Chapter 18: The Oración Seis Subjugation
Yumesaki saw that Jellal was truly panicked this time.
He originally thought victory was within his grasp, but the result was that he found Erza's strength to be far beyond his imagination, pushing him into desperate situations several times.
Under the feeling of helplessness, Jellal could only unleash his full power to wipe out everyone all at once.
Yumesaki slowly raised his hand, aiming directly at Jellal.
Right at the moment he intended to interfere.
Erza suddenly executed a teleportation and appeared from empty space right in front of Jellal.
That black hole radiated a terrifying suction force, aiming to suck Erza away and then reduce her to ashes.
But right at this split second, Erza suddenly slashed with her sword.
With her hand movement speed being incredibly fast, as swift as lightning and thunder, just as the black hole was about to suck her away, this single sword accurately slashed against Jellal.
However, Jellal was not split into two pieces.
This was because Erza held back; she did not slash using the blade's edge, but rather struck using the flat of the sword.
No, this could no longer be called a slash, but rather a blunt strike.
This single sword struck down and still hit Jellal's head. He let out a muffled cracking impact sound, and his entire body suddenly staggered backward a few steps, then the black hole above his head collapsed in an instant, until finally his entire brain became dazed and the world spun.
The dome above his head seemed to crash down, and he could not stand steadily at all.
Yumesaki seeing that situation could not help but click his tongue once; this move was truly too ruthless.
Erza really did not show the slightest bit of mercy, did she?
Jellal, who was struck, swayed backward a few steps, collapsed onto the ground with a thud, and sank into a baby-like sleep.
Huh, is it over?
Lucy looked at the disappearing black hole and widened her mouth, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
Jellal, who was just so incredible moments ago, why did he suddenly kneel down just like that? Isn't this too childish?
He panicked, Yumesaki explained.
Huh? Lucy did not understand the reason.
Yumesaki continued his words: In the battle just now, he was pressed hard by Erza, therefore he unleashed all his strength, wanting to wipe out everyone present at the scene all at once.
Humans, you see, once they panic, they will reveal an opening.
Erza exploited this opening, took a dangerous step, and engaged in direct close combat. Only in that way could she defeat Jellal.
Just now Erza suddenly appeared right in front of Jellal's face. If she had been a second late, she would have been sucked in by the black hole above his head, swallowed by it, and turned to ashes.
But she still did it.
Jellal did not expect Erza could actually be so crazy, therefore he lost.
Looking at the unconscious Jellal, Erza raised the sword in her hand, aiming it right at his throat, as if wanting to pierce down.
However, she hesitated a few times, and from beginning to end, she did not manage to kill him ruthlessly.
Yumesaki walked over, patting her shoulder with a smile, If you cannot bring yourself to do it, then just forget about it. There is no need to force yourself. Besides, in the end, doesn't he clear his name later on?
Erza for a moment did not know what was best.
Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Cana, and several others also walked over, successively advising Erza.
Hearing these words, Erza ultimately decided to take Jellal back and hand him over to the Magic Council for processing.
As for Sho, Millianna, Simon, and the others, they were also gathered by Erza.
Erza recounted the experiences of this group of people, as well as the causes and effects of the matter, explaining everything to everyone.
However, everyone actually did not dare to believe it; they were very afraid this was Erza's lie.
After all, Erza in their eyes was a traitor. How could the words spoken by a traitor be trusted?
What Erza said is all true.
Right at this moment, Simon stood up, telling the truth of the matter to everyone.
Everyone only then realized it suddenly. After all, Simon was in the same group as them, so he had no need to lie to them.
How could Jellal behave like that? He is really too evil.
Millianna, knowing the suffering Erza went through, immediately lunged into Erza's embrace and wept bitterly.
Leaving Erza laughing in confusion, she could only hug Millianna and soothe the other party with a soft voice and comforting words.
As for Sho, he knelt on the ground while making a thudding sound, begging for Erza's forgiveness.
Of course, Erza forgave him as well.
Yumesaki did not have any interest in this kind of drama. On the contrary, he had a great interest in the Tower of Heaven, therefore he began to walk around making a tour inside the Tower of Heaven.
The Tower of Heaven was actually the Dark Magic R-System created by Zeref.
From the outside, it looked like a tower, but in reality, it was a massive pile of Magic Crystals. It needed to undergo the firing of Etherion and absorb 2.7 billion concepts of magic power to activate the system.
This thing was also known as the resurrection system, a forbidden Dark Magic that utilized living humans as sacrifices just to bring the dead back to life.
In theory, this thing could revive anyone.
In the original plotline, Jellal arranged a plan intending to utilize this thing to revive Zeref.
What a pity, though, he had absolutely no idea that Zeref had long since been cursed by a god, living a long life without aging or dying.
Therefore, even if Jellal truly activated the Tower of Heaven, it would still be impossible to revive someone who was not dead.
But even so, Yumesaki remained interested in this object.
Reviving a person who had died four hundred years ago, even Yumesaki could not do that.
Therefore, this object was very useful.
Yumesaki searched Jellal's memories, finding from among them the entire knowledge regarding the R-System.
