Tartaros Guild Headquarters.

A sudden, violent tremor shook the floating cube.

"An earthquake? We're in midair. Earthquakes shouldn't be able to reach us here…"

Suddenly, the alarms blared. "Intruder alert! We have an intruder!"

"What's going on? How could there be an intruder here?" Kyôka immediately gave orders. "Alert everyone—prepare for battle at once!"

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! All combat personnel, prepare for battle at the main entrance immediately! Intruder alert! All combat personnel, prepare for battle immediately!"

Everyone sprang into action. Before long, they had all assembled at the front of the guild headquarters. In the command room, Kyôka asked, "How many enemies are there?"

"Just one!" replied one of the Nine Demon Gates.

They quickly pulled up the surveillance feed, and an image soon appeared on-screen—Acnologia, in his human form.

"Who is that?" Kyôka frowned.

Acnologia was currently in human form, wearing simple clothes and barefoot. Although 400 years had passed, and the demons from the Book of Zeref didn't recognize him, the Nine Demon Gates felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if they shared a common source of power…

...

...

"Kill him!"

Everyone charged at Acnologia. He raised a fist and slammed it down.

Crack! Crack!

The very air seemed to crack under the force of his blow. The shockwave slammed into the attackers, sending them flying with screams of pain.

The ground beneath them shattered, a massive fissure splitting the earth, reaching all the way to the Tartaros headquarters.

Crack! Crack!

The floating cube, the headquarters of Tartaros, split in two. Those inside screamed as they stumbled and fell. The Nine Demon Gates stared in disbelief.

"He… he broke the space with his bare hands!" Torafuzar stammered, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"This guy… he hasn't even used any magic. He did this with pure physical strength!" Ezel was terrified.

"What a scary power..." Seilah frowned.

"Attack!" The remaining Tartaros members began to unleash their magic. A barrage of magic attacks flew towards Acnologia.

But… they were completely ineffective.

Ezel grinned, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "It seems these enhanced foot soldiers aren't strong enough to stop him. If we let him keep destroying the guild, we'll be a laughingstock. I'll tear him to pieces!"

No sooner had Ezel spoken than he charged straight at Acnologia. Torafuzar tried to stop him, but it was too late. Silver spoke up, "Ezel is always too rash. But he's not wrong—if Tartaros is destroyed, it will be a disgrace."

"Human, allow me to entertain you!"

"Die!"

"Five Swords of the Underworld — Demonic Power!!"

Ezel crossed his four arms over his chest and unleashed a massive cross-shaped slash. Everything in its path was cleaved apart. Acnologia casually raised his hand to intercept. Ezel roared with laughter:

"You want to block my slash barehanded? Are you insane…?"

When the dust settled, Acnologia hadn't budged an inch. In his hand, there was only a faint white mark. He hadn't even broken the Dragon King's defense.

"W-What?!"

As demons created by Zeref, they were intimately familiar with each other's powers. Ezel's slashes were said to be unstoppable, yet they had never seen anyone block them so easily.

"Quite impressive. Blocking my slash like that… Let's see how you handle this: Five Swords of the Underworld—Juzumaru!"

"Trash, get out of my way!"

Whoosh!

Acnologia raised his fist, then slammed it towards Ezel.

Crack! Crack!

The space around his fist fractured, the dense cracks spreading outwards. Ezel's slash was instantly shattered. He was too stunned to even react, his body struck by the shockwave.

"Ugh… Aaaahhh!"

He screamed as he was sent flying backwards. He slammed into the ground, his four arms and six octopus-like legs digging into the earth, leaving a trail of destruction before he finally came to a stop.

Ezel coughed up blood, his face contorted in rage. "Damn it! I'm not trash! I'm Ezel of the Nine Demon Gates!"

"Cutting Mode!"

Ezel's four arms morphed into gigantic steel blades, his other limbs also taking on a metallic sheen.

"Mikazuki Slash!"

Boom!

Ezel unleashed a massive slash towards Acnologia, its power tearing through the earth as it flew towards him.

Acnologia stood his ground, not even bothering to move. Just as the slash was about to strike, he flicked his wrist, deflecting the attack.

"No way!!"

Ezel couldn't believe it. His ultimate technique had been brushed away with terrifying ease. But Acnologia gave him no time to lament; at the very instant he parried the slash, the ground beneath his feet exploded as he lunged toward Ezel.

"..." The other Nine Demon Gates were shocked. They hadn't expected that Acnologia would so effortlessly deflect a blow from Ezel in his transformed state.

"Die!"

Ezel howled, swinging his four massive blades towards Acnologia.

Whoosh!

Acnologia instantly responded with a punch.

Crack! Crack! The steel blades on Ezel's four arms shattered in an instant.

