A Gamer's Grand Journey ReMix

by Side-man

Waking up in a white room instead of your bedroom is not normal, hearing a voice in your head is not normal. But being chosen to be a Gamer is something that I'm all in for. Now all I have to do is not abuse this power- oh who am I kidding? I'm going to break the universe in two with this. Grey SI/OC. Occasional lemons.

---

It's been a pretty eventful week.

After Aldoron was defeated, the Guiltinan military quickly moved in and pretty much took control of the situation. We were moved to a tiny town called Drameel, a military outpost built by the government for the specific purpose of monitoring Aldoron, which would explain how they were able to organize an attack so fast. When we arrived in Drameel, we were each interrogated for the unknown energy surge that was causing unnatural phenomena across the country. We all pretended not to know and assumed that it was part of some destructive ploy by the Wood Dragon God. The military bought our lie and allowed us to stay and recover while they secured the dragon's body, likely to use it as a weapon against the other dragons.

After that whole mess, I began to explain to the guild in detail what [Aura] and [Semblances] were as well as how they got to Drasil in the first place.

Needless to say, the guild was completely dumbstruck.

When they asked why some of them unlocked [Semblances] and others didn't, I explained it had to do with the situation as [Semblances] can be unlocked during strong physical or emotional events, which in their case was fighting the God Seeds, but most of the time they're unlocked through training. I also explained how [Semblances] are based on a person's character and that even when you think you know yourself, the power you may get might be completely different than what you believed it would be. I also had to hammer down the difference between [Aura] and [Magic] since they pull from different sources of power.

It was funny seeing some of them try to force their [Semblances] out and ended up farting in the end.

Though the fun ended quickly when the smell got to my nostrils.

I explained the chant to Makarov and told him not to share it with anyone since, unlike magic, anyone can have [Aura].

"I understand. I wouldn't want any Dark Guilds getting a hold of this knowledge." Makarov said.

[Considering his guild's track record of keeping secrets, I doubt it will take long for someone to spill the beans]

I also advised him to change the chant to his liking since I got mine from Raven, whom everyone would hate the second she showed up.

The next issue to deal with was what to do with Faris and Touka. My clone brought them to the nearest town he could find and left them in an inn, which just so happens to be the one we're in now.

Everyone stares at the two sleeping in their beds, not having moved an inch since my clone brought them in.

"Hey! Shouldn't we tie up that Touka girl!?" Max said.

"She'll drain our magic the moment she wakes up!" Warren adds.

"We're probably safe. She won't recover her magic so easily." Wendy assures them.

"And if she fights back, I'll clobber her!" Natsu exclaims.

"Wait, which one is Touka? The girl or the cat?" A confused Nab asks.

"Touka is the Exceed. The girl's real name is Faris." I said.

"How do you know that?" Gajeel asks.

"Because she told me before she used her magic on me in order to make me her puppet." I revealed. "Anyways, the [White Wizard] seemed to have possessed Touka, but I'm not sure why."

'I can't recall the details behind Selene sending Faris and Touka to Earth Land. I guess I'll ask her directly once I get back.' I thought.

"In any case, I find it hard to believe Touka was an Exceed to begin with." Carla comments.

"You mean she isn't from Extalia?" Wendy asks.

"As far as I know, no." Carla confirmed.

With that, the guild members take turns guarding the two but after three days they didn't wake up.

As for everyone else…

"At any rate," Makarov raises his wooden mug. "Let's celebrate our reunion in this foreign country!"

"CHEERS!"

They switched to party mode.

Everyone ate, drank, talked, drank, laughed, ate, fought, drank, came to terms with being brainwashed, and threw stuff around.

Did I mention drinking and eating?

Gray and Natsu were busy stuffing themselves with comically-sized pizzas and meat, all the while Juvia and Lucy cheered them on.

Cana's busy taking bets from everyone on who can finish the fastest and when she won, she used all of her winnings to buy the inn's entire stock of alcohol.

How she manages to keep her voluptuous body while also drinking gallons that could very much kill a human being, I have no idea.

[Anime logic, baby~]

"Yeah, that makes sense." I said as Brandish clings to me with a vice grip.

"Asmodeus-sama. This inn sells parfaits! Let's eat them together!" Brandish says as she drags me off.

Happy's tries to share his fish with Carla, but gets ignored.

Mira drinks from her mug causing all of the males (minus Natsu) to become instantly aroused by the sight of her moist and thick lips.

"Oh!" A bit of her drink spills on her dress and passes through the crack between her cleavage. "Cold…"

"Gah!" The men scream as their nosebleeds literally blast them out of the inn and into the sky.

Lisanna sweat drops. "Mira-nee's on a whole other level…"

"Nee-san's a REAL MAN!" Elfman yells out.

Natsu is seen lying on top of rolling barrels. "C'mon! Let's go barrel surfing!" But no sooner does he say that Natsu starts throwing up.

"When will you learn!?" The guild yells.

Irene is seen drinking a glass of wine in amusement as she watches Seilah somehow end up in a brawl with Evergreen.

"This is nice." Irene says but not before a bottle suddenly hits her in the face, causing its contents to spill all over her.

As the beer drips from her face and hair, the former Shield turns to the direction of the bottle and gives the wizards a very familiar death stare.

"Who threw that?" Irene demands in a demonic voice.

"Eep!" The wizards cower before her gaze.

"Gray-samaaaaa!" Juvia gushes.

"Hm? What's up, Juvia?" Gray asks as he is now in his birthday suit.

"YOU'RE BUTT-ASS NAKED!" Macao exclaims in horror.

"Really, just where have I gone wrong with that boy?" Ur exasperates, also equally naked.

"YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS HIM!"

Juvia hugs Gray. "I love you so much!"

Gray smiles and pads her head. "Yeah, me too."

"Eeeeeeeeeh!?" Everyone is obviously shocked by the reveal.

Meanwhile, Brandish and I share a large parfait together.

"Hey. This is pretty good." I applaud.

"I'm glad you like it, Asmodeus-sama." Brandish said as she eats her own spoonful of it.

The partying/brawl continued for three days and nights, never letting up. At least until Natsu had an idiot moment and BURNED DOWN the inn by accident! Who does that!?
Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail everyone. At least nobody's dead this time.

Anyways, after fixing the building with [Nemesis] everyone went straight back to partying (except Natsu because he was given a timeout by Erza and Makarov).

After a week of partying, the guild decides to spend some time sightseeing before heading back to Ishgar. Ur went with Gray and Juvia to catch on what she missed the past decade, Seilah went to the local library to read, Brandish went to find a sweets shop (that girl has a mean sweet tooth) and Irene is who knows where.

Meanwhile, I step out a portal with a piece of tree bark in my hands. "Man, having [Perfect Unknowable] is the best. I wonder why I never used it until now."

[Probably because you were too busy spamming Gaster Blasters]

Still, jokes aside, there's one detail that had me concerned.

"If Aldoron managed to find a Chaos Emerald here in Earth Land, who's to say there aren't more out there?" I said.

[In that case, we'll need to prepare for whoever gets their hands on it. Aldoron was threatening enough with just a single emerald. If a human with a dark heart manages to get a hold of one, there's no telling what can happen]

I sit down on the mattress of my bed and open my status screen.

"Well, damn." I whisper under my breath.

[I get feeling you'll keep breaking the scales of power till there's no power left to gain]

"And I still have these." I pull out all of my [Legendary Gacha Tokens] from my [Inventory]. "Let's see what I can get from these?"

[Go for it. I'm curious what you'll get this time around]

I smile and activate all the gacha tickets.

It is the ultimate meta-material that exists outside of logic and common sense that provides the ultimate protection, comfort, stealth at the user's discretion, and versatility.

[Omni Sword] - Rank: ?

The pinnacle of all swords. The blade remains shiny without tarnishing, and the edge is always sharp. It is said to be capable of cutting anything, but that depends on the contractor. Will bind to the first person to lift it.

This Greninja once belonged to Ash Ketchum and was arguably his greatest Pokemon, surpassing even his iconic Pikachu.

