Chapter 572 Ice Demon vs. Ice God, Clever Lucy
A large park in the capital.
Bahamut's roar could be heard clearly, and even though it was far away, the powerful aftershocks still affected the area.
The park ground trembled slightly, the trees and plants swayed, and the fountain pool rippled.
By the pool, Gray, having found his clothes and put them back on, stared at Silver, who was clad in silver armor, across the water. A sense of oppression hung in the air.
This level of roar doesn't sound like something a regular Dragon Slayer Mage would do. When did Fairy Tail start having such a terrifying being?
Yin crossed his arms, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the black mushroom cloud that exploded high in the distance, a look of horror rising in his heart.
Of course, the shock was just a subconscious reaction; at this moment, his attention was more focused on Gray across from him.
After successfully getting rid of Natsu and Lucy, he quickly found Gray and Juvia, who were fighting the storm, by using his magical energy fluctuations, and proposed to "settle things out" with Gray alone.
Gray did not refuse. Besides believing that Juvia could defeat the storm, he also wanted to find out why his father was working for the Hades.
That's right, the moment he saw Yin, he knew that the man in front of him was definitely his biological father!
Among the information leaked by the storm and the jackals, there was naturally all the information about "Absolute Zero Silver", including that he was a perfect corpse "resurrected" by Keith, and that Silver possessed his original will.
"What's wrong, Gray? Your father, whom you haven't seen for over a decade, is standing right in front of you. Don't you have anything to say?" Silver broke the silence first.
"I don't know what tone to use to start this, you damn dad." Gray sighed in frustration, his eyes flashing with extremely complex emotions.
On the one hand, he must be very excited and happy to be able to see his deceased father again.
On the other hand, his father wasn't truly resurrected, but rather a product of demonic magic, making him, and now, an enemy that he and his guild needed to defeat.
"Hahaha! Just as I expected, she put on a pitiful yet ridiculous expression!"
Yin suddenly burst into laughter, his deliberate act revealing a twisted, evil, and insane glint in his eyes. "You really think I'm your long-dead father?"
"Listen carefully! I am Deliora, that's right, the Devil Deliora who wiped out your entire village and forced Uru to use Absolute Freeze!!"
Impersonating Deliora, he made Gray kill him without any psychological burden out of rage, and then completely transferred the Ice Demon Slayer spell to him.
This was something Yin had already decided on his way here—even if it wasn't his original intention, he had carried a lot of sins over the years, and being able to "die" at his son's hands was the best end for him.
However, to Yin's surprise, Gray, who should have hated Deliora intensely, simply stared at him calmly, showing no sign of breaking down in anger.
"You don't know yet, do you? The Gates of Hell have a Hell Core that can endlessly resurrect demons. After I died on Karuna Island, I was reborn and even gained this powerful body!"
Silver thought Gray simply didn't trust him, so while thoughtfully revealing the biggest secret of Tartaros, he opened his arms and unleashed a magical aura that was incredibly close to Deliora's.
hum!
The chilling aura made Yin appear even more sinister and terrifying. Standing in the howling wind, he threw his head back and burst into laughter again: "So, it seems our fate is truly deep, hahahaha!"
Gray: "————"
My dad, whom I remember, was cheerful and sunny, but I don't think his acting was that exaggerated, right?
Yin, who was channeling his magical power, was a little confused: How could someone remain so calm when it wasn't his son?
Hurry up and yell as you rush over, I can't keep up this act any longer!
"Forget it, Dad. We already got all the information about the members of the Underworld Gate from the intruders."
Gray saw through his father's forced composure and said in a low voice, "You are not Deliora, but my father, Silver Fullpaster."
Silver's lips twitched violently. He flung away the curse storm, his old face flushed as he angrily rebuked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"I already said, I don't know how to bring it up."

Yin really didn't expect the plot to develop this way. The information about Tartaros was leaked. In other words, this time it wasn't Fairy Tail's passive counterattack, but a deliberate act!
The relationship between hunter and prey was already reversed before the battle even began?
Realizing that Hades Maldo was currently spying on the battlefield from within the Netherworld Beasts, Yin suppressed his shock after a brief silence and immediately launched his attack: "Ice Demon Arrow!"
