Chapter 8: Theory and practice are two different things

############################

The name Ulquiorra became quite popular in the Magnolia town. People have described him as a true Devil, with some even saying that he is strong enough to be one of the Ten wizard Saints.

On the other hand, Ulquiorra had collected a lot of money, but he had not raised enough to pay off his debts but was on the verge of getting the necessary amount. Maybe he'll only need to do one or two Ace-type tasks.

But Ulquiorra is in no hurry.

«Oak Town, Inside the Phantom Lord's Guild Headquarters»

There was a child and a "little thing" walking inside the building; This little thing seemed to be a cat like Happy, who was wearing a pink frog-like pajama. There was a smile on the child's face like Lucy's when she got a golden key from Galona Island; In his hands he carried bags full of magazines, while the cat carried a bag full of candy.

This child is probably no more than twelve years old, with a slightly slender body and slightly pale skin. He wears a yellow kimono with a black undershirt and black pants, in addition to two brown long boots. His black hair was loose on the right side of his face, giving him an attractive appearance. But the most noticeable thing is his red eyes, which resemble the eyes of snakes, as these eyes do not fit at all with this childish face.

Anyway, the boy and his cat were sitting at one of the tables, they were both reading the magazines and eating sweets. The cat was browsing magazines about fish and seafood, while the boy was eating sweets and reading comic magazines.

"Yo, Ryos. If you keep eating sweets you'll end up going to the dental clinic, again. The last time that happened, you had a panic attack and ruined the clinic."

The boy turned towards the source of the sound. He was a strange-looking man, dressed in red, with black hair on one side and white on the other side of his head, a horizontal black line running across his face.

"Frosh thinks so too." The cat in the pink pajama spoke.

"Hey!! How can I not be afraid when I see a man trying to chop my mouth, Totomaru?!?!" The boy looked rather embarrassed. Ryos was not a fan of dentists.

"No, no, no. Three no. Sometimes you should listen to other people's advice, Ryos-kun!" The sound came from under the stone floor. A few seconds later, a man emerged from under the ground, looking as if he had emerged from under the water.

The mage who revealed his presence was a thin man of medium height, with green hair pointing upwards, and his pointed mustache. He wore a brown suit with six protruding spurs protruding from the collar, beneath a white collared shirt with a red tie. His eccentric dress was complete with a monocular lens covering his right eye, and a small cloak that was attached to his elbows rather than his back.

"Sol-san. Not you either." Ryos spoke in frustration.

Although Ryos is not official member of the Phantom Lord Guild, everyone considers him one of them, even Jose. The only reason he didn't become a member of the Phantom Lord's Guild was because he was too young to be accepted. But it was his continued success in accomplishing his duties that made Jose accept his presence.

"Ryos-kun…" a female voice spoke.

"Juvia nee-san?" Rios spoke as he looked at the newcomer.

The woman was young and possessed of a slender figure, her blue hair tightly curled and a pair of dark blue eyes. She was wearing a navy blue coat, a fur shawl, and a Russian Cossack hat.

"Jose-sama asks you to deliver this message." Juvia said in a voice devoid of emotion. She took out a letter bearing the mark of the Wizard saint.

"Well.., where does he want this letter to go?" Ryos spoke, looking closely at the letter.

"Makarov Dreyar, Master of the Fairy Tail Guild. Master Jose wants this message to reach Makarov as soon as possible." Juvia replied.

"Fairy Tail... I don't know where that guild is and I don't think I've met Makarov..." Ryos put his index finger on his chin. "But Maybe I know some people who belong to that guild. Can I ask them to give the letter to Makarov?" asked Ryos.

Juvia sighed. "As long as Makarov receives the message, it doesn't matter what kind of methods you use. Just make sure the message gets to Makarov."

"Don't worry, Nee-san!! Consider that the message has arrived." Ryos said with a wide smile on his face. Then he turned to Frosh. "Don't let anyone eat my candy." Ryos turned into a shadow and then quickly walked out of the building.

(Adrian von Ziegler: dark music - fetal Lullaby)

(A/N: Pssss, to everyone who loves epic and relaxing music, you should listen to Adrian von Ziegler's music, his music is very good. :) )

Inside a closed room, a man was muttering in an incomprehensible language. But it is clear that this man understands very well the meaning of what he is saying.

This man was wearing a black hooded cloak that covered the upper half of his face. As for the room, the room was empty of furniture, but that never meant that the room was empty!

This room was filled with the corpses of children and women who had been killed a few minutes earlier. In addition to the presence of a large circle within it a drawing of a six-pointed star with some symbols and letters whose meaning was impossible to understand. But it seemed clear that this circle had been drawn using the blood of these victims.

The man appears to be performing a ritual invoking some creature, a dangerous creature.

A few drops of sweat fell from the face of the man who was still muttering incomprehensible words. He seemed very nervous, but no one would blame him for that; After all, black magic is one of the most dangerous types of magic known to mankind, as one mistake may equal death, but if a man stops reciting invocation spells before he finishes it, he has condemned himself to suffer a fate much worse than death!

When the man finished reciting the invocations the circle began to glow with a crimson light, the ritual seemed to have worked. The man sighed in relief, he had caught that creature's attention, and now all he had to do was call him.

"Servant of Evil, Messenger of Demon Kings, Leader of the Sand Demon Legions, Ninth Prince of the Western Kingdom. Zanar, I ask you to come now!" The man shouted at the top of his voice.

Suddenly, violet flames appeared from the center of the magic circle. The room was shaking so badly as if there was an earthquake. A few seconds later, the flames disappeared and the room stopped shaking, a terrifying-looking creature whose features were hard to describe, but we could tell it was wearing a lot of bone armor stained with blood and pieces of rotting flesh.

One of the terms of the agreement between God and Lucifer is that demons are forbidden to show themselves before humans, but with regard to people who practice black magic... the matter will be completely different. People who practice black magic are people who have voluntarily chosen to defy God and be immortal in Hell.



"27 children, 39 women. An ideal sacrifice worthy of only kings." This terrifying creature spoke before looking at the conjurer. "No doubt you need me badly, but tell me...what prevents me from killing you now, Hector kadagra?" Truth be told, his voice was more terrifying than his looks.

The charlatan smiled confidently. "I have been given a very important task, Nahash-sama has given me permission to use all possible methods." Hector knew that Demon Zanar is a strong demon with a very fickle temperament and might kill the one who summoned him just for fun, but the thing demons fear most is the wrath of a demon stronger than them. If Zanar kills Hector, he will have spoiled Nahash's plans, so Nahash will never be happy about this happening. And when we say that Nahash will not be happy, we mean that Zanar will die in a brutal manner.

"I hope it is important." Zanar looked somewhat annoyed.

"Your job is going to be easy but it's very important to Nahash. You have to take possession of someone's body, if you don't succeed you can at least gather as much information as you can." Hector spoke.

"Is that why you summoned me?! Are you making fun of me?!?!" Zanar shouted so furiously that the place shook again. "A weak demon can do that!! Why me?!?!"

"Because the person you are going to take over his body is the same person who managed to kill Lich!"

