Chapter 519 - 519
Just as Marco's imagination began to run wild, a notification popped up on the System Panel, immediately followed by that familiar special effect shooting up into the sky.
If the East Suburban Forest had any self-awareness, it would have surely thrown in the towel by now.
It had just been blasted once not long ago, and now, after such a short time, it was happening again.
Of course, the East Suburban Forest couldn't voice its complaints, but the residents of Magnolia certainly let out gasps of astonishment.
Though they didn't understand what this phenomenon meant, they knew it wasn't dangerous.
This was the fourth time it had happened—and the second time in a short period.
Many were left wondering what could possibly be causing such a massive commotion.
The only ones who truly understood what was happening were Marco's comrades in Fairy Tail, and they were the most shocked of all.
Every time this occurred, Marco would grow significantly stronger.
They knew this wasn't something easily achieved, yet this time, it had happened twice in quick succession.
"Marco... he really doesn't give anyone else a chance! He's already so powerful, and he's still getting even stronger!"
As they watched the terrifying pillar of magic power erupt from the East Suburban Forest and the vast starlight rain down into the woods, the mages' eyes and hearts filled with awe.
When a person's talent reached a terrifying level, when their strength became overwhelmingly powerful, it extinguished any thought of competition in others.
To the mages, Marco was precisely such a figure.
Crucially, his strength wasn't his only forte; he was also exceptionally skilled at managing the Guild, writing, and composing music.
His very existence constantly redefined people's understanding of what a genius could be.
Yet even this Marco was far from his limit. Forget the limit—Marco felt he was still at the starting line.
He hadn't even awakened his Cosmo yet!
'BZZZZ!!!'
The terrifying Stellar Magic Power surged into Marco's body, continuously transforming him and battering his Magic Source.
The source, resembling a cosmic river of stars, trembled violently.
'BZZZZZZZ!!!'
The Magic Source quaked relentlessly, the intensity growing so severe that Marco began to worry.
It had never been this intense before.
Just as his mind filled with anxiety, a blinding white light exploded before his eyes.
The white light faded, and Marco's vision plunged into darkness.
Just as he thought something was wrong with his eyes, countless stars swiftly materialized in the void.
These celestial bodies radiated a dazzling light, as if calling out to him.
"What is this? Where am I?"
Marco looked down at his body. He was naked, floating in the air.
The space around him resembled the cosmos; he was adrift among the stars, as if at the very center of the universe.
*BZZZZZZZ!!!*
Before Marco could react or investigate further, another flash of white light blinded him.
When his vision cleared, he was standing on the ground in the East Suburban Forest, as if he was never moved, never having visited the center of the universe at all.
The [Leo Gold Cloth] had already been stored in his System Space, but Marco no longer had the mind to focus on the [Gold Cloth].
"Was that... my Cosmo?!"
The realization struck him.
His physical body had never moved.
The cosmic expanse, the feeling of being at the universe's center, the stars calling out to him—that was his universe, his very own Cosmo.
"So, each time I unlock a Gold Cloth, each terrifying surge of Magic Power... it's actually been altering my body? Gradually transforming this body, which originally belongs to the world of Fairy Tail, so it can possess its own Cosmo?"
Light flickered in Marco's eyes as he seemed to understand everything.
He had a powerful premonition: once he unlocked the sixth [Gold Cloth], his body's transformation would be complete, and his Cosmo would fully awaken.
In fact, it seemed his Cosmo had already awakened, but because his body hadn't finished its transformation and couldn't yet adapt to its power, it had fallen dormant again.
"Then... after unlocking all twelve—no, all thirteen Gold Cloths, how far will my body evolve? Will I awaken the Ninth Sense? In other words... will I become a god?"
At this thought, Marco's mouth went dry.
Becoming a Saint capable of awakening the Ninth Sense in the world of Fairy Tail, transcending human limits to become a god... wasn't that a bit too overpowered?
Marco had originally thought that awakening his Cosmo would be his absolute limit.
After all, at nineteen years old, he still hadn't awakened his Cosmo.
In the world of Saint Seiya, his chances would have been practically zero.
Marco had previously suspected that his inability to awaken his Cosmo was because this body simply lacked the innate capacity.
Now, his theory was confirmed: his body was indeed being transformed and the limits of this transformation far exceeded his imagination.
"So I'm actually a late-bloomer hero, a super-scaling type—weak in the early game, invincible in the late game."
Marco muttered to himself.
He was lucky to have landed in the world of Fairy Tail.
If he had taken this System to a world with a higher power level and more chaotic conflicts, where would he have found the time to scale?
But in the world of Fairy Tail, his supposedly weak early game—his "afk and farm" phase—was already so powerful that it had led him to misjudge his own future, making him think this was as strong as he would ever get.
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!!!"
Having finally seen the brilliant path ahead of him, Marco couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It was impossible to hold back.
Once he truly reached the Ninth Sense, forget the Black Dragon or the Celestial Spirit King—even if the legendary gods like Aknhseram actually existed, he would show them who the true god was!
"Come forth, Leo Gold Cloth!"
Overflowing with excitement, Marco summoned the Leo Gold Cloth.
The Pandora Box opened, revealing the majestic lion within, its mouth agape and fangs bared as if caught mid-roar.
The sight was incredibly impactful, radiating a powerful sense of vitality.
'Vwoom!'
With a single thought, the Leo Gold Cloth assembled itself onto Marco's body.
The Cloth's defining features were its lion-headed helmet and its cohesive, compact design.
Wearing it, Marco looked like an upright male lion—fierce, imposing, and utterly awe-inspiring!
The Leo Gold Cloth was perfectly suited for combat, free of unnecessary frills.
The most ornate details on the entire Gold Cloth were merely the intricate patterns etched into the armor plates.
Marco was naturally more than satisfied with this Gold Cloth, but what pleased him most was the good news that came with it.
It greatly alleviated the anxiety he'd felt since learning about the Black Dragon and the Celestial Spirit King.
Now, Marco wasn't anxious at all.
After all, anxiety doesn't just disappear—it simply gets transferred.
