Zeref informed Fire Dragon King Igneel that Acnologia is the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, destined to destroy this era, and they then agreed on the Eclipse Plan to send Natsu and The Five Children to the future.
Next, Iron Dragon Metalicana, Shadow Dragon Skiadath, White Dragon Weisslogia, and Sky Dragon Grandeeney gathered to teach The Five Children Dragon Slaying Magic.
Acnologia intended for the images to END here, but to his surprise, everyone was hooked and watched with relish, requesting to continue.
To this, Acnologia naturally satisfied their request.
The Five Dragons and The Five Children ate, drank, and played every day. Then Acnologia arrived, and scene after scene showed him interacting with them—writing novels, arranging clothes, teaching the five academic-failure dragons common life knowledge... Later, Acnologia and the Good Dragons led by Igneel fought together against the Evil Dragons, shifting from a warm life to bloody slaughter.
Seeing it with their own eyes was far more shocking than hearing it told. Seeing scene after scene of Acnologia brutally tearing apart the dragon race, everyone's blood boiled, wishing they could take his place.
No wonder Acnologia is so powerful; compared to people of this era, he has a more decisive and ruthless temperament.
Coming from a slaughter-filled battlefield, it's a miracle he can still be so gentle.
The war was incredibly tragic. The Good Dragons' side was completely suppressed by the Evil Dragons, who outnumbered them several times over. Acnologia also faced narrow escapes. Humans died in large numbers—corpses everywhere, rivers of blood.
Then the Dragon Slayer Mages bathed in dragon blood and began Dragonification. The kingdom in the rear was attacked by Evil Dragons, so Acnologia had the Good Dragons retreat to defend. Igneel and the Five Dragons sought out Zeref to learn the Dragon Soul Technique and execute the Eclipse Plan, while he continued to lead the human army to hold the front line against the Evil Dragons.
After a hard battle, the front-line war was won. Acnologia returned to the Dragnof Kingdom, and at this time, Erza was born.
Because the Human-Dragon War was at its most frenzied, Acnologia had Irene take Erza to the Fiore Kingdom to find Anna Heartfilia and seek refuge in the future together.
Then Irene entrusted Erza to Lady Anna and returned to the battlefield once more to slay dragons alongside Acnologia.
The final stage of the war left the mountains and rivers shattered, the sun and moon dim, and humanity nearly extinct... Until Acnologia closed the temporal images, everyone remained immersed in the scenes of the past, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Ten minutes passed, and everyone finally came back to their senses.
Happy was a bit confused: "Natsu is END?"
"Zeref is Natsu's older brother, and Natsu was resurrected as a demon."
Lucy's heart was filled with indescribable feelings. If Natsu is a demon, what about having children... Her face flushed, then she felt it was nonsensical. That's Natsu's business; why was she thinking about that?
And Anna is her ancestor, not an aunt... Her damn mom actually lied to her!
Mavis felt downcast. It turned out Zeref had suffered so much as a child and was cursed by the Ankhseram God only to save his only younger brother... Erza's eyes were teary. It turned out her mom and dad also had times when they were beaten so badly. Seeing her dad being bitten by several dragons with blood splattering, she broke down in tears on the spot.
Laxus's eyes widened as he watched scene after scene of Acnologia slaying dragons, tanking countless Roars, biting off an Evil Dragon's neck, and tearing apart a dragon's body with his claws... Is this the world-ending dragon king?!
He turned to look at the guy lying on the sofa, eating and drinking like a salted fish, and his shock instantly vanished, replaced by speechlessness.
This guy is a goner; he's completely lost the brutal ferocity of dragon slaying from four hundred years ago.
Mirajane smiled: "I didn't expect Acnologia to like children so much. That Parenting Manual was actually written by you."
He not only cooked and brought new clothes for The Five Children but also taught Igneel and the Five Dragons how to raise children and human knowledge.
"Actually, it was useless. I wrote it, but those Five Dragons didn't even read it. It was a complete waste of time."
