Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

He removed the eye patch from his right eye, revealing a perfectly good eye.

So you're not blind in this eye... Hope's curiosity was piqued. Aside from Natsu, no one in the world would pretend to be a one-eyed monster for no reason.

So what's so special about that eye that Hades has to hide it all the time?

"Release... the Devil's Eye!"

Hades opened his right eye, and the eye socket was instantly filled with crimson. A vast darkness was released from it, and the magical fluctuations emanating from it alone made Makarov, who was watching the battle not far away, unable to move.

How terrifying is this power!

Makarov's expression turned solemn. Was this his teacher's true strength? He was even stronger than Gildarts.

While some were burdened, others were relaxed. Looking at Hope, who seemed completely unaffected as she looked him up and down, Hades, having unleashed all his magic, finally couldn't help but speak:

"Don't you feel any pressure at all?"

"Should...should there be?" Hope scratched his head.

Hades' lips curled down, his hands hovering above and below his chest as a massive amount of magic surged forth. "You ignorant brat, I'll let you die under my absolute power!"

"That gesture... 'Fairy Law'?!"

Seeing the familiar starting stance, Makarov exclaimed in shock, "You're actually using the first generation's super magic against us! Do you intend to kill everyone on the island?!"

"Wrong."

Hades smiled coldly, "This isn't the 'Law of the Fairies,' but the 'Law of the Demons,' which has no side effects and is far more powerful!"

"Whether they are enemies who stand in my way, useless subordinates, or treacherous allies, they will all die under my astonishing magic!"

Hades's dark orbs of light suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing the entire Sirius Island.

Along with it appeared a holy radiance that stood in opposition to darkness, emanating from Hope's hand... "Fairy Law"!

Two spells, one black and one white, collided silently.

Two forces with completely opposite attributes spiraled and intertwined, but instead of a spectacular magical explosion like before, they transformed into a black and white magical torrent that shot into the sky and eventually dissipated into nothingness.

"Demon Law" is simply the complete version of "Fairy Law" without any side effects; the only difference is the magical attribute.

If Hope hadn't used the "Ancient Scripture" to complete his guild's "Fairy Law," he might have lost the duel just now.

The two spells, essentially the same, collided and ultimately canceled each other out. Simply put, they were taught by the same master, so they couldn't break each other's moves.

Hades clearly hadn't anticipated this outcome, but he immediately understood that in the years since he left Fairy Tail, the guild had completed the "law" that Mavis hadn't finished.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for using his trump card.

"Prepare to dance with the devil!"

Hades made a strange spellcasting gesture with both hands, and his magic surged wildly. "Inner Magic - Heaven's Executioner - Divine Punishment!"

Dark magic, also known as black magic.

It is the signature move of the dark mage Zeref.

Hades used the same magic that Zeref used to create demons; with enough magic power, one can create demons from any substance.

In an instant, the sand and stones trembled, the sea surged, the wind howled incessantly, and the chill was biting... A viscous and heavy magic pressed down on the battlefield like a mountain.

Hope looked disappointed. "Your final move is just a minor skill of a dark mage. You've disappointed me greatly, Hades."

"Since that's the case... I'll show you what true power is."

Hope moved, bursting forth with a speed that defied the laws of physics. The lunar rock beneath her feet shattered radially as she threw an unstoppable punch at Hades.

Wherever the fist struck, space distorted, as if an invisible giant whale had opened its gaping maw like a black hole, ready to devour everything in its path. There was no technique whatsoever, just pure, savage power and sheer numbers!

"Magnetic field rotation! Ten thousand horsepower of power!"

"Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist!"

Chapter 241 Heart

Hades' pupils contracted sharply.

Even before the fist reached him, the terrifying pressure made his bones creak all over.

He instinctively wanted to open a barrier of darkness, but found that his ability to mobilize magic had become unusually slow... No, it wasn't that he had slowed down, but that the other party was too fast.

Hades, who had been immersed in the demonic path for decades, was unable to react with his body or magic, and could only watch helplessly as the devastating power pressed down on him.

He finally understood the terrible despair Brunot had faced in the Tower of Paradise.

"This...is..."

Before the words were even uttered, the fist had already landed.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There was only a soft sound, like thick cloth being torn apart.

The layers of dark magic surrounding Hades, along with his nascent demonic form that had just begun to materialize, vanished without a trace, like plankton swallowed whole by an invisible giant whale.

Behind him, the sea surface presented a huge, perfectly regular fan-shaped vacuum zone.

Then... centered on Tianlang Island, the sea surface within a radius of several kilometers suddenly sank, causing Tianlang Island to tremble violently as if it were an earthquake.

Hades, at the center and bearing all the force... exploded. His upper body was physically crushed by these absurd numerical values.

Hope slowly withdrew his fist, and the chilling invisible force field around him gradually subsided. If he hadn't been worried about affecting Sirius Island and hadn't intentionally controlled his power, there wouldn't be this half-corpse left behind.

