Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 3: Jellal's Plan
The "Twelve Holy Shields" also appeared one after another around that time and were assembled.

Of course, Endymion was not originally among the "Twelve Holy Shields". His position belonged to the "God" Serena.

Serena is the leader of the "Ten Holy Mages" of the Ishgar continent. His strength crushes the other "Ten Holy Mages". He can defeat at least four of the "Ten Holy Mages" by himself.

Between X791 and X792, he defected to the side of the Albares Empire and became one of the "Twelve Holy Shields" in order to defeat the "Black Dragon" Acnologia.

Afterwards, he died at the hands of the "Black Dragon" Acnologia at the speed of light, and his body was then controlled by another "Guardian of the Twelve Shields" and killed again by Gildarts of "Fairy Tail".

The whole process can be said to be quite abstract.

"That's right. Our original plan called for the Kingdom of Fiore as our main strategic location, as it contained the Lumen Starlight the Emperor desired."

Endymion was also very clear about what Inbell said. After all, he was also one of the participants. It's just that the war ended before it even began, so he had no chance to appear on the stage.

"Luminous Starlight" is actually the body and power of the deceased Mavis, Zeref's lover and one of the founders of the magic guild "Fairy Tail", sealed in a crystal.

Therefore, "Lumen Starlight" is also called the "Fairy Heart", symbolizing its importance to "Fairy Tail".

It is now sealed underground in the Fairy Tail Guild, which is located in the Kingdom of Fiore.

That's why Inbel said that it was the "main strategic location" of the Albares Empire.

As for why Jellal wanted to get it, the story started more than four hundred years ago.

At that time, Zeref, in order to resurrect his dead brother Natsu, violated a magical taboo and was cursed by Ankerthram, the "God of Life".

As we all know, in the magical world, being cursed by God is a serious matter and it is not easy to get rid of it.

The same goes for Jellal.

He became immortal, and most of those who approached his death would be killed by the "Curse of the God Anxelram". Even his lover Mavis died from this curse.

In order to lift the curse and to deal with his contemporary rival, the "Black Dragon" Acnologia, Zeref formulated three major plans.

"Project Atelias", "Project Albares Empire", and "Project Lumen Starlight".

The "Alvarez Empire Plan" refers to Zeref's establishment of a super magic empire called the Albareth Empire.

He recruited top wizards, including the "Twelve Holy Shields", and asked them to try to kill Acnologia and himself, but the hope was actually slim.

The "Curse of the God Anxelram" is so powerful that almost all magic in the world cannot compete with it. It is simply a fantasy to ask a wizard to kill Jellal.

The "Etrias Project" refers to Zeref's creation of evil and powerful creatures called "demons", which are also called "Etrias" and "Demons of the Book of Zeref".

The purpose of the birth of this group of demons is to kill their creator, and this "will" has been planted in their genes by Jellal.

A more pleasant way to put it is "homing instinct."

The demons all have a strong obsession to return to Zeref and fulfill his "wish", and they are willing to spend any amount of time and energy to do so.

As for the "Lumen Star Project", it is a plan that complements the "Alvarez Empire Project".

Zeref will use the power of the Albareth Empire to launch a full-scale attack on the continent of Ishgar, perform a massive war ritual called the "Dragon King Festival," and seize the "Lumen Starlight."

After that, he can use the core elements such as "Lumen Starlight" to go back to the past, kill Acnologia and himself, cut off the root of everything, and change the future.

However, this means resetting the world. Most of the current characters will disappear, replaced by a group of strangers and their related strange stories. This is actually another form of "destroying the world."

No wonder Jellal has been hesitant until now.

These plans were classified as confidential, and only a very few people in the entire Albares Empire knew about them, including the Twelve Holy Shields.

What is Inbel's purpose in bringing this up now?

Endymion became curious.

Emperor Jellal has been away from the empire for most of the year. According to him, he wants to find answers while traveling around the world. In fact, he just wants to "make up his mind."

The Albares Empire has been without an emperor for a long time.

Inbel, who was highly trusted by Zeref, became the consul of the empire, exercising the emperor's power and making various decisions.

In fact, Inbel did a good job, and with the assistance of the other "Twelve Holy Shields", the internal order of the Albares Empire has always been stable.

He would not come to Endymion on his own initiative without any purpose. He must be representing the will of the empire.

"Inbel, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want from me."

"Well. Then I won't waste any more words. In short, I want you to secretly go to the continent of Ishgar and stay there until your mission is accomplished."

Endymion's eyes lit up: "Why do you want me to go to Ishgar?"

Inbel adjusted his glasses, and the lenses shone strangely in the sunlight.

"When you get there, you'll mainly do three things."

"The first major thing is that our emperor often appears on the continent of Ishgar."

"If you could persuade him to make up his mind, return to the Empire, and implement the ultimate strategy of seizing Luminous Starlight, that would naturally be best."

"The second important thing is that you must try to destroy Ishgar's two major strategic magic weapons—the 'Magic Pulse Bomb, Fis' and the 'Magic Spirit Power'—in preparation for the Empire's future all-out war."

"The third major event is that the dark guild force on the continent of Ishgar, the Balam Alliance, is composed almost entirely of fanatical followers of our emperor."

"This is a force that cannot be ignored. You must integrate them to prepare for the Empire's future all-out war."

Because Zeref is the "creator of demons" and has left behind many "dark magic studies", coupled with the "curse of the god Anxelram", no grass grows wherever he goes.

He is also considered to be "the most evil black magician" and "the ancestor of black magicians."

It is unfair for Jellal to be given these names, but it is not unfair either.

He is not the kind of person who likes killing and indiscriminately killing innocent people, at least he does not like to kill people on his own initiative.

At most, he had seen too much in the past four hundred years, and the curse on him had killed too many innocent people, so he became somewhat indifferent to life.

But it is quite difficult to judge that he created the demon and then left it alone, allowing the demon to wreak havoc on the world for hundreds of years.
