Chapter 20: A single snap from him can destroy the world

The Black energy from his hand shoot at me.

Irene and August moved far away from us and stood at the end of the room.

Sweeshhh

I'm surrounded by the black orb containing death energy, then I began to absorb it.

Normally anyone who touchs it will die but I'm not some random nobody.

The Black orb surrounding me began to shrink and disappeared after few seconds.

The Black marks in the right hand of zeref also disappeared but the outline is still there.

"No matter how many times I saw this it will leave me astonished." August commented.

I met with zeref a few years ago, when I went to have vacation in the beach alone I met zeref there, he is struggling to contain the curse and released it on me.

I immediately absorbed the energy which left him dumbfounded. It increased my energy reserves by an astonishing amount.

After that we talked about his past and we become friends. Then I used by reality manipulation to manipulate his curse so that the released death will be stored in his left arm and I will absorb it once in a while.

It will benefit both of us, since my energy reserves will increase after absorbing death energy and he can live with others without having to hide his emotions.

while I can remove the curse completely and free him but that will bring the attention of death God who cursed zeref.I don't want any unwanted attention back then but not anymore.

"This will be the last time you'll see it August." I smiled at him and turned to see zeref's eyes widened.

I placed my hand towards him and a white transparent waves began to strike zeref.

After few seconds I stopped and smiled at zeref.

"You're truly free now zeref, congratulations."

His eyes widened and he looked at his left arm but the outline of the black marks no longer present.

He cast some spell to check his condition, even Irene and August helped.

"Thank you Mark, but why now." After realising he is truly freed from the curse zeref is beyond happy but asked me curiously.

"You remember when I told you that I don't want any unwanted attention until I'm strong enough to beat anyone." I asked him and he nodded.

"While I'm still not strong enough to beat anyone.... I'm done with hiding." I spoke the last part with serious eyes.

"Something is going to happen isn't it." Zeref did caught my point and asked me with serious face.

"What I'm about to tell is very important so listen carefully..." I told them about the upcoming war between rulers and Monarchs.

They didn't know my full powers as I didn't tell them but only know that I can manipulate reality on a limited scale only because of energy limitation but in the future it is going to change and I told them that.

"That was wow....so with the powers you possess the side you choose to stand will have the upper hand and your decision will decide the outcome, which is the reason the monarchs wants to kill you, isn't it." Irene asked me after hearing all that.

Zeref and August are silent and looking at me.

"Well, they are currently low numbered and can't take any chances now. Anyway I need your help zeref." I asked him seriously.

"I'll help you in anyway Mark, you're not only my friend and someone I'm indebted to, but If they really are as strong as you told me I'm not that confident I can defeat them all, I can take one or two Monarchs." Zeref tells us his honest opinion.

He is thinking like this not because he's not strong, it is because he didn't want to overestimate himself when he didn't know the full strength of his enemies.

"Shadow monarch and me will take care of the monarchs, I want your help in other matters zeref." I put my hand in my pocket and took a pendrive in it.

"They can't enter Terra because of the shields guarding it, so they send their avatars and contacted some humans and they decided to work together to seal me. I have some of their names in this pendrive along with the details about their origin, locations etc, I need your help in taking care of them." I handed the pendrive to zeref.

After taking it zeref looked at me in confusion.

"Why did you need his help, you can destroy them with your powers." Irene asked me in confusion.

"...."

"You're afraid aren't you." Zeref observing my silence spoke breaking the silence.

"Why would he be afraid, he-"

"He is afraid of his powers Irene, or to be specific afraid of the consequences of his actions." Zeref cut Irene and told her.

"Sign....you know me..haha.." I signed in defeat and laughed.

Irene looked at me in shock and August nodded in understanding.

"Why" Irene asked me.

"Because a single snap from him can destroy the world." August replied to her question.

"Having too much power is also a burden Irene, if he used his powers to do Something he didn't wish to do, even with his reality manipulation somethings can't be changed or if changed they can't be the same after rewritten." August spoke like an elder.

"That is true August and I don't want to became someone who do whatever he wishes without thinking, I have friends and family to rely on." I smiled and looked at them.

"Count us in"x3 they said at the same time and smiled.

"So, Now that you're truly free, you can visit them zeref." I said to zeref.

"I'm...stil-"

"Cut the bullshit and talk to them, Mavis and Natsu Both deserve to know about you and if you're worried about that black lizard I'll erase his existence right now." I cut him off and said as I raised my voice.

"No, he's mine to destroy, I'm the one who created him and the one to stop him will also be me, but....sign...fine...I talk to them in a few days." Zeref first agitated but signed and said.

I smiled in satisfaction and looked at August who avoided my eyes.

' you're next' I conveyed the message to August with a smile.

Sign... He signed.

After that we talked about somethings and seeing it's getting dark, I send my regards to them and returned home.

**Inside a temple**

Many people who are wearing orange uniform stood in line and infront of them stood uma in the yellow uniform of sorcerer supreme.

"In a few days, the sheilds that are guarding Terra will lose it's power for few minutes, be prepared to guard this world from outside influences." Uma told them in serious tone.

"How can that be possible." Someone asked.

"In a few days, a press conference will be held and at the end of it, a phenomenon will occur that will change the world which will also effect the sheilds, that is all I can say currently, so be prepared and ready." She spoke in extremely serious tone.

Many shocked at first but after thinking they came to conclusion that Ancient one has used the artefact with which she can foresee the future, after knowing the grave situation they'll face in the future they all began to make preparations and left.

Uma turned looking up in the sky and saw the night moon.

"I hope that everything will be fine in your future journey Mark." She whispered those words and went into a portal that appeared with her hand gesture.
