"Idea?"
The Star Spirit King pondered and asked, "What's your idea?"
Caesar smiled slightly and said, "It is said that only a powerful Star Spirit Mage who can open the door three times can use the [Compensatory Summoning Technique] to destroy a key of the zodiac and summon the Star Spirit King.
And it's not just destroying a key casually.
There must be a very strong bond between the Star Spirit Mage and the Star Spirit before it can be used, right?"
In response to Caesar's question, the Star Spirit King nodded and did not deny it.
Lucy was also stunned.
It was the first time she knew about such a thing.
"So, I have an idea."
Caesar narrowed his eyes, opened his arms, and said proudly, "Then I will provide the necessary [price]!
Then can I create a key that belongs exclusively to you, the Star Spirit King?!"
Hearing Caesar's words, the Star Spirit King and Lucy were shocked.
"My old friend, please don't have such thoughts."
The Star Spirit King suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Such a price is not something you humans can pay.
And the destruction of a key is not the end.
After waiting for a while, the destroyed key will regenerate and reappear in this world."
"Caesar, don't do anything stupid!"
Lucy also began to persuade Caesar.
In her opinion, Caesar was going to die this time.
Caesar himself knew everything.
He wanted to know the limit of the Philosopher's Stone.
If this "price" can really be offset, a key exclusive to the Star Spirit King can be created.
Although Caesar can't use it, he can give it to Lucy.
Caesar can also determine the limits of the Philosopher's Stone through this experiment.
This result is even more precious than the Key of the Star Spirit King!
Seeing the concerns of the Star Spirit King and Lucy, Caesar laughed and said, "Of course I won't do anything stupid.
This is just an attempt.
If it fails, I will stop immediately."
Lucy heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
As for the Celestial King, he agreed after being persuaded by Lucy and because he was curious about what abilities this old friend of his friend had.
After all, the rules have already changed once.
Then changing it again is not unacceptable.
Caesar landed on the shoulder of the Star Spirit King.
He clapped his hands and pressed on the helmet of the Star Spirit King.
"Lucy, borrow some of the Celestial Mage's magic power."
"It is good."
Lucy mobilized the little magic power that had recovered in her body.
At Caesar's request, she threw it at him like a baseball.
Caesar touched the magic power of the Star Spirit Mage.
The Philosopher's Stone in his body was instantly consumed.
The magic power of the Star Spirit Mage was continuously generated.
Even the Star Spirit King was somewhat shocked by this special explosion of magical power.
"What kind of talent does this man in front of me possess that he has such profound magical powers!"
"Open, Gate of Constellations!"
Along with Caesar's call, an extremely powerful magical power rushed into the sky like a surging torrent!
This magic seemed to have endless power and a shocking momentum that made people marvel at it.
The sky, which was originally shrouded in darkness, now became unusually bright.
Countless dazzling stars shone in it, like gems inlaid in the night sky, emitting charming light.
The stars flickered, as if responding to the magic power, together creating a colorful spectacle.
"Impossible!"
Under Lucy's gaze, the door of the Zodiac suddenly opened at this moment.
Twelve figures gathered here!
"This is..."
"Impossible!"
At this moment, all the celestial wizards who held the keys to the zodiac sensed the door being opened.
They were all stunned by this unprecedented feeling.
However, Caesar continued.
The magic power gushed out endlessly like a surging tsunami.
This powerful force was amazing, as if the whole world was shrouded by it.
Just as the Star Spirit King was sighing inwardly, faint starlight began to slowly emanate from above the figure of the Zodiac.
These starlights were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, gradually gathering into a bright light and rushing straight towards the Star Spirit King.
They seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and had a wonderful resonance with the Star Spirit King.
"This...could it be..."
The Star Spirit King was shocked.
As the starlight injected into his body, he felt an unprecedented power injected into his body from Caesar.
"My old friend, I may have underestimated you."
The Star Spirit King laughed and his body slowly dissipated.
Under Lucy's gaze, the body of the Star King gradually became transparent, as if it was decomposed by a mysterious force.
Finally, it completely turned into countless twinkling stars and dissipated into the air.
However, at the moment when the Celestial King disappeared, a dazzling light burst out from where it was originally.
This light was so bright that Lucy had to squint her eyes to resist its glare.
As the light gradually faded, Lucy was surprised to find a key shining with bright starlight floating in the air.
The key was crystal clear, as if it was carefully crafted from the purest diamond.
Its surface was engraved with a vast and endless sea of stars, and each star was lifelike, as if it could lead people into a mysterious and magnificent universe.
The key quietly hovered in the air, then slowly floated down.
Its descent was so slow that it seemed as if time had frozen at that moment.
The key floated and finally landed in front of Lucy.
Lucy raised her hand in disbelief and grasped the key that she had never had before.
The moment she touched the key, Lucy suddenly felt the connection between herself and the key.
Caesar's personal work, the Key of the Star Spirit King!
Using this key, she could directly open the door of the Star Spirit King and summon him at no cost!
But for Lucy now, this was not what she could use.
Although it was free of charge, the magic power required to summon the Star Spirit King was extremely huge.
At least, after Lucy was able to open the doors of three zodiac signs at once, she would barely be able to summon the Celestial Spirit King.
At this moment, Caesar also slowly fell to the ground.
The time that had been stagnant began to flow, and the original strange phenomenon disappeared without a trace.
Feeling a ton of Philosopher's Stone consumed in his body, Caesar laughed.
This "price" was somewhat serious, but for Caesar, it was not a big problem.
After confirming that the "cost" could really be offset, Caesar said that he seemed to be able to spend some money on it.
Even if it was the curse of the god of death, Caesar could ignore it.
"Should we wake Mavis up?"
Caesar had some evil thoughts in his mind.
"What will happen if the curses on Mavis and Jellal are canceled out?"
Was it a sudden death?
Or would it remain in its current state and gradually die out?
Or did the so-called god Ankselram personally attack him to make him understand the difference between humans and gods?
Although he didn't understand, Caesar's curiosity about the unknown and confidence in his own abilities gave him the desire to explore.
Somehow, Caesar had a feeling that he might encounter those so-called gods.
By that time, perhaps he would understand everything.
"But... God... it sounds really high-end."
Caesar murmured to himself, "But I also have the God's card in my hand.
I don't know if there will be a chance for us to meet."
With some little thoughts of their own, Caesar and Lucy returned to the guild.
After learning about Loki from Caesar and Lucy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The originally tense atmosphere also dissipated at this moment.
The Fairy Tail Guild once again returned to its original lively state.
Caesar and Makarov clinked their glasses and both took a sip of wine.
This kind of guild is in the most perfect state!
