Chapter Summaries

Ywen took command of the Magic Council’s special attack force and led it to Labyrinth City, Rayburn, despite his soldiers’ doubts. He left the transport to confront the Dark Magic Cult alone, and his power stunned the force as meteors began falling over the city.

• Ywen arrived at the training grounds, ordered the assembled special attack force to deploy immediately, and threatened to remove anyone who did not board within a minute.
• Ywen named Labyrinth City, Rayburn, as their destination and said he alone would deal with the Dark Magic Cult while the force arranged a prison for over a thousand captives.
• During the flight, Keith criticized Ywen’s plan, while Laharl hoped a failed mission would give them grounds to challenge his appointment; Ywen overheard them with Observation Haki.
• After the transport reached Rayburn, Keith explained that the city’s underground maze made suppression difficult and proposed sealing the entrances and sweeping the city with at least ten thousand soldiers.
• Ywen told the force to contact a prison, flew out of the transport, and caused the entire city to roar as Keith and Laharl recognized him as the true Ywen of 'Starfall'.

The Dark Magic Cult in Labyrinth City celebrated after hearing that Josen had been replaced, but their leader dismissed warnings that the new captain was Starfall Ywen. Ywen lifted the city into the sky, destroyed the cult’s underground labyrinth with a meteor, and captured the cultists, leaving them in his grasp.

• The Dark Magic Cult’s leader celebrated Josen’s dismissal and planned to expand, while an intelligence cadre warned that the new captain might be Starfall Ywen.
• The leader dismissed the warning, and the cultists continued celebrating until tremors and a blast shook their basement.
• A cultist reported that Labyrinth City had risen into the sky, and the leader emerged to see the city floating above the clouds.
• A crimson meteor passed the leader and destroyed the labyrinth beneath the city, leaving him devastated over the loss of his ancestors’ legacy.
• Ywen seized the leader and the other cultists with hands of flaming clouds and revealed himself as the one who had come to capture them.

Ywen captured the Dark Magic Cult in Labyrinth City and moved on to hunt more cults with the Special Operations Unit. At a Magic Council meeting, a bribed member tried to promote Jose Porla for the Ten Wizard Saints, but the chairman defended Ywen and blamed Labyrinth City for being thrown into the sky.

• Ywen captured all 1,134 members of the Dark Magic Cult in Labyrinth City, destroyed the underground maze, and left Zorn's squad to guard the prisoners.
• Ywen led the rest of the Special Operations Unit toward the Carkel Mountains to confront another cult, and Keith explained that the cult had hollowed out the range as a fortress.
• Ywen decided to destroy the mountain range if necessary, and Keith assured him that the Magic Council would handle the consequences of his official mission.
• After Ywen and the Special Operations Unit wiped out eight cults in a week, Magic Council members praised his results and discussed naming him one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
• A council member who had accepted Jose Porla's bribe opposed Ywen's selection and proposed Jose instead, but the chairman demanded to know why Labyrinth City had obstructed Ywen's law enforcement.
• The chairman insisted Labyrinth City was at fault for being thrown into the sky, and the bribed council member realized the Magic Council would defend Ywen's actions.

After three months of hunting Dark Magic Cults, Ywen used his collected medals to raise his Devil Fruit abilities to Level 10 and awaken their powers. Laharl and Keith then brought him a lead on the Paradise cult, leaving Ywen ready to investigate.

• The Magic Council ignored a bribed councilor's defense of Ywen, and Ywen's appointment as a Ten Wizard Saint was nearly settled.
• Ywen's team eliminated forty-four Dark Magic Cults, then shifted to gathering intelligence as the cults hid and relocated.
• Ywen combined his medals, upgraded his Devil Fruit abilities and attributes to Level 10, and awakened the powers of his three Devil Fruits.
• The awakenings strengthened Ywen's recovery, weather control, and command over gravitational fields, while his Dragon, God, and Demon Seeds reached minor completion.
• Laharl and Keith argued over who had found the intelligence before Laharl told Ywen they had a lead on the Paradise cult.

