Chapter 350: How much hidden danger will a careful joke leave for the future
tread!
Kira landed gracefully, raised his hands quickly, and aimed a sword and a spear at the two demons that had regrouped in front of him, but his eyes were looking at Hades in front of him.
"The demons created by magic are useless to me. Do you have any other magic?"
Hades was extremely shocked at the moment. All the changes happened in just a few seconds, but he still hadn't reacted: "How is this possible?! My magic is ineffective?! How can this..."
Swish! Boom!
Sword beams and artillery fire flew past Hades on both sides at the same time, blowing up his cloak, hair, and beard.
Hades was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that the surviving wind demon and water demon were also chopped to pieces by the holy sword and blasted into ashes by the divine spear. At this moment, they had lost all vitality, their magic power was dissipating, and their bodies were gradually disappearing between heaven and earth.
"Sorry! My hands are sore because you were in a daze for too long, so I can only kill them first!" Kira dispersed the holy sword and divine spear in his hand, and removed the magic of "attack" and "defense". "I know your mind is confused now, but don't be confused! I have worse news to tell you!"
"You and I are different. Your powerful magic and longevity are all due to the 'heart' in the battleship, right?"
Hades's expression changed drastically: "You...you...could it be?!"
Kira showed a sinister smile: "I have already told the people in the guild this news! Yes, when I was fighting with you, Gildarts and the president had already gone to your battleship and destroyed your heart! Hahahaha!!!"
At this moment, an inopportune voice came from behind: "Ah! I'm so sorry! We are still here!"
"What?!"
Kira turned around quickly and saw Gildarts and Makarov hiding behind a big tree, with their heads and half of their bodies exposed. They raised their hands like students when their names were called by the teacher in class, and looked at him with embarrassed faces.
"What on earth are you doing ??!! Do you have such a lack of tacit understanding with me?? Or are you really that confident in my ability?! You don't think that destroying the other person's heart is unfair?!"
Gildarts smiled awkwardly: "Ahahahaha... Sorry! I was simply too engrossed in watching."
"ha?!"
Makarov sighed, "I never thought that Kira would become so strong! I am very pleased..."
“Is it time to be relieved now??!!”
Gildarts avoided his gaze nonchalantly. "Weren't we injured in the battle just now? Right, President?"
"Yes, my waist still hurts..."
"Make it up! Keep making it up!" Kira looked at the two of them unhappily, "It's obvious that the injury is not serious!"
While the three of them were joking around, Hades realized that Kira's plan had not succeeded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that in addition to 'Gate of Hell', you have also planted an undercover agent in 'Devil's Heart'! Is it Jellal?"
Wow! This scene looks so familiar!
Kira nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right! It's him!"
Hades looked like he had guessed it right, and said coldly, "I knew that guy couldn't be trusted!"
Kira continued, "After all, to deal with guys like you who hide in the dark, we have to send out people who are equally insidious, despicable, cunning and shameless!"
“…”
"How is it? The magic is ineffective. Are you going to surrender?"
Hades shook his head stubbornly: "Surrender is impossible! I have studied magic for my entire life and finally got a glimpse of the source of magic. I can't stop here!"
His expression gradually became greedy: "Almost! Almost, I have collected all the 'Keys to Awakening Zeref'. As long as I open the Great Magic World, I can get the 'Magic of One'!"
Kira looked at him pitifully and sighed, "Are you still stubborn? That's why people say we should not be superstitious, spread rumors, or believe in rumors!"
"The so-called 'Great Magic World' and the 'key' you mentioned never existed from the beginning! They were all illusions created by the magicians who blindly followed Zeref! And similar rumors like 'sacrificing tens of thousands of lives' are all false!!"
Hades subconsciously retorted, "Impossible! 'Jeref is in a dormant state and needs a key to wake him up' This is the conclusion I came to after studying many ancient documents in detail. It can't be wrong!"
"Hahaha...ancient documents?" Kira laughed out loud upon hearing that. "How come you're already over a hundred years old? Do you still completely believe in the so-called 'ancient documents'?"
