"what!"
Hinata Hoshino looked at Gray. Gray seemed to have an inner demon emerging. This was not a ready-made scene for overcoming the tribulation. He could only observe and learn.
There are three major tribulations for a human immortal to break through to an earthly immortal: the human tribulation, the thunder tribulation and the tribulation of the inner demon.
Having traveled through many worlds, Hinata Hoshino became more and more curious about what his own inner tribulation should be like.
Sensory connection, Target Gray.
Suddenly, darkness appeared before Gray's eyes. He struggled hard in the darkness, his heart full of contradictions and conflicts.
The scene that emerged before Gray's eyes was the scene of Deliora attacking the village when he was a child.
Gray looked at his childhood appearance, Deliora's huge body, and the oppressive magic.
Despair, helplessness, and escape arose in Gray's heart...all these emotions almost broke Gray's heart.
Gray took a deep breath, holding on to all the emotions, and decided not to run away anymore, not to be controlled by his fear anymore.
Gray raised his head firmly and looked at Deliora with a determined face. Gray understood that perhaps only by defeating Deliora here could he gain true peace and let go of the past.
Gray closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind and get rid of the negative emotions that were bothering him.
Uru had taught him that as an ice wizard, he must remain calm during battle. Only by overcoming those negative emotions could he exert his full strength and defeat Deliora.
When Gray opened his eyes, he looked like he had after studying magic with Uru for a period of time.
Gray raised his hand and was about to release Absolute Ice, but Uru stood in front of Gray and raised his hand to slap Gray in the face.
"I'm sorry, Gray, I'm not a competent master and I didn't have time to discover the darkness in your heart."
"Uru! No, you are a good master. I can't live without you."
"That won't do, Gray. Go out for a walk. You are destined to have your own companions and build your own bonds. As for the haze in your heart, I, Uru, will take it. It will be absolutely frozen."
Gray stared at Ulu in a daze, with pearls falling from his eyes like broken strings. He began to lose track of whether what he saw was an illusion or reality.
Deliora was sealed in absolute ice. Gray stared blankly at the huge block of ice, and couldn't stop regretting in his heart. If he could be stronger, if he didn't challenge Deliora now, would Uru have survived?
Gray began to sink into the lake of his heart, which was a sign of closing himself off and seeking death.
Hinata Hoshino sighed lightly. It seemed that Gray had failed after all. He had the halo, but unfortunately he was not the protagonist, so he could only end up in regret.
"Young man, please come back later."
Hinata Hoshino pointed out that the Sutra of Purity was ready, and the scene of Gray Heart Lake took a sharp turn for the worse.
Hinata Hoshino sat down and looked at the picture in Gray's mind, which was the scene in the Fairy Tail Guild.
Gray was a little dazed. Where was this place?
"Hanging eyes, watch out!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you stinky fire!"
Gray blurted out according to his instinct, and then he realized that this was a guild.
So that's how it is, using bonds to fight against the darkness in one's heart, but does Hinata Hoshino have that? He asked himself, maybe he did.
"Yeah, we are Fairy Tail, how can we admit defeat here!"
The BGM seemed to ring in Hinata Hoshino's ears. It was such a passionate anime that it was really unbearable.
Judging from Gray's situation, he should be able to absorb the God-killing Magic Crystal smoothly, so there is no need to look at it any further.
His eyes swept towards the Ice God. According to the memories he had seen through the fragments of the Water God's divine personality, the Water God's daily routine was to sleep, play badly, eat tributes, and steal tributes from other gods...
It's a lazy life anyway, so why is the Ice God so hardworking and still thinking about how to find a new way to break through to a higher level?
Memories of Hinata Hoshino came to his mind, the scene of playing Go with Hei Xia Zi. At that time, Hinata Hoshino had already taken in the world of thieves.
Hei Xia Zi looked at Hinata Hoshino and had an indescribable feeling, as if the child had become an elder overnight, and even aged a lot.
"I feel like you've changed a lot all of a sudden."
"Really? Maybe the world is changing and I have to adapt to the trend."
Hinata Hoshino seemed to be hinting at something, and Hei Xia Zi seemed to understand, but it also seemed as if he was just asking casually.
"In a sense, you, me and my brother are all centenarians. My brother has been losing his memory, but you are different. I want to ask you, what belief do you rely on to live?"
"Oh my, you're still so young, but you're already feeling sad about the passing of time. Three of three, point three."
