All members of the Fairy Tail guild were arrested.
When Caesar and his men defeated Acnologia and returned to Hargeon Port from Sirius Island, they were surrounded by the Council's army, ready for battle.
"Wait…"
Master personally experienced that battle, and now he knew very well how terrifying the strength of Caesar, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, was.
Those original little thoughts had long since disappeared.
Now the Council wants to arrest Caesar and the others?
Isn't that like an old man drinking arsenic and seeking death?
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Caesar's outstretched hand.
He looked at Master and said calmly: "It's over, Master."
As he spoke, it was as if a switch set by Master was turned on, and the originally sealed memories instantly emerged.
Master was in a trance for a moment, and then he reacted.
Holy shit! I'm actually an undercover agent sent by Fairy Tail to the Council!
I'm actually from Fairy Tail!
Awesome!
The next moment, a flash of heat appeared in Master's eyes.
He looked at the Council Army with an indifferent expression, ready to fight if they didn't accept his defeat.
Just when Master was waiting for Caesar's order to roll up his sleeves, he saw Caesar say calmly: "We will not resist. If there is anything, go to the Council to talk."
Master thought: ...How about I change back to Doranbart temporarily?
Since Caesar took the lead in not resisting, the members of Fairy Tail did not resist either.
They obediently followed the Council's army and returned to the Council.
"Clang clang clang."
When Caesar stood at the trial seat, Gulan knocked the gavel, looked at Caesar standing calmly, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.
He said: "The criminal Caesar, as one of the Four Kings of Ishgar, is not prudent, and has repeatedly destroyed the balance of the magic world, abused magic, and caused damage to many terrains, property losses, etc. He is punished severely for multiple crimes. Now he is deprived of his identity and imprisoned for ten years as a warning to others. If he resists, he will be charged with contempt of the Council and his imprisonment will be doubled. The Fairy Tail Guild will be expelled and reduced to a dark guild!"
After announcing Caesar's fate, Gulan looked at him, hoping to see panic or fear.
But he was disappointed because Caesar looked very calm and even wanted to laugh.
"What are you doing?!"
Gulan was furious.
"You are disrespecting our judges and increasing your imprisonment time!"
"Did I give you face?"
But the next moment, a cold voice made everyone shiver.
Caesar's strength made them wary.
But they had a way to restrain him.
One was to target the Fairy Tail Guild, the other the destructive attack methods they had mastered.
"It seems he is stubborn and unrepentant."
Gulan waved his hand and shouted: "Imprisoned for a hundred years, never to leave prison! Expelled from Fairy Tail! Reduced to a dark guild! A bounty is issued for Fairy Tail!"
Hearing this, Caesar, who had been slightly angry, suddenly calmed down.
He said calmly: "Okay, I'll do as you say, but I need to be clear about this."
He glanced at everyone indifferently.
His gaze was like that of a creature at the top of the food chain, looking at its prey.
Everyone stiffened and dared not move.
"If something force majeure happens, don't ask me to come out and solve it."
Caesar suddenly became lazy.
"I've got this to say. Okay, send me to prison."
His words made Gulan uneasy.
He didn't understand where Caesar's confidence came from.
However, Caesar completely offended his dignity as the Speaker.
So he immediately took Caesar away and locked him in a small dark room.
The roof was very low, like a coffin.
Caesar could only turn around.
Even squatting was a luxury.
But he didn't care and waited quietly.
On the other side, the trial of other guild members began.
Gulan and his men had tolerated Fairy Tail for a long time.
Now that they finally caught them, they targeted them mercilessly.
All guild members received prison sentences, with a minimum of two years.
But what made Gulan furious was that these guys didn't take him seriously.
They either ignored him or mocked him in court, raising his blood pressure.
After judging the last member, Gulan slammed the table and roared: "Expel Fairy Tail! Issue a bounty!"
"Speaker, think twice?"
A congressman spoke up.
But Gulan gave him a murderous glare.
"You don't want to do it anymore?"
The congressman shut up.
Under the erosion of power, they had lost their original intentions.
What was supposed to be a good organization gradually became distorted.
Soon, news spread that Fairy Tail had become a dark guild.
A bounty was issued for them.
The Council's move was to scare other guilds into realizing who was boss.
For a moment, Ishgar was in uproar.
Some guilds frowned secretly.
Some were eager to test the waters.
Many understood the Council's true nature.
Some dark guilds secretly bribed the Council.
They transformed into registered normal guilds.
It seemed everything changed after Fairy Tail's fall.
"Caesar, what do you think?"
In the dark room, Makarov communicated with Caesar through telepathy.
"Fairy Tail is developing too fast."
Caesar replied: "The guild is bloated. I plan to sober up those with ulterior motives and see who truly regards the guild as home."
"...It's possible. Can we turn this around?"
Makarov worried.
Mavis was next to him, and he felt ashamed to face her.
"Don't worry. They will beg us to come back."
Caesar said: "Given the current Council situation, something bad will happen sooner or later. I plan to destroy the Council and rebuild it."
"Wait! Caesar, what do you want to do?!"
Makarov was startled.
A bad thought came to mind.
"Master, do you want the position of Speaker?"
