"Do you still remember the book of END?" Jeff asked first.

How could Natsu forget that kind of thing?

After the war with the gate of Hades ended, the book of END was taken away by Jeff in front of his eyes.

"Of course I remember, that's something Ignilu couldn't destroy." He clenched his fists.

Naz said with certainty: "However, I will do what Ignilu failed to do! I will definitely destroy that book!"

That angry answer made Jeff shake his head lightly.

"You can't destroy it." Jeff said softly.

Then he spread out his right hand, and the quaint book reappeared in his hand wrapped in black fluid.

Those words instantly aroused Natsu's anger.

"If you want to say, if you are here and I can't be destroyed in 2.2, then my answer is very simple."

Looking directly at Jeff, the fury roared: "I will destroy you and that book together!"

"No." However, Jeff still shook his head.

Taking a deep breath, he said slowly, "Because...you are the END!"

"!!"

Nuo Da's battlefield fell silent for a moment.

The moment Zeref's voice fell, the flames around Natsu also went out.

It seemed that only the black traces of the flames were left on the battlefield, and there were two people who were looking at each other.

Natsu seemed taken aback by Zeref's words.

After being in a daze for several seconds, he suddenly reacted.

He retorted loudly: "What are you kidding?!"

"I'm not joking." Jeff's tone remained calm.

"Etrias Naz Dragneel, this is your full name, and the abbreviation...is END!"

"Etrias is the collective name for the demons I created, and so are you."

"And my full name..." After a pause, Jeref's expression showed a look of loneliness visible to the naked eye.

Muttered: "Jeff Dragneel!"

"It's... your brother!".

Chapter 691: Destiny Across Time

"It was about four hundred years ago." Jeff stared at the gloomy sky.

Then the voice came out:

"Our parents were affected by the dragon war at that time, and were burned to death by the flames of the dragon."

"And my younger brother, Natsu, also died at that time."

Sweat gradually oozed from Natsu's forehead.

There is a strong sense of disbelief in the eyes looking directly at Jeff.

"What the **** are you talking about?!"

"That kind of thing... I don't even know!" He retorted loudly to Jeff.

"Of course you didn't know, because you were already dead at that time." Jeff sighed softly.

Continue to speak: "In order to resurrect you, I conducted research and learned magic."

"In the School of Magic, I have always been called a genius, but I was also warned because I wanted to study forbidden magic involving life."

"However, even so, I did not give up on continuing my research."

"Until that day, the gods were completely offended, and my tragedy also began from then on."

"The wrath of the **** of life and death, Anxelam, deprived me of the right to die as a human being, and even turned my body into his scythe for harvesting life..."

Speaking of this, Jeff's voice was extremely low.

"However, the only thing that makes me feel lucky is that the research on life is finally successful."

"I successfully constructed the demon in the Book of Zeref, the life form named Atrias, the most perfect masterpiece among them..."

"It's you, Natsu!"

Zeref's scarlet pupils stared straight at Natsu.

"Atrias Natsu Dragneel."

"That is... 21END!"

"Wait...wait..." Natsu interrupted Jeff with a wave.

Shaking his head constantly, he seemed to be unable to accept such a story.

"Didn't Ignilu say that he couldn't destroy END? If I were END, then Ignilu wanted to crush me to death, it's not a casual thing!"

It seemed that he thought he had found a loophole in Jeff's words.

Natsu's panic was temporarily suppressed.

Can…

Jeff's face remained unchanged.

"The inability to reach the END does not refer to the power gap at the physical level, but...love!"

"At the beginning, I entrusted you to Ignilu, but he developed a love for you called father and son, so...he couldn't do anything to you."

Those words made Natsu's body tremble violently.

"Impossible! END is the demon who created the gate of Hades!" Natsu shouted.

"And, I'm human!"

"The creator of the gate of Hades is Mardo Gil." Jeff looked at the book of END in his hand.

"Because he discovered this book by accident, Mardo Gil claimed to be the will of the END to command the demons."

"If you look at it from this perspective, you are indeed the one who created the gate of Hades."

"Impossible!" Natsu yelled angrily.

"Don't try to shake my determination to destroy you! Jeff!"

Jeff sighed softly: "The reason why you were handed over to Ignilu was to allow you to come to modern times through the solar eclipse, and to inherit Ignilu's power to defeat Akunologia, and... to kill I!"

"However, it now appears that it has failed."

"Although you temporarily gained the power of the dead, this power is not enough to shake the curse of the gods."

"And, even if you die, you can really kill me, but you will die too."

After the words fell, Jeff dropped the book in his hand on the ground.

The black fluid released immediately went straight through the book.

"Wow~~"

Natsu opened his mouth for no reason, and even coughed up blood.

The sudden severe pain even made him a little dazed.

Jeff's actions just now seem to have proved all this.

"The book of Jeref was created by me to destroy me, so I implanted a concept in them, that is to find me after they grow to a certain level, and kill me."

"The life written by the genetic code of such life has to be connected with me."

"Therefore, as long as I, the creator, die, the Book of Zeref will also completely disintegrate," said Zeref.

Taking a deep breath: "What's more, you can't destroy me at all, so let's stop this battle."

"Perhaps... Only God can do this..." Looking at the sky, Jeff said such inexplicable words.

I thought that Natsu, who knew all this, would leave as he wished.

However, Jeff seems to have guessed wrong.

Reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Natsu clenched his fists again.

"Even so, so what?!" The roar was heard, and the raging flames once again rose from Naz's body.

"If I can completely end you, I don't care what happens!"

He raised his fist and took another step.

The roaring sound in the mouth seemed to be louder than the roaring sound of the surrounding flames.

Facing the oncoming fist, Jeff remained calm.

"So, since you were a child, you don't like to listen to other people's words at all."

Taking a deep breath: "If you insist on trying one last time...then come!"

"This may be your last chance to stop me, Natsu!"

Jeff gave up resistance again.

The fist burning with crimson flames completely enveloped Jeff once again.

boom---! !

—————

"Naz..." Luo Xingchen looked in the direction of the palace.

Whispering in a low voice.

Although he couldn't see the situation on Natsu's side, he had noticed the magic power of Natsu coming from the direction of the palace before.

Therefore, Luo Xingchen has been keeping an eye on the direction of the palace.

Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that Natsu was fighting Zeref at the moment.

Moreover, the magic power is gradually weakening.

boom--! !

The sudden explosion exploded beside Luo Xingchen.

The dazzling fire instantly engulfed Luo Xingchen completely.

"Are you worried about the situation over there? You're even distracted from the battle!"

Olgast withdrew the scepter he swung, and said softly.

His eyes were also fixed on the fiery flames in the direction of the palace, and complex emotions flashed on his old cheeks.

"No one can stop the battle over there, it is the choice of fate."

"The fate that has spanned four hundred years will eventually be decided between brothers."

call…

The gust of wind that hung out of nowhere blew away all the flames of the explosion, revealing the unscathed Luo Xingchen.

At this moment, his brows were tightly knit together.

"Fate? Brother?!"

"Heh, you don't know the full name of Natsu Dragneel." Olghast said slowly.

"Atrias Natsu Dragneel!"

"Aetlias! Ether Demon Race?!" Luo Xingchen's pupils shrank sharply!

As if he had noticed something, the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly.

"Oh, forget it, it's useless to talk too much, let's continue our battle, Luo Xingchen!" Ougaste withdrew his gaze.
