Chapter 71

"The power I am using now is one of the abilities brought about by these eyes."

Upon hearing Uchiha Itachi's words, Makarov also fell into a silence.

Yet, within his gaze, a sharp light was constantly flickering.

0 ......... 0

"Power of a god?"

"Is this a power unique to this world?"

"And that special ability he mentioned, that must be his trump card."

Makarov's mind was constantly analyzing; Uchiha Itachi's few simple sentences had instantly sketched out a brand-new world within his heart.

Having lived for more than half a lifetime, Makarov's experience was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

In the past, he had flipped through many ancient texts for the sake of adventure, and those texts contained records that the world they inhabited was not the only one.

On the other side of space, there existed a world named Edolas; in their words, their own world was called Earth-land.

This was not the only one; the other end of Edolas seemed to connect to yet another world, Elentear!

Just like the Grand Line and the Soul Society from before, these organizations that had existed for hundreds, or even thousands of years, were very likely connected from another world!

The battle was still continuing, and the combat at the level of the Ten Wizard Saints was erupting with astonishing power.

Among them, the battle between Jura and Kisame Hoshigaki was the most violent!

Between Rock Magic and Water Release, the two were constantly changing the terrain of the battlefield.

One moment it was mountain peaks, the next it was a vast ocean, dazzling to behold.

However, with the home-field advantage.

Although it looked evenly matched at the start, as time passed, the members of the Akatsuki organization began to gradually gain the upper hand in the process of the battle.

Boom——!

Blocking a strike of explosive tags from Konan, Warrod, seeing that the situation was not looking good, shouted loudly.

"Ichiya, you guys finish up as soon as possible; the situation for the others is not optimistic."

Controlling the entire battlefield, Warrod was directing everyone while facing off against Konan.

As one of the founders of Fairy Tail, Warrod's magic was primarily for support, with relatively few offensive means.

Especially against an opponent like Konan, who could constantly change her body's form and possessed the ability to fly, it was simply impossible to take her down in a short time.

Therefore, Warrod intended to use a snowball tactic, choosing a breakthrough point to break through, thereby pulling away personnel to support others' battles and increase their side's chances of winning.

Without a doubt, Sasori, who had lost the Third Kazekage puppet, was targeted by Warrod.

Sasori's opponents were Blue Pegasus's Ichiya, the Trimens—Hibiki, Ren, and Eve—and one Class Mage from the Four-Head Hound assisting them.

"Yes! Lord Warrod."

"Power: MAXMEN!"

Inhaling the fragrance, Ichiya's muscles instantly bulged.

His short, slightly chubby body directly transformed into a tall, muscular hunk, and he charged straight out!

At the same time, the other few mages followed along.

However...

Facing the siege of several people, despite losing the Third Kazekage, there was not a trace of panic on Sasori's face.

"Hmm, to think a few small fries want to deal with me; it seems I've been underestimated."

Saying this, unhurriedly, he took out the third scroll.

"Come to think of it, I haven't used this ninjutsu in a long time; today I'll let you have a look!"

Bang——!

Smoke exploded, and in the next second, above Sasori's head, hundreds of puppets emerged once again.

He stretched out his right hand, tore open the clothes in front of his chest, and revealed his own body, which had already been transformed into a puppet!

"He... could it be that he has turned himself!"

Standing to the side of Sasori, Ichiya said in astonishment.

"That's right, I have also transformed myself into a puppet!"

With a bang,

In the view of everyone, Sasori lifted the chest cavity on the other side of his heart, erupting with countless blue threads that connected to the puppets in the sky.

"Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"

"In the past, I conquered an entire kingdom relying on this ninjutsu!"

Now, the only gap has also been completely closed!

Magic and ninjutsu.

Flames, giant rocks, puppets, explosions, and all sorts of powers bloomed on the battlefield.

The collision of powers triggered even more powerful forces.

The terrain previously created by Warrod was also changing; the barriers disappeared, and what was triggered was an even more chaotic engagement.

And just at this moment, while everyone was engaged in fierce combat, no one noticed a pair of eyes watching the entire battlefield.

……

"All arrangements have entered the right track, so it is time to start the next step of the action."

At the highest point of the Rain Village, Lin Cheng's figure slowly emerged.

Passing through the rain to watch the battle below, a faint, calm smile appeared on his face.

"Unbind, Sloth!"

"Bind, Nagato Uzumaki!"

And as the words fell, Lin Cheng formed hand seals.

With a bang!

Smoke exploded, and Lin Cheng's voice had already disappeared; when he appeared again, he had already changed into the appearance of Jellal.

Lifting his head to look at his current appearance, Lin Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

The next moment, behind Lin Cheng, space began to shatter.

Silently, cracks spread continuously across space, and then it exploded with a roar.

The world suddenly plunged into darkness, and when it appeared again, it was already at the mansion of Master Bob of the Allied Forces where they had gathered at the start.

Immediately following, he took a step and walked out.

At the same time, the moment he walked out.

A gaze instantly fell upon Lin Cheng, who had transformed into Jellal.

"Finally appeared!"

And the owner of this gaze was Racer, a member of the Oración Seis who had been searching for Jellal all along!

Through special information channels, the Oración Seis naturally learned the news of the Allied Forces attacking the Akatsuki organization.

According to intelligence, Brain had dispatched Racer to lie in wait at the mansion of Blue Pegasus's Bob, but he didn't expect that when Racer arrived, he had unexpectedly missed his target.

If it weren't for the caution of waiting a few more hours, he would have lost track of the target's movements by now.

"After doing so much, finally, you've taken the bait."

Although he didn't deliberately observe, Lin Cheng knew that the person whose gaze he felt was likely someone from the Oración Seis.

According to the original plot, after the Tower of Heaven incident, Brain had been searching for Jellal's trail in order to obtain Nirvana.

Likewise, Nirvana was also one of Lin Cheng's goals.

This was Lin Cheng's fourth objective.

In a sense, the importance of Nirvana was no less than Lin Cheng's previous goals.

With the extraction and strengthening of the puppets, the energy consumed by the battle was also becoming more and more.

Although he could recover the puppets' abilities through rest, Lin Cheng did not like that.

Nirvana, a super magic that could swap light and darkness.

It was actually a city where the ancient Nirvit tribe lived, capable of absorbing the darkness in human nature and making them yearn for the light.

But where there is light, darkness can never fade away.

Under the constant breeding of the darkness in human nature, the balance was eventually broken.
