Hearing Gar's words, Makarov was stunned and exchanged a glance with Gar.
They both smiled in unison.
Within that kind smile, a hint of cunning was revealed. Erza, who was following behind them, inexplicably felt a chill and quickly looked around vigilantly.
The next day.
A 'letter of thanks' filled with mockery, announced by the Council, spread throughout the entire Ishgar Continent.
The specific content was Fairy Tail thanking Grimoire Heart for their contribution to destroying the R System, detailing the battle triggered by Ur searching for her daughter and Grimoire Heart's interception.
After the battle ended, through some kind of Magic, they tracked them all the way to an island near the Karlmu Near Sea.
Finally, they intercepted Bluenote, the Vice-Guild Master of Grimoire Heart, who was attempting to usurp the R System, and Ultear, who had been lured and abducted by Grimoire Heart, outside the island.
Then, under Ur's influence, Ultear sobered up and reformed.
She not only revealed Hades' plot to control the Black Magic Cult's R System but also personally guided Fairy Tail Guild Master Makarov, leading to the destruction of the R System that was under construction in one fell swoop.
This report seemed less important in the aftermath of the previous two incidents.
However, it did solve many people's mysteries, revealing how the island where the R System was located was discovered.
One could also see the undisguised mockery of Grimoire Heart by Fairy Tail in this 'letter of thanks,' making people click their tongues in wonder, realizing this was serious.
——
Ishgar Continent, central area.
The hidden headquarters of the Black Magic Cult.
Within the solemn, religious-atmosphere-filled complex of buildings, stood guards with icy expressions, looking devoid of any sign of life, appearing eerily strange.
Inside the church.
In front of Zeref's statue.
A Grand Bishop stood with his hands behind his back. He put down the newspaper in his hand and turned around. The two Black Magic Cult leaders responsible for the construction of the Tower of Paradise knelt below, trembling and begging for forgiveness, not daring to look up.
Beside them lay a fainted blue-haired child, who was Jellal.
After listening to the two Black Magic Cult leaders finish their account, the Grand Bishop's voice showed no fluctuation:
"So...."
"With so many Magic soldiers and followers, you allowed a bunch of brats to start a rebellion."
The slightly thinner Black Magic Cult leader kneeling below trembled and quickly said:
"No.... No."
"Originally, we planned to deal with this brat and then suppress the rebellion."
"But we didn't expect Fairy Tail Guild Master Makarov to suddenly arrive. Before we could react, the R System was destroyed by that old man."
"As you know, that old man is a Ten Wizard Saints.... We really couldn't do anything."
"For the holy cause of the Cult, the two of us could only burn all the important documents and then escape back through the secret underground passage with this brat, the culprit."
"This brat's talent is good, he must be the best sacrifice to our God!"
The fat Black Magic Cult leader next to him nodded repeatedly:
"That's right, Grand Bishop Sir."
"This brat will definitely be the best sacrifice."
Tap tap tap....
The crisp sound of boots approached from above. The two Black Magic Cult leaders quickly pressed their heads to the ground until the boots stopped, standing beside them, and a wave of Magic power surged.
A moment later.
The man they called the Grand Bishop spoke:
"Not bad."
"This child's talent is very strong, much stronger than yours, and he can even rebel against you."
The thin Black Magic Cult leader quickly fawned:
"Yes, yes."
"I believe our God will definitely like this sacrifice."
The Grand Bishop shook his head and said:
"No."
"What I mean is...."
"Since this child's talent is so good and his ability is stronger than yours."
"Then why should I keep you?"
