago.

"Yeah, that power comparable to a deity — if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe such a person truly exists."

Jura said in a low voice from the side.

As one of the Saints Ten himself, he had ended up having to rely on others' protection.

Although he knew there was a huge gap between the Heavenly Kings and the Saints Ten, for him it was still hard to accept.

"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, huh. Compared to the Monu Sect's Jealousy magic, her strength probably wouldn't be much weaker."

"These two organizations have actually colluded together."

In fact, this trip was not entirely without gains.

The news brought by the final appearance was undoubtedly shocking.

Aizen had previously worried about these two organizations joining forces; he had not expected that in the end this thing had really happened!

At the same time, they had also witnessed the moment Ōtsutsuki Kaguya made her move.

That kind of power, able to casually erase an entire island from space, had already far exceeded the bounds of their cognition.

More importantly, they had also heard from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's own mouth that she had reached a preliminary cooperation with the Monu Sect's Jealousy Witch.

For the Fapingyi Society, and even the entire world, this was undoubtedly an catastrophic disaster.

"It seems we must make more preparations. This matter must be reported to the Fapingyi Society as soon as possible."

"The ancestor of shinobi, the Jealousy Witch..."

"This is no longer something that our few guilds can resolve."

Thinking of this, although he still had some injuries on his body, considering the intelligence was too shocking, Makarov still decided to transmit the news at the first moment.

Leaving a few people to look after the wounded, Makarov, who still barely had some mobility, took a group of people and left the Bobu Society president's mansion.

However...

The instant they had just stepped out, they were stunned by the scene before their eyes.

Because before their eyes at this moment, mountains were shattered and great trees uprooted.......

The entire Gas Tree Sea, as if struck by a natural disaster, had nearly a third of its forest destroyed.

Deep craters from the explosions could be seen everywhere on the ground!

"What is going on?"

"While we were away, what exactly happened in the outside world?"

……

The news of the dragon in the Gas Tree Sea ultimately spread out, and along with it spread the decision of the Akatsuki Organization and the Monu Sect to join forces.

And the emergence of these two matters inevitably had an enormous impact on the entire Magic World.

For a time, even though Lin Cheng did not deliberately use public opinion, the reaction of the world had already developed in the direction he had anticipated.

Because of this, the entire Fapingyi Society is now in a state of utter distress.
