The best chapter I've read in a while and that includes the CSK chaps.

In some other blogs I had already speculated Silver was nothing but a corpse and in another blog that he was infused with Deliora, glad it's true and that Silver ain't a Demon who had sexual intercourse with a human or that he was a Demonified human like Minerva.

This chap gives me food for thought.

For starters, there is Silver's personality. He has made it perfectly clear that he's just Deliora's consciousness inhabiting Silver's corpse, yet he did give Lisanna a blanket, he spared Natsu when he was frozen solid and completely at his mercy, he mourned in front of a grave and he seems pretty laidback overall. So the question is: is this Deliora's personality or did Hell's Core revive some of Silver's original personality which had some effect on Deliora?

I certainly hope it's the former as this would prove Deliora isn't a mindless engine of destruction and, most importantly, it would eliminate the possibility of Silver's original personality lingering somewhere in Deliora/Silver. If Silver's original personality was somehow revived or lingering in Deliora/Silver, there is bound to be a cheesy moment where Silver temporarily conquers Deliora and allows Gray to finish him off.

Then there is Deliora knowing Natsu. I don't think he would remember Natsu from the brief moment before his death on Galuna Island, but considering that Deliora is one of Zeref's creations and that Zeref seems to be anticipating Natsu killing him for a long time now, it may not be impossible that Zeref at one point disclosed his expectations concerning Natsu to the Etherias.

Therefore, they may know about Natsu from way before he got into FT and they may see him as a potential obstacle that keeps them from "reaching Zeref", although this makes it even more incomprehensible why Deliora didn't finish a frozen Natsu, unless he couldn't for some reason (perhaps E.N.D. ordered that nobody but him is allowed to finish Natsu off)

Anyway, Gray will have a serious battle on his plate. Deliora was shown to fire a beam from his mouth (Devil Roar?) which levelled an entire mountain range. Furthermore, he has access to the Devil Slayer magic.

Would be awesome if Gray actually uses Iced Shell, as this would allow him to "catch up" to Ur, while also saving his friends and giving the series the death of a protagonist it so badly needs.