You gained the following traits from Legendary Gacha Tokens:

[Rinne-Sharingan]

Also known as the Saṃsāra Copy Wheel Eye, it is a dōjutsu kekkei mōra and the predecessor to the Rinnegan and Sharingan. First manifested by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, it possesses the abilities of both the Sharingan and Rinnegan, but what sets it apart is that it allows the user to cast the [Infinite Tsukuyomi] on the planet as well as interdimensional travel.

[Legendary Super Saiyan Mutation]

Grants the user the ability to turn into the Legendary Super Saiyan. Once acquired, it instantly changes your race to [Saiyan] and grants you a monkey tail. Like all Saiyans, you will turn into a Great Ape at the sight of a full moon as well as gain the [Super Saiyan] transformations. But unlike normal Saiyans, your battle instincts and adaptive capabilities are infinitely stronger and without equal, allowing you to potentially grow at an unprecedented rate to an unprecedented level, and your Zenkai boosts are bigger and constantly active when engaging powerful foes just like a certain God who inhabits a Saiyan body. You will also have near-inexhaustible reserves of Ki upon transforming into its unique line of Super Saiyan transformations, though controlling said power is tricky if the user is overwhelmed by bloodlust. As a possessor of the Legendary Saiyan Mutation, which is so rare to the point of near non-existence, your potential is truly without limits, making you the strongest Saiyan to ever live.

Raises all stats by 5000 in base form. Transformation multiplies states by 40.

[Celestial Engineer]

You are a Lord of Creation, your creativity and ingenuity go beyond the divine. As master builder, you are able to create/repair anything you can think of without restriction as well as alter/enhance skills and items. Whether mechanical, magical, or primordial in nature, it makes no difference. Nothing is outside the realm of possibility to you once you start building.

Gives you the title [Master Forger].

[Master Forger]

Increases INT and WIS by 5000.

I'm a god… there's no mistaking it, I'm a god!

[You're lucky you have me to fuse the Rinne-Sharingan with your Silver Eyes. If you didn't, you'd have to rip out your own eyeballs and then you'd never be able to turn the Rinne-Sharingan off]

"Yeah, thanks." I said.

[Good. Praise me more. As compensation, I demand chocolate parfaits with whip cream and strawberry syrup for being such a benevolent system~]

I roll my eyes. "Whatever."

*RIIIIIIIIPP~*

I turn my head back only for something furry to kiss my nose. I glance down and see a long brown tail coming out of my pants just above my butt.

"This is gonna take a while to get used to." I comment as my new tail wiggles around uncontrollably.

[I think it's cute]

*SMACK!* The tail suddenly smacks me in the face.

"Yeah, real cute." I massage my cheek.

*CRACK~*

I turn to the sudden sounds and find cracks forming on the walls and windows.

"What?" I look down and see my feet sinking into the floor. "What's going on!?"

[Your power is surging out of control, it's crushing everything around you. You need to find a way to control it fast!]

More cracks spread as the room groans loudly before the roof starts to cave in.

"Shit, shit, shit!" I scroll through my [Inventory] hoping that there's something I can use to stop this.

The buildings outside slowly get crushed as everyone collapses onto the ground, unable to move.

"Hey… who's the bastard who's using [Gravity Magic]!?" Natsu yells, despite having his face buried in the ground.

Gray struggles to raise his head as he watches everyone and everything get crushed.

"What's… happening…!?" Gray struggles to say.

Meanwhile, I search my pocket dimension like a madman for something that can help me.

And then I found it.

"Yes!" I pull out the [Shackles of Exodia], which appear as a set of rusty shackles, and put them on my wrists and ankles.

In an instant, the pressure fades as I can feel my power being sealed away.

"Ugh." I suddenly collapse on the floor, feeling weaker than I've ever been in my life. "Shit. Feels like I'm carrying dozens of cement blocks on my back."

[Those shackles were meant to restrain a being of god-like power, and you pretty much fit the bill]

I grab onto the edge of my mattress frame and struggle to pull myself up but manage to land on my bed.

"I feel sick…" I groan out.

[Don't be such a baby]

I open my status screen.

"I feel like I got a hangover." I groan out. "I can't believe how weak I got."

[You're still stronger than most people on this planet, so I don't see what your whining about]

I adjust the shackles on my wrists. "These things are pretty tight. I wish they were more comfortable." Suddenly, the shackles glow and when it fades, the shackles are now golden with gemstones embroiled on them. "Much better."

[Why not go to a dungeon? It has been a while]

"Good idea." I open my menu and press the [ID: Create] icon.

I arch an eyebrow at the name. "Diablo? Like the game Diablo? I remember playing it a few times, but never really got into it."

[I think we should go for it. Don't you wanna fight demons again? I sure do]

"You just wanna be VEGA again."

[Yeah, because roleplaying is fun. We don't do fun things anymore and I hate it. C'mon, for me?]

"Sure." I press yes and instantly, I find myself standing in front of the remains of a giant golden gate.

I quickly climb the debris and reach the top, revealing a golden, but ravaged city. The clouds in the sky are a dark red, completely covering the sun's light as red lightning can be seen dancing within its density.

"Whoa…" I marvel at the beauty of the city, completely ignoring the destruction it's been subjected to.

"Hey, what the hell!?"

"!?" I turn back to see Natsu Dragneel climbing the mountains of ruined gold. "What the hell…?"

[Well, this is unexpected]

"Hey, Azzy!" The knucklehead of Fairy Tail quickly climbs to the top and stands right next to me. "What the hell's going on!? One moment I was in my room, next thing I know I'm standing in the Celestial Spirit World!"

I was just confused. "How are you here…?"

"I could ask you the same thing!" Natsu said.

"Look, it's-" But the alert from my [Radar] puts me on edge. "Move!" I grab Natsu and we jump off the mountain just in time to avoid a metal hammer crushing the top where they stood.

We look up to see five tall flying monsters possessing skull-shaped faces, burnt off wings and torn robes.

One of the angels charges at sonic speeds but we jump apart just before it can hit us.

"Alright, you asked for it!" Natsu's charges forward and ignites one of his legs. "[Fire Dragon's Claw]!" He leaps at one of the angels and hits it with a powerful roundhouse kick, sending it flying towards one of ruined buildings.

However, Natsu's too late to sense the other four evil angels closing in on him, ready to bludgeon him with their massive hammers.

"[Payback Over Requiem: The World]!" My Stand appears and time stops on my command, freezing everything and everyone like a still image of a picture.

I fly towards the monsters and have my Stand bash them with a merciless barrage of rapid punches, cracking their skulls and shattering their armor.

"[Time Will Resume]." The world regains color and monsters shoot out of the way like bullets, each crashing to different areas of the city.

The first corrupted angel blasts itself out of the building and goes for the kill.

"[Fire Dragon's Sword Horn]!" Natsu lights his entire body ablaze and headbutts the monster at a high speed, destroying its skull and killing it.

You have defeated Corrupted Angel(x5)! You have gained 56,399 EXP(x5)! You have earned 43,566 Credits(x5)!

Level Up(x3)!

I walk up to the dragon slayer. "You okay, dude?"

"Yeah, but what were those things?" Natsu asks.

"Angels. Specifically angels that have succumbed to corruption." I explained.

Natsu tilts his head as a large question mark appears on top of his head. "Angels? Like Happy and Carla?"

I sweat drop. "They're not cats."

Natsu crosses his arms together. "So where are we? Because this is definitely not Earth Land."

"Okay, to sum it up, I have access to alternate dimensions that I use to train." I revealed, surprising the [Salamander].

"Is that why you're so strong?" Natsu asks.

"Well, yes… among other things." I vaguely admit. "Anyways, I don't know how you managed to get dragged here, but you need to leave."

"What!? But why!?" Natsu asks.

"Trust me. The monsters are a force to be reckoned with." I said. 'If this dungeon is meant to represent Diablo 3, then Diablo would have become the [Prime Evil] a being with powers surpassing God. Not to mention Malthael whose likely somewhere in the world.'

"Well, I'm not going! I'm staying to fight!" Natsu exclaims.

"This isn't up for discussion. You're going back and that's final." I told him.

"So you can get stronger!? No way! I wanna grow stronger, too!"

"Stop being so childish and think for a second! You don't know what your getting yourself into, but I do. You won't last long without a guide." I argued.

