Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The wooden clone dissipated, and the fireworks, under Hyuga Hoshino's control, formed a line of words.

Goodbye, Laxus.

Makarov gestured the number eight with his left hand, pointing his index finger to the sky.

This is a gesture representing Fairy Tail that Makarov and Laxus agreed upon when Laxus was a child.

The other guild members made the same gesture, and Laxus smiled, gestured, and left.

Lucy walked out of Hyuga Hoshino's house with a smile and headed to the guild, where she noticed a dark figure sneaking around the guild.

Lucy, holding the Celestial Key, cautiously followed. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the shadowy figure was her father, Jude.

"Father?"

"Lucy, it's been so long, I..."

Suddenly, Jiude ran off in one direction, and Lucy followed without a second thought.

"Lucy, run!"

Jiude ran to a secluded alley and suddenly looked at Lucy with a ferocious expression.

Lucy realized she was being controlled by someone, looked around, and made her most instinctive reaction.

"Lord of the Zhou Tian Stars, you are the soul of the stars and the ruler of the constellations."

With boundless power, you steer the stars and create miracles for the world.

May the stars, under your guidance, shine with the light of life.

"Summon, Star Lord."

Hinata Hoshino's phantom appeared. "Lucy, it's not far from here. Shout out, and I guarantee I'll hear you."

"Order!"

"Order me, my foot!"

Hinata Hoshino's phantom grabs Ryougetsu Ten, who is trying to launch a sneak attack, and Ryougetsu Ten activates her waist drum mode.

"A demon, is it?"

The slap falls!

"An order, is that it?"

A slap landed.

"A sneak attack, huh?"

A slap landed.

"I'm tired of hitting you, Lucy, would you like to give me a couple of lashes?"

"No need, just enjoy smoking."

"untie!"

Hinata Hoshino pointed to Kutoku's brow, and Ryougetsu Ten's curse was broken.

"You rude scoundrel! You just wait! I..."

"Annoying!"

Hinata Hoshino slaps Ryougetsu Ten unconscious, Lucy and Kudo embrace and weep; family ties are not so easily severed.

"Hoshino, what are you going to do with her?"

"Maybe we can let her go pick cotton with Lalabai, so that we can openly whip them."

"That's a bit much."

“You don’t understand. You can’t talk about chivalry in a situation like this. You have a good talk with your father. I’m leaving.”

"Father, what's wrong?"

“Lucy, after you left that day, that devil took control of me and sold all my possessions. It seems her goal was to buy something.”

Then, she discovered you were my daughter and knew that person from earlier, so she wanted to control me, then lure you out, and then control you to get something.

"Father, thank you."

"Lucy..."

"I know you must be struggling. This is my last savings. Live well."

Goodbye, Lucy. I hope you live a happy life.

"System, copy."

[Congratulations, host. You have obtained 4 units of Liangyuetian Demonic Curse Power. Spell: Command. Fusion required.]

"Fusion."

Hinata Hoshino looked at the cursed power wrapped around her fingertips. It was a different kind of magic, the same in essence, but different in form, and it was not affected by the external environment.

Simply put, if you possess magical power, you can use it even in places like Edolas where magic is almost nonexistent, although the recovery speed is relatively slow.

Through in-depth research into the power of incantations, Hyuga Hoshino discovered its secrets: negative emotions were mixed with a portion of the power of faith.

So that's how it is. Absorbing negative emotions and transforming them into one's own power, the power of faith stabilizes one's physical form.

Everyone has a different perspective. One person may think a certain god looks like this, while another person may think a certain god looks like this. So, does a god truly have countless faces, or is what one person sees simply what that person imagines in their mind?

No, they are not naturally born gods. Influenced by the world in which they were born, they have a fixed appearance from birth.

The image of God is created according to the thoughts of the majority of believers. If most believers think she is beautiful, then she is beautiful, and vice versa.

Hinata Hoshino stroked her chin and said to Ryougetsu Ten, "We can't really let her pick cotton, there isn't that much cotton."

