Chapter 235

【"She and I were playmates from childhood. I originally thought we were inseparable best friends who told each other everything."】

【"But, until one day later, that woman took a fancy to a man, but that man didn't take a fancy to her."】

【"Though, thinking about it carefully, with me around, how could anyone take a fancy to her?"】

【"Anyway, the person that man liked was me."】

【"And as for me, I didn't think much of that guy."】

【"But because of this, that woman viewed me as an enemy, and then actually thought about getting rid of me."】

【"Because of jealousy?" Seilah asked.】

【"Yes. After all, I was better than that woman in every way since we were kids." The Dancer spread her hands.】

【"I have to say, that guy hid it quite well."】

【"It wasn't until one day, when she successfully poisoned me, that I found out."】

【"So, I had a fight with that stinking woman."】

【"But it's a pity that, poisoned as I was, I had less than one-tenth of my strength, and I was actually suppressed by that bitch."】

【"In the end, she defeated me on top of Spirit Peak Zonia."】

【Although the Dancer's tone was calm, Black Natsu could feel the hidden anger in her words.】

【"That bitch still wouldn't stop; she destroyed my divine body and even wanted to grind my soul into nothingness."】

【"However, I'm no pushover. In the end, my soul escaped, and I even dealt that bitch a blow."】

【"I can guarantee that after taking that hit from me, even though she had evolved into a god, she definitely didn't have a good time. If she's still alive, I reckon that injury hasn't healed even now."】

【Shaking her head, the Dancer's words continued: "After that, my divine soul wandered between this heaven and earth."】

【"The all-out counterattack from before also left my soul weakened to a certain degree, and I even suffered severe trauma."】

【"There was no other way; to maintain my will, I needed to replenish life energy. That's those stone statues you saw outside earlier, and it has continued until today."】

【"You few accidentally broke in here, which caught me off guard."】

【After thinking for a moment, Black Natsu couldn't help but raise his head: "By the way, you just said, if that White Heavenly Maiden is still alive—what does that mean..."】

【The Dancer looked at Black Natsu and said with a smile: "She's dead."】

【"Yes, the White Heavenly Maiden is also dead."】

【"She died at the hands of the man she loved most. I can only say, it's all retribution."】

【"From the first moment I saw that man, I could tell he wasn't a good sort. After I died, he shamelessly sought out that bitch."】

【Speaking of this, the Dancer curled her lip in disdain: "That idiot thought she had really made him change his mind, but she didn't expect that he also had an agenda."】

【"His goal was that bitch's godhood."】

【"And so, the same method was staged once again, only this time, that bitch became the victim and died directly from the poison."】

【"The source of divine power, the godhood, was also snatched by that man, and he used it to become a new god in one fell swoop."】

【"It seems he even calls himself the God of Life and Death, but in reality, he's just a guy with a dark heart."】

【The moment the Dancer's voice fell.】

【Black Natsu, Erza, Mirajane, and the others couldn't help but be slightly shocked!】

【The God of Life and Death?】

【Isn't that the God Ankhseram?】

Outside the sky screen, countless people opened their mouths in horror the moment they learned this news.

The God Ankhseram—this name is far too famous in this era.

So much so that even children have heard his name.

The god who governs life and death.

The former Black Wizard Zeref was cursed by the God Ankhseram because he studied life.

After all, for a god, they don't need humans to understand too much; the construction of life and such was never meant to be a power that humans could master.

Mere humans, daring to touch the construction of life?

And so, fueled by the jealousy of the God Ankhseram, the most terrifying curse in the world was placed upon Zeref.

Only at this moment did everyone gain a clearer understanding of this god.

Good heavens, so this is how this god ascended to his position?

By killing his own wife to become a god?

Of course, although that White Heavenly Maiden seems to be the same kind of trash.

It's no wonder these two could end up together.

【"That is the general story."】

【The Dancer said.】

【Black Natsu and the others present looked at each other.】

【Uh... how should I put it...】

【"A bit melodramatic," Mirajane evaluated.】

【"I didn't expect that the stories between gods would be so straightforward. It feels no different from ordinary people," Erza said.】

【The Dancer waved her hand: "I said it before, so-called gods are just products of human evolution. In essence, they are still human, and these things are still unavoidable."】

【Her gaze fixed intently on everyone present: "Although the story is simple, this is the evil of human nature. Although that bitch is dead, I will never forget the despair... and anger of being backstabbed that day!"】

【The Dancer clenched her fists tightly.】

【She couldn't calm her emotions no matter what.】

【"So, what does this have to do with the deal you mentioned?" Black Natsu asked.】

【"Of course it does," the Dancer said, raising her head.】

【"The deal I mentioned is related to this matter."】

【Black Natsu sat up straight: "Just say it directly."】

【"Help me take revenge!" The Dancer stared straight at Black Natsu.】

【"Although that guy is already dead, he is still in a soul state just like me. He might be sleeping in some corner of this world, waiting to recover himself."】

【"I am different from her. My divine soul has also suffered severe trauma and can only rely on the essence of life to keep myself from dissipating."】

【"But that bitch's divine soul is completely intact. As long as she accumulates enough power, she can still be resurrected."】

【"I don't want to see that woman successfully resurrect. She must die!"】

【The Dancer said angrily, clenching her fists.】

【Black Natsu, hearing this, frowned slightly: "Not to mention whether I can do it."】

【"What benefit do I get after helping you?"】

【The Dancer's gaze met Black Natsu's eyes.】

【The previous anger seemed to have vanished completely, and she spoke slowly: "Since I said it's a deal, it must be beneficial to both sides."】

【"As long as you help me succeed in my revenge, I will help you achieve the thing you have always wanted to do."】

【Black Natsu was somewhat surprised: "Do you know what I want to do?"】

【The Dancer smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Although I can't be certain, it should be related to a certain dragon, right?"】

【"Most of that dragon's soul was extracted, leaving only a little bit lingering in your body. Don't you want to help it recover to normal?"】

【"This is the deal."】

【"Besides... you should know that you are going to die, right?"】

【As soon as these words were spoken! The pupils of Erza and Mirajane behind Black Natsu shrank violently!】

【Seilah was even instantly enraged: "How is that possible! You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?!"】
