Although Jellal had come back to his senses, he did not resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza watched Jellal disappear with Nagato Uzumaki and Konan, her mouth slightly open, wanting to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in the clouds in the sky not far from the Tower of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades stood at the front of the deck of the magic airship, watching Nagato Uzumaki and Konan take Jellal away through the different dimension, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, \"There is no point in staying any longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did we fall short of success?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Hades' words, Ultear smiled and said, \"Lord Hades, do you need to do it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was just a tentative thing to begin with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Ultear's words, Hades said indifferently, \"Focus on finding Zeref's tracks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Hades didn't wait for Ultear beside him to say anything and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref had never died, and the R-System could only resurrect the deceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, once the R-System was truly activated, who would be resurrected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer, I'm afraid, no one would ever know. But if there were no accidents, the target of resurrection would definitely not be Zeref; it would most likely be the person Hades cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, was the person Hades cared about really dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking quietly in the cabin, a light that had never been seen before flickered in Hades' eyes. From start to finish, Hades had never intervened in the battle on the Tower of Heaven below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Hades seems to be in a very bad mood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultear smiled slightly at Hades' back, finally took a look at the Tower of Heaven below, and also didn't say anything, returning to the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the magic airship belonging to Grimoire Heart slowly left the range of the Tower of Heaven without almost anyone knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the magic airship left, Sosuke Aizen took a thoughtful look at the direction the magic airship had left in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, Sosuke Aizen had actually discovered Grimoire Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all are wizards from the Fairy Tail guild, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen looked at Erza and the others present and smiled, \"What do you plan to do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this Miss Lucy, you promised to treat me to a meal next time we met, you can't go back on your word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Sosuke Aizen, and I am a Soul Reaper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Sosuke Aizen gave Erza, Lucy, and the others a standard smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, are you a Soul Reaper?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds like it's very powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Erza and Lucy could say anything, Natsu immediately leaned over with an excited face and said impatiently, \"Let's have a fight and see who is stronger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Natsu wanted to make a move on Sosuke Aizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he had already witnessed Sosuke Aizen's terror just now, but Natsu just wouldn't learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, Natsu was just this kind of personality; when he saw someone very powerful, he couldn't help but want to go up and compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next instant, Natsu was decisively punched to the ground by Erza and passed out directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one thing to mess around with his own people, but messing around with someone like Sosuke Aizen, whom they hadn't even met a few times, was too suicidal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Sosuke Aizen, don't take Natsu this guy too seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually, Natsu always has this kind of rash personality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Erza punched Natsu to the ground, she looked at Sosuke Aizen and showed an extremely ladylike smile, \"By the way, Mr. Sosuke Aizen, you said you are a Soul Reaper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know why, but a slightly mean face appeared in Erza's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the president of the dark wizard guild Eisenwald, Erigor, whose strength had reached the level of an S-rank wizard. Because he often took on assassination-series mission requests and had a high success rate, he had the title of \"Soul Reaper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made Erza suffer quite a bit before, so Erza had some memory of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Launch Announcement】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book was published on January 22nd, and now it is February 7th. It has finally reached the time to be launched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be launched at 12:00 tonight. At that time, I will kneel and beg for the subscription support of all the readers~.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, I'm probably not quite the same kind of Soul Reaper that Miss Erza understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strictly speaking, I should be a deceased person. I've probably been dead for hundreds of years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen looked at Erza and naturally felt some of Erza's strange thoughts, so he chuckled and said, \"I still remember some of the memories before I died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember that at that time, it was still an era ruled by the Dragon race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was probably killed by a dragon whose name I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen pretended to be trying hard to recall his memories before death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the character setting, Sosuke Aizen was someone who had died hundreds of years ago, and for the sake of explosiveness, in Lin Cheng's script setting, Sosuke Aizen's year of death had to be at least four hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Sosuke Aizen's voice fell, Natsu, who had been lying on the ground after being beaten by Erza, gave a start, stood up excitedly, and hugged Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You died hundreds of years ago, and before you died, it was the era ruled by that Dragon race?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu hugged Sosuke Aizen and asked with some anticipation, \"Do you know a fire dragon named Igneel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Igneel is my old man. I was raised by Igneel since I was a child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since leaving the Fire Dragon King Igneel seven years ago, Natsu had been constantly searching for his foster father, Igneel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, if it weren't for the Tartaros arc, I'm afraid Natsu would never know in his life that the foster father he had been searching for, the Fire Dragon King Igneel, had been inside his body all along, watching his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is a great pity that in the original work, not long after the Fire Dragon King Igneel and Natsu recognized each other, he was killed by the Black Dragon Acnologia, which is quite a regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Igneel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Igneel is actually your old man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen looked at Natsu, who was hugging him, and said with some 'surprise', \"Igneel is not a simple dragon. That is the Dragon King among the Dragon race, and it can be said that he stands at the pinnacle of the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, it is a pity that the Dragon race was exterminated four hundred years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly, Lin Cheng threw a deep-water bomb through Sosuke Aizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of some special characteristics four hundred years ago, in the history of the Fairy Tail world, the history of four hundred years ago had a gap, and the vast majority of people simply didn't know what had happened four hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing they could understand was the three words \"Dragon King Festival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand these things; Lin Cheng can slowly throw out all the secrets of four hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, right now, Lin Cheng was quietly revealing some small information to Erza and the others, and then Lin Cheng had arranged in advance that the cannon-fodder puppets working at the newspaper office would publish these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the story is real enough and shocking enough, are you afraid of not having emotional value income?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that there is an upper limit to the emotional value that each person can contribute every day, Lin Cheng could just throw out all the secret little stories, and there wouldn't be any problems or issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dragon race was exterminated four hundred years ago?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven years ago, before Igneel disappeared, I was living with Igneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Sosuke Aizen's words, Natsu said in disbelief, \"Igneel is very strong, how could he be exterminated? You must have gotten something wrong, Sosuke Aizen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was seven years ago, the memory of living with his foster father Igneel was still one of Natsu's most precious memories. At the same time, Natsu also knew how powerful his foster father, the Fire Dragon King Igneel, was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength Sosuke Aizen had just erupted with was indeed very terrifying and powerful, but Natsu still felt that compared to his foster father, the Fire Dragon King Igneel, it might still be quite a bit worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Natsu's feeling was actually not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without awakening the Hogyoku Sage Mode, in terms of direct destructive power, the Fire Dragon King Igneel was indeed much stronger than the current S-rank one-star Sosuke Aizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is true that the Dragon race was exterminated, but that doesn't mean there are no survivors...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have heard a little bit about the prestige of the Fire Dragon King Igneel even when I was in Rukongai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen looked at Natsu, who had a slightly excited expression, his smile unchanged, and said, \"With the strength of the Fire Dragon King Igneel, it is not impossible for him to have survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Mr. Natsu, the smell on you is a bit strange...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Sosuke Aizen seemed to have smelled some strange smell from Natsu, and with a strange expression on his face, he leaned toward Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sosuke Aizen, who had leaned toward him, Natsu said somewhat strangely, \"I took a bath when I was at the vacation paradise before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I fought with others before, and my body was covered with a lot of mud...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Mr. Natsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sosuke Aizen seemed to have confirmed something. He looked at Natsu, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some hesitation, \"What I smell on you is not this kind of ordinary smell, but the smell of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1804,"2026-06-16T12:13:33.210Z","2026-06-16T12:23:18.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","16820b1640aa323e9c64a9b844bda43735a25a73f20bb5557f53ed54ceed6c54","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-42","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-40",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
