Following this, Zeref gave Elefseria a very high evaluation.
"Thank you for your high praise."
"By the way, my current identity is also the Regent of the Alvarez Empire."
"At the same time, I was personally recruited by His Majesty, the great Emperor Spriggan of the Alvarez Empire…"
Elefseria smiled and calmly stated his identity.
"So…"
"You were all personally recruited by Emperor Spriggan of the Alvarez Empire from all over the world to the West Continent Alakitasia?!"
Zeref said, his brows furrowed tightly, and disbelief in his eyes.
That's right, the Emperor Spriggan of the Empire these people spoke of, was none other than himself.
"That's right!"
Elefseria and Selene exchanged glances, then calmly stated.
"Nonsense!"
"Although I am very grateful to that Mage who brought such powerful individuals like yourselves into my Alvarez Empire!"
"But there's one thing I must make clear to you…"
"I am the Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, I am Emperor Spriggan!!"
Zeref was so furious his lungs were about to explode. He was Spriggan, wasn't he?!
"…"
As Zeref's words fell, the expected sounds of agreement did not ring out.
Even Larcade Dragneel, who claimed to be Zeref's son, and 'Death God' Bradman, who had absolute loyalty to Zeref, both bowed their heads, seemingly lost in thought.
"Master, I am truly sorry…"
"Master August, he can use Ice Devil Slayer Magic…"
"If I and you were to resist Master August together, we would truly die."
"And we would be instantly killed!"
"No! To be precise, we would be blown to death by the aftershocks."
Although Bradman was fearless of death and a true warmonger…
He was not someone who sought death!
Facing an absolutely unbeatable opponent, Bradman felt no despair of battle in his heart.
"Father, though I don't wish to speak much…"
"But August, this guy, is over eighty years old and still a virgin."
"I am truly powerless to resist."
Larcade lowered his head, feeling quite helpless.
To be honest, he didn't really care about Irene, Selene, or Medivh.
After all, in front of his abilities, these three would fall instantly…
But his abilities were useless against August; in front of August, he was as fragile as a toddler just learning to walk.
At this moment, facing the forced situation, Larcade had no choice but to bow his head.
"Zeref, are you mistaken about something?!"
Just as Zeref was at a loss…
Irene, in a lazy tone, said to Zeref: "The Emperor of the Empire has never left the Empire; he stands before you right now! In front of the great Emperor Spriggan of the Empire, what nerve do you have to impersonate His Majesty?!"
"What?!"
Zeref was stunned. He had seen shameless people…
But he had never seen anyone as shameless as Irene!
You should know, he was still alive!
He was standing right here!
This woman in front of him actually denied his identity as Emperor just like that?!
"Where is the Emperor Spriggan you speak of?"
Zeref was a little annoyed. He looked at Irene and asked.
"The Emperor Spriggan of the Alvarez Empire is none other than myself!!"
The moment Zeref's words had just fallen…
Medivh stepped out from the crowd. He swaggered to Zeref's front, looked down at Zeref and said, "Black Wizard Zeref, I acknowledge your great strength and your indelible and outstanding contributions to the advancement of magic in the Earth-land World!"
"Therefore, I specially invite you to visit the Alvarez Empire and serve as my Regent! Do you agree?!"
"Given that you have lived for four hundred years and been plagued by the ankhseram god's curse for four hundred years, your mind is sometimes unclear. I will pretend I did not hear everything you said before and give you a chance to amend your ways. Are you satisfied?!"
Medivh was completely in character now. He looked coldly at Zeref and asked in a cold voice.
"No…"
Upon hearing this, Zeref was completely stunned.
Zeref had just said he had never seen anyone as shameless as Irene!
Now, Zeref saw another one…
No, to be precise, this guy who claimed to be Emperor Spriggan was even more excessive than Irene! He actually brazenly said he wanted to recruit him to be the Empire's Regent?!
This was his Empire, wasn't it?!
"How dare you steal my identity right to my face?!"
"I am the Emperor of the Alvarez Empire…"
"I am the fallen and ugly Fairy Spriggan…"
"How can you even take this title from me?!"
At this moment, Zeref was truly furious; he wished he could go berserk on the spot.
But Medivh had a gentle smile on his face…
A furious Zeref posed no threat to Medivh.
The more furious Zeref was, the more stable the ankhseram god's curse on him became.
The ankhseram god's curse was originally meant to torment and punish Zeref.
All those Zeref loved would have their lives taken by the curse…
All those Zeref hated would not be harmed in the slightest by the curse.
It seemed the ankhseram god wished for Zeref's enemies to live long lives.
Therefore, when Medivh saw Zeref's extreme anger, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a chuckle, "Look, everyone, come quickly and look! He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious! He's really getting anxious! Zeref, this guy, is truly desperate now."
"Hey! You brat impersonating me, do you know who I am exactly?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Zeref's eyes. He looked at Medivh and asked coldly.
"I know! You are Black Wizard Zeref."
"You are also the creator of demons…"
"One of the founders of the Alvarez Empire!"
"Also, the planner of the Eclipse Gate project…"
"One of the creators of the invincible 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia."
"Clearly, I know your identity even better than you imagine."
Medivh calmly answered Zeref's question.
Nonsense, he had already revealed Zeref's identity before…
How could he not know Zeref's identity?!
Clearly, Zeref, this guy, was really blinded by anger…
"Then you…"
Zeref's expression froze. He seemed not to have expected Medivh to reveal his identity so calmly, and many of those identities were secrets.
"Then do you know who I am?"
Then, Medivh gave Zeref no chance to speak further. He looked at Zeref and asked.
"Uh…"
Zeref was bewildered by Medivh's question. He indeed did not know who Medivh was.
"I don't know who you are."
So, Zeref could only size Medivh up and down, then silently shook his head.
"I am a Mage from the Fairy Tail Guild!"
"Please allow me to greet you on behalf of the first master of our Fairy Tail Guild, and also your esteemed disciple, Mavis Vermillion."
"Everything we lost, we will take back, one by one!"
Medivh smiled. He strode to Zeref's front, leaned close to Zeref's ear, and in a voice only he and Zeref could hear, accompanied by his hoarse yet magnetic voice, he spoke softly.
"What did you say?"
After Zeref heard the words Fairy Tail, his eyes surprisingly gained a rare clarity. All the previous anger and gloom were swept away.
Indeed, at this moment, Zeref's eyes were as clear as a university student who had just entered the school gates.