It conveys both the father's exasperation at being exposed by his son and the desire to cooperate with Fairy Tail to continue the charade.
shhhhhh!
A dense barrage of deep purple icy arrows roared out, each carrying the destructive aura of ice and extreme cold!
Gray moved swiftly, his fist and palm resting on his waist, and he unleashed an Ice Make spell with a backhand: "Ice Make, Lance!"
One after another, long, icy spears slid along graceful trajectories, colliding violently with the purple ice arrows in mid-air!
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, ice crystals flew everywhere, and cold white vapor spread in all directions with the impact, causing the temperature of the entire park to drop sharply.
Although Gray's counterattack was quite perfect, several frost arrows still broke through the lancers and shot straight at him, forcing him to retreat and evade them.
—The suppressive power of annihilation magic over ordinary magic of the same attribute is too great. Even if the magical power and destructive power of both sides are equal, it can still gain an absolute advantage!
"Wow, both your speed in casting Ice Shape and your on-the-spot reaction after your magic was broken are quite good. It seems Uru has taught you very well." Silver commented with a smile.
Knowing the information is one thing, but most mages will inevitably show panic when they see their proud magic being crushed, and then be suppressed throughout the entire process by taking advantage of this fleeting opening.
Gray, on the other hand, did not have such a weakness.
This further convinced Gin that his son likely possessed power comparable to that of Natsu the Fire Dragon!
"A pleasant reminiscing turned into a fight. Even a son would be troubled by that, you damn father." Gray also had a faint smile on his lips.
Given his temperament, he could naturally deduce the reason why Yin suddenly attacked, and calmly refrained from questioning her loudly.
"After all, we're now on opposing sides. If I don't eliminate you, my goal can't be achieved."
Silver stretched his joints, then his gaze sharpened. "That's enough of this pointless testing. Let me see just how much stronger you've become over the years, Gray!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his full power, and a terrifying aura containing extremely low temperatures erupted from his body, instantly freezing the entire park and even the surrounding urban area.
Absolute Zero: A Silver World!
"So that's how it is, this is the Ice Demon Slayer Technique—" Gray looked down and glanced around.
Even with his exceptional ice resistance, he felt a bone-chilling cold while in this area.
But a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes, and he clenched his fist with one hand: "Then you'd better watch out, you bastard dad."
Click.
Like a drop of ink falling into clear water, the jet-black ice spread outward from Gray's center, outlining artistic black lines in the monotonous deep purple ice world.
The temperature in the entire space became lower.
"What is this?!" Silver's pupils suddenly contracted.
"The treasures Chase plundered from Hades's magic vault, which became even stronger after being modified and perfected by Uru—"
Under the influence of magic, Gray's loose bangs stood up high, transforming into an even more handsome and neat hairstyle. "Ancient Lost Magic, Arc of Frost - Ice God-Slaying Magic!"
"Magic capable of annihilating gods? Hahaha! That's quite a surprise, Gray!!" Silver burst into laughter.
This time, it wasn't out of professional ethics as an actor, but out of genuine joy for his son's growth and excitement for the upcoming battles.
From Gray at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression!
With this thought in mind, Yin no longer held back. He opened his mouth and inhaled, guiding the magic to continuously condense and compress deep in his throat.
Gray imitated him and struck the same pose.
He'd seen the roar on Natsu so many times he knew it by heart.
"The Ice Demon's—"
"The Ice God's ————"
"Exhilarating!"
"Howl!"
Boom!!!
The fierce battle between father and son, ice demon and ice god has begun!
Prior to this, on the other hand...
After saying goodbye to Natsu, Lucy and Happy wander through the deserted streets.
"Speaking of which, Lucy, if a fight breaks out later, you definitely won't be able to get away."
Happy, hovering in mid-air, rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why don't you hand over your wallet and let me keep it for you?"
"Stop trying to fool me, you dead cat! You just want to embezzle my money to pay for my meals!" Lucy immediately retorted.
"Huh? That's weird. Shouldn't Lucy be moved to tears and then hand over her wallet without a second thought?" Happy scratched his head in confusion.
