----------
Anna nervously watched Noah in thought.
She was a little worried that Noah would refuse to join their plan. After all, it was an existence that even the Black Wizard and the Fire Dragon King, two peerless powerhouses, were helpless against.
Would Noah refuse to become an enemy of Acnologia, the Black Dragon who slaughtered the Dragon race?
Of course not.
His lazy heart was already restless.
Fate would inevitably pit the 'protagonists' of two different eras in Earthland against each other. Since that was the case, for his companions, for countless living beings, and incidentally, to bring honor to his world's will.
Furthermore, there was the wish commission from the Earthland will.
Let him, the Child of Destiny from Edolas who represented hope, meet the 'blackened' protagonist of Earthland's previous era.
"Since that's the case, count me in for eliminating the Black Dragon."
Before Anna could rejoice, she heard Noah change the subject. "But I won't cooperate with your plan. Just tell me information about the Black Dragon. If I get a chance, I'll fight him one-on-one."
One-on-one? How big is your heart... Anna silently complained in her mind, then advised Noah. "I know you're very strong, but the Black Dragon isn't someone you can deal with alone. As long as you use Magic, besides Dragon Slayer Magic, there's no other way to harm him in the slightest."
"No way, that's too outrageous."
Noah looked suspicious and said in a joking tone, "According to you, the Black Dragon is already so strong that he's immune to all Magic except Dragon Slayer Magic?"
Unexpectedly, Anna nodded seriously. "That's right. The Black Dragon's Magic is 'Dragon Slayer of Nothingness.' 'Nothingness' has no attributes, so he can be immune to Magic and can also devour all Magic, converting it back into his own Magic Power."
Noah put away his smile. He never expected such an incredible ability actually existed... No wonder the Black Wizard and the Fire Dragon King had to team up to deal with the Black Dragon.
"Magic Immunity" is such a heaven-defying characteristic that in this world of Magic, it is an invincible existence. No Mage can harm the Black Dragon with Magic.
And the Black Dragon's Dragon Slayer Magic is especially effective against Dragons. Even the Three Dragon Kings were no match for him, let alone now that only the Fire Dragon King remains.
Fortunately, Acnologia overused Dragon Slayer Magic to slaughter the Dragon race, causing him to be completely transformed into a Black Dragon by Magic, breaking his 'invincible body,' and gaining a weakness that could be countered by 'Dragon Slayer Magic.'
However, with the Black Dragon's overwhelming power and the current level of Dragon Slayers, even with Dragon Slayer Magic, do they really have the ability to 'counter' him... It's probably not even enough to tickle him.
It's not that Noah looks down on Natsu and the other five First Generation Dragon Slayers, but the Black Dragon was already an unrivaled existence four hundred years ago.
In contrast, the five who traveled four hundred years later, Natsu and the others, might not even be able to pass Laxus's test if they all went together, let alone eliminate the Black Dragon.
The Fire Dragon King and the others wanting to cultivate Dragon Slayers capable of fighting the Black Dragon is unrealistic in terms of time. Noah guessed they truly raised those children as their own.
"Alright, now that we've talked, I'll give you 'Anima.'"
Noah touched his temple with his finger, and a light blue ball of magical light appeared as his finger withdrew. This was 'Anima' that Noah had copied through his 'Library' Magic.
Anna took the ball of light, but her attention was not on it at all. She looked at Noah in confusion. "Why do I feel like you don't seem particularly wary of the Black Dragon?"
"Haha, if I were just a Mage, then I should indeed avoid his sharp edge."
Noah's eyes were somewhat profound. "Immune to Magic? Then just fight him with power other than Magic—it's nothing special."
They say blackening makes one ten times stronger. Noah wanted to try and see if Acnologia's 'Dragon Slayer of Nothingness' Magic was more powerful, or if his own 'Magnetic Field Power' was superior.
Moreover, Noah himself is also a member of Fairy Tail, so when the Earthland will buffs the guild, he will naturally be included.
When the 'care' of two worlds is bestowed upon him, he doesn't believe he still can't deal with the Black Dragon.
Although Anna didn't understand Noah's trump card, Noah's confident demeanor did reassure her a bit. "Since you have means other than Magic, I won't ask any more questions. I should also continue my research on Space Magic."
"Still here? Why not come to our guild?"
Noah invited Anna. "It's not good to always be alone. You should occasionally see people to adjust your mood. Natsu and the other five are all Fairy Tail members now, and so is the only junior in your family."
Since Noah said so, Anna naturally nodded in agreement.
In fact, Anna had already found out about Natsu and Lucy's situation a long time ago, but she had been so engrossed in Magic research that she hadn't had time to see the children.
It was indeed the pressure from the Black Dragon that was too great for her.
Just as Noah said, a change of scenery would be nice... Anna followed Noah down the mountain, directly into Magnolia, and walked down Central Avenue to the entrance of Fairy Tail.
Before even entering, Anna saw a child and a white cat walking out, chatting and laughing. The little girl with deep blue hair immediately caught her attention.
"Big Brother Noah, you're back."
Wendy, holding Carla, greeted her older brother, but when she looked at Anna standing beside Noah, the little girl froze.
Then, due to the after-effects of time travel, those temporarily forgotten memories suddenly surged forth, and Wendy's eyes instantly welled up with tears as she threw herself into Anna's arms.
"Teacher Anna!"
Looking at the tearful little girl, Anna gently stroked her head. "Wendy, after six years, why haven't you grown much? Haven't you been eating well?"
Wendy hugged Anna tightly. "No way, I'm a good child who never picks at my food."
Anna's face was full of smiles. During the time she taught the young Dragon Slayer children life skills, Wendy was the child who clung to her the most, and she also really liked this cute little girl.
The little girl cried for two minutes and then stopped. Although she didn't know why she had forgotten her teacher, she felt it was a good thing to see Anna again.
Wendy turned and went back into the guild, calling out Gajeel, Rogue, and Sting. Sure enough, the moment they saw Anna, they all recalled their forgotten pasts.
The lively Sting eagerly hugged Anna, and the introverted Rogue also seemed very happy.
Although Gajeel was a tsundere, he still pretended not to care and asked Anna how she had been doing these past few years.
Only Natsu was nowhere to be seen.
Did Natsu go out on a mission?
In response to Noah's question, Gajeel replied, "Noah, you didn't come to the guild for the past three days, so you wouldn't know. Natsu and Lucy went to the Western Continent."
"It seems Lucy was going to find the child of an elder. Apparently, she had been planning to go for a long time, but it was delayed due to the parallel world incident."
