Pokémon World
Poplar Town.
The sky full of stars above the town had long since disappeared. Twisted space and distorted star projections collided with each other, causing space and time to distort. Disordered darkness spread out. Centered above Poplar Town, it extended towards the entire world.
In the sky, Palkia, the Spatial God Pokémon, pale purple all over with black-purple stripes and resembling an upright lizard, slightly turned its body in the void. Its claw condensed dense spatial power, which it swung forward at the Dialga in front.
**Spatial Rend!**
The deep purple spatial power, like a blade aura, continuously expanded and slashed forward. Wherever it passed, space shattered and tore inch by inch.
Above the void opposite, Dialga, the Temporal God Pokémon, deep blue all over with armor-like thorny protrusions and spikes growing around its body, resembling a long-necked dragon, faced the giant slash coming towards it. It let out a long roar towards the sky, and dense temporal power gathered in its mouth. It aimed the temporal power at the Spatial Rend, which nearly occupied Dialga's entire field of vision.
The **Roar of Time** condensed by Dialga shot out from its mouth like a meteor.
**Boom!**
The giant deep purple spatial slash and the beam-like Roar of Time collided above Poplar Town. The attacks, which appeared unequal, were locked in a stalemate the moment they collided. Temporal power and spatial power intertwined. At the center point of the collision, a twisted Dark Void appeared. The distorted starry sky and space accelerated their tearing, with deep red spatial lightning and deep blue temporal lightning flashing across each other, accompanied by incessant roaring sounds. All surrounding power was sucked into the Dark Void created by the collision.
An energy body that appeared out of thin air, preparing to fall into the Pokémon world, was about to land on the ground and condense into a human form. Because of the collision of temporal and spatial power, at the moment the Dark Void was born...

The energy body that had just condensed into a human form turned back into a ball of light and was uncontrollably absorbed into the Dark Void.

**Fairy Tail World**
Year X774.
East Continent, Ishgar.
Fiore Kingdom, a permanently neutral country located in the west of Ishgar, with a population of approximately 17 million.
Magnolia Town.
Magnolia Town in the early morning, having just experienced a night of light rain, was filled with the fresh scent of earth mixed with grass and trees.
Gal's Magic Shop.
The wooden door of the house slowly opened, and Gael, wearing a black magic robe with black-purple hair, walked out, yawning. Gael stood in front of the door, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and the slight coolness instantly spread through his brain, making him much more awake. Standing in place, he stretched his body a bit, then Gael turned his head to look inside the room:
"Let's go, Gengar."
From inside the house came a weak voice:
"Gengar—"
Then, a purple chubby figure, more than one person tall, rubbing its scarlet eyes, walked out of the room, its short legs and arms making it look clumsy and cute. Seeing this, Gael couldn't help but laugh:
"Cheer up a bit. Lock the door, it's time to go out for a stroll."
After speaking, he walked towards the Guild. The residents who were up early greeted Gael, who also smiled and responded. Hearing that it was time to go out for a stroll, Gengar immediately perked up:
"Gengar!"
Its scarlet eyes glowed slightly, the door lock flew out from inside the house, then the door automatically closed under the effect of Confusion, and then the lock itself flew to the keyhole.
**Click—**
Locked. Gengar nodded in satisfaction, then floated up and followed Gael. The surrounding residents had long been used to Gengar's existence, and many even liked Gengar very much. Although this little guy usually liked to play pranks, there were also many times when it used Confusion to provide a Helping Hand to nearby residents.
**Fairy Tail Guild**
The main door was slightly ajar, and continuous snoring sounds came from inside. Clearly, last night was another night of revelry. Gael pushed open the door, and what greeted his eyes were tables and chairs scattered haphazardly, and members in various sleeping postures. These were fine. But Cana, who was still a child, was even hugging a wine bottle and sleeping soundly on a table. Gael looked at Cana, used Confusion to lift her up, moved Little Cana to a corner and put her down, then used Confusion again to move a blanket and cover Cana.
Guild Master Makarov, sitting on the Guild bar counter, was also hugging a wine bottle and yawning:
"No matter how many times I see it, it still feels amazing. Such a convenient ability."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Gael's face:
"I say, Old Man, others are fine, but are you planning to raise Cana into an alcoholic? This isn't how you free-range raise someone."
Although Cana would indeed be an alcoholic in the future, how could an eight-year-old start drinking? When Cana came two years ago, she was still a little pitiful girl leading a small dog, and now... she's already half a drunkard.
Makarov had a headache and felt somewhat wronged:
"This child has something on her mind, it's not like you don't know. She doesn't say anything no matter what you ask. Only when she drinks can she relax a bit. If you don't let her drink, bottling it up like this will also cause problems."
Gael couldn't help but rub his forehead:
"I probably know what this child's knot is. Let's see if I can find an opportunity to untie it for her."
The root of Cana's worries was her father, Gildarts. It's just that Gildarts rarely came back, so Cana couldn't acknowledge her father even if she wanted to. It just so happened that the research on magic items had hit a bottleneck, so he would take on some tasks and go out, and also look for Gildarts along the way.
Fairy Tail now was not yet the Guild with the highest overall strength in the Fiore Kingdom later on, and many of the later youngsters had not yet joined. Currently, only Makarov, Gildarts, and Laxus's father, Ivan, were the three powerful Magicians holding the fort. Gildarts wandered outside all year round, and whenever he returned, he would just clear out the tasks on the bulletin board. Ivan was currently busy with Laxus's physical problems. He recently went to the South Continent, heard that someone had obtained the heart of the Thunder Dragon King and made it into a Magic Crystal ready for auction. If he hadn't been confused later on, based on Ivan's current behavior, it would be hard to think he was the same person as that selfish guy later.
Only Makarov was left to stay at the Guild and couldn't go out. The only one who could be considered the face of the Guild was Gael, who had risen in these past few years. The Guild's strength had a serious gap. However, as the year X777 got closer, the Guild would soon become lively.
Makarov was a little surprised by Gael's words:
"You know?"
Then he nodded and said:
"Then Cana's knot is in your hands to solve. Speaking of which, why did you research for so long this time? Have you researched some useless Magic again?"
Gael's mouth twitched slightly:
"How can it be useless Magic? What I develop are all daily essential Magic and items!"
Makarov looked speechless:
"For example... Magic to make shaved ice, Magic to make rocks dance."
Gael widened his eyes slightly:
"On a hot summer day, using Magic to create shaved ice, taking a bite, the cool feeling sweeps through your brain, it feels great just thinking about it, right?"
Makarov's mouth twitched:
"Don't say it so strangely. It feels like those addictive magic potions."
Gael scratched his head and sighed:
"Research here has hit a bottleneck. Not enough materials, I'm planning to go north to find some materials. I heard there's a Demon appearing up north recently. It can be used as material."
Makarov, who had just taken a sip of wine, immediately 'pffft—' sprayed it out and looked at Gael in disbelief:
"Hey, hey, hey. What exactly are you trying to make that you need a Demon as material? That Demon appearing up north is not easy to deal with. It's 'Deliola', the Undead Calamity Demon from the Book of Zeref."