Laharl uncovered likely Paradise Cult targets but warned that a Magic Council insider could be leaking intelligence, so Ywen ordered surveillance of the councilors. After deciding to place an undercover agent in a target village, they chose Ywen, whose age made him a suitable target for abduction; a week later, he entered Rosemary Village disguised as an escaped begging child.

• Laharl reported that the Paradise Cult might attack several villages, and Ywen ordered a strike against them.
• Laharl warned Ywen that a cult spy within the Magic Council might be exposing their investigations, so Ywen ordered him to watch the councilors.
• Ywen and Laharl decided they needed an inconspicuous undercover agent who could pass as a child in a target village.
• Keith pointed out that twelve- or thirteen-year-old Ywen fit the cult's target profile, and Ywen agreed to go undercover himself.
• A week later, Ywen entered Rosemary Village disguised as a begging child who had escaped a cult attack and become separated from the adults.

Ywen waited in Rosemary Village for the Paradise Cult’s attack, befriended Kagura and Simon, and secretly protected the villagers when the cult invaded. After Kagura hid in a magically sealed water vat and Ywen let himself be captured, the Magic Council’s assault team arrived to rescue her.

• Ywen disguised himself as a beggar and waited in Rosemary Village, where Kagura shared her candy with him and he recognized her brother Simon.
• Kagura and Simon visited Ywen over the following months, sharing food with him until the Paradise Cult attacked the village.
• Ywen secretly used his magic to prevent deaths and injuries as the cultists captured villagers and children.
• Kagura told Ywen that Simon had been captured so she could escape, and Ywen hid her in a magically sealed water vat and promised to save her brother.
• Ywen let the cultists capture him while leaving a coded signal for the Magic Council’s special assault team.
• The assault team found Ywen’s markings and opened the water vat to rescue Kagura.

Ywen endured a three-month journey through the Paradise Cult’s secret transfer network and finally arrived at Paradise, where he was imprisoned with the abducted children. He planned to rescue them at night and locate Simon, then recognized a familiar voice from the cell behind him.

• Laharl and Keith tried to coax little Kagura out of hiding, but she took Keith’s candy and refused to go with them, citing Ywen’s warning about sugar-coated bribes.
• Ywen secretly healed and calmed the children during their transport, then tracked them with magic as the cultists moved them through separate routes and transfer points.
• After three months, Ywen arrived by ship at Paradise and learned that the cult used multiple carefully isolated routes to keep the Tower of Heaven hidden.
• Ywen chose to wait until the children were locked away before attacking the cultists, and he resolved to find Simon, whom the cult had transported separately.
• The cultists registered Ywen and placed him in a prison cell, where a familiar voice from the cell behind him called his name.

Ywen reunited with Simon in Paradise’s prison and reassured him that Kagura was safe. While keeping his identity secret, Ywen met the other captive children and caught Rob’s attention when he recognized the Fairy Tail mark on Ywen’s hand.

• Ywen found Simon unharmed in the prison, and Simon worried aloud about what had happened to Kagura.
• Ywen told Simon that he had hidden Kagura safely before being captured, easing Simon’s worry and prompting him to vow to help Ywen escape.
• Ywen considered how to dismantle the Tower of Heaven while waiting for late night, when he planned to capture the Dark Mages outside.
• Simon introduced Ywen to Sho, Wally, Jellal, Millianna, and the other children, asking them to look after him.
• Rob recognized the faint Fairy Tail mark on Ywen’s hand, and Ywen signaled him to stay quiet.

Ywen reassured Rob that Fairy Tail and Makarov were safe, then explained that he had come to destroy the Tower of Heaven. Rob agreed to help protect the children during Ywen’s planned attack that night.

• Ywen told Rob that Makarov was well and Fairy Tail had become the top guild in the Fiore Kingdom.
• Rob warned Ywen that the Tower of Heaven was too dangerous to face alone, but Ywen said he was an S-Class Mage and had a Ten Wizard Saints companion.
• Simon introduced Ywen to Rob and asked Rob to look after Ywen, believing him to be physically weak.
• Ywen used Telepathic Communication Magic to tell Rob that he planned to destroy Paradise that night and needed Rob to lead the children to safety.
• Rob agreed to help the children escape and revealed that he still had one strike of magic power left.

