Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

It is truly terrifying.

While her two companions were lamenting the enemy's strength, Kana lazily lay down on the ground, comfortably crossing her legs, and said, "Hope, come out and clean up this mess."

Hope's lips twitched slightly; this sounded more like a call to a lackey...

"it's useless."

As Hope slowly walked forward, Athena smiled and said, "Your emotions and your magic are all under my control."

"is it?"

Hope's voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Athena's pupils contracted slightly. What terrifying speed! To be able to approach her right under her nose! Her mechanical body reacted instantly, her arm transforming into a blade as she swept backward.

The blade missed its target.

Looking at Hope's smug face, she activated "Emotional Alchemy" and "White Annihilation Power" again, only to find that her alchemy and magic were like hitting an invisible wall, unable to affect Hope at all.

What's wrong with this guy?

Is this even human?

Chapter 345 "Friendly Behavior"

Athena's mechanical body took a slight step back, her formulaic smile vanished, and a human-like emotional fluctuation called "vigilance" appeared in her eyes as she re-examined the young man before her.

Without any magical fluctuations, he managed to get behind her without her noticing, unaffected by the Emotional Transformation, and completely ineffective against the White Annihilation Power...

This situation has never occurred since she was born.

Athena's voice was no longer calm, but filled with deep inquiry, "What exactly are you?"

Hope laughed innocently, "You're the one who's a thing, your whole family are things, but I'm a genuine human being, no doubt about it."

“Impossible.” Athena said firmly, “Even dragons cannot be completely immune to my alchemy and magic, let alone humans.”

So, you see...

Hope's figure disappeared from the spot again, and the next second he appeared less than half a meter in front of Athena, close enough to see every intricate pattern on her mechanical body.

"You know nothing about true power."

This speed is more than ten times faster than before!

Athena instinctively stepped back. Hope wasn't teleporting; she was simply fast, so fast that even her alchemical circuits needed a delay of a fraction of a second to process visual information.

The alchemy was completed in an instant. Athena's arm launched several blades, slashing in all directions without any blind spots, aiming at Hope's vitals from different angles.

Hope offered no resistance, yet the alchemical blade shattered into pieces the instant it touched his body.

This is a pure physical domination.

Amidst Athena's bewildered and puzzled gaze, Hope rotated the magnetic field.

"Ten thousand horses' worth of power, material reorganization."

The shattered blade fragments floated in the air, melted, and reformed, eventually transforming into three delicate white roses that quietly landed in Hope's palm.

Athena was stunned. "You..."

Hope immediately interrupted her, "What do you mean 'you'? These three roses are for my girlfriend, not for you. Even if you provided the raw materials, it's not okay."

Athena: "I..."

Hope interrupted her again, "What do you mean 'I'? I'm warning you now, surrender right now, or I'll crush you into an RBP."

Athena tilted her head: "rbp... what's that?"

Hope was about to explain when Erza choked him with a flying kick, "Don't try to instill your lewd thoughts into innocent battle dolls!"

Athena was even more puzzled as she watched Hope being lectured by Erza while Erza rode on her back.

She doesn't understand.

Despite possessing a powerful physique that even she couldn't break, Hope willingly allowed herself to be knocked to the ground when attacked by her companions. Why is that?

And why does he look like he's enjoying himself?

Is it comfortable to be ridden on by a woman?

Mirajane picked up the three white roses that Hope had reconstructed from metal fragments, gave one to Cana, and pinned another to Erza's ear.

Seeing Hope's grinning face, Cana teased Erza, "Stop rewarding him. I've figured it out, this guy's a masochist."

Erza stood up. Didn't she know who Hope was? She had been so careless; this guy had really gotten away with it.

Hope also stood up and looked seriously at Athena, who was puzzled by their strange behavior. "I heard from Elefseria that you long to have human emotions."

Athena did not deny it, "I was created as an emotionless doll simply to defeat the five dragon gods; I was born without emotions."

In fact, Athena knew that the "Golden Owl" had a big problem, and its leader, "Duke Barbaroa," was not the "father" who created her.

However, she still chose to join when she was invited by the fake Duke.

