Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"Hey..."

Hope looked up at the sky guiltily, "I only accidentally damaged a small part of Sirius Island, and didn't I restore it with magic?"

"What do you mean by accident? Tenrou Island is the sacred land of Fairy Tail, where many small animals live."

Mavis stood with her hands on her hips, eye level with Hope, trying to project the authority of a president, but unfortunately, her youthful face greatly diminished the effect.

"However... I heard your conversation with Zeref just now."

Hope raised an eyebrow. "So?"

“So…” Mavis stopped in front of him, a serious look on her small face, “‘The Curse of Contradiction’…you really have the ability to kill Zeref?”

"I can do that later, but my strength isn't enough right now."

Hope turned to look at the setting sun gradually turning the sea red in the distance. "But in at most a year, I will be able to break the immortality of that curse and let Zeref die in peace."

Mavis nodded in satisfaction. "Young people these days are really amazing. That was a legendary dark mage, and he was defeated by you."

Hope, however, sensed a strange emotion in Mavis's words. "Original, you seem quite concerned about Zeref? Do you two know each other?"

"Hmm, a long time ago..."

Mavis's gaze was distant, as if she were lost in memories. "Back then, the four of us hadn't formed a guild yet, and we were frowning and worried about how to retrieve the Sirius Jade from the Blue Skull. Then, I met him."

“Zeref taught us magic and some magical theories, which is how we defeated the Blue Skull.”

Hope was genuinely surprised.

Judging from Mavis's words, the four founders of Fairy Tail all received guidance from Zeref before becoming powerful. Isn't that practically being a disciple?

The guild's founder was a legendary black mage...

No wonder everyone in the guild is a battle maniac, and there are even a few violent vandals. Fairy Tail is definitely the most righteous and evil guild in the dark world.

Thinking of the Dark Guild, Hope suddenly felt a chill.

Hades, the guild master of "Devil Heart," is actually one of the founders of Fairy Tail and the second guild master, Precht.

The actual controller of "Tarren's Gate" is Hades, while the nominal chairman is the strongest END. Although it is just a banner to recruit demons, Natsu can be considered to be officially recognized.

Apart from the weakest of the three major dark guilds, "Oracles of Demons," the other two are related to Fairy Tail... It wouldn't be wrong to call them Fairy Tail branches.

Doesn't that mean... our guild is the strongest dark guild?

Hope took a deep breath. In the past, the council always criticized Fairy Tail, and he thought it was just a bunch of old fogies making trouble for no reason. Now it seemed perfectly reasonable.

It was a lucky accident.

"First Generation, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Hehe, it's a good thing that young people are eager to learn and ask questions, go ahead and ask." Mavis's eyes lit up; she could finally put on the airs of an elder.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. May I ask how you died?"

Hope's eyes sharpened, and he continued, word by word, "I've seen your body. Like Zeref, you were burdened with the 'Curse of Contradiction.' Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything on this continent that could kill you."

The excitement on Mebbes's face froze instantly, followed by a silent silence.

Although she didn't get an answer, just by looking at her reaction, Hope had a guess in her mind: "The person who killed you... was Zeref, wasn't it?"

His tone was so assertive that it was as if he had already confirmed the truth.

After a long silence, Mavis sighed and finally spoke: "How did you come up with that?"

“It’s not difficult. An old man with a goatee once said that only magic can fight magic.” Hope smiled. “So I thought that the death power of a curse might also be able to harm each other.”

Mavis did not deny it. "You're right. Jelf and I do intend to trigger the curse at the same time, so that we can kill each other."

"You've seen the final result."

She pointed to her spirit form, which didn't exist in reality, and said with a bitter smile, "I died, and Zeref lived, but he will suffer even greater pain..."

Hope didn't care about Jelf's condition and continued to press, "The 'Curse of Contradiction' requires love to erupt. I'm curious what you were 'loving' in your minds back then?"

Upon hearing this, Mavis blushed.

"Actually, what we did that day could also be called a double suicide..."

Hope: "......."

-

-

That's how it is.

“Zeref is not only the patriarch of our guild, but he also fell in love with our first guild master, Mavis, despite his aging appearance. In the end, he even 'loves' the first master to death because of his deep love.”

Inside the Sirius Island camp, after Hope embellished the story and revealed this plot that was enough to garner attention at the prime-time 8:30 PM slot, everyone fell silent.

Chapter 254 The Prisoner of Capricorn

Hope's words were like a depth charge, creating a huge uproar among the Fairy Tail members.

"puff--"

Makarov spat out the wine he had just drunk, spraying it all over Gildarts's face.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about apologizing. He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, "What did you say?! The First Generation and Zeref were... were in that kind of relationship?! And they even committed suicide together?!"

"Chairman, calm down!" Mirajane quickly supported the swaying Makarov, fearing that the nearly ninety-year-old third-generation chairman would faint on the spot.

Makarov was physically fine, but the psychological impact was something he was having trouble accepting.

Teacher-student relationships, May-December romances, love stories that transcend life and death...

Playing so elaborately... is this the true value of the older generation?

