The sky was gray.

The ground was red.

The forest was decaying.

The buildings were corrupt.

The wind carried an extremely pungent mix of odors.

The air was filled with a myriad of heart-wrenching atmospheres.

Faintly, roars that sounded like tigers or wolves echoed around, reverberating in every corner that could be reached, bringing a feeling that one would never want to experience in a lifetime.

—Despair.

Surveying this world that seemed to have completely fallen into hell, Noah, standing in the center of the blood-red earth, couldn't help but deeply frown.

"What's going on with this world?"

Yes.

Just a glance was enough for Noah to recognize that this was a completely different world from the one he had been in before!

There would be no 'Fairy Tail' here.

No Magnolia.

No familiar companions of Noah.

Not even the place where Noah was supposed to go.

To Noah, this world was entirely unfamiliar.

Of course, Noah had already mentally prepared for this when he decided to enter other worlds to help the incomplete 'Feathers' restore to their original state.

So, even in a completely unfamiliar world, Noah wouldn't be lost or panicked.

However, at this moment, Noah was truly confused.

Since he was entering other worlds, Noah didn't expect the world he entered to be the same as the one he originally came from.

But, what was this world filled with despair all about?

"Could it be that I entered not a complete world, but a broken one?"

But Noah had indeed touched a complete 'Feather,' and should have come to a complete world.

Moreover, from the 'Feathers' representing each world, Noah had obtained some related memory fragments.

Therefore, Noah knew that a broken world was one that had been destroyed to a certain extent. Not only could one not enter it, but if they did, they would instantly lose their life due to various conditions.

For example, in a broken world, some might lack air, some might lack water, some might lack food, and some might not even have any living beings. Unless they were repaired, they would be true hells.

Knowing this, Noah couldn't help but think that the world before him was not complete.

After all, the atmosphere of despair was too intense, wasn't it?

Furthermore, Noah was also very concerned about one thing.

Looking in a certain direction, Noah tightened the long cloth bag slung over his shoulder.

In the distance, there was a place that looked like a city.

Why say it looked like one?

Because a normal city would never look like the one Noah saw, with towering black stone monuments standing around it, much higher than ordinary mountains!

It was a city surrounded by enormous black stone monuments that reached into the clouds!

Staring at the city surrounded by these massive black stone monuments, Noah sighed after a while.

"It seems I've come to a very significant world..."

After saying that, Noah patted his cheeks and rallied his spirits.

"No matter what, if there's a place where humans gather, I can definitely get some information. Let me first understand what kind of world I've come to!"

The world cannot interfere with other worlds!

So, even if fragments of a broken world exist in various worlds, the world itself cannot extract these equal existences to restore the broken world.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Noah to go to such lengths to collect the fragments of the world in other worlds.

What form would the 'World Fragments' take?

Noah also couldn't clearly know.

Some might be scattered in a certain place.

Some might be hidden in a certain object.

Some might require personal effort to find.

Some might only appear when certain conditions are met.

In short, if Noah was lucky, he might find a 'World Fragment' in one or two days.

But if he wasn't, it might take him ten or twenty years to find one.

What Noah could do was to gather all useful information.

As long as he obtained information related to the 'World Fragments,' Noah would receive a hint about the current world, thus finding the traces of the 'World Fragments.'

For example, the last time, after obtaining information about the Wolf Island, Noah received a hint about that world, entered a hallucination, and saw the location of the 'World Fragment' clearly.

Before obtaining certain information, even Noah's world couldn't know the location of the 'World Fragments.'

In other words, Noah was like a 'World Fragment' detector. Once he entered the world where the 'World Fragments' were located, as long as he obtained certain information, the current world could use Noah as a 'World Fragment' detector to deduce the location of the 'World Fragments' and give Noah a hint.

In this way, Noah's existence was like...

"To be born to find the 'World Fragments'..." Noah's eyes flashed with complex emotions, and he sighed repeatedly.

"Turns out, after leaving 'Fairy Tail,' the secret of my existence can only lead to such a depressing guess?"

However, Noah couldn't help but find it hard to dislike this task.

After all, who could let those 'Feathers,' as pure and innocent as children, be left alone?

"So, let's cheer up!"

Unfortunately, someone just had to make things difficult for Noah.

"Screech—!"

With such a sharp sound, the ground where Noah stood suddenly trembled.

"——!"

Noah's expression turned serious, and without hesitation, he leaped up, jumping over twenty meters into the air with astonishing agility.

"Boom—!"

Instantly, the ground where Noah had been was shattered by a massive black shadow, sending dirt and rocks flying, and dust billowing.

Noah, who had leaped into the air, looked down, and his pupils constricted.

"Screech—!"

A monster, about four to five meters tall, without fur, with veins like pipes bulging all over its body, snake-like in form but with a head like a Venus flytrap, emerged from the ground, emitting a sharp cry. Its mouth, full of sharp teeth, bit down fiercely, swallowing a large amount of soil.

That was the soil from the ground where Noah had been standing.

If Noah hadn't jumped in time, he would have been swallowed by the monster's mouth, filled with unknown liquids, just like the soil.

"Hmph..." Noah let out a breath that was both exasperated and angry.

"Quite capable, aren't you—!"

As he spoke, Noah used the air as a springboard, spinning his body, head down, and feet up, stomping hard, causing the air to vibrate violently. His body shot down like a bullet, leaving a trail of afterimages.

"Whoosh—!"

With a sharp whistling sound, Noah, descending from the sky, spun again, this time head down, and kicked out with his feet, landing a heavy blow on the monster's Venus flytrap-like head.

"Boom—!"

Before it could even make a sound, the monster, with a snake-like body and a Venus flytrap-like head, about four to five meters tall, was kicked apart by Noah.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Chunks of flesh, oozing black blood, scattered in all directions, landing on the ground and twitching a few times before becoming still.

"This isn't a monster, is it?"

Landing, Noah looked at the scattered chunks of flesh, smelling the unpleasant odor in the air, and covered his nose, turning to look at the city surrounded by the massive black stone monuments.

"My guess was right; I really came to a very significant world..."