"Oh really?" Zanar looked very surprised. He had definitely heard of the news of Lich's death, but he didn't know the killer's identity. "Who is he? And how do I find him?"

Hector smiled before bowing to the ground and showing something that was inside a black beanbag, Ulquiorra's arm!

When Garl and Ulquiorra fought for the first time, Ulquiorra arm was severed after receiving a blow from Garl's sword. After Hector's followers search the forest, they find the arm.

For some reason, Zanar felt a little anxious, he didn't know why but he sure had something to do with this arm.

"This is not a human arm. I'm sure of that." Zanar spoke in a serious tone.

"Not a human?"

"Yes, I don't need to use my eyes to know something like that."

"If it's not human, what is it?" Hector was starting to get curious, but at the same time, he was getting excited, as he would get some information and thus some reward.

"I don't know. The owner of this arm looks like a human, but it's definitely not human. What's his name?" Zanar asked curiously.

"Ulquiorra Schiffer." Hector answered.

"Its name is similar to human names. It must be a hybrid." Flames started to wrap around Zanar's body. "I'll take some of my men with me, my intuition tells me to be careful." Then Zanar disappeared.

Hector closed his eyes and smiled mischievously, apparently beginning to wonder what kind of rewards he would receive from Nahash.

« Fairy Tail Guild Headquarters»

This was one of the rare times when the guild was in a state of relative calm, perhaps because Ulquiorra was in the guild, or perhaps because Natsu went out to find Ulquiorra and had him fight him again.

Natsu didn't know that Ulquiorra came to the guild only two minutes later, if Natsu had waited a bit, he would have been able to meet Ulquiorra. What a foolish boy.

Ulquiorra was sitting at a table far from the others, reading a thick book. Ulquiorra finished reading another book, there were seven thick books in front of him, Ulquiorra could not come to a good conclusion. He had read many books in order to be able to understand the nature of the heart or the basics of magic, but he failed to understand both.

"You look very busy."

Ulquiorra looked at Makarov who was sitting at the table. It seemed that Ulquiorra was so busy that he didn't notice the guild master's coming.

"I see you're trying to understand the nature of both heart and magic together. Hahahahahahaha." Makarov laughed before drinking a large glass of beer.

"I don't understand why you find it funny." Ulquiorra spoke.

"The heart and magic are connected to each other. Like life and death, light and darkness, good and evil. If one side is absent, it will lead to the demise of the other." Makarov spoke softly.

"I'm afraid I don't understand you. Perhaps some explanation would be good." Ulquiorra replied. He didn't mind having a conversation with a veteran magician like Makarov, after all, maybe he could get some answers.

"Before being a wizard one has to have a heart. Willpower, feelings, patience… all are things that strengthen the heart of a wizard and thus increase the power of his magic. You have to believe that magic exists and believe in your strength, if you can do these two things you will be able to use true magic ."

"But I know magic exists, my senses can sense and absorb magic energy. As for my own strength, I'm sure I'm very strong. However, I haven't been able to use magic." Ulquiorra didn't know what the problem was, he managed to do both things but it didn't get any results.

"Maybe I should say it again, the existence of magic depends on the presence of the heart." Makarov sighed, he was aware of Ulquiorra's problem with emotions. "You only use your mind. You know magic exists but you don't believe in it, you trust in your strength but you don't believe in it, foreknowledge and belief are two different things. Having a mind is essential and this is indisputable, but having a heart is also necessary for balance, But you're nothing but a being made of pure logic. That's why you're not able to use magic. right now."

Makarov has captured Ulquiorra's attention, but this has caused new unresolved questions to arise. Why bother learning magic if he doesn't have a heart? Does this mean that someone like him should never use magic? What is the thing that distinguishes the heart from the mind? However, Makarov became the fourth human honored by Ulquiorra. But that didn't stop Ulquiorra from asking another question.

"I said a little while ago that the heart is the way that I can use true magic. Do you mean that there are other types of magic?"

"Yes. Black magic, lost magic, lacrima, and many more." Makarov replied.

"What is the difference between true magic and other types of magic?"

"True magic comes from the heart and is unlimited, that's why it's considered true magic. As for the rest of the magic, you just need to follow simple instructions." Makarov spoke softly with a hint of annoyance in his voice, it was not hidden from Ulquiorra.

"So you don't recognize the existence of magic other than heart magic?" Ulquiorra asked with a little curiosity.

"Not exactly. Practicing these kinds of magic makes the user get great power at once, but it makes his life endangered, as some simple mistakes can cause severe harm to the user or even death in a horrific way. In addition, evolution is something that is out of the question."

Ulquiorra remained silent, Ulquiorra was not opposed to what Makarov was saying.

Before and during the Winter War, it was Ichigo's heart that made him win over many powerful rivals; Byakuya, Zaraki, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Ulquiorra, .. even Aizen himself. Although these competitors had trained for years in order to hone their skills, Ichigo had only been discovering his spiritual powers for a year and a few months, yet he had always managed to win. Why?

the heart.

In the past, Ulquiorra would have been unable to find this answer. But he had seen the strength of the heart and personally experienced it. However, Ulquiorra still adheres to some of his principles and beliefs. After all, those principles and beliefs were the main reason for his survival and the formation of his character.

"You said that true magic grows stronger according to the emotions a magician has. What emotions strengthen true magic?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Anger, hate, sadness, hate,... but the strongest kind of emotion is love." Makarov answered confidently.

"love?" Ulquiorra said coldly.

"Yes, love is one of the most difficult concepts. It can be felt, but until now no one has come up with enough words to express it correctly."

"Nonsense…." Ulquiorra spoke so coldly that Makarov sensed some kind of killing intent in the air.

"what?"

"Love is a foolish emotion. It is never useful. It is better not to have feelings for anyone, or else your enemies will use your emotions to manipulate you." Makarov could sense a small hint of anger in Ulquiorra's voice. "If there is a correct definition of love, it is that love is just a false human concept, most likely invented by weak people unable to find their partners, or by women of limited thinking willing to find some justification for attraction to someone." Ulquiorra finished his words.

Makarov was surprised by what he heard. For someone as emotionless as Ulquiorra, anger was evident in his voice. Makarov knew very well how Ulquiorra lived as a Vasto lorde, but knew nothing when it came to Ulquiorra's life in Las Noches. He didn't understand exactly why Ulquiorra was angry, but he knew it was down to something that had happened in the past.

"Then why do you want to get a heart?" Makarov asked calmly.

"You asked the wrong question. I don't want to get a heart, I just want to understand the heart." Ulquiorra wasn't lying, he was just curious about the heart, but that didn't mean he wanted to get one.

"If trying to understand the heart is just curiosity, then what do you aspire to?"

"Emptiness." Ulquiorra answered before closing his eyes. His voice contained a little nostalgia and longing.

"Will you tell me why?" Makarov knew that everyone had their own lifestyle and philosophy, so he decided to learn more about Ulquiorra.

