A giant crater had formed in the ground, filled with sharp spikes soaring into the sky.
"Gildarts!" Jura took a deep breath, calming his shocked heart, then turned his head and cried out in pleasant surprise.
Jura was very clear about Gildarts's strength; he was definitely an existence far surpassing him.
If Gildarts himself hadn't refused the Ten Wizard Saints selection, he would probably already be among them.
Moreover, with Gildarts's strength, he could even rank among the top three.
Seeing Gildarts's arrival, the Three Heavenly Kings also showed joy; with such a powerful Magician joining, victory in this battle was even more assured.
However, God Serena showed no reaction to the name and sneered, "Gildarts? Never heard of him! You all go die together!"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes instantly turned pitch black, and an unparalleled, powerful aura surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire area.
He didn't care who came; under his strength, no one on this continent could defeat him, after all, he was the number one among the Ten Wizard Saints.
Gildarts, who had already arrived beside Jura, also let out a surprised gasp, looking at God Serena with astonished eyes.
Such powerful magic indeed deserved the title of the number one Ten Wizard Saints.
But that arrogant demeanor made Gildarts shake his head; with such a conceited personality, he truly seemed to believe there was no one stronger than him on this continent.
At the same time, two Dragon Slayer Magic of different attributes were activated simultaneously.
"Sea King Dragon's Water Formation Circle!" "Storm Dragon's Storm Snow Moon Flower!" The water and wind attribute Dragon Slayer Magic intertwined, sweeping towards everyone.
As Gildarts's attack landed, the towering spikes instantly turned into dust under this attack.
Jura and Warrod exchanged glances, both instantly preparing to unleash their magic together.
However, Gildarts smiled and reached out, directly stopping them, saying, "Leave it to me!"
Then he roared, "Crush~" An invisible magical fluctuation on Gildarts's palm rushed directly towards the Dragon Slayer Magic.
The moment the two attacks collided, the sharpness of the wind and the strangulation of the water were instantly split into tiny molecules, directly turning into a gentle spring breeze and fine rain.
Under the sunlight, these tiny water droplets refracted seven-colored light, forming a beautiful rainbow.
"Quite the magic, isn't it?"
"Hahahahaha~"
Gildarts withdrew his hand, placed his hands on his hips, and burst into laughter directly in front of God Serena.
His laughter echoed in the air, full of confidence and triumph, completely disregarding God Serena's extremely ugly expression and the shocked gazes of the surrounding people.
Two Dragon Slayer Magic, with no resistance, were merely countered by Gildarts's casual strike.
This scene shocked Jura, Warrod, and the others; they could cooperatively resist such an attack, but it would never be this easy, and they secretly marveled at Gildarts's power.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the man who used the super-high-level destruction magic—Crush.
The five of them would definitely be able to defeat this man in front of them in this battle.
God Serena, on the other hand, looked at Gildarts with a gloomy expression, his eyes flickering with anger and unwillingness.
"Even if a dragon appeared before me, I would slay it. What is your magic compared to that?"
"Anyone who stands in my way must die!"
God Serena's magic power surged out again, his eyes becoming even blacker and deeper, like a bottomless abyss.
Eight Dragon Slayer Magic gradually emerged, the aura of the eight dragons unleashing, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped everyone.
The Three Heavenly Kings and Jura, who had held a glimmer of hope, instantly froze, unable to move.
Clearly, God Serena's previous attacks were merely a test for them.
"Hmm~, are you going all out? It seems I need to get serious too!"
Gildarts's expression suddenly changed, his gaze becoming sharp and firm, and a powerful crushing force emanated from around his body.
Instantly, the entire ground cracked into small squares, rushing directly towards God Serena.
Everything in its path turned to dust.
The moment the two powerful forces collided, the entire world was enveloped in an aura of death.
Gildarts and God Serena stared at each other, their powers fiercely clashing.
Suddenly, both their gazes narrowed simultaneously. Then, with a loud bang, the two figures collided violently.
The storm instantly blew everything around them away.
"Careful!" Jura cried out in alarm.
Clapping his hands, he yelled, "Rock Mountain!"
Warrod also clenched his hands, and countless plants grew wildly, shielding them, but the destructive power constantly eroded their defensive magic.
