Mavis is indeed struggling to dispel the magic, not to release the people from "Devil's Heart," but because "Tenrou Island" is a very important place. It is the holy land of "Fairy Tail," and the place where she has lived for so many years.
No matter what, we can't just leave "Tianlang Island" here and ignore it. After all, she's a ghost, so we have plenty of time. We can slowly work on it and eventually solve the mystery in a few years.
"Buzz!"
Moen appeared and stood directly on the "Fairy Sphere".
This golden "Fairy Orb" has actually been seen by some people, which is to verify what Moen said.
The existence of this "Fairy Ball" does indeed prove the truth of Moen's words to some extent. Of course, Mavis and the others, the first guild master of "Fairy Tail", cannot see it.
"Little Moen! You've finally come to help!"
Sensing Moen's arrival, Mavis's spirit appeared beside him, excitedly shouting that this "first president" always seemed cheerful and was a happy ghost.
"Well, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
Moen smiled and nodded. He didn't keep her in suspense and told Mavis directly about the "Fairy Heart".
"what?"
Mavis's eyes widened. This news was indeed too shocking for her. She never expected that her body would be turned into that kind of thing. What exactly did Precht do?
"He probably wanted to resurrect you. Anyway, he did a lot of torment on your body, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to concoct something like a fairy's heart."
Moen couldn't help but complain, "I have to say, the 'second generation' Precht is really a bit of a pervert. Is it true that all 'second generation' members are this research-oriented?"

,
After hearing Moen's words, Mavis's expression was complicated. Precht had become "Hades" and the guild master of "Heart of the Devil," one of the three giants of the "Baram Alliance," a dark guild. The original second generation of "Fairy Tail" had ultimately become an unforgivable villain.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Mavis. After all, Precht was a partner who created Fairy Tail with her. They had been through a lot together and had a deep bond. It was natural for her to be sad to see Precht like this.
In particular, Precht's current state may be inextricably linked to her; it is very likely that Precht became what it is today because of her death.
"Grandpa Makarov said that Precht left the guild quite normally."
Moen recounted what he knew, though he was skeptical; perhaps Precht was already somewhat abnormal back then, just not completely insane.
"Perhaps his last bit of rationality led him to hand the guild over to Grandpa Makarov and then leave the guild himself."
Moen held the rational Precht in high regard, just as Grandpa Makarov remembered him as a learned and kind elder who had ultimately gone astray into madness.
"Being addicted to dark magic... will ultimately corrupt one's mind."
Mavis remarked with a sigh, "This is no joke. The aura of evil magic can truly influence a person's mind in a subtle and gradual way."
"Your death may have indeed had a great impact on him."
Moen sighed, feeling sorry for Precht. A person with a strong will might be able to resist the influence of "dark magic," but it's like "not afraid of theft, but afraid of being targeted." You can't guarantee that your will will never waver, and once a sudden situation occurs, you might be taken advantage of.
To put it simply, "affecting the mind" is like using a very powerful cheat code in a game.
The reason why "black magic" is called "black magic" is because it can do things that normal magic cannot. Monsters that cannot be defeated or levels that cannot be cleared with normal magic may be defeated or levels can be skipped with "black magic".
Once you use this kind of "violent modifier," it's hard to put it down; you'll want to keep using it and keep enjoying the fun.
However, if the game save file is corrupted, you can delete it and start over, or even speedrun through it first and then create a new save file without using a cheat engine.
But life is different. Life is a game that you can only play once and cannot restart. If you use a "mod" and ruin your save file, then it's really ruined, and there's no chance to start over.
Precht initially only wanted to resurrect Mavis, but later he became somewhat out of touch with reality.
He became completely immersed in the world of "dark magic," frantically studying forbidden knowledge, and even broke ties with his old friend who tried to warn him. He gradually fell into the abyss, becoming a completely different person from his original self.
If she hadn't used her last bit of reason to exile herself from Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail would probably have suffered even more hardships, and it's uncertain whether Fairy Tail would still be the same Fairy Tail it is today.
"It's all my fault..."
""
Mavis looked dejected. If it weren't for her, Rita wouldn't have died, Yuri wouldn't have passed away so young, Precht wouldn't have gone astray, and Warlord wouldn't have left the guild...
"How can you blame yourself? Did you commit suicide?"
Moen looked helpless. No one knew the cause of Mavis's death, and Mavis herself had never mentioned it. But judging from the state of this "first president," she was definitely not the kind of person who would commit suicide.
Although Moen wasn't entirely clear on the grudges and feuds between these predecessors who were a generation older than Grandpa Makarov, he could immediately understand the personality of the "first president," Mavis.
"I...of course I didn't commit suicide..."
'
When the topic of "death" was brought up, Mavis became somewhat silent again.
"I died because of a curse."
After a moment of silence, Mavis spoke again, this was the first time she had spoken about her death.
"Ankhseram's curse? Zeref?"
Moen raised an eyebrow and immediately understood. This matter was related to Zeref again. That guy really was the "root of all evil." He could get involved in all sorts of messy things, and there was even a claim that the "Black Dragon" was born because of him.
"That's right."
Mavis slowly nodded, acknowledging that she died because of Jelf.
"I remember you said before that Ankhseram's curse kills with love, and the more you care about life, the more you will hurt others."
