The people of Magnolia are gathering near the river beside their town. They want to watch Ben build the Pandemonium on the river. He never asks them to come, but these people are very curious to see what Ben will make because this will be yet another incredible thing he creates.
Ben ignores them and just starts his preparation to make the Pandemonium while Bella sits quietly on his head. He needs to concentrate because the most important thing when using the Arc of Embodiment Magic is his imagination. The result will be better if his imagination is better too.
He has made the full concept and thought of all the details of The Pandemonium. All those things have been drawn in Quorra's system. So he just needs to make things based on those things using Arc of Embodiment Magic.
But, the Arc of Embodiment Magic that he will use is quite different from its original version. The original version can make any item he wants, but he needs to maintain them or they'll disappear. He can't do it for this project because The Pandemonium needs to be ready all the time for a long time.
So he made a lot of changes using all his knowledge. The research was taking a quite long time because Arc of Embodiment Magic isn't his expertise. He also needed to focus, that's why he sent Mira & co to handle avatar.
It's been a week since Mira & co started their plan to destroy Avatar. They were gathering information for 3 days before making their first attack on the 4th day. But they attacked weak branches around Fiore first to reduce the enemies' power.
The Fairy Tail attack team members are Mira, Erza, Laxus, Freed, Cana, Bickslow, Elfman, Lisanna, Evergreen, Wendy, Carla, Lucy, Gajeel, Levy, Lily, Mest, and Ben's 11 disciples. If Natsu, Gray, and Juvia are here, then they will also get included. But Natsu & Gray left to train for a year, and Juvia obviously followed Gray.
Even without the 3 of them, all those team members are enough. All 5 S-Class Mages other than Ben & Gildarts are participating and the other members are strong. This attack team's composition is already overkill.
As long as they make the correct plan, then they will succeed without a doubt. The most important thing in this mission is tactic & strategy. Their enemies are spreading and hidden in many locations. So they need to find all those locations and attack as fast as they can before the enemies escape.
To hasten their mission, the attack team splits into smaller groups to attack some branches at the same time. The S-Classes are moving alone while the others are forming 5 or 6 people groups.
By splitting like this, they can attack the branches more effectively, destroying some branches at the same time. They need to be fast so that they can destroy all Avatar branches in Fiore before the other branches in Ishgar move.
These branches are small, but there are a lot of them. Luckily, their power is weak, so the Fairies can destroy each branch easily. The only problem is the distances between branches that they need to travel.
This morning, Ben called Mira and told her that the Mikage Branch will make a move after getting a report that many branches were destroyed. The attack team needs to attack Mikage Branch now before the Dark Mages are gone.
Mira then told him that she will take care of Mikage Branch herself. After destroying the Avatar Branches, Mira realized that the Dark Guild's power is very low. Except for having a lot of members, Avatar doesn't have anything noteworthy about them.
Well, either that or Fairy Tail Mages are just too strong for the Avatar. The Fairies have become much stronger in the last 7 years. They just need more battle skills and experience to optimize their power.
That's why this Pandemonium is a very important project and Ben takes this very seriously. He has planned everything and finally, he is ready to make it now. Ben flies to a hill beside the river with Bella still sitting on his head while drinking milk.
Then he closes his eyes and spreads his hands in front of him. His body glows up brightly and his magic power surges up fast. The normal people can't feel anything, but every Mage there can feel it, Ben's ridiculous amount of magic power makes them tremble & have cold sweats all over their bodies.
"My gosh, is this even possible for a human to have this much power?" asks Macao with widened eyes.
"Aren't you looking at it now?" asks Wakaba back while being shocked himself.
"First Master, this is," Makarov can't even finish his sentence.
Mavis is also shocked by this, "Yes, he has a lot more magic power than me. Lumen Histoire only has half of his magic power. That means he has a similar amount of magic power to Zeref. But he is still in his normal form. I can't imagine how strong he will be when using his Force modes."
"Is this why he told me to not get worried about Zeref?" asks Makarov.
"Yes, that's most likely it. His real target isn't even Zeref, it's something beyond Zeref. For someone who aims that high, Zeref will never make him worry," says Mavis.
"First Master, if you are in your full power, how will you go against Ben?" asks Makarov.
Mavis doesn't hesitate to say, "I will lose in a short time if he goes serious even in his normal form. Ben's fighting method is something even I can't predict. He does what he wants based on his mood & situation. If he is in a hurry, then he will not give his opponents any chance to fight back and finish the battle in a short time. He can be ruthless, playful, kind, etc. His attacks can be the most effective or ineffective attacks. He'll just do what he wants as long as he wins."
"Ah, that's true. He'll even treat his battles as training to improve himself even if his opponents are weaker than him. I guess that's why he could reach this level. Without a doubt, Ben is the most hardworking person I've ever seen and one of the smartest too," says Makarov.
"It's getting started," says Alzack, making everyone focus on Ben again.
Ben makes a very wide blue magic circle on top of the hill. He opens his eyes and they glow brightly too like his body. Then something small comes out of the magic circle. It keeps getting bigger and bigger as it comes out.
A building with a smaller top is coming out of the magic circle. Everyone is impressed by it, but their jaws just keep dropping as the building just keeps growing taller & taller. They can't even see the tip already, but it still keeps growing.
When it finishes, everyone is looking up at the sky with a stunned expressions. The super tall building that Ben made is designed after Earth's tallest building before he died, Burj Khalifa. Ben's version is even taller because it is 1,000 meters high while Burj Khalifa is 828 meters.
But Ben's version has fewer floors with only 100 floors, while Burj Khalifa has 163 floors. Ben doesn't need that many floors, after all, but he needs higher rooms to give more space for the battles because some monsters are big, so he made the building taller.
Ben hasn't finished yet though because if he left it like this, then it will disappear when he doesn't consciously maintain it. He enters the first floor which hasn't had any monsters yet. He goes to the center and then a hole opens in the floor.
"What dis?" asks Bella curiously.
"The secret to maintaining this building," says Ben.
They enter the hole and below it is a very wide underground room. There's a small altar in the center with a hand figure to hold something. Ben approaches it and takes out a green lacrima crystal.
He puts it on the hand figure and instantly, a lot of magic letters come out of the lacrima and spread all over the room. They glow green after they stop coming out of the lacrima and the whole building glow along with them.
Ben grins while waiting for the process to finish. "Thank you for the gift, Serena."
