Chapter 337, The Truth of the Magic Abyss
The Abyss of Magic.
Before those guys appeared, Yefrit really thought it was just a realm.
It was not until Asa told him that a group of people similar to Zeref appeared that he realized that this world has an extremely ancient history.
When I watched the animation in my previous life, I only remembered that there was a history of more than 700 years.
But that refers to the history after the Alchemy Age, when the dragons dominated and then humans regained their status.
What about before that?
The Alchemy Age lasted for nearly 500 years, and the master Herames was born.
And what about before the Alchemy Age?
In the past, not to mention Zeref, even Yefrit had never thought about this question, mainly because it was meaningless. It happened so long ago. This is not his previous life. Thousands of years of history can be clearly written in books. This is a magical world, but the disappearance of a civilization and an era is very thorough.
The first pioneer - the great sage.
Every era will breed at least one or two great sages.
Herames in the Alchemy Age
Acnologia and Zeref, the final products of the Dragon Age, are the great sages of the last age. Although Acnologia's brain is a fool to the great sages, he is indeed the ultimate dragon and the final product of the dragon civilization. As for Zeref, he lives in what can perhaps be called the Lost Magic Age.
The last four hundred years are an age. Compared with the Lost Magic, it is a more prosperous ordinary magic civilization age. The great sage of this age is Yevlit.
These great sages have common characteristics, and are even surprisingly similar.
With extremely high IQ, they are at the top, and one step closer to being gods.
Yevlit even thought a little presumptuously - gods may be the great sages who set foot in the end in the distant ancient times.
God - according to Yevlit's research, it is something similar to the concept of demons.
Demons are aggregates of magic power. Powerful demons are the embodiment of a law and a natural phenomenon, such as wind and rain, typhoons and tsunamis.
And gods - are also a greater natural phenomenon, the embodiment of a concept and rules.
So——
Zerff and Acnologia took the wrong path. Demons like Herames are the right path.
But unfortunately——
The god Yefrit made a prophecy about Herames, but there was no prophecy about her becoming a god.
As for why Yefrit studied the existence of gods to such an extent, it was because the third stage of his fraud magic just happened to be consistent with the existence of gods.
Of course, that was only temporary. If it continued, Yefrit could become a god.
But he would not do that for three reasons.
First, God was right——this world could not bear another god, especially the godhood he would have, which would completely destroy the world, which he did not want to see.
Second, he could no longer truly become a god, because his tricks made Yefrit in a parallel universe complete the prophecy on his behalf. Without the prophecy power, Yefrit could not become a god now. To become a god, the price is that the whole world will offer big fireworks for the birth of the "new god"——real big fireworks.
Third, looking at those poor, immortal great sages, he hated the long and miserable life even more.
Yes——
Zerf and Acnologia entered the abyss of magic, and the great sages of all generations were there.
Even if God didn't like Zeref back then, he still cheated Zeref.
Because compared to that——
He disliked Yevlit even more.
There is more than one God.
Obviously, the God who helped Yevlit last time and the God who helped Zeref did not reach an agreement.
The power of immortality of the immortal great sages.
This reminded Yevlit of a recorded God.
God Anxseram, the God who controls life and death.
If he doesn't like Yevlit, it's reasonable.
After all, Zeref angered him just to resurrect his brother.
And Yevlit resurrected many people one after another, which is a slap in the face of this God.
Moreover——God Anxseram is also the only God that Zeref can contact and may help him.
The immortal great sages may be the prisoners he imprisoned.
So——
The magic abyss that everyone pursues, the place that Hades dreams of reaching, is actually a prison!
"It's here."
Yevlit stood at the entrance of the cave.
In order to receive Zeref and Akunologia, the ancient great sages placed the entrance to the abyss here-the magic abyss itself is similar to the God-forsaken land of Herames, in another small space and time.
As soon as Yevlit approached.
A voice came from inside.
"Yevlit, God did not allow you to come in here."
Yevlit was a little surprised, he was using fraud magic.
He said, "I'm curious about what you are going to teach Jellal and the others. Can't you let me in to see? It's not fair to me."
The answer came from inside: "Let them evolve to perfection. This is our ultimate mission."
"God has said that as long as we accomplish this, he will set us free."
"The end is finally coming. I've waited for countless ages. Woo woo woo." A great sage even cried.
When a group of people who are good at research reach the top, but are unable to take that step, and then live in the world doing nothing for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without being able to leave this prison, that kind of eternal life is too painful.
You can tell just by looking at Zeref, he has only lived for so long and he wants to die.
And each of these great sages has experienced no less pain than him, and they persist to this day - it's not persistence, it's mainly because they have no choice but to die.
Now, finally, the opportunity has come.
They were so eager to complete the mission, so they were so proud that they also ignored "fairness" and refused to allow Everit to enter the abyss of magic.
At this time, Mi Ke took a step forward and said: "But this was also my research institute - it contains my ultimate legacy."
"Heramus. It's a pity that your memory is not complete. Otherwise, I would like to see how powerful a wise man is who can reach such a point like you." A sighing voice came from inside.
"It is undeniable that even among us, your wisdom is among the best. If you had not been deceived by this man, you would be the one who would become the new god."
Miko said arrogantly: "I had no interest in becoming a god. Is that your obsession? That is not the obsession of me and Everit."
If Everit had gone to find Heramus when she was a child.
It was not Heramus who first said that Everit was a god, but Everit who said that Heramus was a god first, then the content of the prophecy would be completely opposite.
Even among the great sages who are closest to God, there are only one or two in an era.
Not to mention gods, how many great sages there are here means how many eras have not given birth to gods.
It was only in the past few eras that there was finally a chance of a god being born again.
