"Zorn, Zorn…" At a call, Zorn also came back to his senses and saw Cana, who was full of worry. Indeed, in the middle of his speech, Zorn's eyes suddenly became hollow, and no matter how much she called, it was useless. This made Cana's heart jump to her throat, afraid that something would happen to Zorn.
"I'm fine!" Zorn gently held Cana's hand and comforted her. Then, he looked up at Natsu and said firmly, "It's Zeref, to revive someone!"
"His younger brother! That is you—Natsu!"
"And you are the legendary demon—END."
"Everything Zeref has caused, you could say, started with you…"
Zorn spoke word by word. These words were even more explosive than the information about the enemies he had just revealed.
Everyone's pupils contracted in unison, staring blankly at Natsu, and even more shocked at the serious-faced Zorn.
"How could this be, impossible…" Lucy covered her mouth, trying to suppress her inner shock, her voice trembling abnormally as she murmured. She couldn't believe what was before her eyes, but the facts were laid out, undeniable. Natsu was Natsu, the companion who had fought alongside her and laughed with her. Natsu's previous appearance kept replaying in her mind, so vivid and real, how could he have anything to do with a demon?
Even Gin couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He naturally understood the meaning of END, and he never expected that Fairy Tail would hide such an astonishing secret.
However, Zorn's gaze never left Natsu. He seemed to have more to say.
"I… I'm END… Four hundred years?!" Natsu's face was also full of shock, his eyes staring blankly at Zorn, his pupils gradually becoming hollow and lifeless.
So, Zeref was his brother, then did everything start because of him?
Everyone around them showed shocked expressions. They gazed at Zorn, looking at his serious and focused expression on Natsu, knowing that he still had more words to express.
Even Happy, who was about to speak, was stopped in time by Carla.
"You are END! So what! Natsu!" Zorn suddenly raised his voice, shouting loudly with a firm tone.
This shout was like a clap of thunder, echoing throughout the entire venue and directly striking Natsu's heart. He widened his eyes, staring blankly at Zorn, his originally dim eyes suddenly lighting up.
"You will always be our family, won't you?" Zorn continued, his eyes sparkling with genuine light.
"Since we are family, your joy is our joy, and your pain is our pain."
Zorn's voice was gentle and powerful, like a warm spring breeze, dispelling the gloom in Natsu's heart.
"All your karma is our karma!" Zorn said the last sentence with particular firmness.
A smile played at the corners of his eyes, and his gentle voice spread throughout the venue to Everyone, illuminating their hearts like sunshine.
Everyone's eyes were once again filled with hope and courage, and they all brightened.
"That's right, if it's going to end badly, then I'll stop you~" Gray directly put his arm around Natsu's shoulder, his other hand flexing with bulging muscles as he spoke firmly.
"You will eventually learn the remaining detailed information later."
"Now."
"The war has officially begun!"
Clap~
Zorn's eyes flashed, and after speaking, he clapped his hands. Bright light flashed over Everyone present, and then they slowly rose.
Clearly, Zorn was sending them to the front lines.
"I will transmit all information about the enemy's main force into your minds!"
"Targeting their weaknesses, combined with your own magic, you will surely win!"
Zorn smiled from below, speaking to Everyone in the air.
After the Fairy Tail members left, only Makarov and Zorn remained on the ground.
"Zorn, you… you're not thinking of facing Zeref alone, are you!" Makarov looked at Zorn with a solemn expression, sensing an unprecedented determination and power from him.
Zorn smiled faintly, his eyes sparkling with firm light:
"Guild Master Grandpa, please rest assured. I will protect this family."
Zorn's voice was full of confidence and determination, as if he was already prepared to have a decisive battle with Zeref.
"Moreover, it's truly wonderful to be able to come to this world." Zorn looked up at the sky, the sunlight falling on his face, illuminating it with a golden hue.
His eyes revealed a love for life, anticipation for the future, and an overflowing happiness.
Zorn turned his head, his gaze falling on Makarov.
At this moment, only firm confidence remained on his face, and his entire body exuded an extremely dense magic power.
His aura was like surging waves, making people feel shocked.
Makarov took a deep breath and said, "This… you've always been hiding your magic…"
Zorn smiled, "Thank you, Guild Master Grandpa, but I believe I have enough strength to face any challenge."
"My magic power has always been in a state of growth, and my current strength is already sufficient."
Now, let me go face that legendary Dark Magician of four hundred years!" With that, he transformed into a golden light and rushed into the distance.
Makarov watched Zorn's departing back, his heart filled with endless emotion.
What does it mean for magic power to be constantly growing?
What does it mean to be constantly suppressed?
...
On the other side, Twelve Shields, under Zeref's command, each led their armies to advance from eight directions of Ishgar.
Four of The Spriggan Shield even led massive armies to launch a direct frontal assault.
"Everyone, can you hear my voice?" A female voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the Fairy Tail members who were rushing to the battlefield.
"First Master?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"No time for detailed explanations!"
Mavis's voice echoed in their minds: "I will be in unified command of this war. You will be assigned to face corresponding enemies! You must do your best to intercept the enemy!"
Mavis's voice was full of determination and trust in her Guild Members.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately composed themselves and responded in unison.
However, a part of Mavis's attention fell on Zorn, but only a trace of worry showed on her face, and she quickly collected her thoughts, focusing entirely on the strategic planning of the entire battle.
She had to consider all aspects, including the battles between armies.
This was all she could do for Everyone.
The reason why the Telepathy Magic could cover the entire battlefield was thanks to Zorn's immense magic power and his absolute affinity for light elements.
And she was on the crown of the Tenrou Tree, using the great tree on Tenrou Island as a transceiver.
As long as the other party agreed to connect to the magic network, communication would be very smooth.
But she could only stay here.
"Warren, thank you for your hard work, please help with the balance!" The First Master's voice came from above, with a hint of concern.
"Yes, First Master!" Warren replied without hesitation, holding the Tenrou Tree tightly with both hands, his entire body emitting a dazzling light. This was the first time he had truly felt such abundant magic power, as if the entire world was under his control.
At the same time, the First Master turned to look at the other side: "Bisca, Alzack, prepare the Osprey Cannon for launch!"
"Yes, First Master, everything is ready~" Bisca and Alzack responded in unison, their eyes firm and focused. They had already locked onto their targets, waiting for the command to be given.
At the First Master's command, the two Jupiter Cannon barrels instantly emitted dazzling light, like two brilliant stars. Immediately after, two loud bangs thundered, and the shells streaked across the sky like meteors, directly plunging into the enemy's main camp.
It turned out that Bisca and Alzack had been arranged here long ago, quietly waiting for the First Master's instructions. They deeply understood the importance of their mission and dared not relax for a moment.
At this moment, they finally waited for this moment, and they went all out, demonstrating powerful strength and tacit agreement.
Although they did not participate in the Tartaros subjugation, this level of cannon was still very satisfying for fighting enemies.