Feeling the intense, gossipy gazes of everyone, Mavis was so embarrassed that her entire spirit body was turning slightly red, and she was so awkward that she wished she could just dig a hole and crawl into it.

Even though she's a ghost now, ghosts still have their pride.

"Hope! You're being too blunt!" She floated behind Hope and punched his back with her little fists, but because she was a spirit, the punches all passed through her.

“But I’m telling the truth, the original.”

Hope shrugged, looking completely innocent, and dealt with Mavis as if she were a child.

The others in the camp were still processing this shocking news, their expressions varied: shock, bewilderment, disbelief... and a hint of excitement.

Young people are much more receptive to new things. For them, hearing such an exciting love story is worth it even if they die!

Compared to the fact that the first guild master and the dark mage were lovers, another piece of news that has everyone very concerned is that Fairy Tail has connections with both the black and white factions.

Gray opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "Isn't our guild a little too complicated?"

Erza nodded seriously: "Indeed, if word gets out about our relationship with Zeref, the council will probably label us as the origin of the Dark Guild."

"Huh?! Will we be wanted?" Lucy's cowardly nature kicked in, and she looked worried.

"Don't worry, with Hope around, the entire orthodox guild in Ishgar combined wouldn't be enough to defeat him."

Kana leaned lazily against the tree trunk, looking like she was enjoying the show. "But First Generation, your love life is... quite dramatic."

"That's enough!"

Mavis finally couldn't hold back any longer. She floated into the middle of the crowd, her face flushed, but she tried her best to maintain the dignity of the student council president. "That's all in the past! What's important now is... what's important is..."

She kept saying "yes" for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to change the subject.

It was Natsu, finally recovering from his shock, who came to her rescue with his peculiar thought process: "The First Hokage and Zeref were lovers, and Zeref is my brother, so doesn't that mean..."

"According to seniority, the elder should call me uncle?"

"oops!"

With a massive punch, Makarov sent Natsu flying high into the air, as if hitting a baseball, amidst Natsu's screams.

"Xia Lulu, look! It's a shooting star!" Happy was holding up a grilled fish to please the little white cat, completely unaware that the shooting star it was talking about was its partner.

As the moon rose above the trees, the campsite gradually became lively again.

Everyone was chatting and laughing. Some were resting, some were playing, and some were listening to Mavis tell her stories. Only Hope became busy.

Having just seen off Gajeel and Wendy, who had come to inquire about the whereabouts of their dragon parents, he turned and handed the unconscious humanoid goat to Lucy.

Loki recognized the creature, neither human nor sheep, as Capricorn Celestial Spirit Caprico, who had been missing for many years. According to the timeline here, he had not returned to the Celestial Realm for almost seven years.

There are even Protoss beings who have stayed in the human world longer than Loki.

Keep in mind that Loki only stayed for two years before he was about to die.

The reason Capricco was able to stay in the human world for so long was because he was enslaved by magic. The person behind the scenes controlled him to join "Demon Heart" and become one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

In front of Lucy and Loki, Hope forcibly pulled a living person out of the Capricorn Protoss's body—the one controlling Capricorn.

His name is Zudir, and he possesses the lost magic "Human Subordination," which allows him to turn humans into his puppets. However, if he uses it on non-human life forms, he will become one with the target.

Zudir wanted to possess the Capricorn Celestial Spirit, so he used "Human Subordination" on him, which allowed him to merge into Capricorn's body and thus control him.

Besides Caprico, Hope frees other victims of Zudir's enslavement, including Sanjaošin, the hero of Ruben Carudo whom the Three Ravens were trying to rescue.

Hope has always been too lazy to interrogate such depraved scum; she simply offers a one-stop mind-reading service.

This investigation actually uncovered important intelligence.

It turns out that Zudir was once Lucy's mother Leila's servant!

Twenty years ago, Leila married Lucy's father and decided to give up her identity as a mage. She then distributed the three Celestial Keys she possessed—Aquarius, Capricorn, and Cancer—to her three servants and let them pursue their own lives.

Zudir was one of the three servants, and he received the Capricorn key.

Seven years ago, Leila needed to collect all twelve golden keys for a certain reason. With her connections, she successfully borrowed nine keys, and her former servants returned to help her.

But fate is unpredictable. Grammy, the servant who holds the Aquarius Key, was chosen to marry into the Western Continent. When she returned by ship, she encountered a storm at sea, which prevented her from delivering the Celestial Key to Leila in time.

In order to complete that task, Leila had to overdraw her magic to fill the missing Aquarius key, which caused her to suffer from magic deficiency disease, and she died a few days later.

Watching Leila, who was both his former master and benefactor, die, and being powerless to do anything about it, the dark side of Zudir's heart was awakened, and he began to crave power.

Driven by resentment and greed for the Aquarius key, Zudir seized the opportunity while Grame was grieving to ambush and kill her.

But because he was too scared, he ran away before he could get the Aquarius key, so the Aquarius key ended up in Lucy's hands again.

Later, Zudir learned the "Human Subordination" spell, and in order to keep the Capricorn Celestial Spirit alive forever, he used this spell to merge the two into one.