Because the other party offered her a condition she had always dreamed of.

To become human.

The first step to becoming human is to have human emotions. However, while Athena's "emotional training" works wonders on others, it is useless on her.

Because she is fundamentally a combat puppet without any emotions.

"But you were surprised and confused just now too."

Upon hearing Athena's thoughts, Hope laughed and said, "Doesn't this just prove that you do have feelings? It's just that you haven't truly understood them yet."

Athena was puzzled: "I have feelings? But what am I supposed to do...?"

Hope patiently explained, "The real reason you don't understand that you've developed feelings is that you didn't have the conditions to generate those feelings before."

"condition?"

“That’s right, because you’ve always been too lonely.” Hope changed the subject. “So Athena, how about becoming our friend?”

Erza: He actually wants to be friends with a life-size doll... Aren't the three of us enough?

Mirajane: By the way, Athena's figure looks pretty good too.

Cana: Hope, he wouldn't... Wow! How perverted! I love it!

Although she doesn't usually use her mind-reading ability on her companions, Hope could tell from Erza and the others' expressions what impolite things they were thinking.

With a light cough, Hope looked at Athena. He could have easily knocked her out with one punch, but since it was Eleveselia's request, it was better to talk than to act.

"How about my suggestion? It would be very beneficial for you too!"

Athena still couldn't understand, "What good would it do me to be friends with you?"

"Of course, it's to help you generate various emotions, thereby awakening your feelings. Our guild has all sorts of people; as long as you become our friend..."

Hope began spouting nonsense with a straight face, "I guarantee you'll learn to complain on the first day, get angry on the second, climb on the roof on the third, and feel guilty on the fourth..."

Hey, hey, hey, this doesn't sound like anything good!

Athena thought to herself that, without realizing it, she had mastered a skill that was essential for members of Fairy Tail.

--Make complaints.

Seeing Athena waver, Hope pressed her advantage, "You're undecided about what to do right now, aren't you? That's the feeling of 'indecision'."

Athena lowered her head slightly. "But the guild master promised me that if I collected enough powerful magic, I could gain emotions..."

"That's something you already had."

Hope said earnestly, "Ask yourself honestly, and you'll know what decision you should make."

“I understand.” Athena already had the answer in her heart. She walked towards Hope, pushed him over, and then... sat on him.

Wait a minute, what's going on here?

Hope looked on in bewilderment as Athena sat on his abs. "What are you doing?"

Athena tilted her head slightly. "Isn't this just something friends do? I saw you were excited about what that red-haired girl did, so..."

What? You're afraid I won't die, aren't you?

Hope felt a pang of despair.

Meanwhile, Erza was indeed furious, and even pulled out her Dragon Slayer weapon. Mirajane and Cana held her tightly on either side.

"Sister Ai, it's not that bad."

"Why are you arguing with an artificially disabled person...?"

Chapter 346 The Golden Owl

After much coaxing and persuasion from Mirajane and Kana, Erza finally calmed down.

After all, she was a rational person, while Athena was merely an alchemical life form only a little over 100 years old...

Thinking about it that way only makes me angrier!

How can someone her age be so clueless?

Why are you, an artificial intelligence, so innocent?!

However, just as Erza had thought, she was a rational and thoughtful person and wouldn't hold a grudge against Athena, who had finally come to her senses and discovered that she had feelings.

So... die! Hope!

Watching Hope being chased around by Erza with her sword drawn, Athena looked at Cana in confusion, "Did I do something wrong just now?"

Kana shook her head. She wasn't sure how to explain it either, since it involved such complicated relationships as boyfriends/girlfriends, lovers, and partners.

It can only be said that Hope's harm to innocent girls is immeasurable.

After a bit of playful fighting, Hope returned without batting an eye, while Erza, on the other hand, was panting heavily after being taken on a long walk.

Erza could only glare at him fiercely, her eyes clearly saying: You're not giving me face, are you? I'll deal with you when we get home.

The thought of the little leather whip at home... never mind, I'd rather not think about it.

Hope gathered her scattered thoughts and looked at Athena. "Now that we're friends, you don't mind taking us to the 'Golden Owl,' do you?"
