Honestly, I think living is better than dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you ever heard the saying, 'A bad life is better than a good death'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George paused for a moment, then reverted to his cat form and blinked as he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand Zeref's feelings and was even willing to grant his death—after extracting all of his magical knowledge, of course. That would be one less problem to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, George held no personal feelings toward Zeref. He was only interested in the magic inside his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn't the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he might not even be able to do it. The curse placed by the God of Life and Death in this world wasn't something that could be broken easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Acnologia, who could nullify any magic, couldn't cancel out the curse on Zeref and kill him to give him release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did George know this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't hard to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref longed for death and couldn't defeat Acnologia. If Acnologia could kill him, Zeref would have challenged him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since that never happened, it meant even Acnologia couldn't end Zeref's life—though he could defeat and torment him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second—and most importantly—even if George could do it, he wouldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref was punished for violating taboos. If George lifted the curse, he'd essentially be defying the god Ankhseram himself. That wouldn't end well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless George's power reached a point where he no longer feared Ankhseram—or unless there was a reward worth the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mavis was able to die because she was killed by Zeref, who bore the same curse. Naturally, that didn't break any divine rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand my pain, or how I feel. Kill me—or I will become your enemy. I'll continue my plan to invade the Eastern Continent and obtain Fairy Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are strong—perhaps even as strong as Acnologia—but if I choose to leave, you can't stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref shook his head and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George was powerful, but not strong enough to kill him. He couldn't win a fight, but he could still escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn't die, then he'd return to Plan B—fusing with Fairy Heart and rewriting history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zeref, if you truly want it, I can do it. I really can. I'm not lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Mavis flew over and grabbed Zeref's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know why I died back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because your love for me was greater than mine for you. That's why the curse on you was stronger and ended up killing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if my love for you surpasses yours, then in theory, my curse will kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was because of my love...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref looked at Mavis, dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you're already dead. You're just a soul—you can't trigger the curse anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, my body isn't completely dead. If I choose to, I can return to it and live again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mavis's gaze was firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So please, stop your plans. End the war. I'll help you find peace and bring you release.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If what you say is true, then I... ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Mavis before him, Zeref's heartstrings trembled once more. The sealed-off love in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and the curse inside him erupted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of death energy burst out of Zeref's body, attempting to devour all life nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the curse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the deadly energy surging forth, George instantly transformed into his dragon form, shielding everyone behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy eroded his massive body, stripping away part of his life force before gradually dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sensation... it's quite similar to the Curse of Death—unavoidable and impossible to defend against.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After withstanding the curse, George returned to his cat form, silently contemplating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wave just now had been directed at Mavis because of Zeref's love for her, so George only suffered the backlash. Its power wasn't at full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most S-Class wizards wouldn't have survived it, but with George's physical body, it wasn't a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. I agree. If you can truly bring me release, the Alvarez Empire will never wage war again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref once again sealed off his emotions and, after a moment of silence, finally nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, George spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think this method could work—but not yet. I have a suggestion. Hear me out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What suggestion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mavis turned to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George coughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like this—according to your logic, the deeper the love, the stronger the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you two haven't seen each other in over a hundred years. Starting now, how can you be sure the love is deep enough to trigger the curse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the love isn't strong enough, and it can't kill the other, then it's pointless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing George's words, both Zeref and Mavis were stunned. How could one measure the depth of love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what I'm saying is—you two should spend some time living together again. Once your hearts are certain, then you can proceed with the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You've already waited this long—what's a few more years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mavis is currently in soul form, so she's not in danger from your curse, and you don't need to suppress your emotions anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, you should also discuss this with your biological child. Don't you agree, August?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George turned his head toward the Magic King, who had regained some strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reasons George gave were all valid—but he had another, more important reason for delaying Zeref and Mavis's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref and Mavis were among the top-tier mages in the world—true magical geniuses with deep understanding and mastery of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acnologia might be overwhelmingly powerful, but in terms of magical theory and application, he was no match for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George didn't want these two to die so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he copied Zeref's memories, they were still just that—memories. To truly learn and master the magic within them, he'd need to study and research them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if, in addition to copying memories, he could talk to Zeref and Mavis, and exchange insights... that would be far more valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in doing so, the Spriggan Twelve would effectively become allies. Not just sources of knowledge, but future magical collaborators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, given his rate of growth, George might one day be able to rival Ankhseram himself—and lift both of their curses, removing the need for them to die at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeref and Mavis looked toward August, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George spoke directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"August is your child. Back then, the second guild master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly explained the truth he had uncovered from August's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mavis looked at August with eyes full of expectation and affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"George... is what he said true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is, Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>August looked at Mavis and smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When George had first manifested Mavis, he'd wanted to call her \"Mother\" right then—but had held back until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind Mavis, Zeref froze when he heard the word—and the curse exploded once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-10T06:47:12.819Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b395e8d4a93bab731f29971c2e966542da5133d8f6d80a03ed4f786e0f4987d","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-483","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-481",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
