Chapter 87: The Abyss Revealed & Unlikely Allies

  The world had already been through countless wars, but the Abyss was different. This was no mere force of nature or magic. It was an entity that devoured light, hope, and even memories, sinking them into the darkness of oblivion.

  Issei gritted his teeth. "A new threat, huh?"

  Nashi the Natsu, always the optimist, gave a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, Issei. If anyone can kick its ass, it’s you!”

  Ryan, the calm strategist, adjusted his glasses. “We need to find a way to contain the Abyss. If we don’t, we risk everything we’ve built here.”

  Suddenly, the ground cracked open beneath them, and a new portal appeared, glowing with purple energy. Out of it stepped a figure clad in dark armor.

  "Zeref?" Issei frowned.

  The man shook his head. "I am not Zeref. I am his ally." His voice was cold and emotionless. "And you will bow to the Abyss."

  Hawk, always ready to throw down, stepped forward. "Alright, another enemy. Let’s kick his ass and call it a day."

  But Zeref’s ally raised a hand, and the energy shifted. "You may think you’re prepared, but the Abyss has consumed entire worlds. No one will stand in its way."

  “Is that so?” Issei’s voice dropped, and his eyes glowed red. “You don’t get it, do you? This is my world now. And if you want it, you’ll have to go through me.”

  In that moment, Issei activated his Scared Oppai Gear, the aura surrounding him intensifying. The ground beneath them cracked as his power surged.
