"You said you want to destroy Nirvana?!"
A flash of shock passed through Erza's eyes.
"I have already input an autonomous collapse magic array. Before long, Nirvana will self-destruct. I just didn't expect someone to rush inside..."
As Jellal spoke, numerous magical patterns suddenly appeared on the outer barrier of Nirvana behind him, spreading like an intricate spider web.
Seeing this, Cobra hurriedly ran to the magic array, attempting to alter the autonomous collapse magic, but the complexity of the array far exceeded his expectations.
"What kind of high-level magic array is this?! At this rate, Nirvana will be destroyed..."
Giving up on modifying it, Cobra turned his furious gaze toward Jellal.
"Jellal, tell me the deactivation password now!"
"Stop! Jellal, Noel is still inside!!"
Erza also realized the gravity of the situation.
Noel had just charged into Nirvana, and if it self-destructed now, he would be in grave danger.
A flicker of panic crossed Erza's pupils.
"Stop the magic array right now, Jellal!!"
"Erza..." A look of hesitation surfaced on Jellal's face before he finally nodded. "I..."
Before Jellal could finish speaking, his face suddenly contorted in pain, and a small purple autonomous collapse magic array appeared at the center of his body.
Erza's pupils slightly contracted.
"Hmph, an autonomous collapse magic array? What a hassle."
Suddenly, a voice filled with laziness and dissatisfaction came from not far away, drawing the attention of all three people.
A green-haired young man slowly walked over—it was Dylan of the Seven Thrones.
"Dylan?!" Cobra looked at the approaching Dylan in surprise.
Erza's face grew wary. "Are you also one of the Oracion Seis?"
Dylan frowned. "Why does every single one of you think I'm a member of the Oracion Seis? Do I really look that weak? Let me introduce myself—I'm Dylan, the Fifth Throne of the Demon God's Soul."
"Demon God's Soul???" Upon hearing this name, Erza's face immediately tensed with caution.
"Lord Dylan, now is not the time for this! If we don't stop this magic array, Nirvana will be destroyed! Do you have any way to stop it?" Cobra asked urgently.
Dylan curled his lips in disinterest. "I don't do this kind of troublesome stuff. But don't worry, a specialist in this field—your leader—has already arrived."
As if to confirm Dylan's words, Brain of the Oración Seis slowly walked over. "What exactly is going on here?"
"Brain!!!" Cobra, as if grabbing onto his last hope, hurriedly called out, "It was Jellal who set this up! Hurry and find a way to stop it!"
A trace of a disdainful cold smile curved at the corner of Brain's lips.
"Don't panic, Cobra. You should know why my code name is 'Brain' (The Brain), right? I once belonged to the Magic Development Bureau, and during that time, I created hundreds of magic spells using my knowledge. One of them is this autonomous collapse magic array. I was the one who gave it to you, Jellal—have you forgotten?"
"It seems Etherion influence has made his memory unstable. Looks like he even forgot that he was a villain," Cobra explained, shaking his head in response to Brain's doubts.
Hearing this, Dylan cast an indifferent glance at Jellal.
"How ironic. But even if he lost his memory, I'm definitely taking his life. This guy is on our Demon God's Soul's must-kill list."
"As Lord Dylan said, it truly is laughable..." Brain sneered twice before stepping up to the autonomous collapse magic array, extending his hand.
"Even without a deactivation code, I can still make the array itself fail."
As Brain spoke, the autonomous collapse magic array on Nirvana's seal slowly turned blue and then began to disintegrate.
"How is this possible...?" Jellal stared at the scene in shock.
Brain burst into loud laughter. "You truly are pathetic, Jellal! Nirvana is mine! Awaken, Nirvana! Reveal your true form!!"
Rumble—
The earth trembled violently, as if an ancient beast was awakening.
The surrounding ground shattered instantly, with massive chunks of rock blasted into the sky by Nirvana's power before slowly descending.
A towering pillar of light, more than ten times thicker than the one from the seal, shot up into the heavens, illuminating the sky with dazzling brilliance.
"I can hear it!! The sound of our future, the collapse of the light!!"
Cobra's face showed no trace of concern.
Instead, it was filled with frenzied excitement.
Dylan's pupils flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.
Boom!
As time passed, the tremors in the earth grew more intense.
A massive structure began to rise from the ground, shattering the land within hundreds of meters.
The entire area split apart, and everyone was swallowed into the chaos.
"Ah, look, Carla!"
After separating from Lucy, Hibiki, and the others, Wendy, who had been carried into the sky by Carla, anxiously pointed into the distance as she watched the scene unfold.
Following Wendy's direction, Carla looked over, her eyes filled with shock.
In their field of vision, a massive structure resembling a spider emerged from the shattered earth.
Surrounding the structure were eight colossal legs made of rock, encircling a grand and ancient city at the center.
This was the true form of Nirvana—an ultra-ancient city.
Suddenly, Wendy seemed to sense something.
She pointed to a specific area on Nirvana, not far from them, and urgently turned to Carla.
"Carla, hurry over there! I can smell it—Noel's scent!"
"Noel? That golden-haired guy? Are you sure, Wendy?" Carla frowned.
"Yes, there's no mistake! I would never forget the scent of Brother Noel! Please, Carla!"
Receiving Wendy's firm confirmation, Carla no longer hesitated and flew toward the direction Wendy had pointed to.
"Finally... Finally, we have obtained it—the ultimate weapon to destroy the light! The super-reversal magic—Nirvana!!"
Standing at the highest point of Nirvana, Brain spread his arms wide as if embracing his impending victory.
"Hah... So it has finally appeared. Well then, Brain, I'll head inside to retrieve what I came for."
Clearly uninterested in Brain's theatrics, Dylan casually said this before walking away on his own.
Watching Dylan leave, Cobra's eyes briefly flashed with killing intent. "That guy... Brain, should we?"
Brain shook his head. "No need to bother with him. Right now, we don't have the power to challenge the Demon God's Soul."
"Tch."
...........
Somewhere within Nirvana.
Erza clung onto a protruding part of the city with one hand while holding onto Jellal with the other.
The two of them were suspended in midair.
"Erza?"
"Cancel the self-destruct magic circle you placed on yourself. You have an obligation to stay alive," Erza said sharply, her gaze fixed on Jellal.
Jellal lowered his head, his face filled with utter dejection. "I... I failed to stop Nirvana."
At that moment, Erza climbed up Nirvana and pulled Jellal up with her.
"It's... already over," Jellal muttered as he slumped onto the ground, completely drained of strength.
Erza looked at Jellal, then shifted her gaze to one of Nirvana's massive legs.
Amidst the rising dust, several figures could be seen climbing their way up—Natsu, Lucy, and Gray, who had rejoined them after being freed from Dylan's ice due to Nirvana's awakening.
"AAAAHHH! Use this to charge into the center!" Natsu shouted as he sprinted forward at full speed.
"That bastard Dylan... freezing me in ice for so long! I swear I'll make him pay for this!" Gray growled, dark energy radiating from his furious expression.
If Nirvana's awakening hadn't shattered Dylan's ice, he'd probably still be trapped inside, frozen solid.
Watching the scene from afar, Erza let out a small chuckle before speaking.
"It's not over yet… We will never give up. Hope will always connect us... And right now, you are not allowed to die. You must live and atone, Jellal."
With that, Erza stood up, leaving Jellal behind as she walked deeper into Nirvana.
"I'm going to find Noel. As for where you go… that's up to you."
