Chapter 90
【PS: Lalalala, on my knees begging all you esteemed readers of Guandada Sect for your votes and flowers!】
"That's right."
"That Ace from the Whitebeard Pirates — everyone saw his attitude that day, it was truly outrageous."
"We already gave him a way out, yet he kept on spouting nonsense."
The councilor elder who had previously played the bad cop, Mikero, spoke up at this moment, his face full of indignation as he said: "When did our Magic Pingyi Society ever become something that a person like that could ride all over?"
"I also second Zikrein's proposal — to deploy the Magical Spirit Power against the Tower of Heaven."
"To show the entire world the unmatched might of our Magic Pingyi Society!"
By the time he finished speaking, Mikero's old face had become flushed red.
It was obvious that the matter of Ace slapping the Magic Pingyi Society's face the day before yesterday had stuck in Mikero's craw.
This time there was a chance to flex their muscles for the whole world to see, to let the entire world once again experience the terrifying foundation of the Magic Pingyi Society. As a current councilor of the Magic Pingyi Society, Mikero was naturally a hundred times willing, ten thousand times willing.
Zikrein, Ultear, Mikero.
The meeting had only just begun, yet three people had already cast approval votes.
In the original work, at the Magic Pingyi Society headquarters, during the first vote, there were nine councilors in total — four cast approval votes, five cast opposition votes.
But because of the incident of Ace slapping the Magic Pingyi Society's face some time ago, this reversed the mentality of everyone from the Chairman Crawford down to the various councilors; to varying degrees, some imbalance had appeared, along with a certain uncharacteristic viciousness.
The final result came out very quickly.
Even though there was the councilor Yajima, who was on good terms with Makarov, constantly trying to persuade them, and other possible solutions to the problem, the final vote was six to three.
A total of six councilors cast approval votes — fifty percent more than the four in the original work.
The use of the Magical Spirit Power would no longer face any obstruction.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"It seems Miss Konan's prophecy has failed."
At the top of the Tower of Heaven, Jellal, who had been sitting quietly, immediately burst into loud laughter.
The matter going smoothly exceeded Jellal's expectations. Originally, Jellal had thought that getting the councilors in the Magic Pingyi Society to cast approval votes for him would require quite a bit of persuasion.
He hadn't expected that, just at the start, in the very first round of voting, including himself and Ultear, six councilors had already cast approval votes on whether to use the Magical Spirit Power against the Tower of Heaven.
"Oh?"
'The Magic Pingyi Society has agreed to use the Magical Spirit Power?'
'The approval came much earlier than I imagined.'
Lin Cheng, watching Jellal laughing heartily through Konan puppet's perspective, glanced at the clock in the tavern, somewhat surprised.
Lin Cheng was certain his memory had no problems.
In the original work, although the Magic Pingyi Society passed the proposal on whether to use the Magical Spirit Power against the Tower of Heaven, that was only after several rounds of discussion.
By the time the Magical Spirit Power was actually deployed, it was already very late.
But now it had only just reached morning.
"It will probably still take a little while."
"Miss Konan will probably get to see an unprecedented fireworks show."
Jellal did not answer directly.
But looking at Jellal's expression, Lin Cheng had basically confirmed that a butterfly effect must have occurred on the Magic Pingyi Society's side.
'Could it be because Ace slapped their faces swollen the day before yesterday?'
'So they're impatient to pass the legitimate use of the Magical Spirit Power to show their strength?'
Lin Cheng speculated casually.
After all, if there was really anything that affected the Magic Pingyi Society's decision, then undoubtedly it was the matter of Ace slapping the Magic Pingyi Society's face the day before yesterday.
The entire Magic Pingyi Society, facing Ace who had repelled Ultear, didn't dare utter a single word.
It wounded the fragile self-esteem of the Magic Pingyi Society's Chairman and all the councilors.
However, with this, Lin Cheng's side also needed to adapt flexibly — he couldn't just sit around waiting like a salted fish.
To activate the Magical Spirit Power, a short charging time was needed. It wouldn't be too long, so Lin Cheng's side also had to act, helping Natsu and the others speed up the progress of pushing through the Tower of Heaven dungeon.
Originally, Lin Cheng's puppet on this side was prepared to make its appearance last as the finale.
Now, since time was tight, it could only appear a little earlier.
Konan, looking at Jellal whose face was wearing a smile, had just been about to say something, when her expression suddenly changed drastically. She then abruptly fixed her gaze on a certain empty, deserted corner.
Her originally calm expression instantly became solemn and serious.
"Mr. Jellal, don't celebrate so early."
Staring at what appeared to be an empty corner, Konan said seriously: "An unexpected person has come."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Konan's words, Jellal frowned slightly.
But seeing Konan's expression that had suddenly become somewhat solemn, he ultimately followed her gaze. What entered Jellal's sight was a man with a gentle smile on his face.
Arranged by Lin Cheng to appear early — Aizen Sousuke.
