Chapter 573 The first battle ends, all 9 Ghost Gates are wiped out!
Chapter 573 The first battle ends, the Nine Ghosts Sect is completely wiped out!
Even when the Jackal in the original story went into demon form, it couldn't cause much trouble in front of Natsu, whose attributes were absolutely countered by its own.
Although Lucy's current magical power means that the Natsu cloned by Gemini is still somewhat inferior to the original, under Chess's influence, Natsu has already surpassed his original self at the same time in the original story and is much stronger.
Therefore, the battle unsurprisingly became one-sided.
In just a few minutes, the jackal was mentally shattered by Jemininaz and looked quite pathetic.
After another violent explosion, the jackal's massive, demonized body was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the ruins of the collapsed building.
"Damn it! How... how can he be so strong?!"
The bruised and battered werewolf demon stood up again, looked at the cherry-haired boy bathed in dragon fire in front of him, and let out a furious roar of madness and resentment.
"The Nine Gates of the Underworld sounds creepy, but it's not that impressive in the end."
"Hmm—I'll use this move to end the battle~"
Jemininaz delivered a chillingly sarcastic remark, then strode forward, his chest puffing out, his fists clenched and placed in front of his bulging mouth.
Crimson dragon scales appeared, and a dark flame, slightly different from the dragon-slaying flames used previously, began to accumulate, emitting a dull crackling sound.
That is Natsu's strongest form at present: Destruction Flame Dragon Mode!
Sensing the destructive energy that permeated the depths of his being, the jackal instinctively took two steps back. The anger on the werewolf's face vanished, replaced by overwhelming fear.
Perhaps it was the full-powered Gemini Naz that revealed a hint of END's aura, or perhaps it was the demon's simple instinctive fear of death.
The jackal was so frightened that its legs trembled and it froze on the spot, too scared to move!
"That which destroyed the Flame Dragon—"
Lucy's enemy is her enemy, and Gemini Naz didn't care about that. He opened his mouth and roared to completely destroy the jackals.
However, before he could even utter the word "roar," there was a "bang," and Natsu suddenly disintegrated, turning back into the adorable Jamie and Minnie.
As luck would have it, it's time to transform.
They are often the most reliable force in life-or-death situations, capable of turning the tide in dire circumstances, but in normal times they are extremely prone to failing.
Yes, that's so Lucy.
Upon seeing this, the jackal, who had originally planned to die here and then be resurrected with the help of the Hell Core, was first stunned, then opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Looks like Lady Luck is on my side!"
"How dare you humiliate such a noble demon, you damned human woman! I'll tear you to pieces!!"
Faced with the opponent's renewed burst of magical energy, Lucy, dressed in the Leo Celestial Robe, calmly closed the Gemini Gate, resting her hand on her forehead: "Yes, yes, yes."
She was so tired of hearing this that she was practically sick of it. Were all the demons of the Gates of Hell so lacking in class?
The strong wind made the black dress with its slit swing violently, and Virgo's Baluge appeared out of nowhere and very considerately held down the hem of her dress to prevent her from exposing herself.
Lucy dutifully muttered a curse to herself before looking up at the jackal with a confident and handsome smile: "Before spouting such big talk, you should take a look around you first."

Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, dazzling star spirit arrays bloomed around the jackal, with a miniature star floating above each array.
The stars draw together and echo each other, piecing together a profound and magnificent vast scene!
After being repeatedly trained and influenced by Chess, Lucy was no longer the carefree rookie mage she used to be.
Back when Gemininaz was fighting the jackals, she had already secretly completed the incantation of the Super Magic: Star Chart Chronicle, putting it into an instantaneous state that could be activated at any time!
"What the hell is this?!" The jackal, surrounded by countless stars, was completely dumbfounded.
"All eighty-eight stars in the sky, open—"
Lucy abruptly opened her eyes, which were imprinted with a Protoss magic circle, and with a wave of her hand, responded with the most direct action: "Chronicles of the Star Chart!!"
The eighty-eight stars surrounding the jackal trembled violently, and under the pull of magic, they transformed into speeding meteors and plummeted!
boom!!!
Amidst the terrified howls of the jackals, the full power of the Star Chart History was unleashed, and the brilliance of the stars even surpassed that of the setting sun, illuminating the entire capital of the Duchy of Veronica!
After the explosion, the area where Lucy lived was predictably razed to the ground.
Thick smoke billowed from the shattered ground. Just as Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and was about to feel smug about taking down one of the Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld,
Suddenly, the thick smoke ahead was dispersed by the swirling wind, and clawed feet emerged from it.
