The two sides engaged in a fierce Physical Arts battle.
Both of them were almost completely exhausted.
"My comrades are fighting!" Gray clenched his fists tightly, a determined look on his face.
"We will definitely defeat you, Deliora!!" Gray roared, his voice filled with anger and determination.
At the same time, he held Juvia's hands tightly, their eyes meeting, conveying trust and courage to each other.
Lightning is often accompanied by rain.
Not far away, thunderclouds summoned by Laxus churned in the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Gray and Juvia exchanged a glance, secretly relieved that the rain had given them a perfect opportunity.
"Unison Raid - Hailstorm Rain!" Gray and Juvia shouted in unison. They gathered all their Magic Power together and, with the help of Laxus's thunderclouds, unleashed this powerful attack.
All that's needed now is a trigger.
As their combined Magic Power surged forth, the thunderclouds in the sky began to churn violently, and massive hailstones poured down from them.
Each hailstone contains its own Magic Power, crashing to the ground with unparalleled power.
"Enhanced version, Silver World, freeze everything!" Juvia shouted immediately afterward. The Magic Power in her hands surged out like a raging wave, freezing the surrounding air into ice.
The power of frost echoed in the sky, and a chilling aura spread.
The moment the hailstones hit the ground, the surrounding environment was instantly covered in ice, creating a crystal-clear world of ice and snow.
At this moment, Gray and Juvia's Magic Power and their feelings for their companions all transformed into boundless power.
As Yin watched this scene, he slowly exhaled, a layer of frost forming on his body, and the same Magic was unleashed.
"Let me, your old man, test the Bonds between you!" Silver's voice echoed in his mind.
The red ice on his body spread rapidly, colliding with the blue ice released by Gray and Juvia.
The moment the red ice collided with the blue ice, snowflakes instantly began to fall from the surrounding sky, and the whole world seemed to be encased in ice.
Snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky.
This scene caused the others, who had already finished their battles or were at the end of their fights, to look at this place with surprise and amusement.
"Are you really willing to sacrifice everything for Zeref?" Mirajane caught a snowflake in her hand, which then turned into a water droplet, and turned to say to Seilah had already lost her ability to fight.
"Of course! We are all his creations; everything originally belonged to him."
"Is that so?" Mirajane conjured a jet of dark energy in her hand and slowly walked towards Seilah.
The situation on Gray's side was completely different. The blue ice surged towards the silver like a raging tide.
Surprisingly, Yin simply chose to give up resisting, letting the blue ice pounce on him like a hungry tiger.
This sudden turn of events left Gray stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Silver in astonishment.
Just then, he noticed the look of satisfaction in Yin's eyes, which seemed to contain a profound meaning that was hard to express.
In an instant, Gray realized everything and hurriedly tried to stop the Magic.
But the power of nature is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins; it cannot be easily controlled and continues to charge forward with unstoppable momentum.
Gray could only watch helplessly as ice covered Silver's feet and calves, and gradually spread upwards.
"Being able to witness your son grow up and thrive day by day, doesn't it make you feel that even the deepest hatred can gradually be let go?"
"Does he want his own son to end his life?" Zorn's words echoed around them.
Just then, Zorn suddenly appeared behind Silver and placed his hand on Silver's shoulder without hesitation.
A warm ray of sunshine seemed to burst forth at that moment.
In the blink of an eye
The entire world of ice and snow vanished without a trace, replaced by a gentle spring breeze that brought endless vitality and life.
"Gray, what are you still standing there for? Come and see your father whom you've been missing so much!" Zorn said with a smile to Gray, who was still in a daze.
"Lord Gray's father... that... that's my..." Juvia immediately covered her mouth, blushing instantly, and realized what had happened.
She was playing really hard just now.
"Since you're here, you might as well kill me right here!" Yin said calmly.
Gray stared wide-eyed at Silver in disbelief. "What? Are you kidding me!"
He instantly flew into a rage, rushing over to grab Yin by the collar, roaring, "What did you say! How could I possibly see you die in front of me again!"
Gray's face was flushed, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with anger and resentment.
He clenched his teeth, his hands trembling slightly, as if he might lose control at any moment.
Silver's face remained expressionless as he silently gazed at Gray, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Gray released his grip, took a few steps back, and gasped for breath.
He tried to calm himself down, but the turmoil in his heart could not be quelled.
Silver continued calmly, "I was once your father."
"But now, I am neither human nor demon, but a dead man."
"I died seventeen years ago."
Silver's voice echoed in the air, like a heavy hammer striking Gray's heart.
Scenes from his childhood kept flashing through Gray's mind. Back then, he was too young and ignorant to do anything but watch helplessly as his father was crushed under a concrete slab.
Now, facing this person who was both familiar and unfamiliar, Gray felt helpless and lost.
He didn't know how to face all of this, let alone how to make a choice.
Gray's gaze involuntarily turned to Zorn, hoping to get some answers or support from him.
However, Zorn simply nodded slightly.
But then Gray suddenly remembered something.
He recalled what had happened on Demon Island.
At that time, Zorn used the power of "Super Magic" to successfully awaken Ultear once again.
If that Super Magic could be used again, perhaps Silver could be resurrected.
"By the way, Zorn, what was that Super Magic you used last time called again? Something like Three Lights... Super Magic!" Gray's voice was full of urgency and anticipation.
"It can definitely bring the dead back to life, right?!" Gray's eyes gleamed with hope as he looked at Zorn with expectant eyes. However, he sensed something was off about Zorn's expression.
"I'm sorry, Gray, but this time the situation is a little different." Zorn's tone was heavy and serious.
"No one can reverse life and death, not even Zeref. On the contrary, he bears an incredibly heavy taboo because of it."
Ur succeeded because Ur existed in another form; she transformed everything about herself—life, emotions, memories, and body—into ice.
His Magic merely reversed this form.
Gray's heart sank; the hope that had been ignited within him vanished in an instant.
He realized that his earlier fantasy was too naive, and that death in reality could not be so easily reversed.
"However... if I weren't so eager to die, I could live in this form indefinitely!" Zorn said, changing the subject.
His gaze fell on Yin, who had remained silent.
