[Eileen smiled and shook her head: "The Galactic Empire has always maintained the principle of peaceful coexistence."]
"Just as humans and dragons can coexist peacefully, facts have proven us right."
"Under the premise of peaceful development and common progress, the Galactic Empire has successfully continued to this day."
"I also believe that demons are the same. As long as you possess intelligence and humanity, then in my eyes you are human."
"Harmonious coexistence, common progress..." Sera murmured softly.
Outside the sky.
Karna Island.
The villagers who were watching the sky already had tears in their eyes.
Eileen in the sky seemed to speak their innermost thoughts.
Who says that demons are inherently synonymous with evil?
Who says that all demons are ruthless killers?
Who says that demons are born to be enemies of humans?
They were demons, yet they never considered these things.
All they thought about was how to survive and how to be happy.
They also possess kindness.
However, it is precisely because of its demonic appearance that it is viewed with prejudice.
To be feared by all, to be dreaded by all.
These were never what they wanted.
They also want to be treated equally and to move forward hand in hand with humanity.
However, prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, firmly oppressing them.
This forced them to become trapped on the lonely island of Galna.
"If... our world had a place like the Galactic Empire, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The elderly village chief, leaning on his cane, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and murmured softly.
"By the way, what do you mean by the first batch of experimental creations?"
[Honatsu keenly grasped the key point and couldn't help but ask a question.]
[Upon hearing this, Eileen's expression became serious.]
"We're almost at the palace. Come and see for yourself."
As she spoke, Eileen gazed into the distance.
Amidst the swirling clouds, a magnificent palace, towering high and seemingly piercing through the clouds, comes into view.
This is the royal palace of the Galactic Empire, and also where Irene usually resides.
The dragon descended upon the plaza in front of the palace.
Following Irene's lead, Henatsu and Sera also entered the palace.
[And then, they went straight to a heavily guarded gate.]
Thanks to Eileen's presence, the group easily entered the sealed gate.
We arrived at a huge room filled with experimental equipment.
"This is my laboratory. Across from it lies the testing grounds, and also the breeding ground for demons!"
[Eileen pointed to the huge, transparent glass window on the laboratory wall and said.]
Through the window, one can clearly see countless culture tanks on the other side.
"Before you came here, you must have heard about the Galactic Empire's cooperation with Zeref, right?"
[Eileen turned and asked.]
Both of them nodded.
"So, the project you're collaborating on is evil?"
"Hennaz asked."
"To be precise... it's life-building technology!"
[Eileen corrected.]
"Do you remember the idea of perfect dragon transformation that you mentioned to me three hundred years ago?"
Henna nodded.
"For the past three hundred years, I have been pondering this question, but to create a space within the human body for the Dragon Seed to grow perfectly, we need data to support it—in short, examples. After all, many problems remain unsolved, so experiments are necessary."
Eileen explained.
"The option of experimental subjects is particularly difficult for me, because the power of dragons is not something ordinary people can possess."
"Most of the Dragon Slayer Mages of that era have been corrupted by the power of dragons. I once tried to experiment on myself, but I couldn't find a way to do it..."
At this point, Eileen couldn't help but sigh softly...
"Therefore, for the past three hundred years, I have only been able to suppress the growth of the dragon seed within me thanks to Belserion's help."
"This situation continued until a few years ago, with the arrival of Jelf."
"His methods of creating life opened up new avenues of thought for me."
"Perhaps I can use this method to construct a simulated life form to mimic the state of a Dragon Slayer Mage."
"Of course, strictly speaking, this life form doesn't possess life; it's merely a simulation!"
"Eileen said seriously."
"This way, we can make subtle adjustments in various aspects based on the performance."
"Finally, a method for truly perfect dragon transformation was found."
Hearing Irene's explanation, Henna nodded in understanding.
"Simply put, it's about using Zeref's method of creating life to construct a virtual life form and then conducting simulation experiments on that life form, right?"
Eileen's lips curled into a slight smile: "As expected of you, you get it right away!"
"And so, the collaboration began, and we don't know why Jelf agreed to such a request."
"That day, he gazed at your statue in the square for a long time before finally agreeing to hand over the technology to us."
At this point, Irene couldn't help but look at Black Natsu: "I can only say, you truly are our empire's lucky star!"
[Eileen was joking, but Black Natsu's expression gradually turned serious.]
[Jeref's actions are starting to align more and more closely with my initial suspicions.]
Irene's voice continued, and Hagatsu made no attempt to interrupt, continuing to listen quietly.
"Zeref demonstrated the structure of life to us, but due to its complexity, we studied it in depth for a long time before successfully creating the first demons born in our empire."
"Perhaps it incorporates our Galactic Empire's advanced 4.1 technology, which is why the demon created this time is quite different from Zeref's."
"These are the ones you see outside, among whom Kuanghua has the strongest talent and has now become an indispensable warrior for the empire."
"The successful birth of the first batch of demons, along with observations over the past few years, have successfully proven that we have completely mastered the technology of life-construction."
"Furthermore, the life we've created is even more stable than Zeref's."
"The stability here refers to personality and nature."
"Most of the demons created by Zeref are uncontrollable. Only a minority are those that approach human existence and possess genuine human emotions."
"Wait a minute!"
[Black Natsu, who had been listening intently, suddenly stopped Irene.]
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned serious.
"Does this... count as violating a taboo concerning life and death?"
"The only person in history to have broken the taboo was Zeref, who suffered a curse from the god Ankhseram during his creation of life."
"I've witnessed that curse firsthand; it shouldn't be just a legend, it should be real, right?"
"Then how come you guys are alright?"
Chapter 147 Erza!
Honaz's doubts can be said to be the doubts of all the viewers outside the sky.
Yes, to this day, the only person on record who truly touched the taboo of life and death is Zeref.
However, he paid the price for touching the taboo of life and death.
The curse of the god Ankhseram that afflicted him was the price he paid.
The more you cherish life, the more likely you are to lose it.
