Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Tower of Paradise

"Speaking of which, where did Acnologia go?"

Irene wore a long white dress, her beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings beneath the hem. Her figure was curvaceous, and as she walked down the street, she attracted the gazes of many hungry wolves.

She bought an ice cream and ate it as she walked. That guy hadn't been seen for many days; he must have gone off to slack off somewhere, and he didn't even think to invite her.

"Irene!"

Acnologia walked over from a distance, waving two tickets in his hand. "Let's go to Akane Resort for a vacation together. It's said to be the most famous seaside tourist destination in the kingdom."

Irene took the tickets and looked at them. "Is this what you've been busy with these past few days?"

Acnologia nodded. "The King of Fiore transferred Magnolia Town to us. Many ministers already know the news, and there were so many invitations that I reluctantly accepted a few gifts and sent them on their way."

"These two tickets were given to me by a minister. Compared to other useless jewelry, this is actually quite interesting."

Irene was very happy to hear this. "We've been married for so many years, yet we haven't had a proper honeymoon."

Acnologia asked, "Should we call Erza?"

"Would that even be a honeymoon then!" Irene didn't want to bring along a third wheel.

"Anyway, Erza still has to build the guild. She doesn't have time to play. Let's not bother her."

"You're right. Let's go then!"

Soon, the two of them set off on a spontaneous honeymoon... Under the summer afternoon sun, they finally arrived at the dreamy golden beach. The sea breeze blew past, bringing a sense of refreshment.

Irene put on a light and breathable white dress, its hem swaying gently in the wind as she enjoyed the sea breeze.

Meanwhile, Acnologia chose a pair of loose and comfortable shorts. He set up a sunshade, put on sunglasses, and lay leisurely on a cooling mat.

The afternoon sun shone on the surface of the sea, sparkling beautifully.

Little stars twinkled in Irene's eyes. "I didn't expect the Kingdom of Fiore to have such a place. It's truly beautiful!"

"If you like it, we can buy a house by the sea and come here often."

Acnologia squinted his eyes, quietly admiring the beautiful seascape. It was a rare moment of leisure.

As for Natsu, Lucy, and the others... forget it, why think about those troublesome things.

Suddenly, the view ahead was blocked by a tall figure. Acnologia pulled down his sunglasses slightly and frowned. "Buddy, could you please move? Don't block the sun."

Boom!

Suddenly, the tall figure raised a hand, and a jet of flame erupted, instantly enveloping Acnologia.

Acnologia lay in the flames completely unharmed, squinting at him. "Interesting, Simon."

He recognized who this man with his head wrapped in white cloth was. In the original plot, he was one of Erza's childhood companions in the Tower of Paradise. However, the current Erza didn't know them.

On the other side, a blond youth waved his hand, and countless cards flew through the air, trapping all the tourists inside them.

Irene watched Acnologia being burned by the flames, but she didn't intend to do anything. She just sat there, eating a slice of watermelon.

Suddenly, a rope flew out of thin air, binding Irene like a zongzi. A little girl walked over, picked up the half-eaten watermelon Irene had, and continued munching on it.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Irene yawned and didn't try to break free from the rope, just lying there quietly.

Since Acnologia wasn't resisting, she wouldn't resist either. She also wanted to see what these kids were up to.

The little girl frowned. "Me?"

"Millianna."

"Big guy Simon, square-faced Wally, and blond Sho!"

Most people in the Fairy Tail world are very simple. They answer whatever you ask, having no idea what schemes or intrigues are.

"Is that man a fire Mage? Simon's fire was actually useless?" Millianna asked.

Irene gave a bored suggestion. "You could try tying him up. Maybe he won't resist either."

"Oh?"

Millianna thought it was a good suggestion and activated her magic against Acnologia, sending a rope to bind him.

Acnologia blew out the flames in one breath and was then bound by the rope. He said somewhat speechlessly, "Hey, you guys, can you stop disturbing my rare leisure time?"

Blond Sho sneered, "That won't do. You are rare sacrifices. For the sake of the world's rebirth, everything is necessary."

Acnologia raised an eyebrow. "Sacrifices?"

"Yes!"

A look of madness appeared on the blond youth's face. "We want the world to feel fear. The Mages, the Council, and that group of ignorant people... As long as that legendary existence is reborn, he will definitely lead us to conquer the world!"

Acnologia looked at his chuunibyou-like behavior and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You have no idea how vast the world is. Even if the one you speak of is reborn, he wouldn't be able to do all that."

Sho retorted, "What do you know? That person is the legendary Black Wizard Zeref! Someone like you simply doesn't understand his greatness!"

With Jellal's guidance, they would surely be able to follow in that person's footsteps and rule the world with him.

Acnologia shook his head slightly. "A bunch of hopeless fools."

Zeref was bent on dying, yet these idiots were clamoring to resurrect him. If Zeref knew, he would definitely be the first to wipe them out... Magic Council.

Siegrain began to manipulate the other councilors into activating the Magic Particles to bombard the Tower of Paradise.

At first, everyone objected, believing that a single strike from the Magic Particles could destroy a city and was more dangerous than the r-system. But once Siegrain mentioned that the person to be resurrected was Zeref, everyone truly became terrified.

The legendary progenitor of Black Wizards; his descent would mean the destruction of the world!

After a vote, the councilors finally decided to activate the Magic Particles for destruction.

Soon, Acnologia and Irene were taken to the Tower of Paradise, which was the r-system designed for resurrecting the dead.

Jellal sat on the throne, looking down at Irene and Acnologia. He said with a smile, "Mages of Fairy Tail!"

Acnologia and Irene casually broke free from the rope restraints. Immediately after, magic surged around them, transforming their attire into magnificent magic robes.

This scene left Millianna and the others terrified. These were ropes that could suppress magic, yet they were unaffected.

Sho was shocked. "How is that possible? Were you caught on purpose?"

Jellal stopped Sho, who was about to attack, and said calmly, "It's fine. Step down!"

"But..."

"Step down!"

Sho looked unwilling, but seeing Jellal's cold gaze, he still retreated.

Acnologia looked around the Tower of Paradise; it did indeed possess an extraordinary magical power. He looked up slightly. "Jellal, do you really know Zeref?"

Jellal smiled and said, "Of course. I have spoken with that great existence. To resurrect Zeref, I am willing to pay any price."

"Zeref... I didn't expect him to have so many followers."

Acnologia actually pitied this man quite a bit. He had lived his whole life in lies, and only after being beaten to a pulp would he finally come to his senses.

"This didn't involve Fairy Tail at all, so why did you capture us?"

"Or is it that even you don't know if you're right or wrong, and you want us to stop you?"

Jellal disliked the man's eyes; it felt as if he were being seen right through.

He frowned slightly. "I have a deep understanding of your Fairy Tail. Although you enjoy causing destruction, you have justice in your hearts."

"So I want to play a game with you. The Magic Particles will descend upon the Tower of Paradise in thirty minutes. In other words, the r-system will be fully completed in thirty minutes."

A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. "I want to see if you, who represent justice, can actually stop me!"

If even Fairy Tail couldn't stop him, then it would prove that everything he did was right, and the resurrection of the Black Wizard Zeref was also right!

This dark world needs destruction to be set right!