"Then let's go together! We can beat anything that comes in our way!" Natsu retorts.

[There's just no convincing him, is there?]

'No. But then again, it wouldn't be Natsu if he wasn't such a thickheaded idiot.' I thought.

"Right, let's go!" Natsu said just as something creepy up from behind.

I quickly push him aside as sharp talons bounce right of my [Aura] absorbing the blow.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu jumps at the incoming flock of Succubi. "[Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame]!"

As Natsu takes care of his share of demons, I turn my attention to mine. "So," I summon my [Omni-Sword] and raise it at the demons. "Who wants to go first?"

Armored Destroyers roar and charge forward only to be cut down with relative ease.

I look at the corpses and turn to my reflection on the blade. "This sword is amazing! The way it cuts into their flesh is just perfect!"

More Armored Destroyers charge in and get cut down. "C'mon. Let me break in my new sword more."

Suddenly, the ground trembles as something massive approaches. Eventually, three hulking red demons walk wielding equally large maces.

[You really need to learn when to keep your mouth shut]

I slice a few demons, but the more I kill, the more appear to take their place. Like a fucking clown car!

"This is getting ridiculous!" I cut off an angel's only for an Oppressor to bash me in the head with his mace.

"Are you kidding me!? This is a blast! So many opponents to take on! You should tell me whenever you go on these trips! I want more of this kind of action!" Natsu exclaims and he climbs onto an Oppressor's head and ignites it.

The hulking demon shrieks in agony as it bends one knee and collapses.

More demons charge at Natsu, but all their attacks are deflected by his [Aura].

[Hey, is it just me or is his Aura glowing brighter?]

"Hehehe… you bastards better start trying, because I'M NOT HOLDING BACK!" Natsu's body glows a reddish-orange as pulls his arm back. "[Fire Dragon's Aura Fist]!" He punches forward, unleashing a hurricane of fire that instantly engulfs all of the demons in front of him, incinerating them to ashes along with any other structure caught in its wake, which was everything in front of Natsu.

Where they were once ruined structures, now is a gigantic burning scorch mark. The demons that managed to survive scream in agony as their inside are scorched from inside and their bodies turn to ashes.

"Holy shit…" Even I'm dumbstruck by Natsu's level of power.

[Damn, and here I thought Natsu couldn't get more destructive. I feel bad for Makarov and Natsu's team, he's gonna give them a ton of strokes]

"I think Natsu will take Deliora's place as the [Demon of Destruction] at this rate." I said in a resigned tone. "Heck, he might be the [Dragon of Destruction] at this point!"

[Gray will not be happy about that]

Just then, more demons appear and quickly close the distance between us.

I grip my sword tighter. "Enough of this." I whip around and take a deep breath. "[Ice Devil's Rage]!" I unleash a massive purple blizzard at the demons which freezes everything it comes into contact with, turning them all into purple ice sculptures.

The ice cracks and everything quickly falls apart, leaving nothing but cold wind and misshapen ice.

"Aw, it's over already?" Natsu exclaimed in a disappointed tone. "I wanted to fight some more!"

"These were just the grunts. We'll encounter stronger enemies the closer we get to the boss." I warned the salmon-haired dragon slayer. "Also, remind me to give something to Erza to fix any collateral damage you cause."

"What? Why?" Natsu asked in confusion, causing me to look at him with a little disbelief.

"Natsu, while I find your destructive tendencies amusing and endearing, I know it can be stressful and frustrating for your team and guild." I gesture to the smoldering pit. "And seeing the destruction you just caused is gonna give everyone in Fairy Tail all sorts of health issues, whether from the destruction or the bills."

"?" Natsu just looks even more confused.

[Is he seriously not getting it?]

'If he did, then the guild wouldn't be getting so many complaints.' I sigh in resignation. "Okay, I decided to let you come with me."

"Yippee!" Natsu cheers.

"But!" I interrupted his cheer. "You need to stay by my side at all times and never wander off. Got it?"

Natsu frantically nods.

"Good." I told him as we walk towards the Crystal Arch.

"Hey, Azzy. What's that?" Natsu asks, pointing at something.

I turned to the direction he was pointing at, with the only thing in said direction being [Payback Over Requiem], who I kept on standby, causing me to quickly turn my eyes back to the dragon slayer.

"Wait, you can see him?" I asked in surprise.

"What do you mean? Kinda hard to miss something like that. Is it some kind of spirit or something?" Natsu asked.

'How is Natsu able to see my Stand?' I couldn't help but ask.

[It might have something to do with when you gave Natsu that Chaos-infusion that let him unlock his Chaos Fire Dragon Mode. After all, Mira wasn't able to see it until after her evolution. Natsu may be undergoing his own evolution but at a slower pace]

'Yeah, and that's what worries me. There's no telling what can happen.' I thought. [Chaos Energy] is, by nature, very unpredictable. It could benefit him or outright kill him.

'Come to think of it, Mira hasn't talked to me at all since we came to Drameel.' I realized.

[Everyone has been too distracted with celebrating to follow up on those explanations you promised them. Though after that power surge before you put on the Shackles of Exodia, don't be surprised if everyone starts flocking at your doorstep]

'In that case, we should finish this quickly.' I thought. "Hey Natsu, let's take a shortcut."

"Okay, where's-" But he doesn't finish as I grab him and we fly towards the Crystal Arch. We were soon met with resistance by more demons, but I used my Stand's time stop ability to skip through them and crash into the citadel.

"Whoa! You're faster than happy!" Natsu said, unaffected by the fact we crashed head-first into a building made of gold.

"Well, we're in a bit of a hurry."

Natsu arches an eyebrow. "Hey, you alright man? You seem a little… off."

I sigh. "Sorry, I'm just really annoyed for some reason. I guess it's because I'm weaker now and one of those bastards managed to hit me."

"Weak? You don't seem weak to me." Natsu remarks.

"Trust me, I'm actually supposed to be a LOT stronger," I raise my arms, showing him my shackles. "But due to a massive surge in my power that I wasn't able to control, I had to use these shackles to restrict the output of my power to a mere 1%."

"Wait, 1%?!" Natsu exclaimed in shock and disbelief. "You're telling me the power you used just now is only 1%?! How strong are you?!"

"In all honesty, I have no idea." I replied. "My power and potential are shot through the roof, so there's no telling how strong I truly am. But until I can master it and control it better, I'm stuck at 1%."

"Okay, we seriously need to fight now." Natsu said.

"Didn't you just hear a word I said?" I asked.

"Yeah, but it just makes me more excited! I wanna fight you with everything I got!" Natsu yelled.

I snort. "Of course you do, you're a bonafide battle maniac. But then again, all fire dragons are battle maniacs, which apparently extends to Fire Dragon Slayers."

"Hell yeah we are!" Natsu proclaimed proudly, before glancing at his surroundings. "What the?"

I turned to see what got his attention and I couldn't even believe it myself.

Before us is a gigantic cavern, probably the largest we've ever seen. However, that isn't what caught our attention.

It's the feeling we get from this place. It is cold and desolate, dark and twisted. There is nothing but darkness and an incredibly uncomfortable silence.

"What is this place?" Natsu begins to rub his hands together. "It's freezing! How the hell am I getting cold!?"

[It's like we just entered into the domain of death]

"... this is wrong. We need to leave, now." I said.

"Don't need to tell me twice!" Natsu and I turn back to the hole we made.

… except it wasn't there.

"The hell!? Didn't we crash through here just a minute ago!?" Natsu goes up to the rocky wall and touches it, only to find that it's solid. "[Fire Dragon's Iron Fist]" He punches the wall, but all that did was make the [Salamander] recoil from the pain in his hand. "Argh! What the hell is this rock made of!?"

I walk up to the wall and touch where Natsu hit it. "There isn't even a scorch mark on it."

'Someone knows we're here, and they clearly don't want us to leave.' I thought.

'[False Data: Life].' A green veil surrounds me as the skill takes effect.

"Wait, is that water?" Natsu's voice catches my attention as I see him standing at the edge of a cliff

"I thought I told you not to wander off." I make my way towards Natsu and look down at the large body of water below, but something's wrong. Instead of seeing our reflection, we saw something that couldn't be described in words, but rather in feelings as there seemed to be an accumulation of emotions coming from the water.

