Fairy Glitter and a Father's Iron Fist

Meanwhile, beneath the shade of the giant Tenrou Tree on Tenrou Island, at the grave of the first guild master, Mavis.

Cana was kneeling before the cold stone tablet, her face filled with resentment and determination.

She didn't care about the title of S-Class Mage, nor did she care about the reputation of being the strongest guild.

She just wanted to become stronger, strong enough to make her father proud, strong enough to have the power to protect her companions.

"For our comrades... for the guild..."

Cana's eyes were filled with tears, but her voice was incredibly firm.

"I need power! The power to protect everyone!"

This strong, heartfelt desire to protect his comrades seemed to have touched something.

A petite, translucent figure radiating a soft glow slowly emerged behind Cana.

She was a beautiful girl with long, light golden wavy hair that reached her ankles, as lovely as a fairy.

It was the ghost of Mavis Lyon, the first guild master of Fairy Tail.

"I sensed your warm and strong heart, your consideration for your companions."

Mavis's ethereal and gentle voice resonated in Cana's heart.

"Come, Take Over this power. One of the Fairy Tail's Three Great Magics — Fairy Glitter!"

Mavis extended her illusory hand and gently touched Cana's arm.

The next second, a complex and mysterious magic emblem appeared and spread on Cana's right arm as if it were alive, and finally bloomed with a dazzling golden light!

An unprecedentedly vast magical power filled Cana's entire body!

However, before Cana could recover from the shock of gaining this powerful ability, she and Gildarts, who was drinking by a tree in the distance, vanished simultaneously in a spatial distortion.

Another battlefield on Tenrou Island.

Bluenote Stega, the vice president of "Grimoire Heart," is searching for Mavis's Tomb with a fanatical expression.

His Gravity Magic was incredibly powerful; wherever it passed, everything was crushed and distorted by an invisible force.

Suddenly, two figures appeared out of thin air in front of him.

It was Gildarts and Cana who had just been teleported here by Jiang Bai.

"Hmm?" Bluenote stopped in his tracks, looking at the two who had suddenly appeared, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"Is this Fairy Tail? Perfect, tell me, where is the Fairy Glitter?"

Gildarts glanced at the dangerous-looking man opposite him, then at his daughter beside him who had just gained immense power and was eager to try it out, and sighed.

"I was originally planning to just finish you off," Gildarts said to Bluenote, taking a swig of his drink.

"However, it seems my daughter has something she wants to tell you first."

"Dad..." A blush of emotion appeared on Cana's face.

Immediately, her gaze sharpened, and she stared directly at Bluenote!

"The Fairy Glitter lies right here!"

Cana raised her arm, which was adorned with a magical emblem, high and poured all her magic power into it without reservation!

"Gather, O River of Light that guides the fairies!"

"Shine forth! To destroy the fangs of evil!"

"The Fairy Glitter!!"

Golden light converged into a colossal pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, bearing the power to judge everything, and crashed down upon Bluenote!

Faced with an attack that would make even the Ten Wizard Saints Mages pale, Bluenote's face revealed an even more fanatical smile!

"This is... the power I've been seeking!"

He suddenly raised both hands upwards!

"Gravity Supergravity Ball!"

A black sphere, visible to the naked eye and radiating a terrifying suction force, rapidly formed in his palm!

The black sphere was like a miniature black hole, actually holding back the earth-shattering golden beam of light, and even continuously absorbing and devouring the light!

"What?!" Cana exclaimed in shock.

Her magical foundation was ultimately too weak; she simply couldn't fully control this Super Magic.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the pillar of light was completely swallowed by the black hole, and Cana, exhausted from her magic, collapsed to her knees.

"Haha! Not bad strength!" Although Bluenote was also injured, his arrogance remained undiminished.

"But you are too weak! This power is a complete waste on you! Let me kill you and inherit this glory!"

He reached out his hand, and the black Gravity Magic coalesced once more.

