Chapter 162

【"It's that we can't!"】

【"Can't?"】

【Outside the sky screen, countless people were whispering, not quite able to understand what Irene meant by "can't" in the black world.】

【Clearly possessing stronger strength, yet unable to display it?】

【And forced into a tug-of-war with the enemy?】

【What kind of logic is this?】

【However, soon, the sky screen gave the answer.】

【"Can't?" Black Black Nazi also looked at Irene with a puzzled face.】

【"Yes."】

【Irene helplessly put the bowl and chopsticks in her hand on the ground.】

【Then a pair of eyes stared at Black Black Nazi before her.】

【"Do you still remember... Acnologia, who shone brilliantly at the Dragon King Festival three hundred years ago?!"】

【Black Black Nazi heard this, and the action of eating in his hand also paused.】

【"Acnologia..."】

【He narrowed his eyes slightly.】

【How could he forget such a thing?】

【Having always regarded it as a target, he remembered the name Acnologia at all times.】

【It was also the culprit that forced Igneel and other dragons to choose to enter the bodies of Dragon Slayers to survive.】

【Outside the sky screen, countless people sat up straight at this moment.】

【Especially inside the Fairy Tail guild.】

【As people who had truly encountered Acnologia and were sealed for seven years because of it.】

【They could better understand the terror of Acnologia!】

【That was truly a... despair that had a cliff-like lead over all living beings!】

【In the screen.】

【Black Black Nazi nodded silently.】

【Irene continued: "Three hundred years ago, not long after you disappeared, the war between humans and dragons in the whole world entered its end."】

【"In this stalemate, Acnologia officially appeared; none of us knew how Acnologia evolved to such a powerful level."】

【"But there is no doubt that the strength of Acnologia at that time had shown overwhelming terror; at that time, there was no longer any dragon that was a match for that guy."】

【"And its goal was also extremely bloody; it wanted to exterminate all dragon races, whether they were hostile to humans or helping humans."】

【"Therefore, the giant dragons existing in our empire were also on Acnologia's hunting list."】

【Speaking of this, Irene couldn't help but sigh.】

【"This seemed to be a battle not on the same level at all."】

【"The arrival of Acnologia accelerated the end of the war; all dragons that still existed suffered its poisonous hands."】

【"At that time, I made a decision to let the Galaxy Empire hide, never to ask about world affairs again, and never to participate in any matters on the continent."】

【"And announced to the outside world that the Dragonof Kingdom had perished."】

【She smiled self-deprecatingly.】

【"You can also understand it as us being afraid, so we hid."】

【"However, this decision allowed us to continue to this day very well."】

【"Even, until this war, no one knew that there were dragons in our empire, until... the beginning of this war."】

【"So, you mean, the reason why you don't dispatch all the giant dragons is because you are afraid of attracting Acnologia's attention?"】

【Black Black Nazi asked.】

【Irene nodded: "Yes."】

【"That guy is just that exaggerated; even if it travels all over the world, it can feel the aura of a titled giant dragon."】

【"Therefore, we can only use a small amount of weak dragons to barely maintain the war situation; once too many dragon groups are used, or if the strength is too strong, it is possible to attract Acnologia."】

【"Even... it is very likely that our current actions have already attracted Acnologia's attention!"】

【Irene sighed lightly: "So, being suppressed by such a guy with supreme strength is really helpless."】

【"Acnologia... what exactly is going on with that guy? Tell me about it."】

【Seeming to be interested, Black Black Nazi asked Irene.】

【To be honest, Black Black Nazi's understanding of Acnologia was still based on the records in the Apocalypse, and the brief mentions by Igneel and others.】

【But, no matter which side, the description of Acnologia was not comprehensive, only saying how terrifying this guy was.】

【How ruthless this guy was, etc.】

【But, it seemed that no one knew how this guy was born.】

【No one knew what this guy's code of conduct was.】

【It was simply like a mechanism given by the world, a... mechanism that existed only for killing.】

【"Acnologia, huh..."】

【Irene's brows furrowed slightly.】

【"I have also learned a lot about this guy; simply put, this guy was actually the same as us four hundred years ago!"】

【"As a human Dragon Slayer!"】

【Laxus: "Dragon Slayer??!!"】

【Laxus, with his arms crossed, widened his eyes instantly!】

【Sting: "Dragon Slayer? What kind of joke is this, that guy... isn't he a dragon?"】

【Rogue: "I think... it should be something like dragonification?"】

【"Before, whether it was Irene of the black world or Mr. Black Black Nazi, weren't they always working hard for some perfect dragonification?"】

【Gajeel: "Before, Metalicana and the others said that during the time they were hidden in our bodies, they also helped us suppress the budding of the Dragon Seed, preventing things like dragonification."】

【"Could it be that... the result after dragonification is the same as the so-called Acnologia?"】

【Metalicana: "To be precise, it is indeed so, but you don't need to worry about this; from the moment our work was completed, you will no longer have the tendency to dragonify."】

【In the sky screen, Irene's words continued.】

【"We don't know what this guy experienced, but what is certain is that his Dragon Slayer magic went astray."】

【"At least, in my opinion, that is a wrong direction."】

【"It is strengthening itself by hunting dragon races, just like leveling up by killing monsters."】

【"The essence of magic is emotion, even Dragon Slayer magic is the same."】

【"Every time it kills a dragon and bathes in the blood of a dragon, Acnologia will be stained with the resentment of a dragon, and this resentment will make it stronger."】

【"But, at the same time, it will also make it gradually lose its humanity."】

【"The desire for killing will also become more intense; this is simply like an abyss, once you step into it, there is no way to turn back."】

【"Until this resentment, anger, fury, and countless negative emotions accumulated on its body, making it completely turn into a giant dragon."】

【Seilah covered her mouth in horror and murmured: "So, can it also be understood that Acnologia is simply a collection of the resentment of countless dragon races?"】

【Black Black Nazi frowned: "This Acnologia is completely not the same person as he was before, right?"】

【Irene nodded gently: "It can also be understood this way; in short, Acnologia can no longer be considered a former human."】

【"Or rather, the former Acnologia died long ago; what remains is the current Dragon of Apocalypse..."】

【"This is the wrong ending caused by wrong evolution."】

【"So, I am not surprised that Acnologia can reach today's level; that guy..."】

【Irene's voice paused, and she spoke with a solemn expression.】

【"Is the evil of the dragon race! The pure evil... created by gathering the negative emotions of the entire dragon race!"】

【"Does the dragon slayer end up becoming an evil dragon?"】

【Black Black Nazi, who understood this information, also couldn't help but let out a sigh.】

【Knock knock knock...】

【The tightly closed gate was knocked.】

【Also interrupting the conversation of the crowd.】
