Chapter 93

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

Boom!

At this moment, Erza, along with Natsu and Lucy and the others, also rushed up.

Because of Aizen Sousuke's actions, all the idle bystanders across the entire Tower of Heaven had already fallen completely asleep.

And the purpose of leaving Erza and the others behind was naturally to let Erza and the others witness Aizen Sousuke's strength.

There will be follow-up interactive plot later; getting a little contact and understanding now is certainly no problem.

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

"What is that?!"

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

Natsu stared at the golden magic circle in the sky and immediately started making a great fuss.

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

"How could it be?"

"Why has the Magic Pingyi Society deployed the Magical Spirit Power?!"

Erza looked at the enormous magic circle in the sky, and an expression of despair crept over her face.

It wasn't just Erza alone; after seeing that golden magic circle in the sky, Lucy and Gray's faces all changed as well, becoming extremely ugly.

As the Magic Pingyi Society's deterrent weapon, the Magical Spirit Power had helped the Magic Pingyi Society awe the entire continent for nearly a hundred years, except for a very few blockheads like Natsu.

Almost no one would be unaware of the horror of the Magical Spirit Power!

"Zeref?!"

"You really are in league with Jellal!"

Erza quickly spotted Zeref standing beside Jellal and said, "Why would you do this? What benefit do you get from guiding the Magic Pingyi Society to use the Magical Spirit Power?!"

At this moment, Zeref, who was a member of the Magic Pingyi Society's council, appearing here — what that symbolized naturally went without saying.

Many things suddenly became clear to Erza all at once.

From the very beginning, Zeref, Jellal's twin brother, had been in league with Jellal.

"Erza, you've come at just the right time."

"Very soon, my plan will be complete."

Upon hearing Erza's accusation, Zeref simply smiled lightly, slowly walked toward where Jellal was, and said, "However, there's one point, Erza, you may have gotten wrong."

"From the very beginning, I and Jellal have been the same person."

As his words fell, Zeref directly and completely overlapped with Jellal into one.

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

Around the enormous golden magic circle, one after another slightly smaller magic circles began to condense.

Magic power terrifying to the extreme kept condensing; merely the pressure naturally radiating from that terrifying magic power made breathing difficult for everyone present.

"Dong!"

Like the death-knell tolling at dusk, announcing the end of everything.

The enormous golden magic circle in the sky began to operate, and what followed was a pillar of light so dazzling that only golden radiance remained in one's line of sight, descending from the sky.

This absolutely dazzling golden pillar of light was as if it came from a god's judgment, about to purify all the darkness in the world.

Inside the Demon Heart headquarters' airship.

After wreaking havoc at the Magic Council's headquarters, Ultear had used a pre-set ultra-long-range teleportation magic circle to return to her own headquarters.

"Lord Hades."

"The plan is proceeding very smoothly."

Ultear half-knelt before Hades and said respectfully, "If nothing unexpected happens, the R System on the Tower of Heaven should have successfully activated and absorbed all of the Magical Spirit Power."

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

The reason Ultear had appeared on the Tower of Heaven, controlled by the Heimoshu Sect, eight years ago was because she was following Hades's orders; Jellal was merely an unexpected gain along the way.

Ultear thought Jellal was worth using, so she brainwashed Jellal.

"It finally started up successfully?"

"In that case, let's go take a look according to the original plan."

Upon hearing Ultear's report, Hades's gaze looking out the window grew somewhat absent, as if recalling something.

But Hades's absent-mindedness lasted only an extremely brief instant; he quickly came back to his senses, without even letting the half-kneeling Ultear on the ground notice anything, and said, "Let's see the R System's effect."

"Are the spatial coordinates locked in?"

"Lord Hades, they're locked in."

Ultear looked at Hades and answered seriously, "Once the Magical Spirit Power's attack ends, we can teleport over at any time."

"Right now, we may still need to wait a little while."

"The Magical Spirit Power may affect the locking of the spatial coordinates."

"Mm."

"Then let's wait a little longer."

Hades nodded slightly, then casually closed his eyes and said nothing more.

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

Although 'Demon Heart' guaranteed Hades's health, longevity, and power, Hades was, after all, old.
