Heaven and Earth Transformation and the Dragon's Fear

The Black Dragon King's Roar, a destructive torrent powerful enough to erase existence itself, was engaged in a fierce confrontation with the invisible barrier in front of Jiang Bai.

Back in the Tower of Heaven, when Jiang Bai was preparing to withstand the Etherion capable of destroying a nation, he had already clearly realized one thing.

"Limitless" does not mean truly Limitless at all.

When the energy density and duration of the attack exceed the threshold of the technique's automatic processing, it will also be breached.

Therefore, Jiang Bai had no choice but to allocate a portion of his magic power to continuously reinforce and repair the "Infinity" barrier in front of him.

Thus, this earth-shattering duel, at this moment, transformed into a contest of the purest and most primal magic.

It all comes down to whose "blue bar" is longer and can hold out longer.

The result came quickly.

After a mere ten seconds of stalemate, Acnologia's devastating Roar slowly dissipated into the air as its momentum waned.

The destructive torrent has stopped.

But this does not mean that the Black Dragon King's magic power has been exhausted.

Jiang Bai knew very well that with the black dragon's magical power, it could unleash several more Roars of that magnitude.

Jiang Bai, however, has never been one to passively take a beating.

Since you still have the energy to yell, it means you weren't hit hard enough.

He slowly raised his hand and formed a strange hand seal.

"Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void."

In an instant, an invisible and absolute domain, centered on Jiang Bai, unfolded in all directions!

It is a pity.

Scientific research shows that even the average human brain, if used solely to store written information, could easily hold all the books a person has read in their lifetime, and even more.

Moreover, Acnologia is a dragon king who has lived for four hundred years and stands at the pinnacle of the world.

Even though it never specifically cultivated so-called spiritual power, with the accumulation of four hundred long years, the strength of its dragon brain had long since reached an unbelievable level.

Of course, comparing oneself to a monster like Jiang Bai, who specializes in this field, is simply overestimating one's abilities.

So, the moment that endless torrent of information flooded Acnologia Acunorokia's brain...

Unlike Jiang Bai's previous opponents, it did not fall unconscious on the spot or have its brain burned out.

With its powerful soul and will, it stubbornly endured it.

However, they merely endured it.

Within Jiang Bai's "Unlimited Void" domain, Acnologia discovered that although he remained conscious, his body was completely immobile.

Its brain is completely overloaded to process the amount of information that floods in every millisecond—equivalent to several years' worth of data.

Sight, hearing, touch... all senses are stretched Infinity.

In its eyes, the falling of a single flower becomes a slow epic spanning centuries.

It can think, see, and hear.

However, I am unable to issue any effective commands to my body.

It could only watch helplessly as that enormous figure began a new round of changes.

Watching Jiang Bai's enormous body, now almost identical to his own, begin to expand and grow wildly in an even more terrifying and unreasonable way!

"If what just happened can only be considered 'Giant Magic'..."

Jiang Bai's voice seemed to come from the heavens above, carrying a hint of mockery yet filled with an absolute sense of authority.

"So now, this should be called --"

"'Heaven and Earth Transformation!'"

Jiang Bai's body had swelled to an indescribable, unimaginably magnificent size!

Tenrou Island, in the face of his current form, appears as insignificant as an inconspicuous sand table model.

His enormous head had completely disappeared above the clouds, as if it had become one with the sky.

It was just a single hand, yet it was nearly the same size as the enormous black dragon from before!

He just stood there, and it was as if he was holding up the entire sky!

"..."

In the Fairy Tail camp, everyone had completely lost the ability to speak.

They craned their necks so high they felt like their necks were about to break, and could only barely make out the two small legs that looked like pillars of heaven.

"This... this is... no longer magic..." Natsu said blankly.

"You're kidding me..." Gray's mouth gaped open wider than ever before.

"What... what a joke... my brother-in-law... he's really messed things up..." Elfman had completely given up thinking.

