Chapter 642: A Family of Three
Mavis wasn't targeted by the god Anxelram?
Am I the only one being targeted?
Was she cursed because of me and because she used the magic I taught her?
After hearing Kira's words, Zeref's heart was immediately filled with turmoil and turmoil: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! How is this possible?! This kind of thing..."
It seems that it is not impossible!
"Those who blaspheme life will be cursed by the God of Life and Death." This sentence was once said by a teacher at Mildian School of Magic. It was a saying that had been passed down from a long time ago. Although Mavis used the "law", it was indeed a bit of a stretch to say that she blasphemed life...
At this moment, Jellal's heart was shaken, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He stared at Kira's sky-blue eyes in disbelief. The other party had a serious expression and a firm gaze, which did not seem fake.
Back then, when he knew that Mavis couldn't grow up because of the use of the 'law', his mind was filled with thoughts like 'I am finally not alone', 'This little girl has the same talent as me', 'Geniuses like us are destined to be unacceptable to the world', but he ignored the real factors behind all this.
Now that Kira said this, I finally came to my senses.
The thousands of magic theories that he had ever learned emerged from the depths of his mind again, merging and calculating with each other. A bunch of strange data were quickly calculated under complicated formulas in an attempt to get a definite answer.
“How could it be…”
The result of the calculation proved that what Kira said was very likely. Although it was not 100%, it was a reason that he had never thought of.
But Jellal was Jellal after all. After shivering and taking deep breaths for several seconds, he calmed down his agitated mood.
"Whether or not this was the real reason that caused Mavis to be struck by the 'Anxelram Curse', in the final analysis, I was the one who taught her that immature 'law', so all of this is my responsibility, and I have never denied this from the beginning to the end."
After calming his mind, Jellal's IQ came back online, and he suddenly realized that what Kira said was actually not a big deal. At most, it just showed that he had been careless in the past.
"After the mistake was made, Mavis could no longer be restored to her original state, and since then, no one else around me has been cursed. So even if I know the reason now, what can I do?"
It's nothing more than more useless knowledge!
Jellal became disheartened and his tone turned cold.
Kira's eyelids jumped when he saw this: Good fellow! Your personality changes so quickly, and you change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. This must be you!
"Have you ever thought about killing God?"
"Since it is a curse from the gods, during these four hundred years, have you never tried any magic to kill the gods?"
Kira was very curious. Logically speaking, since killing magic was so famous and Zeref had already tried the devil's cursed power, it was impossible for him not to have collected and tried god-killing magic. However, he never mentioned it in the original work. Why was that?
"I tried, but it didn't work!"
Is that really the case?
Kira closed his eyes in regret.
Jellal half-closed his eyelids and said with regret, "Based on the conclusion I have drawn after traveling around the world for many years, 'gods' and 'gods' are different!"
In fact, he never shy away from talking about knowledge. Whether he was teaching magic to Mavis and others, or now facing Kira, he would explain patiently.
Of course, this mainly depends on their talents - if it were an ordinary person, Jellal would not even pay any attention to him.
"Long ago, people often referred to individuals with great power as 'gods', and incomprehensible phenomena and rules as 'god's curse' or 'god's instructions'. But in fact, they are probably not the same thing at all."
"It's like, I created the species of Atelias, and now I am immortal, so I can be considered a god in some ways, but I'm actually just a cursed human who has mastered special magic."
"For example, the Northern Continent has 'divine dragons', but in reality they are just dragons with great power."
"Among my subordinates, there are also descendants of the so-called 'God of Time'. Even though I have been investigating for many years, the final clue only stays in a hidden tribe that once worshipped the God of Time."
After giving three examples in a row, Zeref opened his eyes and looked at Kira in deep thought again.
"Perhaps in the distant past, there really was a race called 'gods', and later generations created 'god-killing magic' for some reason, but the curse on me is ineffective because it is not the same thing!"
Well, now there is really no clue to completely solve the "Curse of Anxelram".
If this couple wants to live a normal life, they can only rely on me!
