Demon God Halphas

Everyone was shocked by what happened.

This is really...

It's like cutting through mountains and severing seas!

Chiba walked step by step toward Aria, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

If it weren't for him, he would have already hypnotized Mira with his Mangekyō Genjutsu. If he hadn't been interrupted, how could Mira have escaped?!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

A million demons seemed to be whispering in his mind; his eyes were bloodshot, and he slowly raised his hand.

At the same time, Susanoo also raised its left hand, and then Chakra gathered in its palm. In just a second or two, a huge crimson Rasengan gathered in Susanoo's palm.

Lava Release! Big Ball Rasengan!

Kill them?

Then kill them!

The Rasengan shone like a blazing sun, its light illuminating the earth. The intense heat made those around it feel as if they were melting, but then, black energy flowed from Chiba's eyes, quickly staining the Rasengan a dark red.

Totomaru stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. As a fire mage, he could clearly sense just how explosive the temperature was contained within the Rasengan.

This is practically like... a demon sun from the demon realm!

Susanoo the dark red Rasengan, which resembled the sun, and then slammed it towards Aria.

Aria and Totomaru were terrified. They had no time to fight back and could only run away, running away as fast as they could.

This is an absolute crushing defeat; they simply cannot contend with this being!

"Boom!!"

The Rasengan slammed into the mountain like a meteor falling from the sky. The deafening explosion swept across the entire mountain, turning everything in its path into dust.

But! Just when everyone thought this mountain was going to be destroyed like the one next door, a figure suddenly appeared at the other end of Rasengan, actually blocking its further advance.

"Burst."

The cold voice fell, and the next moment, the Rasengan exploded, and the explosion swept towards the distant sky.

A massive cloud of dust billowed around, obscuring Chiba's vision. But a sweep of the Susanoo's Susanoo overhead cleared the dust away.

Totomaru and Aria had already fled; they were quite capable, managing to dodge the Rasengan's attack.

Not far away, a slender figure stood in mid-air. Her arms and legs were covered with sky-blue scales, and she had a long, thick, sky-blue tail and a pair of sky-blue wings. She had long, wavy, sky-blue hair, and her thin lips were dark red, revealing a hint of bewitching allure.

"So you've finally shown up?" Chiba said casually, as if his real purpose was to force her to appear.

The demon... or rather, the girl, sighed softly, saying, "I knew things wouldn't be that simple. That guy really knows how to cause me trouble..."

Chiba narrowed his eyes and said, "I originally intended to kill them; forcing you to show yourself was just a side effect."

The girl sighed softly again and said, "You can't kill them; fate will stop you. They won't die now."

Chiba suddenly fell silent.

In just a few words, Chiba felt that everything about him had been laid bare before this girl.

Laxus and Erza did not leave, but they were completely baffled by what they heard.

"We are all bound by fate, you... and me, or perhaps the girl you couldn't save. But what sets you apart from me and her is that we all possess immense power, and we all hope to use this power to break free from so-called fate. But... this is utterly absurd. You possess power, so you feel you can do anything. But you have no idea what you're facing..." the girl said softly. "The stronger you become, the closer you get to the abyss. But when you step into the abyss, you face an inescapable despair."

"Are you lecturing me?" Chiba said coldly.

"More or less. I just wanted you to see the world for what it is," the girl said. "From that perspective, we're actually the same kind of people."

Chiba frowned. "Are you also from another world?"

Having said all that, he felt that this girl must be from another world, just like him. Otherwise, why would she say such a thing? The constraints of the world cannot change the outcome of things, and only people like him and Feiyin could truly understand this.

The girl was taken aback. "Another world?"

Chiba immediately shut up, realizing he had said too much.

He then asked, "A type of person? What do you mean?"

The girl lowered her eyes, raised her claw, and powerful magic gathered in her palm. She said calmly, "She's here. My journey ends here. Although she's still so weak, with you here, I'm powerless to resist."

Chiba frowned. "Who... is she?"

The girl raised her eyes and said, "Mirajane Strauss."

Chiba was startled, while Laxus and Erza on the other side simultaneously showed expressions of surprise. They should have never met before, so did this girl know Mira?

"Who... are you?" Chiba's voice trembled slightly.

"My name is Weir Zaku..." the girl said, "You can call me..."

"The Demon God Halphas!"

Chiba: "!!"

From the depths of distant Memory, something ancient is drawn forth by this name. The Demon God Halphas, in the original Fairy Tail, is one of the Demon Souls Mira Take Over. According to Elfman, this is Demon Soul even Makarov forbade her to use. Transforming into the form of the "Demon God" Halphas, she possesses incredible speed and magical power; Mira once destroyed a city in this form!

However, the original work never mentions its origin. It is mysterious and powerful, even surpassing Mira's strongest Satan Soul — the Demon Sitri. Judging from its appearance, it signifies supreme power!

"That man told me I would die, that I would become someone else's magic; it was like a curse," the girl said softly. "After seeing you, I'm almost certain."

"You..." Chiba reached out his hand.

"Comforting me?" The girl gave a self-deprecating smile. "Actually, you know that no one can defy this world. Not even that man. He wanders the world like a lonely traveler. He's powerful enough to make the world take notice, but that's all. No one can resist fate, not even the most outstanding black mage in human history, Zeref."

Chiba remained silent, having deeply felt the pull of fate. Even with his immense power, he still felt so insignificant. Calming down, he realized he couldn't possibly kill Totomaru and Aria. It wasn't that Weir had accidentally protected them; it was the world that had protected them.
