Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Jelf was silent for a few seconds, then slowly exhaled. He hadn't expected that even Hope couldn't remove the curse from his body, but it was good that it could be completely sealed.

What price do I need to pay?

"There's no cost to you, but the process might be a little painful." Hope grinned. "After all, to come into contact with the power of the curse itself, you need to first push your immortal body to its limit."

Zeref recalled the battle on Tenrou Island, where Hope nearly shattered his body with her immense power, forcing the "Contradictory Curse" to appear and repair his form.

"So you're going to recreate our first encounter again? You're not just using this as an excuse to mess with me again, are you?" Zeref was already a little traumatized.

Hope rolled her eyes. "Alright, stop dawdling. Relax your body completely. It might hurt a little later, but it won't last long."

After speaking, Hope looked at the crowd and asked everyone to retreat to the more distant stands, leaving only August and Eileen as protectors.

If something goes wrong during the sealing of the curse, and Hope and Jelf are unable to help, only the two experienced individuals can handle the situation.

"I'm ready."

Without saying much, Zeref released all the magic in his body, completely relaxed, and stood in front of Hope without any defenses.

"You idiot, it's just a simple 'scraping the bone to remove the poison' surgery, don't act like you're going to your death, okay?"

"Doesn't it make you more scared by saying that?"

"Hahaha."

Before the laughter subsided, Hope's right hand had already clenched into a fist, the blue electricity turning into pure cyan, and an invisible force condensing and compressing in his hand.

The magnetic field is rotating! 180,000 horsepower!

Whale Killer Fist!

A glint flashed in Hope's eyes, and with a low shout, he threw a powerful punch!

There was no exaggerated air current, nor the massive fluctuations of a magical collision; only a fleeting burst of fist force left a visible black trail in the air.

Eileen and August, who were nearby, didn't even have time to blink.

Hope's fist had already slammed solidly into Jelf's chest!

A dull thud.

Jelf's body remained motionless, but starting from his chest, countless cracks instantly spread across his entire body like a spider web.

The person seemed about to shatter at any moment, but the eerie black light seeping from the cracks in their body acted like a powerful adhesive, forcibly binding the body together.

That is the origin of the "Contradiction Curse"!

Just one punch nearly killed him; a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Zeref's mouth, but his eyes remained perfectly clear.

Hope's punch was perfectly timed, hitting the limit of damage an immortal body could withstand, forcing the source of the curse to reveal itself while keeping him alive.

The source of the curse, as it was forced to the surface of the body, seemed to sense the crisis and began to twist and struggle wildly, trying to burrow back into the depths of Zeref's body.

But Hope would never give it that chance.

With his left hand outstretched, the five fingers pierced straight into Zeref's chest like a blade, his palm penetrating the cracks and directly grasping the surging, dark curse power.

It's now!

The magnetic field is rotating! 220,000 horsepower! Magnetic field lock!

An overwhelming and domineering force instantly entangled the dark curse, layer upon layer, densely enveloping, tightening, and compressing it.

Jelf felt a burning sensation throughout his body, but at the same time, the cold sense of death that had accompanied him for four hundred years and was always hanging over his head was rapidly fading away.

It became.

Jelf thought to himself that if Hope had just three more seconds, she could completely lock down the curse.

However, just as the seal was about to be completed—

puff--!

Hope coughed up a mouthful of blood without warning!

The scarlet blood even contained chunks of rotting flesh.

Chapter 461 Magnetic Field Virus

"Hope?!"

Jelf was shocked and instinctively reached out to help him, only to find that the cursed power that was only half-sealed in his chest was violently surging, with black death energy gushing out from the gaps in the seal like a tidal wave.

On the edge of the training ground, everyone in the stands witnessed an astonishing change.

The smiles on Lucy and Happy's faces froze instantly.

Natsu and Gajeel, who had their arms around each other's shoulders, suddenly stood up.

Erza gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, while Mirajane and Cana trembled, staring incredulously towards the arena.

"Hope!"

"Hope—!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise and rushed toward Hope.

In the center of the ring, Hope pressed one hand tightly against his chest, blood mixed with chunks of flesh gushing from his mouth.

Blood splattered everywhere, carrying a nauseating stench, with chunks of blackened, rotting flesh mixed in with the scarlet droplets of blood.

Pus, blood, and rotten flesh fell to the ground, instantly corroding a fist-sized, steaming crater into the sturdy arena made of special materials.

The hissing sound was extremely eerie.

"Don't come any closer!" Hope shouted, stopping Eileen from approaching. Then, he carefully sensed the changes in her body. "This is... poison?"

"That's right, but to be precise, it's a virus."

