Medivh: "That's not what you were saying just now."
Cough cough...
Since August was Medivh's adopted son, there was nothing to worry about. She expressed that she could completely accept August as her dear son.
At the same time, Irene was somewhat looking forward to seeing August—who was always cold and seemed indifferent to everything in the world—call her 'Mother.'
"Things are starting to get interesting."
Irene's red lips curled slightly as she thought to herself.
Back at the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Natsu Dragneel?"
"Dragneel?!"
"In that case, this person must be my uncle in name, right?"
"What a coincidence, to actually encounter the ultimate weapon created by Zeref, the legendary END who can incinerate the world, right here in the Fairy Tail Guild."
August looked at Natsu, who had been knocked down by Erza's punch, and his eyelid twitched slightly. As a super genius born with innate knowledge who had been aware of everything since he was in the womb, he naturally recognized Natsu's identity the moment he saw him...
The other party should be the younger brother of his biological father Zeref Dragneel, Etherious Natsu Dragneel, who was resurrected using the R-System and is known as the END who can destroy the world.
Why did August use'should be' instead of 'definitely'?
It wasn't for any other reason than that Natsu was simply too weak—so weak that August began to doubt the contents recorded in the ancient books.
"This brat can destroy the world?"
August looked at Natsu, who had been subdued by Erza, his brow furrowed into a knot and his eyes flashing with utter disbelief. If he had known END was at this level earlier?!
He wouldn't have bothered practicing that wretched Ice Devil Slayer Magic. With Natsu's current level, he could crush the opponent with a single finger, as easily as crushing an ant on the ground.
"But I can feel that Natsu's body contains an incredibly powerful force—that is the power of a 'Dragon,' as well as a Demon Seed that hasn't grown yet..."
Then August fell silent again. He could feel a Dragon Force sealed within Natsu that was not at all weaker than his own; those scorching flames could even burn the soul!
But that most likely didn't belong to Natsu, but to a certain Dragon King. That Dragon King seemed to have only soul power left due to self-sealing...
This was the price paid to keep himself at his peak!
Therefore, it was completely nothing to worry about.
Besides that, there was a Demon Seed in Natsu's body that hadn't sprouted at all, but to what extent was that Demon Seed weak?
To be honest, it wasn't even as powerful as the Demon Seed born within August after he practiced Ice Devil Slayer Magic.
"Compared to Natsu, it seems I am more like the END described in the records."
August began to mutter to himself. He had seemingly, accidentally, become the strongest demon in the Earth-land World today. No, in his case, he should be called a 'Demon God.'
August: "Oh no, I've become the strongest demon."
Indeed, if one were to use a light novel title to summarize August's actions over the years, it would be: 'I, Who Wanted to Eliminate the Strongest Demon, Accidentally Became the Strongest Demon Myself.' To this, Acnologia gives his approval.
When he first started practicing Dragon Slayer Magic back then, he also only intended to eliminate the dragons.
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Becoming the Dragon King in the END was truly a matter of being forced into it; if one must blame someone, blame those dragons for being too weak.
"Could it be that Natsu is hiding his true strength?!"
August thought to himself, his brows furrowed tightly.
August simply could not accept the fact that the demon destined to destroy the world was this weak.
"Thwack, thwack, thwack..."
However, when August saw Natsu under Erza's beatdown, with almost no power to fight back, he couldn't help but fall silent. This weakness didn't seem like an act at all; the kid was just pure trash.
"It seems END can be crossed off my diary."
"Next, the only ones left to eliminate are Black Wizard Zeref and the 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia."
August muttered to himself.
As for why August was so obsessed with eliminating Zeref, he was actually, in a way, granting his biological father a release.
After all, it was Zeref who first started seeking death.
Most importantly, if Zeref didn't die soon, he would start doing truly Inhuman things.
For the sake of Zeref's reputation, he had no choice but to fulfill the other's wish and grant him death.
Although, up until now, August still hadn't found a way to completely eliminate the curse of the ankhseram god.
"I heard that a newcomer has joined the guild?!"
Just as August was watching his sister, Erza, beat up his uncle, Natsu, a loud sound of the door being pushed open followed...
Ever since Precht returned to the Fairy Tail Guild and temporarily stepped down from the position of Fairy Tail Guild Master, he seemed to have experienced a second spring in his life. Within a year, he easily broke through the threshold of the 'Inhuman' level and reached the realm of 'Heavenly King'...
And after stepping down as Guild Master, because he had fewer things to worry about, Makarov, who had visibly grown at least twenty years younger and whose hair had even started turning black, pushed open the guild doors and walked into the first-floor hall of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Well, Makarov had truly worried too much for Fairy Tail; this guild had become a burden on him! The moment the shackles were lifted was the moment Makarov's decades of accumulation finally blossomed and soared.
"You are..."
When Makarov swaggered into the guild hall and saw August's appearance clearly, his eyes first flashed with disbelief, and then immediately moistened.
"Makarov, it's really been a long time."
August looked at the person who arrived and smiled helplessly.
"August..."
"You are August, there's absolutely no mistake!"
