Chapter 575: Zeref: Sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky

【At the same time, the Magic Council also just learned of the existence of the R-System, which is the Tower of Heaven.】

【The so-called Tower of Heaven was built ten years ago by a magic cult that believed in black magic.】

【Its essence is to use a massive amount of sacrifices to exchange for the resurrection of a dead person.】

【Forbidden magic that has completely deviated from humanity.】

【Before this, more than seven R-Systems had already been destroyed by the Council.】

【But I didn't expect that the eighth one would actually appear.】

【And, this is a Tower of Heaven that has already been completed!】

【Therefore, intense discussions are taking place at this moment.】

【According to the latest intelligence, the one currently in charge of the Tower of Heaven is the Council member, Siegrain's twin brother, Jellal!】

【Siegrain suggested taking unconventional means, using the satellite magic array Etherion to destroy the Tower of Heaven in one fell swoop.】

【But, due to the super-destructive power of Etherion, it could even be said that a little carelessness would be enough to destroy a small kingdom.】

【Therefore, the other councilors rejected this proposal.】

【Until Siegrain said the person the Tower of Heaven wanted to revive.】

【The legendary Black Mage Zeref!】

Seeing this, Jellal outside the sky screen was stunned.

He smacked his lips and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Eh? Res... resurrect me??"

"No, what does this have to do with me?"

Zeref expressed that he was very surprised.

And also very confused.

As the saying goes, sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky, that's probably the truth, right?

【The sky screen footage continues.】

【After Siegrain said these words, sure enough, the people of the Council panicked.】

【Resurrect the legendary Black Mage Zeref?】

【This kind of thing must absolutely not be allowed to happen.】

【Therefore, even the councilors who originally didn't agree to launch Etherion cast their votes in favor, except for Yajima.】

【This unremarkable old man seemed to smell an unusual taste in it.】

【But, the general trend was set, and relying on Yajima's power alone, he couldn't change anything in the end.】

【Finally, the Magic Council decided to launch Etherion, with a countdown of twenty minutes!】

【Inside the Tower of Heaven.】

【Natsu and the others had successfully entered this island.】

【But, unfortunately, their secret infiltration plan failed and they were discovered by the army on the island.】

【In the end, they had no choice but to start a battle.】

【Just a few troops naturally couldn't stop mages like Natsu, and they were all wiped out very quickly.】

【Just when Natsu and the others didn't know where to walk, the suddenly appearing stairs pointed out the direction for everyone.】

【Such an action also made Lucy keenly notice that their actions had already been noticed by the master of this tower.】

【And he even invited them to enter the tower.】

【In order to save Erza, everyone had to step on the stairs and continue to move forward into the tower.】

【Soon, in a large hall, everyone met Erza, who had also broken free from her restraints and was wandering in the tower.】

【The two sides met, and both Erza and Natsu and the others were very surprised.】

【Just when Erza wanted to persuade everyone to go back.】

【Natsu, in order to find Happy, rejected Erza's proposal, and didn't even give her a chance to refute, before rushing out in a flash.】

【Gray and the others saw this and also wanted to chase after him, but were stopped by Erza.】

【Erza said she could take Natsu and Happy back, but Gray and the others had to leave.】

【Gray didn't understand, and finally, under constant questioning, Erza told this sealed past.】

【Ten years ago, a black magic cult that believed in black magic, in order to build this Tower of Heaven.】

【Caught a large amount of labor and brought them to this island.】

【Young Erza also became one of the slaves in this tower.】

【At that time, many people who attempted to resist and escape disappeared one after another.】

【Therefore, everyone caught here couldn't be at peace in their hearts, and lived in fear at all times.】

【It was also at that time that Erza met a group of friends, namely Sho, and Simon and others, and everyone relied on each other for survival.】

【And at that time, Jellal was also among them.】

【At that time, Jellal still possessed a strong sense of justice.】

【Once, Sho planned an escape, but it ended in failure.】

【When investigating the culprit, Erza became the victim.】

【She replaced Sho, was taken to a small dark room, and her right eye was also destroyed in this incident.】

Outside the sky screen, Irene's heart was filled with mixed feelings watching all this.

Until this moment, she finally understood what Erza had experienced in the past.

She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something.

But, the intense self-blame in her heart flooded her like a tide.

Making her stand on the spot at a loss like a child who had made a mistake.

【The footage in the sky screen continues.】

【Erza was captured, and the survivors all seemed to have completely awakened to a truth: staying here could only mean waiting for death.】

【They wanted freedom! They also thought of resisting.】

【The result of the resistance was another failure.】

【But the good news was that Erza was saved.】

【The bad news was that Jellal was captured again.】

【The returned Erza was completely exposed.】

【She snatched the guard's weapon and called on everyone to stand up and resist.】

【Under Erza's encouragement, everyone decided to fight one more time, and they picked up weapons and started to resist.】

【The result this time was successful.】

【Everyone successfully knocked down the guards.】

【They even liberated an area.】

【Such a phased victory made everyone a bit carried away.】

【Until the arrival of the magic soldiers.】

【Possessing powerful strength, magic soldiers who could use magic were naturally not something a group of slaves could deal with.】

【In the chaos and explosions.】

【The slaves who had just mustered up the courage fled in panic.】

【The isolated Erza encountered the attention of the magic soldiers, and countless magic circles began to shine at Erza.】

【Just at this moment, the elderly Rob helped Erza block this blow.】

【Erza was very surprised that Rob, who had always taken care of them, appeared here.】

【Even, in order for Erza to live, Rob used his last magic power, launched his final magic, and defeated more than half of the magic soldiers.】

【But at the same time, he also fell into a state of impending collapse.】

【After all, for a mage, magic power is everything, and Rob, who lost his magic power, was simply like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.】

【But, even such a Rob once again braced his body and helped Erza block an attack from the magic soldiers again!】

【And died because of it.】

【In despair and great sorrow, Erza awakened!】 ===== CHAPTER 576 =====