Ywen used Silence and telepathy magic to organize an escape from the Tower of Heaven, restoring Rob’s magic and defeating the guards as he freed the captives. He destroyed the tower’s defenses and the Paradise Cult outpost with a gravity attack, leaving Rob and the children stunned by his strength.

• Ywen silenced the Tower of Heaven and connected the imprisoned people through telepathy, then told Rob and the children how to escape.
• Ywen enhanced Rob’s health and restored his magic power, then silently blasted open the cell door and defeated the prison guards.
• Ywen opened every cell and instructed the captives to follow Rob while he cleared the way outside.
• Ywen used Gravity Fist: Fierce Tiger to destroy the guards, walls, and gates, and the attack’s wave triggered a tsunami that swept away the Paradise Cult outpost.
• Rob led the freed captives to Ywen, while Jellal, Simon, and Rob reacted with astonishment at the destruction and Ywen’s power.

After destroying Paradise’s dock and ships, Ywen tried to build a replacement, then uprooted a mountain and flattened it into a bridge to carry the captives to the opposite shore. The rescued people began crossing while Jellal and Simon stayed behind to ask Ywen what he would do.

• Ywen failed to assemble a proper ship from the dock’s wreckage, so he flew to a nearby mountain.
• Ywen uprooted the mountain with his Gravity Fruit and carried it back to Paradise.
• Ywen flattened the mountain into a bridge across the water and told the captives the cult on the far shore had been swept away.
• Rob led the captives onto the bridge as they ran toward the opposite shore.
• Jellal and Simon stayed with Ywen and offered to help, but he told them to go ahead and wait for him.

Ywen sent the rescued captives fleeing while he stayed behind at the Tower of Heaven to confront its people. After restoring sound to Paradise, he faced the pursuing soldiers and magical beasts, which cowered before his Haki.

• Ywen urged Jellal, Simon, and the other captives to escape, using magic to help them run quickly.
• Jellal vowed to become someone who could help Ywen, while Simon promised himself he would repay Ywen for helping him and Kagura.
• After the last captive crossed the bridge, Ywen turned back toward the Tower of Heaven, determined to punish its people for their crimes.
• Ywen ended the Silence Magic, and the Tower's soldiers discovered the escape and charged after the captives.
• The soldiers ordered their dog-like magical beasts to attack Ywen, but the beasts froze, then rolled over and exposed their bellies as his Haki overwhelmed them.

Ywen severed the contracts controlling Paradise’s magical beasts, then summoned a meteor that obliterated the Tower of Heaven. Afterward, he unleashed terrifying gravity across the island as aurora-colored light appeared in the sky.

• Ywen broke the Paradise soldiers’ contracts with their magical beasts, causing the beasts to attack their former masters.
• Some soldiers dismissed their summoned beasts, while others were injured; the remaining beasts and wounded soldiers were blasted with Fire Magic.
• Ywen warned the advancing soldiers that a delivery was coming, and a meteor descended through the clouds.
• The Paradise Dark Mages recognized Ywen as Fairy Tail’s Ywen of Starfall just before the meteor struck and nearly destroyed the Tower of Heaven.
• Ywen praised the Tower’s durability, then unleashed powerful gravity across the remaining island as an aurora appeared overhead.

Jellal watched Ywen’s magic strike the Tower of Heaven while Rob identified the meteor as the legendary True Celestial Magic, Star Collapse. Ywen’s endless aurora barrage left Jellal determined to learn Celestial Magic and made him admire Ywen.

