"So that's how you got the scars on your face and chest!"
"Looks like it wasn't a miscarriage of justice!"
As Zorn looked at the familiar Magic Circle, it felt as if all the previously hidden memories were being crammed into his mind.
In an instant, he understood the cause and effect.
Many years ago.
At that time, the Edolas Kingdom had not yet fully banned the use of Magic items by its citizens, and various Fairy Tail were numerous.
Of course, Dark Guilds also emerged, but a genius appeared among them who, with his outstanding combat power, directly took control of the entire Dark Guilds and launched a battle against the regular Fairy Tail.
Moreover, he harbored ambitions to overthrow the entire Kingdom, and all his confidence stemmed from the bracelets on his hands.
After acquiring this bracelet, Brain was practically blessed with divine assistance. His former formidable enemies were nothing but a rabble in his presence, and he easily defeated them all.
Seeing his immense power, the members of the Dark Guilds flattered him, calling him Dark Guilds king, which further fueled his ambition.
He harbored ambitions to seize the throne, but the bracelet, like Pandora's box, sensed his dark inner turmoil and unleashed a Black Magic, sacrificing life to summon a demon.
The more life and Magic Power sacrificed, the more powerful the summoned demon becomes. This demon will also be controlled by the bracelet, making it impossible for anyone in the entire Kingdom to oppose it.
To disregard the lives of others for one's own selfish gain.
Back then, Brain even used some Mages from legitimate Fairy Tail and the entire surrounding village as sacrifices, sparing not even the children.
However, all of this was discovered and stopped by Zorn, who nearly killed him on the spot with a single blow.
Fortunately, the bracelet allowed Brain to survive and lie low for over a decade before finally getting his chance. With the bracelet's help, his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Besides this incident, Zorn also had questions about why he had disappeared from the spot back then.
It was because, in this world, his existence was ultimately discovered by the Goddess to be his own mistake—he had been transported to the wrong world—and she corrected it.
However, in order to cover up his mistake, he casually concealed Zorn's memories.
Zorn shook his head helplessly at this thought, and aside from slightly criticizing the Goddess in his heart, he dared not have any further thoughts.
"Oh, it seems you've misunderstood something?"
"You're making it seem like it's incredibly Magic Power for me to stop this Magic!"
Zorn glanced coldly at Brain, Zorn sighed as he looked at the now somewhat deranged Brain. The light in his hand shone even brighter as Zorn slowly rose into the sky.
"What~"
Brain's manic expression froze, and he stared in shock at Zorn in the air, as if he couldn't quite process the information Zorn had given him.
"It's my failure that I didn't finish you off back then, letting you live until now!"
"Now, you and the rest of the Dark Guilds, go to hell and repent!"
"Gather! River of light that guides the fairies! Shine forth! To vanquish the minions of evil!"
As Zorn chanted, a huge Magic Circle suddenly appeared in the sky, with a giant Fairy Tail mark in the center.
Zorn's Magic Power slowly gathered in the sky, attracting and condensing the surrounding light particles as well.
"This... this kind of Magic, how... how is this possible!"
"Could it be...?"
Brain stared at the Magic appearing in the sky, muttering to himself intermittently.
His body was trembling and shaking, even though the light in the sky was so dazzling.
He could only sense an aura of death enveloping him.
The other members of the Dark Guilds shared the same feeling; each one was even less capable than their leader, their eyes vacant as they stared blankly at the figure in the air.
Mystogan and Erza also stopped their attacks. The third brother and Ecloria had already been knocked to the ground by Mystogan and Erza before Zorn could cast his Magic.
Those who are fortunate do not have to endure the fear and helplessness that precedes death.
"Honestly, every time Zorn makes a move, we're completely left out!"
Natsu put his hands on his head, looking at Zorn in the air with a mixture of envy and complaint.
"Haha, but thanks to Zorn, the Kingdom Army's soldiers were able to regain their senses quickly!"
Wendy held Carla in her arms, seemingly unconcerned. She was quite happy to see the soldiers who had regained their senses.
"Well, Lucy, this is one of the top combat forces in our world."
Happy stood directly on Lucy's shoulder, looking at Zorn with great pride, his eyes sparkling.
He boasted to Lucy on Edolas's side.
However, Lucy and the Fairy Tail members beside her were all shocked as they stared at the enormous Magic Circle in the sky. Although they themselves did not possess Magic Power, they could still feel the overwhelming Magic Power that blotted out the sky.
Gildarts in this world also stopped fighting, gazing solemnly into the distance, even though he was quite far away.
He could also feel the oppressive force emanating from the Magic.
"Oh my god, just as you said, this man is truly terrifying!"
Gildarts's solemn expression lasted only a few seconds before he smiled and told Laxus about the fear he felt.
He was completely helpless against this kind of Magic; it was practically an overwhelming force for him.
Laxus, however, stood to the side, holding the orange cat in one hand, his eyes fixed on Zorn in the air, a smile on his lips that clearly showed his joy.
From high above, Zorn looked coldly at Brain below.
"This is the fear of death. How about it, can you feel it?"
"I don't know what gave you the illusion that the passing of life is a normal thing!"
"The Fairy Glitter!"
After Zorn finished speaking coldly, before Brain could react, the Magic Circle in the sky instantly transformed into a huge halo, enveloping the entire Capital.
The black Magic Circle on the ground shattered and disappeared the instant it came into contact with the halo.
Zorn clenched his fist tightly.
The halo instantly compressed into a single mass, radiating a dazzling light.
"Ahhh~"
The members of the Dark Guilds vanished slowly amidst their shouts.
Brain's bracelet also emitted Dark Energy, attempting to escape, but it was firmly suppressed in place, gradually disintegrating and dissipating into the air.
If we want to trace the origin of this bracelet, there is only one possibility.
That's Jellal.
After the light faded, the people in the Capital remained completely silent.
They seemed to still be recovering from the Magic attack; for a moment when they were surrounded, it was as if time had stood still.
Zorn carefully sensed the power within his body; his other power Dragon Slayer Magic, was almost fully fused with his own Magic.
