Chapter 38

"What is the situation now?"

"Wow! The ground has become very beautiful crystals!"

Natsu looked at the ground under his feet and shouted.

At this time, the R-System of the Tower of Heaven had completely absorbed all the Etherion just now, the R-System had been officially activated, and next, it only needed to offer the sacrifice to resurrect the dead.

"What is the situation?"

"Why..."

Compared to Natsu’s one-track mind, Erza, looking at the greatly changed environment around her, had a shocked and uncertain expression on her face.

Erza was very clear about the terrifying power of Etherion. After suffering a terrifying blow from Etherion, it was impossible for nothing to happen here, and it was even impossible for everyone present to survive.

However, looking at the current appearance, it was obvious that some special situation had occurred.

Erza looked at the surrounding building materials that had directly turned into magic crystals with a heavy expression, and then cast her shocked and uncertain gaze on her childhood sweetheart, Jellal.

Although she didn't know exactly what happened, Erza instinctively felt that all this was in Jellal’s plan.

And looking at the current appearance, Jellal’s plan had obviously achieved very thorough success.

Before Erza could continue to think, a slightly indifferent voice not far away attracted the attention of Erza and several people around.

"It’s really nice, it’s a high-purity magic crystal."

"If it’s such a big piece, I guess it will be enough to use for a long time."

Aizen Sosuke squatted down, fumbled with the ground that had turned into magic crystals, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Ah!"

"You are that gentleman from the casino earlier!"

Lucy also noticed Aizen Sosuke at this time.

Looking at Aizen Sosuke, who was squatting on the ground fumbling with the magic crystals, she covered her mouth and was a bit surprised.

She didn't expect to meet Aizen Sosuke here.

However, while meeting Aizen Sosuke, the expression on Lucy’s face became a bit vigilant. After all, the place where they were now was not a good place, but an enemy camp.

Maybe Aizen Sosuke was from the enemy camp.

"We actually met again."

Aizen Sosuke looked at Lucy, who was standing beside him watching him, and said with a smile, "It seems that a meal is unavoidable."

"Don't treat me to that kind of too cheap meal."

"It’s definitely no problem to treat you to a meal."

"However, why did you appear in..."

A hesitant expression appeared on Lucy’s face.

However, before Lucy could finish her words, the Tower of Heaven side had another huge change.

I saw that the R-System, which had absorbed all the Etherion and turned into magic crystals, returned to its original appearance in the next instant, as if everything that had happened since just now was just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water.

For a time, everyone present, including Jellal on the side, became a bit confused looking at the scene in front of them.

In fact, the moment Aizen Sosuke touched the magic crystal, Lin Cheng received a system prompt.

[Ding! High-concentration energy block detected, can be recycled!]

'Oh?'

'Can it be recycled directly and put into the system backpack?'

At this moment, Lin Cheng, who was leisurely drinking tea in the small tavern, was stunned for a moment after receiving the system prompt, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

Without any hesitation, Lin Cheng chose to recycle directly.

Following Lin Cheng’s choice, a huge energy block appeared directly in Lin Cheng’s system backpack, similar in volume to the Tower of Heaven.

And an energy block about the size of a fist could replenish 100% of an A-rank puppet’s energy bar, and an S-rank puppet could also replenish 30%.

Of course, this is just an approximate value. For example, Uzumaki Nagato’s energy bar might be longer than many S-rank puppets, or even much longer. It would be very good if one energy block could replenish 20% or even 10%.

However, no matter what, such a large energy block is enough for Lin Cheng to use for a long time.

For a long time in the future, Lin Cheng does not need to consider the problem of insufficient puppet energy bars and insufficient action power.

The things that followed were what happened just now.

Because Lin Cheng took away all the Etherion absorbed by the Tower of Heaven R-System, the R-System naturally returned to its original appearance.

The things that Jellal worked hard to be a spy and undercover in the Magic Council for so many years were directly taken away by Lin Cheng.

"Bastard!"

"It’s you guy who made the ghost, right?!"

Jellal, who came back to his senses, although he didn't know what happened, could still feel that his plan might fail.

Looking at Aizen Sosuke, who had an understated expression on his face, the anger in Jellal’s heart could no longer be suppressed.

At this moment, Jellal’s strength had already returned to its peak state.

That magic power, which almost reached the top four levels of the Ten Wizard Saints, began to boil and burn crazily.

In front of the furious Jellal, the space seemed to be distorted, making a creaking sound as if it couldn't bear the burden, as if it would shatter in the next instant.

The clear sky became dark, the originally calm sea by the seaside also became no longer calm, and the entire island began to shake vaguely.

It is conceivable to what extent Jellal’s anger had reached at this time.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Looking at Jellal, who was furious to the extreme, the expression on Aizen Sosuke’s face still didn't change, and he said, "My purpose for coming here is for this thing."

"Heavenly Body Magic: Meteor!"

Jellal could no longer hold back and used his most proficient magic.

Heavenly Body Magic: Meteor, the effect is to accelerate the user’s speed, allowing the user to have a speed like a meteor.

The maximum speed can indeed reach a terrifying speed.

However, the speed of the meteor is equal to the user’s overall physical fitness.

Currently, Jellal’s body can at most withstand the speed of sound, and at most cannot exceed 1.5 times the speed of sound.

However, even the speed of sound is terrifying enough.

In the next instant, in the horrified eyes of everyone, he turned directly into a terrifying streamer and rushed toward the location of Aizen Sosuke, blooming with a terrifying brilliance that made people tremble.

Whether it was Erza, Lucy, or Gray, or even Natsu, whose brain was almost paste, at this moment, they could all clearly feel a shadow between life and death sweeping through their bodies after Jellal’s full-force eruption.

It made the hair all over their bodies stand on end.

In front of such great terror between life and death, even Natsu was shocked to the point of being stiff.

After all, this time Natsu’s companions were not injured, and Natsu’s reason was not washed away by infinite anger because of his companions being injured or even dying.

"Is, is this Jellal’s strength?"

Erza looked at Jellal, who swept past her in an instant, and the pupils in her eyes contracted sharply.

After learning that Jellal was only Jellal’s thought-form, Erza could feel that Jellal’s strength was very terrifying. After all, just relying on the thought-form’s strength, which was less than half of his peak period, he could rank ninth among the Ten Wizard Saints.

However, at this moment, after truly experiencing the terrifying power of Jellal’s full-force eruption, Erza still couldn't stop trembling, that kind of death aura that rushed toward her face instantly.

That feeling of wanting to withdraw or raise her hand to block, but being unable to do so, was simply too desperate.

Clearly, both mentally and visually, she had reacted, but her body could not move at all.

"Break through the sound barrier in an instant?"

"Your speed is really very good."

Aizen Sosuke’s expression did not change at all because of Jellal’s eruption.

Even, Aizen Sosuke’s figure did not move at all, just a stroke of his right hand in the void, and an equally strong spiritual energy formed a layer of spiritual energy shield on the back of Aizen Sosuke’s hand.

Way of Binding #8, Repulse.

Using a spiritual energy shield on the back of the hand can block the opponent’s physical attacks.

Under normal circumstances, if you use Kido or Way of Binding without chanting, the effect of Kido and Way of Binding will be greatly reduced, but Aizen Sosuke is a genius rarely seen in Soul Society for a thousand years.

Even without chanting, Kido and Way of Binding below number 89 can be instantly cast without reducing power.

Bang!

Aizen Sosuke’s palm and Jellal’s arm collided.
