"However... sometimes some souls suddenly disappear. I'm not sure what's going on, but it doesn't seem like they've completely vanished."
"The Führer" Brian added, his illusory figure swaying slightly in the misty, seemingly solidified darkness of the "underworld," like a candle flickering in the wind, devoid of any will to live.
After losing his magical powers, "Host" Brian was just a powerless ghost with very little ability to do anything. These things could be easily discovered by spending a little more time and being observant; they were hardly secrets.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Moen narrowed his eyes. It was indeed difficult to say what was going on with those souls; perhaps they had been reincarnated.
"So you're still willing to be free now? Don't you want to wait a little longer? Maybe you'll disappear too, maybe that really is reincarnation."
Moen smiled and said to "The Führer" Brian.
If it really is reincarnation, then the longer one exists, the greater the chance of reincarnation. The fact that mages exist in this world for a long time doesn't necessarily mean it's just a punishment; at least, the possibility of reincarnation is much greater than that of ordinary people.
"That's too far-fetched and unrealistic. Besides, I've never seen any reincarnated person. Presumably, the so-called reincarnation wouldn't be me anymore. What difference would that make from being dead?"
Brian's illusory head shook slightly, causing a barely perceptible ripple. He had considered that it might be a reincarnation, but even if it was, it wasn't worth suffering here. After all, he would no longer be himself in the reincarnation.
"You have no idea how torturous it is here."
"The Führer" Brian's voice carried a deep-seated weariness, as if every syllable carried endless pain.
Faced with Moen, "Headmaster" Brian only wanted to die. In the past, there was no other way, but in this world, if one could "commit suicide," probably not many people would still be willing to continue "living" here. Apart from newly arrived souls who are still confused about the situation, those who have been here for a while would definitely hope to be free.
Of course, we can't be too absolute in our statements. Some people might try to hold on and fight for that chance of reincarnation.
But someone like "Headmaster" Brian, who has traveled extensively, seen a wide range of things, studied various kinds of magic, and can even seal his own personality, really doesn't think there's any need to pursue reincarnation. He's never seen anyone who can awaken memories of their past life.
"Buzz!"
With a casual wave of his arm, Moen unleashed an indescribable, eerie energy that instantly enveloped "The Führer" Brian's soul. The illusory figure vanished without a trace, like thin ice thrown into the blazing sun, disappearing completely into the eternal darkness of the underworld. Moen had satisfied Brian's yearning for liberation.
Although Brian seems carefree, saying he only wants to die, it's only because they have no power to resist. If there were even the slightest chance, if they had any ability to resist, these guys would try to control Moen and bring him back to the present world.
"This underworld is far less interesting than stereotyped. It's more like part of a magic cycle, operating completely autonomously without a presiding god. It's a complete waste of time."
Looking around at the boundless, desolate space filled with only monotonous darkness, Moen muttered a complaint, and then he did not linger in this "underworld" any longer.
Moen raised his hand, his five fingers spread, and a dark, shimmering exit silently tore open in front of his palm. He stepped in, and his figure was instantly swallowed by the light, disappearing into this desolate place.
This "underworld" may seem vast and boundless, but it might not be without other secrets. Perhaps Moen just hasn't discovered them yet. However, he doesn't have the time to wander around in the "underworld," which has no sense of direction. Having just unlocked a new [Golden Cloth], his body and cosmos have been strengthened once again, and he needs to consolidate them.
"Although the gains were not many, we did take the opportunity to verify the damage that the Sekishiki Netherworld Wave inflicts on the soul. It is absolutely dominant. Ordinary people's souls simply cannot withstand the impact of the Sekishiki Netherworld Wave."
Feeling the lingering, eerie energy on his fingertips, specifically targeting the soul, Moen summarized his gains from this trip to the "Underworld." Putting everything else aside, this "Sekishiki Underworld Wave" was truly a special attack on the soul, extremely useful.
However, this move is a bit troublesome when attacking living people. It requires separating the soul and body of the living person before attacking the soul. It cannot directly shatter the soul through the body.
"Sekishiki Meikai Ha" is essentially a technique that combines spatial and spiritual elements. It can separate a person's soul from their body and send the soul to the entrance of the "underworld". If used directly on an enemy in a soul state, it will tear the enemy's soul apart, and the fragments will drift to another dimension, never to be reincarnated.
"You still haven't mastered it. If you really mastered it, you could use the Sekishiki Netherworld Wave to create a vortex like a black hole, devouring all matter and energy affected by the Sekishiki Netherworld Wave, constantly expanding and strengthening it. If left unchecked, it could not only engulf planets, but even entire star systems."
Moen knew that the upper limit of this "Sekishiki Netherworld Wave" was still very high. If this ability were applied to this world, it would be able to absorb everything into the "Netherworld".
The same skill can have completely different effects in the hands of different people, which is closely related to proficiency and understanding.
There are no weak abilities, only incompetent users. As long as you have a big enough imagination, you can make the most of any ability.
Moen had read "One Piece," and the various Devil Fruit abilities in it were used in all sorts of creative ways, especially in various fan fictions, where the use of these abilities was even more elaborate than in the original "One Piece" manga.
"Buzz!"
With a slight thought, the space around Mo En rippled like water, and his figure vanished from the spot like a phantom.
In the blink of an eye, Moen was already standing firmly in the familiar and bustling guild hall of Fairy Tail.
Does anyone know where Natsu and Igneel went?
Back at the guild hall, Moen inquired about Natsu and Igneel.
The matter of "The Strongest Demon END" is still unresolved. We need to find Natsu and see how to resolve this issue. That old guy Igneel might know something, after all, Natsu has been with him since he was very young.