[Snap out of it!]

"!" I gasp and quickly grab Natsu and pull him away from the edge.

"W-What happened!?" Natsu said, not aware of what happened.

"Whatever this is, this isn't normal water." I noted. "It felt like my mind was being pulled into the water. If we had stayed longer, we may have lost ourselves."

"Interesting. To think there were mortals who could resist the Pools of Wisdom." A voice speaks out of nowhere which catches our attention. "But then again, neither of you are human in nature."
This made Natsu angry. "What do ya mean not human!? We're 100% human, pal!"

[No, not really]

"You know he kind of has a point." I point out.

Natsu whips his head to face me. "Hey, don't encourage him!"

I give the idiot a blank look. "Natsu, I'm a dragon/demon hybrid who also got a monkey's tail." My brown tail rises to emphasize my point. "I'm pretty sure that isn't something humans have."

"Well, I guess-"

"Also, from what I gathered, aren't you an Etherious created by Zeref who used his dead little brother as a template? Not to mention being raised and taught [Fire Dragon Slayer] magic by Igneel, the [Fire Dragon King]? You're not exactly human yourself either, chief."

"Okay fine! But it shouldn't give him the right to look down on us or underestimate humanity!" Natsu argues.

"I never said it did, but we can talk after we kick its ass." I told him.

"Such arrogance. You believe the two of you together have the power to defeat me? That is absolutely ludicrous."

"If that's what you think, then why don't do us a favor and reveal yourself instead of wasting our time?" I goaded.

Suddenly, thick dark fog begins to permeate from every direction of the cavern, obscuring the walls and lake.

"What's going on!?" Natsu yells before the two of us are completely swallowed by the darkness.

The next thing we know, we are standing on a massive platform of sorts made of black metal with azure flame lighting what is otherwise a dark void.

"The soulstone is upon Sanctuary. The blood of demons will soon be gone from all Creation."

The two of us turn to a dark cloud in the center before it dissipates, revealing a humanoid figure wearing dark robes and armor. Its face is obscured in darkness by the large hood over its head as ghostly skeletal wings come out of its back. It carries two black razor-sharp sickles in each hand.

'He finally appears.' I narrow my eyes at the newcomer with apprehension.

"You are not Nephalean, yet you both have demon blood within you although it is diluted." The creature comments. "Most curious."

"That's because we're dragon slayers, you bastard!" Natsu yells.

"Dragon slayers… humans who have the power of slay dragons. I did not realize humans had evolved this far."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Malthael. Remember it when you enter the afterlife." Malthael said.

"Like hell that's gonna happen!" Natsu exclaims.

"It is inevitable." Malthael brandishes his sickles. "Death comes to us all."

Before we knew it, Mathael was right between us.

"!" We jump back just as the bastard swipes his sickles at us.

Natsu leaps forward. "[Lighting Fire Dragon's Firing Hammer]!" He engulfs his forearm in both fire and lighting and hits the angel in the torso.

But it did nothing.

"What!?" Natsu exclaims in shock and horror as Malthael looks down at him.

"Is this all of the power you can muster, demon?" Malthael asks before quickly going for Natsu's neck only to suddenly vanish. "?"

"You okay?" I ask Natsu.

Natsu nods. "Yeah."

"You may want to sit this one out." Natsu's eyes widened. "This guy… he's way outta your league."

"What?! No way!" Natsu shouted. "I'm not gonna leave you to fight this bastard on your own! Besides, didn't you say most of your power was suppressed!?"

"Yeah, mostly suppressed." I confirmed. "But that doesn't mean I'm weak. It just means the fight will last much longer than usual."

As I said this, [Payback Over Requiem] appeared behind me.

"It's that spirit thing again!" Natsu replied. "You know, you never told me what it is."

"It's called a Stand, think of it as a more potent version of a [Semblance]." I told him.

"And you had something like that all along? Man, I am so jealous!" Natsu exclaims.

"Interesting. A spirit capable of manipulating the laws of the universe is unheard of." Malthael turns to us. "How truly… bizarre."

I smirk. "You haven't seen anything yet." I raise my right leg and slam it to the floor.

And the world breaks.

Malthael watches as reality around him twists and bends as the floor he is standing on breaks away.

"What is this?" Malthael asks, puzzled before he senses something approaching. "!?"

"MUDA!" The bizarre spirit punches the fallen angel in the chest, sending it flying across the splintered reality before crashing on a floating rock.

Malthael doesn't waste any time and stands upright despite being on a perfect 90-degree angle and not falling.

He leaps forward and raises his sickles to attack but I block them with the [Sparda], although he manages to overpower me and send me crashing down.

"Hey, ugly!" Malthael turns to the defiant voice of Natsu. "[Lightning Fire Dragon's Attack]!" He charges at the fallen angel at high speeds and delivers a powerful fire and lightning-clad punch, knocking the monster back.

Malthael stops the momentum but sees the spirit from earlier rushing for him.

"MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!MUDA!" It screams as it sends a barrage of lightspeed punches at him, all of which he manages to dodge.

Until one of them manages to scrape his hood.

"!" Malthael swings his sickle and the spirit dodges, only to reveal the other mortal charging an energy blast.

"[Hyper Beam]!" I fire a massive stream of energy that quickly engulfs the fallen energy and obliterates the fractured glass of reality.

Natsu jumps towards me. "Dude, that was sick! Where did you learn to do that!?" He asks excitedly before noticing his friend's tired state. "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. It's just… using this technique takes a lot of stamina." I groan before taking a knee. "It may take a few minutes to recover."

[I don't think we have a "few minutes", dude]

"!" I quickly push Natsu away.

"Hey, what're you-!?" But Natsu stops as he sees what happened.

Malthael stabbed Azzy in the chest with both his sickles.

"Guck!" I vomit a lot of blood.

"AZZY!" Natsu screams out.

"Now, sleep forevermore." Malthael said.

[Payback Over Requiem] fades away and immediately reality returns back to how it was before.

Malthael pulls his sickles out of the corpse and lets it fall limply to the ground with an audible thud.

"AZZY!" Natsu rushes to his friend. "C'mon, don't die on me! Don't you fucking dare!"

"You are too late, he is already gone." Malthael states.

"You still owe me a fight, man!" Tears rolled off Natsu's face. "What about Brandish, or Cana, or Mira!? Are you seriously gonna leave them alone!?" He starts shaking the corpse violently. "C'mon, say something already, you fucker! After all you did for everyone, is THIS how you want it to end!?"

"It's no use. But do not fret." Malthael floats forward, his sickles dripping with fresh blood as he raises them at Natsu. "You will join him soon enough."

However, as the sickles make their descent, Natsu's head whips back and the angel sees something he is all too familiar with.

Rage.

*BOOM!*

Malthael is blown away by the force of a sudden attack, being pushed over a dozen meters away and is slightly disoriented.

When he got his bearings back together and focused on what struck him, he saw the very same mortal he was planning to kill, only now he looked different.

His appearance has changed. His vest is gone, revealing large portions of his body now covered in pitch-black marking that seem to be spreading and his left eye has a yellow iris and blackened sclera. In addition, he has a prominent set of horns sprouting on both sides of his head.

Overall, his appearance befitted that of a demon

"You…!" Natsu growled in a dark tone laced with power. "I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Natsu then shot forward and let forth an onslaught of attacks against Malthael.

"Guh!" Malthael grunts from the pain as he is unable to dodge the merciless onslaught.

"[Demonic Fire Dragon's Raging Flame]!" In an instant, Natsu launches a massive whirl of flames towards Malthael as he spins his arm counterclockwise.

"Aah!" The Angel of Death screams in agony. He can feel the cursed flames injecting into his body like a poison and eating away at him. "Guh… this can't be…!"

"[Demonic Fire Dragon's Sword]!" Natsu swings his arm in an arc, creating a large crescent wave of dark red energy that instantly slices through Malthael and the pillars behind him.

"Argh!" Malthael grabs onto his sliced abdomen as blue energy escapes from the wound.

"You are stronger than I anticipated, mortal. The death of your friend seems to have awakened the demon inside you." Malthael comments as his wound quickly heals. "But a false demon's power will never be a match for the genuine article."