"The greatest benefit of having nothing is that one has nothing to lose. Without hope, one cannot be disappointed. Without friends, one cannot betray. Without a heart, you cannot feel pain. If emptiness is not true happiness, What could it be?" Ulkyura opened his eyes and looked at Makarov. "I want to live in the void because time makes me forget, the world makes me forget everything, even myself"

"That's scary..." Makarov muttered, looking in astonishment at Ulquiorra. Although he respected other people's opinions and ideas, that didn't mean that he didn't feel bad for Ulquiorra. For Ulquiorra, emptiness is the greatest happiness he's ever had. But for Makarov, emptiness is a slow death.

"Scary? What are you afraid of? If you are alone, there is no one to threaten your life; you do not have to answer to anyone; and most importantly, you will have no obligations imposed on you. How can this be scary?"

"That's why I can understand the benefits of being alone. But on the other hand, nobody else loves you or cares about you, helps you, protects you, makes you feel comfortable and safe. That's the scary part." Makarov replied. "I don't know how things work in your world, but we humans need feelings in order to progress and develop."

"Bullshit. There is no power in love; there are only soft fools who need to awaken from their own illusions. They are the easiest prey to pain and sorrow, so the sooner they realize the truth the less likely they are to suffer."

Makarov sighed in frustration. It doesn't look like it's going to work with Ulquiorra.

"Who hurt you so that you became what you are now?" Makarov asked. He was certain that Ulquiorra did not become like this on his own, rather there were external factors.

"everybody." Ulquiorra answered in a monotonous voice. "my king.." Aizen Sosuke's face remembered. "My friends..." he remembered the faces of Stark, Lillinette, Yammy, and Hallibel. 'Even my love..' Ulquiorra didn't say the last sentence because he didn't see any need to do so.

Makarov felt that he had to change the course of the conversation, otherwise it would not end well. Although Makarov wants to help Ulquiorra understand feelings, that never means that he wants to see Ulquiorra's wrath.

"By the way, why did the girls attack you?" Makarov tried to smoothen things out.

"Just a petty reason, I saw them naked."

Makarov's jaw fell to the ground and his eyes became as wide as saucers.

"Boahaahaha!!!" Makarov laughed so loudly that everyone in the building turned to Ulquiorra and Makarov. Ulquiorra was not comfortable with being the center of attention.

"Why are you laughing?" Ulquiorra asked in amazement.

"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting this answer…." Makarov wiped a tear from his eye and then put his hand on Ulquiorra's shoulder. "So how did you feel?" A perverted smile appeared on Makarov's face. There are dozens of men who wish to enter the women's bathroom, but most of them weren't brave enough to do so, after all, women are scary when they want to. So Makarov considers Ulquiorra to be one of the few brave men who slipped into the women's bathroom and came out alive.

"At first my heart started beating fast and my blood was fast in my veins.." Ulquiorra tried to describe what he was feeling. "But when they attacked me, I felt something different, maybe it was fear..."

'Even you got scared.' Makarov thought, chuckling.

(Author's note: Pssss. In chapter 2 Ulquiorra wasn't really afraid, it was just a comic scene. Like when Gray and Natsu get scared of Erza; Makarov and Erza; Erza and Ichiya. But don't worry, in the coming chapters it will be Ulquiorra is really scared. Muwahhaha!!!)

"As I said a while ago, they attacked me because of something trivial."

"You're right, that's not a good reason for them to attack you. It's a good reason for them to kill you." Makarov spoke, still smiling.

"what?"

Makarov sighed. Ulquiorra didn't seem to know much about the opposite sex.

"A man is a creature led by reason, while a woman is a creature led by emotions. Men will understand or not care if a similar situation happens to them, but for women it will be completely different. When a woman is in a bad mood, she will not wait for you to explain the reasons, but rather She will remove you or maybe even wipe you out of existence if possible."

Ulquiorra cannot deny what Makarov said. Ulquiorra has lived in Las Noches for about a hundred years and has observed the behavior of many females; Zoe, Lilinette, Hallibel, Hallibel's fraccion, Aizen's Whores (Loly and Menoly). The best example of this is what happened forty years ago, after Hallibel became one of the Espadas.

It had been a total of 3 weeks since Hallibel and her fraccion's joined Aizen's army. Hallibel had quarrels with Nnoitra and Baraggan. As for the rest of the males, they took every opportunity possible to try to seduce her and her fraccion's: the first Espada asked if it was also possible to nap with Hallibel, but he was struck on the head by Lilinette, who dragged him into his room. The Apacci was surrounded by Grimmjow, with the result that Grimmjow got a powerful kick between his legs, which resulted in him being unable to walk for several hours, and possibly also his inability to pass on his genes. Tesla was singing to sun-sung, and since Tesla's voice was awful (perhaps like Gajeel's) Sona threw him from outside Las Noches Castle but didn't kill him. As for Milla Rosa, she is constantly harassed by Baraggan's fraccions.

The only ones who weren't a nuisance were Ulquiorra Schiffer and Szayel Apollo Grans, but Hallibel soon discovers Szayel had installed a hidden security camera in her bathroom. No one knows what exactly happened, since as soon as Hallibel came out of Szayel's room, Szayel hadn't been out of his room for two whole years.

This made Ulquiorra become someone who could be said to be accepted by Hallibel and her fraccions. Ulquiorra wasn't looking at them in a lewd way, he wasn't aggressive like Grimmjow and Nnoitra, he wasn't killing others without having a good reason, and most of all, he wasn't a pervert. Although Ulquiorra and Hallibel rarely met, they respected each other. However, as gossip spread in Las Noches, rumors were about whether Ulquiorra and Hallibel were in love with each other. They don't seem to know the difference between love and respect.

Ulquiorra brushed those thoughts aside and then started to speak. "Do I understand from your words that they will not stop bothering me?"

"Of course! Women are creatures that don't forget those who abused them." Makarov kept his smile, making Ulquiorra slightly annoyed.

Abused? Women are truly illogical creatures. It is not as if he assaulted them or attacked them. As much as Ulquiorra wanted to correct what Makarov had said, he wanted to find a quick solution to this fruitless dispute.

"So what's your solution?" Normally, Ulquiorra would kill anyone who disturbed him. In fact, the only reason why both Grimmjow and Nnoitra survived was because they were important to Aizen, other than that Ulquiorra wouldn't hesitate to cut them to shreds. But now it is in a different world and there are different laws.

"First you have to apologize to them for what you did on that day, and then promise them that you will not do it again." Makarov replied.

" apologize?" Throughout his more than eight hundred years of life, he has never apologized. In fact, no one in Las Noches said the word 'sorry'.

Well, except for the weak, who were begging not to be killed.

"Yes. It won't solve everything, but if you tell the person you've offended that you're sorry, it will help that person start to feel better." Makarov smiled as he pointed his finger at the three girls. "Try to apologize to them, you won't lose anything."

Truthfully, Ulquiorra needed to hear Murciélago's voice. Usually Murciélago would make a number of his sarcastic comments, but today he has been unusually calm. Despite the inconvenience Murciélago caused, his presence was rather helpful.

'Murciélago. What makes you become silent?' Ulquiorra wasn't really interested, after all, this wasn't the first time Murciélago had been silent. Anyway, all Ulquiorra wanted was to apologize and then get back to his normal life.

