<p>This explains how Natsu is able to survive post Zeref's death. We are to assume whatever Lucy edited managed to save him.

thanks for your great explanation...I'm currently reading the 100 years quest manga and there was a little sign of END being alive in Natsu.As far as I can explain that incident, the END which is now (debateably) alive in Natsu is super sensitive to powerful magic.It would be more accurate if i say that, **END gains it's power from powerful magic sources like "Black Flames"**...Btw, you can try reading the manga.I think it will be better than FT.

<p>As we read in the <strong>Fairy Tail</strong> manga,</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Because of choosing to stay human, the two seeds inside Natsu's body(Dragon seed &amp; Demon seed) was vanished</strong></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Does that mean,  <strong>END(Etheriois Natsu Dragneel)</strong> is dead?</p>

<p>I have another reason of suspicion because of <strong>Zeref Dragneel</strong>.As we know, </p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Zeref</strong> is the one who revived <strong>Natsu</strong> as his <strong>strongest demon of book of zeref, END</strong></p>
</blockquote>

<p>So now that <strong>Zeref</strong> is dead, isn't it normal for <strong>END</strong> to be dead too?</p>

Is Natsu's Etherious form still alive?

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?

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 that if Zeref died it would possibly mean his own death as well. Natsu ignored this and declared his intentions of wanting to kill Zeref only for 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)

When the Book disappeared Lucy claimed that she did all she could to help Natsu and worried that he could disappear along with the Book.

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.