Cursed flames dance around Natsu as he slowly walks towards Malthael with a crooked step. Unfocused yellow eyes stare at him with unbridled hatred.

"Kill you… I must kill you…" Natsu mutters out loud, his words resembling that of beastial growls.

"It seems you are losing yourself to your anger. How typical of your kind." Malthael sighs as he slowly ascends. "The end is inevitable. You only need to die, and your pain will end."

Natsu launches himself at the angel, but Malthael releases a swarm of glowing blobs that hit Natsu's limbs, freezing them. But to the angel's shock, the demon is not deterred and his limbs quickly thrawl from the insane heat his body is emitting.

"[Demonic Energy Blast]!" Natsu raises his right hand forward and gathers [Curse] and [Magic] energy before immediately releasing it right in front of Malthael, creating a massive explosion.

From the smoke, Malthael flies upwards to create some distance but is once again thwarted as Natsu grows bat-like wings to quickly catch up to him.

"[Demonic Fire Dragon's Hellbound Fist]!" Natsu clenches his fist as cursed flames cloak around it to form a dragon's head and punches the fallen angel right through his armor and his chest, sending a shockwave so powerful that causes the entire realm to shake and sending Malthael flying straight towards the void outside of the platform.

Natsu lands on the arena and looks as his hellish flames engulf most of the structure.

"Hahaha…!" Natsu chuckles before breaking into a fit of insane cackling. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

However as he laughs, his eyes soon swivel to the corpse resting to the side unaffected by the flames, and his expression changes to one of sadness and melancholy.

"I'm sorry…" Natsu mutters, a speck of clarity manifests as his eyes regain their original color.

"You got nothing to apologize for." A voice comes out of the corpse's mouth.

"!?" Natsu looks and sees the corpse's eyes staring at him with a smile.

"But, if you really want to make it up to me, how about treating me to a meat lover's buffet when we get back?" I smiled.

"H-How!?" Natsu stammers as he sees his friend slowly rise.

"By the skin of my teeth, Natsu. And no, I'm not gonna teach you how to do it. This is my trade secret." I told him.

[It was clever of you to mentally cast False Data: Life on yourself so that Malthael couldn't sense your lifeforce. A good way to playing possum with an angel of death]

"By the way, I like your new look. Makes you look like an actual-Whoa!" I'm suddenly tackled into a strong hug.

"I… I thought you died! I thought I wasn't gonna see my friend again!" Natsu cried.

I arch an eyebrow. "Natsu, you've only known me for a week. Besides, you still have your family, I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Don't say that! You are just as part of my family as Fairy Tail is!" Natsu exclaims.

"Natsu…"

"After everything you've done, you are definitely family to me!" Natsu exclaims. "I mean, you bailed me out of jail! You saved the guild from the [White Wizard] when they were under her control! You helped us against overwhelmingly impossible odds against Aldoron! Hell, you brought us back to life after we were all killed by Aldoron, with a lot of us being revived TWICE! How would you NOT be practically family at this point?!"

I was silent as Natsu continued his tirade.

[He does have a valid point. As short as your time has been with them, strong bonds and relationships can be formed immediately in the face of adversity and shared struggle, and you've done more than enough to earn the respect and bond with Fairy Tail to be considered family.]

"Okay, Natsu." I replied with a heartfelt smile. "It's good to know how much you all value me, and sorry for making you worry."

+33 Reputation with Natsu Dragneel (100/100)

"You better be!" Natsu said with his signature goofy grin.

"You… you think you've won…!?"

"!?" We both turn to see Malthael floating in the center of the ring, his body burned and his armor in shambles.

"You are imbued with the power of the flames of hell." Malthael summons a large obsidian crystal ominous glowing orange. "But do not think you have the advantage, for I possess more than one weapon!"

He smashes the crystal with his sickle, shattering it into hundreds of pieces. However, the pieces stopped before spreading and quickly flew towards Malthael and sank deep into his body.

"Yessssss!" Malthael hisses like a snake as unholy power courses through his body until it explodes outwards, healing his injuries and restoring his armor.

"Now, you will die." Malthael declares.

"I don't think so." I stand up. "Because you've just made a big mistake."

"And that is?" Malthael asks.

"Trying to kill me. And that will be your first and last mistake." I declared.

"Foolishness, you cannot kill Death." Malthael said.

"Wanna bet?" I widen my posture and clench my fists as I grit my teeth. "Hrk…! Gh!" Wisps of electricity dance around as pressure begins to build up.

"Hey, do you need to go to the bathroom or something?" Natsu asks before getting hit in the chest by a stray lighting bolt. "Ouch!"

Malthael looks on as the entire area begins to shake violently as a vibrant and sparking green aura begins to cloak him and his power rises higher and higher

"What is this? It's like nothing I've ever felt before." Malthael said.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" The floor cracks underneath him as he begins to levitate upwards before unleashing a vibrant, flaming green aura. The energy output is so strong that it causes reality itself to violently shift colors.

When the violent quake ends, the two see Asmodeus floating just above them but now appear different. He is now much taller and more buff, his eyes are now a vibrant blue. His hair now stands on end, giving it a rising, flame-like appearance along with its color changing to a glowing emerald green, with his tail also gaining this color.

However, what makes him stand out is massive amounts of power he seems to be generating and increasing at an exponential rate.

"Whoa…" Even Natsu can't help but be dumbstruck by this.

Malthael tightens his grip on the sickles. "It matters not what form you take, death consumes all."

"In that case," The monster points at him, his voice low and threatening. "How about becoming the first of my victims?"

"So cool…" Natsu says in awe.

"Such insolence. I will wipe that arrogance from the universe!" Malthael flies towards him, but suddenly doubles back as he is struck in the chest.

"Weak." I scoff and deliver a spin kick that sends the angel straight to a wall creating a massive crater.

I laugh. "This is the Angel of Death!? What a joke! That little stone of yours was nothing but pure bullshit!"

Malthael tries to move only for a large hand to grab his head and pin him back to the wall.

"I'm ending this. I'm not gonna be like Goku or Vegeta or any goddamn Saiyan that showed for over TEN fucking episodes. I'm going to kill you. No power-ups, no monologues, just a pure and painful death." I said.

"Y-You're… a monster…!" Malthael utters.

"You lost the bet." My [Silver Rinne-Sharingan] activates. "And now to collect my winnings."

I slam my left hand directly into Malthael's armor. My fingers sink into his armor without issue until my palm is flat against his abdomen. Then he begins to reel his arm back and in his hand something blue slowly makes its way out.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Malthael begins to thrash around in an attempt to dislodge the monster from him.

Natsu looks up at the loud screams coming from the darkness beyond… he kind of likes it.

"N…o… I am… I am!" Malthael screams out.

"Oh, shut up." With one more tug, I pull out Malthael's soul completely. But as I did, black smoke shoots upwards to the roof.

Blue wisps escape from the now empty husk before exploding into blue light.

I turn to the soul in my hand and stare at it for a moment. "Hm, I wonder." Black energy surges from my hand into the soul and forces it to sink into my hand, effectively absorbing it.

"Whoa!" I said as I was hit with a sudden surge of power.

[What the hell…?]

"?"I look at the center of the crater and see something lodge there. I grab and easily pull it out and look at it.

[Worldstone Fragment] - Rank: ?

A fragment of the Worldstone, an object of infinite power. It has the power to alter reality among other things, however, it was corrupted during the Great Conflict by the Three Prime Evils and was shattered by Tyreal.

[Another source of infinite power, though this one is corrupted and shattered into tiny pieces. Even I know it'd be scummy if I gave you a fetch quest for who knows how many shards are laying around]

I close my hand around the shard and it glows bright red for a moment. When I open it, the shard remains the same, but has a lighter shade of red than when I found it.

Natsu looks on as his friend flies back to the arena and lands in front of him.

"You did it. You killed him." Natsu said.

"Yeah. And I took his soul. I honestly didn't think I could do that." I remark as I drop the shard in my pocket dimension.

"You can take people's SOULS NOW!? How does that feel?" Natsu asks.