When Ulquiorra arrived at the table for the three girls, all eyes were on him.

"U-Ulquiorra..." Bisca stuttered.

"Wh-what do you want?" Laki spoke. It seemed that she was still afraid of Ulquiorra.

"I want to apologize for what happened that day. It's just that I got in on you by mistake. No bad intentions." Ulquiorra seemed very sincere.

The three girls were surprised. They expected that he would mock them, after all, most powerful people like to brag.

"Your apology is accepted. After all, no man is stupid enough to suddenly appear among naked girls." A small smile appeared on Bisca's face.

"But if you do it again…." Laki spoke in a threatening tone. But she seems to have accepted his apology.

"This will not happen." Ulquiorra replied.

Ulquiorra looked at Cana, seeming to be waiting for her answer. But for Cana, the bottle of whiskey was more interesting than this conversation.

"what do you want?" Cana spoke rudely without looking at Ulquiorra, she seemed to be unable to see his face.

"I wanted to--"

"Apologize and ask for forgiveness? Don't worry about it, I'm not interested in your apology. Now get out of here."

"Cana!" Bisca shouted in a tone of reproach. Although she was still angry at Ulquiorra, but she would not refuse his apology in such a rude manner.

Ulquiorra remained standing in place. Although his face was devoid of any kind of emotion, his eyes were glowing with a faint green light. Everyone in the building got chills (except for Cana), both bisca and Laki were trembling, if Cana took her eyes off the whiskey bottle and looked at Ulquiorra, she too would shiver. After all, most powerful people never tolerate someone who has insulted them.

"What? Are you going to stand here like an idiot or are you leaving? Do you think I will be afraid of you?" Cana spoke without looking at Ulquiorra.

Fear and dread seized everyone's hearts after they heard what Kana had to say.

'Cana, you dig your own grave.' Makarov thought, his face turning pale. Although he was sure that Ulquiorra wouldn't kill Cana, that didn't mean that Ulquiorra wouldn't show a backlash.

For Ulquiorra, it was worse than talking to Murciélago, perhaps no worse than talking to Grimmjow but that didn't stop Ulquiorra from feeling a little upset. Ulquiorra sighed and turned around, ready to leave.

"Trash. I was the one who thought you were the smartest of them all. It seems my conclusion was wrong." Ulquiorra muttered faintly, but Cana seemed to have heard him.

"what do you say?!" Cana shouted.

Ulquiorra stopped walking and looked at Cana. "Makarov gave me information about women, but apparently he forgot to tell me about women who have no brains. Like you."

"You…" A pulsating vein appeared on Cana's forehead, an evil smile on her face. "Do you have words to say before your soul leaves this world?" Cana looked scary like Erza.

Usually, it was Cana who would tease and ridicule the others, but it seemed that Ulquiorra had made her taste her medicine.

"Last time, your arm and hands were broken. Are you sure you want to rematch?" Ulquiorra spoke coldly. His patience is running out.

Before Cana could answer, Makarov appeared between Cana and Ulquiorra.

"You two stop!" Makarov turned to Cana. "Cana, Ulquiorra just wanted to apologize, it's not polite for you to be so rude to him." Then he turned to Ulquiorra. "Ulquiorra, you're making things worse. Now shake hands and let this ridiculous quarrel end now."

"Like hell!! I will not forgive this pervert!" Cana shouted angrily before turning around.

"I don't understand why you are so upset. All I saw were unnecessary parts." Ulquiorra spoke in a monotonous voice.

'Unnecessary?' Hey?' A drop of sweat appeared on the heads of all the males.

[Ulquiorra, you are the dumbest guy I've ever seen in my entire life. There are hundreds of millions of men who are willing to die in order to see those "unnecessary" parts.😑😑😒]

'I've decided to finally show up..' Ulquiorra thought.

"Unnecessary?!?! What do you know about a woman's body?!" Cana cried angrily.

"The woman's body is fragile and weak, in addition to the fact that there are some swellings that are concentrated in certain areas." Ulquiorra answered simply. Ulquiorra knew a lot about human anatomy, but he didn't know much about the female body, so he made some of his hypotheses.

"Idiot..." Cana muttered.

Ulquiorra heard it but didn't care. "What is this thing, woman?" He asked pointing his finger to her chest.

Everyone in the guild stopped what they were doing, it seemed as if time had stopped. But after five seconds...

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh?!?!?!" Everyone shouted at once.

[Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Oh my God, I can't breathe! Hahahahahahahahaha!!! My stomach hurts me!!]

'Is he serious?' Makarov and Erza thought, with comical expressions on their faces. The two of them knew that Ulquiorra was not a human being, but they hadn't expected that Ulquiorra would ask such a question.

On the other hand, Cana was the most angry. She never imagined that a man would dare to ask such a question.

"You dick! How dare you?! You actually had the nerve to point at my breasts, you pervert!" Cana cried out in exasperation, her face as red as cherry. Usually, it is not easy for Cana to feel embarrassed, but this is one of the rare occurrences.

"Calm down, woman. Who said I was referring to your steak?" Ulkyura raised an eyebrow in astonishment. "I'm just curious about what you're wearing." Ulquiorra pointed a finger at what Cana was wearing on her chest.

"You're doing it again!!" Everyone shouted comically.

Cana's mouth opened to form an O, as she realized that his eyes did not have the lust that she used to see in most men's eyes. Everyone realized too late that he was looking at Cana as if one were looking at a new piece of furniture. Interested, curious but ultimately honest. Embarrassed by her exaggerated reaction, Cana looked at herself.

"This is a bra." Cana replied.

"Are these clothes popular with you?" Inquire Ulquiorra.

"Not really, these are underwear."

"underwear?" Ulquiorra spoke. It seemed that he really didn't know about these things. This indicated the astonishment of others, especially men.

"You know, what you wear under your clothes."

"But you don't wear it under your clothes."

"Everyone has their own style of dressing." Cana didn't know how they came to talk about underwear. But what Ulquiorra said raised some questions. "Aren't you wearing panties?"

"Eeeeehh?!" Everyone was surprised by Cana's boldness.

"no, why?" Ulquiorra answered simply.

"Eeeehhh?!" Everyone shouted again.

Ulquiorra ignored them and walked back to his seat. Ulquiorra did not understand why it was necessary to wear underwear. In Las Noches, no one wears underwear, except for the Three Traitors.

[Amigo, you must meet me in the inner world, now! There is something you should see.]

Ulquiorra noticed that Murciélago was speaking in a serious tone. Usually Murciélago was trying to drag Ulquiorra into the inner world in order to enjoy a good fight, after all, the inner world was a very boring place for Murciélago. But this is different.

Anyway, even if Murciélago didn't ask for it, Ulquiorra would have gone on his own.

Ulquiorra sat on his chair and put his Zanpakuto on the table then grabbed the Zanpakuto handle and closed his eyes.

«Ulquiorra's Inner World»

Once Ulquiorra appeared in the inner world, he did not need to use radar to know where Murciélago was. In fact, the place was swarming with the corpses of beings that looked very much like monsters.

Murciélago was sitting on top of the corpse of one of these creatures as he sneered at one of these monsters!

