"I understand now. If it is to protect this world, then I am willing to help you..."
As she spoke, she took out a key of the Twelve Celestial Spirit Key from her bag.
"Open the door of the lion's womb!"
As she held the key and gently turned it, a magic array with the Celestial Spirit Gate appeared in front of Evan and the others. Then, with a bright light, a handsome young man with short orange hair, a suit, and a pair of sunglasses appeared in the room.
"Oh! My dear Miss Layla, I am very happy to see you again..."
When Leo saw Layla, he immediately knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of Layla's hand while praising Layla.
"The Celestial Spirit, Leo?"
Evan looked at Leo who was in front of him. In the original work, he had a conflict with his master, Karen Lilica. In the end, he blamed himself for Karen Lilica's death and ran to Fairy Tail to stop drinking and drinking. Then, Loke, who was saved by Layla's daughter, was stunned.
Ivan didn't expect that Leo's key would be taken away by Layla.
"Haha, because Leo is unwilling to leave, and he is in a state where he doesn't have a partner, so I made a contract with him. However, other than Leo, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Cancer, I have already asked Magic Council to return the key to those who originally had it..."
"Speaking of which, not only did Lei say that he wanted to be my star spirit, he also wanted to be Lucy's Celestial Spirit. He is really a very kind Celestial Spirit..."
Layla seemed to see through Evan's surprise and immediately explained. In fact, she didn't want to stay at all. After all, she didn't want to be a Celestial Spirit Mage anymore. However, Leo was too enthusiastic, especially when he knelt on one knee and hoped to be her daughter Lucy's Celestial Spirit. This sentence moved Layla and immediately left him behind.
"Hehe..."
Evan only smiled coldly. Although he did not say anything, he had already seen through everything.
He did not even need to hear what Leo was scheming in his heart...
Leo seemed to be doing this for Layla, but he was actually doing this for Lucy. He seemed to be doing this for Lucy, but in reality, he was shocked by the genes of the Heartfilia Family...
He seemed to be loyal to the Heartfilia Family, but in reality, he had found himself a group of young, beautiful, kind-hearted, and blonde girls to be his master.
In this regard, Ivan was too lazy to break this pervert...
Leo was probably the only man in the entire Celestial Spirit Realm who could arm wrestle with Gildarts.
"Hu?h"
Leo frowned when he saw Evan's gaze. He always felt that his little thoughts had been seen through.
"Hehe, a child in his teens..."
"Foolish human, how could you possibly know of Sir Leo's plan?"
After Leo turned around and looked at Evan, he suddenly smiled coldly. His Sir Leo's plan was flawless and definitely not something that a mere human could see through.
"Tsk..."
Evan felt the disdain of Leo. However, he had a request for the Celestial Spirit Realm, so it was not the time to get back at him. When Lucy joined the Fairy Tail in the future, he would see how he would defeat Leo.
"Miss Layla, why are you looking for me?"
Leo knelt down on one knee and looked at Layla respectfully. He asked softly.
"Leo, I hope you can take us to the Celestial Spirit Realm. I have some things that I need to ask the Celestial Spirit King..."
Layla looked at the kneeling Leo and smiled.
"To the Celestial Spirit Realm? To meet the Celestial Spirit King?"
Leo was shocked. Although he was the head of the Twelve Celestial Spirit Key, even so, he did not have the ability to casually lead humans to the Celestial Spirit Realm.
No, it was not that he did not have this ability, but that he did not have the qualifications and authority. In the entire Celestial Spirit Realm, there was only one person who had the qualifications to allow humans to enter the Celestial Spirit Realm. That person was the great Celestial Spirit King.
"Is it not possible?"
Layla looked at the nervous looking Leo and asked.
"No, no, I do not have such authority, I am very sorry Miss Layla. I must return to the Celestial Spirit Realm to ask my King!"
After hearing what she said, he stood up gently and apologized to her. Then, he told her his question.
"Alright! Sorry to trouble you..."
Regarding this, she expressed her understanding.
After all, every world has to abide by the rules of every world. Otherwise, everything will be chaotic...
Leo had his own rules that he needed to abide by, and this did not surprise Layla.
"Please wait a moment..."
As Leo spoke, his figure disappeared in front of Layla and the others.
"Evan, please wait a moment."
Layla looked at the departing Leio and smiled at Evan.
"Don't worry, we don't need that bit of time."
Evan smiled at Layla and nodded, expressing her understanding.
Not long after...
Another bright light flashed in front of Evan and the others...
Leo instantly appeared in front of Evan and the others.
"Miss Layla, the Celestial Spirit King has agreed to your request. Please come with me."
As soon as Leo appeared, he bowed to Layla and greeted her. Originally, Leo thought that the Celestial Spiritt King would most likely refuse their request. After all, there was no one in Leo's memory who could take the initiative to request to go to the Celestial Spirit Realm. However, when Leo told the Celestial Spirit King about Layla, the Celestial Spirit King agreed without hesitation.