"—Well, I'm really sorry!" Lucy said gruffly, spitting everywhere.
She admits that she is a pure, cute, and sexy young woman, but she can't just fool herself like that, can she?
and----
Lucy looked up at the explosions that were constantly ringing out in the distance.
After this battle, the entire capital of the Principality of Veronica will probably be completely demolished. Is it really necessary to care about the cost of a meal?
Just as she was thinking, as if she suddenly realized something, she abruptly stopped running, grabbed Happy's tail, and quickly jumped back.
Almost simultaneously, several circular arrays engraved with demonic spells lit up on the ground in front of them.
Boom boom boom!
Flames shot into the sky, and a series of incredibly powerful explosions rang out, blasting deep craters into the smooth, unobstructed streets.
"Oh? It can actually sense my explosion spell."
A wolf-shaped demon emerged from the billowing smoke, a look of surprise on its face. "Those two weaklings we encountered before were easily blown into a mangled mess."
In Chase's brainwashed memories, "two weaklings" refers to Macao and Wakaba, a pair of losers.
"The jackals of the Nine Ghosts Gate—" Lucy recognized the other party.
"A trap set up in advance along your path, which means you're being watched, Lucy," Happy said thoughtfully.
"We've been targeted! And Wadasi just saved your life!" Lucy emphasized.
That's true, but in reality, even though Happy survived the jackal's self-destruction in the original story, he only got a unique perm.
Its defense is unparalleled!
The jackal watched the man and the cat bickering, and his anger flared up: "It's bad enough that the fire dragon I was looking for was stolen by that guy Trafalgar, but now I've run into this weirdo."
Because of Crawford's presence, Tartaros also knew information about Fairy Tail's mages.
Before the operation, Crawford's advice to "avoid Natsu the Fire Dragon" had already made it quite unhappy.
"Oh, I see. Well then, I'll grant your wish a little bit~" Lucy stopped her condemnation of the dead cat and smiled slyly.
When she encountered the jackal, she was still struggling to decide which Celestial Robe to use to quickly end the battle, since explosive spells that explode upon contact and have enormous power are still quite troublesome.
The jackal's offhand remark conveniently drew her attention to a super-effortless method.
"Open, Gemini Gate, Gemini!"
Holding the golden key, Lucy commanded Gemini, who was fiddling with her hands and feet, "Please, Gemini, turn into Natsu!"
"Bilibili~"
Gemini immediately understood and with a bang, he transformed into a smiling, cherry-haired boy.
After tearing off his shirt, Gemininaz clenched his fists, and incredibly hot crimson flames erupted from his knuckles: "Whoa! I'm on fire!"
"However, it's okay not to deliberately inherit that idiot's habit of taking off his clothes before battle," Lucy muttered, covering her face.
"Using Natsu to deal with a jackal who's good at explosive spells? Hey, are you really the same idiot Lucy we know?" Happy was genuinely surprised.
"Shut up, you dead cat!!" Lucy was too lazy to argue and just started cursing.
"Natsu the Fire Dragon? Hahaha, that's awesome!"
The jackal was overjoyed and immediately hurled a powerful magical bomb, "Explosive Spiral!"
Boom!!!
The spell bomb exploded on Gemininaz, the shockwave spreading outwards, and the massive fireball from the explosion instantly melted everything around it!
However, before the jackal could even show its triumph, the intense heat and flames began to swirl like a stream of water, pouring into Gemininaz's wide-open mouth.
"This tastes awful. It's my first time eating this, but is this what flames taste like? Or are demons just naturally smelly?" Jemininaz wiped her mouth, her face full of disgust.
Unharmed, of course!
"He's just a damned human, how could he possibly be—" The jackal was dumbfounded.
Crawford's words echoed in his ears again, and the demon, who considered himself a superior species, became completely enraged. His muscles swelled rapidly, his eyes flashed red, and he unleashed all his magical power to enter his strongest demon form!
"bring it on!"
Unfazed, Gemini Naz smiled and waved at it, not forgetting to utter its classic line, "Eat it and the power will surge forth!"
The two sides immediately charged into battle.
Magic and spells collided, causing a series of explosions, and the entire area was instantly engulfed in flames!