"How dare you, how dare you hurt me to this extent—" The jackal's bloodied and mangled face was twisted and ferocious.
The massive, muscular demon's body was no longer imposing; almost no muscle was intact, and it was belching out black smoke.
"Still not dead?" Lucy's pupils contracted slightly.
"Love~ You used all that Triple Star Chart technique to defeat Minerva at the Grand Magic Games!" Happy, perched on her shoulder, accused.
"It's easy for you to say that when you're not in the situation. I need to save some magic for the battles to come!" Lucy retorted matter-of-factly.
It's important to know that the Gates of Hell contain the "Core of Hell," a thing that can endlessly resurrect demons.
Preserving strength is of course the best thing to do before the main guild force arrives and the all-out war officially begins.
After saying that, Lucy had an idea. She turned her head to look at Happy with ill intent and said with a smile, "Anyway, it's already half dead. You can leave the rest to you, Catman Happy."
Harpy was about to refuse, but upon hearing the title "Catman," his eyes lit up immediately.
"Sigh, there's just no way to deal with you~"
Dead Cat sighed, feigning distress, then rolled up his sleeves with renewed vigor, ready to get to work.
Seeing that even a cat didn't take him seriously, the jackal's anger reached its peak: "Heh, no need for that."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tattered demon's body began to swell, emitting rays of light filled with a dangerous aura.
"Lucy, it's going to self-destruct!"
Happy, the cat-man who had just flown away, flew back without any backbone and held Lucy firmly in front of him.
"You damn cat, do you have to be so realistic!" Lucy snapped.
In just two short sentences, the jackal's self-destructive energy had reached its peak.
"Hahaha! Die! All of you, die!!!"
A beam of destructive light shone forth, falling upon Lucy's terrified face.
The jackal was pleased with the look of despair on the face: "I can be resurrected through the core of hell after I die, while you can only be reduced to dust in the explosion."
I won this battle; the explosion—that's art!
Boom!!!
The massive, star-shaped shockwave swept across the already ravaged land once more—only the King of Veronica could withstand such repeated torment.
After the explosion, the satisfied jackal returned to the core of hell.
And Lucy and Happy—
It was squeezed into the dial of the God Clock Tower Horolochm.
Hololochim dispelled the spell, releasing the person and the cat: "Lady Lucy, this is all I can do for you. Please be careful in the battles to come."
"Thanks, Hololochim," Lucy said, waving her hand in thanks.
According to the intercepted intelligence, once the jackal's self-destruction is initiated, there is no way to stop it, so she had already thought of a countermeasure.
Harpy poked his head out from her chest, gasping for fresh air—he had almost suffocated from being squeezed!
Seeing Lucy's relaxed and calm expression, and recalling that the jackal's expression of terror just a second before his self-destruction was obviously feigned, Happy thought for a moment and still couldn't help but say, "Hey Lucy, I think you should stay away from Chase in the future."
"If you keep going like this, you'll soon turn into Chase's shape!"
He was referring to Lucy's increasingly sinister style, albeit deliberately in an ambiguous way.
Hearing this, Lucy's lips twitched. She pulled a Happy from her chest and threw it on the ground, angrily saying, "Don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand! If Mira and Erza hear this, you're dead!!"
"What did you say?"
The sudden sound of the familiar voice startled Lucy, making her jump straight up.
Stiffly turning her head, she saw Erza, Wendy, and Charlotte walking slowly towards her.
Erza had almost no visible injuries, but Wendy had a few scratches on her cute little face and arms.
"Love~ is just that we feel Lucy is getting more and more————"
Just as Happy was about to add fuel to the fire, Lucy flashed past and executed a cross lock, tightly binding the dead cat: "Aha, ahaha, it's nothing."
"By the way, Erza and Wendy, were you also attacked by the Nine Demon Gates?"
"Yes, it's Liangyuetian Sera, a very powerful demon." Wendy nodded emphatically.
That's the truth. After all, even within the Nine Ghost Gates, Sera's overall strength ranks among the top, and since she's at the bottom of the strongest squad, it's naturally much more difficult for her to fight.
"Huh? Lucy, how did you know I bought a super beautiful wedding dress?"
In contrast, Erza's answer seemed quite strange.
After saying that, the Fairy Queen immediately blushed, as if she were immersed in some beautiful fantasy, and muttered words like "I accept" and "I agree".
Lucy: "————" I don't know!
Wendy tugged at her sleeve and muttered, "When we happened to run into her, Erza was already in this state."