"It's just like when I absorb energy, except in this case, there's more of a heavier aftertaste. In Malthael's case, his soul was like eating blackberries. "I explained. "Anyways, that's the least of our concerns."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was extracting Malthael's soul, something escaped and headed up. I don't think our quest is over just yet."I told him before watching Natsu walking towards one of Malthael's sickles and picking it up. "What are you doing?"

"Just grabbing a souvenir. No biggie." Natsu says with a smile.

I roll my eyes. "Whatever." I open my pocket dimension and take out a [Chaos Emerald]. "Ready?"

Natsu walks up to me and grabs my shoulder.

"[Chaos Control]." The two of us disappear in a flash of light and reappear back in the cavern.

"We're back!" Natsu says before noticing his friend not responding. "Azzy?"

Instead of responding, I raise my arm and fire a large beam of energy, destroying the roof and opening a path to the very top.

"Let's end this."I fly through the holes and quickly make it to the highest point of the building and on the other side is an extremely tall demon with a red body and bone-like spikes protruding from his back and two large horns on both sides of its head. Its physique is feminine with pronounced hips, as well as multiple mouths.

"[Almighty Push]." The Prime Evil is blown back by the sudden attack of gravity to a nearby wall before four [Chromas] pierce through all of his limbs pinning him to the wall.

"What is the meaning of this?! How dare you, you wretched mortal!" Diablo yells as he struggles to break free.

"I'm not in the mood for another boss fight. I'm just going to take your soul and get the hell out of here." I slowly make my way towards him.

Diablo merely laughs. "You think you can take my soul!? I am the Prime Evil! Nothing can contain me!"

"Yeah, and I bet Malthael thought the same before I ripped the literal lifeforce out of him." I said.

Diablo unleashes a blood-curling roar that blows away everything in the Crystal Arch, but I simply reach out and rip Diablo's lower jaw and crush it into bloody paste.

I grab the demon's head and quickly pull out his soul and absorb it on the spot.

[Legendary Gacha Token(x6)]

Natsu flies through the hole and sees what happened.

"Aw, I missed it!" Natsu pouts.

I turn to face him. "Trust me, you didn't miss much."

Natsu lands next to me. "So, do we go home now?"

"Not just yet. There's one more thing I gotta try." I open my pocket space and take out my [Worldstone Fragment] and let it float upwards.

My hands glow gold and the shard glows the same color. From the horizon, multiple red lights can be seen quickly approaching as shards of varying sizes begin to converge on that one shard, purifying each other as it reunites.

Natsu's eyes comically widen as there is now a gigantic red crystal; so large that its shadow eclipses the entire realm.

"What the hell is that?!" Natsu exclaimed in shock.

"You have your souvenir, now I have mine." I smirked. "It's called the [Worldstone]. Think of it as this world's version of [Fairy Heart] but as a giant lacrima instead of a person. And it's coming with us."

"Coming with us!? Are you out of your mind!?" Natsu incredulously yells. "That thing is GIGANTIC!?"

[It seems Lucy's penchant for stating the obvious has rubbed off on him]

With a wave of my hand, the [Worldstone] above us began to shrink and descend.

Natsu watches as the red crystal slowly falls onto my open palm.

[Worldstone] - Rank: ?

An artifact said to have existed since the beginning of the universe. It is the foundation of all places and times, a nexus of realities. It possesses infinite power, able to shape reality or unmake worlds with but a thought without restriction. Demons and Angels used the stone to create worlds in their image. Inarius and Lilith used it to create Sanctuary and later it was used to alter the nephalem, making them grow weaker with each generation.

"Not so giant, now is it?" I put it in my [Inventory].

"You still haven't said why we're taking it, though." Natsu pointed out.

"It's too risky to leave something this powerful here for potentially anyone to take, and I have plenty of experience in dealing with artifacts of incredible power like this. Plus, you never know when it might come in handy." I said.

I press [ID: Escape] and we return back to my room in the inn. "And there we are. Back in Earthland with only a few minutes passing since we left."

"Thanks man. I can't wait to tell everyone what happened to me today!" Natsu says and quickly runs out of my room.

[Should we tell him he's still in his Etherious form?]

"And where's the fun in that?" I undo my transformation and collapse on my bed. "Anyway, I think I'm gonna take a nap. Being a [Super Saiyan] left me pooped."

[Get some rest, champ. You earned it]

I smile as my eyes grow heavier and heavier until they are closed shut. I quickly fall asleep as screaming and explosions can be heard in the background.

---

"... deus… Asmodeus."

"Mm…?" I slowly open my eyes and slowly turn to see the night sky from my window. "What time is it…?"

"It's just early evening."

"!" My eyes widen as I sharply turn to my left to see Irene snuggling next to me. "What are you doing here?"

"I originally came here to wake you up, but you weren't responding so I decided to join you in bed." Irene giggles. "You were so warm I couldn't help but doze off."

"Well, I'm awake now." I said.

Irene smiles. "Yes you are." She leans closer and gives me a passionate kiss.

My emotions go into overdrive as I can feel my arousal quickly rising to its limits.

Our tongues part but all I can taste is Irine's lust, her irises becoming vertical.

There's a sweet smell in the air, like a ripe citrus fruit. Did Irine put on some kind of incense…?

It smells… good.

"Now, time to fulfill my promise."

(Lemon start)

Irene gives me another kiss, however, unlike the previous kiss this one's much more tender and loving than before. Her tongue wraps itself around mine as they battle and sway, locking each other in an eternal struggle.

Irine slowly moves her soft delicate hands downwards until she grabs the large tent in my ruined pants.

"My, this feels painful. Let me set it free~" She grabs the edges of my pants and pulls, ripping them off with ease and feels something hard hitting her thigh.

"Huh!?" She takes the bedsheets off, revealing her beloved's 12-inch member. "It's… bigger than I imagined."

"Were you expecting something else?" I rhetorically asked.

"No… not at all." Irene smiles and begins to pump the shaft. "I'm surprised you managed to hide this beast from me. Now I get to have it all to myself~"

I gasp as her soft and tender fingers work their magic. I was never in a relationship in my past life. Who knew that the touch of a woman would feel this good!?

"How does that feel? My enchanted fingers can make any normal man cum in an instant. I'm impressed that you've lasted this long." However, she is suddenly grabbed by her shoulders as she sees her lover's eyes glow and the irises turn vertical.

Irene is pushed down as her lover climbs on top, letting his manhood sink in between her impressive tits. She saw his body grow bulkier as black scales formed on his forearms and face.

"Suck." He grunted out. His voice is horse and much deeper.

"Oh my…" Irene licks her lips at the sight of the large cock before it gets driven into her mouth.

He quickly picks up speed, pumping his cock in and out of Irene's mouth. Her tongue would lick the head everytime he pulled back and then the rest of the shaft when he pushed forward.

*Surrph! Surrph! Surrph!*

He enjoyed the wet tightness of the queen's throat, how it fought against him briefly before granting him entry. Her esophagus wrapped around the head of his dick as it reached the end of her throat with every thrust. Her lips pushed onward past his cock with softness followed by a wet tongue and glorious grip.

The sensation is addicting, and he loved every second of it.

*Garkh! Garkh! Garkh!*

Irene unconsciously tries to swallow which just makes the walls in her throat close around his cock. She watches as he grasps her hair with such vice as he continues to thrust his cock with more force. Despite the pain she was in, she couldn't be more aroused. Her mind transmitted pleasure instead of pain, rather than telling her to push him away it makes her move closer.

'You like my throat, don't you?' Irene thought sensually as she vigorously licked his girth. 'I love the taste of your cock in my mouth.'

The addicting pleasure from the throat fucking is becoming too much for me. Even with the sex traits, it doesn't compare to having actual experience which I don't have. I grab her tits as I let out a loud moan, the pressure building faster and faster.

"I'm… cumming!" I grab her head with both hands and thrust my dick all the way before shooting an ocean of whiteness straight down her throat and right into her stomach.

"!" Irene struggles as she feels her stomach swelling from the constant stream of cum that seems to never end.

After a whole minute passes, he slowly pulls his cock out of the dragon queen's mouth as leftover spunk leaks out of her mouth and nose.

I lean back as I take a deep breath. "That… that was amazing."

Irene lets out a cough. "Your cum is so thick I almost drowned." She then sees his still-hard cock. "I see that you're still up for more."

