Chapter 34

"This young lady seems to need a little help."

Aizen Sosuke looked at Lucy, who was bound on the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.

Before Lucy could say anything, Aizen Sosuke walked to Lucy’s side, spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips, turning into a fairly sharp small knife, and cut the cat-rope on Lucy’s body.

"You really helped a lot!"

"Things are really urgent right now, so I don't have time to thank you, sir."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely treat you to a meal next time!"

Lucy moved her wrists and bowed to Aizen Sosuke.

After speaking, Lucy quickly ran toward the direction of the casino entrance.

She should have thanked Aizen Sosuke properly, but now that Erza had been kidnapped, there was really no time to delay; Lucy had to quickly find her other companions, Natsu and Gray.

It is worth mentioning that because Phantom Lord was solved very decisively by Ace.

Therefore, Juvia, the S-rank Class Mage of the former Phantom Lord, was not attracted to Gray and did not fall in love with him, so she did not follow Gray to the vacation resort as in the original plot.

And Aizen Sosuke watched Lucy’s back as she ran away, did not say much, ignored the people sealed in cards on the ground, and walked toward the direction outside the casino entrance unhurriedly.

Eventually, he gradually disappeared from everyone’s line of sight.

'Showed my face a little in front of the original protagonist team.'

'Natsu’s sense of smell is very sharp, so I don't need further guidance; he can just sniff his way there. I just need to wait for them to find the location of the Tower of Heaven themselves.'

Lin Cheng sat at the bar of a small tavern, tapping his fingers on the tabletop one by one.

For now, letting the plot develop naturally is fine; it is not yet time for the characters on Lin Cheng’s side to officially appear.

As for why he appeared in front of Lucy with Aizen Sosuke’s true appearance, it was because Lin Cheng was preparing to temporarily place Aizen Sosuke in the righteous camp.

Until Aizen Sosuke flips the table, he will maintain a relatively good relationship with the people of Fairy Tail and other camps with positive significance.

'The Magic Council will use Etherion in this Tower of Heaven incident.'

'This is completely different from the last time Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail went to all-out war; it’s super big news.'

The reason Lin Cheng is so keen on the Tower of Heaven chapter plot is that the Magic Council will use Etherion in the Tower of Heaven chapter plot, causing a global sensation.

There is no need to think about this kind of super big news; as long as Lin Cheng participates, he can harvest massive amounts of emotion points.

Let alone eight-digit emotion points, even nine-digit emotion points are not impossible. Under such circumstances, Lin Cheng naturally could not let go of the Tower of Heaven plot.

The number of Witch Cult puppets is too small, and the star rating is only one star, which is relatively weak.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates puppet Ace has reached the standard in terms of strength, it is obviously impossible to squeeze him in.

So only Lin Cheng’s newly drawn S-rank puppet Aizen Sosuke and the Akatsuki series puppets are left. Lin Cheng is preparing to use Aizen Sosuke as an emotion point harvester for the righteous side, so only the puppets from the Akatsuki organization are left.

The original author has been constantly creating one boss after another that cannot be defeated by the Fairy Tail protagonist team, but in the end, they are all defeated by the Fairy Tail protagonist team.

This time, Lin Cheng is prepared to let the Fairy Tail protagonist team truly suffer a crushing defeat once.

At this time, through Konan’s tracking in the sky, Lin Cheng had already determined the exact location of the Tower of Heaven. Once the location was determined, many things naturally became much simpler.

Tower of Heaven, top.

"How rare."

A man wearing a hood, leaning lightly on a seat, looked at the woman who landed gently in front of him from mid-air, chuckled, and said, "I didn't expect that I would have guests here."

"I wonder, what is the matter that you have come to me at this time?"

The hooded man is naturally the actual controller of the Tower of Heaven, Jellal Fernandes.

As for the woman who landed in front of Jellal, it is naturally Konan, whom Lin Cheng sent to track the ship earlier.

At this time, Jellal was looking at Konan, who had landed in front of him, with great interest.

As the boss with the highest status in the early stages of the original story, Jellal has the professional quality of a villain boss; as long as he can talk, he will definitely not make a move.

As long as he can hold back, he will definitely not go all out.

