Chapter 336: Ch 336 : The Final Showdown 2
Why had it come to this?
Noel had asked himself countless times in his heart, what was the reason he believed he was right?
Almost adhering strictly to this path, was this really the best choice?
Or, as Lia had said, no matter how far this world developed, the so-called sorrow, pain, and despair would never disappear.
So, was it truly the right thing to do to completely shatter everything and be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix?
It wasn’t until later that Noel realized the answer to this question didn’t need to be asked to anyone, because the answer had always been within his own heart.
— Noel loved this world, and that’s why he wanted to protect it.
Yes, Noel had once experienced heart-wrenching sorrow and unforgettable despair in this world.
At that time, Noel seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, where even if he looked up, all he could see was a dark, deep void that made him feel utterly hopeless, seeing no trace of hope or happiness.
If no one had come to save him, perhaps one day Noel would have come to share the same thoughts as Lia, believing that this world was worthless, and that only complete destruction could create a new one.
But Noel was lucky.
At the time when he was most lost, he met Makarov, joined the Fairy Tail guild, and found his own "home."
