Chapter 2888 Zeref intercepts the Jealousy and Sloth Witch Factors!

Although from the outside perspective.

Only a moment has passed since they entered the Council of Stars.

But in the Council of Stars, a mysterious space independent of time and space.

But it was a full 24 hours.

During the time we wait for Zeref and Subaru.

Perona, Aizen, and Joseph were naturally not idle.

Instead, they kept an eye on what was happening over there while chatting casually.

The main power of discourse naturally fell to the lively and energetic Perona.

She vividly described to Aizen and Joseph the ongoing 'Top 100 Tournament' on Starfish, as well as the various interesting things she had experienced in her life.

Joseph listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exaggerated exclamations and sarcastic remarks, providing plenty of emotional value.

Aizen, on the other hand, maintained a gentle smile throughout, listened quietly, and occasionally asked questions that went straight to the point.

It always makes Perona rack her brains for ages.

In the blink of an eye.

More than five hours passed quietly.

Just then.

The magic circle that had been spinning at Jelf's feet suddenly stopped and disappeared.

next second.

His figure transformed into a cloud of black mist and appeared in the Scorpio seat next to Aizen.

This sudden turn of events brought Perona and Joseph's casual conversation to an abrupt end.

Aizen tilted his head slightly, gazing at Zeref, whose breathing was steady, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "It seems the process went smoothly."

"really."

Jelf calmly nodded in acknowledgment.

A sense of satisfaction as a scholar appeared on his stern face.

"The difficulty was unexpectedly low, but the rewards were unexpectedly high."

"The two witch factors within Natsuki Subaru have given me a deeper understanding of 'concepts'."

After saying that, Jelf slowly raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

Two dreamlike wisps of smoke appeared out of thin air in his palm.

One was purplish-black, the other pitch black; the two sometimes intertwined, sometimes separated.

“This is a sample of the ‘laziness factor’ and ‘jealousy factor’ that I extracted from him.”

Zeref turned his gaze to Natsuki Subaru, who had just slowly opened his eyes from his Aries seat.

Then, in a calm tone, he asked, "Consider this my payment for this, is that alright, Subaru-kun?"

Feeling an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort within his body, Natsuki Subaru quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Zeref with utmost respect.

"Of course, no problem!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is only right that you take these!"

Jelf smiled slightly and gestured for him to stand up:

"Now that the contract has been established, you can try again."

Upon hearing this...

Subaru Natsuki felt a surge of intense excitement and anticipation.

But it was also mixed with tension over the past excruciating pain.

He swallowed hard, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and tried to touch the Sloth Witch factor within his body.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred without the slightest delay.

A dark purple-black arm, as thick as an adult male's thigh.

Like a python bursting from the water, it suddenly emerged from its belly.

The surface of this arm was covered with thick shadows.

It also emitted wisps of black smoke, something never before seen.

Moreover, its length is astonishing, extending forward continuously, far superior to the previous defective product that was only as thick as an arm and stretched no more than three or four meters.

What made Subaru Natsuki tremble with excitement was

He didn't feel any pain!

The torment that felt like my soul was being torn apart completely disappeared.

Instead, it brings a sense of effortless ease and control.

"It's a success!"

Natsuki Subaru looked excitedly at the thick, long, shadowy arm in front of him.

Now I have another life-saving skill.

"Horo horo horo~"

"That's awesome, Subaru-nii!"

Perona, in her spirit form, happily did a somersault in mid-air.

Let's applaud and cheer for him.

Joseph couldn't help but whistle loudly.

Then Subaru Okinawa gave a thumbs up.

"Well done, buddy!"

"This thing looks way cooler than the old one!"

Unexpectedly, just as the two were celebrating for him, Natsuki Subaru suddenly exclaimed, "Wait!"

"It seems like there's still one inside me."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, a second, equally thick, purple, shadowy arm emitting black smoke emerged from his shoulder blades.

Two tentacles danced wildly in the air, exuding a chilling magical aura.

"He can actually control two?" Natsuki Subaru was both surprised and delighted.

At this moment, Jeff, who was sitting in the Scorpio seat, spoke up with a suggestion:

"I suggest you try moving the arm that's on your abdomen to your back as well."

"This is not only more visually appealing, but also reduces blind spots for attacks launched from the back during combat, making it easier for you to operate."

"Makes sense!"

Subaru Natsuki quickly did as instructed.

He focused his mind and pulled the arm that was extending out from his abdomen back into his body.

Then guide this power to extend out from the back again.

In the blink of an eye.

Two shadowy tentacles appeared behind Natsuki Subaru.

Coupled with his increasingly resolute gaze, he looked imposing and his aura had risen to a whole new level.

"This is incredible!"

"Your Majesty Jelf, you are simply a god!"

Natsuki Subaru waved his two tentacles in delight, his gratitude towards Zeref overflowing.

Jelf looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "As the 'sloth factor' in your body gradually increases, you should be able to create more arms in a while."

He paused, then added a suggestion: "Also, you should be careful, since you are using the 'sloth' power."

"Then in your daily life, you should try to get used to a 'lazy' lifestyle."

"For example, they often use these tentacles to serve you—to eat, dress, bathe, and even pick things up."

"In short, it's about making yourself dependent on them and becoming 'lazy'."

"Only in this way can your soul and behavior be more in tune with the concept of 'sloth,' unleash its full power, and accelerate the growth of the sloth factor."

Natsuki Subaru was taken aback by this rather bizarre suggestion.

Then, subconsciously, he manipulated the shadowy tentacle on his left back, mimicking his usual movements, gently stroking his chin and revealing a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this scene.

Aizen, sitting in the Gemini seat, let out a soft chuckle.

"It seems that this is not difficult for Subaru."

Natsuki Subaru heard this.

He immediately scratched the back of his head with the shadowy tentacle on the right.

He helplessly spread his hands and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Aizen."

"Maybe deep down, I still retain the soul of a 'homebody'."

"Back then, I would never sit down if I could lie down, and I would only go out occasionally when I needed to go to the convenience store."

"So being able to use tentacles to do things is simply the life I've always dreamed of!"

Everyone smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

Zeref then spoke, dropping a bombshell that sent a chill down Subaru's spine: "Besides that, I changed my mind while I was casting the spell for you."

"The original plan of 'Double Curse Weaving Technique' will be modified into 'Sevenfold'. Or it can also be called 'Seven Sins Curse Weaving Technique'."

"Huh?" Subaru Natsuki looked at him in confusion.
