One purple and one blue pupil, like a cloudy sky that had lost its color, slowly closed.
The six white wings on Nord's back gradually shrank until they finally retracted into his body and disappeared.
His consciousness faded, and his somewhat frail body slowly collapsed into Erza's embrace.
"Noel!!"
As the purple light dissipated, what appeared before everyone was Noel, peacefully asleep in Erza's arms, and Erza herself, kneeling on the ground while holding him.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly rushed over.
"There's nothing serious, he just passed out." Ishu checked him over and sighed in relief.
At that moment, the entire white palace suddenly began to shake violently.
Cracks spread rapidly across its pillars and walls.
"This is bad! We need to leave immediately! This palace was completely sustained by Noel's power. Now that he has lost consciousness, the palace has lost its energy source and will soon collapse!" The experienced Makarov quickly understood the situation and shouted in urgency.
Everyone was startled upon hearing this and wasted no time in carrying the unconscious Noel out of the palace.
Boom!
Just as they made it outside, the palace collapsed with a deafening roar.
Like a tidal wave, an immense surge of white magical energy exploded outward before gradually dissipating into the air.
"It was really a close call." Lucy wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with relief.
"But... is it really over?" Gray frowned and spoke up, "Although the wings have disappeared, Noel's hair color hasn't changed—it's still silver-white. When he wakes up, will he still be that second personality?"
"I don't know..." Ishu shook his head, indicating that he wasn't sure.
"Hmph, boring." Laxus snorted coldly and turned to leave.
No one noticed the fleeting gloom that flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Laxus leave, the three members of the Thunder God Tribe hurriedly followed.
"That guy Laxus..." Cana muttered in dissatisfaction.
Among the group, the burliest one, Elfman, took Noel from Erza's hands and carried him on his back.
Meanwhile, Mirajane, who had just deactivated her Satan Soul form, asked Makarov, "Anyway, for now, it's over. What should we do next, Master?"
"Hmm, let's take Noel back first," Makarov thought for a moment and said.
"Well then, since the incident has been resolved, I will take my leave." Ishu smiled at everyone.
"Huh? Ishu, you're leaving already??" Natsu asked.
"Yeah, that's right. His Majesty No—uh, Noel is fine now, so I must go. After all, I am a traitor to the Demon God's Soul and the number one wanted criminal—I can't stay in one place for too long." Ishu shrugged casually, as if it was no big deal.
The group fell silent.
Even just thinking about it, they understood how difficult Ishu's situation was.
As the former throne of the Demon God's Soul, he would never be accepted by the Council-led Light Guilds.
The fact that they weren't actively hunting him down was already the best possible outcome.
As for the Dark Guilds, they didn't dare to take him in, fearing the might of the Demon God's Soul.
Even the other three guilds of the Balam Alliance were the same—three years ago, in that earth-shattering event, the Demon God's Soul had shown no mercy, eliminating both Dark and Light Guilds alike if they were deemed obstacles.
"Anyway, thank you for everything in this incident." After a brief silence, Erza said to Ishu.
"Well then, farewell, everyone from Fairy Tail." Ishu smiled, then turned and walked away.
Watching Ishu leave, Natsu suddenly shouted, "Hey, Ishu!"
"Hmm?"
"We're friends now, right?" Natsu grinned widely.
Ishu was slightly stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He waved at Natsu and said, "Yeah, of course."

Magnolia Forest, Healer Mage, Porlyusica's Residence.
Makarov, Erza, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy waited quietly outside the house, while only Mirajane was inside, taking care of Noel and assisting Porlyusica with various tasks.
"I wonder how things are going..." Lucy glanced at the door, muttering anxiously to herself.
"Don't worry! Noel is really strong, so he'll be fine, Lucy!"
"Aye! That's right!"
Natsu and Happy, as always, remained optimistic, reassuring Lucy.
"Miss Porlyusica is an excellent healer, so there's nothing to worry about." Although Erza spoke these words to comfort Lucy, the way her eyes frequently darted toward the door betrayed her true feelings.
A soft click suddenly echoed, and everyone immediately turned their attention toward the door.
Porlyusica slowly stepped out from inside, and the group hurriedly took a few steps forward, gathering around her.
"Miss Porlyusica, how is Noell?" Erza asked anxiously.
Seeing the worried faces around her, Polyushka sighed. "You should go see for yourselves. He has woken up, but..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Erza had already rushed inside.
Upon opening the door, Erza saw Noel half-lying on the bed.
His silver-white hair gently cascaded down the sides of his face, his right eye tightly shut, while his only open left eye—sky blue in color—held a hint of confusion.
Beside him, Mirajane held Noel in her arms, her face showing a complex mix of emotions.
"Noel, are you okay?" Erza rushed to his bedside, asking anxiously.
"Mm... I'm fine," Noel nodded slightly.
"See? I told you Noel would be alright!" Natsu, now standing at the doorway, grinned happily.
Right behind him, Lucy, Gray, and Happy all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're okay. Noel, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so just rest well." Erza said with a gentle smile.
"Um..." Noel suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
"Who... are you?" Noel blinked his open sky-blue left eye, looking curiously at Erza and the others. "Noel... is that my name?"
Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
------------------
"Amnesia... is that it?" Makarov closed his eyes and murmured softly outside the house.
Porlyusica nodded. "It seems that something must have happened between the two personalities inside him, causing him to lose his past memories. Noel is a very unique individual, so even I can't say for sure what exactly happened."
Makarov lifted his head, gazing at the vast blue sky, and let out a quiet sigh. "I see... Maybe this isn't so bad. For that child, forgetting everything from the past might actually be a kind of happiness."
Porlyusica remained silent.
Knowing Noel's past, she understood just how painful his memories were.
Perhaps, as Makarov said, forgetting truly was a form of happiness for him.
"I'll head back to the guild to inform the others. I'll leave Noel in your care." With another sigh, Makarov stood up and turned to leave.
"Alright," Porlyusica responded.
