Lionel was amused by the expressions of horror on both the father and his son, plus he found their background very interesting as well, the son was old man while the father looked like a teenager, from the point of view of ordinary humans they would never believe such a thing, but it is indeed true.

Lionel was thinking of gathering the grieving family into his shadow army, except for the mother, of course, because she would be his woman...

Lionel came to this empire for many goals, most notably the recovery of Erza's mother after treating her negative condition and rehabilitating her as a real mother or perhaps a good wife as well, then the second goal is to obtain the black arts of Zeref in addition to his mana. He felt very close to reaching the Level 4 system, only Zeref's abilities can speed that up in this world, regardless of Acnologia, Zeref has the most powerful mana in this world.

Other objectives vary from collecting harems to gathering shadow soldiers, from now on the beautiful women will be in his harem and strong men in his shadow army, lucky men will be his subordinates, and the trash that can't even be recycled will belong to the death.. This is Lionel's emblem from now on, the curses go to the hell, about love, he will love them of course after they are completely his, so he will not think about such nonsense anymore and will live exactly as he wants.

Lionel's brow wrinkled after seeing the flourishing life in the capital, it was full of people.

Lionel began to descend to the ground, he was sure that Zeref would dare to fight him even if he knew he had no chance against him, since he didn't want to involve civilians on a battlefield he decided to go down on the roof of Zeref's palace and wait for the emperor to come to welcome him, after all, until the emperors they should bowing before him.

Lionel didn't wait long for a young man to appear in front of him. Although his real age is already in the hundreds of years, Zeref has a very young appearance, this was indeed immortality, something that every creature in the universe sought for and only a few reached, even though this type an immortality is extremely poor and full of overwhelming side effects, yet it is still immortality that people will kill each other for to obtain it even after knowing its side effects.

He wore a red high collar and black robes decorated with gold, along with a large flowing white toga wrapped around his torso.

He had short black hair and blacker eyes, those eyes looked like an abyss of ink but that didn't bother Lionel at all, Lionel was still keeping his apathetic smile as if he was looking at pebbles on the side of the road and not one of the most affected characters in his life previous.

Regarding the above, since Lionel returned to his true identity he seems more and more indifferent to anything except what he owns and this is a fact he knows very well but does not care.

Zeref looked at the monster in human skin in front of him with extreme caution, only now did he realize that he had underestimated this strange man, could he even be considered a creature? Zeref was wondering inwardly, thinking that a god had come down to personally punish him, and it seemed that he wasn't too far from the truth.

"Who are you? And what do you want from coming to my empire?"

If it was someone who was weaker than him or even as strong as him and like Acnologia, he wouldn't waste time talking boring at all, he would have attacked the moment he saw him, but this person in front of him is completely different , he can't even measure his strength level, he doesn't even see any kind of mana inside this man body, at first glance any mage he saw might think that he did not possess any mana, in fact, he did not possess any mana yet, but the pressure emanating from his body was more terrifying than any kind of mana in existence.

"Oh, You don't really need to know who I am, In terms of what I want to do here... Hmm! Nothing just some routines I'll finish quickly and come back"

Lionel was using his pinky finger to clean his ear while answering Zeref's question.

When he saw that the person in front of him doesn't put him in his eyes at all, Zeref's anger grew to the extreme while his iris started to glow an extremely dark and sinister red, no matter how powerful the other party was, he was going to teach him a tough lesson about morals, after all the other party dared to enter his lair, the Black Wizard's Lair and the Emperor of Spriggan no matter how strong he was would be sure to kick his ostentatious ass here.

His usual calmness went out of the window and the crooked personality he had always kept in the depths of his soul emerged, this human being mocking him!

He will surely make him pay for it, after all, no one comes close to him and stays alive to tell the tale, besides he is immortal, so why should he fear an unknown just because he is a bit stronger than him?

A malicious mist began to emanate from Zeref, the mist was terrifyingly black. Any normal person would turn to ash the moment this black mist touched him, this is because it is one of the most terrifying forbidden arts in history, containing the most powerful death energy in the world, it is absolutely the most dangerous Magic Caster possessed by Zeref within his black arts, black magic Ankhseram, the turbulent black miasma began to spurt in all directions from Zeref as a center, anything touched by the black mesma dies and decomposes in a matter of seconds, the surface of the palace was not desolate, it contained plant areas rich in life, and the moment the black mesma passed there was no more life to be seen, Lionel's expression still remained apathetic even after he was surrounded by the mesma from all sides but when the horor attack touched him it was stopping , yes it stopped as if it touched an indestructible existence. Lionel became annoyed by the disgusting air the one who came with this attack and casually waved his hand creating strong winds that drove all the black mesma away, when he saw this, Zeref's expression didn't change as he expected something like this, after al he hadn't live for more than 400 years for nothing, he could sense an enormous amount of physical strength that created this fierce wind just by waving his hand.

(Could this person be a Storm God or something!)

Zeref was inwardly wondering about the identity of this anomaly, how could a human without mana create a winds storm stronger than Caster wind magic with just the ordinary wave of his hand!

Zeref was really troubled, but he still attacked again, this time using fire magic with time magic, could he escape without getting injured if he was attacked before he defended! This is what Zeref was looking forward to seeing.

Lionel sensed an anomaly in the law of time around him, he felt that the world around him was getting faster and before he reacted he would have been plunged into a fiery inferno, had he used his observation haki earlier he wouldn't have been attacked at all but he wanted to fight with his body only without any spiritual powers or mentality or superpowers, so he fell into the enemy's time trap so smoothly that, even Zeref himself didn't expect this, he could see Lionel engulfed in fiery inferno he shot from outside the time bubble with a pleasant look on his face, even if he didn't dies from this attack he will lose a layer of skin, that was Zeref's thinking at this moment.

The loud explosions from the imperial palace drew the attention of civilians and members of the empire for sure, the civilians hurried to withdraw towards their homes quietly under the organization of the security members. Everyone knew that the emperor was fighting at this moment but they didn't know who the person was fighting with the emperor but everyone was sure that no matter what, he would definitely regret a fight their emperor.

Suddenly a sandstorm appeared, covering half of the imperial palace, and it heard a crazy laugh from the sandstorm.

"Hahahahaha, who would have thought that in this world there is a crazy person like me to get the balls to fight the emperor?"

Particles of sand condensed into a dark-skinned, relatively muscular young man of medium height, with brown, large and thick hair, sticking out wildly in every direction. Carrying the symbol of Alvarez's empire under his right shoulder, he wears a thin, light gold fabric tied around his neck and upper torso, leaving his bare chest and stomach exposed, instead of the traditional shirt, as well as large brown pants... This outfit stands out with two large brown ball earrings in both ears, intricately designed gold bracelets on each wrist, and gold ribbons on each of his biceps, complemented by gold sandals with a clasp and a gold scarf that holds an eye on the area covering his forehead.

"Why don't you look a little less flashy next time, your sand is holding me back."

A charming female voice could be heard throughout the capital, out of nowhere a giant's shadow covered many houses and prevented sunlight from reaching them, next to the imperial palace appeared the alluring figure of a giant woman, even Lionel inside the fiery inferno could see two huge breasts like two moons above his head, The breasts were milky white, but unfortunately, the nipples were covered!
