Chapter 37

'What’s going on?'

'When did this guy appear?!'

Looking at the man who entered his line of sight, Jellal’s pupils shrank sharply, and the originally relaxed and comfortable expression on his face suddenly became shocked and uncertain.

If it weren't for Konan’s reminder, Jellal wouldn't even know that there was an extra person here.

"Miss Konan, good morning."

Aizen Sosuke ignored Jellal, whose expression was changing wildly, but smiled and greeted Konan, who was standing not far away, saying, "It’s been a while since we met, right?"

"There’s no need to say any more small talk."

"What is your purpose for appearing here this time?"

Looking at Aizen Sosuke with a smile on his face, Konan’s face was a bit gloomy, and she said, "Looking at you like this, are you prepared to go to all-out war with our Akatsuki organization?"

As she spoke, Konan’s body began to continuously differentiate into one explosive tag after another inscribed with explosive spells.

"Miss Konan, you have misunderstood."

"I am not yet prepared to go to all-out war with your Akatsuki organization."

Aizen Sosuke looked at Konan, who was ready to make a move at any time, and waved his hand quickly, saying, "I think Miss Konan’s purpose for coming here this time should be to invite this gentleman to join the Akatsuki organization."

"My purpose happens not to conflict with Miss Konan’s."

"After Etherion falls, I want these magic crystals filled with Etherion."

While speaking, Aizen Sosuke looked at the Tower of Heaven under his feet as if no one else was there.

Lin Cheng’s puppets have energy bars. Once the energy bar is exhausted, they cannot continue to act.

Every night at twelve o'clock, the energy bars of all Lin Cheng’s puppets automatically recover by 50%. Apart from this, Lin Cheng has no other means to replenish the energy bars.

To replenish the puppet’s energy bar, high-energy units are needed.

In this Tower of Heaven chapter, Lin Cheng also wants to see if magic crystals filled with Etherion can replenish the puppet’s energy bar, so that Lin Cheng can put aside many worries.

For example, just now Konan and Jellal fought for a while, and it consumed nearly 10% of the energy.

And before, when Ace was still at A-rank one-star, blocking the Magic Convergence Cannon Jupiter directly consumed nearly 30% of the energy bar.

With Etherion magic crystals that can replenish energy at any time, the combat endurance of Konan and other puppets can be greatly improved.

"Interesting, really, it’s truly too interesting."

"It seems that I have been treated as a soft persimmon."

Looking at Aizen Sosuke, who was acting as if no one else was there, a few blue veins began to appear on Jellal’s forehead.

Whether it was Konan before or Aizen Sosuke now, this appearance of acting as if no one else was there was challenging Jellal’s patience again and again.

Jellal is a person who became a Ten Wizard Saint just by relying on a thought-form with less than half of his strength.

Although there is no absolute hard requirement for the Ten Wizard Saints, all along, every Ten Wizard Saint has possessed terrifying power far exceeding conventional S-rank mages.

The Ten Wizard Saints have also always been used as one of the standards for the magic world to judge whether a faction is powerful.

Just like the previous Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail.

The reason why Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail were known to everyone, and the two sides going to all-out war almost attracted the attention of the entire country or even the world, isn't it because both have a guild master who is a Ten Wizard Saint sitting in town?

"A soft persimmon?"

"Such a description might be a bit impolite."

Aizen Sosuke looked at Jellal, who stood up with blue veins popping, and the smiling expression on his face remained unchanged, saying, "But it is a very accurate adjective."

"I still like the R-System built by Mr. Jellal very much."

"So..."

"Shut up, ant!"

Before Aizen Sosuke could continue, Jellal roared at Aizen Sosuke.

A huge magic power that would even make people feel suffocated began to boil in Jellal’s body, and above the Tower of Heaven, the sky that had brightened because of the arrival of the day became dark again.

Although the magic power in his body only had 50% of his peak period, Jellal still possessed the terrifying power of a Ten Wizard Saint at this moment.

"Oh? Ant?"

"That’s really an overestimating address."

Looking at Jellal, whose expression was a bit ferocious, Aizen Sosuke slowly opened his eyes that were originally narrowed because of the smile.

Aizen Sosuke’s face, which was originally full of smiles, became a bit cold after the smile disappeared.

Konan watched the two people who were suddenly deadlocked from the side and didn't say anything. No matter which side it was, it was not something the current Konan could contend with.

Through the puppet perspective, looking at Jellal’s distorted expression, Lin Cheng thought Jellal was going to make a move.

However, Jellal stopped instead, and a figure exactly the same as Jellal suddenly appeared beside Jellal.

