Chapter 145: The Origin of the Chess Game
Woz felt a little speechless at the chess player's remarks, no matter how he said it, he was one of the three giants of the dignified Balham League, but the Six Demon Generals were easily evaluated by the other party as a "weak chicken", as if he was a character who could be handled casually.

However, Woz also knew that the Six Demon Generals looked powerful, but for Fairy Tail, it was really not too much of a threat.
It is rumored that each member of the Six Demon Generals has the strong strength to destroy a mage guild by himself. However, the guild referred to here is obviously not a first-class guild such as Fairy Tail or Snake Scales or Teal Pegasus, but a small and medium-sized guild with weak strength.
Most of their fame was achieved through the elimination of many small and medium-sized formal guilds. However, on the other hand, looking at the tail of the goblin, there is no shortage of knives with the dark guild, saying that it can single-handedly challenge the strength of the entire dark guild, and there are many people in the tail of the goblin. Not to mention a few S-class magicians, Natsu and Gray can do it, and Gajiru often did this kind of thing when he was the Ruler of the Ghosts.
What's more important is that the Six Demon Generals have no Holy Tenth level powerhouse who can fight against President Makarov.
Whether it is Hades, the Demon Heart Leader, or Maldoko, the Acting Leader of the Gates of Hades, they are all super powerhouses far beyond the ordinary Saint Ten level. And even if Brian becomes the personality model and becomes the true leader of the Six Demon Generals, it will be difficult for him to reach the level of the other two.
And the reason why he judged that the Six Demon Generals were not strong was that they were the only guild among the Big Three of Barham that had nothing to do with the chess game at all!
According to the player's explanation, this game dominated by the gods is the highest level of power duel in the world of Aslant.
In addition to the official players who were chosen, there were many extraterritorial extraneous people who tried to meddle in it, and the most powerful people in the world would know more or less about the game, especially in the dark world - yes, Woz had always thought that it was just a game that was being played in the shadows was not as mysterious as he thought, no wonder even Laxus knew something about it.
And after knowing the existence of the chess game, the vast majority of strong people will want to join it. Because the winner of the game will receive a reward that they cannot refuse - the blessing of immortality, that is, the "blessing of Axellam".
In the first two games, a large number of fanatics who wanted to live forever rushed to the board one after another, trying to replace the original opponent and achieve the final victory. But they were met with terrifying opponents like the Black Dragon King, Akunororia, and the Dark Archmage Jerph. All the re-encores of the game were strangled mercilessly. In the stories that have been handed down, these deeds have contributed to the infinite murderous fame of Akunorolia and Jelf, but the truth is hidden in the canonical history, and some clues can only be seen in the wild legends of the dark world.
So by the third generation, the game had become a legend that had been almost forgotten by the world.
The only people who still keep the secrets about the game are the people and organizations related to the players of the past generations.
The dark guild that chess players fear the most is the heart of the demons, and he even does not hesitate to deal with them personally, precisely because the heart of the demons is the only organization that can threaten the chess game, and their leader Hades is the most likely person to replace the chess player or Woz as the current opponent!
Hades, or Presito, one of the four founders of Fairy Tail and a follower of the second-generation opponent Mebius, is also one of the strongest "pawns" in her hands. That is, Presitto was well aware of the chess game from the very beginning.
When Mebis was alive, Presitto was a staunch advocate of playing chess, and he was willing to be a loyal pawn of Mebius. However, Mebis died before he could officially start playing against Jelf, ending the second game before it could even begin.
Unable to accept this fact, Presitto began researching the magic that would bring Mebis back to life. Like Jelf and Mebis, he began to explore the realm of the gods in advance.
And Presto is a genius no less than Jelf and Mebius, and in his continuous in-depth research, he finally discovered the inside story of Mebis's death - because he was too talented in magic, Jerf and Mebis began to study life and soul at a very early age, and made considerable progress! And this touches the bottom line of the gods, the blessing of immortality is the final reward prepared by the gods for the winner of the chess game, but the two players of the second generation of chess games have begun to contact that level of power before the chess game!
So in the end, they triggered an incomplete blessing and obtained the constitution of immortality, but it was not a blessing, but a curse - the curse of Axellam, they can live forever, but the life around them must die! And the more they love life, the more they love the people around them, the stronger the curse becomes!
This is a side effect of the "Blessing of Ankselam" and can be seen as punishment from the gods.
As a result, Presitto's research came to an abrupt halt. He knew he couldn't bring Mebis back to life. But then, his research direction began to shift, and he tried to replace Mebis as a player in the next chess game.
When loyalty and attachment faded, ambition and fantasies took over the heart of this genius magician.
Preshito left Fairy Tail and handed over the Grein's Deeds, then changed his name to put an end to Fairy Tail and his past. He re-established a new guild under the new name of Hades, "Devil's Heart", got rid of his former identity as a pawn, and began to collect his own chess pieces and become a "chess player".
Hades searched for Jelf's whereabouts in order to gain the secret of becoming a true player from his original magical teacher.
