Kenichi could be said to be Zoldeo's natural counter, completely negating his Human Subordination magic.
When Zoldeo wanted to summon puppets from another dimension, Kenichi's Spatial Law magic prevented the summons.
He could weaken the magical power and strength of humans, but Azuma wasn't human.
Additionally...
Looking at Zoldeo before him, Kenichi suddenly thought of something.
'Although Zoldeo fused with Capricorn, his appearance is still that of a Celestial Spirit. Perhaps I can use that magic!'
Thinking this, Kenichi's gaze fell on the Magic attribute column of the system screen.
Soon, he found the Doll Attack Magic attribute.
This control magic was naturally collected by Kenichi from Sherry.
Back in Edolas, Kenichi had used this magic to control the mount of Fairy Hunter.
The effect of this magic was that it could control all objects other than humans, including Celestial Spirits.
"Let's try it!"
Without any hesitation, Kenichi immediately opened his palm and activated the control magic attribute towards Zoldeo over there.
Bzzzt-
As Kenichi's magical power surged, Zoldeo, who had been continuously dodging Azuma's attacks, suddenly froze.
'Success!'
Seeing that he had successfully controlled Zoldeo, Kenichi's eyebrow raised.
After all, the Zoldeo before him was a fusion of human and Celestial Spirit.
Kenichi wasn't sure if the control magic would work on him.
But it seemed it indeed could control him.
"My body... I can't move!"
Zoldeo, now controlled by Kenichi, was inwardly horrified.
Because just moments ago, he realized he seemed to have lost control over this body.
While Zoldeo was reeling in shock, his body involuntarily activated magical power again and continuously released Human Subordination magic.
"What in the world... is happening?"
While Zoldeo was utterly terrified, Kenichi was overjoyed.
Naturally, it was Kenichi manipulating Zoldeo's body to continuously use magic.
As Zoldeo kept releasing magic, the system's mechanical prompts also sounded incessantly in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +11]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +10]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +12]
…
Watching the golden Magic Power attributes continuously dropping beneath Zoldeo, Kenichi felt joy and also conceived a bold idea.
'If I kept this up for a day, no, for a year, how many Magic Power attributes would the system drop?'
'Each magic use dropped about 11 points of Magic Power attribute.'
'10,000 uses would be 110,000 points of Magic Power attribute.'
110,000! That was several times more than the Magic Power attributes Kenichi had collected over the past two years.
Of course, Kenichi was just thinking about it.
After all, no matter how vast Zoldeo's magical power was, it couldn't sustain such usage for long.
But this provided Kenichi with a new approach.
In the future, he could manipulate some mages to 'perform' magic in front of him.
For example, Hades.
'Hades possessed the Devil's Heart, allowing infinite magic use. If I could control Hades, that would be incredible.'
Just as Kenichi was thinking this, the system prompt for dropping the Human Subordination magic attribute suddenly sounded.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Human Subordination Magic attribute!]
'Finally dropped?'
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi collected his thoughts and focused his gaze on Zoldeo before him.
He saw that the golden tadpole-like attributes beneath Zoldeo had piled up densely.
[Host, would you like to collect the Human Subordination Magic attribute?]
'Collect!'
Kenichi answered without any hesitation.
With Kenichi's command, the large number of golden tadpole beneath Zoldeo all converged towards Kenichi.
After those golden attributes merged into Kenichi's body, the Magic Power attribute on the virtual screen in front of Kenichi began to rise rapidly.
18776
18834
…
19143
In just a few seconds, Kenichi's Magic Power attribute soared from the initial 18776 to 19143.
And it wasn't over.
As those golden attributes continuously merged into Kenichi's body, his Magic Power attribute kept climbing.
And the rate of increase was very fast.
Kenichi himself also felt the magical power within his body continuously swelling.
Moreover, the [Human Subordination] magic attribute was added to the Magic attribute column.
Just as Kenichi was thinking about collecting more Magic Power attributes before dealing with Zoldeo, a terrifyingly loud explosion suddenly sounded through the air.
Hearing this terrifying explosion, Kenichi collected his focus and looked up.
Loke, Lucy, and Levy also immediately looked towards the source.
They saw a pillar of fire shooting into the sky in the distance.
"This magical power is... Master!"
"Master is fighting someone!"
Loke looked at the terrifying explosion and said gravely.
Perhaps Loke didn't know who Makarov was fighting, but Kenichi did.
'It's Hades.'
Kenichi said with a flicker in his eyes, then turned his gaze onto Zoldeo before him.
He knew the plan to farm Magic Power attributes using puppets would have to wait for later.
The urgent matter now was to resolve the crisis brought by Grimoire Heart on the island.
"Kill him."
After collecting the Magic Power attributes dropped by the system, Kenichi immediately commanded the waiting manifested Azuma.
With Kenichi's command, Azuma made a grasping motion towards Zoldeo in the air.
Bzzzt-
The next second, thick branch-vines, like pythons, coiled around Zoldeo's body.
However, just as Azuma was about to detonate the branch-vines, Loke hurriedly called out to stop him: "Kenichi, you can't kill him!"
"He is Capricorn of the Golden 12! We just need to force the guy inside him out!"
Hearing Loke's words, Kenichi ordered Azuma to stand down temporarily.
Loke gave Kenichi a grateful look, then moved his feet and charged directly towards Zoldeo.
Zoldeo's body was already controlled by Kenichi and couldn't move at all.
Then, under Zoldeo's horrified gaze, Loke punched him.
Boom-
With a loud roar, a figure shot out from within Capricorn's body.
This figure was none other than Zoldeo's true body.
Zoldeo, who had been blasted out by Loke, wasn't angry but instead overjoyed: "I... I finally have my own body back!"
But while Zoldeo was ecstatic, his body was continuously dissipating.
At this moment, Zoldeo looked at his crumbling body, and the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by despair.
"No, no..."
After Zoldeo's despairing screams, his body ultimately dissipated into the air.
Loke then said: "This is the consequence of recklessly using forbidden magic!"
As he spoke, Loke helped the Capricorn lying on the ground to his feet.
"Levy, Lucy, you should go find Erza quickly. I'm going to find the remaining members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory!"
Kenichi glanced at Loke and Capricorn, called out to Levy and Lucy, then headed towards another large magical reaction ahead.