"Get on all fours and stick your ass out."

Irene did as she's told, leaving her ass on full display.

"What a nice ass. So juicy." I spank her huge ass.

"Ah~" Irene moaned.

"And soft. I wanna hit it more." And I did just that, spanking both of her round cheeks until they turned completely red.

The more he spanks her ass, the more aroused Irene became. "More, spank me more!"

"You like the pain, don't you? You love it." I growled.

"Yes, yes I do! It hurts so good!" Irene yelled.

"You masochistic queen. Your daughter clearly gets it from you." I teased. "You redheads are such huge sluts but hide it under a mask of indifference. I bet holding that back for so long must be driving you crazy."

"Yes, it's been so hard. I can't take it anymore!"

"Then beg me, slut. Spread your ass out and show me just how much you crave it." I told her.

Irene pulls her ass cheeks revealing her asshole and dripping pussy. "Master… I feel so empty. Please fill me with your godly cock. Fuck this horny queen, fill both of her holes with your mighty seed."

"Good job, now here's your prize." I said as I grabbed my cock in one hand and her ass cheek with the other and brought them closer. The thick tip touches the soft and wet pussy lips before pushing further, slowly parting them until I shoved it in completely.

The moment I entered her pussy, it felt like my cock was kept in a warm vice-grip that squeezed tightly against it, and Irene moaned loudly at the feeling.

"Master, your cock feels so good!" Irene moaned in pleasure, her mind immediately clouded with lust and pleasure. "Please, fuck this shameless slut to your heart's content!"

"Fuck, your so tight! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a virgin!" I moan as I continue thrusting.

I fuck the dragon MILF with all of my might. My instincts tell me to dominate, to tame this female and make my personal cocksleeve.

And I listened.

I push my cock deeper, piercing her womb with every thrust causing Irene to moan loudly in ecstasy as her tongue hangs out of her mouth.

"Look at you, moaning like a horny bitch in heat." I grinned in amusement. "I bet your husband couldn't even make you cum."

"Don't talk to me about that failure of a man. He was only good for bringing Erza to the world!" Irene yells while moaning loudly. "Make me your bitch! Break this queen out of her loneliness!"

"That's right, you're mine! Mine alone!" I immediately started to thrust back and forth into her pussy, groaning in pleasure from how tight it was. Irene was even worse, as she had a genuine ahegao or "fucked silly" expression on her face with her tongue sticking out.

Deciding to take it a step further, I used one of my hands to reach and grab one of her large and bouncing breasts, while using my other hand to repeatedly spank her as I continued to fuck her.

"You're not a dragon, you're a dog! A dog that needs serious training!" I yelled.

"I'm a dog! I'm your personal bitch! Use my body however you please!" Irene responds.

"You just love being fucked like a common whore, don't you?" I rhetorically asked. "Well good, because tending to my sexual needs is gonna be a common duty of yours from now on!"

"YES! I will tend to your needs every day, master!" Irene screamed.

I can feel an orgasm coming, and the only thing on my mind was giving it all to Irene. And Irene could feel it, too.

"Cum inside me, master! Fill me… mark me with your seed!" Irene exclaims lustfully, making my cock grow from the building pressure. Her cervix sucked his cock deeper, sneering it so that it couldn't escape its meaty walls.

"Get ready…! Here it comes!"

Fill me! Fill my womb with your divine seed!" Irene screams as she holds onto the bed's edges.

I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her upwards, pushing my cock right into her womb and filling it to the brim with cum.

"Urhhh! Uhhhh!" I moan, biting the back of the sexy redhead. The face of Irene showed a woman utterly fucked, droll dripping from her lips while pink hearts appear in her eyes.

Like last time, the orgasm lasts for a full minute. I let go of Irene and she collapses on the mattress, pure ecstasy written on her face.

I pull my cock out of her pussy and a geyser of white soon follows, causing her body to twitch erratically.

Yet my dick is as hard as ever.

I then eyed her other hole and my arousal skyrocketed.

Without missing a beat, I take my cock and quickly push it in her asshole causing Irene to jump in pain from the sudden insertion.

"What… what are you…?" Irene isn't able to finish as her mind is overtaken by pleasure.

"You left yourself open, and this little hole was just begging to be filled." I said as I thrust my dick deeper. "Shit! You're so much tighter in this hole, Irene!"

"Ahh! Ahh!" Irene moans. It's obvious that she wasn't used to taking it the ass, but it seems that she was getting used to it.

I feel my cock sucked inside Irene's tight rectum, much more than with her pussy. It's so hard to move.

"I can feel your cock stretching my intestine. It feels so good." Irene moans.

"Damn, you're one kinky bitch."

I soon get adjusted to Irene's tight butt and start to move. Her soft ass collided with my pelvis with every thrust. Minutes went by, and I mastered the MILF's tight body, picking up the speed of my movements as Irene soon matched my rhythm.

"Yes, twist my insides! Turn my whole body into your personal sex toy!" Irene moaned.

"I love your ass, Irene! It's so fucking tight!" I moaned.

I thrust deep and hard, not giving Irene a second of rest. She screams in pleasure, her anus stretched in ways she never thought possible. I watch the big booty this MILF has, bouncing, jiggling freely with every thrust in a hypnotic way, and fucked her deeper and deeper.

"I'm… cumming!" I moan before climaxing in her ass.

"AAAAHHHH~!" Irene screams as she feels his cum traveling around her intestines.

"I… can't stop cumming." I moaned and spank her. "I'm so lucky to have a woman with such a great ass."

After a long and filling orgasm, I slowly pull my cock out of Irene's stuffed anus. My cock was messy and soft, covered in mine and Irene's juices.

Irene herself let out a quiet moan, feeling her butt leaking a good quantity of her lover's thick dick milk.

She slowly turns to her alpha, her hair messy and eyes red from the tears, but she still retains her refined beauty.

"Let me… clean you up." Irene moves in and starts suck my dick, bobbing her head up and down.

"Fuck…" I moan as I caress her messy red hair.

Irene soon finishes with a loud pop, revealing my clean cock hard and ready to go.

"Wanna go another round?" I ask my queen.

Pink hearts appear in Irene's eyes as she gives me a smile full of lust.

The rest of night was turned into a long session with the two of them fucking nonstop, eching the entire room with their sent as they tried out various sexual positions.

(Lemon end)

When daylight came, the room's a complete mess, the mattress especially, having been almost ripped apart by the lovers' monstrous strength and sprayed with their internal juices.

The perspective switches to the aforementioned lovers, their bodies spread across the ruined mattress, each using the remains of the sheets to cover themselves. They also have bite marks/hickeys all over their bodies.

"Hm…" I slowly open my eyes, and quickly shut them because of the sudden light. "Too bright…"

[Well, looks like the beast finally woke up~]

I slowly get up and clean the sleep dust off my eyes. "Agh… what are you talking about?" My eyes slowly regain focus and I'm met with broken furniture. "What happened?"

[You happened. Well, you and Irene. You two went crazy last night with all the hardcore nonstop sex]

"We did? I don't remember…" I said.

[I'm not that surprised. You got taken over by your dragon and Saiyan instincts. Your body was pretty much on autopilot at that point. And Irene's strong pheromones didn't help the situation either]

"Pheromones… oh that citrus scent." I said, slowly starting to remember.

[Normally {Gamer's Mind} would prevent that, but the skill was overwhelmed by the primal instincts of said races. I'll have to update the system so that this doesn't happen]

"Irene got a tight piece of ass."

[Yeah, not a bad way to lose your virginity, though you could've done better]

A light moan catches my attention and I soon turn to Irene who greets me with a smile.

"Morning, stud. Did you have a nice dream?" Irene asks.

"You were in it, so yeah." I replied, causing her to giggle.

"That's good because I couldn't stop thinking about you." She gets up and caresses my abs. "You were such a beast, marking my body in every way imaginable."

"Same goes for you. Among other things." I said, eyeing the destroyed room.

"True." Irene admits with a shrug. "I'm famished. I could go for some breakfast. How about you?"

I nod. "Sounds good to me."

"I wasn't talking about food." Irene purrs as she grabs my cock.

You are insatiable, woman." I half-whispered.

