Fairy Tail Destiny-Chapter 178: Ch : The Impending Despair

On a small, narrow reef not far from Tenrou Island, the Council's troops, whose battleship had been destroyed by Azuma, were now gathered.

"Alright, is everyone safe? Move the wounded to the tents set up on the reef and quickly tend to their injuries. The equipment repairs can wait," ordered Lahar, the captain of the Fourth Independent Custody Enforcement Unit of the newly formed Council.

He had previously been responsible for arresting Jellal and Richard during the Oracion Seis incident.

"Next, we will commence the island landing operation. Those who are ready—" Lahar was in the middle of speaking when a man suddenly appeared beside him out of thin air.

The man had a buzz cut, wore a red-and-orange striped outfit, and bore a scar on his face.

His body was covered in wounds.

Seeing this man in such a state, Lahar was momentarily stunned before asking in surprise, "Doranbolt? How could someone with your skills be so badly injured?"

"I'm fine. What about the condition of the battleship?" Mest—no, he should be called Doranbolt—shook his head, indicating that he was not seriously injured, and then shifted the conversation to the status of the battleship.

"It's not in perfect condition, but fortunately, no one was killed," Lahar replied with a slight tone of relief.

"Is the communication lacrima still functional?"

"It's still intact, fortunately. What exactly is happening on the island?"

Upon hearing Lahar's question, Doranbolt's expression grew serious.

His voice was heavy as he said, "Fairy Tail, Grimoire Heart, and the Dark Mage Zeref—these three forces have begun their confrontation on Tenrou Island. The attack on the fleet just now was carried out by Grimoire Heart. I need to use the communication lacrima immediately—this must be reported to headquarters..."

"Is that so? Wait, Doranbolt, look over there! What is that?"

Lahar suddenly seemed to notice something, his expression changing drastically as he interrupted Doranbolt and pointed toward the sky in the distance.

Doranbolt was momentarily stunned before following Lahar's gaze.

In the sky, a massive purple battleship had appeared above Tenrou Island, slowly descending from the clouds.

On the hull of the purple battleship, a distinct black cross emblem was clearly engraved.

Upon seeing that emblem, Doranbolt's expression instantly turned ashen.

His lips trembled slightly before he managed to force out a few words with great difficulty: "That... could it be... the Demon God's Soul?"

"Unbelievable," Lahar muttered, cold sweat forming on his forehead as he nodded with difficulty.

"How could this happen... Even Demon God's Soul has descended upon Tenrou Island... Just what kind of chaos is about to unfold?" Doranbolt clenched his fists, his mind thrown into turmoil.

"The four greatest thorns in the Magic Council's side have all gathered in one place... What are the odds of something like this happening? Chairman Gran Doma is known for his strict judgment and his unwavering stance on eradicating evil forces. Could it be that the Light of Judgment, which was once sealed away, is about to be unleashed again? No... more likely, it is certain to fall."

"You mean Etherion?" Doranbolt's face changed dramatically, a hint of panic in his tone.

Lahar's expression was complicated as he replied, "We can only obey the decisions of our superiors."

"W-Wait! I understand that the Council sees Fairy Tail as a thorn in its side, but they can't be compared to the Demon God's Soul, Grimoire Heart, or Zeref!"

"It's not our decision to make." Lahar shook his head.

"Alright, let's contact headquarters immediately. This situation is far beyond what we can handle, and it's certainly not something Fairy Tail can deal with either. As for the final decision... that is something beyond our authority."

As he spoke, Lahar had already placed his hand on the communication crystal.

Bang!

Suddenly, Doranbolt made his move, slapping Lahar's hand away.

With a serious expression, he said, "Give me a little time."

"What are you trying to do, Doranbolt?"

Doranbolt didn't answer Lahar.

Instead, he placed his hand on the communication crystal, and under the astonished gazes of those around him, both he and the crystal vanished from the ship.

"Fairy Tail... and Ishu, considering you once saved my life, I'll give you some advice. If you want to survive, you should leave this island as soon as possible."

Lying on the ground, Ophelia gazed at the sky, which had gradually shifted from blue to a soft red as dusk approached, and spoke slowly.

Hearing Ophelia's words, Natsu, who was carrying a heavily injured Ishu on his back, frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Why should we leave Tenrou Island? If anyone should leave, it's you guys."

"If you don't leave, you will die. My master and the other Thrones have already arrived. I am ranked sixth among the Thrones of Demon God's Soul, and ahead of me are five others, all much stronger than I am. Some of them could even kill me instantly. Do you truly believe you stand a chance against them, Fairy Tail wizards?" Ophelia's voice was calm, as if she were merely stating a simple fact.

"No way... With your strength, you're only ranked sixth?" Wendy asked in shock.

Makarov, who was resting under a tree nearby, slightly changed expression upon hearing Ophelia's words.

"You're one of the Thrones of Demon God's Soul? So, Demon God's Soul has come to this island as well?"

"Ugh..." At that moment, Ishu, who was being supported by Natsu, slowly opened his eyes.

"Ishu! You're awake!" Natsu said excitedly.

"Ishu!" Wendy exclaimed in relief.

"Natsu, Wendy... Master Makarov... listen to me carefully," Ishu spoke weakly to them.

"Take your guild members and leave this island—immediately! If Ophelia is here, then the others must have arrived as well. If you fight them head-on, you have no chance. You need to get out now, while you still can... Quickly—"

Before he could finish, Ishu lost consciousness again.

.............

On the shores of Tenrou Island, a brown-haired youth strolled leisurely onto Grimoire Heart's battleship.

His manner was relaxed, making no attempt to conceal his presence, moving openly and boldly.

Strangely enough, the Grimoire Heart members stationed on the ship—those patrolling its decks—seemed completely unaware of him.

Even when they brushed past him, they showed no reaction at all.

"Hmm, so this is Grimoire Heart's battleship? Seems a little inferior compared to Reign's," Garlos mused playfully, surveying the ship with interest before making his way inside.

"Alright then, where is Grimoire Heart's master, Hades? Let's finish this quickly."

The shadow of the Demon God had officially descended upon Tenrou Island.
