After listening to the divine explanation, Hope finally understood why Hades had impulsively abandoned Augustus.

It seems that fate itself has intervened...

This "chaotic magic" is hardly a divinely bestowed power; it's practically the "beautiful, strong, and tragic" destiny of the magical world.

You're destined to be unlucky, by the will of heaven. If you're not unlucky, who is?

If Hope and Augustus were to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, they might die without ever recognizing their parents, and their deaths would be shrouded in mystery.

In just a few minutes, numerous cracks appeared in the magic circle that was fighting against the death energy in the sky, which is why Ankseram was in the mood to ask Hope for clarification.

Although theoretically, a Chaos Mage who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation possesses destructive power comparable to that of a god, theory is ultimately just theory, and August is clearly far from reaching that level.

He was exceptionally gifted, but he was also burdened by the hardships of life and delayed by his own longing for family.

In addition, being constantly used as Zeref's nuclear-powered beast of burden meant that Augustus rarely had the time or energy to dedicate himself fully to studying magic.

Therefore, Anxelam was certain that Augustus wouldn't last long.

And that was indeed the case.

A few more minutes passed, and the magic circle was completely shattered by the death energy. August fell helplessly from mid-air.

"Ten minutes, that's great, what a pity."

Anxseram looked at August, who was caught by Natsu, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but that was all.

If it were really that easy for Chaos Mages to cultivate to the level of gods, then these gods would be the first to get restless.

Anxelam looked at Hope and saw that Hope's 'Water Wings' were still covering the city, showing no signs of teleporting. He couldn't help but laugh: "Human, it seems your last struggle has failed. What? Is your magic power insufficient?"

The next second, Hope suddenly deactivated the magic circle that had affected the entire city, pointed to the sky, and said, "You brainless god, why don't you look up there?"

Damn! Who are you? You think I'll just look at you because you tell me to?

Even gods have pride!

Anxelam muttered to himself, but still looked up with unease. The sight before him immediately stunned him: the death energy that had turned the sky black had vanished without a trace!

what happened?

In the blink of an eye, my huge mass of death energy disappeared? It was just here a moment ago!

Hope looked at His dazed expression and said, "Don't you understand? Want to know why? I teleported that huge mass of death energy in the sky to the spatial rift."

Anxelam immediately understood what Hope had done.

It turns out that Hope's "Wings of Water" that was supposed to teleport the entire city, and August's act of stepping forward, were just a decoy to mislead Him.

In reality, Hope's true purpose was to secretly unleash another "Wings of Water" to teleport Death Hunt to a place where it could be easily obliterated.

— A spatial rift between worlds.

Hope learned this from Acnologia. Even the Black Dragon had to tough it out in the spatial rift and quickly find a world barrier to break through to escape, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

I've been tricked again!

After being repeatedly harassed by a human, Ankseram was even getting a little red-faced, and immediately cursed, "You damn cunning ant!"

"So what if you're cunning? I'll just unleash another Death Hunt! I'd like to see how many times your magic can be transferred!"

"Haha~ You won't have that chance."

Hope activated "Divine Speed" and rushed toward Ankhseram at lightning speed.

But the latter dismissed it with disdain.

To prevent Hope from engaging in hand-to-hand combat again, Ankhseram has put up more than twenty layers of magical defense this time. With such an impenetrable defense, even if Hope is able to break through, by then Ankhseram's defensive magic will have already taken effect.

A man like me is a noble magic god, I need magic, why would I engage in close combat with a human? That would be beneath me.

Just as Ankhseram was trying to make amends for the beating he had received earlier, something incredible happened to him. His confident twenty-odd layers of magical defense turned out to be as flimsy as paper.

Covered in a crimson glow, Hope charged straight at him.

Wait, what is that red light?

......

Watching Hope's fist strike Ankhseram's face with pinpoint accuracy once again, Eileen, who had retreated to a distance, wiped the sweat from the sudden surge of magical power.

When Augusta was fighting off the Death Hunt, she received a telepathic message from Hope, telling her to quickly create a powerful enchantment that could specifically break through defensive magic.

This brat really thinks "Enchanting Spells" are magic that can make your wishes come true?

But Eileen still managed to do it, and when Hope launched his charge, she applied the newly created 'Limit Addition - Zero Point Pierce' to him.

The price was that Eileen's mind and magic were greatly depleted, leaving her with no combat power for a short period of time, so weak that she couldn't even transform into her dragon form.

Eileen sat unceremoniously on a large boulder, her eyes fixed on Hope, who was fighting in the distance.

"If we can get through this crisis, I won't break even unless I squeeze this kid dry for at least ten days to half a month."

Chapter 465 Get away

Crimson light flowed across the knuckles, tearing apart layers of defensive magic as easily as paper.

The remaining pure physical impact and high-voltage current poured onto Jelf's handsome face with Hope's fist.

