Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

The headache is that increased fame will inevitably attract more commissions, and who knows how much trouble those restless juniors in the guild will cause during missions.

Overall, Makarov was quite pleased with the situation, saying, "Now, I can't keep a low profile anymore."

"Keep a low profile?" Hope chuckled. "When has our guild ever kept a low profile?"

That's true; Fairy Tail has never been associated with the word "low-key".

As the group walked through the port area toward the station, more and more people pointed and whispered, many recognizing them as members of Fairy Tail from the newspaper, their eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.

To ordinary people, dark guilds are undoubtedly evil and terrifying, so Fairy Tail, who destroyed the Balam Alliance, is undoubtedly a heroic figure.

"Look! That pink-haired guy is Fire Dragon Natsu! The newspaper says he can kill a giant demon with one punch!"

"That red-haired beauty in armor must be the Fairy Queen. It's said that she single-handedly defeated several of the Seven Kin of Purgatory!"

"And that beautiful young lady with white hair, isn't she Ms. Mirajane from Fashion Weekly? It's hard to imagine that someone as gentle as her is actually a powerful mage..."

“There are others…”

Discussions rose and fell, and people's eyes held admiration, curiosity, and even a hint of awe.

The guild members reacted in different ways.

Upon hearing someone praise him, Natsu immediately straightened his back as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, his nose practically pointing to the sky, and proudly waved his fist: "That's right! Devil Heart is nothing compared to this! Happy, we're the strongest!"

“Love!” Harpy flew beside him, equally proud.

Lucy was both excited and a little embarrassed. She whispered to Levy beside her, "It feels so strange... we're so popular."

Levy analyzed rationally: "This is the amplification effect of the media, but it does greatly enhance the guild's reputation, and maybe the commission fees will increase in the future..."

"A bunch of boring bastards." Gajeel snorted, but the slight upturn at the corners of his mouth betrayed his good mood.

Wendy hugged Charlotte, her face flushed; she wasn't good at handling this kind of situation. Charlotte, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "I really can't stand humans," but she still used her body to shield Wendy slightly.

Hope, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant, and even recognized several Mildian Academy students he had beaten up among the onlookers.

After the public's genuine adoration and their own family's feigned humility, the group finally boarded the magic train back to Magnolia.

Back at the guild, such a joyous occasion naturally warranted a banquet. However, Hope did not participate, instead venturing alone into the enclosed space deep beneath the guild walls.

"Is this what Precito did after I died?"

Mavis peeked out from behind Hope, looked around the not-so-large space, and finally fixed her gaze on the huge magic crystal that preserved her body.

"Hey......"

Seeing the objects brought back memories of Jelf and Precht, who had fallen into darkness. Mavis sighed heavily, then turned to Hope, "I'm ready. We can begin."

Hope nodded, and magical light enveloped Mavis's spirit, gently pushing her toward the physical body.

.......

Chapter 260 The First Clash with Ankhseram

Mavis's spirit slowly sank into the body that had been preserved for nearly a hundred years. Hope spread his arms, and complex magic circles unfolded beneath his feet, with pale golden light flowing into the magic crystal like water.

The magic crystal suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire underground space as if it were daytime. Immediately afterward, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the magic crystal, and light shone through from within, growing ever brighter.

Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the huge crystal that preserved Mavis's body completely disintegrated, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

Losing her support, Mavis's body slumped forward, but Hope used magic to catch her and gently placed her on the newly made blanket.

She still carried the lingering coolness of the magic crystal, but Hope could sense that the consciousness of this body was slowly reviving little by little.

The plan to attach Mavis's soul back to her body using the "Enchanting Spell" was successful. However, after the enchanting spell was completed, the process of Mavis's spirit and body re-merging took much longer than Hope had anticipated.

After all, it involves the most mysterious aspects of the human realm, the soul and consciousness, and even Hope doesn't know how long it will take for Mavis to wake up.

Time passed second by second.

The underground space returned to silence, with only the faint, extremely faint sounds of celebration coming from above, like distant background noise that made the place seem less desolate.

Hope was speechless; he was already more than ten meters underground, yet he could still hear the commotion from the celebration...

That group of people is really too noisy...

Just then, the blonde girl's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her emerald green eyes were initially somewhat dazed, but then gradually focused and regained their brilliance.

She propped herself up, her golden hair cascading down, and looked at her hands—real, warm hands.

“I…really…” Mavis’s voice was very soft, with an uncontrollable tremor in it.

Although life on Sirius Island has been boring these past few years, for a ghost, being able to move freely, see beautiful scenery, and observe the various magical little animals on Sirius Island up close is already a precious enjoyment.

Mavis was quite content to be able to live such a life even after death.

Therefore, she didn't really have much hope for Hope's "soul attachment" proposal. After all, she had been dead for nearly ninety years. If she could come back to life, it would be too disrespectful to Ankhseram as a god.

But when she touched reality again, and felt the warmth of her body once more, Mavis still excitedly held back her tears.

