As we read in the **Fairy Tail** manga,

> **Because of choosing to stay human, the two seeds inside Natsu's
> body(Dragon seed & Demon seed) was vanished**

Does that mean, **END(Etheriois Natsu Dragneel)** is dead?

I have another reason of suspicion because of **Zeref Dragneel**.As we know,

> **Zeref** is the one who revived **Natsu** as his **strongest demon of book
> of zeref, END**

So now that **Zeref** is dead, isn't it normal for **END** to be dead too?

question
fairy-tail
Is Natsu's Etherious form still alive?


The following excerpts are from the [Villain's fandom
page](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/E.N.D.) on END, under the section
titled 'Alvarez Empire arc'

> During a fight between Zeref and Natsu the latter revealed his relationship
> to Natsu and the Dragon Slayer's status as E.N.D. Though Natsu refused to
> believe it at first he was forced to after Zeref pierced a hole through the
> Book of E.N.D. and Natsu ended up hurt as a result which proved the elder
> Dragneel's story. After Zeref revealed what really occurred in the past
> Natsu lost his patience and attempted to kill his brother as he was told

> Happy to fly away with him.

So yes, Natsu's life was tied to both Zeref and the book.

After that: (slightly abridged; **emphasis** mine)

> A while later Mavis Vermillion managed to obtain the Book of E.N.D. She then
> met up with Lucy, Happy and Gray and lent them the Book.

> Later, Zeref died peacefully with Mavis and **due to the Book's link with

This explains how Natsu is able to survive post Zeref's death. We are to
assume whatever Lucy edited managed to save him. It would be logical to assume
that his END powers are gone since both Zeref and the book are gone, but there
is no official confirmation as far as I know, and is thus debatable.

There is also a sequel called [Fairy Tail 100 Years
Quest](https://fairytail.fandom.com/wiki/Fairy_Tail_100_Years_Quest) that
picks off from where the original series ends, though the author is not Hiro
Mashima. I haven't read it, but the summaries don't suggest any usage of END
powers in the chapters so far. But since the sequel exists, it could end up
either way.