This monster was the only one left alive. He was laughing hysterically, clearly out of his mind, literally.

"Murciélago. What exactly happened?" Ulquiorra finally decided to break the silence.

"I'm not sure my answer will be good, but..."

Flashback: Half an hour ago

Murciélago was sitting near the beach throwing stones at the surface of the green sea. As usual, this world was pitch black.

For Murciélago, it was so boring that he'd rather live in Hell, at least have something to raise his adrenaline.

"Goddamn. Why do I have to live in this disgusting place?" Murciélago muttered indignantly before throwing more stones.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the sky that illuminated this world, it was as if the sun had risen. Murciélago did not know what had happened, but Murciélago knows well that there is no sun in this place; And of course, this light is not just a lump of energy, but this light from a living being!

'His energy is very strange, it's a mixture of magic energy and spiritual energy...' Murciélago could sense the energy of this intruder.

Murciélago rose to his feet and looked defiantly at the source of that light. "How did you come here? What brought you here?" Murciélago spoke in a cold tone of voice.

"Hmmm. That's weird. What is this creepy place?" A voice spoke in the middle of the light. It was obvious that the owner of this voice was an old man. Since Murciélago's eyes were not the same as human eyes, he could clearly see the body of that intruder; And truth be told, it was very huge. Murciélago did not know what he saw, but by what can be described, Murciélago can say that the creature hiding in the midst of the light is a cross with arms and two legs.

"Oi!!! I asked first!!!" Murciélago shouted angrily. He seems not in a good mood.

"Hmmm?" It seemed that the owner of this voice had finally acknowledged Murciélago's existence. "Never in my life have I seen such a fearsome creature as you. Who are you, little lizard?"

Thick veins appeared on Murciélago's forehead. "Small? Lizard? Huh?" He had a cruel smile on his face. Murciélago was not the type to forget an insult, nor was he the type to forgive easily.

Murciélago raised his right arm in the air and large amounts of green reiatsu began to gather in the palm of his hand. The place was shaking, the green sea was relatively choppy, and the wind was blowing wildly.

"What-what-what's going on here?!" The intruder looked very panicked.

The green reiatsu gathered in Murcielago's hand to become like a glowing green spear. "Lanza del Relámpago!"

Murciélago knew that this intruder was so weak that just using spiritual pressure would end this battle before it even began. In fact, this intruder seemed too weak to outsmart an ordinary human.

"What did you just do?" The intruder seemed confused and curious at the same time.

"Did you feel scared~? You haven't seen anything yet." Murciélago smiled sarcastically, but his face quickly changed to a serious frown. "Now, I hold in my hand enough strength to destroy a place three times larger than Magnolia town." Murciélago threw the green spear away, and seconds later, a large glowing green mountain made of pure spiritual energy appeared.

"Monster…." The intruder muttered as he stared at the explosion caused by the lightning spear.

"If I were you, I would never have thought of taking my eyes off the enemy."

The intruder quickly looked behind him to see Murciélago!

"when did you come?!?!" The intruder shouted in panic. Before the explosion, the distance between Murciélago and intruder was six kilometers.

On the other hand, Murciélago was able to take a better look at the intruder. A stone cross with arms and legs, in addition to the face of an old man. Murciélago did not know what kind of creature he was in front of him, but he would when he was questioning him.

Murciélago smiled, raised his arm, and landed a vertical blow on the intruder.

*Bam!!!*

The intruder fell hard on the sandy ground, many cracks appearing on his stone body. But there was something else that frightened the intruder, he was bleeding.

"I can't believe this man can actually kill me." The intruder muttered in a faint voice, it was clear that this was the first time he had seen his blood.

"Gomen.." Murciélago smiled as his neck and fists made cracking sounds. "I'm just not good at welcoming intruders. How about we start over?" His smile disappeared. "Who are you? How did you get here? And what brought you here?" Another spear appeared in his palm.

"I am a Celestial Spirit, my name is Crux! I am just doing my job!!" The intruder shouted in fright.

"Crux? Where did I hear that name?" Murciélago was sure he had heard that name before, but he didn't seem to remember it very well. "Anyway, why are you here?"

"I have been assigned to gather information on a person named Ulquiorra Schiffer. But it seems that I have entered this world by mistake." Crux replied. In fact, Crux didn't know he was in the right place!

"Who commissioned you? The Magic Council? The Golden Circle Council? The Balam Alliance?" Murciélago spoke firmly. It is to be expected that some people will attempt to obtain information in a variety of ways, but unfortunately for them, they seem not to know that Murciélago will be waiting for them.

"I can't tell you..."

A sly smile appeared on Murciélago's face. "Hoo~~. I think I have to resort to my own methods. After all, I'm good at getting information from others. You might die, but that doesn't matter."

"You wouldn't dare kill me!!" Crux shouted angrily.

Killing a celestial Spirit is a taboo! If a Celestial Spirit were to be killed, it would be a declaration of war on the Celestial world! As the King of Celestial Spirits would descend to Earth himself and would rise to punish the person who had killed the Celestial Spirit. It was precisely for this reason that the Celestial World participated in thirty percent of the wars that were taking place four hundred years ago.

Unfortunately, Murciélago does not seem to know anything about this.

Before Murciélago begins questioning the creature in front of him...

"Satanic Magic: Demonic Bombs!" shouted more than one voice. It appears to be a joint attack of more than ten people.

*boom!!*

Very strange and terrifying creatures appeared, it could be said that they were demons. Their number was fifteen demons.

"Oi. Where are we?" One of the demons spoke.

"I don't know, but we must finish quickly. This place is really creepy." Another demon spoke, uneasiness evident on him.

"Oh, insolence..."

All the demons turned towards the sound, the sound was coming from the same place Murciélago was standing!

The smoke dissipated due to a swift movement from the Murciélago wing, as it seemed that he had used his wings to protect himself from that attack.

"You dared to enter my house without my permission and attacked me for no reason. What would you say to defend yourselves?" Murciélago spoke coldly as he looked at the demons in a way that made them feel cold.

"Kill him!!!" One of the demons shouted.

Seven Demons charged towards Murciélago, their eyes radiating killing intent.

A frightful smile appeared on Murciélago's face. The demons made a really big mistake.

Murciélago disappeared from his place and then appeared standing behind the Seven Demons, his hand dripping with blood. At the same moment Murcielago disappeared, the heads of the seven demons fell and blood became freely flowing.

Seven demons died, but eight remained.

"Who is next?" Murciélago smiled while speaking in a terrifying voice.

The rest of the demons stood looking at Murciélago with fear.

'Monster.' All demons were thinking the same thing.

Without any hesitation, the demons ran away as fast as they could, as they managed to traverse a long distance, each one of them running in different directions. But they still feel that Murciélago is still staring at them.

"I love the cat and mouse game." Murciélago smiled before disappearing. He didn't get a chance to kill someone, but now.. it looks like Murciélago is having a lot of fun.

One of the demons was running while he heard the sound of his comrades screaming in terror, followed by the sound of tearing flesh and cracking bones. This demon knew that all demons were dead.

"Are you going somewhere~~~?"