However, the next second, an unimaginable and terrifying magical power that made his soul tremble erupted like an ancient behemoth awakening!

The air on the entire Tenrou Island seemed to freeze at that moment.

Gildarts slowly put down the wine jug in his hand, his eyes, which usually carried a hint of drunkenness, now turned icy cold.

He walked step by step to Cana, shielding his daughter behind him.

"I think I just heard something really shocking."

Gildarts' voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling edge capable of freezing the soul.

"Who did you just say you were going to kill?"

Bluenote was so overwhelmed by this terrifying magical pressure that he could barely breathe.

He couldn't believe that the man before him possessed a power several times stronger than his own!

"Impossible! I am the strongest! Gravity Magic..."

"Dispelling Evil and Revealing Truth - One Day!"

Gildarts gave him no chance. His iron fist, wrapped in the magic of "Crush," unleashed a simple yet incredibly powerful uppercut!

Bluenote's prized Gravity Magic was Crush instantly, like paper, before this punch!

A fist landed squarely on his chin.

Bluenote's figure transformed into a shooting star and disappeared into the horizon.

As Gildarts ended the battle.

The battle between Natsu and the God Slayer Mage Zancrow has reached its climax.

"The Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"Fire God's Bellow!"

The crimson dragon flames and the pitch-black divine fire collided and intertwined violently in the air. In the end, Natsu's flames were completely consumed by the ominous black flames.

"What?!" Natsu exclaimed in astonishment.

"Haha! Useless!" Zancrow laughed arrogantly.

"My flames are the flames of 'God'! They are meant to devour everything! Your mere Fire Dragon flames are nothing but food for me!"

Natsu frowned, looking at the arrogant black flames, and made an instinctive decision.

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath!

"Pfft, cough cough!"

However, the imagined feeling of restored magic did not come; instead, there was an excruciating burning pain, as if I had swallowed a deadly poison!

"This tastes awful! This isn't fire at all!" Natsu collapsed to his knees in agony, coughing violently.

"Foolish!" Zancrow's face was full of disdain.

"I've already told you, God Slayer Magic is not for consumption! It's power used to kill you!"

Pain, humiliation, and... the unwavering belief that they absolutely could not lose intertwined in Natsu's mind.

He can't lose!

We absolutely cannot lose!

Looking at Zancrow's arrogant face, Natsu's eyes ignited with a desperate flame.

Can't eat?

Then just eat it!

"Ahhh--!"

Natsu let out a beast-like Roar, opening his mouth wide and forcefully sucking the raging black flames into his body!

"Gulp... uh... ahh!"

An indescribable pain swept through his body, as if a million steel needles were piercing his internal organs. His magic surged wildly within him, almost tearing him apart.

"You're insane! Are you crazy?!" Zancrow was completely stunned by the suicidal scene before him.

In the midst of extreme pain, Natsu's consciousness became exceptionally clear.

He remembered Igneel's teachings and his guildmates.

He forcibly emptied the magic power within his body, transforming his body into a "container" to hold new power!

The pain gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented, violent, and powerful force!

Natsu slowly stood up.

Two completely different flames rose from his body.

Half of it is crimson dragon flames, and the other half is jet-black divine fire!

Black lines spread from his neck to his cheeks.

"Oh... I feel... power surging up!" Natsu grinned, a smile brimming with wild arrogance.

Thank you for your hospitality!

"You... you actually... fused with my flame?!" For the first time, Zancrow's voice was filled with fear.

"Then, try this!"

Natsu cupped his hands to his mouth, compressing and fusing the two distinct flame energies within them!

"Roar of the Fiery Dragon God!!"

A beam of destructive light, several times more powerful than before and a mixture of crimson and pitch black, shot out with a deafening roar!

Zancrow was instantly engulfed by this terrifying torrent that combined the power of dragons and gods.

"I... cannot... lose... to... mere... humans..."

With a roar of resentment, his body was utterly shattered, transforming into a shooting star and disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

The battle is over.
