Ok, this is my final theory as to the relationship between Natsu and E.N.D.

Enjoy!

When Zeref created E.N.D. it was his greatest masterpiece, but knowing that he is the strongest caused him to become arrogant and egotistical in his existence forgetting his purpose, at some point he battles Igneel, sensing that E.N.D. became lost in his arrogance, Zeref had no choice but to seeing away with all the magic of Earthland.

Before he did that, Zeref still believed in E.N.D. so he removed an aspect of him and from it born Natsu Dragneel when he was a baby, as a baby Zeref would have him growing up learning the value of life from the world of others.

When Natsu finally faces E.N.D., Nastu must lose in order to defeat him. For when he does lose E.N.D. will finally see the "Value of Life" and thus he will be revealed as the "True" Natsu Dragneel.

Etherios Natsu Dragneel.
