Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Just then, a backstage staff member ran up to the front of the stage and whispered a few words in the ear of the old man giving the commentary. The latter's face suddenly turned terrified.

The old man reached out and touched his chest, looked at the astonished crowd, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, everyone, this is not an enemy attack."

He tried to calm himself down, and finally spoke again, his face serious: "The visitors are... Devil's Tail. For some reason, they gave their guild to..."

"Uh, it's here!"

The moment the old man finished speaking, the forest finally approached the arena of the Great Demon Fighting Tournament.

It was so enormous that it was several times larger than the arena itself.

Only when you get close can you see how fast this celestial island moves; however, it is so huge that it appears to float slowly, like dark clouds passing by or a cold front passing through.

As they got closer to the forest, everyone noticed.

it's dark.

The shadow cast by the sea of ​​trees covered the entire arena, and even half of the capital was under its cover.

"Damn it, is this really not against the rules?" Ivan, the leader of Raven's Tail, pounded his thigh and roared, "Where is the kingdom? Aren't they going to stop it?!"

Who holds their guild meeting right above the venue?

And who knows how they did it?

Whose guild is so kind that it's a sky island, and freaking flying in the sky?!

But right now, nobody cares about the emotions of these contestants.

After the explanation, the entire arena instantly boiled over like a pot of hot oil.

"That's fucking awesome!"

"Devil's Tail...?"

"I go……"

Numerous shouts surged through the arena.

Many more were speechless with shock.

Amidst the jubilant crowd, a little boy frantically jumped up and down, raising his hand high and pointing towards the sea of ​​trees above.

He wanted to cheer, but couldn't say a word.

That was the spinning top he had chosen; it wasn't late, nor was it afraid to take the stage.

He howled silently.

Chapter 353 The Devil's Tail, First Appearance!

The forest has settled down.

This enormous aerial continent hovered silently above the arena, casting its chilling shadow.

This is absolutely not allowed by the rules.

Unfortunately, Zhou Lan's connections and methods were also quite formidable.

With his endorsement from the Magic Council, things were simpler than expected.

"My God, is this really what a new guild should look like?" This thought flashed through the minds of countless people on the ground.

Even if you said it was some kind of super-magical ancient ruin, you couldn't find a single fault with it.

To everyone else, five dark figures sped down from the edge of the sea of ​​trees.

They floated down to the ground, landing in the arena in front of more than a hundred teams.

"Is this... the Devil's Tail?" This display is truly astonishing.

Ximu stood before his four subordinates, his confident gaze sweeping across the entire dueling arena.

It's obvious that he's the leader of the guild.

Soon, a staff member ran up and whispered to Ximuer.

It's obvious what they're talking about.

It's just that the Forest of Trees is too big, which really affects the development of the gladiatorial combat. Hopefully, Devil's Tail can move the Forest of Trees to the side.

There's no way around it, this thing really doesn't look like it's here to participate in the Grand Magic Games. To be honest, it looks more like it's here to attack the capital.

Ximu was also a "well-informed" master. Standing in the arena, he raised his arm.

The next second, the vast sea of ​​trees floated to the side, finally clearing the sky above the arena.

Otherwise, this grand martial arts competition might not be able to continue.

And so the sky over the arena finally brightened again.

However, after being so intimidated, the once bustling venue suddenly became somewhat quiet.

People no longer argue about which guild is number one in their hearts, nor do they engage in heated debates about which mage is the strongest.

Most of them turned their attention to the five figures that had descended to the ground.

Westwood, Laxus, Wendy, Gerald, and Gajeel.

"Hoo hoo, it seems our last team for this Grand Magic Games has arrived. Next, I will explain the rules of the first qualifying round..."

After the opening ceremony concluded, the commentators began reporting on the next steps according to the pre-arranged schedule.

But many viewers were no longer paying attention.

A slight commotion arose again, with people discussing information about the five archmages of Devil's Tail.

"I know that guy, tall and strong, he's Laxus, a mage who used to belong to Fairy Tail. He's supposedly incredibly strong, I wonder how he ended up joining another guild..."

"You don't know this? There was a battle in Magnolia Town a while ago, which was probably related to him. I guess he was expelled from the guild by Makarov."

"Where's the one with the spiky hair?"

"Gajeel of the Phantom Lords, but it is said that their guild has been destroyed."

"I know that cute little girl, Wendy from the Cat's Den. She's also said to be a Dragon Slayer Mage, but unfortunately her guild seems to have been shut down recently."

"So it was a group buying event..."

“But you really can’t tell who’s wrapped up so tightly…” someone’s gaze turned to Gerald.

