Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

The next day, when Nate got up, it was already close to noon.

Last night, he had accompanied Lucy from Parallel World 2 to save the Fairy Tail of that dimension and, along the way, snatched an Eclipse Gate.

To be honest, he wasn't sure whether this action by itself would trigger Temporal Elasticity and split off a new parallel world.

Lying in bed last night, he thought about this problem for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.

Timelines are such troublesome things.

"When I become a god, I'll definitely consolidate all the timelines!"

He paused and thought further. If he merged all the parallel worlds into the one he lived in, would it give birth to the so-called "Great Magic World"?

Tracing things back to the source, there must have been an original, singular world before these parallel worlds split off, right?

This original source world might very well be the Great Magic World that the second master had been pursuing!

As these complex thoughts about timelines churned in his head, Nate felt a headache coming on.

What's the point of having so many parallel worlds?

After washing up, he went to the guild to find Mirajane for a free meal.

The guild was much livelier today compared to recent days. Natsu and the others were also in the tavern.

Lucy was standing at the bar, chatting with Mirajane.

Nate walked over and greeted them.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Lucy wants to learn transformation magic," Mirajane replied.

Today, Mirajane was dressed in a black dress that perfectly complemented her silver-white, slightly wavy hair, giving her an elegant aura.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn transformation magic?" Nate asked, puzzled.

"I want to turn into a raven!" Lucy clasped her hands together, pleading. "Please, Mira, teach me."

"Well… transformation magic isn't easy to learn, but the beginner level is quite simple."

Mirajane stretched out a fair finger and drew a circle in the air.

With a puff of pink smoke, she instantly transformed into Erza.

Lucy's eyes lit up. "That's it! I want to learn that! Is this beginner level?"

"Yes," Mirajane said, spinning in place to show off her black dress. She smiled. "Beginner-level transformation can't change your clothes, so they remain the same."

Mirajane's Transformation Magic 101 was officially in session! Nate chuckled to himself and decided to stick around and listen.

"What about intermediate level?" Lucy asked eagerly.

"Intermediate is like this~"

Mirajane waved her finger again. After another puff of pink smoke, she turned into Nate.

Not only did she look exactly like him, but her clothes were the same as well.

"Completely identical!" Lucy exclaimed in amazement.

Not exactly. The magic was different.

From Nate's vantage point, using Six Eyes, Mirajane's magic aura couldn't be hidden. Visually, though, it was indeed hard to tell them apart.

"And then there's the advanced level," Mirajane said, imitating Nate's tone of voice perfectly. Even her voice was identical.

"Transform~"

Another puff of pink smoke appeared, and when it cleared, a white cat stood on the bar.

"You can even turn into Carla!" Lucy's eyes widened.

"Yes. Advanced transformation magic can change the properties of the body; it's not limited to humans," said "Carla," holding up a small finger and wagging it.

"And it can go even further, like this~"

Nate immediately noticed Mirajane's magic beginning to change.

Her magical energy concentrated behind her, quickly forming a pair of white magic wings.

Mirajane hovered in the air, crossing her arms. "I can even imitate the Aera magic of the Exceeds!"

Lucy clapped excitedly. "That's amazing! I want to learn this!"

Suddenly, a thought struck her. "If you transform into Nate, can you mimic his magic?"

"That… is not possible," Mirajane replied, reverting to her normal self. She cradled her cheek with one hand and laughed softly. "You can only mimic simple magic. For more complex ones, you need your own understanding."

Nate's magic was far too advanced, far surpassing the limits of transformation magic.

"Are you still planning to learn my magic?" Nate teased.

"Never mind, I'll start with transformation magic," Lucy said, shaking her head. "Please, Mira, teach me."

"All right, all right~"

Mirajane took out a light pen and began writing a series of magical concepts in the air.

Nate glanced at it briefly and, more or less, learned it himself.

Without interrupting the two, Nate turned and walked into the kitchen.

Inside, Chef Lisanna was preparing lunch. When she saw Nate enter, she greeted him warmly.

"Nate!"

"Morning, Lisanna."

"It's already noon…"

"Don't mind me. I'll just grab something."

Nate picked up a plate, grabbed some bread from the baking tray, and helped himself to some peanut butter.

Then he slipped out of the kitchen.

Lisanna muttered under her breath, "At least heat it up…"

Back in the guild hall, Nate found an empty table and sat down to eat.

The whole-grain bread was a bit cold and not particularly tasty, but it was good enough to fill his stomach.

While eating, he observed the others in the guild.

Macao and Wakaba were sitting at a table, clapping their hands rhythmically.

The sound of clapping rang out now and then.

They seemed to be playing some kind of game called "Clap Clap," muttering things like:

"Another guy?"

"Ugh, over 40, that's too much…"

"Haha! Finally matched with a young girl! I win, Wakaba!"

Nate: "…"

Married men, still obsessed with games like Clap Clap.

If their wives found out, they'd surely get beaten.

Wait, speaking of which…

Wakaba's behavior was expected, but Macao's wife had left him. He was a single dad now.

Never mind, then.

Sweeping his gaze across the tavern, Nate noticed quite a few people playing Clap Clap, especially Loke, who seemed particularly enthusiastic. That scoundrel was definitely flirting with girls again.

As someone who could juggle nine girlfriends, Nate looked down on him with disdain.

At that moment, Makarov came down from the second floor.

"Hey, Nate, you're here."

"Master."

The old man sat across from Nate, unceremoniously taking a piece of his bread.

"Just now, the Council released its judgment on Precht," Makarov said casually as he spread some peanut butter on the bread.

"What's the result? Acquittal?" Nate asked curiously.

"No way he'd be acquitted…"

Makarov paused, chuckling as he shook his head. "He provided a significant amount of information on the dark guilds. Considering that, along with his voluntary surrender, the Council finally decided…"

Ten years in prison.

It took them about ten days of deliberation to come to this conclusion.

Nate thought to himself, The Council is as inefficient as ever.

Precht was over 100 years old. Unlike Irene, who had extended her lifespan through dragonification, he had limited time left.

Ten years in prison—he might very well die there.

Nate began considering how to intervene.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he sent a strand of his consciousness into the first Worm of Time's host body.

…

Tenrou Island.

The magic airship of Grimoire Heart descended over the island.

Two of the Balam Alliance's Giants—Grimoire Heart and Tartaros—were meeting.

Goddess of the Slave Planet, Kyôka, sat with one leg crossed over the other, exuding confidence.

"Are you planning a prison break?"
