It's not really that unlikely. If you remember Byro from Edolas he theorized that Lucy's magic worked a lot like Anima. And what was Anima? It was a spell to suck out any form of magic from another world at a certain place and deliver it to Edolas in the form of lacrima. Now, doesn't that look like what Mard did in this chapter, except that it's the ultimate curse and it removes the concept of life and death. If it wasn't for dragon slaying magic everyone whos was sucked to edolas would've remained a lacrima for all eternity.

Now this may just be wishfull thinking, but what if that theory is something from the One Magic. If that's the case then we've been given some vague hints about Lucy and the one magic for example, like how celestial spirit magic can work with dark arts(Eclipse), Byro's theory about Lucy's magic and the whole one magic and how Lucy knew about it from her mom. Also what exactly do we know about her mom or Lucy's past other than she was an heiress and ran away. My point is that a powerup for Lucy from one magic is not that unlikely.
