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

The woman gently shook her head: "I am indeed the god you speak of, but Diana is the name I dislike the most."

"You may call me... a dancer!"

"That was my original name, but I've been a god for so long that I'd almost forgotten it. It's not bad to experience it again now."

"Why are you spouting all that nonsense? This whole thing... you're the one who orchestrated it?"

Mirajane, now back to normal, stood up, staring directly at the dancer, and demanded an answer in a stern voice.

The dancer glanced at Mirajane: "Little girl, being short-tempered isn't a good thing."

"Besides, the fact that you few were even able to get here is purely an exception."

【"exception?"】

The group exchanged glances.

The dancer rolled her eyes: "Indeed, I had no intention of attracting higher beings, or even people. It's all... your fault for being too curious."

"All the spatial corridors are designed to attract powerful but low-intelligence monsters and demons."

"Therefore, it is precisely because of this that beings like you are the exception."

Henna instantly understood what this "exception" meant.

Demons possessing advanced intelligence—in other words, the Aetheric race—are an exception to this world.

As for Mirajane, he was an absolute exception; the Satanic spirit within him had long since lost all consciousness.

[This is something that almost everyone would be drawn to this so-called spatial corridor.]

However, Mirajane was also a highly intelligent human being.

【"but……"】

At this point, the dancer's tone abruptly changed.

Her tone remained alluring, but her words carried a chilling undercurrent.

"Now that you're here, you're not getting out!"

"After all... God's territory isn't a place you can just set foot in whenever you want!" Zero.

Chapter 206 A Deal from the Gods?

[Buzz...]

The instant the dancer finished speaking, a surge of immense magical power erupted like a sudden, towering wave.

The pure magic gathered together, even forming a visible vortex of magic.

Centered on Hennaz, a powerful magical storm enveloped an area spanning several kilometers in radius.

[Ultimate magic! Like a devastating storm! Like a raging ocean.]

Even the dancers in the eye of that terrifying storm couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Her hair, falling across her forehead, danced in the wind.

"So! Can I interpret this as a declaration of war?"

The storm of magic even caused the surrounding space to visibly distort.

At the center of this distortion, Henna slowly raised his head.

His dazzling golden eyes were fixed intently on the dancer.

Behind them, Mirajane stood frozen in shock, watching the rampaging magic around them.

"Is this... a joke? This level of magic? He's already reached this point??"

It felt like I was truly getting to know Henna for the first time.

The incredibly dense magical energy surrounding them was something Mirajane had never witnessed before.

[I never imagined that the people I've been with day and night... would possess such a vast amount of magical power!]

This is simply... a walking sea of ​​magic!

Erza and Sera, standing nearby, weren't in much better shape either.

This was the first time Erza had ever seen Haku Natsu at full power.

The sheer power of that constantly roaring magic alone is enough to instill fear in most people of this world!

[And so did Sera; a hundred years ago, during the war between humans and dragons, she had witnessed Honatsu's magic.]

However, it's quite obvious that the difference in his magical power between then and now is enormous.

[If we were to calculate it, we could even conclude that the magical power Hakunu possesses now is almost equal to the combined magical power of ten Hakunus from a hundred years ago!]

This is an extremely exaggerated matter.

[You should know... for Henna, the time he experienced was only a few years.]

[Boom boom boom!!!]

The magic roared incessantly, creating a deafening roar that even caused the goddess, the dancer, to experience tinnitus.

"Is this guy... really human?"

[Countless years have passed, and in the dancer's memory, no one seems to have ever possessed such powerful magic.]

This is no longer just a matter of whether something is powerful or not.

Rather... as a human, or even as a demon... this amount of magical power, logically speaking, should not be something a single life form could possess.

This is magical power that completely surpasses the limits of human physiology.

In other words, even if the person standing before the dancer was a prospective god with divine potential, the dancer could believe it.

This is... way too exaggerated!

【call……】

The dancer slowly exhaled.

[Look at Haku, who was even causing space to warp amidst the magical storm.]

She suddenly smiled and said, "What a boring human. It was just a joke, no need to take it so seriously."

"I dare not be careless when facing the gods!"

"Even if... this god is reduced to nothing but a soul!"

[Honatsu's voice rang out at that moment.]

"A soul?" Erza and the others behind her were suddenly stunned.

They exchanged a glance.

"Could it be... we're facing a ghost?" Erza asked.

"The soul of God? An incomplete God, right?" Sera murmured.

"Something like a thought entity?" Mirajane stared intently at the dancer before her.

The dancer narrowed her eyes slightly: "You actually noticed?"

As if she had thought of something interesting, her smile widened with excitement.

"I'm genuinely curious, what kind of monster are you?"

"Honestly, your existence even surpasses the comprehension of the gods. What exactly are you?"

"This kind of question is meaningless, isn't it?" Hanaz replied coldly.

"That's true," the dancer smiled nonchalantly.

"Since you've figured it out, you should know that what I just said was really just a joke. Even if I wanted to keep you here right now, I couldn't do it."

She shrugged indifferently.

The nonchalant tone made it seem as if he were talking about something completely unrelated.

Her beautiful eyes turned to Black Natsu: "So, you really don't need to do this. If you maintain such a massive output of magic power for a while, my little ones here might get out of control."

"So what? I can take care of those corpses in an instant!"

Hearing Black Natsu's words, a hint of helplessness flashed in the dancer's voice.

"That's the only offensive weapon I have in my Moon Goddess Domain. You wiped them all out, and now I'll have to collect them for a long time. Was it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

"You should know that you were the ones who first trespassed on my territory."

[In the storm, golden eyes flickered incessantly in the darkness, as if deep in thought, or perhaps observing something.]

After a long while, it seemed they were certain that no further danger was approaching.

The immense magical power gradually subsided.

[The scene begins with a series of crisp sounds as countless stones, lifted into the air by magic, crash back to the ground.]

The surroundings gradually returned to calm.

"What an extremely vigilant little brother."
