Chapter 610: The Substituted Lisanna Does Not Belong to This World!
"Uh…" The group stood frozen. From every sensation, the person in front of them was the God who had resurrected all of Edolas. Now that he had appeared, they didn't know how to react.
Ren looked at them and smiled faintly. "There's no need to kneel. This is fine."
"!!!" Cana shivered. She felt as if she had been seen through.
"Hey! That kingdom dog must be eliminated!" Edolas's Lucy was like a delinquent, her words aggressive.
Erza Knightwalker stood poised, her expression unreadable. "My life was given by God. Whether I live or die is for God to decide." She viewed her life very lightly.
"Heh heh, I wouldn't go so far as to personally erase the angels I've transformed," Ren's gaze swept over everyone. "This world is no longer what you know. The kingdom and everything have been purified. As for magic, you must have felt the abundant magicules permeating the air, right?"
"Indeed… such abundant power," Lisanna felt it; it was the first time she had experienced such a thing.
"So, you don't need to be so concerned about your previous relationships. You are all my angels and apostles now. There's no need to argue." His cold eyes swept over them. "Besides, as the God of this world, your God, I do not allow you to quarrel."
"..." They had become very strong. With their perception, they could sense the changes within the kingdom. The royal family, the rules, and the Fairy Tail guild was no longer wanted.
A moment later, Lucy scratched her hair, annoyed. "Tsk, fine. Since it's all in the past, I won't hold it against you. Let's start anew." Saying that, she extended her hand to Erza. "I'm not trying to be friendly, just not pursuing the past."
"..." Erza glanced at her and also extended her hand. Their hands met, signifying the resolution of their conflict.
"That's great," Lisanna said, wanting to see everyone get along. Because… her happy exclamation attracted Ren's gaze.
Mirajane noticed his gaze on her sister. After a moment, she still stood in front of Lisanna. "God… Master, if Lisanna said anything wrong, please let me bear the responsibility!"
"..." Ren felt he was misunderstood. He stepped forward, gently lifting Mirajane's smooth chin. Her eyes were firm, looking directly into his without fear.
After a long while, he smiled freely. "Mirajane, I like your straightforward personality, but I'm not that moody." As she was confused, his hand wrapped around her waist.
"Lisanna."
"Yes!" she stood up straight.
He stated directly, "You are not Lisanna."
"!!!" Her eyes widened suddenly, which also aroused the confusion of the others.
"Huh? If she isn't Lisanna, then who is she?" Lucy said bluntly.
"That's right, isn't she right here?" the taller Wendy rubbed her eyes.
Mirajane was also full of doubt. How could she mistake her own sister?
"Alright, let me correct myself: you are from Earth Land, not from Edolas."
"!!!" It was as if her long-hidden secret had been exposed. Lisanna's pupils trembled violently.
"What?" Mirajane exclaimed. She already knew from the Black Dragon that there was another world called Earth Land.
Lisanna lowered her head. "Sorry, Sister… I… indeed came from Earth Land."
Mirajane stared blankly. "But the Lisanna of this world…" She suddenly remembered something, and her voice trailed off. "She… she's dead… right?" she clenched her hands, her voice choked.
"Yes…" Lisanna difficultly stated the fact.
"What? Lisanna… dead?" Levy cried out in disbelief.
"So… the one we know is Lisanna from another world?" Lucy's eyes swept over her, a slight confusion on her face.
"Because I didn't want to see my older sister and brother sad in this world, I chose to live on in her place… I'm sorry, Big Sister. I lied," Lisanna was full of apologies.
Mirajane broke free from Ren's embrace and hugged her tightly. "No… it's not your fault. I should be the one to say sorry. And… thank you." How could she blame her kind sister? "Whether it's the old you or the current you, both are my sister."
"Big Sister…" Feeling her embrace, the warmth moved Lisanna deeply, and tears welled up. She had been on the verge of death due to Elfman's power running wild but had unexpectedly come here. The Lisanna of this world had died at that time. She had been playing a role all along. But now, she seemed to understand. No matter which world, her sister was her sister.
This heartwarming scene made everyone smile with relief. Until Ren curled his lips, and with a thought, a cluster of green light condensed beside them. "Big Sister?" a voice identical to Lisanna's appeared.
"Hmm?" Everyone's gaze focused over there. "Eh! Lisanna!!!"