Suddenly, Murciélago appeared before the last demon. Demon did not dare to move or speak. Murciélago grabbed the demon's neck and then lifted it slightly.

"You'll tell me everything you know." Murciélago spoke in a calm and frightening voice.

"*spit*." The Demon spat on Murciélago's face.

Murciélago had no anger, in fact, a wicked devilish smile appeared on his face.

"It's the wrong answer!!!"

End of flashback.

"And what about the Celestial Spirit? Where did he go?" Ulquiorra spoke. Ulquiorra didn't need to know what kind of method Murciélago used to interrogate this demon. Sometimes it's better if some questions remain unanswered.

"He disappeared after being attacked by demons. Cheh, I intended to kill him." Murciélago looked annoyed.

"Do you know that with that deed you almost plunged me into a war between me and the Celestial world?" Ulquiorra spoke coldly but there seemed to be a slight hint of anger.

"Oh really?" Murciélago looked surprised but quickly smiled sarcastically and looked at the mad demon. "It doesn't matter, I didn't kill him so you don't have to worry."

"What did you come up with?"

"As for the Celestial Spirit, I don't know. As for the demons…" Murciélago sighed, a serious look on his face. "We are threatened by the Demon World. Garl was right, it doesn't look like Lich's death will pass easily."

"You haven't answered my question yet, what were these demons doing?"

"These demons have come to take possession of your body, they have tried to do it by controlling your mind, but they don't know that it has to pass through the inner world." Murciélago replied.

"Who sent them? I don't think that these weaklings were able on their own to enter the inner world." Ulquiorra spoke.

"Zanar and Hector..." Murciélago replied.

"Who?"

"Zanar, the Ninth Prince of the Western Kingdom. Hector kadagra, a human sorcerer. I don't know much about them, but I am sure that Garl will be of help—." Murciélago stopped speaking when he saw the corpses of demons disappear, as well as the demon who had lost his mind.

Ulquiorra and Murciélago were able to conclude that the actor had regained his followers.

"I'll call Garl." Ulquiorra spoke without looking at Murciélago.

"whatever." Murciélago answered indifferently. "Ulquiorra..."

"Hm?"

"I found out why we were so angry when we were in Saint Asteria Village." Murciélago replied.

"what?" Although Ulquiorra's face was devoid of emotion, Ulquiorra wanted to know the answer.

"When I saw these demons I felt the same anger that we felt when I faced Lich, whatever we felt was because we were near a demon. I can say that there is a certain interaction that takes place when hollows and demons meet."

The conclusion he made may not be entirely correct, but that does not mean that what he said did not make sense.

«The real world»

Ulquiorra opened his eyes, everyone was looking at him in astonishment. Ulquiorra didn't know why everyone looked at him like that, but he soon sensed that something was wrong. He felt his clothes were wet and he smelled of beer.

"You finally woke up." Someone said in a sarcastic tone.

Ulquiorra knew very well the owner of this voice, Ulquiorra looked back to see Laxus Dreyar. Laxus had poured a beer cup over Ulquiorra's head.

[I told you, you should have let me kill him.]

'Murciélago... break his arm but don't kill him.' Ulquiorra thought before throwing his Zanpakuto at Laxus' face.

[Yes sir! 😈😉]

With an involuntary movement Laxus grabbed the Zanpakuto, but he forgot two important things. First, no one should touch this Zanpakuto, except for Ulquiorra. Second, Murciélago is still angry with Laxus.

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

As soon as Laxus grasped the Zanpakuto, he felt that every bone in his arm had been broken.

"Ahhh!!!!!" Laxus cried out in pain. But he soon fainted after being hit in the neck by a quick blow, the culprit being Ulquiorra.

After Ulquiorra picked up his Zanpakuto, he took out a packet of money from his pocket and placed the money on Laxus' chest. "I think that's enough to pay for the hospital." Ulquiorra spoke before quietly walking towards the door.

It all happened quickly; Except for Makarov, no one could believe that someone like Laxus had lost in such a humiliating way. As for Erza, she was more suspicious than before.

Erza vanished and appeared in front of Ulquiorra while her sword was near Ulquiorra's neck. Ulquiorra's face remained devoid of any kind of emotion.

"Do you think you're going to leave like this?" Erza spoke firmly. Erza doesn't care much about Laxus, but Laxus remains a member of the Fairy Tail Guild. Plus, since Ulquiorra today breaks Laxus' arm, in the near future he will kill everyone he doesn't like. After all, Erza had noticed that Ulquiorra had never regretted what he had done.

Suddenly, Erza felt the pressure being produced by Ulquiorra's body.

"Woman, I have no reason to attack you.." Ulquiorra spoke before placing his hand on the sharp sword and then pressing it down. "So I advise you not to give me that reason." The sword shattered due to the pressure of Ulquiorra's fist.

Ulquiorra walked without Erza stopping him, Erza remained standing still, motionless. As much as she hated to admit it, she had never felt more afraid in her life than now.

Erza looked at Makarov as if admonishing him. Makarov could only sigh in frustration, Makarov would be lying if he said he did not expect this to happen. Ulquiorra wasn't making things easy, plus the others didn't stop teasing him.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

«In Magnolia»

After Ulquiorra returns home, he takes out the lacrima that he had taken from Garl. After the magical properties were activated, a hologram of the same man who had given him the lacrima was revealed.

"Hi, I haven't seen you in a while." Garl spoke in a cheerful voice.

"Garl, you were right, they've already started." Ulquiorra spoke directly. It was such an emergency that there was no time to say hello and so on. In addition, Ulquiorra does not have enough social skills.

On the other hand, Garl's face became serious. "That's to be expected..." Garl muttered. "What exactly happened?"

"Some demons tried to take over my body, but they died." Ulquiorra replied, there was no need to go into details.

"I get it. Did you come up with something about them?"

"Not much. But it seems to have something to do with a sorcerer named Hector Kadagra and a demon called Zanar..." answered Ulquiorra.

"Hector?!?! Zanar?!?!" Garl shouted in horror. He seems to know these names well. "Ulquiorra. You should be careful from this moment on. You are now facing a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said you would face beings that are the embodiment of pure evil!"

"Didn't you say a while ago that demons couldn't go to the human world?" Ulquiorra spoke softly. He didn't understand why Garl was worried.

"I have said that demons cannot appear before human. When a man sees a demon, that demon cannot return to his world because he has breached a clause of the treaty. But you, you are not human, so do not be surprised if a demon appears before you." Garl replied.

The Hollows are not mentioned in the treaty, so Ulquiorra can be said to be in danger.

"I don't know what the demons are planning to do. Zanar is a demon Prince, and he is very powerful. But he was the first demon to be summoned, so it is likely that more powerful demons will be summoned. For now, you should be careful. Now, this lacrima It has a sensor feature, if there is a demon near you, this lacrima will glow red. But if the lacrima glows purple, make sure that there is a very very evil demon who wants to harm you." Garl spoke in a worried voice.

"Is that all?" Ulquiorra asked.

"I am confident in your strength. But if you encounter a difficult problem, do not hesitate to ask me for help. May God protect you." Garl spoke before he ended the call.

