Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

"So, do you accept it?"

Upon hearing Laxus's words, Ron couldn't think of a reason to refuse him.

This guy has changed somewhat compared to before; at least his words show his determination, and his actions demonstrate his efforts.

Ron smiled and nodded, then slowly said:

"Since you've put it that way, how could I possibly refuse? However..."

Changing the subject, he explained earnestly:

"Not now. I still have a lot of things to do right now. Let's find a good day to have a one-on-one match after everything is settled."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Laxus finally smiled slightly, revealing an expectant look in his eyes.

It's a deal.

The agreement between the two of them was made with Gray and the others as witnesses.

Laxus then returned to his residence, while the others went back to the guild hall.

Ron parted ways with them here and eventually returned to his own home.

When no one was around, he brought up the system to check his current performance level.

[Current performance level: 100%]

Popularity: 9375

He's currently transforming into Pikachu and playing around in front of them, and with the added stage presence, his performance is already 100% convincing.

As for the popularity value that is about to reach 10,000, after today's performances, it can be used to draw from the Phantom God gacha pool first thing tomorrow morning.

Ron saw Pikachu and began to calculate in advance, then chose to incorporate the third ability, [Electric Resistance (B)], into the panel.

Ron smiled with satisfaction when he saw that he had two resistances in his talents.

Alright, now I have both ice and lightning resistance.

He hoped for more of these kinds of abilities; if he could accumulate and stack resistance to the same attribute, he would become less and less afraid of magic in the future.

He can also collect resistance to other attributes, which will make him a true nemesis of mages.

Moreover, this lightning resistance comes at just the right time and will be quite effective when fighting against Laxus.

If you're going to play a Pokémon just for these abilities, then go ahead and play one.

However, he then looked down and thought about it. There are currently eighteen types of Pokémon. How long would it take him to collect them all?

Well, I'm not finished with work today yet, I need to go pick up my tasks.

Ron went home to wash up and then went out again.

......

The next morning, as Ron had hoped, his popularity score had exceeded 10,000, and he could finally use it to draw an S-rank Phantom God card.

However, he still had to follow his previous habit of using up his daily card-drawing opportunities before using popularity points to draw cards.

Seeing that the countdown to draw cards on the card pool interface had ended, he used his opportunity on the permanent Multiverse Card Pool.

He thought he would get a fairly ordinary character card again, but to his surprise, at the crucial moment of the card-drawing screen, a burst of golden light appeared, which cheered Ron up.

The golden light dissipated, and a character card with the letter S written on the back slowly appeared in front of Ron.

He took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.

Wow, this is another big win!

Card Name: Rubick

[World: Dota]

[Character Ability Level: S-Rank]

[Ability 1: Magic Insight (D)]

[Effect: Instantly gain knowledge of mana flow patterns and spellcasting formulas, forming the basis for stealing magic.]

[Ability 2: Spatial Magic - Telekinesis (C)]

[Effect: Forcibly grabs the target object into the air using magic, and then throws it in the designated direction.]

[Ability 3: Lightning Magic - Weakening Energy Flow (B)]

[Effect: Unleashes a bolt of lightning that bounces between multiple nearby targets, dealing lightning damage while reducing the targets' magic damage and physical attack power.]

[Ability 4: Arcane Supreme (A)]

[Effect: Permanently increases the power of all your spells and extends the duration of all negative status effects you cast.]

[Ability 5: Copying Magic - Magic Theft (S)]

[Effect: When the target casts a spell, you can instantly see through its magical structure, perfectly copy any spell the target has cast, and use it briefly. The duration of the spell's effect depends on your mental strength; the stronger your mental strength, the longer it will last.]

Ron looked at the description on Rubick and showed a surprised expression.

Now that I have copying magic, can I become a little magic king?

However, this S-rank copying magic with ability level 5 still seems inferior to that of Magic King Augustus.

It seems this powerful S-rank ability card will be added to the Phantom God card pool after I play it.

Since that's the case, we'll just use popularity points for gacha pulls here, so that if there are too many people in the God of War gacha pool, the gacha pull chances won't be evenly distributed.

smoke!

With a thought, the popularity value on the system panel, which was originally in the five digits, was reduced to three digits after being consumed by Ron.

The Phantom God card pool then flashed with golden light, even more dazzling than before.

After that, the character card reappeared in Ron's mind.

[Dota - Silencer]

Ron's eyes lit up. The timing of his appearance was perfect. Was he here to find his accomplices?

Now, the only thing the Silent Warlock hasn't obtained yet is the fourth ability, the Blade of Wisdom.

