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

[But this is not a problem with Berzelius.]

【"That's good……"】

Mavis nodded slightly.

"Now, we have no choice but to give it our all!"

Mavis clenched her teeth and murmured aloud.

[Then, he clasped his hands together and placed them under his chin.]

Her eyes closed tightly, and golden light gradually emanated from her body.

[His appearance... was just like that of a devout believer.]

At this moment, in the sky above, Acnologia's magical power had reached its peak.

The purest light of magic shines like the sun hanging in the sky.

【"roar!!!!"】

[A deafening roar of a dragon echoed through the air.]

A terrifying roar, building up to its peak, suddenly erupted!

【call out!!!】

That was a light powerful enough to dim everything, which streaked through the air with a sharp, tearing sound.

[This enveloped everyone below, along with the entire capital city of the Galactic Empire.]

It's as if it wants to devour everything.

All surrounding sounds seemed to vanish completely at that moment, leaving only the terrifying roar of the explosion, like a nuclear blast.

[It travels along the air, reaching beyond the nine heavens.]

The entire earth trembled at that moment.

Or rather, on this day, almost everyone living on the continent of Ishgar felt the earth tremble.

Some are strong, some are weak.

However, there is no doubt that the entire continent of Ishgar was affected.

[And at the epicenter of the explosion.]

The powerful shockwave almost swept away everything in its vicinity!

The building was destroyed in the explosion, pulverized into dust by the blast wave.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be nothing more than a mixture of black and white light.

Even the air itself was visibly distorted as a result.

The terrifying explosions gradually subsided only after a considerable amount of time.

All those despicable guys from before seem to have completely disappeared.

Whether it was that madwoman, that repulsive dragon, or even... the human who shattered his own dragon scales, they were all utterly reduced to ashes by this single blow.

[Only an enormous, incredibly deep crater remained.]

[A massive, deep crater...encompassing the capital of the Galactic Empire.]

There was nothing else besides that.

[“Roar!! Roar!! Roar!!”]

Acnologia raised his head and roared in cathartic fury.

The blood on his chest was crystal clear under the moonlight.

But Acnologia no longer cared.

The one... the only human capable of harming it, has vanished completely.

[Completely disappeared! It will never appear again!!]

From this day forward, you will still be the strongest being in this world.

There is no one here!

[Or perhaps any living being can surpass itself? No!!!]

[It howled to the sky for several minutes, as if venting its triumphant emotions.]

[It flapped its wings and slowly drifted away into the distance.]

[Only a pool of seeping dragon blood remained, dripping from mid-air onto the still-scorching earth.]

After a period of vaporization, only a patch of red earth remained.

[As if to testify to the bravery of the dragon slayer...]

Outside the sky.

The world channel was completely silent.

It began with the terrifying roar that Acnologia had been building up.

They fell silent.

Everyone thought that Acnologia would be very strong.

Even the strongest in the world.

But... I never expected it to be so overwhelmingly powerful.

Everyone gave it their all.

Even when Black Natsu went into his ultimate form and reached the absolute limit, becoming a Dragon King-level being, he still couldn't defeat Acnologia.

All that remains are scars on its body that are deep enough to seep blood.

However, from a certain perspective...

This might be the best result ever achieved by humans, or even... including dragons, in their battle against Acnologia.

After all, even the Flame Dragon King, who was also a Dragon King, had his soul extracted by Acnologia.

Such a record is already something to be proud of.

But... this is just the world's opinion, perhaps for Black Natsu, or even for Natsu in the White World.

Such a result can only be considered a failure.

The price of failure... is life.

The Magicians' Guild, Fairy Tail.

Silence enveloped the guild.

Even Igneel lowered his head.

At the moment depicted in the scene, Igneel inside Hazen is still asleep, making it impossible for him to come out and rescue Hazen.

Therefore, the ending may have already been predetermined.

Under such a world-destroying roar, perhaps, the strongest genius in all of history would truly perish here.

“Perhaps… there’s still a chance!” Mavis stared intently at the sky.

[Amidst the tranquil scene, a sudden, faint sound broke the silence.]

[Click-clack...click-clack...]

[It's like the sound of glass cracking after it's reached its limit.]

Outside the sky,

Countless people held their breath and quickly turned their gazes toward the sky.

Hades: "What's that sound??"

Brian: "Shattered? What's shattering? Why... can't I see it?"

Jura: "It seems... to be space?"

Ultear: "Space? No way, something like that..."

[Click-clack...click-clack...]

The sound of shattering continued.

【until……】

【boom!!!】

A crisp cracking sound followed.

In the tranquil space, fragments of gold suddenly appeared and shattered completely.

Immediately afterwards, the entire space began to distort visibly.

A massive golden sphere emerged amidst the distortion.

Golden streams of light, constructed from magic, floated on the surface of the sphere.
