Chapter 326

【Although he has become immortal, for someone who loves life.】

【Isn't this a kind of eternal torture?】

【Putting yourself in his shoes, this is really a very terrifying thing.】

【It means that you will be alone until the end of time.】

【You cannot feel family affection, friendship, love; you can only struggle in eternal pain and entanglement.】

【This is the curse of the god Ankhseram.】

【For those who violate the absolute taboo... an eternal punishment!】

【But, why has the Galaxy Empire in the sky screen even truly created so many demons, why... have they not suffered this curse?】

【Lucy: "God Ankhseram, in the books I have read, it is recorded as the god of life and death."】

【"The book records that all life is under the control of the god Ankhseram."】

【"Logically speaking, such large-scale creation of life shouldn't be able to avoid alarming this god, right?"】

【Levy: "I have a different view from Lucy, God! It's ethereal; no one knows if it really exists."】

【"Rather than calling it a curse, I am more inclined to... the rules of the world."】

【Hades: "The rules of the world?"】

【"A little girl dares to speak wildly about the rules of the world?"】

【Zeref: "Perhaps... I know why this is!"】

【"We can really understand it as the rules of the world; once violated, it will attract this curse, of course, the existence of gods is not excluded."】

【"It's something like gods intervening."】

【After Zeref's words fell, the world channel seemed to fall into silence.】

【After all, this person is the one who has really suffered the curse.】

【Perhaps, he really can know what the reason is.】

【Brian: "So, what exactly do you mean?"】

【Zeref: "I don't know how to describe my feelings... I have never thought about this kind of problem before."】

【"But, I have a feeling that the curse was definitely not attracted simply by studying the boundaries of life and death."】

【In the nameless place, he looked at the sky screen.】

【His brows were tightly furrowed.】

【"Perhaps... it was attracted because of the creation of demons, no... it should be the Etherious race, such a race!"】

【"So, only the founder will suffer the curse?"】

【Seilah looked at Irene, who was explaining to Black Natsu, with a puzzled face.】

【"Actually, that's not right either." Irene shook her head gently.】

【"Regarding this problem, Zeref also gave a similar answer; to summarize it generally, it's probably like this."】

【Irene said, looking at the culture room in front.】

【"The reason for suffering the curse is because Zeref studied life and created the Etherious demon race."】

【"And the way the Etherious demon race was born only had human intervention."】

【"That is, life construction technology; through Zeref's creation, the Etherious demon race truly appeared in the world."】

【"They are a new race truly independent of the demons that existed in the original world."】

【"Zeref was punished and cursed, and the Etherious demon race also truly obtained the qualification to survive in this world."】

【"It also means that the world truly recognized the Etherious race, so what we did was just to conform to the birth method of the Etherious race, so, strictly speaking, it doesn't count as creating life!"】

【Outside the sky screen.】

【After Irene's explanation.】

【Countless people couldn't help but suddenly realize.】

【Brian: "So, this is a bug?"】

【Hades: "In that case, I understand too; the Galaxy Empire used the loopholes of the world to successfully create life!"】

【"Hiss! In that case, doesn't it mean that everyone can create Etherious demons?"】

【Speaking of this, Hades' words stopped abruptly!】

【He couldn't help but recall the magic he had used before.】

【In the Book of Zeref, Chapter 4, Paragraph 12, the forbidden magic—the executioner's heavenly punishment of the underworld magic heaven!】

【The essence of that magic is also to create demons from inconspicuous clods of earth!】

【If you delve into it carefully.】

【That also counts as the most basic form of life.】

【Similar to... single-celled organisms!】

【Hades: "So that's it, so that's it!"】

【"This way, one can perfectly avoid the curse of the god Ankhseram!"】

【Jellal: "However, if Zeref doesn't say it, no one can create the creation method of the Etherious race."】

【Mavis: "If you study it without authorization... it may also lead to unpredictable consequences."】

【Makarov: "This thing is really terrifying, so it's better not to touch the taboo of life and death."】

【In the footage, after Irene's explanation, Black Natsu also nodded gently.】

【Seeing this, Irene continued to tell.】

【"Originally, we who successfully mastered this technology were preparing to start the second stage, which is to construct experimental subjects to study the feasibility of perfect dragonification for Dragon Slayers."】

【"Even the experimental subjects had been successfully constructed, but... who knew that at this time, the news leaked and became an excuse for other kingdoms on the continent to crusade against us."】

【"Thus, the war broke out."】

【Speaking of this, Irene's tone was full of helplessness.】

【"Those bastards, they really should come and see what the demons they fear are like?"】

【"I dare say that the Etherious race we created is simpler than those profit-driven guys!"】

【Black Natsu shook his head gently upon hearing this: "Even if they saw it, they wouldn't admit it."】

【"In the end, this is just an excuse to unite the whole continent to cannibalize the Galaxy Empire; even if this didn't happen, they would make it up."】

【Irene nodded in deep agreement.】

【"Those bastards, in the negotiations some time ago, actually dared to say that we should cede land and compensate them for hundreds of years of the empire's finances; what do they take us for?"】

【Irene said angrily.】

【"Then how did you respond?"】

【Black Natsu looked at Irene.】

【"How else could I respond? If they have the ability, let them come and crusade against me!"】

【The moment she said this, Irene's back straightened up.】

【Her tone was unprecedentedly firm.】

【I can only say, as expected of a Queen, this domineering spirit of daring to defy the world is not something ordinary people can say.】

【"By the way, can I go and see that experimental subject you mentioned?"】

【Black Natsu looked at Irene and asked.】

【"Perhaps... I can help you perfect this experiment."】

【"If it's you..."】

【Irene's gaze also looked at Black Natsu simultaneously.】

【Her expression gradually became excited.】

【"If it's you, you definitely can! This is your theory!"】

【"However... I might not be able to stay for long," Black Natsu said.】

【As soon as these words came out, Irene, and even Seilah on the side, couldn't help but widen their eyes.】

【Irene asked anxiously: "You... are you not staying?"】

【"Stay and be the King here!"】

【"Young Master? Are you leaving? Anyway, no matter where you go, Seilah will follow you!"】

【Hearing the words of the two, even Black Natsu couldn't help but smile bitterly.】

【"I... cannot stay."】

【"I am not a person of this era!"】
