Makarov took a sip of beer and was about to give his guild leader's remarks on the Sirius Island incident when suddenly, the entire guild was jolted awake.
The noisy atmosphere was instantly put on pause.
Everyone felt the tremors coming from underground, propelled by some powerful force.
"Earthquake? Or magic?" Erza frowned. "Whether it's the earthquake or magic, we should get everyone out of the building first before making any further plans."
She was about to greet everyone when Makarov stopped her.
At the same time, Gildarts, who was chugging his liquor, also changed his expression and put down the bottle.
Others might not know, but Makarov and Kirdas understood perfectly well that the tremor they had just experienced was definitely not an earthquake.
To prepare for potential enemy attacks, the guild specifically deployed spell-based structures to stabilize buildings and resist magic during its expansion and renovation.
If we rule out natural disasters and magical influences, and we haven't sensed any large-scale magical fluctuations, then the only explanation... is probably that there's something wrong with the underground space where Mavis's body is stored.
Makarov and Gildarts exchanged a glance across the crowd. Just as they were about to go to the underground space to check, the guild door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Who arrives at such a moment?
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
A petite blonde girl in a white dress stood quietly with emerald green eyes.
Her gaze swept over the familiar and unfamiliar faces, finally landing on Makarov across the hall, and she gave him a bright smile.
"Makarov, I'm back."
bang-
Makarov dropped the wooden wine glass from his hand, his eyes widening in disbelief. "First...First...First Generation! What brings you here?!"
The entire guild fell into a deathly silence.
All the guild members except those who participated in the Sirius Island trip were stunned. Was that the first guild leader, Mavis? But wasn't she dead for many years?
Mavis blinked, seemingly puzzled by everyone's reaction, but then realized that Makarov and the others had kept the fact that there was a ghost guild master on Sirius Island a secret from the guild members.
This is understandable, since Mavis doesn't like being disturbed when she's a ghost.
Hope emerged from behind Mebbes and leaned against the door.
"Everyone," he cleared his throat, "let me introduce you. This is Mavis Viviamilio, the first guild master of Fairy Tail. I've resurrected her!"
The silence lasted for several seconds.
Then......
"Ehhhhhhhh-?!!"
The unified screams nearly lifted the roof off the guild.
"The first president?! That legendary fairy strategist?!"
"Hasn't he been dead for almost a hundred years?!"
"Resurrection is the key point, isn't it? Is that something magic can do...?"
"..."
Amid the chaos, Makarov's expression was complex; he finally understood what Hope's so-called "big surprise" was.
The dead are resurrected.
This kind of surprise is practically the same as a shock...
Mavis's return made the atmosphere at the banquet more lively than ever before, and it has to be said that the Fairy Tail members have an incredibly strong ability to adapt.
The fact that Natsu is a demon from 400 years ago doesn't faze anyone, so Mavis's resurrection naturally doesn't take up much of everyone's time in surprise.
"it is good!"
"To celebrate the return of the first guild master!"
"Let's drink!"
Mebius was surrounded by everyone, laughing heartily.
Seeing this, Hope, with a smile on his lips, quietly went to the counter and sat down. Mirajane handed him a glass of juice, "Thanks to you, the guild is going to be lively from now on."
"Isn't it always lively?" Hope laughed.
The banquet lasted all day, and by the time it ended, it was already night.
After Hope helped Mirajane, Erza, and the others tidy up the hall, and after a certain drunken female alcoholic returned to her dormitory, she went to the guild's backyard alone.
A snowflake drifted into his hand. Magnolia wasn't the tropical Sirius Island; winter nights there were very cold, but Hope didn't feel it.
Whether it's the various ice magic spells he knows or the magnetic field power, they all make him impervious to heat and cold.
Hope sat cross-legged, pondering how to deal with the gods.
It wasn't for his own sake, but for the sake of his guildmates.
After resurrecting Mavis, Ankhseram suddenly cast a curse. If he hadn't had the protection of 'magnetic field power', he would have definitely fallen victim to it and become the second Zeref.
Fortunately, he possessed greater power, but others did not. Once the curse was planted, even someone as powerful as Zeref could not resist the malice of the gods.
Ankseram is not a positive character.
Therefore, before cultivating his magnetic field power to the point where he could break the "contradictory curse," Hope planned to find a way for his companions to somewhat resist the power of the gods.
Hope opened the system, looked at the large collection of spells, and found the most recently added spell.
"The Flame of Annihilation: Remnant".