However, before anyone makes a move, the wall in front of them bursts outwards as Jellal lands on their bed, his face covered in burns and bruises.

[What the fuck?]

"What the fuck?" I said before using [Nemesis] to create bathrobes for myself and Irene.

A figure walks out of the hole revealing Natsu covered in red flames.

And he is NOT happy.

"I'll kill you, you bastard!" Natsu screams as black markings appear on his body. However, he is soon stopped by a karate chop in the head.

"Enough. I won't tolerate this childish tantrum so early in the day. So either you calm down or I'll strip you of your magic. Am I clear?" Irene said, her words carrying the authority suited for a queen.

"Y-Yes." Natsu smutters, shrinking under Irene's intense gaze.

"Hmph." Irene ties the robe before turning her attention to her lover checking on Jellal. "How is he?"

"Bruised and burned but his [Aura] is already taking care of it." I said.

"I'm… sorry." Jellal said.

Natsu hears this and just gets angrier. "You have no right to apologies!"

I stand up. "Okay, can somebody explain what the fuck is going on here?"

"He broke up with Erza!" Natsu screamed out.

"What?" I said, confused. Erza and Jellal broke up? That doesn't make any sense.

"I had to… I had to do it…" Jellal groaned and he slowly got up.

"You had no right! Not after everything she went through!" Natsu argued.

"It's because of that I broke up with her!" Jellal yells. "Can't you understand!? We can't be together!"

"Bullshit! That's bullshit and you know it!" Natsu roared.

[It seems we've stepped on a landmine]

"Where is Erza now?" Irene asks.

Natsu's anger diminishes as he turns to Irene. "She's gone. She ran out of the inn. The others went after her."

Irene takes a deep breath. "... I see."

Still, it doesn't make any sense. After all Jellal and Erza have been through, all the battles, the ordeals, the tragedy. All that they've been through together, it would make sense for the two to be together.

'What would make Jellal do this? Something's not adding up here.' I turn to the blue-haired mage. "Can you at least explain why you broke up with Erza? You said you had to, but never told why."

"What does it matter?! This bastard likely just did it to hurt Erza, just like he did for years with the Tower of Heaven!" Natsu yelled in anger, causing the look of guilt in Jellal's eyes to grow.

"Even for you Natsu, that's low." I told him. "Look, I understand your anger given how close you two are, but I doubt Jellal would do this for no apparent reason, let alone a good reason."

"Yes, please explain." Irene said with an icy tone. While she and Erza may never be a family, there's still a part of that cares for her daughter. Plus, seeing this situation reminds her too much of her own past, when that scum she was forced to marry tried to kill her.

She didn't want anyone to experience that kind of betrayal, especially her own flesh and blood.

Jellal sighs. "I did have feelings for Erza, since we were little. But after all of the sins I've committed, I felt like I didn't deserve her. And when I learned what happened to Tenrou Island, my world simply shattered to pieces. I just wanted to die in my cell, I tried to kill myself but the guards always stopped me. Eventually, I gave up and resigned to just let time do the world for me." He said.

"You… you tried to kill yourself…?" Natsu mutters in shock and horror.

Irene's eyes widened. 'This boy…'

"It was only thanks to Ultear and Meredy that I was able to get back on my feet, working to take out dark guilds and the legacy of Zeref to not only atone for my mistakes but in hopes of being someone Erza could be proud of. They helped me to move on from Erza, to let her go as opposed to mourning her for the rest of my life." Jellal explains. "But when I heard you all came back, I was conflicted on how to feel because I had moved on. I tried to rekindle my own feelings for Erza, telling myself that I still loved her after all of these years." He then sighs. "It was only until after Gears trapped me in that fantasy world that I realized my mistake."

"Gears? What did he show you?" I ask, remembering his explanation on how his pods trapped their victims into their ideal worlds before getting absorbed.

"I was shown my ideal life, the life I desired most in the world." He began. "I was living in a comfy home, happily married with two little boys."

"... but Erza wasn't in your fantasy, was she?" Irene surmised.

"No, she wasn't." Jellal confirmed.

"Who was it, then?" I asked.

"It was Meredy." Jellal reveals, shocking Natsu and I.

"Meredy…? You mean you broke Erza's heart for that!?" Natsu yells as he prepares to attack.

"Shut it, Natsu!" I exclaimed.

"She and Ultear help me get over my depression. They understood me better than anyone else and overtime developed a close bond. But as the years went by, Meridy and I grew particularly close and we spent a night together." Jellal revealed. "After you guys returned, I tried to suppress my rising feelings for Meredy and tried to be the man Erza wanted, but after what I experienced in that fantasy world, I realized I was lying to myself and hurting Erza all this time."

[Wow… I'm at a loss for words]

"You stupid fuck. Why weren't you honest from the start?" I asked.

"I wanted to, but I couldn't even if I tried. I couldn't afford to hurt Erza again." Jellal argued.

"But in the end you did just that. You hurt Erza and you hurt yourself for continuing this sham of a relationship. Do you think Erza's gonna think any less of you if she knew you had moved on? She probably already knew and didn't say anything." I said.

Jellal's eyes widened. "What!?"

"The Titania may be many things, but she isn't stupid. Seven years is a long time to wait for someone, after all." I said. "But like a selfish dumbass, you decided to just flat out tell her out of the blue without so much of an explanation and now it's up to us to pick up the pieces."

Jellal looks down, clearly ashamed. "I'm sorry."

I sigh. "Look, I'm not angry with you. I'm just disappointed with your behavior. I honestly expected something like this from Natsu because he's an idiot (Natsu: Hey!)." I point to my head. "You could have handled this better but it's clear that you're not as smart as I hoped."

"Are you trying to ridicule me or counsel me?" Jellal spat out.

I shrug. "Not sure. Never done something like this before, but I get the feeling I'll be doing it a lot." I stand up and turn to Natsu and Irene. "I'll go look for Erza, you two stay here and watch over Jellal."

"As if! I'm coming with you!" Natsu exclaims. "Erza is part of my family! I'm not leaving her when she's in so much pain!"

"I will stay. My presence would probably just upset her more." Irene said.

"Fine. Let's go, Natsu." I said.

Natsu arches an eyebrow. "Are you going out dressed like that?" He gestures to the bathrobe.

"Good point. Let's fix that." Darkness begins to cover my body before it dissipates.

His outfit consists of a black coat with crimson-colored linings and trimmings, coupled with a gray blazer and a buttoned white shirt underneath it, long with a cravat terminated by a ring tied around his neck. He wears black pants as well as knee-length black boots. (AN: It's Hajime Nagumo's adventurer outfit).

"This will do for now." I said stretching my limbs.

"You look like an edgelord." Natsu bluntly comments.

'How the fuck does he know what an edgelord is?' I thought. "Let's just go." I walk out of the room.

"Wait!" Natsu soon follows after him.

"Take care of Erza." Jellal said.

The two of us walk out of the inn and run in search of Erza.

However, unknown to either of them, someone's watching from his seat as drinks a cup of coffee.

"Hm, Fairy Tail is as carefree as ever. I'd expect nothing less." He said.

"..." The hooded figure next to him standing silently like a statue.

"Even when they barely manage to survive the wrath of a god, they still manage to persevere with a smile on their faces, just like a long time ago." He puts his cup down.

The hooded figure said nothing.

The viewpoint changes revealing a lanky man with silver hair that is very disheveled and unorganized, and sloppily styled into a mohawk. He has a beard and sideburns and wears a fur-collared, dark purple jacket emblazoned with the Grimoire Heart guild emblem.

"Run my dear fairies, run." He puts his hand on his jacket pocket and takes a brilliant gray gem. "Because soon there won't be anything left of you."

Here's another chapter of Grand Journey. This one isn't as long as the last one. Bet you weren't expecting that twist with Jellal, were you? Although I did hint it back in part 4, that doesn't matter.

The sex scene was probably the hardest part about the chapter. I was recommended a ton of different sources for inspiration by Omni and triscythe, and I was still struggling.

If you like it, that's wonderful. If you don't, I don't care. Everyone has the right to their own opinion.

I also decided to drop the schedule for updates, it's not working for me.

Anyways, that's pretty much it.

Peace~
