Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

However, the price was that the entire Tenrou Island, including all the main members of Fairy Tail on the island, were sealed away.

Time seemed to stand still, and it wasn't until seven years later, now, that the lockdown was finally lifted.

Seven years felt like a dream to them.

Yes, it really felt like a very, very long dream.

When I woke up, the whole world seemed to have changed.

The guild of yesteryear is now a thing of the past, leaving only ruins and sorrow.

The Wolf Group members successfully returned to the guild that day.

What they saw made their hearts tremble and their eyes well up with tears.

It's like the shock of a tycoon going bankrupt overnight; it almost suffocates them.

However, the most fatal blow came from those companions who remained in the guild.

Seven years have passed, seemingly taking away the youthful innocence from their faces.

All that remains is the vicissitudes of life after enduring countless hardships.

They were in dire straits, a situation that even the guild leader, Makarov, could not have imagined, given the loss of their main force.

How can the fairy's tail be preserved amidst the envious gazes of countless people?

However... the mere dozen or so mages who remained in the guild managed to do it.

Although they almost lost their most prized dignity for it.

Seeing all this, the members of the Sirius Group fell silent.

They didn't know how to comfort their traumatized companions.

Because no matter how the Sirius Group questioned them, all they received were their companions' indifferent smiles.

Yes, they don't care at all how much suffering they've endured over the past seven years.

As long as... we can successfully wait for the return of the Sirius Group.

that's enough.

The simple and unpretentious idea only fueled the grief and indignation of the Sirius Group.

They were saddened by what their companions had gone through over the years.

I am also angry at those who have taken advantage of my misfortune over the past seven years.

But...the one who is even angrier...is probably only himself, right?

Yes, the people we should hate the most are actually ourselves.

The ones who should bear all of this are actually ourselves.

If only we had run a little faster seven years ago.

If only we hadn't acted so impulsively seven years ago.

If we had been a little stronger seven years ago...

Countless possibilities flashed through the minds of all the returning members of the Sirius Group.

Ultimately, it all came down to the idea of ​​unification.

If they could possess even greater strength...

Could they have successfully fought the black dragon seven years ago and survived its roar?

So... does that mean all of this doesn't have to happen?

Natsu slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

His forehead veins bulged with anger.

The sound of clenched teeth followed.

"Damn it! It's all my fault... Despite being a Dragon Slayer Mage, I'm completely useless when facing dragons..."

Hearing Natsu's words, the other two Dragon Slayers present, Gajeel and Wendy, also pursed their lips.

Yes, the original purpose of Dragon Slayer Magic was to eliminate dragons.

However, he is one of the few Dragon Slayer Mages of this era.

However, when faced with the arrival of the dragon, they were completely powerless to fight back.

What on earth is this?

At this moment, even the three Dragon Slayer Mages had an unreal thought starting to emerge deep within their hearts.

Dragon-slaying magic... can it really slay dragons?

If they could, then why couldn't they leave even the slightest mark on the dragon seven years ago, despite the three of them exhausting all their magic?

It seemed as if he saw through the self-doubt in the three of them.

Gildarts, the middle-aged man in the guild and also the strongest mage in the guild, sighed softly.

Reaching out to stroke Natsu's cherry blossom-colored hair, she said, "Don't worry about it, Natsu."

"It's normal not to win with that kind of thing."

It seemed as if I could recall the first time I saw the black dragon.

Gildarts sighed, "Strictly speaking, it no longer belongs to the category of living beings."

"That was a complete monster, a monster that reigned supreme over the world."

“We’re already proud to have survived it,” Gildarts said softly.

Yes, that's something to be proud of.

It's worth noting that Gildarts, the strongest mage in the guild, only encountered a black dragon during a mission.

In an instant, he met a tragic end, his body crippled.

This time, it's already quite remarkable that everyone was able to survive the black dragon's world-destroying roar.

All the guild members present who had witnessed Black Dragon's power nodded in deep agreement.

A chorus of agreement rang out continuously.

After all, the Black Dragon is indeed an existence that humans cannot even begin to comprehend.

There's nothing shameful about being defeated by such an existence.

Natsu opened his mouth, about to say something.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped abruptly.

His brows furrowed deeply, and he listened with disbelief to the voice coming from the depths of his own heart.

[Ding! Live stream comparison complete, building world channel...]

Chapter Two: God's Creation?

At this moment, it wasn't just Natsu, but almost everyone present.

Everyone in this world heard that crisp notification sound that seemed to resonate deep within their hearts.

Immediately following was a violent tremor.

It was as if some heavy object had fallen from the sky, causing the entire continent to tremble!

Countless people raised their heads, puzzled.

Looking up at the sky, the boundless sky now had a giant screen.

The screen was split in two from the middle.

The left side has a white border, and the right side has a black border.

What's amazing is this huge screen, no matter where you look at it from in the world.

The whole picture can be seen clearly.

It was as if it didn't exist in the sky, but rather within everyone's sight.

The sudden scene silenced the entire Fairy Tail guild.

A look of horror appeared on their faces.

They ran out of the cramped guild and into the garden outside the guild.

All eyes were fixed on the enormous canopy in the sky.

Incredulous gasps followed.

"What...what is this?!"

"A magic crystal screen? No, it's impossible for one to be that big."

"A black and white screen... what on earth is this supposed to be?!"

"Hiss, who on earth has such a grand scheme? Is it some newly emerged guild?"