It wouldn't do to just not play the waist drum, even though he's a demon. What if he just spews out random gas? Hinata Hoshino raised his hand to check, deciding it was better to be safe.

Thus, the news that Hinata Hoshino had captured and sold a second demon spread once again.

Maldo slammed his fist on the armrest in anger. What happened? Another one broke. What's wrong with these demons?

"Keith, send that human over there and take back Liangyuetian and Lalabai!"

Silver Fullbuster, also known as Absolute Zero Silver, is one of the Nine Gates of Tartaros, a dead being controlled by Keith. He is Gray's father.

Yin looked up at the vibrant town before him and thought of his previous town, where he once had a happy family.

"You stinky bastard, take this!"

"Hehe, slanted eyes, a big block of ice, look what this is?"

"Grey, the clothes!"

Gray? Gin noticed something and looked towards Fairy Tail across from Hinata Hoshino's shop. He immediately recognized it as his son, Gray.

It turns out he's been doing well all these years, so he can rest assured.

Turning his head, Gin looked at Hinata Hoshino's shop, "Say hello, Ice Demon's Passion!"

Silver spat out purple, icy energy like a hurricane, directly attacking Hyuga Hoshino's shop.

Chapter 283 Filial Piety Between Father and Son, Gray and Silver

The Kunlun Mirror hanging above the shop absorbed the purple energy and retaliated against Yin. Yin opened his mouth and swallowed the energy, but the next moment he suffered from severe abdominal pain.

"How is that possible? There's an incomprehensible power at play, pfft."

Whatever you eat, you spit out; the energy is redirected to attack the Fairy Tail guild.

"The roar of the Ice God!"

Gray was the first to sense that energy; the coldness carried the aura of a demon. He instinctively thought of Deliora and stood in front of the guild, unleashing the Ice Godslayer magic.

Yin clutched her lower abdomen; the pain hadn't stopped, that incomprehensible force was still there, and she hadn't vomited it out.

As expected, Gray's breath overwhelmed Silver's. Silver endured the pain and shouted, "Ice Demon Arrow!"

Ice arrows rained down, all perishing along with Gray's breath.

"Who are you? Why do you exude a demonic aura?"

Although he really wanted to say, "I'm your father," Yin still spoke in a businesslike manner, "I am one of the Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld, who came to bring back Liang Yuetian and Lalabai. Absolute Zero Yin."

Silver? Gray noticed the same thing and carefully examined Silver's face. Gray found that the other person's face was somewhat similar to his own, but his father had died under Deliora's attack, so the person in front of him could not be him.

"Hoshino is a member of the guild. Are you trying to make an enemy of Fairy Tail by doing this?"

Lucy's words made Silver even more satisfied with Fairy Tail. What a great guild, he was so lucky.

"Heh, no matter what you say, my goal won't change!"

"Ice Demon Slayer Technique, interesting. Are you here to steal something?"

"Good, if you know what's good for you, hand over the stuff obediently."

Gin looked Hinata Hoshino up and down, but couldn't sense any trace of magic. He must be weak, so there was no need to worry about him.

"Grey, do you think I'm strong?"

"Strong, beyond description."

"But this Gintoki seems to think I'm no match for him. Come, Gintoki, let me see your demon-slaying magic."

"as you wish."

Yin gave a sinister smile. "Freeze instantly."

Seeing the silver being instantly covered in ice, he was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be very strong? Why did it turn out like this?

Hinata Hoshino emerged from behind the ice block and rested his head on it. "You should wear glasses, young man. You can't tell the difference between the real person and the illusion anymore. Oh, it's rather chilly."

"A young man? Interesting! The Ice Demon's blade."

Yin clasped his hands together, releasing several sharp ice blades.

"Water Pit - Frost Arrow"

Hinata Hoshino lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, and the Feng Hou Qi Men formation was completed. The Kan position technique was instantly activated, and the same number of ice arrows collided with the ice blades.

"Bang bang bang, crack crack."