How should one put it.
Although the Tower of Heaven could revive people, the preparation in the early period was truly too complicated. Just to build this tower alone required several years.
Moreover, when activated, it still demanded a massive amount of magic power, enough magic power to destroy a nation.
A pure grand-scale magic marvel based on high power standards.
Yumesaki estimated that his future self would unlikely use this thing, but the concepts inside it were certainly worth absorbing a little by Yumesaki.
Not long after, the matter of the Tower of Heaven came to an end.
Yumesaki's group then returned to Fairy Tail.
As for Jellal, he was naturally taken by Erza's group to the Magic Council.
Subsequently, what kind of punishment Jellal would receive no longer had any connection to Yumesaki.
Yumesaki immersed himself in the research of the R-System.
Regarding Sho, Millianna, and the others, just like the original plotline, after saying goodbye to Erza, they left Fairy Tail.
And they did not join the Fairy Tail guild.
This made Erza very helpless, but in the end, she still respected the choices of her friends.
In the blink of an eye, another dozen or so days passed.
Within this period of time, Fairy Tail could be said to be calm without waves, and very peaceful.
According to the rules, after the Tower of Heaven Arc concluded, next would be the battle within the guild arc.
But what a pity, because Laxus received a warning from his own grandfather Makarov and was not allowed near the guild within three months, the battle within the guild up until now showed no signs of being triggered at all.
Instead, Juvia the rain woman and Gajeel the iron dragon were invited by Makarov and joined Fairy Tail.
Very clearly, the old man who had seen the plotline began to exert his power, striving hard to bring the plotline back to its track.
The only change was Juvia, the rain goddess, who did not seem to be as overly dependent on Gray as in the original plotline.
Meanwhile, Gajeel also did not develop a mutual acquaintance, so he did not care after fighting with Levy.
As for whether the two of them could walk together in the future, only heaven knew.
Yumesaki saw all of this in his eyes, but had no thoughts of changing it.
On this day, Makarov returned from a meeting at the Council, gathering everyone together to announce a matter.
The subjugation of the Oración Seis had been put on the agenda, deciding to unite several guilds to wipe out all of these Oración Seis.
He also recounted the abilities, personalities, and past matters of the Oración Seis to everyone present at the scene.
Shocking everyone until they were stunned.
Gray could not help but comment: This information is just too detailed, isn't it? Since when did the Council act so decisively?
This was equivalent to digging up the old foundation of the Oración Seis entirely.
With the existence of this information, the danger of the Oración Seis instantly decreased by several levels.
Makarov looked at Yumesaki expressionlessly and said calmly: Long story short, the matter is more or less like this. Next, it will trouble you all to go and join up with the people from the other guilds to wipe out the Oración Seis together.
Natsu pumped his fist excitedly, I am fired up! Old man, this subjugation, there should be a part for me, right?
Makarov nodded, This time I intend to send you few people, namely Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy, Gajeel, and Yumesaki, to go together.
Begging for your help to ensure we wipe out the Oración Seis all at once.
Yumesaki did not refuse, because he was very interested in the magic of the Oración Seis.
Therefore, the group of people set out, heading toward the meeting place.
This time, the guilds acting together with Fairy Tail totaled three.
Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Cait Shelter.
Particularly Lamia Scale, they even sent a mage of the Wizard Saint level... Jura Neekis.
Of course, people who had seen the plotline all knew that although this Jura's appearance was very impressive, because his disposition was too honest, not long after his appearance, he was immediately caught off guard by Angel among the Oración Seis using the Celestial Spirit Gemini to conduct a sudden attack, causing him to be injured and his prestige to instantly fall shattered on the ground.
However, this did not hinder the strength of the other party.
Especially when he finally fought the leader of the Oración Seis, Brain, and managed to defeat him, it also proved that this Wizard Saint-level mage was not truly weak.
By the way, Jura's magic was not any powerful magic, but rather a very ordinary Earth Magic.
He was able to control stones at will, and could also make the ground harden and then control it at will.
Yet it was precisely an ordinary magic like this that made him a Wizard Saint-level mage.
This was enough to explain that the other party had long since played this ordinary magic until it produced uniqueness.
Yumesaki was highly curious about this.
Not long after, the Fairy Tail party, with Yumesaki's assistance, arrived at the gathering place.
At a luxurious villa.
Because Yumesaki went through the Door Door Fruit, their group could be considered the first guild to arrive here.
The members of the other guilds had not arrived yet.
Therefore, everyone conducted exploration inside the villa.
Yumesaki and Erza were in the same group, and he asked with great curiosity, Do you think the ones sent by Lamia Scale this time will still be Lyon and Sherry?
In the original plotline, after Lyon and Gray reconciled on Galuna Island, they ultimately joined Lamia Scale.
But this time, because of Yumesaki and Erza's intervention, it caused Natsu and Gray to never go to Galuna Island at all.
Regarding the problem on top of the island, they knew absolutely nothing.
Lyon also had not reconciled with Gray, therefore whether the two of them would join this Oración Seis subjugation journey this time, Yumesaki truly possessed a bit of curiosity.
