"The Gate of Eclipse... is very difficult to open..."
'
King Thomas muttered a defense, explaining that he kept the "Eclipse Gate" not because he had any particular reason for keeping it, and that the "Eclipse Gate" wasn't something that could be opened casually.
"It may be difficult for you, but it may not be for some people who are determined."
Moen pursed his lips. He had a premonition that this "Eclipse Gate" would definitely cause more trouble in the future, otherwise this whole thing would never have happened.
King Thomas's unwillingness to destroy the "Eclipse Gate" was precisely to save it for a later "major event," wasn't it?
Moen saw right through this tactic; even without having read the original work, he could guess what would probably happen.
"Say no more, we must destroy that Eclipse Gate."
Moen didn't say anything more and directly made his request.
"Okay...okay!"
King Thomas, realizing he was in the wrong, immediately agreed.
King Thomas could have kept these things a secret, but he truly trusted Moen, not because Moen was powerful, but because Moen trusted him as well, entrusting the "Grand Magic Tournament" to the Fiore royal family.
Trust is mutual. Moen treated Thomas with utmost care and also devoted himself to his daughter Emerald. Emerald always spoke highly of Moen, truly regarding him as a guiding light on her life's journey.
Therefore, King Thomas was willing to tell Moen these things. Of course, Moen's mention of "Black Dragon" Acnologia was also a very important reason. King Thomas was still a man of principle.
Compared to the matter of "Black Dragon" Acnologia, his little thoughts and problems were nothing. He couldn't let his previous small mistakes lead to bigger ones. Although King Thomas wasn't very willing to work, he had never caused any trouble for the country.
From this perspective, old Thomas was not wrong. In fact, some people see this kind of "inactive" king as a "sage ruler." A "sage ruler" should meddle less and "rule by doing nothing"!
After making this decision, Moen grabbed King Thomas and jumped up, leaping out of the entrance and back to the ground.
"Buzz!"
To prevent anyone from entering the cave and damaging the "Dragon Graveyard," Moen sealed the entrance with a "Crystal Wall."
"Let's go see what this so-called Eclipse Gate is all about."

After doing all this, Moen looked at King Thomas.
"The Gate of Eclipse is in the Palace of Lights, in Meluklias, deep within the royal palace."
King Thomas began, saying that the entire palace, the "Palace of Lanterns," was built around the "Gate of Eclipse," and that the "City of Flowers," Crocus, was built around the "Palace of Lanterns." The entire Fiore royal family originated from here.
"It's alright, there's still time."
Moen checked the time; there was still some time before the afternoon session of "The Great Magician's Martial Arts Tournament" began. Besides, he could simply skip it and bring King Thomas, the host, back later.
"take it easy."
"Buzz!"
As Moen spoke, he crouched down and grabbed King Thomas's shoulder. Before King Thomas could react, the two of them vanished with a "whoosh".
King Thomas felt as if the world before him had suddenly changed; they had returned from "Thomas Brau" in the western wilderness to "Merucleas" in "Lantern Palace".
"That's...amazing!"
King Thomas exclaimed in amazement, "This is the power of magic!" He longed to possess such wondrous power himself.
"Lead the way."
Moen ignored King Thomas's astonishment and instead urged him to quickly lead the way to the "Eclipse Gate." Why waste so much time talking here? It's as if he's still reluctant to leave.
"You...you're not really reluctant to part with it, are you?"
Moen looked at the sluggish King Thomas speechlessly. Although the "Eclipse Gate" could indeed be considered a "famous historical site," its dangerous nature made it a terrifying thing that had to be destroyed in the face of practical problems.
"I.....
'
King Thomas hesitated, feeling that there would be no problem with the "Eclipse Gate." Few people knew that the "Eclipse Gate" was in the "Lantern Palace," and even fewer could meet the "conditions for unlocking it." He genuinely didn't think there would be any accidents with the "Eclipse Gate."
He dared to say that even the probability of him being assassinated was far less than the probability of the "Eclipse Gate" being reopened.
However, he only thought these things to himself. When Moen questioned him with a speechless expression, King Thomas decisively backed down. There was no need to make things difficult for Moen over a "Gate of Eclipse". If he wanted to destroy it, then let him destroy it.
After convincing himself, King Thomas took a step forward and led Moen to the "Eclipse Gate".
It must be said that the door was well hidden, and even had supporting facilities built for it, making it look like an ordinary door that was just always tightly closed.
But in reality, it is a door that can "travel through time." Whether you want to go to the future or go back to the past, this door, this "Eclipse Door," can do it.
Standing before the towering gate, Moen squinted, looking beyond appearances to see the essence of things. He immediately realized that there was nothing behind the gate. This seemingly inconspicuous castle in the royal palace was a decoy built specifically for the "Eclipse Gate".
"Actually, people could have lived here."
King Thomas said that he had planned to modify this cover method in a few years, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
"It's best if no one lives here, since I'm going to completely destroy this thing."
Moen nodded. It didn't matter whether anyone lived there or not. Even if it was King Thomas's own palace, he would still blow it up.
"Step back."
Moen waved his hand, signaling King Thomas to step aside. He was going to do something drastic, not just destroy the "Eclipse Gate" that could cause even greater damage, but also destroy the entire building, just in case. He wanted to destroy it thoroughly.
King Thomas immediately stood obediently at the back, hiding far behind Moen, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
However, King Thomas's gaze never left Moen. Seeing Moen take action, he felt that destroying the "Eclipse Gate" was worthwhile, since it was just a memento for him and had no other use.