To avoid revealing his identity, this guy was wrapped in a long robe and wore a mask.

After all, within the territory of the Kingdom of Fiore, he should be considered a dead man.

Finally, all eyes were on Ximu, who was standing in front of the four.

He accepted the gazes with composure and ease, showing none of the shyness or timidity one would expect from a young man facing such a grand occasion.

It seems that's how it should be.

"This young man seems quite powerful. It seems the other four members of Devil Tail all follow him," someone analyzed.

The joy of being a spectator lies in this: guessing and witnessing.

"It might be an ancient relic; it's said to contain magic that can reverse aging or incarnate in other bodies..."

Unlike the various discussions in the audience.

The expressions of the other guild teams standing in the arena were not so enthusiastic.

After all, the five most popular people in the arena are about to become their opponents.

The stronger the opponent, the more difficult it is for them to win.

Instead, in Fairy Tail, which everyone mistakenly thought would be a scene of enemies meeting, Natsu jumped up enthusiastically and greeted Nishiki from a distance.

We're all old acquaintances.

Natsu is the kind of guy who does whatever comes to mind. He participated in the Grand Magic Games for the collective honor of Fairy Tail.

Secondly, it's to get some exercise and have a good fight with different opponents.

It's hard to say which of these two points he values ​​more.

He and Ximu had a fairly good relationship when they were in the guild.

So, before the match even started, he grabbed Lucy and ran toward the devil's tail.

"Yo, we meet again!" Natsu looked at Nishiki with a gleam in his eyes.

He naturally ignored Lagersas beside him.

Laxus crossed his arms and turned his head to the side. His personality used to be quite bad, although it hasn't improved much now.

"I never expected you to join a new guild. I never imagined we'd be rivals soon!" Natsu exclaimed excitedly, showing no concern whatsoever about becoming competitors.

“That’s right, my great general, would you be interested in joining my guild?” Ximu asked with a smile.

With his broad perspective, it's not hard for him to see that Natsu's future is bright.

"Never mind then, I still want to compete with Gray to see who can score more points in this game!" Natsu scratched his head sheepishly. "But if we meet again, I won't hold back."

He clenched his fist, his face full of confidence.

“Of course.” Ximu nodded with a smile.

This was a test specially set up for him by Zhou Lan, and it could also be considered a demonstration of his final achievements in this world.

After this assessment, my brother will leave.

Regardless of the reason, whether it's for his own sake or to repay Zhou Lan for her support during this period, he still wants to achieve his goals.

He should rightfully present the title of "Number One Guild" as a parting gift to his brother Zhou Lan.

“You need to be careful, we… are quite strong.” A glint flashed in Ximu’s eyes.

During this period, he analyzed many kinds of magic and now he can be considered to have mastered them.

He is proficient in several types of dragon-slaying magic alone.

Although his aura may not seem to be the strongest among the members of Devil Tail, anyone who underestimates him because of this, or is unlucky enough to run into him, will still be in trouble.

That would be truly a blessing.

Chapter 354 Anyone else have objections?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside a conference room outside the arena.

At the behest of the organizers of the Grand Magic Games, namely the kingdom's nobles, a meeting is underway.

It's simply a matter of gathering the leaders of all the major guilds together and explaining the rules in detail, so that some extreme individuals won't take any rash actions when their guilds are losing.

Inside the conference room, over a hundred powerful mages stood on their respective sides, but the atmosphere inside seemed rather tense.

"Why is it that Devil's Tail can bring its guild into the capital?" a guild leader complained indignantly. "Does the kingdom think we don't have similar mobile weapons?!"

"That's right, they've completely stolen the limelight now. Who doesn't have some magical weapons?!"

"This is unfair! There's something fishy going on!"

"We must consider whether this Grand Magic Games is fair and just, and whether there is excessive favoritism within the kingdom."

"That's true. Demon Tail is giving us way too much face. Even now, we haven't even seen their guild master yet..."

A chorus of dissent arose in the conference room.

This is a field of interests, where everyone is fighting for their own interests and face.

Apart from Makarov, he stood silently to the side, not uttering a word.

"Makarov, as the guild master of Fairy Tail, don't you have anything to say?" A familiar face suddenly singled out Makarov and asked with displeasure.

"Or are you actually in the know, which is why you're acting so calm?"

These guild leaders are all clever masters. Since the discussions have yielded no results and they can't do anything about the kingdom, they might as well direct their anger at a single individual. They believe that Makarov will speak up for them to prove himself.

However, Makarov simply shook his head quietly.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I do know some things..."

Before the club presidents could get agitated, he continued, "But it has nothing to do with fairness."
