Chapter 425 The Vanished Protoss Key
"Oh my! Lizley, Sheria, and Jenny are here!"
"Minebara, the young lady of Saberbite Tiger, chose the most direct and domineering method to instantly eliminate three opponents!"
"Has the tiger, silent for three days, finally begun to bare its fangs?!"
Chabadi's highly infectious voice rang out, completely igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue like a depth charge!
As the champion of the previous Grand Magic Games, Sabertooth's popularity in Fiore is definitely not low.
After three days of suppressed anger, the die-hard fans immediately became arrogant, chanting Minerva's name wildly with great arrogance.
All other guilds were eliminated, and the only force that could stand against them was the cheers of Fairy Tail.
The two sides' fans erupted in an exceptionally fierce and heated exchange of support, neither side willing to back down.
"At this moment, the five-minute rule takes effect! Will the fairy return to her peak, or will the sword tiger retain her throne?"
"The most exciting part of this naval battle has finally arrived!"
Pumpkin Head, acting as the referee, waved his hand, and an hourglass with a five-minute countdown appeared.
Inside a giant water sphere.
Lucy and the future Minerva stood facing each other across the water, neither of them seeming to be in a hurry to attack due to the countdown.
As you can see, only Loki is left with Lucy.
Gemini's ability to transform was greatly shortened due to using it twice in a row, forcing him to return to the Celestial Spirit Realm ahead of schedule.
Aquarius's reason was, predictably, that she wanted to continue dating Scopin.
"Fairy Tail."
In the future, Minerva stood with one hand on her hip, looking down at Lucy with her cold eyes. "Thanks to you, our support this year has decreased quite a bit."
She was extremely annoyed that Fairy Tail's support could still be heard at the scene—in previous years, this situation would never have occurred.
The Saber-Biting Tiger has already crushed everything!
"If I wanted to, I could have gotten rid of you in an instant. Do you know why I didn't?"
Seeing Lucy remain silent with her lips pursed, Future Minerva's expression grew even more somber. She said coldly, "Because that would be too disappointing. You must truly understand the power and terror of the Saberbite!"
Upon hearing this, Lucy clenched her fist slightly at her side and looked up to meet the other person's gaze with a complicated expression.
She remembered the little girl who would feel guilty and apologize for her own weakness, who would stand up to protect her teammates without hesitation in times of crisis, and who would always peek at Chesgo with eyes full of admiration.
It's hard to imagine and unacceptable that such a positive and courageous child would grow up to be this inexplicably annoying person.
"Minerva, you—"
Holding onto a sliver of hope, Lucy slowly spoke, voicing the thoughts of Nazwenti and the others watching from the sidelines, "You're not standing here for such a trivial reason, are you?"
To let others know about power and terror is not something Minerva would say at all!
Through the refraction of the water, Minerva in the future saw a faint sadness and loss in Lucy's eyes.
This was unacceptable to her, who had been instilled with the "might makes right" philosophy by Germain for many years; it felt as if she had been greatly insulted.
"A trivial reason? Don't be so arrogant, Fairy Tail!!"
Minerva in the future instantly flew into a rage, raising her hand to distort the space behind Lucy.
Boom!!
The distorted space suddenly exploded!
The speed was so fast, and without any warning, that by the time the audience realized what was happening, the area where Lucy was located was completely covered by a large amount of thick smoke.
"Heh, someone with this level of skill still dares to boast so arrogantly, truly—"
Halfway through her sentence, Future Minerva's pupils suddenly contracted.
Soft, light pink mist replaced the thick smoke, gushing out of the water.
Deep within, Aries Aries is hiding behind Loki with a cute and innocent look on her face, while Lucy is unharmed beside her!
My spatial magic was actually blocked by this weak woman?!
Minerva's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
From beginning to end, she didn't take Lucy seriously, thinking that only people like Mira and Erza were worthy of making her take them even a little bit seriously.
As expected, the other party should be screaming in pain at this point!
"I just can't bring myself to like Minerva like this—"
Lucy sighed softly, glancing at Wendy, who looked forlorn, in the stands, and felt a pang of sympathy.
That guy, Germain, is a terrible father!
Minerva was completely baffled by these words, and her anger flared even more: "I refuse to believe that your luck will always be this good!"
She firmly believed in her judgment after watching the battle footage of Lucy and Freya, attributing the failed sneak attack to "luck".
And so, the spatial magic was activated silently once again.
This time, the target is not Lucy herself, who is being protected by two Protoss, but the Protoss key on her waist!
This is the Achilles' heel of all Celestial Spirit Mages; as long as they hold it firmly in their hands, they can trample on it at will!
The water trembled slightly. From the audience's perspective, it appeared that Minerva in the future simply stretched out her palm and gently clenched it in the void before her.
The next second, Lucy's women's belt appeared out of thin air in her hand!
"My judgment was absolutely correct. Someone as weak as you could not possibly have noticed anything."
Future Minerva smiled smugly, brandishing her belt at Lucy with a show of bravado. "So, now that you've lost your key, what are you planning to do next?"
However, Lucy looked relaxed and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"Lady Lucy, she probably meant she took your key," the innocent and naive Aries explained weakly.
"Hey, you'd better take another look," Loki said to Future Minerva, unable to bear the sight.
Upon hearing this, Future Minerva's expression changed slightly. She grabbed her belt and brought it close to her face, but she really couldn't see the Celestial Key clipped to it!
"How could this be? I clearly—"
Not only did she not understand what was happening, but the Fairy Tail members outside the arena were also completely baffled.
"What happened? The key on my belt is gone?" Juvia asked, full of confusion.
"Lucy must have secretly hidden it inside her swimsuit!" Natsu nodded emphatically, looking certain.
"It's highly unlikely, isn't it? Do you think Minerva is stupid enough to steal a belt that has nothing on it?" Gray immediately retorted.
"Hmm, it doesn't seem like it was handed over to Loki and Aries for safekeeping," Erza thought seriously.
In that case, opening and closing the door would become incredibly troublesome.
"You're quite clever. You know you have to protect the key in front of Minerva, so you came up with this idea."
Chess smiled and sighed, a knowing look on his face.
During the previous operation to defeat Oración Seis, Lucy had already witnessed the Eighteen War Gods Magic used by Minerva and knew that it was an "absolute territory" capable of manipulating space.
This is precisely why she was able to summon Aries in time to block the first wave of attacks.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Chase, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
