"Understood!"

Zeref said, stepping past Mavis's body and heading towards the basement of Fairy Tail. First Master Mavis quickly followed.

"What are you doing, Zeref?!"

"What am I doing? I'm going to retrieve Fairy Heart, of course." Zeref said, having already arrived at the door leading to the basement where Fairy Heart was sealed. Seeing the magical seal on the door, Zeref shook his head in disdain.

This kind of seal was useless before him. With a wave of Zeref's hand, all the magical seals on the door were undone. The door slowly opened, and soon, it was completely open.

In the center of the hall was the body of Fairy Tail's First Master, Mavis, now sealed within a giant Lacrima crystal.

"Mavis... It's been nearly a hundred years since we last met. You haven't changed at all." Zeref said, approaching the sealed Mavis.

"Zeref, what do you really want to do? Do you want to obtain Fairy Heart and fight Acnologia? Why have you become like this?" Mavis asked, utterly confused.

This was completely different from the Zeref she knew. The Zeref she knew was a very kind person. To avoid hurting others, he even wanted to die. And to prevent Ankhseram's curse from activating, he always avoided areas where humans lived.

"You still don't understand why I've become like this?" Mavis was speechless. She had thought that she loved Zeref, so she had joined with him. But the result was that she almost lost her life.

That proved only one thing: Zeref had fallen in love with her.

But she had not loved Zeref!

Simply put, she had been betrayed by her lover.

"That's all in the past... Bringing it up now would only be self-humiliating. As for obtaining Fairy Heart to fight Acnologia, that's impossible..."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even if I obtain Fairy Heart, I still wouldn't be Acnologia's opponent. I thought that Acnologia was just a Dragon Slayer who devoured magic, meaning that any magic in this world would be unable to cause him any real harm."

"Even if I possessed even stronger, even more magic, it would be the same. No mage is Acnologia's opponent. But I forgot that he almost killed me back then, which also made him a demon. All the demons of the Book of Zeref have also been devoured by him."

"What?"

First Master Mavis couldn't believe it. Zeref looked at Mavis and said, "What do you mean? He can devour souls to become stronger?" Mavis widened her eyes in disbelief. Devour souls!

Wasn't that a demon? Or a dragon!

Now, even if they gathered the three great Slayer magic types—Devil Slayer, God Slayer, and Dragon Slayer—they would have no chance of winning. Unless a god descended!

"I only need to obtain Fairy Heart to be able to carry out my other plan."

"Another plan?"

Mavis was puzzled when she heard Zeref's words.

"Yes, another plan. This is a limit of space and time that I accidentally discovered last year."

"It stores a large amount of distorted space-time magic... And as long as I obtain Fairy Heart, I can use its infinite magic to travel through the gap of time and return to the past!"
