Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 37

Beta Heaven is the 37th chapter of Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest by Hiro Mashima and Atsuo Ueda, a sequel to Fairy Tail.
Happy stood shocked after witnessing Natsu defeated by the unseen Wraith, who’s about to eat Natsu's soul. Meanwhile, Natsu finds himself in a strange world and encounters familiar faces.
==Summary==
Happy tearfully searches for the enemy before going to Natsu's body, trying to wake him up. Wraith prepares to eat the fire Dragon Slayer's soul, commenting on the Exceed's plight that his friend has died.
Natsu wakes up in a place where the ground is made of clouds, trying to remember what he was doing. He is told that he was fighting a ghost by Zeref, shocked to see his dead brother. Zeref asks if he understands where he is, meeting a dead person. The fire mage thinks it is Hell because Zeref is here, much to his brother's expense. He is quickly told that this place is neither Heaven nor Hell, but something similar. Natsu thinks he died, but Zeref notes that this is something akin to death, but not quite. Mavis approaches them, saying that this is a place where the dead gather, but at times those whose deaths are not determined yet come here. Natsu rushes to hug her, asking if she is alive. Zeref tells him to not cling to his wife, who then shows him their children; August and Larcade, much to the fire Mage's surprise. 
At their house, while the kids play with Mavis, Zeref has a conversation with Natsu, about the atrocities he committed while he was alive, having mixed feelings of being in a happy world. While he believes Natsu would forgive him because of how kind he is, the people who he caused so much sorrow or died probably will not, which is fine as this is not a world where his sins are judged. Natsu still does not understand, and Zeref states that this is not Heaven, Hell, the afterlife, or the realm of the dead, saying that this is his mental heaven, calling it "Beta Heaven". It is the image of heaven in a person's subconscious mind, making everyone's version different. Zeref does not know where are the real souls of him and Mavis, wondering if they are in their own Beta Heaven or just gone.
Natsu imagined heaven to be more fiery and filled with dragons, Igneel appears behind them, making the fire mage tear up. Igneel notes how they all live peacefully here, even other friends who have died, naming Atlas Flame and Lucy's parents to name a few, even speculating that Acnologia is here somewhere. The three tell him that it is time and face his enemy, reminding him that he is like a ghost right now. They tell him that he will forget about everything that happened here, as it is part of his subconscious mind, but note that they will always be in his heart. Natsu says goodbye to everyone as he leaves, where he and Zeref say that he has to keep living.
Before his soul is consumed, Natsu bites Wraith's hand and forms a hand to punch him. The Spirit Dragon is confused by what is happening as Natsu sees how badly his body got beaten. Wraith realizes that Natsu is a Thought Projection right now. The fire mage then changes to his normal self and thinks about getting back to his body. However, he decides to stay like this to fight back and throws another punch.