Then, he will replace Mebis and complete the game that has not been played.
Of course, before that, he needs a drill.
In order to prove that Hades has the qualifications to succeed Mebis, Hades planned the "Goblin Hunt" operation in his plan, so that his chess pieces showed the strength to completely suppress the goblins - this is the chess game arranged by Hades, the duel between his chess pieces and the chess pieces inherited according to Mebis's will, through this "ritual" to obtain the qualification to become a player!
What Hades didn't expect was that while he was concentrating on his plan, the third game unfolded unknowingly, and one of the contemporary players was still the same Woz, who often came to them for trouble. After confirming this information, Hades felt that it would be more convenient to go and kill Woz directly.
So he led the team to set off, but he was caught off guard by the people of the "Balance" organization on the way.
Looking at the Gate of Hades again, only in terms of strength, they are the strongest of the Big Three, if Hades's heart is not problematic, he is not afraid of Maldo, but due to the particularity that demons can be resurrected infinitely, the Nine Ghost Gates are definitely more difficult than the Seven Dependents of Purgatory!
But the problem is that the Gates of Hades, also known as "Jelf's Bookshelf", are themselves just pawns of Jelf, at best they are just pawns trying to kill the chess player, but have no ambition to replace them, and in terms of rank, they are one level short of the heart of the devil.
As for the Six Demon Generals, it has nothing to do with the chess game at all. That's why the players are a little dismissive of them.
The chess players who are fully mobilized have much more resources at their disposal than Woz, so this exchange is completely unilateral by the chess players, and Woz can only listen honestly.
In the end, Watts made a briefing on the main content of the meeting, which he was going to give to the president and a few S-class people to learn about together.
At this time, the whole city has begun to be covered in night, and the annual fairy festival parade is about to begin.
The atmosphere in the city is gradually reaching its climax, and unlike in previous years, this year's festival has a lot of magicians from other guilds across the country who rarely visit, and everyone wants to see what this guild that has defeated the Ghost Dominator is like.
The outbreak of the goblin civil war had shocked the wizards severely, and they certainly weren't going to be fooled like ordinary citizens or tourists, who knew very well that the elves were fighting in their tails.
But what people didn't expect was that after a lot of trouble in the city, the goblins continued to prepare for the next show as if nothing had happened! This made the foreign magicians can't help but wonder if they were making too much of a fuss? The reaction of the residents of the city was correct, this was really just the daily activity of the fairy tail?
The bewildered magicians can only continue to be confused for the next event.
On the outskirts of the city, Laxus and Thor's are saying goodbye.
Due to the punishment and temporary expulsion from the guild, Laxus did not participate in the celebration and prepared to leave directly.
The three of them were naturally reluctant to give up, and saw them off all the way outside the city, and even simply wanted to leave with Laxus.
"Alright, you can stay!" Laxus looked at them helplessly, "By the way, why didn't you see Woz?
Laxus shifted the subject.
Abba Greene recalled, "Hmm...... Woz's words, I heard that I just returned to the guild, so I hid it, saying that I was going to be locked up or something......"
Laxus was surprised: "Confinement, what is he going to confine?"
"No," Fielde explained, "No, Lord Wolds is talking about retreat, which seems to be a form of practice......," he shrugged, another wacky word of Woz's own coinage.
"Hmph, forget it then. I wanted to make an appointment to fight again. Laxus packed his bags, "You don't have to send it anymore, hurry back to the celebration, don't embarrass me!"
"Of course. Fillid bowed.
Pigust looked up at the sky: "It's okay, look at this cloud, it's going to rain soon, maybe the parade won't last long." ”
As the parade float prepares, Mira Jeanne looks at the sky worriedly: "It seems to be raining, what can I do?"
Kana beckoned, "Jubian, can you disperse this rain cloud?"
The blue-haired former rain girl stretched out her hand, felt it, and shook her head: "This is a thunderstorm, Zhu Bi'an can disperse the rain, but there is nothing he can do about the thunderstorm, and the thunderstorm will interfere with Zhu Bi'an's magic power......"
"So you can disperse the rain without the interference of thunder and lightning?" asked Mira Jeanne.
"Yes, Zhu Bi'an can do it!"
"Boom!"
As the girls were talking, they suddenly heard a thunderclap on the ground! Thinking it was raining, they raised their eyes to look. But he saw a thick pillar of golden thunder and lightning connecting the ground and the dark clouds in the sky, and then, countless blue-purple natural thunderbolts exploded in the clouds, like countless twisted strange snakes, attracted by the golden pillar of light, and finally guided down.
"The power of thunder and lightning is gone!" Zhu Bi'an looked happy, and waved his hand vigorously, and the dark clouds in the sky were completely dispelled, revealing a little bright starlight.
Outside the city, Laxus stood alone on a mound, his skin scaled and his body overflowing with destructive thunder and lightning energy.
He wiped his mouth: "Alright, the mana is replenished." ”
Suddenly, his eyes were cold: "What kind of person?