"Gildarts is actually this strong!" Hyberion exclaimed in shock as he watched Gildarts, who was exchanging blows with God Serena, punching him in the face in the distance.
He had indeed heard of Gildarts's formidable strength before, but seeing it now still left him astonished.
"Indeed, with this strength, we old guys are no match!" Wolfheim stroked the beard on his chin, sighing with emotion.
"When this war is over, us old guys should retire!"
"The future ultimately belongs to the younger generation!" Warrod said with a smile in his eyes; he was very satisfied with Gildarts, not to mention other S-Class Mages in Fairy Tail.
They had all grown into towering trees!
...
In a town on the other side of the border, Laxus stood with his arms crossed, his gaze coldly fixed on the laughing enemy in front of him.
The Thunder God Tribe and some of the Fairy Tail members, leading the Council and kingdom soldiers, had already charged into the rear army, slaughtering everything in their path.
"You're one of the so-called Spriggan 12, aren't you!" Laxus, his body crackling with lightning, no longer concealed his killing intent as it enveloped the Judgement, Wall Eehto.
"Oh~" Wall Eehto's eyebrow twitched, and he spread his hands, causing magic circles to instantly appear around him.
"Alchemy of copper and zinc, refining into nine-millimeter bullets!" The moment he swung his arm down, countless bullets instantly shot out.
Laxus's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't dodge.
The bullets were instantly pulverized by currents of electricity before they even got close to Laxus.
Laxus's gaze narrowed. In the sky, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket instantly struck Wall Eehto.
Wall Eehto's body trembled, and he was sent flying, but he quickly got back up, his eyes growing even more excited: "Oh? You have some skill, but that's not enough!"
"Let me analyze this!" A red light flashed in Wall Eehto's eyes, as if he could see through everything.
A moment later, his gaze instantly became sharp, and his previously playful expression completely vanished.
He said in a deep voice, "You… are you really human?!"
At this moment, in his eyes, the rampant lightning power within Laxus's body, and his magic power that was on par with his own, made it truly hard to imagine that such an existence could be found on this continent.
"Whether I'm human or not, you can feel it for yourself!" Laxus roared, erupting with a powerful aura, and instantly vanished from his spot.
Wall was also startled, and the moment he sensed movement behind him, he tried to react, but it was too late.
With a bang, his body was sent flying by a powerful force, directly smashing through several houses.
Wall twisted his body in the air, quickly adjusted his posture, landed steadily, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he disdainfully said:
"What a pity, if you had faced someone else, you might have had a chance to win!
""But for me, lightning is ineffective!" With that, Wall activated his magic again, and a huge magic circle appeared on the ground, emitting a mysterious light.
"Alchemy activated! Personality setting rewritten to ruthless, exoskeleton reinforced, target locked onto Laxus alone!"
"Magic fusion reactor ignited!"
Following Wall's command, the energy in the magic circle continuously converged, and his body began to change, covered by a hard metal shell, appearing even more formidable and arrogant.
Then, a lit cannonball from his chest blasted towards Laxus.
Laxus snorted coldly, and lightning quickly condensed into a long spear in his hand. He wielded the spear with great force, directly blasting the cannonball into the sky.
With a thunderous roar, the entire sky instantly ignited, as if devoured by flames.
"Haha, how about that? My cannonball is pretty good, isn't it!" Wall Eehto laughed loudly, his voice filled with triumph.
The thrusters behind him suddenly ignited, propelling him with powerful momentum directly towards Laxus.
Seeing this, Laxus bent his knees and simultaneously began to gather powerful lightning in his fists. He swung with force, engaging in a fierce exchange of blows with Wall Eehto.
The moment the two clashed, the ground instantly vibrated violently, and ripple-like energy waves rapidly spread outwards.
"This is truly good, let's have a good fight!" Wall Eehto said coldly, his eyes glinting with a ruthless light.
The next second, he grabbed Laxus with both hands, and a giant alchemical missile from the sky rapidly hurtled towards them.
"Fight? Unfortunately! I don't have time!" Laxus snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in his tone.
At the same time, a massive golden magic circle rapidly condensed in the sky, and lightning power raged wildly above.
"What~" Wall Eehto cried out in shock, an astonished expression on his face.
However, before he could react, a thick pillar of lightning descended from the sky, completely engulfing both Laxus and Wall Eehto…