"Your chess style is really incomprehensible."
"My friends taught me everything. There is no fixed way."
"My life is like a floating duckweed in the rain?"
"Almost. You don't need a goal in life. Just living is enough."
"That's right, I'm the one who's sad, and you're the one who lost."
"what!"
Hinata Hoshino easily slaughtered Hei Xia Zi's dragon. Hei Xia Zi looked like he had suffered a great blow, but Hinata Hoshino didn't buy it and turned away.
Hinata Hoshino looked at Gray who was about to succeed and sighed softly. He was still idle. If there were only forty-eight hours before General Te's death, how could he have such idle time?
The temple collapsed and melted away bit by bit, and Gray shouted, "Ah!"
After successfully mastering the Ice God-killing Magic, Hinata Hoshino pointed at the avalanche in the sky and said, "Gray, you have to deal with the consequences of your own actions."
"Alright, I'm very strong now! The condensation of the Ice God!"
"click click"
Black ice condensed in all directions, and the avalanches in the sky were also frozen. Gray was very proud, standing with his hands on his hips as he looked at the scene he created.
"I'm so damn strong!"
Then Gray fell to the ground with a smile on his face, his magic power was exhausted.
Hinata Hoshino shook his head and left with Gray. As for the Ice Temple behind them, it was gone.
Hinata Hoshino snapped his fingers, and flames enveloped the snow valley, melting the black ice in an instant, with good quality.
The fused snow water condensed again. The skills attached to the Ice God's divinity were quite good.
They just happened to meet Natsu and his two companions. None of them knew how to use the pumpkin carriage, so they looked at each other in amazement, and finally decided to wait for Hinata Hoshino to come back.
There is no village in front and no shop behind near the snow mountain. There is no transportation available, not to mention that there is a wounded person like Macao.
Hinata Hoshino smiled helplessly, "Get in the car, let's go!"
“Roar!”*4
"father!"
Hinata Hoshino suddenly had an urge to agree. It was an instinct. The university dormitory took care of the supreme honor of lunch and dinner.
"Romeo!"
Maceo hugged Romeo tightly, and Romeo did the same, crying bitterly.
"Dad, I don't want to compare these things anymore. It's meaningless. It's better for me to be by your side."
"It's too late, Romeo. I am a very strong father. I defeated nineteen monsters. Not one or two, but nineteen!"
"Yes, I know. I will tell all my friends tomorrow that my father defeated nineteen monsters."
Hinata Hoshino looked at the other three people. Lucy lost her mother, Natsu lost his adoptive father, and Gray's father was still at the gate of Hades. The three of them could not make up a pair of parents. It was a pure joke from hell.
Chapter 267 Team formation
"dong dong dong dong"
The sound of heavy footsteps came closer and closer. The air in Fairy Tail, which was filled with a joyful atmosphere, suddenly became stagnant, as if a flood or a beast was approaching.
Lucy looked at everything in front of her in confusion, not daring to breathe, "Ms. Mira, what's going on? And Hoshino, what's on the tray? Why are you so mysterious?"
"My big customer is coming back. Let's see if I can get some money from her."
"Her? Who is she?"
"It's Erza. Her nickname is the Fairy Queen."
"Is that the Fairy Queen Erza who looks so handsome, wearing armor and has red hair?"
"That's her. How did Lucy know that?"
Mira smiled at Lucy and glanced at Hinata Hoshino. Hinata Hoshino smiled back at Mira and shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.
"It's a magic magazine! Look, this issue, Erza is still on the cover."
"Oh? When did it happen? Let me check it out."
Hinata Hoshino leaned over, and I have to say the photo was great, perfectly bringing out Erza's heroic appearance.
“The shot doesn’t poke the needle!”
"Yeah! I'm really looking forward to seeing Erza in person!"
"Lucy, admiration is the furthest distance in the world. Erza might make you feel like a mother."
"What do you mean?"
"My youth is over! Oh!"
"Xingye, don't talk nonsense."
Mira smiled professionally, but Lucy found it very amusing.
"It's not a bad thing."
"Boom"
Kicking the door open, Erza walked into the guild holding the monster's horn.
"I'm back. Is the president here? And Hoshino, where's my strawberry cake?"
"so beautiful!"
"Of course Lucy, Erza has always been beautiful since she was a child."
"Why? What about me?"