"No matter what it is, as long as it is recorded, it will definitely be affected by the thoughts of the recorder! And the 'ancient documents' you found may not be true. Maybe they are just settings written casually by some unsuccessful novelist. Do you believe them so completely?"
Hades' heart began to waver.
"Well, let me tell you something and you'll understand." Seeing this, Kira continued to attack her. "I visited Demisol College a while ago, you know that. Before I left, I left a bunch of obscure clues in the college's library, scattered in several books."
"If someone could unravel all the clues hundreds of years later, they would be surprised to find that there was a genius in history who was extremely gifted but little-known. His name was Yan."
"After investigation, they will find that this guy named Yan is the protagonist of a fantasy novel called 'Magic Break Sphere' that was once popular in the Kingdom of Fiore. Considering the time when the novel appeared and the character setting, they will associate this 'Yan' with 'Natsu' from 'Fairy Tail' and start to track down everything about Natsu."
Makarov: "This kid..."
Gildarts: "You really know how to play..."
Hades: “…”
"After that, future generations will find that Natsu's upbringing before July 7, X777 is very suspicious, and the same is true for Gajeel and Wendy. Then, after a bunch of seemingly careful but actually full of loopholes speculation, they come to conclusions like 'there are dragons in Demisool' and 'the Dragon Slayer was born in Demisool Academy'."
"How was it? Wasn't it interesting?"
Hades fell into a long silence, his face as black as Lili's skin, thinking to himself: Interesting? Funny as hell! How could Fairy Tail raise a child like you?
"Ahem... I said it wrong. It should be, what do you think? Do you think it's very similar to you?"
Kira suppressed his inner joy. "Because you discovered and researched it yourself, and you saw and heard it with your own eyes, you believed it without a doubt and spent decades chasing it. You... are really the master with the lowest IQ in the entire magic world!"
Hades could not accept this speech, which was based on his own experience: "What you said is just your guess! You can't think that what I saw is a false setting just because of my own behavior!!!"
“I don’t believe it even when the facts are right in front of me… It really is so difficult to communicate with the elderly!”
Kira shook his head helplessly, but he was a respectful young man after all, so he still patiently persuaded, "You are right, but it cannot be denied that there is indeed such a possibility as I said! So... show me the evidence that can prove your statement, whether it is a document or a 'key' or something, I will expose it one by one!"
At this moment, Kira felt that he was a new-age teenager who was fighting against "false superstition" and he seemed to be emitting the light of righteousness!
"I...I saw it with my own 'eyes'. The way Zeref was beaten away by that Natsu. The way his magic was instantly broken in your hands. The way you sat face to face with me, calmly chatting with me...No matter how talented you are, you can never be compared to that Zeref! Isn't this evidence that he is 'asleep'?!"
"That's easy! He was knocked away by Natsu. Besides the fact that he couldn't bear to do it for some reason, it was also because Zeref had the curse of Ankerthram on him. You should know this thing. He has been restraining his power for this reason."
Hades knew about this curse, as Mavis had it in her body. He created his own "heart" by studying Mavis' body, but he didn't expect that Zeref also had it in his body, and was still struggling with the importance of life.
He fell to his knees with a thud, quietly thinking about everything that had happened in his past 48 years, his mouth wide open, but unable to utter a word.
"As for the last two items, it may be more complicated to explain. It's probably..."
Kira thought for a long time and felt that it would be too troublesome to explain it to Hades from the beginning. Besides, looking at his current state, he might not have the patience to listen.
"The reason is, I'm a genius!"
Hades looked up at Kira in shock, as if he had heard some huge joke.
"What's with that expression on your face?! Do you really think that Zeref is an unsurpassable existence?" Kira looked down at Hades from above: "Even if someone is as powerful as a dragon, there are people who can destroy it! Not to mention Zeref?"
"Within ten years, I can make the name of Zeref succumb to 'Kira Hopelet'!!!"
