From the mont Ron stepped into the magic crystal, the clamor and fierce battle outside were completely cut off.
At this very mont.
Ron felt as if he had been transported to a bizarre and surreal dinsion.
There was no concept of up, down, left, or right here, only endless, viscous, liquid-like, deep blue magic power flowing slowly.
It was energy in its purest form.
Vast, imnse, and heavy, carrying a pressure capable of crushing any will.
If an ordinary Wizard were to accidentally wander in here, they would likely be assimilated by this terrifying concentration of magic power in re monts.
But Ron was different.
He floated in this deep blue ocean of magic power, like an infant returning to the womb, comfortable and greedy.
Swish!
His eyes snapped open.
At this mont, his heterochromatic blue and gold eyes erupted with an unprecedented, captivating brilliance!
"So this is... inside the R-System."
Ron raised his slender fingers, gently tracing the void with his fingertip, creating a series of ripples.
Under his movent, the viscous magic power around him docilely dispersed.
The spell circuits in the deepest part of the R-System were revealed before him without reservation.
The path of every magic circuit, the rhythm of every node, the flow of every fraction of magic...
Under his gaze, nothing could hide!
If he wanted to, in the blink of an eye, he could easily manipulate this forbidden magic that could reverse life and death.
"Truly an astonishing creation..."
Ron sighed in admiration.
Then, with a slight shift of his mind, he reached his palm out into the void.
Hum—
The space rippled, and a massive ice sculpture appeared out of thin air.
It was the demon sealed by Iced Shell, stripped of its soul and dead in body—Deliora!
"Now, it is ti for you to serve your final purpose."
The R-System requires sacrifices to resurrect the dead, and the powerful demon body before him was undoubtedly the best substitute.
With a flick of Ron's finger, Deliora transford into fuel to thoroughly ignite the R-System.
"Although everyone has their own story and ending..."
He stroked the empty ice before him, whispering with a touch of emotion.
"Since I happen to be here, let make up for this regret."
As he spoke, Ron gave a gentle push.
The ice that Ur had beco was subrged by the ocean of magic power, and the surface of the ice was instantly covered in dense markings.
Crack, crack.
A faint cracking sound rang out.
It was not breaking, but being reborn!
The once dead-silent ice began to slowly radiate vitality.
After finishing all this, Ron looked around, his brows slightly raised.
Even after activating the R-System, the magic power in this space remained abundant!
"No wonder in the original plot, the Tower of Heaven didn't last long before it was on the verge of collapse."
"Besides the damage caused by the battle, this massive amount of magic power that defies common sense was the main reason!"
After all, the R-System theoretically requires 2.7 billion Edea in magic power, but the Anima that descended was far more than that.
"Side quest completed, now..."
Ron took a deep breath and opened his arms, as if embracing the entire world.
"It's ti for the main quest!"
Boom—!!!
A bright red magic circle, identical to the one outside but far more complex and profound, suddenly appeared on Ron's body.
The magic circle only trembled slightly, yet it stirred up raging waves in this calm ocean of magic power!
The previously still magic power, like a flood finding an outlet, ford a massive funnel-shaped vortex.
And at the center of the vortex was Ron!
All the magic power, like a whale swallowing the ocean, rushed madly into Ron's body!
...
Outside, at the top of the Tower of Heaven.
Rumble—!
The entire tower let out a groan of unbearable strain.
The magic circles that were originally just wrapped around the tower now seed to co alive, flickering and vibrating constantly.
"This... what is going on?!"
Natsu forced Jellal back with a punch, looking at the ground vibrating wildly beneath his feet.
"Is the tower going to collapse?"
"No, that's not it!"
Erza held her long sword, her gaze fixed on the direction of the magic crystal.
Suddenly, she seed to think of sothing, a look of relief appearing on her lips.
"Jellal, will you still not admit defeat? Your plan has completely failed!"
Her voice was calm, but her heart was incredibly excited.
'This dark place, this location of sin, this illusory paradise, finally...'
'Is going to be completely destroyed!!!'
"Shut up!!"
Jellal roared, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the magic crystal.
"Until the end, who knows what the outco will be!"
Having regained his reason, he certainly wouldn't believe the absurd notion that Ron was a follower of Zeref.
Although he didn't know what the other party was doing right now, he trusted the R-System created by Zeref.
It would never be used by others just like that!
Perhaps this is what they call—not giving up until all hope is lost!
"Stubborn!" Erza shook her head.
Suddenly.
Hum—!
The bright red magic circle that had been flickering non-stop, at this mont, eerily ca to a complete standstill.
Violent winds swept through!
Huge waves surged to the heavens!
The stars reversed their positions!
Imdiately after—
An ancient, suffocating pressure, even more terrifying than when the Anima descended, descended upon everyone without warning.
"This... this presence..."
Jellal's pupils constricted to the size of pinpricks, and his body froze in place uncontrollably.
This feeling was not like facing a powerful Wizard.
It was more like...
An ant looking up at the firmant!
A mortal looking directly at a god!
At this mont.
Whether it was Erza, Natsu, or Jellal confronting each other at the top of the tower.
Or Lucy, Gray, and the others watching with concern from the distant sea surface.
Or even the Council mbers watching from thousands of miles away via satellite.
In the depths of everyone's souls, they felt an irrepressible trembling and shivering!
That was the biological instinct called fear when facing an absolutely superior life form!
...
Magic Council, Era.
A deathly silence blanketed the entire hall.
All the Council mbers stared blankly at the screen that had completely lost its image.
"Just now... what was that?!"
Jura's voice beca shrill with terror.
"Re-report!"
The person in charge of monitoring the footage was covered in sweat, their voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Unable to analyze! Completely unable to analyze!"
...
Tower of Heaven.
Everyone had to stop what they were doing and look in horror at the sky, where the wind and clouds had suddenly changed.
The originally clear night sky was now completely dark.
The wind stilled!
The waves stopped!
Ti stood still at this mont!
The world was waiting for a god to descend!!!
In this deathly silence, a gaze ignored everyone and directly crossed space.
Locking onto the inside of the R-System!!!
