Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 498 The Succession of the Empire (Please Subscribe!)

After Moen released the "Crystal Cage", Erin Belserion no longer hid and directly revealed her true form.

A giant dragon, a dragon with a relatively conventional appearance like Ignir, a dragon that fits the stereotype, and even has red skin.

Moen was certain that the author of "Fairy Tail" had never been a dragon and had been drawing whatever he thought was right.

Are those "Iron Dragons" really dragons? Only creatures like Igniel are true dragons!

Moen touched Eileen Belserion's dragon body, and in an instant, he analyzed the structure of this "wise dragon" and completely controlled every inch of its flesh.

Moen began the process, starting the physical adjustments. He sculpted the body exactly as Erin Belserion remembered it, and the whole process went smoothly. The reshaping was completed quickly, and the "Wise Dragon" had completely transformed into human form.

"I...I actually turned back?!"

Looking at her body and her hands, Erin Belserion was overwhelmed with emotion. She knew this was not an illusion, but a real physical transformation. She had finally returned to human form in her physical body, instead of relying solely on illusions to maintain it.

"Turning back into a human isn't quite it; you're actually a humanoid dragon right now."

Moen shook his head. Although Eileen Belserion now appears as a human, this body still possesses the power of a dragon, only it is condensed within this body.

"That's amazing?!"

This surprised Erin Belserion even more. It wasn't that she rejected the power of dragons. How could a mage who had developed "Dragon Slayer Magic" possibly reject the power of dragons? She simply didn't want to become like that.

Therefore, being able to possess the power of a dragon while reverting to human form is definitely good news for Erin Belserion.

"I'm satisfied."

Moen smiled. It was the first time he had done something like this, and it made him realize once again how powerful he was.

Moen is capable of doing a lot of things now, but he won't do most of them, or even think about them much.

Moen did not want to become a strange creature where "god" was greater than "man," so "maintaining reverence" was very important. It was not about being afraid of anyone, but about maintaining reverence for "life," "laws," and "natural laws," so that he could still be a "human being."

In this respect, Moen and Irene Belserion pursue the same goal, except that Irene Belserion is trying to change her appearance back to human form, while Moen wants to keep his soul in human form.

"I'm sorry, Erza, I'm a bad mother..."

""

Looking at Erza, Erin Belserion sincerely apologized to her.

"No...it's alright, I understand your difficulties."

'

Erza shook her head. She had always been a very empathetic person, and the things Moen told her about Erin Belserion made her completely understand her mother.

"Wasn't abandoning me also a way to protect me?"

Erza smiled and comforted the sorrowful Erin Belserion.

"That being said, there were better methods at the time..."

Erin Bercelion still felt uncomfortable, but after letting go of her obsession, her mental problems were alleviated.

"There's nothing I can do about it; you were pretty crazy back then."

Moen chimed in with a smile, offering some words of comfort to Eileen Bercelion as well.

Moen made Irene Belserion recall more of the emotions she felt when she lost Erza—the conflicted emotions, the reluctance to let go. This was why Irene Belserion was so distressed; it was as if she had just thrown Erza away.

"Buzz!"

Moen's figure disappeared. He didn't stay any longer to disturb the mother and daughter's conversation. Eileen Belserion, who had become human, could rest assured. This was the only knot in her heart.

As for being betrayed by humans, she had long since come to terms with that, which is why she supports Zeref.

In her view, the brutal suppression and rule of the "Alvarez Empire" over the entire "Western Continent" was absolutely correct; those who lacked the ability to make correct judgments had to be severely suppressed!

The current Erin Belserion will not harm humans indiscriminately, but she will use the cruelest methods to kill those who break the rules and laws.

This kind of thinking doesn't really mean that they did anything wrong. As a member of the "Alvarez Empire," suppressing the rebellion was their duty. Apart from that, they didn't do anything excessive, except for owing their daughter a lot.

Moen's figure returned to Fairy Tail, leaving the time he spent with the mother and son and the mother and daughter.

"What... just happened?"

At the bar, Mirajane curiously leaned over and asked Moen.

"It's nothing, I've brought Mavis's son and Erza's mother."

Moen answered casually.

"What?!"

However, Mirajane screamed upon hearing the news, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the guild.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Everyone crowded around, asking questions all at once. Something that could surprise Mirajane so much must be something big.

"Where did you find him? Chairman Mavis actually has a son?!"

Mirajane ignored the others who were shouting and stared wide-eyed, asking Moen with great curiosity.

It's not surprising that Erza has a mother, but the fact that Mavis has a son makes people curious.

I've never heard of it! Where did it come from?! Whose is it?! Does Jelf know about it?!

It's no wonder Mirajane was incredibly curious; after all, it was Mavis, her lover, and Jelf—it was hard not to be intrigued.

"He is Zeref's child, a posthumous child, separated from him by Chairman Precht, but then abandoned by him."

Moen smiled and explained, recounting August's story to satisfy Mirajane's curiosity.

This isn't exactly a secret that can't be told. After all, the cause and effect of this matter are complicated, and it's hard to say who is largely to blame, except for "Ankhseram's Curse," which is the culprit.

"So... pitiful."

Sure enough, Mirajane immediately gave her assessment after hearing the story. Although her family had also had a tough childhood, it was certainly not as bad as August's. This guy... is so pitiful.

The most tragic character in this story is August, who served his father diligently for seventy or eighty years, yet was never even glanced at by his father. This is far more tragic than Kana's situation...