The extinction of each era is quite complete, so it is difficult for each civilization to inherit the legacy of the previous civilization and then go further.
Not to mention, the last two eras have the same magic civilization. However, in this era, the magic in the past is called lost magic and has become a rarity, so there will be more lost magic.
Dragon-slaying magic will also become the lost magic of this era - because there will be no more dragons in Ishgar in the future. The dragon-slaying magic can at most be passed on to Natsu's children, and the probability of it being passed on to any further generation is even lower. It's very small, but in the end the powerful dragon-slaying magic cannot avoid the fate of disappearing.
If Lucy's child cannot inherit the Celestial Spirit Key - without talent in this area, Celestial Spirit Magic will also be lost.
Therefore, every era almost starts from scratch instead of adding up.
Neither are the modern great sages stronger than those of the past.
It’s not that the great sages of ancient times were stronger than they are now.
Stepping into the abyss of magic means immortality, and being wise enough to learn all the knowledge in the world. There will no longer be any gap in force and knowledge between these great sages. It is equivalent to everyone getting full marks in all subjects.
And now.
These great sages have imparted all the knowledge of countless eras to Zeref and Acnologia—mainly Zeref. Acnologia may not have the brains.
"Perhaps, I can write a joke and submit it." Everit sarcastically said.
"Twelve Shields asked: Your Majesty, what have you been doing these days."
"Zerf said: I'm going to do some research."
"Twelve Shields asked again: Your Excellency Acunologia, are you doing research too?"
"Akunologia said: I am going to be studied."
"Yevrit!!!" Acnologia's roar came from inside. Apparently Everit was right, he was really being studied.
In other words, Zeref's upgrade and evolution was his initiative, while Acnologia's was passive, just like Zeref was dressing himself, while he was lying on the bed and being touched by a group of old antiques.
"Leave here, Everit. No matter what you say today, we will not let you in. We are not your teachers, and we have the right to refuse to teach you." A great sage advised.
"What's more," another great sage continued: "You only have less than eighty years left in your life. If you can defeat Zeref, there will be nothing that can cause you trouble in this era. , you should use this time to enjoy your life as you wish, instead of studying the knowledge of us old antiques."
"You succeeded in convincing me." Yevrit nodded and continued, "But you still pissed me off."
"We have already expected that you can kill us now, which goes against your plan and fairness. We are very self-aware. Even if we are also great sages, there are great sages who can become gods and great sages who cannot become gods. Or, it’s a dimensional level gap.”
"We are not afraid."
"I've had enough of this already."
"Being able to use our lives to witness the birth of an evil god is not a disadvantage."
"Do it if you can, Everit, and let the whole world see whether you should continue to live as a human being in the era you live in."
Have to admit.
Their words really hit on Everit's weakness.
Now is not the time for him to take action.
And this group of people really are not afraid of death, and some even want to die.
Take Zeref for example, he really wants to die, of course - he must die in a worthwhile way.
He took away Heramus, Everit, and Acnologia, and then was killed by the creatures he created. What a magnificent achievement.
If he was killed in the palace by Yevlit's sneak attack, he would die with regret.
Yevlit slowly drew out his long sword, and Miko hugged him and grabbed his hand.
No matter how strong Yevlit's fighting power is, it will not be physical. If he wants to burst out powerful physical fighting power, he still needs Miko's help.
'Boom'
A knife cut down.
The whole cave was destroyed.
The legacy of Herames was also destroyed, and at the same time, the gate of the magic abyss was also destroyed.
And there was a terrible slash, which came from Yevlit's magic and Herames's power, rushing into the magic abyss.
'Puff'
Everyone inside was cut by a knife.
"What a bad-tempered guy." The great sages smiled and shook their heads.
"Who has not been like this before." A great sage said.
"Yes-"
Everyone nodded.
Who has not been so arrogant before.
The difference is that because of the long years, even though they are the ultimate existences in this world, they have now become humble and pitiful people who want to die.
Yefrit turned and left, saying: "Asa, watch this place, except for Zeref and Acnologia, whoever sets foot in the world will be killed."
He was a little angry.
This was the first time he wanted to enter a place and was rejected.
He used fraud magic, and it was obvious that for the great sages, the second-stage fraud magic was nothing great, and they all had ways to see through it.
From this, it can be inferred.
Zeref and Acnologia will learn from them how to completely crack the second-level and lower fraud magic.
But so what.
The third-level fraud magic - when Yefrit appears in front of Zeref again, it will be the end of everything, and he will no longer perform insignificant magic for Zeref.
The Fairy Tail Guild in Ishgar suddenly published a report.
This report quickly spread throughout the continent - not only in the magic world, but also in the ordinary people.
Because the emperor of the Albares Empire in the Western Continent was arrogant, lustful, and extremely greedy, they kidnapped Emily and Yevlit to study their fraudulent magic and humiliate Emily.
This is the information that a wizard of Fairy Tail exchanged his life for. The member named Dorabart used to work in the Magic Council. He was an excellent wizard serving civilians, but he died miserably in order to pass on information. In the photo, he died miserably.
"The Western Continent? Those bastards!"
"I've heard of the Albares Empire, it's an evil empire!"
"The report says their emperor is Zeref!"
"Zeref, the most evil black wizard in history, is indeed him!"
"Emily, our angel, this kind of thing must not be tolerated!"
"Save Emily!"
"Save our angel!"
"Is it that serious? Because one person may trigger a war between two continents, and many people will die."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard!"
"Emily is an angel!"
"If we don't take effective measures for Emily's experience, we will abandon the angels, abandon the kindness and gratitude of human nature, and we will lose the favor of God!"