Moen's expression gradually became strange. Did this mean that Mavis and Jelf were actually having an affair?
"Yes... the more you love life, the more lives you take away. That's Ankhseram's curse. Zeref and I are both cursed. Makarov's mother, Rita, who was your great-grandmother, died because I suddenly realized the true meaning of life at that time..."
'
Mavis brought up that past event once again. It had a profound impact on her, and she felt incredibly guilty. This was the reason she had exiled herself to "Sirius Island" all this time, or rather, it was the cause of everything that followed.
After Makarov was born, Yuri's wife Rita begged Mebis to name the child, and Mebis named him Makarov.
At that moment, Mavis suddenly realized the true meaning of life, unleashed the energy of death, and took Rita's life. In order to avoid taking more lives, Mavis ran away from the guild.
Fortunately, Mavis had just grasped the true meaning of life at that time, and it was the first time she had released death energy. If she had released such powerful "death energy" as Zeref, Fairy Tail would probably have been wiped out.
After all, under those circumstances, who could have imagined that Mavis would suddenly "take such drastic measures"? Even Mavis herself didn't expect it. She hadn't believed Zeref when he said she was also cursed by "Ankhseram," thinking he was talking nonsense.
However, it turned out that Jeff was right. If she had believed him sooner, and if everyone had been prepared, Rita might not have died.
"Since then, I have been wandering, hiding from all life. A year later, I met Jelf again. Since we were in the same situation, we traveled together for a while. In the end, I died because of his love."
""
Mavis did not deny her relationship with Jeff. Although she looked like a child, she was definitely old enough and it was certainly not illegal, so there was nothing wrong with talking about it.
"Dying because of love? Then why was it you who died?"
However, Moen discovered the "key point": both Mavis and Zeref were burdened with the "Curse of Ankhseram," and both would generate death energy capable of killing all life around them when they felt love. But why was it that only Mavis died at that time?
"I've always thought that maybe I didn't love him back then, I was just admiring him. To avoid hurting others, he exiled himself for hundreds of years, bearing the curse of Ankhseram. At that time, I probably just admired him immensely."
I admire him and hope I can be like him.
Mavis's expression also showed some confusion, but she found an explanation for herself and got over her inner turmoil.

""
Moen remained silent. The "love-hate relationship" between Mavis and Zeref was indeed difficult to judge, but how to put it? The Zeref that Mavis spoke of was actually somewhat different from the Zeref that Moen was seeing now.
If I had to say something, it would be that the current Zeref is far less emotionally normal than the Zeref Mavis described.
He is in a stable mental state.
Now, even though Jelf is just lying there doing nothing, he exudes death energy. His attitude towards people and life gives people a feeling of being neither fully tense nor fully relaxed. In short, his mental state is extremely unstable.
But Moen could understand. Maintaining this state for hundreds of years would be unbearable for anyone. Mavis had only maintained this state for a year back then, so it was normal for her to think that Jelf was really amazing and to admire and yearn for him.
Putting myself in their shoes, Moen felt that he himself might find it difficult to do what Jelf did, wandering alone for hundreds of years.
"Those cursed by Ankhseram are unable to live or die. Perhaps death is the true liberation for us. He kept seeking death, but unfortunately, he ultimately saved me."
Although she only lived that kind of life for a year, Mavis is definitely the person in the world who understands Jelf the most.
Of the two of them, whoever lives in the world is the one who suffers.
"He created so many random characters in an attempt to kill himself, but instead of killing himself, he caused even more tragedies. His mental state was indeed very poor."
Moen now fully understood Zeref's actions, including his failure to deal with the demons. It was likely due to his mental state; he kept telling himself he couldn't love humans, to the point that sometimes he was actually deceiving himself.
""
Mavis lowered her head and sighed helplessly. She couldn't help now, as she was just a ghost with no real power.
"Buzz!!!"
Just as Moen and Mavis were silently contemplating Zeref's situation, a surge of magical energy suddenly arose nearby.
"Someone's coming."
Moen's gaze immediately turned to the source of the magic, which was a portal, a portal surging with evil magic.
Moen immediately recognized it as demonic power. He had a servant in his house that was specifically trained to receive demonic attacks, so he was naturally familiar with this strange energy.
These demons, Zeref's demons, use abilities called spells rather than magic, just like the previous "flute." Spells and magic are quite different.
"Is it a demon created by Zeref?"
"Mavis asked curiously."
Mavis had nothing to worry about. She herself was a ghost and was already dead. She knew Moen's strength all too well. He was a guy who could really go toe-to-toe with the "Black Dragon". No matter how many enemies came, they would definitely not be able to hurt Moen.
"It seems so."
Moen nodded. It was exactly what they had hoped for. They had just been talking about Zeref when Zeref's demon appeared right next to them.
"Buzz!!!"
The portal over there surged with magic, and soon, several figures emerged from it, each one strangely shaped and clearly not human.
The leader of this group of strange-looking guys looked the most human. He had black hair, was well-dressed, and was holding a book. He had a scholarly air about him, but his gloomy expression didn't make him seem like a good person.
"Huh? There's someone here?"
The leader also noticed Moen standing on the "Fairy Sphere". He was initially surprised, but quickly became indifferent, seemingly not taking Moen seriously at all.
They came here to find Zeref, having heard that he had been here before, so they rushed over to check the situation.
