Overwhelming Power Shatters All Techniques

"How... how could they actually fight that black dragon to this extent?"

Gildarts looked up at the two figures facing each other like gods in the sky, unaware that the wine jug in his hand had slipped from his grasp and fallen to the ground.

His expression was a mixture of shock, bitterness, and a hint of heartfelt relief.

"Jiang Bai... you brat, you've surpassed me by so much, so very much."

"Hateful!"

Natsu slammed his fist into the ground, creating a shallow, cracked crater, his face filled with resentment and anger.

"Am I, as Dragon Slayer, just supposed to stand here and watch helplessly at a time like this?!"

He hated his own powerlessness.

That should have been the battle he longed for most, the nemesis for whom he would give everything, but now, he didn't even have the right to approach the battlefield.

"Although I hate to admit it," Laxus said, arms crossed, his face grim.

"However, the fighting there is no longer something we can interfere with."

Even someone as proud as him had to admit, after witnessing firsthand the earth-shattering power, that it was completely beyond his comprehension.

Just as everyone's emotions were in different states, a new change occurred on the battlefield.

Jiang Bai, who was confronting Acnologia, seemed to have grown tired of this "magical game" of long-range bombardment.

His body began to grow larger and larger in a way that defied the laws of physics!

Ten meters, one hundred meters, five hundred meters!

"Um?!"

Laxus's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this.

This magic... he was all too familiar with this magic!

He turned sharply to look at Makarov beside him, and asked in an incredulous tone, "Grandpa! This magic is...?!"

A complex yet proud smile appeared on Makarov's wrinkled face, and he nodded.

"That's right, just what you think."

"That's Jiang Bai, the Giant Magic he learned from me."

This secret shocked everyone who overheard it.

Possessing such incredible, almost unsolvable mental and spatial magic, Jiang Bai can actually... use the president's Giant Magic?

How is that possible?

The principles and systems of these different types of magic are completely unrelated!

But for Jiang Bai, who possesses terrifying mental strength, learning any kind of magic is only a matter of time.

There's nothing he can't learn if he wants to.

Makarov's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a few months ago.

That day, Jiang Bai approached him with a rare serious expression, saying he wanted to learn Giant Magic.

Makarov was quite pleased at the time, patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder, and praised him earnestly, saying that he should do just that and enrich his means of dealing with the enemy.

Otherwise, if we keep relying on those two overpowered tricks, sooner or later someone will figure out how to counter them.

Makarov had even mentally prepared himself for a long teaching career.

It took him two whole months to learn and master Giant Magic.

Even with Jiang Bai's talent, though far superior to his, it would still take him at least two weeks to even begin to grasp the basics, right?

He even planned out the teaching schedule for the next two weeks.

On the first day, the core principles of Giant Magic will be explained.

The next day, he was taught how to manipulate magic to begin the process of increasing his body size.

Day three...

As it turned out, reality gave him a big "surprise".

The lesson began that afternoon.

Makarov, his mouth dry, meticulously explained the principles of Giant Magic and how magic works to Jiang Bai.

After listening, Jiang Bai simply said "Oh" and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then, in front of Makarov, he held up one finger.

The finger, under Makarov's horrified gaze that nearly popped out of his head, slowly and steadily transformed into a gigantic finger as thick as a roof beam.

Makarov was stunned.

He circled the enormous finger several times, even poking it to make sure it wasn't a hallucination.

The next day, Jiang Bai was already able to skillfully transform himself into a ten-meter-tall giant and play sumo wrestling with the equally gigantic Makarov on the back mountain of the guild.

To be precise, the instruction lasted for less than half a day.

That prodigy completely mastered the essence of Giant Magic.

Makarov's worldview was shaken like never before on that day.

Jiang Bai's decision to learn Giant Magic was also a well-thought-out one.

He had long known that he would eventually face off against the pinnacle of combat power in the world of Acnologia.

He also knew that Acnologia, due to his special physique, possessed an almost abnormally high resistance to all magic except for Dragon Slayer Magic.

Even Jiang Bai, with his invincible "Zi", couldn't guarantee 100% that he could defeat this thick-skinned black dragon with his magic alone.

Since magic can't break through, let's use the most primal and purest power to solve the problem.

One force can overcome all laws!

Makarov's Giant Magic was undoubtedly the most suitable way to realize this idea.

The principle behind this magic is simple and brutal—the more magic power consumed, the larger the body becomes; the larger the body becomes, the more terrifying the physical power it can unleash.

For Jiang Bai, a monster whose magic power has never run out since he came of age, this is practically a divine skill tailor-made for him.

My thoughts returned to reality.

Above the sky, Jiang Bai's body had swelled to a terrifying size, almost identical to that of the black dragon Acnologia!

A black, towering giant stood on the ground, facing off against the black dragon that represented destruction.

The scene was so magnificent, it was as if a myth had come to life.

"Old man."

A deep, thunderous sound slowly drifted down from the sky.

This is Jiang Bai speaking after he has grown to a gigantic size.

"Take the rest of you and get away from here."

He did not urge everyone to leave Tenrou Island immediately.

Jiang Bai knew very well that these idiots would never abandon their companions and run away on their own.

They could accept that their own strength was insufficient and that they would become a burden, thus choosing not to interfere with Jiang Bai's battle.

However, never abandoning any family member is an unshakable bottom line etched deep in the soul of every member of "Fairy Tail".

Since that's the case, Jiang Bai didn't bother to waste any more words.
