Everyone was pushed back by the shockwave, and upon seeing that Acnologia was unharmed, they were all stunned.
What kind of damn physical body is this? Even concentrated magic fire had no effect. You should know that several people who got too close were crushed to death.
However, now was not the time to think about that. Seeing him lift his foot to stomp down, everyone quickly fled into the distance; anyone a second too slow would be flattened like paper.
"Truly unbelievable!"
Gildarts retreated. He had thought Irene was strong enough, but he hadn't expected Acnologia to be even more powerful; the Crush Magic he had just thrown out was resisted by that guy's physical body alone.
"Hahaha! Now this is interesting!"
Laxus's gaze was soul-piercing as he laughed loudly. Terrifying light erupted from his entire body, and strands of overflowing lightning charred the surrounding people to a crisp.
"Thunder Dragon Halberd!"
He took a throwing stance as a lightning trident coalesced, then hurled it with all his might. With a boom, it pierced through the horizon.
Seeing this, Acnologia simply pointed a finger at it, instantly obliterating the lightning trident. Then, with a flick of his finger, a black spear stabbed into the earth.
Rumble!
A massive earthquake struck the entire forest as black magic power exploded. Waves of destruction surged in all directions, tearing the earth apart for dozens of miles. Then, a gale swept through, peeling away layer after layer of soil. Everywhere it passed, all Mages were blasted into fragments.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Laxus looked at the earth torn apart for dozens of miles around him, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Fortunately, he had turned into lightning and dodged in time; otherwise, he would have been turned to ash on the spot.
"Killing over a thousand people with a single strike... what kind of damn monster is this?"
Everyone's expression changed drastically as they quickly backed away. What a terrifying guy! A casual strike made heaven and earth tremble and the ground collapse; they were simply no match for him.
This was no longer a free-for-all; this guy alone was going to defeat all the Mages in Fiore and stand supreme.
Naturally, the crowd wouldn't allow Acnologia to show off like this. They cast their magic again, colorful magic circles unfolding as various terrifying lights bloomed, engulfing him in an instant like an ocean tide.
"Something of this level can't hurt me!"
Acnologia walked out with his entire body wreathed in flames. He patted his pants, extinguishing the fire, then made a slashing motion with his hand. The earth tore open, and terrifying magic power gushed out; a group of people caught in the blast was instantly turned to ash.
The host and referees were already dazed. They weren't even on the same level; other people's magic was like an itch to Acnologia, while a single strike from him could take hundreds of lives.
Natsu shouted excitedly, "He's too strong, this Acnologia guy!"
"Fire Dragons Roar!"
He leaped into the air, flames erupting from his body as he aimed for Acnologia's weak points.
"Die!"
Acnologia was furious. This guy was treating him like that yak from before! He immediately swung a palm, flattening both the fire and the person into a meat patty.
(⊙﹏⊙)
Lucy trembled with fear and quickly told Virgo to dig even deeper. That guy was too terrifying; he was even so ruthless when hitting his own people.
"We can't win at all. Water, fire, ice, lightning—none of the magic has any effect."
Everyone had already brought out their strongest power, yet they were still helpless. This exaggerated combat strength was like it had broken through human limits; they even wondered if Ancient Dragons were this strong.
"This bastard hid himself so well?"
Makarov had long been dazed. He had originally thought Acnologia was on the same level as him, but seeing this exaggerated combat power now, the two were like heaven and earth. He wasn't even fit to carry that guy's shoes!
Gildarts retreated. He watched Erza activate Dragon Knight only to be kicked over a thousand meters away by Acnologia. With a face full of helplessness, he said, "That guy is simply a monster. Who can possibly beat him?"
With this kind of power that defied common sense, even a dragon would get slapped twice if it showed up.
"Acnologia has gone on a killing spree; he's completely unstoppable!"
"The pressure is too intense. Luckily this guy is from our guild; if he were an enemy, it would be too terrifying."
"No wonder he could crush both Oración Seis and Grimoire Heart so easily; this guy is incredibly fierce."
The members of Fairy Tail also retreated one after another. They never dreamed that guy would be so ridiculous; why didn't he seem this strong normally?
"Has Acnologia gotten carried away? Showing this kind of power... is he laying the groundwork for revealing his identity?"
Irene's expression showed no sign of concern. The corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile as she said, "Having hidden it until now, it's finally time to come clean. I wonder if they'll be able to accept it."
The same name, the same world-destroying power—no matter how slow the companions of Fairy Tail were, they were bound to notice something.
Acnologia stood in the sky, his massive body and surging magic power behind him churning like a cloak, making him look like a peerless demon god.
Along with several streaks of black light shooting forth, Gajeel and a large group of others were sent away on the spot, vanishing into light.
"We're not fighting anymore. You guys have fun!"
Seeing Erza's Dragon Knight treated like a toy, Mirajane couldn't help but call out their surrender along with Lisanna.
They weren't stupid; with such an obvious gap, it was better to be sensible. She didn't want to be thrashed like the Little Redhead.
As for her younger brother Elfman... he had already left the stage before even seeing Acnologia's transformation.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky and magic power churned, looking like black clouds overhanging the city, threatening to crush it.
Then, Jellal's cold voice rang out: "True Celestial Magic: Starfall!"
Acnologia looked up and saw a flaming meteor streaking across the sky. He laughed loudly and said, "This move again? This time, I'll let you have a taste!"
He stomped hard on the ground, rushing toward the sky at incredible speed, dodging the meteor to reach the firmament.
"Form Magic!"
Boom!
The meteor, which was originally only the size of a castle, instantly transformed into something the size of a town, filling the sky and falling while wreathed in flames.
"What is that?"
"A meteor?"
Everyone looked up at the shadow covering the sky, completely dumbstruck. How the hell are we supposed to play now?
Jellal was also bewildered. Now he couldn't even control the meteor's trajectory and could only watch helplessly as it crashed down, covering everyone.
Rumble!
In an instant, as if heaven's wrath were destroying the world, the exploding flames turned into a mushroom cloud. As far as the eye could see, the entire earth was collapsing, and endless lava surged into the sky, spreading and sweeping across everything as if to drown the world.
As for the Mages in the illusory magic space, they either surrendered or were crushed to ash by the meteor.
The people outside had long been stunned. It was a scene like the end of the world, where every living being was so tiny, like struggling ants.
The entire earth was in ruins, devoid of life; everything was destroyed!
