Chapter 135: Chapter 374: Prison? No! It's a Generator!
Zeref appeared, freezing time.
Ultear's thoughts slowed dramatically, leaving her unable to activate her Magic App's passive Fairy Law, as Zeref's presence wasn't an offensive act.
Still, the Magic Net livestream remained unaffected.
In a flash of golden light, Nate arrived via teleportation.
Seeing Nate appear, Zeref spoke calmly, "Apologies, but I can't let you have this book."
Precht also turned to Nate, waiting for his input. Nate understood Zeref's attachment to E.N.D. After all, it was his brother. If Zeref wanted his brother's book back, Nate wasn't about to argue.
"Give it to him," Nate instructed.
Without hesitation, Precht tossed the E.N.D. book to Zeref.
"Thank you. This book is very important to me," Zeref said, gratitude evident in his tone. Without another word, he quietly vanished, just as he had appeared.
As Zeref left, time on Tartaros Island resumed its normal flow.
"You're just letting him go?" Precht asked.
Why wouldn't I? Nate thought. Zeref had already handed over his empire, his curse was lifted, and now he was just a harmless recluse. As for what Zeref planned to do with E.N.D., Nate wasn't concerned.
"Let him go," Nate replied with a shrug. "Second Master, you performed admirably today. With the Underworld King defeated, the remaining Nine Demon Gates are no longer a threat."
Precht handed the Underworld King's book to Nate. "The leader has been dealt with. I'll go check on the others. The book is in your hands now."
With that, Precht left. The Fairy Heart within him receded, reclaimed by the Magic Net ring, and he reverted to his original appearance.
"Well done."
Nate flipped through the Underworld King's book. Strings of demonic text emerged and coalesced into a spectral image of Mard Geer.
"Still conscious?" Nate remarked in surprise. "Seeing you this lively is reassuring."
Mard Geer's spectral form simply glared at Nate, clearly devoid of the strength to act.
"What are you planning, Lord of the Magic Net?"
"That's my question to you," Nate replied. "The mysterious divine-like magic Precht wielded—was it my doing? Yes. I call it White God Mode."
He elaborated, "Though it's called White God and possesses powers that transcend time and space, it's still far from true divine power. It's closer to a supercharged version of a Dragon Slayer's Dragon Force."
Nate smiled. "Today marks the official end of the Balam Alliance. The Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartaros are finished."
"Don't worry, I won't kill any of you. You all have a more important purpose now—as my Demonic Cursed Energy Generators."
With that, Nate closed the Underworld King's book, causing Mard Geer's spectral form to vanish along with the demonic text.
"This operation was surprisingly easy," Ultear said as she approached with a sly smile. "Compared to our fight against the Oración Seis, we barely faced any real resistance."
"That's thanks to the Second Master," Nate thought. The MVP title clearly belonged to Precht this time.
"Oh, by the way, Ultear, do you want to try White God Mode?"
"Me? Like the Second Master?"
"Of course," Nate said confidently. "The first fusion was risky, but with the Second Master's experience, I've perfected the process."
Grabbing her hand, Nate activated the Magic Net, injecting the Fairy Heart's power into her.
Boom!
Golden energy erupted as Ultear transformed into a pure white mage.
"Incredible!" Ultear exclaimed in awe. "With this limitless magic, I could even reverse the flow of time across the entire world."
Nate took a moment to admire her, his gaze lingering appreciatively.
"You're thinking something dirty, aren't you?" Ultear teased with a sultry smirk.
Rolling his eyes, Nate replied, "I was just thinking about how practical White God Mode is."
Indeed, the Fairy Heart was a remarkable magic. Anyone who used it could enter White God Mode, gaining a massive boost in power. However, even with its immense strength, it wasn't enough to achieve true godhood—it was still fundamentally just magic, albeit with infinite reserves.
Nate planned to share this capability with all of his girlfriends, ensuring they all had access to infinite magic power. The only limitation was that only two people could use it simultaneously.
"For now, take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the mode. Go help deal with the remaining Nine Demon Gates."
"Understood." Ultear nodded and left, eager to test her newfound strength.
Meanwhile, Nate opened the Magic Net and sent a private message to Erza.
Sigma Male: [White_God_Mode.App]
Sigma Male: [If you're in trouble, use this.]
Erza, busy fighting, didn't have time to respond.
...
The Nine Demon Gates, excluding the already-dismembered Kyôka, numbered eight.
After factoring in Absolute Zero Silver's defection, only seven remained.
To be honest, the S-Class mages of the assault force stood no chance of winning on their own. Except for Erza, the others struggled, consistently lagging behind and proving no match for the Nine Demon Gates.
Thankfully, with Precht's involvement and White God Ultear joining the fray, the tide of battle shifted immediately.
The two of them swept across the battlefield like a storm, displaying overwhelming power wherever they went.
In just half an hour, the entire operation was over.
Nate now had eight new demon books in front of him.
"Well done, everyone."
"This operation to eradicate Tartaros was a success thanks to your efforts. Without you, the magic world would've been in serious trouble!"
Trouble? Seriously? Any one of you Ten Wizard Saints could've handled this easily! Nate chuckled inwardly. "Once we return, I'll make sure the Magic Council awards each of you a Medal of Outstanding Contribution, commemorating your bravery in this mission."
"Can it be exchanged for money?"
Empty-pocketed Angel raised her hand hopefully.
"You can list it on the Magic Net marketplace. Someone might be willing to pay for it."
Waving dismissively, Nate continued, "Alright, I'll send you all back to the Council to rest."
A golden magic circle expanded beneath them, teleporting everyone away, leaving only Precht behind.
"Second Master, I have another task for you."
"I plan to turn this location into a new prison specifically for housing these demons."
Precht asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Construct the prison," Nate replied, pulling out a brand-new Magic Net ring. "Something like this."
The "prison" Nate envisioned was, in reality, a massive facility designed to extract cursed energy from the demons.
Each second-generation ring Precht crafted had to be imbued with Nate's internet magic to function as a Magic Net device. However, nothing dictated that the "internet login device" must be a ring.
A prison could serve the same purpose.
Demons imprisoned within would be perpetually suppressed by the Magic Net. Any cursed energy they generated would be extracted immediately.
And thus, the Demon Cursed Energy Generator was born.