Ankseram was thrown back dozens of meters like a stone launched from a catapult, plowing across the stone-paved road, crashing into a palace wall, and finally creating a large, radial crater in the fountain square outside the palace.

The pebbles rustled and the water splashed everywhere.

Before Ankhseram could even get up, he immediately began constructing defensive magic. In close-quarters combat, he would call Hope the strongest.

Therefore, He absolutely could not give Hope another chance to get close.

But Hope's figure had already caught up like a ghost, smashing through Ankhseram's few defensive spells and delivering a heavy whip kick to his waist.

Anxelam was immediately kicked away again, crashing through the clock tower opposite the fountain square.

Hope glanced at the crimson aura around her, which had noticeably dimmed. Eileen's powerful enchantment, having broken through Ankhseram's defensive magic, was nearing its limit.

But that's enough for Hope.

Before the crimson fades, it will be enough for him to drive Ankhseram out of the city!

With a push of his foot, Hope once again pursued like lightning, and just as Ankhseram was getting up, he delivered another full-force elbow strike to his abdomen.

Man!

Millions of volts of electricity exploded within Ankhseram's body, scorching him to a crisp. Instead of carbon dioxide, he exhaled blue smoke.

"Hahaha......"

Ankhseram convulsed, his mouth gaping open as blood dripped down, and he gave Hope a twisted grin. "What a painful punch, human! Every blow from you pierces to the bone, every strike brings me the ultimate humiliation..."

He spread his arms, his charred skin healing and regenerating at an astonishing speed. "I'm starting to enjoy this feeling of being violently beaten! Is this all the power you have? Bring on the violence!"

Hope frowned.

Why did he suddenly turn into a masochist? Did he somehow go crazy from hitting himself?

Is this art style really okay for a god?

During his brief respite, Hope glanced at the panicked citizens fleeing in the street not far away. Their terrified faces and screams brought him back to his senses. Now was not the time to stop arguing with a death god about strange quirks.

"Are you out of your mind? Then we'll move you to another place!"

Hope suddenly sprang into action, grabbed Ankhseram, and swung him around with brute force, before hurling him towards the outskirts of the city.

"Get... away from me!"

Ankhseram transformed into a black meteor, soaring into the sky and disappearing rapidly towards the outskirts of the capital.

"Hope! Leave this to us!" A familiar voice came from behind, and Erza led a group of Fairy Tail members who had caught up.

Hope glanced at his companions behind him, said nothing, and immediately activated "Divine Speed," rushing off again in the direction where Ankhseram had fallen.

"Hope deliberately drove Anxelam out of the city."

Erza's sharp eyes quickly made a judgment: "If we stay in the city, that god can use all the hostages in the city to control him at any time."

She turned to look at Inbell, her tone serious: "It's no longer safe here. Please organize the evacuation of the people immediately. We Fairy Tail mages will do our best to assist you."

Imber nodded solemnly. At this moment, Zeref was under control, August's magic was exhausted, and Eileen was also powerless due to assisting Hope.

Indeed, he was the only one left in the Empire who could coordinate the overall situation. Imbel immediately summoned several trusted confidants and quickly issued a series of orders.

With the Imperial Knights' evacuation efforts coordinated by Imbel, the chaos in the area is being brought under control rapidly.

"Guards! Evacuate all residents of the city immediately! Withdraw through the east gate!"

"The communications team will use magical signals to contact the surrounding garrisons and assist in the evacuation of nearby villages and towns. Be aware that the area west of the capital is extremely dangerous; no one is allowed to approach, no matter how much noise is making!"

"Supplies team! Logistics must be guaranteed!"

"..."

As the instructions were passed down, the massive machine of Alvarez immediately sprang into action, and the chaos was rapidly being brought under control.

The Fairy Tail members, led by Mavis, also dispersed throughout the crowd to provide assistance.

Natsu stood amidst the rubble created by Ankhseram, with Lucy and Happy grabbing his arms on either side. "Let go of me! I need to help Hope!"

Natsu's eyes burned with crimson flames. "Auguste is fine, I'm in great shape right now, and I can be of help!"

You can call it anything, even August!

Even though he's your nephew, don't talk about the Magic King as if he's insignificant.

Lucy's forehead was sweating. Having spent so much time together, she knew Natsu too well and knew he was worried about Hope. She wanted to help, but in reality, not causing trouble was the greatest help she could offer.

"Natsu, don't be impulsive. In a battle of that level, you'll only be a hindrance to Hope."

Natsu gritted his teeth, but the resentment in his voice was impossible to hide. "Of course I understand, but Hope is fighting alone, and I can't help him at all..."

Lucy was silent for a moment, then her voice softened: "All we can do is trust him."

"But simply believing isn't enough!"

His fists clenched tighter and tighter. He knew Lucy was right. In a battle against the gods, if he rushed in, he would most likely only become a burden to Hope, and he might even be crushed by the death energy if he got close.

and many more......

Death energy.
