Chapter 62: The Dead Hold No Value!
Soon, the war between the two major guilds attracted the attention of the Magic Council.
In fact, the Magic Council had already known about the news on the first day when Ren and the others destroyed numerous Phantom Lord branches.
That same day, the Magic Council proposed expelling Fairy Tail from the ranks of light guilds.
But it was blocked by one of the council members.
Moreover, the current Chairman of the Magic Council was a moderate (dove) and naturally didn't plan to send troops to stop the two guilds.
He originally intended to send two representatives to dissuade the two guilds and resolve the conflict between them.
Unexpectedly, within just two days, before the Magic Council could take any action, Fairy Tail had completely annihilated most of Phantom Lord's branches.
Phantom Lord attacked Magnolia and nearly wiped out Fairy Tail.
Although most members were not in the guild at the time, the Magic Council didn't know this.
In the post-event investigation, the hawks in the Magic Council persistently wanted to punish Fairy Tail severely.
At the very least, they wanted to arrest all the key figures of this war.
However, Makarov threw all the blame onto Phantom Lord and handed over some captured Phantom Lord members to the Magic Council.
Seeing that things had reached this point, the current Chairman of the Council naturally went along with the flow.
Previously in the Kingdom of Fiore, Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord were the two legendary mage guilds standing side by side.
But in recent years, a large number of outstanding mages had emerged in Fairy Tail, coupled with the addition of powerful individuals like Ren, Erza, Gildarts, and Laxus.
This took Fairy Tail's strength to a higher level, and the Magic Council had always turned a blind eye to Fairy Tail.
For Fairy Tail members who often made mistakes, they only gave verbal warnings or criticisms without much punishment.
The most they did was try to arrest Erza last time because things got too heated.
In contrast, although Phantom Lord was strong, it had too many mages under its banner.
This resulted in a mixed bag of members within the guild, plus Jose and Makarov had completely different philosophies.
So they were two distinctly different mage guilds.
Now, the increasingly powerful Fairy Tail had survived.
Phantom Lord, however, was annihilated, and even Jose was killed.
Naturally, the Magic Council couldn't possibly offend a flourishing Fairy Tail for the sake of a defunct Phantom Lord.
So, with the collusion of the current Chairman and Makarov, Jose was identified as the instigator of this war.
And Jose was stripped of his title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Although this move caused dissatisfaction among some hawks in the Council, under the firm request of the Chairman, they had to accept this result helplessly.
After that, the era of two major guilds standing side by side ended, and Fairy Tail became the sole dominant force in the Kingdom of Fiore.
Becoming the top mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.
...
Because of Ren and the Jupiter magic cannon, Magnolia and the Fairy Tail guild underwent massive repairs and reconstruction.
One day, Ren was lying in the sun as usual, the gentle sunlight shining on him.
Not far away, Homies were working hard. These Homies were created by Ren using the souls of Phantom Lord mages from that time.
Homies knew no fatigue and completely replaced manual labor in the guild.
Because the guild repairs weren't finished, everyone couldn't take requests.
During this period, they all stayed in Magnolia, helping residents with the aftermath.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of Ren, blocking his sun.
Ren opened his eyes in confusion, pulling down the book covering his face.
Bathed in sunlight, Erza stood before Ren with her hands on her hips.
"Really, letting the guild members help with repairs while you lie here slacking off."
Erza looked helplessly at Ren lying on the chair sunbathing, snatching the book off his face.
"Aren't those Homies working?"
Ren sat up helplessly, stretched, and pointed to the Homies working hard nearby.
Erza glared at Ren and said, "That doesn't mean you can just lie here and slack off. Everyone is working hard."
"Who said I'm the only one slacking off? Look over there."
Hearing Erza's words, Ren immediately retorted, pointing at Makarov, who was sitting on a pile of wooden boards drinking not far away, and shouting.
Suddenly seeing Ren pointing at him, Makarov grinned and waved at Ren.
Glaring fiercely at Makarov, Ren spread his hands and said, "See, the Master is slacking off too."
Erza was instantly helpless, holding her forehead as she watched Ren lie back down.
However, Erza didn't continue to scold Ren and went elsewhere to direct the guild members.
For their new home, Erza and everyone else were full of enthusiasm.
During the reconstruction of the guild, something happened.
Loke in the guild wanted to leave because of personal reasons.
But Lucy discovered that Loke was actually a Celestial Spirit. Then Lucy subdued Loke, who had always held a grudge in his heart, and obtained another Zodiac Key.
Leo the Lion, Loke!
The guild was rebuilt quickly. Everyone was a mage and could use magic for work.
Soon, they stood before a tall building.
The new Fairy Tail!
As Makarov was the first to walk into the guild, everyone poured in one after another.
Especially Natsu and Gray, the two jumped up and down throughout the guild.
Watching this, veins popped on Makarov's forehead.
He gave each of them a heavy punch and harrumphed coldly, "You two brats! Don't you dare wreck the guild!"
Being taught a lesson by Makarov, everyone in the guild burst into laughter.
The entire guild was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After that, alcohol and the request board were brought into the guild one after another, and everyone quickly entered work mode.
After all, most of the guild members were ordinary mages, and they tended to be reckless when doing requests.
So they didn't have much money on hand. If they didn't take requests soon, they wouldn't even be able to pay their rent.
