"Yes, originally that was also where our Nirubit Race lived. We relied on Nirvana's ability to reverse good and evil to prevent countless wars, even creating an era, deceiving.
But powerful power often comes with side effects. For every bit of darkness turned to light, there's an equal amount of light turned to darkness. When Nirvana could no longer suppress those darknesses, they came upon us, deceiving.
Thus, our Nirubit Race slaughtered each other, and many even developed the idea of using Nirvana for evil, deceiving. Once Nirvana is abused, the world will become a hell, with unimaginable consequences."
Robin Lu recounted the past, every word revealing endless regret and sorrow.
Rhode and Mira looked surprised, automatically understanding "we" to refer to the ancestors of the Nirubit Race.
But to Wendy, the word took on a completely different meaning, her face gradually turning pale.
Robin Lu glanced at Wendy's expression, hesitated, and then continued, "In the end, we sealed it, guarding it here for 400 years, hoping it wouldn't be abused again and waiting for someone capable of destroying Nirvana to appear.
I didn't expect someone to activate Nirvana again today. I heard that the Local Guild Alliance has already sent a coalition army to stop the evildoer's actions, but it seems now... deceiving.
Perhaps this is our fate, for we created such a dangerous magic, today we are also going to be destroyed by this magic, this is our sin.
However, Wendy, Carla, and the two of you from Fairy Tail have nothing to do with this matter, so please leave quickly..."
"No way!" Wendy immediately opposed, her eyes shimmering with tears, "I want to protect the guild! Absolutely protect it!"
Robin Lu, unwilling for Wendy to follow them to her death, could only say, "Wendy... you already know, don't you, we..."
"No! Even so, I still want to protect everyone!"
Wendy disregarded everything, running toward Nirvana.
Rhode extended his hand, grabbing Wendy by the waist to stop her.
Usually soft-spoken, Wendy, was shouting loudly for a rare occasion: "Brother Rhode, let me go! I want to..."
"Summon, Canyon Vanguard!"
The appearance of the purple monster made Wendy quiet temporarily, "Brother Rhode?"
"That one, destroy it."
Rhode gave a brief order, and the Canyon Vanguard ran off with a trail of dust.
Mira slightly bent down to look into Wendy's eyes, gently comforting, "Don't worry now, we won't leave the Cat Transformation Inn alone. But Nirvana is still far away, we have a little time, wait a bit, let Rhode ask what he needs to, and then, Wendy, come and fight with us, okay?"
"...Mm!" Wendy pouted, her expression extremely aggrieved, but seeing Rhode's actions and hearing Mira's comfort seemed to give her a sense of reliance, and tears the size of beans fell as she cried.
Rhode put Wendy down, letting her lean on Mira and cry.
Carla, with a slightly relieved but still worried expression, asked, "That thing just now..."
Rhode said, "It's called the Canyon Vanguard; it's very good at demolishing things, especially buildings. Even if it can't do it, I have other ways, don't worry."
"To destroy Nirvana, just that probably won't work." Robin Lu wasn't hopeful about the Canyon Vanguard; the purple monster, though intimidating, was still smaller than a toe of Nirvana.
Even if the monster could destroy a tall building in one hit, Nirvana was an entire large city!
Rhode also thought it might be difficult; even the Ghost's Six-legged Walker had a hard time demolishing it. Such a large creature, he's not sure if the Canyon Vanguard could do it.
Relying on the Void Nest Insect meant starting the troop build-up early, but clearly, there wasn't enough time now.
In any case, let the Canyon Vanguard try first.
Rhode summoned the Cyan Engraved Golem to sustain himself for the potential battle ahead.
"Did you say just now that the Local Guild Alliance organized a coalition army?"
Robin Lu, puzzled, said, "It's a coalition army composed of the Three Major Guilds, and your Fairy Tail is among them... you didn't know?"
"..."
Rhode and Mira exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Looks like either the selection was decided long ago and kept secret, or it was a decision made at a routine meeting they happened to miss.
If there were issues with the interception mission, the President should have urgently contacted them, and since Erza knew their whereabouts and the mission location was so close...
Not receiving a call for help means only one thing: their companions haven't stopped fighting yet.
"Since our guild is participating, we can't just stand by, especially since Nirvana has come to us, no one can blame us for intervening in their mission," Mira quickly found a reason to join the battle.
Rhode asked Robin Lu, "Since Nirvana was created by the Nirubit Race, do you know its weaknesses?"
"You really want to..."
"As you said, once that thing is abused, the world would turn to hell, so we must find a way to stop it, right? Moreover, our companions haven't given up, please provide a little more information."
"..." Robin Lu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Now, all he could do was trust these young people.
"The greatest challenge in destroying Nirvana, besides it being sufficiently large and hard, is that it can absorb Magic Power from the earth for movement, attack, and... self-repair. Even if a few legs are cut off, or other parts are simply damaged, they can quickly recover.