This shocked Leo. He knew that Layla was definitely not just a well-hidden person who could complete the unprecedented four gates at the same time. She was a Celestial Spirit Mage with terrifying strength. Layla also had a close relationship with their greatCelestial Spirit King.
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Layla did not seem to be surprised by Leo's words. She looked at Leo and smiled, nodding with a smile.
"No, it is my honor to serve you."
Leo shook his head and smiled at Layla. At the same time, he opened a shining door for everyone.
This door is the door to the Celestial Spirit Realm...
"Then, Miss Layla, I will wait for you in the Celestial Spirit Realm..."
As he spoke, he took the lead and entered the door that led to the Celestial Spirit Realm.
"Let's go..."
Layla picked up her skirt and smiled at Evan and Jellal. She followed behind Leo and walked into the golden door.
"Let's go..."
Evan patted Jellal, who was in the other world, on the shoulder of Mystogan, and followed Layla closely.
"Okay."
With a trace of nervousness in his heart, he followed behind Evan.
"Welcome to the Celestial Spirit Realm!"
When Layla, Evan and Mystogan entered the bright door, they saw stars all over the sky. There were countless star spirits living in this world. Standing at the end of the Celestial Spirits was an uncle wearing a huge armor and exuding endless power.
Next to the uncle were the star spirits of the Twelve Celestial Spirit Key.
At this time, the Celestial Spirit King and the Celestial Spirits in front of him welcomed the arrival of Layla, Evan, and Mystogan at the same time. Of course, if the king welcomed Layla, Evan, and Mystogan, they would do that too.
"Long time no see, Uncle Beard!"
Layla looked at the mighty Celestial Spirit King and shouted playfully at the other side.
"Uncle?"
The two Celestial Spirits, who were originally surrounding the Celestial Spirit King, were already too huge. Ophiuchus, who were lazily basking in the sun, were shocked when they heard the way Layla called the Celestial Spirit King.
"Hehe..."
"My old friend! We haven't seen each other for a long time..."
"Let me treat you well today!"
The Celestial Spirit King sat down on the ground in a very down-to-earth manner. He looked at Layla and laughed loudly.
"Uncle Beard, in fact, we have a favor to ask of you this time."
Layla lifted her skirt and quickly walked in front of the Celestial Spirit King, bowing.
"Oh?"
"Tell me about it..."
The Celestial Spirit King sat on the spot and looked at Layla.
"It's like this..."
"Because the magic power of the World of Edolas has become scarce. They are attacking other worlds with magic power, and the world we are in has been chosen by Edolas as the target. Therefore, I hope that Uncle Beard can help us, using the Celestial Spirit Realm that connects the ten thousand worlds as a medium to become a bridge between the two worlds, allowing us to travel between the two worlds..."
Layla told the Celestial Spirit King about the situation of the two worlds.
"Huh?"
After listening to Layla's words, the Celestial Spirit King frowned, and there was a trace of annoyance and displeasure in his expression.
"What?"
Before the Celestial Spirit King could speak, the Celestial Spirit under the Celestial Spirit King exploded.
"You want our Celestial Spirit Realm to be the bridge for humans to cross worlds"
"No, this is impossible..."
"This is against the laws of the Celestial Spirit Realm..."
The Celestial Spirits started to discuss among themselves.
"Even if this is your request..."
Just as the Celestial Spirits were panicking, they did not expect that Layla's request would violate the laws of the Celestial Spirit Realm. The Celestial Spirit King slowly stood up from the ground and walked towards Layla.
"Great Celestial Spirit King, please calm down..."
"Layla doesn't mean any harm!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The Celestial Spirits panicked at this moment. Under normal circumstances, if a Celestial Spirit Mage violated the law of the Celestial Spirit Realm, she would be robbed of her right to control the Celestial Spirits. However, the Celestial Spirits had been with Layla for a year, and they all had feelings for her. Therefore, they stood up and advised the Celestial Spirit King.
"Even if it's your request, I can't do it!"
"Although I really want to help you..."
"But in fact, if we, Celestial Spirit, want to cross two worlds, we need enough fetters."
"So if you don't have enough fetters with the people of other worlds, there is nothing I can do..."
"Oh, but I promise you that I will help you as a bridge between two worlds with the help of the Celestial Spirit Realm. As for how to get there, you have to think of a way yourself..."
Just as the Celestial Spirits were trying to persuade the star spirit king, they heard the Celestial Spirit King talking to her with a smile.
"It turns out that the reason why you are troubled is not because you are helpless because you have violated the law!"
After listening to the Celestial Spirit King, the Celestial Spirits complained in unison.
This is no longer as simple as the double standard...
