Chapter 30 Zeref Isn't Dead, So What Are You Trying to Revive?
🕑 Added 2025-10-31 23:08:32 +0000 UTCTop floor of the Tower of Heaven, Jellal in black robes leaned casually on his throne with one hand.
At this moment, he was manipulating the Council meeting through his Thought Projection, Siegrain.
‘Just one more vote!’
‘Now, as long as one more council member voted in favor of launching Etherion at the Tower of Heaven, the Council would use Etherion to attack the Tower of Heaven.’
‘At that time, the Tower of Heaven would absorb the vast magical power within Etherion, truly completing the R-System capable of reviving the dead.’
Just as Siegrain was urging the hesitant council members, a guard rushed to the top floor of the Tower of Heaven flusteredly and reported to Jellal on the throne: "Jellal-sama, the Fairy Tail mages have fought their way up!"
Jellal seemed to ignore the guard's report.
His attention was entirely focused on the Council Meeting.
A few seconds later, through Siegrain's urging, a council member raised their hand.
Seeing this, a curve appeared at the corner of Jellal's mouth.
"It's all over!"
Bang-
As soon as Jellal finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Ah! Ah!-
Accompanied by two screams, the bodies of two guards flew inward.
Jellal's expression didn't change as he looked up.
He saw a black-haired man in a black cloak walking in leisurely.
"Jellal-sama, it's this man!"
The guard who had reported first looked at Kenichi who had broken in and spoke to Jellal with fear.
"Step aside!"
Jellal looked at Kenichi and called out to the guard.
After the guard stepped aside, Kenichi walked to the center of the hall, stopped, and locked eyes with Jellal on the throne.
"Kenichi?!"
Jellal looked at Kenichi before him, an interested expression appearing on his face.
Seeing that Jellal actually recognized him, Kenichi's eyebrows raised in surprise.
But he quickly understood.
Back on Galuna Island, he had fought Ultear.
Kenichi knew that the crystal ball Ultear used had a long-distance projection function.
According to Kenichi's guess, Jellal had already seen his fight with Ultear clearly through the crystal ball.
So it wasn't strange that Jellal recognized him now.
"If you had come a few minutes earlier, I might have played with you. But now, unfortunately, it's all over!"
Jellal stood up from the throne, spread his arms, and spoke to Kenichi with the demeanor of a victor.
Bzzzt-
As soon as Jellal finished speaking, a huge magical vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tower of Heaven.
"That is..."
Kenichi looked up at the magic-filled vortex in the sky, his expression changing slightly.
"That is Etherion. Once it falls, the entire Tower of Heaven will be destroyed!"
Jellal glanced at Kenichi, then looked up at the sky and spoke in a fanatical tone.
‘Lie, keep lying!’
‘You sure are full of bullshit.’
If someone else were here, they might believe Jellal's words.
But Kenichi knew that after Etherion fell, not only would the Tower of Heaven not be destroyed, it would be truly completed.
Then, under Kenichi's watchful eye and Jellal's anticipation, a massive pillar of magical light shot down from the vortex.
In just an instant, the enormous pillar of magical light struck the Tower of Heaven.
At that moment, an incredibly dazzling light erupted over the sea where the Tower of Heaven stood.
It was originally night…
But under the illumination of this brilliant light, the entire sky became as bright as day.
This dazzling light lasted for several seconds.
A few seconds later, the light dissipated.
The Tower of Heaven was not destroyed.
And the people inside the Tower of Heaven were also safe and sound.
"Hahahaha! Those fools in the Council! The Tower of Heaven has absorbed the vast magical power of 270 million concepts! Only now is it truly complete!"
At this moment, Jellal seemed to go mad, suddenly laughing heartily towards the sky.
Amid Jellal's maniacal laughter, large cracks appeared on the surface of the vast Tower of Heaven.
Crack, crack-
Immediately after, the outer surface of the Tower of Heaven completely fell away, and a magical crystal in the shape of a tall tower was fully exposed to the air.
And this enormous magical crystal was the true form of the R-System.
"Kenichi, is that guy Jellal?"
Soon, a familiar voice came through the air.
Following the sound, they saw Natsu and Gray rushing towards them.
"Natsu, son of a dragon. Now, with only Erza missing, everyone is here!"
Jellal looked at Natsu and Gray rushing over, then continued: "Next, let me show you with your own eyes the end of one era and the dawn of another!"
With that, Jellal directly threw the guard behind him into the magical crystal of the R-System.
It seemed he intended to use the guard's life as a sacrifice to resurrect Zeref.
"Natsu!"
Gray was the first to disagree with Jellal's plan to resurrect Zeref.
After calling out to Natsu, he directly launched an attack on Jellal.
Immediately after, Natsu also charged forward.
But Kenichi wasn't in a hurry to act.
After all, the current Jellal wasn't in his complete form.
Only when Jellal merged with his Thought Projection, Siegrain, would Jellal's strength be fully restored.
Furthermore, Zeref wasn't even dead.
Kenichi also wanted to see what exactly this so-called R-System would end up reviving.
While Kenichi was thinking, Natsu and Gray had already engaged in a fierce battle with Jellal.
Because the power possessed by Jellal's main body was very small, he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
[Ice-Make: Knuckle!]
[Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!]
Gray and Natsu simultaneously threw punches, directly hitting Jellal.
Bang! Bang!-
Taking the heavy blows, Jellal's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.
At the same time, the system's mechanical prompt sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +5]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +4]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Combat Power attribute +0.3]
…
"What's going on? Why is this guy so weak?"
After sending Jellal flying, Natsu and Gray looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.
After all, on the way, Erza, Simon, and the others had repeatedly emphasized that Jellal was very strong.
But now, Jellal's strength was completely different from what they had said.
"That's because I haven't shown my true strength yet!"
Just then, a voice came from another direction.
Following the sound, they saw a man who looked exactly like Jellal walk out.
The difference was that Jellal wore black robes.
And the man approaching wore white.
"What's going on? Why does this guy look exactly like Jellal?"
Natsu looked at the white-clothed Jellal before him, his face full of confusion.
"Because we are the same person!"
The black-robed Jellal walked over, stood with the white-clothed Jellal, and said to Natsu.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Kenichi, Natsu, and Gray, the white-clothed Jellal and the black-robed Jellal directly merged into one.
Bzzzt-
At this moment, both Natsu and Gray could feel that the Jellal before them contained an immensely vast magical power, completely different from before.
And Kenichi also looked at Jellal before him and said with a face full of fighting spirit: "Finally regained the power of a Wizard Saint, huh?"