Acnologia felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't expected a Parenting Manual to still be circulating today. Does he, the world-ending dragon king, have no dignity left?
Makarov shook his head: "It wasn't a waste of time. That manual of yours is very useful; the entire continent has benefited from it."
It's simply hard to imagine that thing was written by the world-ending dragon king, let alone during the Human-Dragon War four hundred years ago. It's ridiculous to even think about.
Lucy suddenly thought of something, her eyes shining: "Acnologia, the novels you wrote are even revered as the holy scriptures of the novel world!"
This person is the progenitor of the novel world; she didn't expect her idol to be right beside her.
Lucy patted her head; she should have thought of it when Acnologia revealed his identity last time.
"That was a long time ago..."
Acnologia gave a helpless smile. He had just copied works from another world. If he had written them himself, they would surely have flopped.
Gajeel said in surprise: "No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity the first time I met you. It turns out you actually raised us."
And that guy Metalicana actually made him eat iron since he was a kid. It's ridiculous. If it weren't for Acnologia, he might not have survived until now.
Wendy felt a bit down: "Acnologia is my big brother, and I actually forgot."
Acnologia rubbed her small head and comforted her: "It's fine if you forgot. You were too young then, and traveling through the Eclipse Gate still had an effect on you."
He remembered from the temporal images that he had told Grandeeney to give Wendy good nourishment, but she didn't listen at all, which is why Wendy still has a flat figure now.
Wendy knew Acnologia had never been angry with her and smiled again: "Big brother, can I call you that again?"
Acnologia said with a smile: "As long as you like it, you can call me whatever you want."
"Thank you, big brother!"
Wendy jumped up happily, then remembered Anna-sensei, whom she hadn't recognized last time either.
And Grandeeney—she actually had such a girly side. For the sake of barbecue, she kept calling Acnologia 'big brother' incessantly. Wendy felt embarrassed just watching the screen.
The most troubled was Gray. The demon created by Zeref killed his family. If it weren't for Acnologia, even Ur would have died because of it... Now he was told that Natsu is also a demon, Zeref's brother... He couldn't accept it at all. How was he supposed to get his revenge?
"Gray!"
Gray looked up slightly, realized Acnologia was calling him, and asked with slight confusion: "What?"
Acnologia said seriously: "I know your anger. I will find a way to resurrect your family."
"What?"
Gray looked shocked: "They've been dead for many years..."
Acnologia said with a smile: "Do you believe me?"
Gray looked at the person before him, his heart shaking, and nodded vigorously: "I believe you!"
Since Acnologia said he could do it, then he definitely could. He had always believed in him!
Cana said hesitantly: "My mom also..."
Acnologia snapped his fingers: "No problem. If you have any regrets, you can tell me. Just as long as you don't ask me to resurrect your ancestors along with them."
Since he already controlled the Power of Time and Space, what was there to fear? Resurrecting one is resurrection, resurrecting a hundred is also resurrection, so why not make everyone Happy?
Everyone immediately cheered in excitement. Could their dead fathers, mothers, friends, and wives all come back?
Mavis and Zera were also jubilant; they had many good friends too.
Makarov was worried. Most people in the guild had someone they wanted to resurrect. Counting them all up, there would be hundreds. That was a bit too many.
He looked at everyone, cleared his throat, and said: "Resurrection is a taboo of the Magic Council..."
"Master!"
Everyone suddenly put on a pitiful look.
Makarov said helplessly: "My point is don't be too unreasonable. No more than two per person, and those who died of natural old age cannot be resurrected. Because once the Magic Council and the Kingdom find out, I'm afraid there will be no place for us in the world."
He knew well the temptation of resurrection. How many people in the entire continent wanted to resurrect the dead? Once it was discovered that Fairy Tail could do it, the whole world would go crazy.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered again. They also knew the terror of Resurrection Magic; one or two were already enough.
