"Don't be discouraged, I'm different from you."
Moen smiled and patted Laxus on the shoulder.
He was speaking the absolute truth, and although it might be a little unpleasant to hear, it was something Laxus had to accept.
If Laxus continues to compete with Moen, he will only be hit harder and harder. Moen is indeed different from them; his potential is far too high for magic.
Even now, Moen is just a beginner on the path of "Saint Seiya". How can Laxus compete with him?
"Maybe...you're right."
Faced with Moen's bluntness, Laxus surprisingly did not refute him. He nodded and accepted Moen's statement directly.
There was no way to accept it; Moen's battle with the "black dragon" was beyond his reach.
Laxus wasn't stupid. Having witnessed firsthand the battle between Moen and the "black dragon" and the terrifying power they unleashed, he understood just how low-key Moen usually was.
That "Black Dragon" is known as the "Ender of the World," the "King of Dragons," the "Black Feather of the End," and the "Source of Evil." In short, it is an extremely evil and terrifying being in legends, a being capable of destroying the world, with an absurdly high reputation.
In contrast, Moen, who severely injured "Black Dragon", was much more low-key, and no one had ever seen Moen's "limit" before.
"It's okay. Although you can't beat me, you're still very strong compared to others."
Seeing that Laxus had accepted reality, Moen encouraged his older brother, not wanting Laxus to be truly discouraged.
There's no need to keep emphasizing that I'm not as good as you.
Laxus rolled his eyes and slapped Moen's hand away. Even if Moen displayed strength comparable to the "Black Dragon," Laxus would not be in awe of him. After all, he was the younger brother he had watched grow up and a true family member.
"Let's go, stop making a fuss, let's go home so Grandpa and everyone else won't worry."
Seeing Laxus return to normal, no longer looking melancholy, Moen stopped his antics and instead used his newly recovered power to reopen the passage back to "Aceland".
"Another dimension!"
As Moen activated his "Cosmos," a spatial rift appeared. Laxus didn't hesitate and rushed directly into the rift. He trusted Moen, and Moen also jumped in.
The reason for choosing to come to the world of "Edras" was naturally for safety. No matter how powerful the "Black Dragon" was, it was impossible for him to catch up to the world of "Edras". If he really dared to come, he would be courting death. This world is a world without magic.
No matter how tough the "Black Dragon's" body is, or how strong his regenerative abilities are, he still ultimately relies on magic. Even if his magic is so powerful that it is unfathomable, it will eventually be exhausted. There is no magic in this world to replenish it.
Moen, who possesses the power belonging to the "microcosm" system, is still able to exert extraordinary power in this world.
If we could bring the "Black Dragon" into this world, then Moen would only need to slowly wear it down, without having to take such an aggressive approach as he is now.
Unfortunately, this assumption is unlikely to hold true. The "black dragon" is very fast and cannot be easily teleported to another world. Moen has tried, but his [Other Dimension Space] cannot do it, and he cannot do it alone at present.
"Buzzing!!!"
After a spatial fluctuation, a spatial rift opened, and Moen and Laxus jumped out from it. The spatial rift opened in the seaside city of Harugeon.
The members of Fairy Tail have all returned to Hargeon; they can't stay on the sea forever.
"Tenrou Island" has been sealed away by the "Fairy Sphere". President Mavis is sweating profusely as she tries to dispel the "super magic". The members of "Fairy Tail" can't help much either, so they don't stay long and prepare to rest before returning to "Magnoria".
Feeling the slightly salty sea breeze of Harugeon, Laxus stretched his neck, making a soft "click" sound, and looked at Moen beside him, whose face was still somewhat pale.
Moen rushed back and forced himself to activate his ability again, but it was clearly still a bit of a struggle.
"That brat..."
Moen is usually very capable in everything he does, but his vulnerability and weakness at this moment made Laxus feel like an older brother. It was finally his turn to take care of Moen.
"Are you sure you can manage? Don't push yourself."
Laxus spoke up, his tone revealing concern, but with a provocative air of "Are you sure you can handle this?"
"No problem, it's nothing."
Moen forced a smile and replied, taking a deep breath to try and dispel the deep-seated fatigue. He was already used to Laxus's way of showing concern and didn't care. He was just too tired to sleep.
"Let's go, everyone's at the hotel."
Moen straightened up and led Laxus toward the location he had pinpointed.
The largest tavern and inn in Hargeon has now been completely booked by Fairy Tail.
As they approached the hotel, even before entering, Moen and Laxus could already sense the heavy and anxious atmosphere permeating the place.
The two exchanged a glance, and in the end, Moen pushed open the hotel door. Laxus hesitated, after all, he was no longer a member of Fairy Tail.
"Squeak."
The tavern door was pushed open, the noisy discussion stopped abruptly, and all eyes focused on the two figures at the door.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Mo...Moen?!"
Mirajane was the first to cry out. She had been sitting quietly in the corner, unconsciously stirring her long-cold red tea. When she saw Moen, she suddenly stood up, her chair sliding back and scraping the floor with a jarring sound.
Mirajane's eyes widened instantly, tears of unbelievable surprise and lingering fear streaming down her face. Her body trembled slightly. She wanted to move forward, to rush over and hug Moen, but her legs gave way and she couldn't take a step.
"Moen..."
"1
The moment Juvia saw Moen, she froze, her empty eyes instantly overwhelmed by immense emotion.
She staggered forward two steps, then knelt down with a thud, covering her face with her hands. Her shoulders trembled violently as the long-suppressed worry, fear, and ecstasy of the moment turned into a silent torrent of tears. These were truly torrents of tears, which quickly soaked everything around her.
