"Alright, let's head back as soon as possible. I'm a little worried about Magnolia's situation." After the playful banter, Eleven quickly calmed down and shared his thoughts with the others.

Although Eleven had seen Gildarts seemingly return and have taken care of many people, he was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, that's Gildarts. Although he's very strong, he's not very reliable. He might ruin Magnolia before the enemy even destroys it.

Natsu and the others naturally had no objections. Although they were hungry, they knew that Magnolia's matter was more important, and besides, it was Eleven's proposal, so how could they dare to disobey?

"What do you plan to do with these Oración Seis?" Gray asked, glancing at the three men lying on the side.

Eleven nonchalantly replied, "Tie them up and take them back. Someone will punish them for us."

Buzz!!

However, before Eleven could finish speaking, an astonishing surge of magical power suddenly rose behind them. The powerful and dense magical energy fluctuations nearly knocked Eleven and his companions off balance.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Eleven's eyes were filled with disbelief as he instantly turned his head to look at where Brain had fallen.

There, Brain, who should have become an idiot, actually opened his eyes, staring intently at Eleven. Those eyes didn't look human at all; they were blood red, with no whites, and filled with an aura of endless violence and destruction.

"How is this possible? How can Brain be wrong? You're not Brain at all! What are you?"

Eleven initially thought that Brain hadn't quite died because his magic had failed. However, after carefully sensing Brain's mental fluctuations, his expression suddenly changed drastically. The Brain before him was like a completely different person—no, it should be said that he was a completely different person!

Although it still had Brain's physical appearance, Eleven was certain that this person was definitely not the Brain he had faced before; the soul aura was completely different.

While Eleven and his group were on high alert, Brain remained remarkably calm. He stood up abruptly, his crimson eyes scanning the chaotic battlefield. When he saw the two unconscious Oración Seis and Erik standing with Eleven, a smile even crept onto his lips.

"Heh, having a good time, huh? Even Midnight got defeated? And they couldn't even take back Cobra. What on earth is Brain doing?"

"Hmm"

"Brain has disappeared?"

Brain looked somewhat confused, clutching his head as he pondered. However, he clearly didn't seem very bright; after thinking for a while without figuring anything out, he gave up immediately.

"Fine, let it disappear! It's good, this body will belong to me alone from now on."

Brain took deep breaths, looking completely relaxed and content, utterly ignoring the presence of Eleven and the others.

"Ah, my body aches so much. But it's been so long since I've felt this way."

"That familiar body, that voice, and that magic."

Brain's magic surged once more, Brain dark green magic instantly transforming into a dazzling emerald green, making him appear even more dangerous. His injuries were almost completely healed by this magical power, and even his tattered clothes were transformed into a green military uniform.

Even Eleven, who was standing at a distance, had to cast Telekinesis Barrier for Natsu to prevent them from being blown away by the terrifying magic.

Eleven couldn't understand why Brain suddenly possessed such powerful magic. This magic was so powerful that it could even rival the archmage named Brunoth that he and Laxus had encountered on the Dark Guild battlefield, and perhaps even be stronger.

"You, you're not Brain! Who are you?" Even Erza and Mira noticed Brain's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask.

After being offline for a long time, 'Brain' finally turned his attention back to Eleven and the others, and licked his lips.

"Heh, my name is 'Zero'! You little brats were the ones who killed Brain, weren't you?"

Eleven: (°Д°)!!

Zero's words startled Eleven; this person really wasn't Brain!

At that moment, a word suddenly flashed through Eleven's mind: "Split personality"!

I've heard that dual personality has always been a controversial topic in the magical world, because in a world where souls can be observed, it's difficult to define whether a person with dual personality is one person or two.

After all, sometimes when these people's personalities change, it may not only be their character that changes, but even their skills, strength, magic and other abilities that require training and learning will change. It is quite magical and also very puzzling.

Therefore, people still don't understand what dual personality is all about, and can only regard it as a talent or a curse.

Eleven truly never imagined that such a rare dual personality, one in tens of thousands, would appear in a cunning and ruthless villain like Brain!

It seems that Eleven has destroyed Brain's treacherous and cunning outward personality, and then the tyrannical inner personality "Zero" has emerged, and is even more powerful!

If I'd known it would turn out like this, Eleven wouldn't have shown off and used that "personality obliteration" attack as his trump card! His luck is just too bad!

Eleven's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and for a moment he felt like crying but couldn't.

Seeing that Eleven was ignoring him, Zero got a little bored and started muttering to himself.

"Well, although Brain's disappearance made me forget many things, since you kids are here, it seems that what happened here is also related to you!"

"Heh, you've actually turned my guild into this mess. As the guild leader, I'm going to settle accounts with you all."

Boom!!

At this moment, Zero truly gathered his scattered and terrifying magic power and pointed it at the location where Eleven and the others stood. The earth groaned and trembled incessantly because of this magic power. Tiny pebbles were drawn up by the magic power as if they had escaped the earth's gravity, slowly floating up, colliding with countless dark particles in the air, and turning into nothingness.

Faced with this overwhelming magical pressure, Eleven did not hesitate for a moment. He stepped forward, shielding his companions behind him and taking the brunt of the damage for them.

Eleven had never experienced such disgusting magic before. The intense killing intent sent shivers down his spine, and his heart pounded more violently than ever before.

But for some reason, even in this situation, Eleven couldn't suppress the excited smile that crept onto his lips.

This guy is amazing!!

"Eleven, we're not those brats who need your protection anymore!"

Suddenly, a delicate shout Eleven's ears Eleven. Mira, Erza, Natsu, Gray, and even Happy all stepped forward at the same time, standing on either side of Eleven, and together they underwent the cleansing of magic.

Eleven glanced at his companions, his eyes gleaming, and couldn't help but tease, "Hey, you little fools, are you all fired up now?"

"Oh!! I'm burning so brightly! Fire Dragon's Roar!!" Natsu suddenly burst into a burst of dragon flames and shouted loudly, not caring at all that Eleven called him an idiot.

"Requip - Heaven's Wheel Armor!"

"You bastard, take this! Soul Extinction!"

"Ice-Make - Lance!"

Without exchanging a single word, almost at the same moment Natsu unleashed his roar, the group launched their attack. In an instant, blades, black light, ice spikes, and thick dragon flames intertwined, forming a massive and powerful assault.

Zero on the other side also burst into wild laughter. Faced with such an attack, he not only did not dodge, but also raised his hand, released magic power, and intended to meet it head-on.

"Haha, you little brats, let me utterly annihilate you into ashes!!"

Eleven watched with a broad smile as his comrades, who, even when facing a formidable foe, still united in their attack, felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "These are truly the mages of Fairy Tail!" he thought.

With such partners standing by our side, what enemy could possibly stop us from moving forward?

Ha! No one can stop them!!

Eleven looked up at Zero, who was attempting to use magic to defend against the attack, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, and sneered, "Whether you're Zero or Brain, I'll make you regret being enemies with Fairy Tail!"

(￣へ￣): "Take this— the Vomiting Technique!"

Boom!!
