Tartaros Guild Headquarters.

A sudden, violent tremor shook the floating cube.

"An earthquake? We're in midair. Earthquakes shouldn't be able to reach us here..."

Suddenly, the alarms blared. "Intruder alert! We have an intruder!"

"What's going on? How could there be an intruder here?" Kyôka immediately gave orders. "Alert everyone—prepare for battle at once!"

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! All combat personnel, prepare for battle at the main entrance immediately! Intruder alert! All combat personnel, prepare for battle immediately!"

Everyone sprang into action. Before long, they had all assembled at the front of the guild headquarters. In the command room, Kyôka asked, "How many enemies are there?"

"Just one!" replied one of the Nine Demon Gates.

They quickly pulled up the surveillance feed, and an image soon appeared on-screen—Acnologia, in his human form.

"Who is that?" Kyôka frowned.

Acnologia was currently in human form, wearing simple clothes and barefoot. Although 400 years had passed, and the demons from the Book of Zeref didn't recognize him, the Nine Demon Gates felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if they shared a common source of power...

...

...

"Kill him!"

Everyone charged at Acnologia. He raised a fist and slammed it down.

Crack! Crack!

The very air seemed to crack under the force of his blow. The shockwave slammed into the attackers, sending them flying with screams of pain.

The ground beneath them shattered, a massive fissure splitting the earth, reaching all the way to the Tartaros headquarters.

Crack! Crack!

The floating cube, the headquarters of Tartaros, split in two. Those inside screamed as they stumbled and fell. The Nine Demon Gates stared in disbelief.

"He... he broke the space with his bare hands!" Torafuzar stammered, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"This guy... he hasn't even used any magic. He did this with pure physical strength!" Ezel was terrified.

"What a scary power..." Seilah frowned.

"Attack!" The remaining Tartaros members began to unleash their magic. A barrage of magic attacks flew towards Acnologia.

But... they were completely ineffective.

Ezel grinned, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "It seems these enhanced foot soldiers aren't strong enough to stop him. If we let him keep destroying the guild, we'll be a laughingstock. I'll tear him to pieces!"

No sooner had Ezel spoken than he charged straight at Acnologia. Torafuzar tried to stop him, but it was too late. Silver spoke up, "Ezel is always too rash. But he's not wrong—if Tartaros is destroyed, it will be a disgrace."

"Human, allow me to entertain you!"

"Die!"
