"That energy must truly exist..."

The two old rivals exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of unease about the future of the angel.

Taking a deep breath, he rubbed his left cheek, which still stung slightly from the slap from Bitches, and stood up, muttering:

"That bastard really went all out."

As she spoke, she went to the cabin door first and then looked at Angel Yan.

"Let's go, Yan, let's go check on the situation quickly."

Yan nodded and was about to get up, but a sudden sharp pain made her fall back onto the bench, clutching her stomach and frowning in pain.

Seeing this, Leng quickly asked with concern:

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"It's alright, I just got beaten up like you."

"That bastard."

Leng muttered something again, then turned back and carefully helped Yan up.

Yan helped her to her feet with difficulty. The small movement made her gasp inwardly, cursing Bizi in her heart: Damn it, he showed absolutely no mercy.

At this moment, Leng suddenly twitched her nose, leaned towards Yan, and asked in confusion:

"What's that smell? It smells a bit fishy?"

Yan's heart suddenly tightened, fearing that Leng would notice something was wrong, so he quickly pretended to be disgusted and pressed her head down to push her away.

"What are you sending me? If you want to smell it, I'll strip naked and let you smell it to your heart's content when I have time."

When Yan changed the subject, Leng immediately forgot to ask about the source of the strange taste and started teasing her with a playful retort.

"Shut up, you bitch. Don't forget who's taking care of you, the patient."

"Heh, you're all tough now that you're healed. Do you want me to send you the video of me carrying you onto the aircraft after you passed out?"

"Screw you."

The two women bickered as they flew out of the aircraft.

Outside the hatch, Bitz was curiously looking at the equally blue planet beneath his feet, using his aura to sense its condition.

The strongest aura must be Acnologia's.

There were a few other auras slightly inferior to his; who were they? The Five Divine Dragons?

Oh well, whatever, they're all just noobs anyway.

After a quick survey of the world, Bitz had a general idea of what was going on.

Just then, Yan and the other person came out. Bitz turned around, glanced at the disabled man who gave her a malicious smile, and then said to Leng:

"Your armor is tattered beyond recognition. Change it quickly and don't waste my time."

Looking down at the armor on his body—a gash in his chest armor and a completely shattered abdominal armor revealing his slender, fair waist—he clenched his fists in annoyance.

"Want to guess who hit him?"

"Who knows? Maybe you fell down on your own."

Bitches's sarcastic remarks made him so angry that he gritted his teeth.

It was Yan, who was beside her, who gently tugged at her arm, which calmed her down.

With a stern face, she waved her hand in front of her, and in the blink of an eye, her tattered armor disappeared, replaced by a brand new angelic dress.

Bits: "..."

After a moment of silence, Bitz began to complain with dissatisfaction.

"Don't you have any other clothes to change into? Like a long dress like Yan's."

With a haughty flick of her long ponytail, she said in a childish, chuunibyou tone:

"The skirt is a symbol of weakness; a warrior only needs armor."

"... Okay."

If it were in the Demon Wings, Bitches would definitely take her into Liang Bing's room and change her into a nice outfit.

(Did he realize that?) But now he has more important things to do, so he's too lazy to argue with people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"Follow me, let's go gather some information first."

Lucy has been away from home for some time now, even though she comes from a wealthy family.

But this time I left in such a hurry that I had very little money left.

She opened her wallet and looked at the last 300, 000 J lying quietly inside. She clenched her fist and secretly resolved to save every penny until she joined the union and found a suitable job.

"Hey, you pretty little girl over there."

"Huh, is someone calling me?!"

Lucy, who considered herself naturally beautiful and unparalleled, turned her head without hesitation and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and to urge me to update more frequently and to donate generously. I would be eternally grateful.

!

On the side of the bustling street, there was an inconspicuous little stall, and the person speaking was the stall owner.

Judging from his appearance, the stall owner was a short, withered, and wretched old man in his sixties or seventies.

He was wearing a dark black wizard's robe and a large wizard's hat.

He sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, his hat brim obscuring his eyes, giving the impression of a profound and unfathomable hermit.

Lucy didn't seem to know the other person, so why would they call out to her on the street for no reason?

The stall owner's eyes, hidden beneath his wizard's hat, suddenly flashed with a bright light.

He just casually called out as usual, but he didn't expect that someone would actually respond.

Based on his years of experience swindling and cheating in business, this guy is definitely a fat, dim-witted fool.

Perhaps he'll have money for drinks for the next few months.

"That's right, little girl, come this way."

At his invitation, Lucy curiously walked forward and finally sat down on a small stool in front of the stall.

"Um... may I ask who you are?"