But her tears were wiped away as soon as they fell, and the blonde girl's emotions were filled with the excitement of returning to the world. She jumped up, her eyes sparkling, and a somewhat childlike smile appeared on her face.

"Great! I want to eat cream cake, crème brûlée, tiramisu, donuts..."

Listening to Mavis rattle off a long list of desserts like she was reciting a menu, Hope's lips twitched slightly. Wasn't she worried about gaining weight, getting cavities, and developing diabetes from all that sweets...?

Oh right, Mebius died at the age of twenty-three. She hadn't even had two good days left before she was gone. She didn't even have the chance to get these diseases.

Hope smiled and extended her hand: "Anyway, welcome back, First President."

“I’m back!” Mavis stretched out her hand, her voice filled with joy.

The moment the two made contact, the gaze of a terrifying being pierced through space and fixed on Hope. The sense of crisis, like a thorn in his back, made Hope's hair stand on end instantly.

An unknown and powerful magic immediately locked onto him, and energy similar to that within Mavis's body began to invade Hope's body, as if trying to imprint it deeply into his flesh and blood.

This is......

The Curse of Contradiction!

It seems that the act of "reviving" Mavis has finally attracted the attention of Ankhseram, the god of life and death. Just as Zeref wanted to revive Natsu, He wanted to cast a curse on Hope.

Upon realizing that Ankhseram had finally lost his temper, Hope's astonishment immediately turned into a broad smile.

I haven't even come looking for trouble with you yet, and you've already come looking for me.

What utterly nonsensical nonsense!

The magnetic field is rotating!

A savage and domineering force of 100,000 bolts erupted from Hope's body, and the violent current within him instantly forced the divine curse that had invaded the depths of his bloodline out of his body.

A dark mass of death magic revealed its true form.

Whale Killer Fist!

Hope unleashed a punch, instantly shattering the ball of divine magic. His gaze followed the aura of the magic in a certain direction without his noticing.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

When Ankseram attacked Hope, his location was immediately revealed by the intuition of a strong magnetic field expert.

Two gazes seemed to transcend endless time and space, meeting each other.

Hope could sense a large amount of death magic gathering, and it seemed that the so-called god was angry at his resistance as a tiny human.

That's so petty.

However, if we follow the clues now, we might still be able to find some traces left behind by the other party.

But the moment Hope had this thought, the feeling of being watched by Ankhseram vanished without a trace, and the immense magical power dissipated as if it had been forcibly interrupted.

Who could force Ankhseram to give up on dealing with the humans who provoked Him?

A name suddenly popped into Hope's mind.

Acnologia... the black dragon who has his eyes on the gods.

Yes, no matter how powerful the gods are, they are ultimately confined within the framework of the magical world, and the energy they drive, no matter how strong, can only be magic.

To put it bluntly, they are simply more powerful magical creatures who have gone further down the path of magic.

Acnologia could sense even the magic on the isolated island of Tenrou, so there was no reason why she wouldn't notice Ankhseram's magic with such terrifying perception.

If that powerful black dragon, immune to magic, were to find it... even the gods would find it troublesome.

Hope withdrew his imposing aura and then noticed that the underground space had been ravaged by the power he had just unleashed.

He snapped his fingers, activating the "Arc of Time," and the chaotic surroundings instantly reversed, returning to their state before the destruction.

Hope also restored the giant magic crystal that preserved Mavis's body; this crystal also played a role in Precht's ability to create the "Fairy Heart".

Mavis snapped out of her surprise. Although she had witnessed Hope's utter defeat of Zeref and knew that the energy he possessed, known as "Magnetic Force," was stronger than magic.

But she never expected that he could forcibly expel even the curse that Ankhseram had cast on Hope, although this was also because the curse had not yet fully integrated into his body.

Suddenly, I feel like magic is so boring.

Hope didn't notice Mavis's subtle expression; all he knew was that he had won his first encounter with a complete god.

Chapter 261 Surprise or Delight?

The Fairy Tail party and revelry continue.

"Cheers to Kana's promotion to S-Class Mage!"

"Cheers to the destruction of the Balam Alliance!"

"Cheers to Fairy Tail!"

"..."

The sounds of clinking glasses, laughter, and music mingled together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Natsu and Gray, for some reason, started their usual brawl again, while Cana and Gildarts dragged people into a drinking contest, successfully taking down a group of them. Mirajane, smiling, was cleaning up the spilled glasses...

Makarov sat at the counter, looking at the chaotic scene in the hall, stroking his beard, his heart filled with emotion, "It's a pity that the First Generation didn't come back with us. My teacher and my father said she really liked this kind of atmosphere."

He turned to look at Erza, who unusually hadn't gone to "suppress the chaos," and asked, "Why didn't I see Hope the kid when I spoke?"

Erza was working on a strawberry cake when she heard Makarov's question. She wiped the cream from her mouth and said, "When I came back, Hope said he was going to prepare a big surprise for the guild, and then he disappeared. I don't know where he is now."

A surprise? Anything is fine as long as it's not a shock.