The guild members exchanged bewildered glances. Everyone knew that Natsu and "Fire Dragon King" Igneel had gone to train, but no one knew exactly where they had gone. Neither Igneel nor Natsu had reported their whereabouts to the guild.
"Alright."
Moen wasn't surprised. He closed his eyes, and an invisible sense of perception spread out instantly like a fine spider web.
As one of Moen's apprentices, Natsu was naturally on his constellation positioning radar, but he rarely used this function to avoid giving people the impression of being a voyeur.
Soon, a small, bright dot, like a burning flame, appeared and was clearly displayed on Moen's mental perception map.
"Buzz!"
The moment Moen successfully located Natsu, his figure was once again enveloped by spatial fluctuations and vanished from the spot.
The next moment, he had silently appeared in a clearing in a lush forest, standing in front of Natsu, who was training, and Igneel, the "Fire Dragon King," who was perched to the side.
"President Moen?"
"Fire Dragon King" Igniel slightly raised his massive dragon head, a clear hint of surprise flashing in his golden dragon eyes.
"Moenge!"
Natsu stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and exclaimed in surprise.
Both "Fire Dragon King" Igneel and Natsu were somewhat surprised to see Moen suddenly appear.
"Igniel".
Moen stared intently at the massive head of the "Fire Dragon King," his expression turning serious.
"I have something I want to ask you, it's about Zeref, about the demons."
At this point, Moen paused, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Natsu beside him.
Where do you think it would be most appropriate to say this?
Moen got straight to the point, stating his purpose directly. If "Fire Dragon King" Igniel knew about "END," then he would understand the meaning behind Moen's words.
"6
""
Sure enough, the "Fire Dragon King's" expression changed immediately.
Moen was certain that this old guy knew about "END," that Natsu was "END," and that Igneel knew this perfectly well. Asking him was definitely the right thing to do.
"Natsu, you continue your training. I'd like to have a chat with Guild Master Moen."
The "Fire Dragon King" chose to avoid Natsu for the time being; he didn't plan to tell Natsu about the "END" yet.
"Okay."
Natsu scratched his head, looking puzzled. Couldn't he listen to these things about demons and Zeref?
"Hey! Moen! What brings you here?!"
Just as Moen and "Fire Dragon King" Igniel were about to leave, Harpy flapped his wings and flew over. He circled Moen once, looking very surprised.
"I need to speak with Igunir."
Moen chuckled and patted Harpy on the head, telling him to stay put, then walked away with Igneel.
'
"So mysterious..."
""
After Moen and Igneel left, Natsu and Happy exchanged a glance, both realizing what the other was thinking. Something was wrong with Moen and Igneel, and something was definitely not right about what they were talking about.
"Are you going or not?"
Natsu asked Happy, but in fact, he had already made a decision when he asked the question; he was incredibly curious.
"Love? That's not a good idea..."
'
Harby hesitated, after all, Moen clearly didn't want them to know or to come over. It wasn't that Harby was afraid, but he felt that even if they went over, they would definitely be discovered.
Happy has great respect for Moen's strength. Unlike Natsu, who sometimes can't distinguish between the two kings, and is sometimes terrified and sometimes bursting with confidence, Happy has always been amazed by Moen's strength.
"Well, we'll have to try it to find out."
After Happy finished expressing his concerns, Natsu hesitated for a moment, but then became resolute again.
"...Then let's be careful."
Happy and Natsu have been inseparable for so many years, so he immediately knew that Natsu's fighting spirit had returned. There was no way to dissuade him, so he could only go with Natsu. Although he was full of worries, Happy would not abandon Natsu.
"Okay! Be careful!"
Seeing Happy's support, Natsu became even more enthusiastic. He and Happy cautiously moved forward, heading in the direction where Moen and Igneel had left. Happy flew a little higher, carefully searching for Moen and Igneel.
"No...it's gone."
19
After searching around, Happy returned to Natsu's side. He didn't find Moen and Igneel, even though they had only been gone a short while. Just a moment ago, they could still see Igneel's huge body, but in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared.
"It must be Moen!"
Natsu clapped his hands, knowing that Moen had teleported Igneel to another location to avoid them.
"I knew it... if Moen didn't want us to hear it, we definitely wouldn't hear it."
Happy muttered a complaint, knowing this would be the outcome; Natsu had always been completely crushed whenever he challenged Moen over the years.
Meanwhile, Moen and Igniel had arrived at the top of a mountain.
Let's talk about the ending.
Standing next to the "Fire Dragon King," Moen spoke directly.
"Where...did you know all this?"
"Fire Dragon King?" Igniel asked hesitantly.
The matter of "END" is arguably Natsu's biggest secret, and Igneel is very cautious about revealing it.
"Look what this is."
Moen didn't try to be mysterious; he simply took out the "Book of END," making his meaning quite clear.
"I already have Natsu's original body in my hands, Igneel, stop keeping me in suspense and share whatever you know."
Moen believed that Igunier should recognize the book.
"How...how did you get this book, 'The End'?!"
As expected, "Fire Dragon King" Igneel recognized the book and understood what it meant to Natsu.
"Stolen from a group of demons. Do you know Maldo Gil? He established a demon guild called the Gates of the Underworld under the name of END. I've wiped out that guild and all those demons have been destroyed."
Moen explained the origin of the "Book of Ending." Maldo Gil was a demon who had lived for a very long time; it was just unknown whether Igniel knew Maldo Gil.
'
Igniel's dragon eyes widened, filled with shock.
Igniel wasn't very familiar with Maldo Gil or anything like that. What shocked him was that the "Book of END" had fallen into the hands of those demons. What was Zeref thinking? What was he doing? Had he really gone completely insane?
Moen had told Igniel about Zeref's condition before, but Igniel was skeptical because when he met Zeref, Zeref's mental state wasn't that bad.
