Ether Reversal!
The seven giant dragons hovered in mid-air, their enormous vertical pupils fixed on Jiang Bai, who remained standing.
In the very center of that enormous, fifty-meter-tall body, there was a huge, open cavity that was transparent from front to back, and the broken bones around the cavity were clearly visible.
However, the humans before them showed no signs of collapsing.
The Diamond Dragon waved its two front claws wildly in front of its body, its voice echoing within the barrier.
"Are you even human?!"
Diamond Dragon pointed at the large hole in Jiang Bai's chest and questioned him loudly.
"That attack just now truly pierced a vital point. Even if we dragons were struck in the heart like that, we would definitely die on the spot!"
"Why are you still standing there talking?!"
The Space Dragon's massive body shrank back halfway, and its dark red pupils contracted violently.
Are you a ghost?!
The Space Dragon was completely unable to comprehend the scene before it.
"Or perhaps you're not even a living being, but merely a corpse puppet controlled by a special Curse?!"
Jiang Bai glanced down at his empty chest and flicked away the dust that remained around the edge of the large hole.
"So stop comparing me to the standards of you bunch of geniuses."
Jiang Bai sighed and stated the most straightforward facts.
"Really, too weak."
"It's just that my vitality is too strong, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The magical power within Jiang Bai's body began to reverse drastically in an extremely abnormal manner.
A soft, magical white light suddenly shone from the edge of the large hole inside the chest cavity.
The originally broken sternum rapidly grew back in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the joints interlocking and fitting together.
Immediately afterwards, the torn and shredded muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves, and even internal organs, like an image being rewound, frantically reconstruct and spread within seconds.
Granulation tissue is intertwined, and the epidermis is closed.
In just three seconds.
The massive, fifty-meter-tall body had a smooth, flat surface and a steady rise and fall of its chest. Apart from a large, round hole remaining in its outer clothing, there wasn't even a tiny, light-colored scratch inside.
Perfectly intact.
If it weren't for the huge hole in his clothes, who would believe that this guy had just been pierced through the heart from the front a few seconds earlier?
This operation, which completely subverts the rules of physiology, was a life-saving technique that Jiang Bai developed and created on his own during his seven years of seclusion on Tenrou Island.
The inspiration comes from Reverse Cursed Technique from another world.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, the Reverse Cursed Technique multiplies the negative curse energy originating from human negative emotions in pairs, transforming it into pure positive energy in a way that two negatives equals one positive, thereby achieving the healing miracle of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones.
However, the underlying logic of the Fairy Tail world is completely different.
The magic of this world lies in its ability to absorb Ethernano dispersed in the atmosphere Ethernano are a type of neutral energy that tends towards balance.
It is neither purely positive nor extremely negative.
If you rigidly apply the formula of multiplying two elements at a time, the result of multiplying neutral elements by neutral elements and zero by zero will still be zero, and it is impossible to spontaneously generate healing vitality.
Jiang Bai didn't get stuck on the details.
Since energy itself is unbiased, we can directly use our own Mental Magic to forcibly inject a completely new definition of will into the microscopic level of the ether.
With absolute control over his own magic, Jiang Bai, guided by his will, forcibly reversed the Ethernano into a reverse energy flow with reorganization and repair properties.
Ether Reversal.
It's quite strange, actually.
The Ethernano of this world are neutral and gentle in nature. Compared to the cursed power filled with resentment and curses, they should theoretically be more suitable for developing various high-level physical restoration magic.
However, for hundreds of years, the human mages on this continent have been single-mindedly focused on pursuing high-damage, wide-range destructive attacks.
Even Wendy, the Sky Dragon Slayer, primarily uses healing magic to enhance physical strength, detoxify, and accelerate natural healing.
Zeref, the dark mage standing at the pinnacle of magic, has even developed forbidden magic that transcends the laws of life and death, creating demons out of thin air to resurrect the dead.
Unfortunately, the area concerning body repair has remained largely unexplored.
Of course, the Ether Reversal system that Jiang Bai devised is something that only Jiang Bai himself can pull off in the entire world.
The threshold for forcibly altering the definition of magic using mental power is alarmingly high.
It requires not only the ability to manipulate microscopic dimensions, but also the absolute synchronization of mind and magic, plus a nearly inexhaustible source of magic as backup fuel.
If any one of these elements is missing, the caster's brain will be overwhelmed by the rampaging reverse ether.
It was precisely because the Ether Reversal had been fully developed on Tenrou Island that Jiang Bai dared to recklessly force high-concentration magic into his bone marrow and muscles, without worrying about the permanent strain and damage to his body caused by high-level Enchantment.
As long as the magic power isn't exhausted, it can be fully repaired and reconstructed in the blink of an eye.
The seven-headed dragon hovering opposite watched this scene, its mind blank for a long time.
The Sword Blade Dragon's two enormous eyes bulged out, and the metal blades on its back rubbed and collided uncontrollably.
Diamond Dragon took two steps back, his voice trembling.
