"Did the Demon God's Soul come?"
"Is it really coming from the sky?"
On the streets of Crocus, the mages and royal soldiers all took a deep breath as they watched the massive dark castle slowly descending from the sky, along with the countless black spots—these were the figures of the Demon Army.
Even those with the toughest nerves realized the perilous situation they were about to face.
Watching the reactions of the people below, the first throne, Lance, standing proudly on the castle wall, remained expressionless.
Slowly, he extended his palm and pressed downward.
Boom!
A deafening sound that seemed capable of rupturing eardrums echoed throughout Crocus.
In the center of the Mercurius Palace, a massive crater exploded with a single strike from Lance.
The people in the Mercurius Palace square were all thrown out by the blast, and the force of the attack nearly caused the entire palace to collapse.
"Is it really... this powerful?"
Princess Hisui, who had been blown away by the shockwave, gazed at the enormous castle that had landed in the center of Mercurius Palace, as well as the demons marching in all directions, murmuring in a daze.
"It's impossible to win against such monsters!"
Even the most loyal of soldiers couldn't help but feel that they were on the brink of collapse, overwhelmed by the sight before them.
"It's too late! We're finished!" Ed groaned in pain, grabbing his brown hair.
"All of this... was it a lie? The so-called legendary temple... turned out to be a dark artifact. How could this happen?" Princess Hisui shed tears.
"Ed, how did you realize that this wasn't the legendary temple?" Wendy asked urgently.
"Because I sensed it..."
"Sensed it?"
Ed looked at the black palace before him, clenched his fists, and said, "Even though this palace shines with dazzling light on the surface, it still couldn't hide from me. When this palace awakened, the dark waves it emitted were unmistakable. This is not the legendary temple of light, but the temple of the dark gods—essentially, the Demon Palace."
"How could this be? It's all because of me. It's because I made the wrong choice... The world is about to be destroyed. The world will be stained red by the Demon God's evil hands," Princess Hisui whispered regretfully.
"It's not over yet," a clear voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
They turned to see Noel, his expression serious, standing on the Mercurius Palace plaza, gazing at the massive dark magic castle.
Ishu followed behind him, his face also grim.
"Noel!"
"Noel-nii!"
Upon seeing Noel's figure, the members of Fairy Tail seemed to find their pillar of support and joyfully called out.
"How did this happen? The temple that was revived isn't the Temple of Light, but the Temple of Darkness?"
Ishu's forehead had beads of cold sweat.
No one understood the consequences of this situation more than him, and because of this, he was more anxious and nervous than anyone else.
"Why didn't Colonel Arcadios revive the Temple of Light like I said?"
"You said? How could that be? I was told that the one who revived the temple was a girl with black twin tails. Colonel Arcadios never said anything about it," Princess Hisui said, surprised.
"A girl with black twin tails..." Ishu's face turned ashen. "...Could it be Tsukiyo?"
"Colonel Arcadios is also missing," Darton said as he looked around.
"Could he have been blown away to another location in the recent attack?"
"Alright, now is not the time to assign blame," Noel took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
"The situation has progressed to this point, and we are in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous position. The Demon God's Soul and Zeref's demon army , the enemies we are about to face, are beyond imagination, and we cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake. However, it is still far from the point of surrender."
"Do we still have a chance to win?"
"Yes, we have one final chance," Noel nodded.
............
Inside the Dark Magic Castle.
The second throne, occupied by Tsukiyo, sat calmly on her own seat, her blue pupils emotionlessly gazing downward.
Below, a figure lay.
It was the unconscious dark mage, Zeref, but his condition was strange.
His body was bound by black energy chains as thick as an infant's arm, and his neck was pierced with several tubes.
Streams of black, unidentified energy were being siphoned from his body and transferred through the tubes to an odd-looking device behind him.
"Zeref, not such a simple character, huh?"
A voice, filled with amusement, suddenly echoed through the hall that should have been empty except for Tsukiyo.
Upon hearing the voice, Tsukiyo tilted her head slightly, and the figures of Garlos and Stella slowly emerged from a distant, open space.
"If it weren't for using his power, creating the demon army wouldn't have been so easy. Fortunately, when we captured him, he hadn't fully recovered; otherwise, only you and Lance working together might have had a chance to capture him," Garlos remarked softly as he looked at Zeref below.
"You've returned. Everything is proceeding smoothly here. The tens of thousands of demon troops created using Zeref's power are all in place. As long as we continue, once Master completes the final ritual using the power of the Dark God's Temple, everything will be over," Tsukiyo said, not responding to Garlos but instead shifting the topic.
"Indeed," Garlos sighed lightly and said, "Next, it depends on how Lord Nord and his team respond."
"Hmm? From what you're saying, it seems that Lord Nord and his team still have a chance?" Stella asked with a furrowed brow.
"Of course, after all, we're talking about Lord Nord," Garlos nodded.
"They still have one way to turn the tide, and that's to defeat us, the Demon God's Soul before the situation becomes irreversible."
"How is that even possible?" Stella sneered at Garlos's words.
"Just them? Given the current situation, there's no way they can gather a large force to infiltrate the Dark Magic Castle. At most, they'll manage a few elite squads. Do you really think there's anyone in all of Crocus who can defeat us?"
"Infiltrate the Demon God's Castle?!" After hearing Noel's words, everyone else showed surprised expressions.
"Yes, this is our only chance," Noel nodded.
"However, the enemy will certainly anticipate this. Not only can they wait for us with ease, but they also have the advantage of terrain. We are at a disadvantage from the very beginning, but now this is the only method left."
Noel said halfway through before turning to Hisui: "Princess, I hope you can temporarily hold back the Demon Army and give us the opportunity to enter the Dark Castle."
"I understand. But do we have a chance? After all, they are the Demon God's Soul guild."
"If anyone in this world can defeat the Demon God's Soul, it's our guild."
Noel said softly, his eyes filled with determination.