Looking at Hades's remains, now only half-body, Makarov opened his mouth, but no sound came out; his heart was filled with indescribable complex emotions.

But he knew that the kind old man Precito who had entrusted the guild to him forty-eight years ago was long gone.

The one who died was Hades, the guild master of "Demon Heart".

Hope said nothing. Given Makarov's state of mind, he didn't need any explanation. Just as he was about to head to the final battlefield, a powerful magical force suddenly erupted behind him.

Hades, whose upper body had been blown apart, was rapidly regenerating the parts of his body that he had lost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a dozen or so breaths, the powerful old man returned.

Before he could even grieve, Makarov was immediately stunned by this unbelievable scene. How could someone who had been beaten like that survive? His mind was completely blank.

Hope's "cell remodeling" first restored Gildarts's limbs.

Later, he witnessed Hades's body being restored.

The world eventually became something he couldn't understand.

Hades's muscular physique, which was beyond his years, was fully restored. The spiderweb-like magical patterns on his body gradually faded away, but the "demon eye" in his right eye remained crimson.

"Is this the power that transcends magic?"

Hades, who had come back from the dead, continued his words before he was destroyed, looking at Hope with a look of inquiry in his eyes, "It's truly astonishing, but unfortunately... you can't kill me who has an immortal body."

This piqued Hope's interest, and she immediately thought of the "contradictory curse" in Mavis's body.

In his quest to revive Mavis, Precht delved into the legendary curse from the gods and combined it with his resurrection magic, thus creating the 'Fairy Heart'.

Could this old guy have contracted the "Contradiction Curse" during his research and become immortal?

As if seeing through Hope's thoughts, Hades sneered, "So you really knew that Makarov had plans to have you succeed him, so why would he hide the existence of the 'Fairy Heart' from you?"

Hope wanted to mention that Gildarts also knew, but worried that Makarov would jump up and kick him in the knee, so he looked at Hades and asked, "So your 'immortality' comes from the 'Contradictory Curse'?"

"Incorrect answer."

Hades unleashed a barrage of black bullets, and after his body recovered, his magic showed no signs of weakening, and his body was full of vitality.

Hope raised his hand and clenched it, and the dense magical bullets were firmly locked in mid-air by the magnetic force, and were all destroyed with a snap of his fingers.

“I understand. You weren’t infected with the curse, but instead made a replica of the ‘Fairy Heart’—the ‘Demon Heart’.”

The biggest secret was thus exposed. Hades' eyes widened, and he couldn't even maintain his composure. "How did you know?!"

Hope chuckled and said, "Of course you told me yourself that 'Magnetic Field Power' can read the thoughts of people whose power is lower than mine anytime, anywhere."

The Magnetic Force can be called a "hexagonal warrior" because, aside from its ability to manipulate time, its other abilities are incredibly diverse. Real-time mind reading is one of its most basic abilities, though Hope rarely uses it.

He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on his companions' thoughts, and he could sometimes crush his enemies with just magic. He didn't care what his enemies were thinking at all.

Hades snapped out of his reverie and became even more interested in the 'magnetic power'.

Hope was also interested in him.

After being away from Fairy Tail for so many years, Hades painstakingly created a replica of Fairy Heart called Devil Heart.

The Fairy Heart possesses the same boundless life force and magic as the Demon Heart, but in a much weaker form.

Even in its weakened state, it was enough for Hades, who was over 110 years old, to maintain his strength and have a strong and healthy body.

The body that was previously destroyed by Hope's punch was restored by the massive amount of life force transmitted by the 'Demon Heart'.

Even the knock-offs are this impressive.

Then the genuine product would be flying off the ground!

Hope was even tempted to try out the 'Fairy Heart' deep underground in the guild, but the thought of the body of an underage girl immediately extinguished her desire.

“Boy, the ‘Demon Heart’ is on my ship. You have no chance of destroying it,” Hades said in a deep voice. “Let’s make peace and join me in searching for the magic of the origin and opening up the Great Magic World.”

Hope looked at Hades, who was actually trying to persuade her, with disdain. Had he lost his mind?

"Reconciliation? At this very moment?"

"Don't tease me, I hope you laugh."

Hope stepped forward. Hades' confidence stemmed from the massive amount of life force and magic power provided by the 'Demon Heart,' making him feel invincible.

"Let me test the limits of the 'Demon Heart' and see if this knock-off really has far greater boundless energy."

The moment Hope uttered those words, Hades understood what he intended to do to him—to use him as a test subject. For example… to kill him a dozen times first, to see just how much support the 'Demon Heart' could provide.

Thinking of this, Hades couldn't help but shudder.

Hearing the old man's thoughts, Hope curled her lip. Did she really seem like a serial killer? Sure enough, people with dirty minds would only project their own thoughts onto others.

However, what he's about to do is indeed a bit bloody.

With a flash, before Hades could react, Hope's magnetic field hand chop had already struck down.

The death force of the Hell Path erupted.
