Time flew by, and the final stage of the Grand Magic Games arrived. Originally, this stage was meant to rank the strongest guilds, but now the strongest guild was already beyond doubt.
"First place: Fairy Tail Second Team, total score: 100 points!"
"Second place: Sabertooth, total score: 39 points!"
"Third place: Fairy Tail First Team, total score: 22 points!"
"Fourth place: Grimoire Heart, total score: 20 points!"
"Fifth place: Lamia Scale, total score: 12 points!"
"Sixth place: Crime Sorcière, total score: 9 points!"
The host Jellal Fernandez shouted passionately, "The above are the scores for the final competition. Fairy Tail Second Team has achieved the final victory. Fiore's strongest guild is..."
"Fairy Tail!"
Everyone cheered excitedly. Fairy Tail had always been the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, and after this competition, it finally lived up to its reputation.
Most importantly, two teams from the same guild were on the leaderboard at the same time; it was truly a gathering of top-tier experts.
Hearing the cheers from below, he continued, "Yesterday, the Kingdom made changes to the final stage. We invite all Mages to participate in a ten-thousand-person battle royale. After the match ends, the winner will be awarded ten million Jewels."
"Ten million Jewels!"
Makarov's heart raced, and he asked loudly, "Are there no restrictions at all?"
"Can the guilds that lost also participate?"
"How do we sign up?"
Many Mages in the audience shouted excitedly, with some already standing up impatiently.
The host Jellal Fernandez explained, "The battle royale has no restrictions. Age, magic, strength, and status are not issues. As long as you enter the illusory magic space, you are considered a participant."
"Just like the first stage, no deaths will occur in the battle royale. Everyone can use all their magic to their heart's content. As long as you are the last one standing in the illusory magic space, you will achieve the final victory!"
All the Mages cheered and shouted. Their guild teams hadn't had a chance to go on stage before, and now it was finally their turn.
Furthermore, any means are allowed in the arena. If they were lucky enough to get the ten million prize, how many jobs would they have to work to earn that much?
Natsu was incredibly excited, "Wahahaha, I'm all fired up now!"
Hearing the enthusiastic cheers, Lucy felt a bit nervous. A solo match—didn't that mean everyone was an opponent?
"Is Sister Irene going to participate?"
"I'm not participating!"
Irene refused flatly. With Acnologia on the field, she wasn't going up there just to get beaten up.
"Juvia is going to help Lord Gray!"
Juvia looked at Gray in the distance, her heart fluttering and her face blushing; she couldn't wait to rush up.
"I want to sign up, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Charge!"
The Mages swarmed toward the arena. At a glance, it seemed like everyone in the entire stadium was rushing over.
Acnologia also planned to join in the fun. His magic power was too strong; every punch and kick could take a life, and Dragon Slaying Magic was a lethal means of hunting dragons. Since there would be no deaths, he could finally cut loose.
Everyone arrived inside the illusory magic space. This time, it transformed into a forest world. Everyone was scattered and given time to prepare.
Of course, a forest was no different from a desert or a plain; it would be completely destroyed after a few battles.
In the distance, people had already started fighting. Countless magic circles unfolded in the sky, releasing powerful and terrifying energy that blasted the soil and trees into scorched earth.
Some even turned into giant beasts or giants, like Makarov and Elfman. These two big guys were immediately besieged, getting bombarded before they could even do anything.
"Let me be the big boss!"
Acnologia had a thought and suddenly wanted to do something fun. Using Form Magic, he directly enlarged his body, transforming into a hundred-meter giant and instantly becoming the most conspicuous presence.
He looked at the forest and the ant-like people beneath his feet. With one step, he flattened an area; with a wave of his sleeve, he could stir up a gale.
"I'm even more powerful than Ultraman now!"
Every move Acnologia made caused a massive earthquake; anyone close by would be sent flying by the tremors.
"So huge!"
"Isn't that guy Acnologia? He can actually grow that big?"
Everyone looked up, their eyes nearly popping out. This giantification was ridiculous; just now, Makarov could only grow to fifty meters, but this guy had directly doubled that.
Lucy was already hiding in a hole dug by Virgo. Peeking at this scene, she was so shocked her mouth hung open, "Isn't he afraid of being focused down by everyone if he gets that big??"
However, after seeing Acnologia kick away hundreds of people at once, she immediately retracted that thought. This guy was just a super monster; he was too violent.
"I won't be polite!"
Gray's face showed excitement as he immediately sent a wave of ice to freeze him. However, it didn't even reach Acnologia's knees and shattered as soon as he moved.
"It's you, kid!"
Acnologia had great eyesight and spotted the ant-like Gray at a glance. With one step, he crushed him like paper, turning him into light to be teleported out.
"Lord Gray..."
Juvia looked furious, "I'll fight you to the death!"
She unleashed her full power, a surge of water sweeping over in a turbulent flood. In the end, it only served as foot-washing water for Acnologia before she was kicked away.
Now everyone knew who to attack. This Acnologia was ridiculously strong; even with hundreds of people focusing their fire, they couldn't take him down. This big guy's physique was simply too powerful.
"Amaterasu Hyakushiki!"
A massive purple magic circle unfolded in the sky, enveloping the hundred-meter-tall Acnologia. Several terrifying pillars of light launched an bombardment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One explosion after another rang out, and waves of destruction raged and spread. Some unlucky people were directly shaken to death by the aftershocks.
"Hades!"
Acnologia didn't expect this old geezer to come in as well. Hadn't seen him for a few days, and he thought he was capable again?
He raised his hand, pulled out a tree that reached his waist, and without hesitation, slammed it down toward Hades' head.
"This is..."
Hades looked up at the falling tree roots, suddenly struck with terror. Just as regret welled up in his heart, he became fertilizer for the tree.
"Good grief, he literally planted the man into the ground along with the tree?"
"Isn't that old man the Guild Master of Grimoire Heart? A peak Ten Wizard Saints powerhouse was just insta-killed?"
Everyone was incredibly shocked. This guy was too ruthless—smashing an old man with a fifty-meter-tall tree, he had no sense of respecting the elderly or loving the young.
"Everyone, attack together! Let's blast this guy out first!"
"Too arrogant! He completely disregards me, Brother Kun!"
"That's right! Let's show him what we're made of and let him know how powerful we are!"
In an instant, a thousand magic circles unfolded, focusing their fire on Acnologia. Waves of destruction tore through the earth, and an entire forest was blasted to smithereens.
This time it actually had an effect. Not only did it make Acnologia take a few steps back, but the clothes he bought for 20,000 Jewels were also blasted to shreds.