Ulquiorra put the lacrima on the table, then walked towards the window and looked at the crescent moon in the sky.

"Who would have imagined that an one mission would cause me so much trouble?" Ulquiorra wasn't talking to anyone. Talking to yourself can sometimes be helpful.

"By the way, maybe I should start wearing underwear..."

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

«the Demon world, dis city»

The four Kings sat in their usual places. Although it was about Nahash, the rest of the kings were curious.

"Did you find anything new about that Ulquiorra?" Nahash was talking to Hector through the crystal ball.

"Okay..." Hector looked somewhat nervous.

"What is the matter?" Nahash asked.

"Maybe you should see for yourself."

A red magic circle appeared in the middle of the hall. When the magic circle disappeared, something unexpected appeared, a demon who had disappeared from the inner world. He was laughing hysterically, his body was riddled with wounds and most of his bones were shattered. All in all, it seemed as if this demon had seen the bottom of Hell.

"what the hell?" Karkarov thought out loud.

The kings stared in disbelief. The Demon kings had heard that there were some demons who had become psychopaths, but they had not seen it with their own eyes.

Demons have a mental equilibrium that far exceeds that of humans, so whatever happened to this demon, it was monstrous beyond description.

"Hector Kadagra. What does this mean?" Nahash was the first person to let out his stupor. Although his face did not show any kind of emotion, he was feeling a little anxious.

For Hector, he told kings all he knew, though he, too, knew nothing of what had happened in the inner world.

"So then." Nahash spoke before he rose from his throne. "So it looks like ulquiorra wasn't human in the first place." Nahash walked towards the mad demon.

"A-Yes. I summoned Zanar, but it seems that he underestimated the task and only sent a group of his followers." Hector answered.

Nahash did not utter a word, Nahash closed his eyes before placing his hand on demon's head. The Demon stopped laughing and started trembling, after one minute the Demon was screaming in excruciating pain while white foam was coming out of his mouth but the color of the foam had changed to become red because of the internal bleeding the Demon had. Nahash seems to be practicing witchcraft, evil and brutal to the extreme.

"I understand now." Nahash mumbled. At this moment, the Crazy Demon's body exploded into disgusting little shreds.

Nahash used magic to gather information, but this magic seems to have terrifying side effects. On the other hand, Nahash was able to learn everything that happened within the inner world.

"Oh, Nahash…" Karkarov spoke confused.

Nahash ignored his brother and looked at the crystal ball. "Hector. Do you still have that arm?"

"Yes..." Hector replied.

"Bring it to me."

A magic circle appeared and then disappeared to reveal the severed arm. At this moment, the severed arm became glowing with a green light. None of those present did anything to make this arm glow like that, in fact, that arm seemed to have glowed on its own.

At the same moment, a great group of clouds began to form, one after another, and from all directions; It seemed as if all the clouds in the world had gathered above Dis City. Dis City was shaking wildly, the roar of thunder was like the roar of great beasts, all the beasts in the Demon World were roaring angrily.

It seemed as if the world was going crazy and outraged!

«Demon World, Everywhere»

(Adrian von Ziegler: dark music - Nocturnus)

What happened in Dis City had happened all over the Demon World. Most of the demons were looking at the sky, not understanding exactly why.

Of course, this caught the attention of all the Hell Generals and the Seven Princes of Hell.

The generals came out of their palaces, some of them used their wings to fly up into the sky in order to get a better understanding of what was going on, while others used their magical powers to make their bodies float high.

"What happened here!?" One of the generals spoke angrily.

"The Demon World has suddenly gone crazy!" Another general spoke.

While the generals were arguing, the Seven Princes of Hell still sat on their thrones. None of them left, they were looking intently at the sky, except for Lucifer who kept his eyes closed, they seemed to know the cause of the chaos.

Since Lucifer was the one who created this world, he knew very well why it was happening. The world of demons is a profane world that contains only dark creatures and unclean energy. Many dark matter and elements were used to create this world.

So Lucifer knows the full answer.

"There is only one thing that can cause this world to become unbalanced...." Lucifer opened his eyes and looked at the horizon. "Holy Powers."

Unlike all the generals and the rest of the Princes of Hell, Lucifer was the only one who didn't look up at the sky. He was looking on the horizon for the thing that caused this mess.

And when he finds it, he will destroy it.

«Demon World, Dis City»

"Holy powers!?!? All the Kings shouted at the same time.

At first Nahash was suspicious, but it seems that all his doubts have been removed.

'Just the mere appearance of this arm caused the world to get angry. It seems as if the world is asking this arm to go...' Nahash thought as he looked up at the sky. This seemed to be the first time he had seen the wrath of the Demon World.

'According to ancient legends; Almost a million years ago, there was no such thing as a demon World. Demons lived under the sunlight; In fact, many planets were teeming with demons. But everything changed after the Third Eternal War ended; Many planets were destroyed while the rest of the planets became unfit for life, plus there were many races that wanted to exterminate demons. Hence Lucifer began to create a world in which he could build his own dark kingdom.'

Then Nahash looked at the severed arm, that arm was glowing wildly. 'The presence of sacred powers has always meant the existence of sacred beings, and the presence of sacred beings within the Demon World has meant a fierce battle. It had happened five times, but no one knew exactly what had happened in those five times, except for the Seven Princes of Hell. Of course, the princes were secretive about this matter.'

"This aura... is sacred but not as sacred as the aura of angels and saints, it is dark but not as dark as the aura of demons. It is similar to the aura of fallen angels, but purer." Nahash spoke with a serious expression on his face.

Nahash sends that arm to Hector and then destroys the crystal ball. After a single second, the Demon World suddenly became quiet as if the noise had never existed.

If Nahash had not done so, Lucifer would have exposed them and kill them in the same instant. Although there are thousands of kilometers between the palace of Lucifer and the city of Dis, Lucifer can kill them without rising from his throne; In fact, one look at it is enough to carry out the desired.

What Nahash doesn't know is that if he had been a few seconds late... he and everyone else in the palace would have died.

(end of music)

The Demon kings looked at each other before Agni began to speak.

"This man is more mysterious than we imagined..."

"You're right. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life." Karkarov spoke awkwardly.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Everyone looked at Nahash. Nahash was angry and confused at the same time, it seemed that he knew something that other kings did not know.

"He's not from Earthland."

All kings were shocked, Nahash was not the type to say questionable information. If Nahash says something, he's 100% sure of what he's saying.

Ever since the Infinite Wars began, Nahash has become interested in learning everything about the world of Earthland; Earthland history, edolas, geography, creatures and races that inhabit this world. No one knows the details of the world of Earthland better than Nahash!

Nahash was quite sure that Ulquiorra was not from Earthland, because he knew all kinds of creatures that lived in Earthland. And Ulquiorra wasn't one of those creatures.

Nahash did not know how Ulquiorra had reached Earthland. He knows the existence of the multiverse, and has heard rumors that there are creatures that have been able to go to different universes, but he never imagined that he would find one of these creatures in Earthland. Especially since this creature has a connection to sacred entities.

"Nahash... what do you suggest we do?" Citra spoke. Nahash was the smartest among them, so it will be up to him.