This is Jellal, a member of the Magic Council.

"Hum!"

Almost the moment Jellal appeared, the wind and clouds changed over the Tower of Heaven.

A huge golden magic circle appeared in the sky above the Tower of Heaven.

Bang!

At this time, Erza, Natsu, and Lucy also rushed up.

Because of Aizen Sosuke’s move, all the miscellaneous people on the entire Tower of Heaven had fallen asleep.

And the purpose of leaving Erza and the others was naturally to let Erza and the others witness Aizen Sosuke’s strength.

There will be follow-up interactive plots later, so it is definitely no problem to have a little contact and understanding now.

Erza and the others finally rushed up, and before they had time to say anything, their attention was attracted by the scene in the sky outside the Tower of Heaven.

"What is that?!"

"Erza, look, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky!"

Natsu looked at the golden magic circle in the sky and shouted.

Because of his narrow knowledge, Natsu had no idea what this huge golden magic circle symbolized.

"How is it possible?"

"Why did the Magic Council launch Etherion?!"

Erza looked at the huge magic circle in the sky, and the expression on her face was a bit desperate.

It wasn't just Erza alone; after seeing the golden magic circle in the sky, the expressions of Lucy and Gray all changed, becoming extremely ugly.

As a deterrent weapon of the Magic Council, Etherion had almost helped the Magic Council awe the entire continent for nearly a hundred years. Except for a very small number of idiots like Natsu.

Almost no one would not know the horror of Etherion!

"Jellal?!"

"You really are in cahoots with Jellal!"

Erza soon discovered Jellal standing beside Jellal and said, "Why are you doing this? What good does it do you to guide the Magic Council to use Etherion?!"

At this time, Jellal, as a member of the Magic Council, appeared here, and what it symbolized naturally goes without saying.

Erza figured out many things all of a sudden.

From the beginning, Jellal, Jellal’s twin brother, was in cahoots with Jellal.

"Erza, you came just in time."

"Soon, my plan will be completed."

After Jellal heard Erza’s questioning, he smiled lightly and walked slowly toward the direction where Jellal was, saying, "However, there is one point, Erza, you might have misunderstood."

"From the beginning, Jellal and I are the same person."

As the voice fell, Jellal completely overlapped with Jellal.

The magic circle in the sky did not stop condensing because of the conversation between Erza and Jellal.

Around the huge golden magic circle, one smaller magic circle after another began to condense.

The magic power that was terrifying to the extreme was constantly condensing. Just the pressure naturally emitted by that terrifying magic power made everyone present have difficulty breathing.

"Dong!"

Like a death knell announcing the end of everything at dusk.

The huge golden magic circle in the sky began to operate, and what followed was a beam of light that shone so brightly that only golden light remained in people’s sight, descending from the sky.

This absolutely shining golden beam of light was like a judgment from the gods, as if to purify all the darkness in the world.

In the headquarters spaceship of Grimoire Heart.

After making a mess of the Magic Council headquarters, Ultear teleported to her own headquarters through a pre-set ultra-long-distance teleportation magic circle.

"Master Hades."

"The plan is going very smoothly."

Ultear knelt half-way in front of Hades and said respectfully, "If there are no accidents, the R-System on the Tower of Heaven should have been successfully activated and absorbed all the Etherion."

From beginning to end, the person guiding Jellal behind the scenes was actually not Ultear, but Hades.

The reason why Ultear appeared on the Tower of Heaven controlled by the Black Magic Cult eight years ago was to follow Hades’ orders; Jellal was just an accidental harvest during the period.

Ultear felt that Jellal was worth using, so she brainwashed Jellal.

"Has it finally been activated successfully?"

"Since that’s the case, let’s go over and take a look according to the original plan."

After hearing Ultear’s report, Hades looked out the window with some distraction, as if recalling something.

However, Hades’ distraction was only an extremely short moment. He quickly came back to his senses, not even letting Ultear, who was kneeling on the ground, discover anything, and said, "Let’s see the effect of the R-System."

"Are the spatial coordinates positioned?"

"Master Hades, they are positioned."

Ultear looked at Hades and answered earnestly, "After the Etherion attack ends, we can teleport over at any time."

"As for now, we might still need to wait for a while."

"Etherion might affect the positioning of spatial coordinates."

"En."

"Then let’s wait a little longer."

Hades nodded slightly, closed his eyes randomly, and didn't say anything more.

Ultear bowed respectfully to Hades, who had closed his eyes, and retreated carefully.

Although there is 'Grimoire Heart' to ensure Hades’ health, longevity, and strength, Hades is old after all.