Even the usually composed Erza and Laxus could only stare blankly at the miracle that transcended the realm of gods.

Meanwhile, the little witch Mirajane's thoughts had clearly wandered off course; blushing, she thought to herself, "This is going to break down tonight."

Makarov's beard trembled violently as he stared at the figure, which was even larger than when he had unleashed his Giant Magic at full power. He muttered to himself, "My Giant Magic... so... so it can grow this big...?"

Gildarts silently raised the jug in his hand, took a big gulp, and then silently threw the jug away.

Drink wine?

What a load of rubbish!

What could be more intoxicating than this scene before our eyes?

And on that small, rickety boat in the distance.

The telescope in Mest's hand fell to the deck with a "thud".

He... no longer needs that thing.

Because that enormous figure, which seemed to hold the world in its hands, was so clear, even across the distant sea, that it seemed to be right in front of them!

"What... what is that..." Lahar's voice was distorted by extreme fear.

Mest did not answer; he simply knelt down on the deck, prostrating himself in that direction.

God.

That must be God.

Only a god could possess such a majestic figure.

On the battlefield.

Jiang Bai looked down at the tiny black figure that had frozen in place, motionless, because it had been trapped in the "Unlimited Void".

Yes, to him at this moment, Acnologia was indeed a tiny little thing.

He slowly extended his right hand.

That enormous hand, large enough to cover the entire Tenrou Island, easily grasped the Black Dragon King, who was still standing there as punishment, into its palm!

Then, push!

"Click--! Crack--!"

A sickening, bone-crackling sound came from between Jiang Bai's fingers!

That was Acnologia's indestructible dragon bone, being crushed inch by inch by an irresistible and terrifying force!

Excruciating pain!

A pain that penetrates to the very bone, even to the soul!

This extreme pain, like the sharpest knife, instantly pierced through the mental shackles imposed by the boundless information of the "Unlimited Void"!

"Roar--!"

Acnologia let out a Roar filled with pain and rage, and its massive body began to struggle and writhe wildly in Jiang Bai's palm!

It wanted to break free!

It wants to fight back!

However, given its powerful dragon regenerative abilities, this extensive fracture, though excruciatingly painful, could only be considered a... minor injury.

The injuries are healing rapidly.

Jiang Bai felt the increasingly powerful resistance in his palm, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

We must finish this quickly!

Whether it's "Giant Magic" or "Heaven and Earth Transformation," the amount of magic power required to become larger increases exponentially.

Even with Jiang Bai's seemingly inexhaustible magical power, he could only maintain this form, which was enough to control the black dragon, for a maximum of three minutes!

Time is running out!

Thus, on the battlefield, a breathtaking scene unfolded, a scene worthy of being recorded in history, filled with the raw aesthetics of violence.

A colossal, boundless black giant was tightly gripping an equally enormous black dragon, representing the world's strongest fighting force.

The giant squeezed and clenched with all its might, trying to crush the dragon in its palm alive!

The dragon, meanwhile, writhed wildly, using its horns, claws, tail, and even teeth to attack the five "heavenly pillars" that bound it, trying to break free!

A man and a dragon engaged in the most primal, and deadliest, struggle!

However, gradually, Acnologia's struggle took a turn for the worse.

It no longer tries to fight back, no longer thinks about how to hurt the giant who has brought it endless humiliation.

It's just struggling.

It was just twisting.

I'm just trying everything I can to escape this grasp!

That's right.

It's about escaping.

Instead of retaliating.

Acnologia... was scared.

Four hundred years ago, after bathing in dragon blood and transforming into a dragon, it trampled countless compatriots under its feet and became the invincible king standing at the pinnacle of the world. For the first time, it felt this emotion called "fear".

That emotion, like a maggot clinging to a bone, frantically gnawed at its reason and destroyed its pride.

Within this enormous hand, it smelled... the scent of death.

Moreover, the smell was so strong!
