"Understood!"

Zeref said, stepping past Mavis's body and heading towards the basement of Fairy Tail. First Master Mavis quickly followed.

"What are you doing, Zeref?!"

"What am I doing? I'm going to retrieve Fairy Heart, of course." Zeref said, having already arrived at the door leading to the basement where Fairy Heart was sealed. Seeing the magical seal on the door, Zeref shook his head in disdain.

This kind of seal was useless before him. With a wave of Zeref's hand, all the magical seals on the door were undone. The door slowly opened, and soon, it was completely open.

In the center of the hall was the body of Fairy Tail's First Master, Mavis, now sealed within a giant Lacrima crystal.

"Mavis... It's been nearly a hundred years since we last met. You haven't changed at all." Zeref said, approaching the sealed Mavis.

"Zeref, what do you really want to do? Do you want to obtain Fairy Heart and fight Acnologia? Why have you become like this?" Mavis asked, utterly confused.

This was completely different from the Zeref she knew. The Zeref she knew was a very kind person. To avoid hurting others, he even wanted to die. And to prevent Ankhseram's curse from activating, he always avoided areas where humans lived.

"You still don't understand why I've become like this?" Mavis was speechless. She had thought that she loved Zeref, so she had joined with him. But the result was that she almost lost her life.

That proved only one thing: Zeref had fallen in love with her.

But she had not loved Zeref!

Simply put, she had been betrayed by her lover.

"That's all in the past... Bringing it up now would only be self-humiliating. As for obtaining Fairy Heart to fight Acnologia, that's impossible..."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even if I obtain Fairy Heart, I still wouldn't be Acnologia's opponent. I thought that Acnologia was just a Dragon Slayer who devoured magic, meaning that any magic in this world would be unable to cause him any real harm."

"Even if I possessed even stronger, even more magic, it would be the same. No mage is Acnologia's opponent. But I forgot that he almost killed me back then, which also made him a demon. All the demons of the Book of Zeref have also been devoured by him."

"What?"

First Master Mavis couldn't believe it. Zeref looked at Mavis and said, "What do you mean? He can devour souls to become stronger?" Mavis widened her eyes in disbelief. Devour souls!

Wasn't that a demon? Or a dragon!

Now, even if they gathered the three great Slayer magic types—Devil Slayer, God Slayer, and Dragon Slayer—they would have no chance of winning. Unless a god descended!

"I only need to obtain Fairy Heart to be able to carry out my other plan."

"Another plan?"

Mavis was puzzled when she heard Zeref's words.

"Yes, another plan. This is a limit of space and time that I accidentally discovered last year."

"It stores a large amount of distorted space-time magic... And as long as I obtain Fairy Heart, I can use its infinite magic to travel through the gap of time and return to the past!"

"To a time when my parents and brother were still alive, when I was still young. Then I will no longer become the Black Wizard, and Acnologia will not appear. That way, I can save the whole world!"

Mavis looked at Zeref.

"You must know about the time paradox. Even if you return to the past, that past will not be your present past!!"

"But what does that matter? What does this world have to do with me? This world has always rejected me. Am I supposed to protect it? There is nothing left for me to care about in this world. But I will save another world. Don't you think this is the best choice?"

"You're just running away!"

Zeref smiled faintly. "Say what you will. I will start a new life on my own. I won't be traveling with you. It sounds despicable, but who told you to abandon me once before? I truly loved you, but you deceived me. I won't hate you. After all, how could someone as sinful as me be loved by anyone?"

"Goodbye, Mavis. I truly did love you." Zeref said, preparing to absorb Fairy Heart. But then he seemed to remember something.

"Also, I'll tell you one more thing. Although we won't meet in other worlds, in this world, we had a son... Unfortunately, he never enjoyed our love."

"What?" Mavis was momentarily stunned. There was indeed someone outside who had a connection to her. She had thought it was some demon Zeref had created. But it turned out to be their son!

"He's right outside. Based on what you told me, Precht must have abandoned him. He has a power that belongs neither to darkness nor light. He also never told me he was our son. But he didn't expect that he could use that connection to know. As a powerful Black Wizard."

"How could I not know?"

...

At this time, the Fairy Tail guildhall was in complete ruins. Everyone had witnessed what true strength was. Irene stood facing Erza.

It wasn't just Irene who had noticed. Everyone else had, too. Because Erza and Irene were far too similar.

Adding on their faces, which were more than 90% similar, anyone would believe they were related.

They never expected that what was supposed to be a celebration of Lisanna's return and the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial would turn into a family reunion!

The First Master and the Black Wizard Zeref were actually lovers.

Natsu had the highest seniority!

The First Master was Natsu sister-in-law!

"Who are you?" Erza demanded of Irene. She had a slight guess.

But she didn't want to believe it. And right now, the Master, in order to protect them, had used his Giant magic to withstand a wave of attacks, and most of them had fainted!

Whether they were alive or dead was unknown. Only a few of them could still fight!

Irene smiled. "Haven't you already more or less figured it out? You just don't want to admit it. That's right, I'm your biological mother."

"Irene Belserion!!"

Erza shouted, "No, my only parents in this life are the Master."

"Not admitting it? It doesn't matter. Actually, I don't want to acknowledge a daughter like you either. But since we've met like this, why don't we have a little chat? How has your life been all these years?"

Erza said, "How my life has been has nothing to do with you. I have nothing to say to you. Anyone who is an enemy of the guild is my enemy. No exceptions."

Irene said, slowly touching the scar on her abdomen, "It seems our personalities are quite similar. Anyone who opposes our Alvarez Empire is also my enemy. But you are luckier than me. Your father was a man who raised his sword and declared he would kill me. You see this scar on my abdomen? He did this. If his aim had been a little more accurate back then, I believe you wouldn't have been born."