Everyone from "Fairy Tail" was filled with emotion.

Not long after, Mavis and August, who had just been the subject of much discussion, returned. It was clear that the two had talked a lot, and both had red eyes and looked like they had been crying.

Everyone immediately rushed forward to comfort and congratulate them. It was a good thing that Mavis and August were reunited, and everyone was very enthusiastic towards August.

Regardless of whether it's out of sympathy or out of consideration for Mavis, no one will reject August, after all, he is the first chairman's biological son!

August was deeply moved. He was a man who could discern true feelings, so he was naturally able to perceive the sincerity of everyone in Fairy Tail and feel their welcome towards him.

It wasn't because of his strength or status that people fawned over him; it was simply because he was Mebius's son, he was Augustus.

"August, Jerf is dead. The Alvarez Empire is now leaderless. What are your thoughts?"

After everyone offered their enthusiastic welcome, Moen stopped August and began discussing the "Alvarez Empire" with him.

That empire cannot be left unattended. If the "Alvarez Empire" were to collapse directly, the entire "Western Continent" would surely be plunged into bloodshed.

There is no doubt about this. After all, even with such a huge empire suppressing it, the "Western Continent" is still in chaos. If the "Alvarez Empire" were to collapse, the "Western Continent" would definitely be thrown into a battle royale frenzy.

It's one thing that there was no unification before, but there was already an "Alvarez Empire" that existed. Which of those other ambitious people didn't want to be emperor? Who would be willing to just be a small king?

This is the difference between the "Western Continent" and the "Ishgar Continent." This side has been mired in a long-term division, lacking a unified genetic makeup, and everyone lives their own lives.

Only a small number of ambitious individuals frequently wage war against other countries, but they cannot stir up any waves on the entire continent of Ishgar.

"You're right. If the empire collapses, the Western Continent will likely be devastated."

August spoke to Moen with respect.

"You don't need to do that, you're my elder."

Moen smiled and said that in terms of seniority, August was of the same generation as Grandpa Makarov in the Fairy Tail guild. They were both children of one of the guild's founders, so August could indeed be considered an elder.

"I don't deserve such praise. I still want to thank Chairman Moen for his help, for his help to my father and mother, and for his help to me."

Augustus remained respectful, bringing up Moen's status as guild master with the same respect due to the guild master of Fairy Tail.

Moen had nothing to say then, so he let it go. At least it proved that August was a very principled person.

"In my opinion, it would be better if you were to inherit the throne of the Alvarez Empire."

Moen looked at August and offered his suggestion.

He thought the suggestion was excellent; in terms of lineage and ability, Augustus was undoubtedly the rightful successor.

He is both Jelf's biological son and the "CEO" who has managed the "Alvarez Empire" for so many years.

"Me? Me?"

August was somewhat surprised. He really hadn't expected it. He was still a little intimidated by Moen, after all, he really couldn't see through Moen, so he couldn't understand Moen's intentions at all.

"I agree."

Before Augustus could say anything more, Erin Belserion, who had returned with Erza, directly expressed her opinion.

Irene Bercelion's opinion is certainly important, after all, she is one of the "Alvarez Twins" alongside Auguste.

Even Irene Belserion supports Auguste, so other members of the "Alvares Empire" will have to think twice if they have any objections. If they want to oppose it, they will be going against the strongest men and women of the "Alvares Empire".

"Ms. Eileen..."

'

August looked troubled. He had never really thought about becoming emperor, after all, he had never imagined that his father, Jelf, would die.

"What's wrong with that? If you can't let go of that country, then just go for it. We'll all support you."

Mavis smiled and replied, of course she supported Auguste. After all, the "Alvarez Empire" was established by her lover, so if her son wanted to inherit it, wasn't that only natural?

"Okay... alright, I'll give it a try, at least to stabilize the situation first."

Faced with everyone's support, Auguste finally stopped being coy.

Augustus himself certainly didn't want to see the "Western Continent" devastated. It wasn't that he necessarily wanted to inherit his father's legacy. Rather than saying that the "Alvarez Empire" was his father Jelf's life's work, it would be more accurate to say that this country was his life's work.

It has always been these people who have been managing the empire. The title "The Twin Walls of Alvarez" is not just for show. Auguste and Irene Belserion, one a civil official and the other a military leader, have been maintaining the operation of the entire empire.

Therefore, Irene Bercelion did not want to see the collapse of the "Alvarez Empire." She did not want to see any more betrayal and killing, and once chaos came, these things would inevitably happen again.

Will it go smoothly?

Moen smiled at the two of them. Although August and Erin Belserion were known as the "Alvarez Twins," it did not mean that they could have absolute authority within the "Twelve Aegis of the Holy Land." There were still people who were at odds with them.

"No problem, Chairman Moen. My father has passed away, so some guys... have no right to talk nonsense to me anymore."

August paused for a moment, then spoke confidently. He also had people he had long disliked, and if those guys dared to step forward, he would not show them any mercy.

"Although the two of us can't beat you, dealing with those guys is a piece of cake."

Erin Belserion also spoke up.

They were completely overwhelmed by Moen, but they had a significant advantage against the other members of the Twelve Shields. Their years as the "Twin Walls" had not been for nothing.

Moreover, among the "Twelve Shields of the Holy Land," they each had their own supporters; they were not fighting alone.

"Alright, then I won't worry. If you need help, Fairy Tail can send some people to assist you."

Moen smiled and nodded; he had no doubt about the two men's abilities.
