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

Abba Green: "You understand? But the soldiers in the celestial display have lost all will to fight. Victory could have been declared at this point, so why... do you have to wipe them out?"

Just then, Mavis's voice came from the celestial display...

"Master...isn't this...a bit too cruel?"

After defeating Ethel, Mavis and her group arrived at Hanaz and Irene's side.

Seeing the horrific scene on the battlefield ahead, and hearing the screams of the soldiers.

Even Mebius felt a pang of guilt.

Ultimately, she's still just a child.

[Honatsu, arms crossed and watching the battlefield, turned to look at Mavis.]

"Do you think...this is cruel?"

Mavis nodded silently.

"Regardless, their morale has collapsed. We've already won this war, so there's really... no need to continue."

Hearing Mavis's words, Hagatsu and Irene exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Mavis, to be honest, I envy your naiveté."

Eileen looked at Mavis and gently shook her head.

"Three hundred years ago, I was just as naive as you, but... that's not an emotion a proper king should have."

"However, we are not surprised that you could say such a thing."

Henna took a deep breath, then turned to look at the battlefield.

[Eyes slightly narrowed: "But, I'm telling you, this...is not enough!"]

Mavis's pupils contracted slightly.

Yuri and the others behind him couldn't help but tremble.

[This is the first time!]

They felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards the master before them!

A hint of... fear I've never felt before!

"Have you ever thought about this? We won this war, but what if there's a next time? What if... there's a time after that?"

Henaz's voice was soft, but to Mavis, it sounded as heavy as a drumbeat.

"As long as greed exists in people's hearts, war will not end. Even if the open war ends, a war in the shadows will begin."

"What I want is lasting peace, and peace..."

He turned around and looked directly at Mavis.

"No mercy!"

"In this world, the only thing that can suppress greed is fear!"

5.3 [“Therefore, since we have decided to go all out… we must resolve all potential problems at once.”]

"We must stop the killing with killing, so that from this day forward, they will tremble with fear whenever the name of the Galactic Empire is mentioned."

"The moment a greedy thought arises, it feels like touching upon death."

"They must ensure that their descendants bear this fear."

"We must ensure that their descendants will tremble at the mere mention of the Galactic Empire!"

"As for those people... they should have been prepared to die in the first place."

"From the moment they chose to set foot on this land as invaders!"

"The only way to survive is to win!"

"This is war, Mavis."

[Hennaz reached out and stroked Mavis's head.]

"Kindness is a wonderful thing; don't abandon it. But... sometimes, ruthless methods and a strong mentality are key to protecting what's important and who's important."

"Besides, even if we don't kill them, they will still die, after all..."

Henna's gaze drifted towards the distant sky.

"That guy's almost here!"

[In the square of the Galactic Empire's capital, Belserion, whose eyes had been closed, opened them.]

[His face was extremely pale: "So fast... I haven't had enough time."]

Chapter 162 Acnologia, makes his appearance!

This is perhaps the first time that everyone has truly understood Honatsu's inner thoughts.

Or perhaps it's because Natsu also exists in this world, and he is an incredibly kind-hearted Natsu.

This led to everyone being shocked that Black Natsu could utter such words from the sky.

And bewilderment.

At this very moment, the crowd that had been watching the sky for so long...

It was as if they were meeting Honez for the first time.

This guy... isn't the idiot they know.

Rather, he was a ruthless person who, for the sake of his goals, was willing to kill without hesitation and bear the title of executioner.

Igniru couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Perhaps... what Honez did was right, or perhaps... only someone like him can truly protect everything he wants, only someone like him... truly deserves the title of king."

Grandine stared blankly at Iguniru.

"Even Igneel thinks that way?"

"It's just a pity... that someone like him has to face that kind of guy before he's even grown up... I seriously doubt he'll survive," Medalicana sighed softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, countless people realized what was going on.

Yes, the war is not over yet!

At this very moment, an even greater crisis awaits the Galactic Empire, and awaits Hazen.

Acunolokia!

That terrifying entity that once wiped out Fairy Tail on Tenrou Island.

Upon realizing this, everyone in the guild fell silent.

[In the scene, the carnage on the battlefield is nearing its end, with most of the dragons having already retreated within the city walls.]

All eyes turned to Eileen and Black Natsu, who stood atop the 22-meter-high platform.

At this moment, they were facing away from the dragons, their eyes fixed intently on the sky.

Eileen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He couldn't help but ask, "Really? Is that guy coming?"

"It should be soon. I can feel that faint, rumbling magical power," Hennaz replied in a deep voice.

Perhaps it was the serious look in their eyes.

Mebius also put the war behind him.

He looked at Henna with some concern.

"Master, what exactly are you talking about?"

【"——————!!!"】

[The very instant Mavis finished speaking!!]

A strange noise, its origin unknown, drifted from the horizon.

For no apparent reason, Mebius broke out in goosebumps all over her body.

"What...is this??"

Outside the sky.

The members who had participated in the Battle of Sirius Island heard that sound the moment they heard it.

They all shivered inexplicably.

“This is…” Gray raised his eyes.

"This voice... there's no mistake!" Gajeel gritted his teeth.

No matter what, he will never forget that scene.

On Sirius Island, they heard the exact same sound as in the sky.

Hearing it again now is like... being transported back to that time once more.