"What?"

Erza was shocked. No matter who it was, they wouldn't remain calm hearing such news.

"You seem a little interested. Then let me tell you how you came into this world. Just consider it a mother's final act of kindness to her child." Suddenly, Erza's field of vision changed. She found herself in a very ancient place. The clothes people wore were clearly very different from those of the present.

"Where is this?"

"Don't worry, I'm just attaching a part of my memories to you." Soon, Erza experienced a different life from a first-person perspective. She also learned of her origin.

She also understood the pain and suffering her biological mother had experienced. It didn't seem to matter how long it had been. It seemed like only an instant in reality. Erza's consciousness returned to her own body.

She was shocked. She hadn't expected to have such an origin. Of course, even knowing this didn't affect her much. She, along with Wendy, Natsu, and Gajeel, had unusual origins.

"It was very painful, wasn't it? This is just a part of what I experienced, and also the process of how you came into this world. Do you hate me?" Irene asked.

"No, on the contrary, I should thank you. If you hadn't abandoned me back then, I wouldn't have met my current family!" Erza replied.

"I see. You really are living a life of luxury and happiness. I'm so jealous that I want to destroy it with my own hands." Erza drew her sword, pointing it at Irene. "I won't let you destroy it."

Irene smiled. "Drawing your sword against your own birth mother? What an unfilial daughter. But it doesn't matter. With my constitution, even if your children and your children's children die, I will still be alive. There's no need for you to provide for me in my old age."

"But fine. Since I gave you life, I should also be the one to end it."

Irene raised her staff, and the air immediately began to burn.

A gigantic fireball slammed towards Erza.

"Heavenly Body Magic!"

A horrifying explosion occurred. Irene didn't show any mercy to her own daughter. Her attacks were incredibly powerful.

"Hmm?" Irene's expression shifted slightly in surprise. The explosion dissipated, revealing Erza, completely unharmed, holding her sword in a defensive stance. She was clad in crimson armor.

"To be able to take a direct hit from me and survive, it seems my daughter is quite capable."

Erza shouted, "Don't talk to me with a mother's tone. Requip: Black Wing Armor!"

Erza changed into her Black Wing Armor, increasing her speed as she thrust towards Irene. Irene raised her staff, effortlessly blocking Erza's attack. "Don't think that just because I'm holding a staff, I'm not proficient in close combat. When I fought alongside dragons, you didn't even exist."

As she spoke, Irene raised her staff, engaging in a sword duel with Erza, as if to demonstrate who was the superior swordswoman.

Erza, too, fought back without hesitation. Soon, Erza's superior skill began to show, putting Irene on the back foot.

This made Irene's expression darken.

If this continued, she would be the one to lose face. Suddenly, Irene seized an opening, her body moving backwards as she grabbed at the air. The ground suddenly exploded.

"Aaaahhh!" Erza was caught in the explosion. Fortunately, her armor provided some defense, so her injuries weren't severe enough to affect her combat ability. However, her Black Wing Armor couldn't be used until it was repaired.

"This is the first lesson a mother teaches her child: don't believe that your enemy will always fight you in close combat. To win, you must be willing to do whatever it takes."

"Hmph, there's no need for you to teach me my principles."

Seeing that her attack hadn't been effective, Erza's expression remained unchanged. She leaped backwards, Re-quipping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Over a hundred magic swords floated around her.

"Heaven's Wheel: Blumenblatt!"

Whoosh!

One sword after another shot towards Irene at high speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then, Irene raised her staff and waved it, causing all the swords to melt away as if they had never existed. Irene raised her hand, aiming at Erza in the air, and unleashed beams of magical energy.

"Holy Ray!"

Erza quickly dodged, simultaneously closing in on Irene. In the blink of an eye, Erza had reached Irene. Irene's expression shifted slightly.

....

Nearby, two other monstrous beings were engaged in a fierce battle. Even in this state, Gildarts had a slight advantage.

After all, he was in his prime, and unlike in the original story, his body was completely unharmed.

Whoosh!

Gildarts clenched his fist, then punched towards August. The space in front of his fist, including the ground, fractured. August immediately erected a magic barrier in front of him.

However, all the barriers shattered instantly. August was sent flying, sustaining some injuries from Gildarts' attack.

'Even at the same speed, his attacks are so much more powerful!' He finally understood what Gildarts had meant earlier. Against this kind of Crush magic, he couldn't simply rely on copying his opponent's magic.

If he did, he would still have to clash head-on. And right now, his state of mind wasn't optimal.

Whoosh!

Gildarts, like a cannonball, instantly charged at the Magic King, August immediately conjured a massive light blast, firing it at the rampaging Gildarts. Seeing the state of his guildmates, he was enraged.

"Melting Light Pillar!"

As soon as August unleashed the light blast, he immediately cast another spell. If copying magic alone could defeat an opponent, then what was the point of all those years of training?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground exploded, and a massive pillar of light shot towards the sky. The sheer magical power of the attack was astonishing, and it was being cast so quickly.

The members of Fairy Tail were shocked. If Gildarts hadn't been there, they couldn't imagine what would have happened if they had faced this man. Gildarts emerged from the explosion.

He punched at August, who seemed to have anticipated it. A third spell was already prepared. A dazzling current flowed along his staff, striking Gildarts.

Crack! Crack!

A horrifying explosion erupted where they collided. The battlefield seemed to be torn apart by the force of the impact. The ground cracked, and fissures spread outwards. Many were caught in the shockwave, sent flying.

After a while, the tremors subsided. The wind blew away the last of the dust, revealing a massive crater hundreds of meters in diameter where they had clashed.

Boom!! 

August's body radiated a horrifying magical power, a fusion of light and darkness.

His skin turned crimson.

This was his Battle Form.
