Chapter 54

On the top floor of the Tower of Heaven, Jellal, dressed in a black robe, leaned one hand on the throne.

At this moment, he was manipulating the Council's meeting through his Thought Projection, Siegrain.

Only one vote left!

Now, as long as one councilor agrees to release Etherion on the Tower of Heaven, the Council will use Etherion to attack the Tower of Heaven.

At that time, the Tower of Heaven will absorb the massive magic power within Etherion, thereby truly completing the R-System that can resurrect the dead.

Just as Siegrain was inciting those hesitant councilors, a guard rushed to the top floor of the Tower of Heaven in a panic and reported to Jellal on the throne: "Lord Jellal, the Fairy Tail mages have killed their way up!"

Regarding the guard's report, Jellal acted as if he hadn't heard.

At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the Council's meeting.

A few seconds later, through the incitement of the Thought Projection Siegrain, a councilor raised his hand.

Seeing this, a smirk curled at the corner of Jellal's mouth.

"Everything is over!"

Bang—

No sooner had Jellal finished speaking than a loud noise suddenly erupted outside the hall.

Ahhh—

Accompanied by two screams, the bodies of two guards flew back inside.

Jellal's expression remained unchanged as he looked up.

He saw a black-haired man in a black robe walking in leisurely.

"Lord Jellal, it's this person!"

The guard who had come to report first looked at Ye Yu, who had broken in, and said to Jellal with a look of fear.

"Retreat to the side!"

Jellal looked at Ye Yu and signaled to the guard.

After the guard retreated to the side, Ye Yu walked to the center of the hall, stopped, and locked eyes with Jellal on the throne.

"Ye Yu?!"

Jellal looked at Ye Yu before him, a look of interest appearing on his face.

Seeing that Jellal actually recognized him, Ye Yu's brows twitched instantly.

But soon he was relieved.

Back on Galuna Island, he had fought against Ultear.

Ye Yu knew that the crystal ball Ultear used had long-distance projection capabilities.

According to Ye Yu's guess, the situation of his fight with Ultear at that time had already been seen clearly by Jellal through the crystal ball.

It was not strange at all that Jellal recognized him now.

"If you had come a few minutes earlier, I might have played with you, but now, it's a great pity, everything is over!"

Jellal stood up from the throne, spread his arms in the posture of a victor, and said to Ye Yu.

Hum—

No sooner had Jellal finished speaking than a huge magic power vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tower of Heaven.

"That is..."

Ye Yu looked up at the vortex full of magic power in the sky, his expression changing slightly.

"That is Etherion; once that falls, the entire Tower of Heaven will be destroyed!"

Jellal glanced at Ye Yu, then looked up at the sky, and said in a fanatical tone.

Keep lying, keep lying!

A man full of lies.

If it were someone else here, they might believe Jellal's words.

But Ye Yu knew that after Etherion fell, not only would the Tower of Heaven not be destroyed, but it would also truly complete the Tower of Heaven.

Immediately after, under Ye Yu's gaze and Jellal's anticipation, a huge pillar of magic light rushed down from the vortex.

In just an instant, the massive pillar of magic light struck the Tower of Heaven.

At this moment, an incomparably dazzling light bloomed over the sea area where the Tower of Heaven was located.

It was originally night.

But under the illumination of this dazzling light, the entire sky was as bright as day.

This dazzling light lasted for a full few seconds.

A few seconds later, the light dissipated.

The Tower of Heaven was not destroyed.

And the people inside the Tower of Heaven were also safe and sound.

"Hahahaha, those idiots in the Council, the Tower of Heaven only truly completed after absorbing 2.7 billion concepts of massive magic power!"

At this moment, Jellal, as if he had gone mad, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Amidst Jellal's wild laughter, a large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the massive Tower of Heaven.

Crack crack—

Immediately after, the outer surface of the Tower of Heaven fell off completely, and a magic crystal resembling a tall tower was completely exposed to the air.

And this massive magic crystal was the true form of the R-System.

"Ye Yu, is that guy Jellal?"

Soon, a familiar voice came from the air.

Following the sound, he saw Brother Na Zi and Gray rushing toward this side.

"Brother Na Zi, son of the dragon, now only Erza is missing to have everyone here!"

Jellal looked at Brother Na Zi and Gray rushing over, then continued: "Next, let you see with your own eyes the end of one era and the arrival of another!"

Having said that, Jellal threw the guard behind him into the magic crystal of the R-System.

Looking at his posture, it seemed he wanted to use the guard's life as a sacrifice to resurrect Zeref.

"Brother Na Zi!"

Jellal wanted to resurrect Zeref, and Gray was the first to disagree.

After calling out to Brother Na Zi, he launched an attack directly at Jellal.

Immediately after, Brother Na Zi also rushed up.

However, Ye Yu was not in a hurry to make a move.

After all, Jellal right now was not in his complete form.

Only when Jellal and the Thought Projection Siegrain merged into one would Jellal's strength be fully restored.

Besides, Zeref was not dead at all.

Ye Yu also wanted to see what this so-called R-System would eventually resurrect.

While Ye Yu was thinking, Brother Na Zi and Gray had already engaged in a fierce battle with Jellal.

Because the power possessed by Jellal's true body was very small, he soon fell into a disadvantage.

【Ice-Make, Knuckle!】