Meanwhile, dark clouds gathered over the entire "Harujeon", and a torrential downpour began in an instant. Juvia had been suppressing her emotions, but the intense emotional impact at this moment made her forget all about it.
"Laxus!"
Upon seeing the two figures standing at the door, Freed, Biggleslow, and Abramory jumped up almost simultaneously. The faces of the "Thor trio" were filled with excitement and relief. Freed even forgot to maintain his usual calm demeanor, and the three of them rushed outside.
"Master!"
Lucy and Emerald burst out of the crowd and rushed straight to Moen, tears streaming down their faces. Then Cana, Natsu, Gray, Elfman, Gajeel, Moen's little apprentices and companions also surrounded them, shouting excitedly with undisguised joy on their faces.
Before they even entered the hotel, Moen and Laxus were immediately surrounded by people, whose concern and joy were obvious.
"You two brats!!!"
A roar like thunder rang out, seemingly tinged with sobs. Makarov's small figure burst forth with astonishing speed, instantly rushing in front of the two, pushing everyone else aside. No one would be so tactless as to take a seat from the old man, after all, Moen and Laxus were the old man's grandsons.
The old man first punched Laxus hard in the chest, though the force wasn't great; it was more of a confirmation that Laxus wasn't injured. Then he hugged the pale-faced Moen tightly, his voice trembling violently: "It's alright—it's alright!"
The old guild leader, who had just suffered the double blow of "the sinking of the guild's holy site" and "the disappearance of both of his grandsons", finally let down his guard and vented his emotions like a real old man. He had been greatly stimulated today.
Clinging to Moen's leg, the old man's shoulders kept shaking, as if he were shedding tears, leaving Moen both amused and exasperated.
Erza stood a little behind the crowd, still wearing her armor. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall, but her usually sharp and determined eyes were now a little moist, filled with the joy of regaining what she had lost.
She didn't rush over, but stared intently at Moen, as if trying to confirm that he was really standing there unharmed. Her fists clenched and unclenched, her heart churning violently.
Erza turned her head and looked at Mirajane. Through the excited crowd, she saw that Mirajane was also looking at her. The two looked at each other, and that look contained too many complex emotions.
A mix of relief, worry, suppressed emotions, and a vague sense of reassurance.
Neither of them immediately stepped forward; they simply stood within reach, watching Moen as if trying to imprint his image deeply into their hearts.
"Haha! That's really good!"
Gildarts burst into hearty laughter. He sat down at the table and took a big gulp of wine. Looking at the unharmed Moen and Laxus, he kept thinking to himself, "The younger generation is truly formidable. Moen is far superior to me!"
"Hey, what's with all those expressions? It's like we just died."
Laxus felt a little uncomfortable under everyone's gaze. It was an exaggeration to think they had "escaped death," especially when he saw his grandfather holding Moen with tears streaming down his face. He awkwardly turned his head away and forced himself to speak in his usual arrogant tone.
However, Laxus could actually understand everyone's emotional outburst.
As someone who also faced the "Black Dragon," he knew better than anyone how critical the situation was. If it weren't for Moen, Fairy Tail wouldn't have been able to defeat the "Black Dragon."
Moen gently patted Grandpa Makarov on the back to comfort the agitated old man. He looked up and his gaze swept over the familiar faces, which were filled with concern, excitement, and tears.
He saw Mirajane's eyes filled with complex emotions, Erza's tears that she was holding back, Juvia's breakdown and sobbing, and the relief and admiration in his companions' eyes.
A strong sense of warmth surged through his heart, as if dispelling the fatigue in his body. Just as he always brought sunshine, warmth, and support to everyone, the members of the guild would also give him these things in return. The members of Fairy Tail always supported each other.
Moen flashed a bright, slightly weary yet incredibly genuine and warm smile, a smile that, like sunlight breaking through the clouds, instantly illuminated the entire oppressive space.
"We're back!"
Moen's voice, filled with laughter, rang out clearly, carrying his usual gentleness and firmness, reaching everyone's ears distinctly.
"I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
These few simple words acted like a key, unlocking the valve of everyone's pent-up emotions.
The tavern erupted in deafening cheers, cries, and laughter. All the emotions mingled together, the massive sound almost lifting the roof off, ultimately coalescing into one sentence: "Welcome back!!!"
The crowd rushed forward without hesitation, surrounding Moen, Laxus, and even Makarov, hugging and patting them, jumping and hopping around them, and the atmosphere gradually became joyful.
Although this huge storm has not completely subsided, at least for this moment, the safe return of the most important family members is enough to soothe all anxieties.
After a while of excitement, Moen and Laxus sat down at a table in the center of the tavern and were questioned about the battle and the "black dragon."
At this moment, Laxus also learned that the guys from "Senrou Island" and "Devil's Heart" had been trapped by the "Fairy Orb".
According to Chairman Mavis, the "instigator," it will probably take several years to break the spell, and even with everyone's help, it will take at least three or four years.

""
Laxus couldn't help but shudder. He finally understood why Moen had "run away." He could only say that it was a good thing he "ran away"!
If the two of them hadn't left Sirius Island quickly, they probably would have been caught in that Fairy Ball too.
They're trapped inside!
Moen wasn't trying to dodge the already heavily injured "Black Dragon" at all; he was trying to dodge Guild Master Mavis's "Fairy Ball"!
But they really can't blame Mavis for acting on her own initiative, because Mavis was trying to protect them. Although she didn't manage to protect them, she at least protected "Tenrou Island" from the aftershocks of the explosion.
Without the protection of this "Fairy Orb," "Tenrou Island" would definitely be gone, probably not even a trace would remain.
