Faced with everyone's doubts and anger, Jellal Fernandes did not panic at all. He gently adjusted his cuffs and dropped a bombshell.
"What if I told you that the person who built that tower was named Jellal?"
"Jellal?" The speaker was stunned, "Who is that?"
Jellal Fernandes's expression became extremely solemn. "Jellal, he is my twin brother."
"What?!" The congressman was shocked again.
"Not only that," Jellal Fernandes continued without giving them a chance to breathe, "His real purpose of building Tower of Heaven is to resurrect the legendary man - black Mage, Zeref!"
As soon as the three words Zeref came out, the whole conference room seemed to be drained of air.
The faces of all the congressmen turned pale as paper at this moment, and some were even so frightened that they collapsed on their chairs. That name represents the deepest fear and despair in the magical world, and is an untouchable taboo!
"Resurrect... resurrection Zeref? How could this happen!"
"If Zeref is really resurrected, the whole world will be destroyed!"
Panic spread among lawmakers like a plague.
Jellal Fernandes looked at everyone's reaction and sneered secretly.
"Now, do you still think Etherion is making a fuss out of a molehill?" Jellal Fernandes put his hands on the table and glanced at everyone with a sense of oppression, "Once Zeref is resurrected, everything will be too late. We must completely eliminate it before disaster strikes!"
"I agree!" One congressman raised his hand without hesitation.
"I agree too!"
"Second!"
In extreme fear of Zeref, the members of the parliament raised their hands to vote. The final voting result turned out to be eight to one!
Passed unanimously except for one person.
"I firmly oppose it!"
Yajima, who had been silent all this time, stood up, and his short body suddenly burst out with amazing momentum. He stared at Jellal Fernandes, his eyes full of anger.
"Jellal Fernandes! Do you know that once Etherion falls, not only the tower, but also the innocent civilians captured in the tower, and even the Mage of Fairy Tail fighting there, will all be wiped out!"
Yajima's voice trembled, "Can you bear the responsibility of so many victims!"
Facing Yajima's questioning, the expression on Jellal Fernandes's face did not change at all. He raised his chin slightly and said righteously, "In order to save the entire world, necessary sacrifices are inevitable. If history is to investigate, I, Jellal Fernandes, am willing to bear all these sins!"
Yajima closed his eyes in despair. He understood that the overall situation had been decided and there was nothing he could do to save himself.
At the same time, Tower of Heaven bottoms.
The battle has entered a fever pitch.
"Wing Attack of the Fire Dragon!"
Natsu's arms ignited with flames and swept out like dragon wings, sending a dozen soldiers flying.
"Ice Make·Ice Make: Ice Geyser!"
Gray held an ice sword in his hand and rushed left and right in the enemy formation. Wherever he passed, the soldiers were frozen one after another.
"Virgo, bury them all!" Lucy commanded Celestial Spirit to dig holes underground frantically, letting a large number of soldiers fall into the trap.
"Water Lock!" Juvia controlled the water flow, trapping dozens of soldiers and making them unconscious.
However, there were too many enemies, and they seemed to be pouring out of the tower in a steady stream.
"It's really endless."
Lu Chongwei snorted coldly, and the Ryujin Jakka in his hand once again burst into bright golden light.
"Since you like to die so much, then I'll let you die."
Lu Chongwei raised the long knife high, and the terrifying high temperature made the surrounding air emit a harsh explosion.
"Matsumi!"
He slashed it with a knife!
A golden pillar of fire like a tornado rose from the ground, carrying the power of burning the sky and destroying the earth, and was directly involved in the area with the highest concentration of soldiers.
"Ahhhhhh--!"
The shrill screams were drowned out by the roar of the flames. Under this extreme high temperature, even the steel was melted into molten iron. Large swaths of soldiers did not even have time to escape before they were completely swallowed up by this golden storm of destruction and turned into fly ash.
With just one move, thousands of soldiers were completely cleared!
Natsu and the others looked at the charred land and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Zhongwei brother's destructive power... is really exaggerated." Gray wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, Tower of Heaven vibrated violently.
Accompanied by the harsh sound of mechanical friction, a wide steel staircase slowly extended from the inside of the tower and hit the ground heavily in front of everyone, stirring up dust all over the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a voice full of joking and arrogance clearly reached everyone's ears through the magic loudspeaker.
"Well done, you are worthy of Fairy Tail."
Jellal's voice echoed in the night sky, revealing a calmness that had everything under control.
"The door has been opened for you. Come in, intruders. Treat this as a game. As long as you can make it to the top of the tower alive, I will give you a chance to challenge me."
Jellal's tone suddenly became cold and full of murderous intent.
"Especially you, the man who uses fire. You will be my perfect opponent."
Tower of Heaven Top.
Jellal sits on a gorgeous throne.
There was a chessboard in front of him. The pieces on the chessboard represented everyone in the tower.
"Master Jellal, what are you waiting for?"
Vidaldus stood aside with an anxious expression. His long hair was windless and his eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light.
"Erza has come in, let me catch her and complete the resurrection ceremony immediately!"
Jellal said nothing.
His slender fingers gently rubbed a chess piece marked with a sun pattern. That was the chess piece representing Lu Chongwei.
"No rush."
Jellal smiled. He placed the sun chess piece in his hand heavily in the center of the chessboard.
"The game has just begun."
Jellal raised his head with deep eyes.
"Vidaldus, you can take action now. Let me see how far these so-called goblins can struggle."
"Yes! Lord Jellal!"
Vidaldus let out a wild the Roar sound.
The magic power on his body surged like a volcanic eruption. His originally thin body instantly swelled, his muscles bulged, and his long hair stood upside down like steel needles. A violent sonic magic power raged in the hall.
"Tap, step, step."
Heavy footsteps came from the shadows.
Two figures walked out slowly. One was a burly weirdo with a Owl head, Xiao. The other was a cold and charming woman wearing a kimono and holding a long sword, Ikaruga.
Assassination guild Skull Guild, Trinity Raven, all members are assembled.
"Go, my killers."
Jellal waved his hand.
"Bring the prey to me."
Trinity Raven took the order and disappeared in the hall instantly.
