Swish!
Just in case, Rhode tossed a pill to Kildas: "Uncle, when you feel it's necessary..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Kildas casually tossed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
He blinked innocently at Rhode: "What did you say?"
"..." Mad, this reckless person! Rhode swallowed back the words in his mouth: "Never mind, don't be in a hurry to make a move. If the Magic Crystal is broken, it's all over."
Kildas laughed carelessly: "Of course I know that, don't worry, hahaha..."
Rhode felt like he saw a glimpse of Natsu in him, this silliness must be a guild trait, right? I wonder if Fried has a technique to prevent Kildas.
Mira and Erza went to find Hapi's parents and flew them over to check the situation.
Rhode grabbed Wolian, who had just recovered, and through his magic, advised everyone to remain on guard and watch out for any threats from all directions.
He also told Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel to mind their own business, not to worry about the enemy's affairs.
Shortly after, Mira and Erza returned.
"It's the Transcenders." Mira glanced at Carla, "About 100 Transcenders. They don't seem like they're here to cause trouble."
Erza nodded and said, "Mm, most of them are unarmed, and some are supporting each other in flight. I think it looks like an escape."
Kildas asked, "What are Transcenders?"
Lisana said, "They're the same species as Hapi and Carla."
Kildas replied matter-of-factly, "Then they're our own people."
Lisana said, "But last night, they were still the enemy."
"Tsk~" Kildas fell silent. He wasn't clear about the situation, so he didn't offer an opinion.
Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Then let's see their attitude first."
Carla's mother might be among them, we can't just start a fight without saying anything.
After waiting for a while, Rhode saw the Transcenders flying toward them; it did seem like they were fleeing.
Especially the person flying at the forefront—two very old cats were jointly supporting a white cat.
The white cat was different from other Transcenders; she had only one wing.
"That is..." Everyone immediately felt that the white cat resembled Carla somewhat.
She was probably Carla's mother, Queen Shargate of Extalia!
Seeing the people on the Floating Island ready for defense, the Transcenders stopped not far away, hovering in mid-air.
Shargate seemed hesitant; she had just seen many 'futures,' except this direction, flying toward any other would ultimately lead to being caught and turned into Magic Crystal.
And the 'future' flying this direction, she couldn't see.
Having no other choice, she could only lead everyone to escape here, but there were also many humans here; would they help the Transcenders?
She was accompanied by the Four Great Elders and a dozen guards, while behind her were all lucky civilians.
At this moment, the Transcenders in the back were anxious, especially seeing those Magnolia City citizens dressed in King's Army armor, making them feel like they were throwing themselves into a trap, almost leading to despair.
Shargate looked back, and they could see the shadows of flying ships and a few Regions in the distance from where they came from.
Being the queen whom everyone trusted, she had to muster the courage to speak: "Please..."
"Shargate!" One of the elders supporting her suddenly said, "They're not Edolas people!"
This elder saw Natsu and Gajeel messing around on the Magic Crystal Mountain.
—Using magic without any tools, just relying on their abilities, clearly, these were not Edolas people, much less King's Army people.
Rhode took a look at Carla and found she was also looking at him, clearly unsure of what to do.
"Is it Queen Shargate? Please come down and let's talk."
Rhode wasn't worried they would cause trouble because they got intelligence from Two Nights that Transcenders themselves weren't strong.
And with Lucy's Gemini, they could always know if they had any hostile intentions.
People from the Edolas world, Gemini could basically transform into anyone.
Just at this moment, Laki was also knocked out by Gajeel, and after Rhode gave her a pill, he immediately asked her to make a set of tables and chairs.
Rhode, Mira, and Erza sat down, while Shargate and the two elders sat opposite them.
Kildas couldn't sit still, wandering off to observe the Transcenders.
When Carla also sat down, Shargate was staring at her lost in thought for a moment. And when their eyes met, Shargate immediately looked away.
This behavior most likely confirmed they were mother and daughter. But Rhode did not rush to mention this. Instead, he asked: "Could you tell us what happened? Why are the 'Gods' in such a sorry state?"
"We are merely beings with magic power within us, nothing like 'gods'." Shargate smiled bitterly, "Just now, the Edolas Magic War Team attacked us, Extalia... is destroyed."
Shargate, with a face full of sorrow, recounted the fall of Extalia.
Under such a massive attack from special weapons, apart from the 100 or so Transcenders here, the rest were all turned into Magic Crystals.
It's obvious; either the King of Edolas saw through Shargate's so-called divine power or he was bold enough to make this huge gamble.
The result is evident, he won.
Extalia almost had no power to retaliate.