"It's probably the Juvia virus, there's no hope." Xia Lulu sighed heavily, spreading her hands.
"Hey~ Xia Lulu, let me see if your butt is hurt?" Habi Tian shamelessly leaned in.
"This is an even more perverted dual-card virus!" Xia Lulu's teeth all turned into jagged edges.
The "Dual-card virus" refers to the two old perverts, Macaoo and Wakaba. Above these two, there is an even more terrifying "One Night virus".
Just then, Natsu came running from another direction: "Hey! Everyone!"
"You defeated your opponent after all, Natsu," Lucy said with a smile.
"Hmph, aside from travel time, I can defeat my opponents much faster than you!" Natsu said, hands on his hips, head held high with a triumphant air.
"————Why would I compare myself to a ghost?!" Lucy sighed, rubbing her forehead.
Ever since the S-level assessment, she has been miserably entangled with this idiot.
A few days ago, he even appeared in my bed early in the morning, making a fuss about having a showdown.
"That guy who used the black water spell was too weak; it wasn't fun fighting him at all. How about we have a proper fight?"
really!
Lucy remained silent, then placed her hands on Erza, who was talking to herself, and turned her to face Natsu, as if turning stiff gears.
"Hey, isn't this Natsu? How did you know I bought a super beautiful wedding dress?" Erza smiled broadly.
"Love!" Natsu's fighting spirit instantly wilted, turning him into Happy 2.0.
Despite the noise and commotion, the group still traveled together to other parts of the town to reunite with their companions.
Charlotte, who had kicked Harpy away, looked distressed.
The dilapidated ruins of the town before my eyes are becoming more and more like the vision of the future I've been looking for!
At the same time, to the west of the capital.
The battle between the Ice Demon and the Ice God has come to an end.
In the bleak, snowy world, Yin lay on the broken ice, covered in wounds, in a U-shape.
"Wow, you really have impressed me, Gray. The combination of Ice Godslayer and Ice Shape Magic—" Silver gasped for breath.
Although both are of the Annihilation type, Ice Godslayer is clearly of a higher level than Silver's self-created Ice Demon. The battle between the two is somewhat similar to Natsu's fight against Zankuro in the original work.
Silver is not immune to and cannot consume God's ice, but Gray can do it with ease!
"Hey Dad, can you tell me why you work for the Underworld?" Gray sat down next to him, his voice low.
Yin stared at the Netherworld Beast floating in the sky, remaining silent for several seconds before slowly speaking.
"Deliora destroyed our homeland, destroyed the happiness we should have had—those damned demons Etelias from Zeref's books—they all have to die."
"And the strongest among them is not Hades Maldo, but the fiery demon END, capable of destroying the world—"
"The reason I remain at the Gates of the Underworld is to use the Ice Demon-Slaying Technique—to utterly annihilate it at the opportune moment!"
At this point, Yin clenched his fist, a hint of madness appearing on his usually carefree face.
Gray had certainly heard about END, and the Chairman's decision to wage war against Tartaros was likely also based on this consideration.
"Although END poses a significant threat to humanity, Dad—"
Gray followed Silver's gaze to the sky, where he could vaguely sense a chilling demonic aura erupting from the top of the Netherworld Beast.
"The old man once said that hatred only breeds greater hatred, and your obsession with evil is too deep."
He sighed softly, seeing his younger self from the Karuna Island era reflected in his father.
Silver was taken aback and looked at Gray in surprise. He never expected that the son in his memory who only knew how to play in the mud would say such a thing.
"I actually got lectured by my son. I really am an incompetent father."
As his exclamation faded, a brief silence fell over the room.
The one who broke the silence was Juvia, who rushed over after defeating the storm.
"Lord Gray, are you alright? Let Juvia check if you're injured~"
With eyes sparkling with love, Juvia lunged forward, knocking the unsuspecting Gray to the ground and groping him haphazardly.
"Damn it! Don't make such a big deal out of it!" Gray blushed and quickly pushed her away.
Dad's still here watching.
"what?"
Juvia belatedly noticed Silver's presence, instantly abandoning her infatuation mode, straightening her back and standing with her legs together, more upright than a soldier at attention.
Just as Gresson breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the woman would finally quiet down, Juvia dropped a bombshell: "You, you really are my father-in-law, aren't you!"
"Hahaha, I've heard of you. Nice girl. It's Gray's good fortune to have met you." Silver laughed heartily, directly acknowledging the other's address.
"Yes, Father-in-law!"
How many children do you plan to have in the future?
"Um, let's tentatively set it at 30."
Gray:
