==Summary==
Zeref Dragneel was considered to be the strongest, most evil Mage of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous, and powerful Magic know as the Black Arts. Around 400 years ago, he was cursed by the God Ankhseram with the Curse of Contradiction. After this, Zeref wished to die and created the Etherious in the hopes that they would kill him, eventually reviving his brother as the strongest Etherious, E.N.D. (Etherious Natsu Dragneel). He is the founder and Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, under the alias of Emperor Spriggan. He is the older brother of Natsu Dragneel, lover of Mavis Vermillion, and father of August.

Fairy Tail Vol 55 Chapter 471 Fairy Tail Vol 57 Chapter 489 Pre-SBT Dragon Form Acnologia, which should make him stronger than Pre-SBT Human Form Acnologia and also comparable in power to Pre-SBT Dragon Form Acnologia. Much stronger than X792 Fire Dragon King Mode Igneel's Power Natsu and X792 Fire Dragon King Mode Dragon Force Natsu), Universe level+ with Neo Eclipse (By merging the powers of Fairy Heart and the Space Between Time to generate Neo Eclipse, Zeref was going to erase the current timeline and replace it with his own to relive his life)

Stamina: Superhuman normally, Infinite with Fairy Heart (Took a full powered attack from Fire Dragon King Mode Igneel's Power Natsu without blocking it and kept standing, even after taking severe injuries from the attack. As an immortal, Zeref is incredibly hard to injure and it is practically impossible to do any lasting damage to him, which allows him to survive all kinds of critical injuries, being able to recover immediately from severe burn wounds or even decapitation, and overtime, he is capable of regenerating from the complete physical destruction of both his body and soul. Fairy Heart is an infinite source of magic power that will never run out)

His Ankhseram Black Magic would have spread out and effected all of Aldoron's body), Universal+ with Neo Eclipse (Neo Eclipse was going to erase the entire timeline and create a new one)
Standard Equipment:
*Book of E.N.D.
*Other Books of Zeref
*Space Between Time
Optional Equipment
*R-System
*Eclipse Gate
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Zeref possesses centuries worth of knowledge, having mastered all of the Black Arts known in the world, and he himself has also developed many new advanced magics. As a child, he was able to invent the R-System, which was a device that had the power to revive the dead. He was also able to create the Eclipse Gate, which allowed the user time travel, as well as create thousands of his own race of demons known as the Etherious. Zeref was also able to form the Alvarez Empire, a massive Empire that is made up of around 730 guilds and is one of the most powerful nations in the world. Zeref was also capable of effortlessly transforming Irene back into a Human Form, which Irene was incapable of figuring out, even after 400 years of trying. Zeref managed to understand and gain complete control over the concept of time itself and the Space Between Time, which is also a concept. Zeref also managed to develop Neo Eclipse, which was a spell that had the power to reset the time itself back at least 400 years. Zeref is also an excellent tactician, being able to repeatedly outsmart and outmaneuver Mavis and her strategies during the war between Ishgar and Alvarez. Zeref is also a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant, being able to fight and match Natsu, who is known for being one of the best brawlers in the series. Zeref is likely the smartest person in the entire Fairy Tail world that we have met so far)
Weaknesses: His magic will go out of control as long as he values life. After the Grand Magic Games Arc, it is shown that he no longer feels the need to value life, and that as long as the world continues to reject him, he will reject the world, making the drawback of him losing control of his magic no longer an issue. The Curse of Contradiction can sometimes cause Zeref to have contradictory thoughts.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Ankhseram Black Magic=
Ankhseram Black Magic: It is a Black Art that allows Zeref to produce a dark matter that kills any living thing it touches. This Magic seems to be uncontrollable at times, causing it to burst out randomly, killing anything within a certain radius around him. However, when Zeref forgets the value of and no longer cares about human life, he can fully control this Magic, and become the ruthless, cold-hearted Zeref spoken of in legend. Certain Magic Items can protect people from Ankhseram Black Magic, such as Natsu Dragneel's scarf. This Magic also appears, contrary to the nature of the Black Arts, unable to be learned, as Zeref only gained this curse-like Magic by upsetting the ancient God of life and death, Ankhseram, who apparently bestowed this upon Zeref due to his making light of the connections between life, death, and people in his race to bring his brother back to life. The side effect of this Magic is both immortality and the inability to age, and it is also said that no matter what, Zeref can not be killed, even if he loses his head. Owing to his status as an immortal, if Zeref has gone at least a short amount of time with receiving damage occurring in successive intervals, his wounds heal without a trace.
*Death Predation: Zeref creates a dark wave that kills everything in the his immediate vicinity.
*Dark Orb: Zeref creates a ball of dark mass and throws it, which destroys everything in its path.
*Dark Repent: Zeref swipes both of his arms in a circular motion until the bottom of his hands meet. The hand on top has the index and middle fingers pointing upwards, while the other hand has the little and index fingers pointing downwards. While doing this, he is surrounded by a dark aura. This spell creates a huge vertical explosion, and its blast radius is seemingly controllable. It was used to kill Hades.
*Dark Strike: Zeref engulfs his fist in dark matter and punches his target.
*Dark Blaze: Zeref raises his hand and fires a blaze of dark matter through his opponent's chest.
*Dark Cage: Zeref ensnares his foe with several tentacles made out of a dark matter.
*Dark Blast Inferno: Zeref gathers flame-like dark matter in his palm and strikes his target with a powerful attack. This attack is so powerful, it briefly contended with Natsu's Blaze of Savage Emotions.

|-|Living Magic=
Living Magic: A very ancient, long-forgotten form of Magic that breathes life into an object. Some of Zeref's creations are sentient and seek to further Zeref's former, as-of-yet unknown, evil desires. Most of the beings that Zeref created were Demons.
*Nemesis: This spell creates Demons from the rubble. It can create an entire army of Demons with just a few rocks. This magic was used by Hades while battling Fairy Tail. A spell from Volume 4 Verse 20 of one of the Books of Zeref.
*Deliora: One of Zeref's many creations, Deliora was a monstrous Demon that attacked the icy villages in the North. Deliora was imprisoned in a block of ice by Ur. Lyon Vastia tried to unfreeze it so he could kill the Demon, however, after years of being detained in Ur's ice, the Demon's life force was greatly reduced, so much, in fact, that merely upon being released from the ice, it died.
*Lullaby: A flute that can transform into a giant Demon. Whoever hears Lullaby's song (aside from the caster) will die. Erigor hoped to use this to kill the Guild Masters at their meeting. As Kageyama failed to carry out the mission, Lullaby transformed into its Demon form to feast upon souls. However, Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, and Erza Scarlet were able to defeat the Demon Flute. It currently is in the Magic Council's possession.
*Tartaros: Zeref stated that all of Tartaros' members are Demons he created.
**E.N.D. (Etherious Natsu Dragneel): The strongest of his Demons and the master of Tartaros.
**Mard Geer Tartaros: One of his strongest Demons and second in command of Tartaros.
**Kyôka: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros, and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Jackal: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Tempester: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Keyes: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Seilah: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and its team of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Ezel: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Torafuzar: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and a member of the Nine Demon Gates.
**Franmalth: An Etherious of the Dark Guild Tartaros and its team: the Nine Demon Gates.
**Lamy: A mass-produced Etherious and a member of the Dark Guild Tartaros, working under Kyôka to help with the Demons' regeneration process.
*Bloodman: Apart of the Alvarez Empire's Spriggan 12, he was at some point created by Zeref and he wields the supreme collection of all of the Curses possessed by the Nine Demon Gates and their leader Mard Geer.
*Larcade Dragneel: Apart of the Alvarez Empire's Spriggan 12, he was deemed the strongest failed Etherious creation from the multiple attempts at remaking Natsu Dragneel, donning the last name of Zeref as proof of his strength.
|-|Other Magic=
Immobilization Magic: A Black Art of Zeref's that allows him to freeze time for all except those he chooses to remain mobile. After casting this Magic, the surrounding area and all those affected by the Magic appear inverted in color, while those unaffected stays as they are.
Immobilization Magic.gif|Immobilization Magic
Enchantment: Zeref has been shown to be a master Enchanter. He was capable of morphing Irene's dragonized form into the physique of a human, something which she, a very skilled Enchanter herself, was not able to do. He was also capable of extracting the Fairy Heart from Mavis in a shorter timeframe than Irene was.
Zeref Enchantment.gif|Enchantment
Law: Although he was never shown to use it, Zeref was the one who taught this supreme type of Black Magic to Mavis, in order for her to fight for her friends. When this spell is activated, a bright light envelops the area and inflicts heavy damage on the user's target. This spell is so powerful that it was able to completely counteract the effects of the Tenrou Jade.

|-|Fairy Heart Form=
Fairy Heart Form: Zeref, after activating the Magic of Fairy Heart and the Space Between Time, accesses a mode that he himself calls "surpassing a God of space and time". In this form, he becomes entirely white overall, with an intricate clothing design as well as wings. Due to Fairy Heart's infinite Magic Power and the Space Between Time's Power, he can control time and space, as when Natsu blew him back with a powerful attack, he reformed his being as well as the area that was destroyed with ease. It's also stated that when Zeref has the power of the Fairy Heart at his disposal, he has the potential to match or possibly even surpass Acnologia.
*Time Magic: After accessing the Space Between Time's power, Zeref was said to have gained complete control over space and time, shown by reversing the debris of the destroyed part of the guild, as well as his own physical body when attacked by Natsu.
**Neo Eclipse: With the power of Fairy Heart and Space Between Time, Zeref can merge both Magics into one, to create this Magic. With it, he can relive life again, destroying the current world while the new one replaces it. Neo Eclipse takes the form of a door, as Zeref merged it with Fairy Tail's guild door, and walking through it will induce the magic. This spell was going to perform a time reset, destroying the old world and creating a new one to allow Zeref to relive his life.