"Who I am is not important," the old wizard interrupted Lucy's question.

He raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes that shimmered with a sun-like golden light beneath the brim of his hat. 750 (Basic eye magic: Added an LED effect to the eyes.) His voice was hoarse and steady, like a stubborn rock that had stood for thousands of years in the cold wind.

A withered, wrinkled hand emerged from beneath the robe and casually wiped the carpet beneath him.

Suddenly, a deep purple cushion appeared before Lucy's eyes, supporting a white crystal ball the size of a human head.

"Take a look, little girl, and tell me what you see in there after you've looked."

"A crystal ball? Are you a fortune teller?"

Upon seeing the crystal ball, Lucy instinctively thought of the mysterious group that often appears in various fairy tales, guiding the protagonist and solving their problems.

The old wizard, well aware of the principle that saying too much is wrong, remained silent and did not answer, letting the other person fill in the blanks in their own mind.

Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Lucy felt that this fortune teller was becoming more and more mysterious.

This reminds me of his ability to accurately call out to me on a busy street.

Without hesitation, Lucy lowered her head with curiosity and anticipation, her eyes fixed on the seemingly ordinary crystal ball.

Where Lucy couldn't see, the old wizard silently snapped his fingers with his left hand, hidden beneath his robes.

The next second, images began to appear in the crystal ball in Lucy's eyes.

"I... I saw it!"

Lucy gasped and looked up, her expression revealing barely suppressed excitement.

The old wizard, barely suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, patiently guided the plump young lady:

"Don't look away, keep watching, and talk as you watch."

"Uh-huh."

Lucy nodded happily and quickly refocused her attention on the crystal ball, beginning to recount the images that appeared within it.

"I see volcanoes, oceans, and... Is this the continent of Ishgar?"

Lucy's tone was somewhat uncertain, but the old wizard sighed as if he had expected it.

"As expected, with raging volcanoes and a merciless sea, the continent of Ishgar is about to face another catastrophe after a century."

"Cataclysm! You mean the continent of Ishgar is going to be destroyed?!"

"I don't know. Catastrophes happen every hundred years, and they could be natural disasters or man-made calamities."

My understanding of the cataclysm is limited to the fact that the dragon race vanished four hundred years ago due to it, never to be seen again.

"Ah, the dragon race disappeared because of a cataclysmic event!"

Lucy was so shocked she almost jumped up; she never expected there to be such a secret involved.

The old wizard nodded slightly, causing his wizard hat to sway back and forth.

Before Lucy could press for further questions, he added in a deep voice.

"This is just an ordinary catastrophe that happens once every hundred years, but now we are facing a terrifying disaster that happens once every thousand years, far more dangerous than the annihilation of the dragon race."

"A thousand-year catastrophe even more terrifying than the annihilation of the dragon race?!"

If this is true, we're all doomed!!!

Lucy was so frightened that she turned pale, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Is it really possible for such a terrifying disaster to exist in this world?

Noticing the fear mixed with a hint of doubt in her expression, the old wizard inwardly cursed her for only becoming suspicious at this moment, while simultaneously unleashing his trump card.

He stared intently at Lucy, and said slowly and meaningfully:

"It was as if I had a premonition, which is why I followed the guidance and came here."

The search is for the Celestial Spirit Mage girl prophesied to change the future and guide Ishgar and all of humanity through a catastrophe.

"Celestial Spirit Mage Girl! Was that person talking about me?!"

Lucy's hand unconsciously reached for the key pouch at her waist where the Celestial Keys were kept, and her previous suspicions and distrust of the old wizard vanished in an instant.

Seeing this, the old wizard pressed his advantage, saying:

"Of course it's you, otherwise why would I have called out to you alone in the vast sea of people?"

"If you don't believe me, take another look at the crystal ball."

Upon hearing this, Lucy quickly looked at the crystal ball again, and sure enough, there were new changes inside.

A blurry black figure appeared in the crystal ball. As she took out a golden key, the stars representing the 12 zodiac signs in the sky shone brightly, as if responding to her call.

The old wizard's seductive voice rang in Lucy's ears at that moment.

"According to the prophecy, the savior will gather all the Zodiac Spirit Keys."

Fight alongside 12 powerful Zodiac Star Spirits to avert cataclysmic disaster and save the world.

"Splash~ Splash~ Splash~" Lucy's heart was pounding. The fact that the old wizard could confirm she was a Celestial Mage through the crystal ball without revealing her identity already demonstrated his skill.

Furthermore, the fact that she now possesses three keys to the twelve zodiac signs undoubtedly further corroborates the old wizard's statement.

Me? Me? Me? Me? I'm actually the savior of the world? I'm so amazing!