The voice came from Jelf's mouth, but with a completely different tone—cold, mocking, and with a condescending air, as if looking down on ants.

Hope looked up abruptly.

All the dense, almost shattering wounds on "Zeref's" body had healed completely in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed.

He slowly floated up, three feet off the ground, with his hands behind his back. His face, which had originally carried a gentle smile, now wore a chilling smile.

Hope sensed a familiar aura emanating from Zeref. It was the same aura that had briefly clashed with Mavis from afar after Zeref's resurrection!

"It's you! Anksera!"

Eileen and Auguste's eyes widened in shock. The name Hope had mentioned... wasn't that...?

Ankhseram, through Zeref's body, smiled and said, "You human are indeed special; you recognized me at a glance."

Looking down at that despicable guy, Hope finally understood what was the reason for the slight unease he had sensed in Jelf earlier.

That sense of incongruity comes from what's right in front of you...

Ankhseram, the god of life and death.

Through Zeref, He brought countless deaths to the world, to the point that even Hope forgot that He possessed another authority—'Life'.

Looking back now, Zeref's claim that the "ultimate life energy" he developed suppressed the cursed death energy was simply wishful thinking on his part.

Ankhseram, known as the god of life and death, holds the power of life in addition to death.

Jelf thought that the life energy he had researched had counteracted the death hunt, but now it seems that Ankseram had stopped on his own initiative!

It's possible that Jelf was able to acquire such a massive amount of life energy in less than a year thanks to the support Anxseram secretly provided.

Jelf probably never imagined that all his efforts to break free of the curse were being watched by the god who held the power of "life" and "death".

Ankseram kept watching.

Watching Jelf's tireless research, watching his family reunite, watching Jelf believe he had finally found a way to completely escape...

Then, at the moment when Hope sealed the curse and exerted all his strength, he launched a real killing move against Hope through the 'Contradictory Curse' in Zeref's body.

That despicable trickery is really no match for mine.

Hope wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at the "god" floating in the air. "I'm a little curious, how did you control Zeref's body? Even he himself was completely unaware."

"Control? Not really."

Ankhseram's voice carried a chilling lightness, "In fact, the 'Curse of Contradiction' was originally part of my divine power. The day I cursed Zeref, he became my possession."

"This human is indeed very talented. He actually created a life-giving race in order to commit suicide, so I let him live until now to see what other tricks he can come up with."

Anxelam's gaze fell on Hope, his smile deepening. "I never imagined he would become the key to my scheme against you."

"Hmph, you don't really think a mere virus can do anything to me, do you?" Hope's magnetic field began to rotate as he tried to expel the invading viruses.

However, his expression changed again the next second.

Instead of being eliminated, the virus multiplied wildly the moment he used the magnetic field power, eroding every corner of his body.

The black lines quickly spread across his entire arm, and a wave of excruciating pain washed over him.

Hope coughed up another mouthful of black blood, this time mixed with even more rotting tissue. His vision blurred for a moment, and he weakened to the point of kneeling on one knee, his hands bracing himself on the ground, which was largely corroded by his own flesh.

"You felt it?"

Anxelam observed Hope's ugly expression with great interest. "This is a gift I carefully prepared to deal with you. It is transmitted through a magnetic field, colorless and odorless, and is specifically designed for powerful humans like you who can manipulate magnetic fields for their own use."

"If you don't use the power of the magnetic field, it will remain dormant forever, and you won't be able to detect it at all. But once you use the energy of the magnetic field..."

Before Anxelsen could continue, Hope already knew the effects of this wretched virus.

If he uses the magnetic field to rotate, the virus that targets the magnetic field will be instantly activated and multiply wildly inside his body. The more he rotates the magnetic field, the faster he will die.

TMD!

Isn't this the 'magnetic field virus' of the magnetic field world?

A terrifying virus specifically targeting the magnetic field world, capable of infecting even peerless powerhouses with the strength of 990,000 horses.

Hope's face was extremely gloomy. He had been living too smoothly since he mastered the power of magnetic fields, and he was confident that this power, which surpassed magic, would allow him to roam freely in this magical world.

Thus, confidence turned into arrogance.

Hope even forgot that even in the magnetic field world, ordinary people without power can use their wisdom to create amazing works that can overwhelm even the strongest magnetic field beings.

Moreover, Ankhseram is one of the most powerful beings in the world, having lived for countless years. With his knowledge and wisdom, creating a toxin similar to a "magnetic field virus" would not be difficult for him.

Hope had just mobilized 180,000 and 220,000 horses respectively, and the virus had already penetrated deep into his flesh and blood.