Kira suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was holding the remote control of the big guys in his hand. As long as he pressed a button, something incredible would happen. If the other party wanted to maintain their original image in front of others, they would have to obey his orders...
“This feels really good~”
“What feels good?”
Zeref blinked his confused eyes. He didn't know why Kira, who was originally listening to his story confidently, suddenly smiled so sinisterly.
Why--!
I originally thought that this boy named Kira would be different from the others, but... As expected, except for Mavis, everyone in Fairy Tail is a group of weirdos!
Even my beloved younger brother is like this!
There is no such old saying as "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" in this world, so Jellal thinks that his vision is objective, dialectical, sharp, selfless and fair, but he doesn't realize that this is simply deceiving himself.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this!"
Kira didn't want to answer what he thought was good. How could he say such a thing to someone's face?
"If you just want to have a sense of participation in the Guild's Centennial Celebration, I think it's enough to stand here. If you really walk to the Guild, I can't guarantee what will happen."
Nonsense, if you saw Mavis, Auguste and the others here, wouldn’t that be a big deal?
After hearing what Kira said, Jellal's face darkened: Is this guy trying to provoke me? How bold! It seems that he still cares about what he said to kill me! How naive! If killing me was so easy, would I have to wait four hundred years? But his growth has indeed exceeded my imagination. Maybe he is the one with the best chance? If that day really comes, will I feel more regretful or more happy? Can I see you again after I die? Mavis...
In just a moment, Jellal thought of a lot of things.
Over the past few decades, he had had similar thoughts countless times, and without exception, he would always return to his memories of Mavis.
Jellal is sincere to Mavis. Even though she has been dead for many years, he still wants to merge with her and do something big. However, he has not made up his mind until the moment that decides his fate.
That was why he traveled around the world, intending to see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears, feel with his own body, and judge with his own heart, until he made the final choice - to continue to maintain this world with countless regrets, or to destroy this world that still had some warmth and good memories.
He has been walking like this for hundreds of years and will continue to do so because now is not the time for him to make a decision.
But today, let’s pause for a moment!
Suddenly, Jellal's demeanor changed, and his eyes became fierce. His pupils were like the whirlpool released by the god of death. The terrifying dark magic power leaked out crazily, releasing a fierce gust of wind around his body, blowing up his sleeves and hair. He looked like a big devil, and then he said something shocking!
"I understand. Since you are so confident, let me test your strength!"
Kira: “???”
Did something go wrong? Why did they have to fight while chatting? Is Zeref such a reckless person? Even if we are in Magnolia, the territory of Fairy Tail, he shouldn't lose his IQ all of a sudden!
"I mean, if you continue to stay here, someone will get hurt..."
"I know you are very confident in your own strength, but it's not that easy to hurt me!"
This guy doesn't listen to anyone at all!!
Has the brain that has been active for four hundred years finally broken down? ! !
"Calm down! If you keep going like this I'll have to do something!"
If this continues, I will have to escape!
"It seems like you can't wait... Then come on!"
“…”
Under Kira's confused gaze, Zeref activated his magic power and made a gesture with his hands in front of him. Then, an enormous black magic circle containing terrifying magic power appeared high in the sky above Magnolia, hovering above Kira's head like a death warrant.
Magic is brewing!
“Heavenly punishment…”
Just at this moment!
Two familiar figures rushed out from the alley beside the street.
"Zerf!!"
"Father... His Majesty the Emperor!!"
At this time and in this place, the only people who would call Jellal like that would be the man’s wife and children, that is, Mavis and Auguste!
The unexpected appearance of this person caused Jellal's magic power to drain out instantly. He stopped what he was doing, and the magic circle in the sky that gathered a huge amount of dark magic power also dissipated at the same time.
“Stop it!!!”
Jellal stared at the short figure as white as an angel, the girl with whom he had spent a wonderful August, with a look of disbelief on his face.
“Mavis…?!”
The crisis was resolved and Kira finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the family of three is together!