The "Moon Godslayer" magic can only be passed down one-on-one, but this Godslayer magic, which is labeled "crippled" by the system, can be learned normally, although it requires a high level of talent.
So... let's try lowering the learning difficulty a bit.
Chapter 262 Letter from the Council
After studying all night, Master Hope got a good night's sleep but made no real progress.
The label "incomplete" means that the "Flame Godslayer" magic itself is incomplete, but even with the help of the "ancient texts," Hope spent a lot of time analyzing and reconstructing it.
It's almost impossible to pass the threshold of demon-slaying magic.
Just as the "Dragon Slayer" magic to fight dragons requires the power of dragons, the "Evil Slayer" magic to fight demons requires the power of demonic spells.
As the final of the three great annihilation spells, the "Godslayer" series, Hope, while disassembling "Flame Godslayer: Remnant," unsurprisingly discovered that this spell also required some important external force to assist it.
Without a doubt, the missing part must be related to the gods.
If you get stuck on the most important step, it will be very difficult to continue.
Hope's "Moon Godslayer" magic was inherited from the Moon Temple on Galna Island through the complete Godslayer magic legacy given by the temple priest's remains, and then deciphered by the system, ignoring the most important condition and directly mastering it.
He can use cheat codes, but others don't have a system to help them take shortcuts. Even cultivating incomplete God-Slaying Magic is extremely difficult.
I just don't know how Zankro, the Flame God-Slayer Mage from "Heart of the Devil," learned his God-Slayer Magic.
It was already bright outside the window. Hope stretched, clearing his mind of the chaotic thoughts, and pushed open the door to the guild hall. Mirajane and Ginana were already preparing the ingredients for the guild breakfast.
Members were already arriving in the hall, scattered here and there.
Mirajane was taken aback when she saw Hope. "You're not still living in the guild's lounge, are you?"
“Anyway, it doesn’t cost any money.” Hope smiled.
Mirajane was speechless. "How come I never noticed before? You're the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others..."
Hope shrugged, "Is it my fault?"
Hope casually ordered a sandwich for breakfast and sat down at the counter. "But then again, it really doesn't feel right to live in the guild's lounge all the time. I need to have my own place."
This guy finally figured it out.
Mirajane's lips curled up slightly. Hope living in the guild made it inconvenient for her to visit him. Living outside would be much more convenient, at least she wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed when she was alone.
"If you want to buy a house, I can go with you..."
Hope took a bite of her sandwich. "Buy? Why spend money to buy a house? You should build your own place to live."
Seeing Mirajane's puzzled expression, Hope quickly finished preparing breakfast, got up, went to the small lake behind the guild, and clapped his hands.
"The Art of Wood Shaping: A Three-Bedroom Apartment".
A large wooden platform rises from the center of the lake, and a two-story wooden villa is erected on the platform almost in the blink of an eye. A continuously extending floating bridge connects the villa in the lake to the lakeside.
"This will be my home from now on." Hope proudly raised her head, with the joy of a Minecraft player who had finally finished building a house after a lot of hard work.
Mirajane watched this scene, her lips twitching slightly. "So... what does your magic have to do with a three-bedroom apartment...?"
Hope shook his head. Everyone has a different sense of ritual. He was already being very restrained by not shouting Wood Release.
Hope could have easily made the furniture and household items himself, but Mirajane insisted on dragging him out to buy them.
They say that houses made entirely of magical artifacts lack any sense of life.
Unfortunately, before Hope could even leave the guild hall, Erza intercepted her, holding a letter in her hand. "This is from the guild council," she said.
"A council?"
With a sense of doubt, Hope opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the letter. His face gradually darkened.
Mirajane and Erza immediately tensed up. What could be on the letter that made Hope, who was incredibly powerful, show such an expression?
Hope offered no explanation, but immediately set off for Makarov's house. The two women hesitated for a moment, then followed.
......
Fifteen minutes later, in Makarov's house, in the living room.
Still in his pajamas, Makarov read the letter Hope handed him over again and again, his expression growing more complicated with each reading.
It wasn't until he had read the letter over and over again for the fifth time that the old man finally put down the letter, looked up, and let out a long sigh.
"So... just because of this, you brat, you came here early in the morning to disturb this old man's sleep?"
Hope frowned and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, this is really troublesome for me, and it might cause problems in my life in the future."
"What troubles you for!"
Makarov's sudden shout startled Mirajane and Erza, who were standing nearby, their questioning gazes shifting back and forth between the old man and the young girl.