"It seems you are Mr. Jellal."

Konan looked at Jellal, her expression did not change much, and said, "I am acting under the orders of the organization to come and protect Mr. Jellal’s life, and then invite Mr. Jellal to join our organization."

"Protect my life?"

"That is truly too interesting."

After Jellal heard Konan’s words, an extremely amused expression appeared on his face, and he said, "Inviting me to join your organization, I wonder what the name of your organization is?"

"Also, what made you have this illusion that I would be in danger of my life?"

While speaking, a dangerous light appeared in Jellal’s eyes.

Jellal admitted that the strength Ace displayed earlier was indeed unexpectedly powerful, but this did not mean that Jellal himself did not have the confidence to fight Ace.

Jellal was only 50% of Jellal’s strength, and he had also hidden his true skill.

Even so, Jellal, after being tested by the Magic Council, was still able to rank ninth among the Ten Wizard Saints.

Once Jellal takes back the power distributed to Jellal, Jellal’s strength will completely exceed the level of conventional Ten Wizard Saints.

Jellal believed that at that time, even fighting the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar would not be a problem.

"The name of our organization is 'Akatsuki'."

"As for whether Mr. Jellal will be in danger of your life, you will know soon."

"Although from beginning to end, what Mr. Jellal is pursuing is a joke, we still think highly of Mr. Jellal."

"Choosing to give Mr. Jellal a chance to choose when Mr. Jellal fails."

Not caring about Jellal’s gradually dangerous gaze, Konan stated calmly.

This arrogance and haughtiness revealed from the bones made Jellal extremely unhappy.

It was always Jellal’s turn to be arrogant and haughty to others; when was it someone else’s turn to do this to him?

As Konan’s voice fell, Jellal’s face became gloomy.

"Interesting."

"It seems that before my plan succeeds, perhaps I can have some other activities."

Jellal looked at Konan, whose expression had been extremely calm from beginning to end, and said slightly gloomily, "Then, I can make an exception and allow you to kneel here and wait for the moment I succeed."

"Six Stars!"

Jellal raised his right arm, with his middle finger and index finger pressed tightly together.

A huge magic circle flashing with golden light appeared at Jellal’s feet, and then six stars with terrifying power appeared in mid-air, crashing toward Konan’s location.

Although at this moment, Jellal’s power was only 50% of his peak period, it could not be underestimated.

Six stars, each possessing the terrifying power of a full-force strike from a conventional A-rank Class Mage.

The combined attack of the six stars had completely reached the level of a Ten Wizard Saint.

A conventional Ten Wizard Saint would probably be a little embarrassed if they took this move.

"Dance of the Shikigami."

Watching the six stars crashing toward her, a large amount of paper began to appear on Konan’s body, continuously wrapping toward the stars.

Under Konan’s special ninjutsu, these papers could change their form freely; they could be talismans inscribed with defensive spells, or talismans inscribed with offensive spells.

Capable of performing attacks, defense, and reconnaissance.

Now Konan was using these papers to defend against the star attack while mixing in a large number of explosive tags.

Although Konan’s puppet level was only B-rank, Lin Cheng had already spent 100,000 emotion points to upgrade Konan’s puppet level from B-rank one-star to B-rank two-star, possessing power close to an A-rank one-star puppet.

All aspects of her attributes had been significantly improved.

Perhaps she still couldn't beat Jellal, who only had 50% of his power, but if it was just stalling, there was no problem.

Each explosive tag was no less than a high-level Fire Style ninjutsu released at full force by a Jonin.

In a series of explosions, the entire Tower of Heaven shook slightly.

In fact, if Konan hadn't pasted talismans inscribed with defensive spells on some key corners of the top of the Tower of Heaven, I’m afraid the series of explosions just now would not have been just a simple shaking of the Tower of Heaven.

Now that Konan is a B-rank two-star puppet, her power has completely reached the level of an S-rank Class Mage.

In the end, in front of a series of explosive tags, Jellal’s Six Stars were blown to pieces, and Konan, after the star upgrade, successfully blocked Jellal’s Six Stars.

"Blocked the Six Stars, not bad."

"Since that’s the case, I will give you the qualification to stand and watch."