• Jellal watched the meteor fall toward the Tower of Heaven as Rob explained that Ywen had used the lost True Celestial Magic, Star Collapse.
• Jellal asked whether he could someday learn Star Collapse, and Rob encouraged him to work hard and believe in himself.
• Ywen appeared in the sky, then filled it with multicolored auroras that rained destructive beams of light onto the island.
• Rob guessed that Ywen’s next spell might be Seven Star Sword Rain, though he could not see its magic circle or identify it with certainty.
• Jellal declared that he wanted to learn Celestial Magic and become like Ywen, while Ywen continued blasting the island.

Ywen overwhelmed Paradise’s remaining fighters with a deadly rain of light, then watched its upper ranks surrender after learning their bishop had fled. He captured the cult members and decided to shift his next six months of investigation toward Brain, who had escaped.

• A Paradise mage ambushed Ywen with a spear, but Ywen’s body let the weapon pass through, and he blasted the mage away with a beam of light.
• Ywen unleashed a second bombardment on the ruins of Paradise, forcing the remaining cult members to burn through their defensive magic items.
• Ywen deliberately allowed a messenger to go summon the bishop while he wore down the upper ranks’ resolve.
• The messenger returned and announced that the bishop was gone, prompting Paradise’s upper ranks to abandon their barrier and surrender.
• Ywen realized Brain had likely fled before his arrival and decided to investigate Brain instead of focusing on the Tower of Heaven.
• Ywen captured the surrendered upper ranks and the surviving cult members for the Magic Council to judge.

Ywen coordinated the Magic Council’s response after the Tower of Heaven was defeated and learned that Councilor Byrne had leaked information to Brain, who escaped with five children. After claiming an SS-Class Mission Medal, Ywen flew to meet Rob and the freed captives.

Ywen explained that he had infiltrated Diemixiang Village as a Fairy Tail mage and Magic Council commander to stop the Tower of Heaven Demon Cult. He offered to erase everyone's memories of Paradise, but the children chose to keep them, leaving Ywen to consider where they should go next.

• Ywen explained his Fairy Tail and Magic Council roles, his disguise, and his mission to destroy the Tower of Heaven Demon Cult, then apologized for hiding his identity.
• Ywen proposed erasing everyone's memories of Paradise, but Simon refused, saying the painful memories would guide him and help him understand his weakness.
• Jellal also refused, saying Paradise held beautiful memories and had shown him the magic he wanted to pursue; Wally, Millianna, and Sho chose to keep their memories too.
• Ywen accepted the children's decision and considered sending them home, helping them join a Mage Guild, or placing them in the Magic Council's care.

Ywen helped Rob choose a future in the Magic Council and offered Jellal and the others several paths forward. Jellal chose to work at the Council, while Ywen imagined Fairy Tail gaining enough influence there to replace its chairman with Warrod Sequen.

• Ywen suggested Rob become a Magic Council member alongside Yajima, and Rob accepted so he could continue helping Fairy Tail.
• Ywen offered Jellal, Simon, Wally, Millianna, and Sho the choices of joining a guild, working at the Magic Council, or returning to their villages.
• Jellal said he wanted to work at the Magic Council to support Ywen and ease the pressure on Fairy Tail.

• Ywen decided he should find time to visit Warrod Sequen.

Simon decided to join the Special Operations Team to fight the Dark Magic Cult, while Wally and Sho planned to work at the Magic Council and Millianna chose to go home. After Kagura reunited with Ywen and Simon, Simon resolved to ask Ywen for something.

• Simon told Ywen he wanted to join the Special Operations Team, and Ywen accepted his decision.

• Ywen sent Laharl and Keith to deliver the captured Dark Mages to prison, then comforted Kagura and brought her to Simon.
• Kagura embraced Simon and told him she had feared she would never see him again, and Simon decided to ask Ywen for something.

Simon asked Ywen to look after Kagura while he trained for the Magic Council’s Special Operations Team, and Ywen agreed after checking that Kagura wanted to go with him. Ywen reflected on raising his own younger sister, Erza, and imagined Kagura becoming her companion.

• Simon asked Ywen to take Kagura to Fairy Tail while he trained, and Ywen agreed to care for her.
• Ywen asked Kagura what she wanted, and Kagura chose to go with him because she would still see Simon again and liked being with Ywen.