[Ability 4: Silence Magic - Blade of Wisdom (A)]

[Effect: Infuse your own spiritual power and magic power into the weapon. The stronger your own magic power and spiritual power, the higher the damage of your basic attack.]

Now he can finally use up all his abilities and leave an empty slot in the Phantom God card pool.

He was thinking about how to best play these two character cards when he glanced at the available characters in the Phantom God card pool and looked puzzled.

His confusion stemmed from the fact that the Silent Warlock was still in the God of War card pool.

怎麼回事？

He then lightly clicked on the Silencer's character introduction, and suddenly a new notification popped up in front of him, which was particularly eye-catching.

[The Silent Warlock from the God-tier card pool has been drawn five times, achieving the hidden achievement!]

[This officially unlocks the character's ultimate ability, allowing you to draw this character again to obtain that ability.]

Upon seeing this, Ron's eyes widened, and he smiled with surprise.

And there's more surprise!

Chapter 135 The Urutia Project Completed

He quickly checked the Silent Warlock's abilities in the Phantom God card pool, and then scanned the newly appeared sixth ability.

Ultimate Ability: Omni-domain Silence (SS)

[Effect: Instantly expands magical energy into a silent domain centered on the user. All targets within the domain will be unable to cast any spells. The range of the domain is determined by the user's mental strength; the stronger the mental strength, the larger the silent domain.]

Seeing this outrageous effect, Ron's breath caught in his throat for a moment, utterly shocked.

Wow, so there are SS-level abilities? Is the key to the Phantom God's potential hidden here?

No wonder he felt that these character cards in the Phantom God card pool were still lacking some abilities; he didn't expect there to be a hidden sixth ultimate ability.

He couldn't help but swallow hard. Now that he had the ability to steal magic and the ability to silence all areas, if he really developed himself, he would one day become the nemesis of all mages.

Of course, since it is SS-rank, its magic consumption will obviously be more than that of S-rank magic.

"No, this gives me the motivation to take on the monster-eliminating quest again."

Ron looked expectant and quickly pushed open the door, ready to go to the guild to accept a quest.

It seems that before becoming the nemesis of magicians, I will first have the title of the nemesis of monsters.

……

The days of peaceful development always fly by, and before they knew it, it was the beginning of X776.

High in the skies above the continent of Ishgar, a massive airship was traversing through thick clouds.

Inside the flagship, Hades, the devil incarnate, sat on his throne, eyes closed, quietly contemplating his plans.

Just then, the hall doors were pushed open, and there stood Urutia.

Her face still had a cold expression, but as time went by, the immaturity on her face had faded considerably, and she had gained a more mature air about her.

"President Hades, what is the matter that you summoned me here today?"

She approached Hades respectfully, lowering her eyes as she inquired.

Upon hearing Urudia's call, Hades, seated on his throne, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a serious expression.

"Urudia, I have a task for you."

President Hades continued:

"You have another nominee as a candidate for judge, right? I recently contacted the person in charge of the Oración Seis, and he seems very interested in this spot."

You've worked with those people from the Oración Seis before, so you should know who I'm talking about as the person in charge.

Upon hearing the keywords, a ripple stirred deep within Urutia's heart, but she maintained a cold expression, feigning ignorance as she continued to ask:

"Is that you, Bryant, the guild master of the Oración Seis?"

Hades nodded and continued:

"That's right, it's Brian from the Oración Seis, but whether he's the guild master is debatable."

Let's get down to business first. That guy Brian, who used to be the director of the Magical Development Bureau, left some information in the Council before he left.

He wants to use the quota you have to plant his own informant in the council, hoping to cooperate with us again.

“I understand, President Hades.”

Urudia bowed his head and asked respectfully:

"Then, Chairman, how would you like me to negotiate with him?"

Hades casually replied:

"I can now communicate with him through the crystal ball, so let's discuss this together..."

"President, this might not be convenient."

Urtia interrupted President Hades' suggestion, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

Before Hades could ask, Urudia raised her head and volunteered:

"Guild Master, since this concerns the quotas for the Magic Council and the interests of our guild, I think that discussing this matter in such a way would take a lot of time and make it difficult to know Brian's true purpose."

Or perhaps I should go see him in person and discuss this with him face to face?

Hades looked puzzled upon hearing Urudia's suggestion.

"Discuss it face-to-face?"

"That's right."

Urudia's eyes turned serious, and he smiled coldly as he said:

"As long as we show that we are respectful, we will not necessarily feel respected."

This way, we can not only make him pay a higher price, but also use this opportunity to uncover his hidden plans within the council. Perhaps we can get involved in the future.

President Hades lowered his head, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, as if carefully weighing the pros and cons.