"There are only three options..." Nahash spoke as he looked at his brothers.

The kings looked intently at their brother, they knew that Nahash wanted them to listen carefully.

"The first option, get him to join us. Even if that means making him one of the Demon kings…"

The rest of the kings nodded their heads. The best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend. Plus, Lucifer wouldn't mind a sacred entity joining the ranks of demons, in fact, before Lucifer became a Devil, he was one of the archangels.

"The second option, if he refuses to join us, we will try to persuade him to return to his world."

Although the kings were not satisfied with this, they would have liked to eliminate Ulquiorra, but they understood their brother's position. Ulquiorra may not be alone, perhaps he is part of an unidentified group. After all, a single person rarely travels between universes, so their death may have some consequences.

Even if Ulquiorra was lonely, this did not mean that his race would not avenge him, as history has shown that killing a sacred creature could be a declaration of war. This has happened so many times, some of these creatures were ridiculously weak..

But some creatures were so powerful that Lucifer himself intervened to end the war; Truth be told, they suffered a lot of heavy losses. This angered Lucifer to the extreme, after all, the demons had not yet recovered from the damages of the Third Eternal War, the demons could not bear to be a party to another meaningless war.

In both cases, whoever caused these wars was executed.

"The third and final option, we will not attack him unless he interferes in our affairs. Until further notice, these are our options for now." Nahash spoke.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

«In the Human World, Magnolia, Lucy's House»

Walking back home, she seemed to be busy thinking about something only God knows.

When she got home she noticed a red-haired woman standing by the door with a resolute expression on her face.

"Erza?" Lucy was surprised when she saw Titania. 'She must be here for her order.'

"Lucy... have you come up with something?" Erza spoke.

Lucy nodded, "Nothing. I summoned Crux, but a minute later he begged me to take him back to the Celestial World. It seems he saw something that frightened him greatly."

"Damn it." Erza muttered.

"Looks like that pale man will only speak when he wants to.." Lucy spoke but paused when she saw Erza draw her sword. "E-Erza... what are you going to do?" Lucy was scared.

"I will try to get the information in a peaceful way. But if I run out of options... I will make him regret the day he was born." Erza spoke with a dark expression on her face.

"Erza. I don't think that's a good idea." Lucy didn't want to say that Ulquiorra was stronger than Erza, for fear of Erza's reaction. And at the same time, she didn't want her friend to get hurt.

Erza did not reply, but turned towards the guild and then started walking.

"Sorry to bother you, good night." Erza spoke as she slowly walked away.

"good night!" Lucy shouted before entering her apartment.

Normally Lucy would have found Natsu, Gray, or even the entire Natsu team, but this time it seemed like there was no one in her apartment.

Lucy tried to make sure her apartment was empty. Indeed, there was no one inside the apartment. Lucy went to the bathroom to take a shower, after all, she was sure no one would disturb her peace.

Lucy removed her clothes and then turned on the music device.

'Aaaaah~, that's a great feeling~~.' Lucy thought as she felt the hot water clean her body. Then she started singing along to the music.

«Magnolia, in front of Lucy's apartment»

While Lucy was bathing, someone was knocking on her apartment door. This person is Ryos!!

"Damn 💢💢💢💢.." Ryos muttered angrily as he knocked on the door so hard that the door was about to break. He had been knocking on the door for ten minutes, but he had received no answer.

Ryos had been looking all day for someone who belonged to Fairy Tail, and since he was not communicating with people, he found nothing. But he heard that there is a group consisting of Fairy Tail wizards, Team Natsu!

He's also heard that these wizards congregate in one place, Lucy's apartment. That's why Ryos was standing in front of Lucy's apartment.

"its enough!" Ryos spoke angrily, turned into a shadow and ran smoothly into the apartment. "Show yourself now!" Ryos wanted it to be over quickly.

But no one showed up.

Ryos heard the sound of music coming from somewhere, Ryos enhanced his senses, after all, dragon slayers have better senses than normal humans. His face turned a little red, he smelled the scent of shampoo and soap, and he heard the singing of a girl. This means two things; First, he snuck into a girl's apartment. Two, this girl is taking a shower now.

Although he wants to get his work done ASAP, that doesn't mean he's going to break the door and pull the girl by her hair.

Ryos sighed in annoyance, Ryos could have left the message in the apartment and left, but Juvia assures he has to make sure it work. He has no choice but to wait for Lucy to finish taking a shower.

Ryos lay on the couch. Ryos was so relieved, after all, he had spent ten hours searching.

*roar!*

"What is that?!" Ryos shouted in horror.

*roar!*

Ryos looked down, it was his stomach making that sound.

"I hope there's something good inside the refrigerator."

Ryos walked quietly toward the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and was surprised to find, in his view, nothing edible.

"Rice. Fruit. Salad. Puff, unhealthy food -_- ." said Ryos as he checked the contents of the refrigerator.

Ryos sighed before closing the refrigerator door, but his nose soon caught the smell of something, a delicious scent. Ryos looked at the source of the smell, and the smell was coming from a white, square box that was placed on top of the table.

Ryos stepped forward and opened the box, he saw something that made him drool. Apple cake!

"It seems that the gods love me very much today." Ryos smiled before starting to eat the cake. "Delicious ~~~~~"

After Ryos finished eating the cake, he lay back on the couch again, but the waiting time seemed to be over. Ryos heard the sound of Lucy's room door opening.

"Aaaaaah~~~! What a great feeling." Lucy said as she walked out of her room.

"Finally." Ryos spoke before looking at Lucy. It seemed that Lucy had heard Ryos' voice.

The two of them looked at each other, but they seemed to have seen something unexpected. Lucy wasn't expecting anyone in her apartment, which is why she didn't wear any clothes. On the other hand, Ryos' face was just as red as a tomato, Lucy was only wearing a towel. Ryos had never seen a half-naked woman.

"Uh… I… l…" Ryos was speechless.

"What the hell are you doing here?!?!?!" Lucy shouted angrily, her face as red as cherry.

As if God wanted to make things worse, Lucy's towel fell off. Blood started to flow from Ryos' nose.

"Kiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa / aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!" Everyone in Magnolia had heard Lucy and Ryos screaming.

Lucy quickly tried to put her towel on. At the same time, Ryos felt that he was going to pass out due to lack of blood, so he placed the letter on the table that was in front of the sofa, then turned into a shadow before escaping from the window.

"Pervert!!!" Lucy shouted angrily. She now knows what Kana was feeling.

Lucy noticed that there was a message on the table, it didn't take a genius for Lucy to know that it was Ryos who left this message. Lucy tried to open the letter but felt a slight electric shock. It seems that the only person who can open this message is Makarov!

"What's wrong with this thing? Perhaps the master can tell what this message is..." Lucy murmured as she walked toward the kitchen. "Anyway, apple cake will improve my mood.. what 0_0?!?!?!" Lucy exclaimed in horror when she saw that her cake was gone. "That brat ate my cake too T_T!"

It's been a long night for Lucy... and Ryos.

############################

yooooossshhh!!! it has been a long time.

I am sorry for my late.
