Chapter 237

【"In a certain sea area, there exists a device called the Tower of Heaven. It is a forbidden magic used to resurrect the dead. You should know about it, right?"】

【Black Natsu nodded.】

【"The magic to resurrect the dead, in its essence, is to communicate with the souls of the departed, use a large number of sacrifices to reshape a body that no one knows what it is, and then use a massive, astronomical amount of magic power to promote the fusion of the soul and the body."】

【"This is an existence that defies the laws of heaven. Therefore, people resurrected using this method can no longer be called humans, but rather undead monsters."】

【"The Tower of Heaven... what does it have to do with the revenge you mentioned?" Erza asked.】

【"It's very simple. Although the Tower of Heaven actually cannot resurrect the dead, it truly can communicate with souls," the Dancer explained.】

【"And, as long as you reverse the magic circle of the Tower of Heaven, you can turn the astronomical amount of magic power originally used to promote the fusion of soul and body into destructive magic power, destroying the awakened soul at the soul level."】

【"So... you want to use the Tower of Heaven to completely shatter the soul of the White Heavenly Maiden?" Mirajane asked.】

【"Of course!"】

【The Dancer gritted her teeth!】

【"For a god, as long as the soul still exists, there is bound to be a day of revival. I don't want to see that day come no matter what."】

【"If I can kill her completely, I won't let her go no matter what!"】

【She then looked at Black Natsu: "I believe you can do this, both in terms of temperament and strength."】

【"So, this is a win-win deal. How about it?"】

【Black Natsu pondered for a while: "Can I trust you?"】

【The Dancer: "Of course. From the moment I decided to make a deal with you, I haven't had any ulterior motives toward you. From my attitude of telling you everything along the way, you should be able to see that, right?"】

【"And..."】

【Speaking of this, the Dancer paused, a flash of determination in her expression.】

【"I can even give you my godhood as collateral. If I don't fulfill my promise after you complete the task, you can do whatever you want with my godhood!"】

【"However, one thing must be made clear: the dragon soul in your body is not complete. If you want it to revive, you need to go and take back the missing soul."】

【"As a soul body, I can't do that. It's up to you."】

【"How about it? Make your choice!"】

【Black Natsu suddenly smiled: "Aren't you afraid I'll break my word?"】

【"After all, godhood is a pretty good thing no matter how you look at it. What if I just snatch it?"】

【"You won't."】

【The Dancer's expression was just as confident as Black Natsu's had been.】

【"You are the same kind of person as me. You wouldn't deign to take such collateral for a deal!"】

【"Since you trust me so much, what reason do I have to refuse?"】

【Black Natsu spoke slowly:】

【"Deal!"】

Makarov: "Seeking benefit with a god... is this really reliable?"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov, watching the sky screen, couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.

Mavis: "Who knows? The existence of gods exceeds the scope of what we can understand, but..."

Her emerald eyes stared fixedly at the sky screen.

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Since Black Natsu has made a decision, what are we still hesitating about?"

"After all, it's Black Natsu. Sometimes, we are indeed too timid."

"That's why we lack that self-confidence that exceeds everyone's imagination, isn't it?"

Makarov smiled upon hearing this: "Yes, perhaps this is the biggest gap between us and those who have left their names in history."

"This kind of thing is truly innate, an unchangeable trait."

Mavis: "But, being able to witness the legendary experiences of such an existence can be considered lucky, right?"

【Inside the sky screen.】

【With the deal reached, the Dancer naturally began to arrange for Black Natsu and the others to return to Galuna Island.】

【After all, there was still a mess to clean up there.】

【Thus, led by the Dancer, the group arrived at the highest peak in the Moon God's domain.】

【"Then, I'll leave the godhood with you. Similarly, this is also the thing to contact me."】

【Before leaving, the Dancer handed a dark, six-sided crystal to Black Natsu.】

【"After you fulfill your promise, I will come to find you myself and fulfill my promise."】

【"Then... good luck!"】

【Following the Dancer's final words, she slowly raised her hands.】

【The next moment! Countless people could clearly see,】

【As the Dancer's hands moved.】

【It was as if the sky itself was being stirred; the entire starry sky began to flow.】

【It was like an image of the starry sky being played on fast-forward.】

【The stars flowed, and the surrounding scenery retreated crazily.】

【As the speed continued to increase, the surrounding scene became blurred.】

【"What... what is going on??"】

【Seeing this unexpected scene, Seilah couldn't help but scream.】

【But, at this moment, no one could respond to her.】

【Or rather, everyone was staring intently at the crazily flowing starry sky, their shock self-evident.】

【Finally, when the fast-flowing starry sky gradually returned to calm.】

【The moment it stabilized.】

【Everyone could discover in horror that everything around them had changed.】

【The surroundings were no longer the Moon God's domain filled with scarlet moonlight.】

【A forest shrouded in darkness appeared before everyone's eyes.】

【The chirping of cicadas also rang in their ears.】

【Not far away, pale purple moonlight descended from the sky, with several magic circles rotating continuously in its path.】

【The landing point of the purple moonlight pillar was the ancient Moon Temple from before.】

【"This is... Galuna Island?" Mirajane came back to her senses and asked in disbelief.】

【Erza looked through the cliff toward the Moon Temple below, then shrugged her shoulders.】

【"It seems we have returned to Galuna Island."】

【"What an amazing method. Is this really something a god whose soul has suffered trauma can do?"】

【Seilah still couldn't help but exclaim.】

【"If they couldn't even do this, they wouldn't deserve to be called a god," Black Natsu said.】

【"Alright, dwelling on this is meaningless. I wonder how Lucy and the others are doing."】

【As he spoke, Black Natsu closed his eyes.】

【His senses were fully expanded at this moment.】

【Immediately, countless scents swarmed in, all perfectly captured by Black Natsu.】

【Amidst the astronomical number of mixed scents.】

【Black Natsu opened his eyes in less than ten seconds.】

【"How is it?" Erza asked.】

【Although they were both Dragon Slayers, Erza believed that in such a situation, her sense of smell could absolutely not compare to Black Natsu's.】

【One could only say that there are gaps even among Dragon Slayers.】

【Black Natsu's sense of smell was absolutely monstrous.】

【Black Natsu nodded slightly: "I found the scents of Lucy, Gray, and Happy. Their lives are at least not in danger, but..."】

【"But what?" Mirajane asked curiously.】

【Black Natsu turned to look at the two: "But their situation doesn't seem very optimistic."】

【"Lucy and Happy are being chased and beaten by three guys. As for Gray... he seems to be in a one-on-one fight, but Gray's aura is very weak."】