"Buzz!"
Without hesitation, Moen donned the Leo Cloth and held the "Golden Sword" belonging to the Libra Gold Cloth.
The power of the "mini-cosmos" ignited directly, driving the entire body to surge wildly into the "golden sword".
A golden light shot into the sky, immediately alarming the entire "City of Flowers." All the elite mages of Crocus looked towards the "Palace of Lanterns," their gazes and attention involuntarily drawn to that incredibly terrifying aura.
"It's Moen!"
"It's Master! What happened?!"
The Fairy Tail crew members immediately identified who caused the strange phenomenon.
Gray had also shown a "lower-spec" version of this phenomenon before, and his attack directly killed a powerful mage, a mage belonging to "Heart of the Devil".
Of course, the other guilds weren't slow to react either; everyone now knew about Moen's magic.
Everyone knows that such a big commotion, and the glittering gold that makes it seem so extravagant, could only be caused by Moen.
Perhaps some people can also make it flamboyant, but this kind of power is a completely different feeling. Even if they are not at the scene, even if they are not the ones targeted by that attack, the mages all feel like they have a thorn in their backs, and they all feel that they will definitely die if they are hit by that blow.
There are probably very few people besides Moen who can give people this feeling.
Among the elites of "Fairy Tail," some might also think of "Black Dragon" Acnologia. Laxus felt this most directly, after all, he almost took a powerful attack from "Black Dragon" Acnologia, and at that time he couldn't even move.
The feeling back then is almost identical to the feeling now.
"That direction...is it inside the palace?!"
After determining the location, everyone was shocked. Why would Moen activate his ability in the royal palace?
Who is being attacked? Could it be an attack on the King?! Or... is it actually Moen planning to wipe out the Fiore royal family?!
No one knows the reason for this, but whatever the reason, rushing over to help should definitely not be a problem.
As for who to help? It's definitely whoever wins. Moen versus the Fiore royal family – many people are quite looking forward to this drama.
Of course, those who think this way are just people who enjoy themselves, or those who dislike Moen. The general consensus is that an enemy has invaded the palace, and Moen is protecting Fiore's royal family.
In reality, Moen wasn't just protecting the Fiore royal family; what he was doing was protecting all the "Aislandians."
If this "Eclipse Gate" malfunctions, it will affect everyone—the past, present, and future. If things go wrong, it could be a world-ending crisis.
"boom!!!"
Without any hesitation, Moen unleashed his attack. His "light cannon" was so powerful that it would obliterate not only the "Eclipse Gate" but the entire castle under its terrifying energy.
The terrifying longsword fell like a giant hammer of light, and everything that stood in its way vanished like dust, turning an entire castle to ashes.
This was only because Moen held back, focusing his attack on only this small area. Otherwise, the entire "Lantern Palace," no, the entire "City of a Hundred Flowers," would probably have been cleaved in two by this attack and would have completely disappeared in the light.
The "Black Dragon" Acnologia can destroy an island as large as "Tenrou Island" with a single breath. Moen can certainly do the same. This is nothing.
For a "Saint Seiya" in a world without the constraints of gods, their "cosmos" can unleash power truly akin to that of a god, making the burning of mountains and boiling of seas a trivial matter.
"Buzz!!!"
The terrifying light gradually dissipated, and King Thomas finally regained his vision. He was so close to Moen that he was truly blinded by the light emanating from Moen, as if he were next to the sun, as if he were looking directly at the sun.
"No...that's all?"
After his vision returned, King Thomas looked at the place where the "Gate of Eclipse" had been. It was now an empty space, with nothing there, as if nothing had ever existed there, as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
"Resolved."
Moen nodded, relieved. He looked relaxed, as if he had resolved a major hidden danger.
Moen truly loathed things like the "Eclipse Gate." He was confident he could handle all the enemies from his current timeline, but enemies from some inexplicable timeline could be incredibly disgusting.
Especially the possibility of another version of himself from another timeline appearing as an enemy—Moen really didn't want to encounter that kind of situation.
I will use my fists to give everyone around me a happy ending. This so-called alternate timeline is absolutely unacceptable.
Moen clenched his fist. "The Gate of Eclipse"—he didn't need it.
Some people may think this is a machine that can change regrets, but if that were really the case, Zeref, who created this machine, wouldn't be the way he is now.
Furthermore, Moen didn't feel he had any regrets. Rather than risking making the timeline a mess to change the past, he preferred to live the present well and work hard to change the future. People who only dwell on the past will not succeed.
In short, in Moen's mind, the existence of the "Eclipse Gate" was definitely more harmful than beneficial, so he was able to destroy it without hesitation.
"Okay, that's fine too."
King Thomas nodded, quickly accepting the reality. After all, the damage was already done, and one should always look forward.
Now that's good, the "Fiore Royal Family" is completely free of mission burdens, since even the "Eclipse Gate" is gone.
"Mount! What happened?!"
Just as Moen and King Thomas finished their business and were about to leave, a giant suddenly appeared outside the "Palace of Lights" in Meluklias. It was none other than the anxious old man Makarov.
The old man transformed into a giant. Instead of rushing into the "Palace of Lights," he shouted loudly outside the palace. The old man firmly believed that Moen was safe and would answer his questions.
"It's nothing, sorry to have disturbed everyone."
As expected, Moen's voice immediately rang out, making it audible to everyone and putting their minds at ease. Even the palace guards were no longer in a hurry.
That's Moen, after all. With him around, what could possibly go wrong? Could King Thomas possibly be in any danger?
