A Thousand-Meter Greatsword!

Jiang Bai's calm yet absolutely domineering words were like a thunderclap in Midnight's ears.

"Forbidden?! Forbidden?!" Panic appeared on Midnight's face for the first time; he couldn't understand such a thing.

"Are you kidding me! Magic is the manifestation of the soul, how could it possibly be 'banned'!"

Unconvinced, he once again mobilized all his magical power, attempting to twist the earth beneath his feet and devour everyone.

However, nothing happened.

The surrounding space was like a block of ice frozen for billions of years, and no matter how much magic he activated, he could not budge it in the slightest.

It was as if his prized Space Magic had become a joke here.

"Still haven't given up?" Jiang Bai yawned, looking at him with the same expression one would give a child playing in the mud.

"You're like a fish trying to climb a tree. Even though we're both mages who manipulate space, you don't even understand the most basic principles."

"In this realm, space has an owner."

"And now, standing here, I am its master."

"You..."

An unprecedented fear gripped the Midnight's throat. He finally realized that the man before him possessed a level of understanding and control over space that was beyond his comprehension.

He can no longer use Space Magic!

"Since that's the case..." A ruthless glint flashed in Midnight's eyes. If Space Magic wouldn't work, then he would use the purest form of dark magic!

He turned his attack on the group of people behind Jiang Bai who seemed to have lost their fighting ability.

Genesis Zero!

A dark magic circle unfolded behind him, and countless twisted vengeful spirits let out silent wails as they rushed towards Erza, and the Lucy.

However, Jiang Bai remained standing in the same spot, without even moving an inch.

Before those terrifying vengeful spirits could even get close to the people, they vanished and evaporated silently, like snow meeting the scorching sun, as if they had never existed.

"You don't actually think I just suppressed 'space,' do you?" Jiang Bai looked at him with amusement.

"I was just too lazy to distinguish them one by one, so I simply suppressed 'your' magic."

This sentence became the final straw that broke the Midnight's back.

His strongest trump card was completely nullified, and even his prized dark magic was like child's play in front of his opponent.

This man... is a complete monster!

"Alright, your round is over," Jiang Bai cracked his knuckles, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

"Now, it's my turn."

"Don't you like things twisted?"

Jiang Bai extended his index finger and gently made a "twisting" motion towards the Midnight.

"Ah--!"

The next second, Midnight suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, curled up on the flying carpet, and began to tremble violently.

He felt that the surging magic within him had completely lost control at this moment, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, raging and tearing through his body, twisting his meridians, and squeezing his bones.

That was more terrifying than any form of torture—a self-destruction from within.

Jiang Bai only held on for a second before withdrawing his hand.

The screams in the Midnight abruptly stopped. He fell from the flying carpet like a rag doll, crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness completely.

The entire battlefield was deathly silent.

Erza, Gray, and even Natsu, who had just been excitedly clamoring for battle, all stared in disbelief at the scene before them, speechless.

Sold out in seconds, again sold out in seconds.

Moreover, it's a method that's almost "divine," one that they can't even comprehend the principles behind.

This is Jiang Bai's strength.

"Alright," Jiang Bai clapped his hands as if he had done something insignificant. He turned around and turned his gaze back to the enormous weapon that was still slowly moving in the distance.

"The troublesome guys are all taken care of; now it's time to get down to business."

"It's time to take that big guy down."

Having eliminated the final obstacle, Midnight, Jiang Bai turned his gaze back to the colossal Nirvana in the distance.

Meanwhile, inside Nirvana, Brain, his face ashen, watched through the magic crystal as his most prized son was easily defeated by that man in a way he couldn't comprehend at all.

The damaged muzzle at the front of Nirvana had only been repaired to less than half its original size.

"Damn monster!"

Brain knew he couldn't wait any longer. If he allowed that man to continue causing destruction, even if Nirvana had a strong self-repairing ability, it would eventually be torn down into a pile of scrap wood.

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he slammed his hands onto the control panel.

"Since shelling is useless, then I'll use this incomparably massive body to crush you into dust!"

With a roar, Nirvana's six enormous limbs exerted force, and its massive body charged towards Jiang Bai and the others at a speed completely disproportionate to its size.

With each step, the earth groaned in agony.

"Whoa! That huge thing is charging at us!"

Lucy, terrified, turned pale as she watched the mobile fortress hurtling towards her like a small mountain.

"Jiang Bai, think of something quick!"

"Yosh! Watch this!"

Having just recovered from motion sickness, Natsu was now filled with fighting spirit. Looking at the huge target charging towards him, he excitedly merged the flames in his left and right hands into one.

"The Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"

A massive fireball, woven from dragon flames and ordinary fire, hurtled toward Nirvana with astonishing heat.

Even though Nirvana is made of trees, it has a natural disadvantage against fire-attribute attacks.

Natsu's all-out attack only left a charred mark on its massive leg, which was quickly covered by its self-repairing magic.

"Alright, let me do it."

Jiang Bai stepped forward and said calmly, "Let me show you what a thousand-meter-long greatsword really is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, and powerful Psychokinesis began to gather, causing the surrounding air to hum.

An invisible sword hilt took shape in his hand, and then a blade made of pure energy began to extend wildly upwards.

Ten meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters...

Until it forms a giant energy sword with a blade that pierces the sky and is a thousand meters long!

Seeing this miraculous scene before them, everyone gaped, utterly speechless.

"Hibiki... Brother Hibiki," Ivan swallowed hard, patting the equally stunned Hibiki beside him.

"Um... I think we shouldn't compete for first place in the Sorcerer Weekly. Second place is actually pretty good too."

Xiang could no longer speak; he simply nodded blankly and forcefully.

"Hmm, Nirvana's defensive capabilities are indeed quite good."

After Jiang Bai finished condensing the greatsword, he muttered something to himself.

Through Mental Detection, he had already located the power Magic Crystals hidden at the top of Nirvana's six giant legs. As long as he could destroy all six crystals at the same time, this behemoth would completely collapse.

To ensure absolute safety, he focused his mind and imbued the thousand-meter-long sword blade with the sharp power of spatial attributes.

The next second, under Jiang Bai's control, the colossal energy sword that reached the heavens and the earth, with an aura that could cut through everything, cleaved through the sky.

A perfect arc, a seemingly ordinary sweep.

The giant sword silently swept past Nirvana's six massive legs, which were moving at breakneck speed.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, with a "crack" sound, the six huge Magic Crystals shattered simultaneously.

Nirvana lost all its power sources, Nirvana's massive body collapsed with a deafening roar, turning into a pile of useless wreckage amidst violent tremors and billowing dust.
