"@SoulRise99 Also take into account that Zeref's creations are/should be disappearing now that he ceased to be. The title of next chapter is "World Collapse". That could mean that rather than Acnologia coming back, that rip opening could be another kind of apocalypse happening. Maybe now that Zeref and his creations are disappearing, the Eclipse Gate is also vanishing. But instead of the Valley of Time disappearing with it, instead the rift in time is destabilising and threatening to swallow the entire world (hmm... Endless?) and the final chapters show how the mages try (and eventually succeed in) preventing this from happening. Could be a scenario like the end of Final Fantasy 8 where multime points in time flow together to form some weird shit through which the protagonists have to travel... though with just 8 chapters left that seems a bit unlikely. -NoNickNeeded" First of all, Zeref's time magic isn't something he created from Living Magic. Second, the "another apocalypse" part kinda makes sense. Lastly, that's what I mean by "the world collapsing into it."
