Chapter 410

"Could it be someone from another world?"

Wendy asked curiously.

Powerful strength, unknown identity—apart from someone from another world, Wendy could not think of any other identity.

"No, it probably isn't."

Erza shook her head.

In fact, in the instant Erza had just burst in, while noticing Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin, she had also detected the three of them—Ogaust and the others—at the same time.

After all, anyone who could make it this far could certainly not be a weakling.

Unlike the people from another world she had encountered before, Erza felt a powerful oppressive aura from their bodies, and this oppressive aura made her absolutely certain that the other side was using magical power—the same kind of power as theirs.

At the same time, Erza could also feel that each of those oppressive auras was no less than that of the Heavenly God Serena back then, and Ogaust in particular gave her a feeling of unfathomable depth.

And the only ones who had ever given her that feeling were Bai Huzi, Ace's old man, and Aizen—and both of them were without exception the most top-tier of strongmen.

Even Serena back then had never given them such a feeling,

but...

What Erza could not understand was that the three people before her were each so powerful, yet she did not recognize a single one of them—this could not help but raise a sliver of doubt in her.

While Erza and the others were analyzing Ogaust's group,

at that very moment, a blinding pillar of light shot up into the sky from afar.

In an instant, the entire Misty Plains were lit up like Bai Zhou, even brighter than Bai Zhou itself.

Along with the rise of this blinding light, the mist was gradually dispelled, and everyone present saw this entire otherworld clearly for the first time.

Even though they had imagined it before, the moment they actually saw it, the stunning scene before their eyes left everyone present—including those profit-seekers after the 'Great Will' fragment—thoroughly dumbfounded.

Against the backdrop of the Misty Forest, on a plain so vast it stretched beyond the horizon, over a thousand terrifying Bai Jing floated, drifting through the air as if swimming in the sea.

And at this moment, all the Bai Jing had gathered together, circling around a great tree that stood towering into the heavens at the center of the plain, presenting a magnificent scene.

"Is this the true face of this world?"

Lucy gazed at the pillar of light, her face full of awe as she spoke. "This is just too stunning?"

"What a huge tree—how tall exactly is this thing!" Gray said, his face full of shock.

"And what's going on with that light? It can even blow the mist away."

Erza said with a solemn expression: "I'm not sure, but it can be confirmed that it should be related to the 'Great Will fragment'."

Just now, when everyone had gone to observe the strange sight before them, she had also noticed that at the instant the strange sight appeared, the expressions of Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin had shifted ever so slightly.

For existences as powerful as them to have such a reaction, it could only be the 'Great Will fragment' they had come for.

Seeing the scene before them, the three of them also revealed shocked expressions, but beyond the shock there was even more pleasant surprise.

Although they were not clear on exactly what was happening, by observing the eyes and gazes of the others, they could also guess that the 'Great Will fragment' had appeared.

Seeing this, Ogaust immediately said,

"Timaria, Wal—go on ahead!"

The previous Ogaust had also seen clearly that Toushirou would absolutely not let them off, let alone now.

Rather than all three staying behind and wasting time here tangling with them, it was better to split up—one side staying behind to hold them off, the other side searching for that 'Great Will' fragment as quickly as possible.

However, both Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin were no weaklings, and the Monu Sect could catch up at any moment—the only one who could hold them off was him alone.

"Yes! Lord Ogaust!"

And after hearing Ogaust's words, Timaria and Wal, after a brief pause, made their decision.

Magical power surged, covering their entire bodies, and the two then transformed into a streak of aurora and vanished into the mist.

"Want to leave? It won't be that easy."

Seeing Timaria and Wal seize the chance to escape, Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin naturally would not let them go so easily—long swords in hand, they had already struck.

However, Ogaust at the side circulated his magical power, fixing an extremely sharp gaze on the two ahead, preventing them from acting to stop it.

Rumble—!

A new battle erupted in an instant!

"Go!"

Gazing at the scene before her, Erza also spoke up at this moment.

The 'Great Will fragment' was now within reach—there was no reason not to fight for it with all their might.

Bending her legs, Erza immediately leapt out; while leaping she switched into her Sonic Armor, chasing after the two ahead at extreme speed.

Seeing this, Natsu and the others quickly followed.

The contest for the 'Great Will fragment' was not limited to just the people before them.

"The 'Great Will fragment' has appeared—we must take it. Full speed ahead!"

Precht far on the other side had naturally also noticed.

After separating from Erza and the others, he was currently with Jellal, converging with his own guild members, piloting a magical airship at extreme speed toward the front.

Apart from the people above, there were also those profit-seekers within the forest

Clearly, the people of the entire otherworld were going mad for the position, surging toward the center from all directions like waves.

However, these people were generally weak; before they could even get close, they died miserably in the mouths of the Bai Jing.

Only a very few people broke through the Bai Jing encirclement, but even if they broke through the encirclement, what awaited them was other competitors.

In an instant, corpses could be seen everywhere across the entire battlefield, fresh blood staining the plain,

"．'We clearly discovered it first, yet one after another they come to snatch it away—isn't that just too uncouth?'"

Everyone's ears only heard such a flat, cold voice coming from behind them.

And at the same time they turned to look, their expressions also changed abruptly.

(De Li's)

Not far from them, at the edge of the forest, a group of figures suddenly appeared.

And the identities of these people went without saying—nowadays, there was no one in the entire world who did not know them.

"As expected, they've caught up."