"!!!!" Ezel's eyes widened in disbelief, but before he could finish his sentence, Acnologia's hand clamped around his throat.

"Aaaahh!"

But before his attack could land, a searing pain wracked his body, causing him to scream in agony. His steel body was riddled with cracks. He reverted to his original form.

His body was covered in blood, looking like a dying octopus. In that instant, Acnologia had shattered nearly every bone in Ezel's body, including his skull.

"Aaaahh!"

With Ezel's agonizing screams fading, the air fell silent. Someone as powerful as Ezel had been toyed with like a child in his opponent's hands.

The force on display was overwhelming. The entire Tartaros guild felt their pressure spike. Silver narrowed his eyes:

"Monster…"

That sentiment rang in every heart. Keyes - The Black Archbishop, raised his staff, which radiated a black aura.

"It's our turn now. We can't let this guy continue to wreak havoc."

Suddenly, the corpses of those just killed by Acnologia began to stir and move, all rushing at him in a renewed assault.

The meaning behind Keyes's words was clear to the others—they had to strike all at once; otherwise, they would be picked off one by one. Everyone nodded.

Upon seeing Acnologia's formidable display, none of them felt confident they could defeat him alone. And yet, noticing the revived corpses, Acnologia remained unfazed.

"A Necromancer, I presume? But you can only control the bodies of the recently deceased. Such petty tricks."

"Orders." Seilah also attempted to activate her Macro Curse on Acnologia. "What? My Orders are useless against him? His resistance to magic is far too great!"

"Living Link!"

Franmalth stretched out his arms, attempting to absorb Acnologia's soul.

"Give me your soul!"

"Souls? How ignorant!"

Acnologia scoffed. Franmalth, eager to absorb Acnologia's soul, suddenly screamed in agony.

"Aaaahhh! What's happening? My soul is being drained!"

A mere demon from the Book of Zeref daring to try and absorb his soul? It was practically suicide.

Kyôka swiftly kicked Franmalth away, severing the connection.

"Dark Blade!" Keyes pointed his staff at Acnologia. A blade formed from dark energy sprang from the ground, slicing toward him.

Boom!

Keyes's Dark Blade struck Acnologia.

The blade shattered on impact. The demons of Tartaros stared at Acnologia, their faces grim. Though they had just met... they could sense that this man was unlike anyone they had ever encountered.

Whoosh!

In a flash, Acnologia was in front of Franmalth, grabbing him by the head. Franmalth screamed.

Whoosh!

Acnologia gathered dark energy in his mouth, forming a small, condensed sphere. The other demons recognized this attack.

He was about to use his roar.

Franmalth, sensing the danger, desperately struck at Acnologia, but it was useless. His attacks couldn't even penetrate Acnologia's defenses.

Boom!

At point-blank range, Acnologia unleashed his roar, a blinding black light.

"Aaaahhh!"

Franmalth screamed.

Boom! Boom!

The roar blasted through the building behind Franmalth, leaving a gaping, circular hole. Franmalth's chest was also pierced through, creating a circular hole.

"My precious collection of souls… It seems I'll have to die once…" Franmalth's body dissolved, leaving behind a cluster of souls.

Acnologia sneered coldly, "Against me, you won't get the chance to come back a second time."

Acnologia opened his mouth, sucking the souls in. He could devour demons' souls. The other demons of Tartaros were terrified. They were used to feasting on human souls, but they had never seen a human devour a demon's soul.

Moreover, if Acnologia devoured their souls, they wouldn't be able to revive in Hell's Core. This was why Ezel hadn't revived after so long.

"This human… must die!" Kyôka declared with grave determination. The others understood. They couldn't hold back anymore. They had to transform, to reveal their true forms as demons of the Book of Zeref.

"Order: Self-Restraints—Release!"

Seilah transformed, taking on her Etherious form. She stomped her foot, charging towards Acnologia, her fist aimed at his face.

BOOM!!

The ground beneath Acnologia's feet webbed with cracks and then caved in. A large, dark-blue eye opened on Seilah's hand, gathering power in a bluish glow.

Buzz! Boom, boom, boom!

A series of earth-shaking blasts ensued. Acnologia remained standing.

"Darkness Zero!"

A black mist coiled around Acnologia, blinding him on all sides.

"Five Senses Deprivation!"

Kyôka stripped Acnologia of his five senses. He could no longer see, hear, smell, touch, or taste.

"Attack him now!"

Kyôka shouted. Torafuzar transformed into his demon form, appearing before Acnologia and launching a powerful punch.

Thud!

Acnologia calmly raised his hand and blocked Torafuzar's fist, then flung him towards Kyôka.

Kyôka was in disbelief.

"H-How can this be…?"

"No… impossible! You shouldn't be able to see or hear anything. How are you predicting our attacks so perfectly?"

Acnologia chuckled.
