Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 220 The price of playing with fire

Zeref turned around and faced the second "Gate of Eclipse". Without any movement, the "Gate of Eclipse" ignored the opening conditions and was commanded by his thoughts. Get up and running.

Click, click, click - the gears rotate and bite.

The heavy door slowly opened, and pale mist spurted out, instantly filling a large area and wrapping Zeref in it. He felt as if he was in a smoky, white sea.

Zeref walked towards the depths of the gate without hesitation, where was the "time rift" where the past, present and future were all inside.

"The old world ends, the new world begins——"

His eyes seemed to have seen himself through the cracks in time more than 400 years ago. He was so innocent and childish, and he didn't know that the danger that was about to change his life had quietly come. However, it didn't matter anymore, because now he would Block everything!
I am the savior!

Jeff's whole body was immersed in the past, but at this moment, he foresaw something terrible was happening, and couldn't help frowning.

It was a strange premonition.

He fell into hesitation, should he not be afraid of the crisis intuition and continue to move forward, or should he withdraw in time and return to another time?
However, in the blink of an eye, Zeref felt two unfamiliar divine powers piercing his sides like sharp daggers.

He has been constantly experimenting with various death methods, so theoretically he should have tasted all the pain in the world, but the severe pain that penetrated and exploded in his body at this moment was far above them!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Jeff wailed involuntarily, and he was no longer as calm as usual. His wings of light were burning, and the divine power in his whole body was rushing uncontrollably, like countless bugs visible to the naked eye. It's the same as drilling around!
hum!
He flew out from the "Eclipse Gate" and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and was still rolling as if it was burned by a raging fire.

Rumbling--

And the "Eclipse Gate" began to collapse. First, countless fine cracks appeared, and then gears and stones continued to fall off. Finally, it completely disintegrated and became a pile of waste products.

Bang!
The pale fog gradually dissipated.

At the same time, Zeref's pain has not ended yet. He still retains his silver hair color and incomplete light wings, but his appearance is changing rapidly. If he still looked like a young man before, he is now middle-aged. people, and then turned into wrinkled old people.

His eyes were sunken, marks appeared on his face, and he was accompanied by pain that sounded like an alarm throughout his body.

The pain in his back and neck was especially obvious. Soon, they opened a slender seam, leaking out thick pus, which grew when the wind blew, and actually solidified into a head!
Gollum-

The head made a strange sound from its throat, and it seemed that it was not yet fully able to speak.

After the irreversible transformation was completely over, the pain on Zeref's body subsided a little, and he also got a chance to breathe.

He touched his arms and face, and then touched the other head that grew together with his own, and that head screamed in fear at this time.

Zeref squinted his eyes, used his divine power to condense a smooth mirror, and then saw the true face of another head in the mirror.

Pale and childish face, short blue hair...

It turned out to be Jellal!

The head growing on the same neck as him actually belonged to Jellal!
Jellal's eyes widened at this moment, looking at himself in the mirror in disbelief, and then wailed in despair. His reason had disappeared and he completely collapsed.

"Shut up!" Jeff looked coldly at Gerald reflected in the mirror, trying to silence Gerald with divine power, but found that he couldn't do it.Damn it!how so!
Half of my divine power is actually in his head!
I can't do anything to him, and I even need to rely on the power he gives!
Zeref suddenly became aware of this terrible reality.

Why this happened, Jeff already had a preliminary guess in his mind.

He was once again punished by the true god, probably because he planned to travel back in time and change everything, and playing with the power of space and time was undoubtedly wrong.

Therefore, "time" made his body become old and suffering from illness all the time, and "space" made him and Jellal become symbiotic twins who could not be separated.

No matter which divine punishment it is, it is extremely terrifying.

But Zeref has endured one divine punishment for more than 400 years, and two more did not completely break him.

He just quietly used his divine power to condense a black robe, covering his entire body, including the head on the back of his head.

Being in the darkness, Jellal seemed to feel more at ease, slowly calming down and no longer screaming.

Zeref ignored him and was unwilling to explain too much. He looked at the ruins of the "Eclipse Gate" for a while, then turned and left the underground palace, following the original road back to the palace.

After a while, he sat on the cold throne and was silent for a long time before uttering two words: "Sure enough, it's not that easy. I need stronger power."

Something should be done.

A small ball of light appeared from the tip of Zeref's finger and flew out like a firefly.

After a while, a man came to the palace under the guidance of the light ball.

When he looked up and saw Zeref's aging appearance, he froze in shock.

This is a man with short blue-gray hair, glasses, and neatly dressed. He looks to be in his early 20s, but is actually much older.

He has been following Zeref for a long time, and was the temporary governor of the Albares Empire when Zeref was away - "Winter General" Imber Yura.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Zeref laughed as if mockingly, his silver hair drooping.

The terrifying divine power rushed towards his face, making Yinbel, who didn't know what kind of power it was, couldn't help but tremble all over and dared not look directly.

Only then did Imber confirm the identity of the man in front of him - there could not be another such a powerful man in the Alvarez Empire. Although he was full of confusion, he still knelt down and said: "My noble Emperor."

"I need to do some new experiments." The ugly goblin emperor said, "I need you to bring the most elite group of magicians from the Albarez Empire to me."

Yinbel didn't ask any more questions and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."

Zeref watched Imber leave in a hurry. The consul was afraid and never dared to look at him again, but he thought it was good.

The curse is yours, and the strength is mine.He thought silently.