"Are you kidding me... a broken heart can grow back on the spot?!"
Levia's slippery tongue froze in mid-air, letting out a sharp, piercing scream.
"You pervert! You're not human! You're the real monster!!"
The dragon was driven to swearing on the spot by a human.
However, on the main street of the capital below, the atmosphere was rapidly shifting from extreme sorrow to utter absurdity.
As the mages of the various guilds wiped away their tears, they suddenly saw the giant with a gaping hole in the sky. A burst of white light shone from its body, and then its entire chest healed completely at an unreasonable speed.
Makarov gripped his beard with both hands, his jaw drooping as if dislocated.
"What... what's going on?!"
Makarov pointed at Jiang Bai, who was seemingly unaffected in the sky, and completely stammered.
"Am I seeing things? I clearly saw that kid's chest be completely pierced just now!"
In mid-air, the blond, blue-eyed first chairman Mavis, remained in ghost form, floating above Makarov's head with his hands behind his back.
As the only witness who observed Jiang Bai's entire cultivation process over the seven years on Tenrou Island, Mavis is the most qualified to speak on this matter.
Mavis blinked her big eyes and nodded calmly.
"Oh dear, I was also quite shocked when Jiang Bai first created this healing ability on Tenrou Island."
Mavis even tapped his chin with his finger, as if it were a common occurrence.
"As long as his spirit doesn't dissipate, no matter how severe the physical injury, it's just a minor problem that can be dealt with by consuming magic power."
Makarov suddenly turned his head, hot tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, his expression filled with an unresolvable resentment.
"First Generation... Since you knew all along that this brat wouldn't die, why didn't you warn us at all when everyone was crying and screaming?!"
Hearing this soul-searching question from the current president.
Mavis paused for a moment, then raised her right hand and tapped her head, sticking out her pink little tongue.
"Hey! I completely forgot about it because he was acting so convincingly."
Makarov choked on his breath and nearly passed out on the spot.
Next to the pile of rubble behind.
Elfman was hugging Mirajane with tears streaming down his face when he looked up and saw Jiang Bai, full of energy, in the sky. He was suddenly jolted.
Elfman quickly stretched out his large, fan-like hands and frantically shook Mirajane in his arms.
"Sister! Wake up! Brother-in-law is alright!"
"My brother-in-law isn't dead at all! The huge hole in his body has completely healed! He's stretching his legs in the sky right now!"
Mirajane opened her eyes quickly amidst the violent shaking.
Without any hesitation, and without even wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mirajane immediately looked up at the sky, thousands of meters above the ground.
My gaze travels through layers of air currents.
High in the sky, Jiang Bai stood upright, one hand in his coat pocket, talking and laughing loudly with the seven-headed dragon opposite him, radiating boundless vitality.
Not a single hair was missing.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into my stomach.
Two lines of glistening tears slid down Mirajane's pale cheeks, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
Mirajane bit her lip, clenched her two small fists tightly in front of her, and angrily spat out a few words.
"You Xiao Bai! You big liar!"
Mirajane wiped away her tears, stood up nimbly from Elfman's embrace, and brushed the dust off her long dress.
"How dare they use such a disgusting act to scare people!"
"Once this battle is completely over, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Although he was uttering harsh words through gritted teeth, everyone present could clearly feel the ease and joy radiating from Mirajane's face.
Erza raised the back of her hand to wipe away the remaining tear stains around her eyes.
Erza turned to look at Mirajane, her expression extremely serious.
Mira, I'm with you.
Lucy, Levy, Wendy, and the other girls who had just cried their sleeves wet also gathered around, their emotions running high.
Count me in!
"I'm going to settle accounts with him too!"
"He made everyone shed so many tears for nothing, he absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"
The fighting spirit and resentment of the human forces on the ground surged to their peak simultaneously, even forcing the Hellfire Dragon and Dragon of Hisui in front to retreat repeatedly due to this eerie aura.
And at this very moment.
Inside the barrier 10,000 meters above the ground.
Although Jiang Bai, now in his giant form, couldn't hear the specific conversations of the crowd below, he could vaguely sense the immense resentment rising from above the long street thanks to his powerful Mental Perception.
Especially the 'icy' gazes of Erza and Mirajane fixed on him made the hairs on the back of Jiang Bai's neck stand on end.
Jiang Bai shook his head, forcibly suppressing his chaotic thoughts.
This time, things really went wrong.
If I keep wasting time here with the seven-headed lizard, I might get skinned alive by those furious women when we land back on the ground.
Jiang Bai turned around, his cold gaze falling on the seven trembling dragons in front of him.
His hands slowly emerged from his pockets, and a storm of golden and crimson magic began to violently intertwine on his enormous, fifty-meter-tall body.
Jiang Bai rubbed his fist, producing a dangerously sharp cracking sound from his joints.
"The warm-up session is now complete."
Jiang Bai looked at the trembling giant beasts opposite him, his voice heavy like a thunderclap.
"I'm in a hurry to get back, so just give me your bodies obediently."
