As soon as Wendy finished speaking, she responded immediately, a faint green Magic Power rising from her body, and a life force emanating from her. A dragon's head immediately appeared in the flames, its fiery wings spreading out, and a dragon's roar echoed throughout the village. All the Giants showed expressions of shock.
"Oh~ I didn't expect there to be Dragon Slayers in this era!" Fire Dragon looked at the group in front of him, especially Natsu and Wendy.
"Dragon~ I never thought there was a dragon with the same attribute as me still alive! Hello, uncle~" Natsu immediately took a few steps forward and greeted him warmly.
"Alive? No!" Fire Dragon shook his head in denial.
"No~ This form is a manifestation of my Magic Milky Way!" Wendy maintained her Magic and then explained to everyone.
"Yes, I died a long time ago~" Fire Dragon looked at Natsu, a trace of remembrance and sorrow flashing in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past.
"Boy, your Magic Power reminds me of an old friend. What is your relationship to Igneel, the Fire Dragon King?" The Fire Dragon lowered its head, its fiery eyes fixed intently on Natsu. Although it already guessed what was going on, it still wanted to hear Natsu's exact answer.
"Igneel is my dad~" Natsu replied with a smile, clearly very happy.
"Igneel's child, that's my friend's son. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet him again after four hundred years. Heaven has truly been kind to me." Fire Dragon said, his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly scrutinizing Natsu.
Fire Dragon looked at Natsu, a wave of emotion welled up in his heart.
Four hundred years ago, he fought alongside Igneel, together against their common enemy.
Now, seeing Igneel's children standing before him, he felt immense joy.
"Natsu, your father was once the king of my clan and also a good friend of mine. Consider this my gift to you!" said the Fire Dragon. It opened its blood-red maw and spat out a huge ball of flame, which, like a burning sun, radiated astonishing heat.
Flames roared in the air, as if they were about to set the whole world ablaze.
"You little brat, you really wanted to try my flames, didn't you? This should increase the Flame Strength!" Fire Dragon said in a deep voice, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Natsu stared wide-eyed at the fireball before him, his heart filled with trepidation and hesitation. He knew what this energy was.
"Uncle?" Natsu called out blankly, but before he could react, the Fire Dragon had already moved swiftly.
Taking advantage of Natsu's slightly open mouth, they shoved the flame directly into Natsu's mouth.
Natsu's eyes widened instantly, a look of pain crossed his face, and he let out a scream.
"Ah~" Natsu immediately cried out in pain, his body erupting in blazing flames, and scales slowly appearing on his skin, clearly indicating that he had entered some kind of special state.
His body began to tremble, as if he were enduring immense pain, but at the same time, a powerful energy surged within him.
"It's so hot!" Lucy and Happy, who were standing closest to Natsu, felt the intense heat and were immediately burned, so they quickly backed away.
He stared at Natsu in astonishment, wondering if he could withstand such power.
"Natsu, is he alright?" Cana looked at Zorn beside her with a worried expression and asked anxiously.
She clenched her fists tightly, silently praying that Natsu would be safe.
"Don't worry, this is also an opportunity for Natsu!" Zorn said with a smile, but his hand movements were not simple. He spread his hands and created a Diamond Shield that covered Natsu.
Instantly, the surrounding temperature dropped to an acceptable level.
Zorn was also surprised that the Fire Dragon's soul, which was unaffected by the freezing, would give half of its soul power to Natsu.
And it is estimated that it will fall into a deep sleep again.
"Although I don't know who you are, your Magic Power is terrifying. The last person to make me feel this way was that man!"
"I'm at ease with Natsu under your protection! But be careful of Zeref and the Demon END, that's something even Igneel couldn't destroy!"
Fire Dragon spoke to Zorn, word by word.
As Fire Dragon finished speaking, its body gradually dissipated, transforming back into flames.
Zorn, however, was both amused and exasperated. He knew who End was, of course, but he would protect him, not destroy him.
However, he still needed to go back and discuss with those guys what to do after the Tartaros.
After all, he didn't believe that such a high-profile event as the Tartaros could have been carried out without the involvement of other forces.
The only thing I doubt is the empire that man created.
This is a cold place covered in snow. The cold wind howls, blowing up snowflakes and creating a white storm.
In the silent snow, a man stands quietly before a tombstone, seemingly performing some kind of memorial ceremony.
However, he suddenly sensed someone approaching, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. "Honestly, can't even a simple tomb sweeping be done in peace?"
The man's name was Yin. He didn't even look back. Instead, he waved his right hand and released a powerful Magic Power.
A Pink Ice Pillar flew out of his hand in an instant, striking him behind him as swiftly as lightning.
Not far behind him, a Woman was quietly approaching. She was wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress, with a mink shawl and cape, exuding an aura of mystery.
The Woman remained calm in the face of the sudden attack from the silver sword.
She smiled slightly, extended one hand, and opened her palm, revealing a hollow space.
When the Pink Ice Block entered the cavity, it immediately disappeared and was transferred to another location.
The Woman looked at Yin and smiled, saying, "Lord Yin, you truly despise demons! I've only come to deliver a message; Headquarters has issued a summons to all Nine Demon Gates!"
Upon hearing the Woman's words, Yin stopped what he was doing, but his eyes remained filled with hostility.
He coldly replied, "Does the Nine Demon Gates have no one left? How dare they send you here!" With that, he waved his right hand again, preparing to continue his attack.
But the Woman skillfully dodged his attack and continued to smile, saying, "Lord Yin, this summons order was issued by that man; it's very important. I hope you can go to Headquarters as soon as possible."
Yin stopped what she was doing, stared intently for a moment, then resolutely turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.
The Woman breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Yin leave.
She muttered to herself, "Tch~ I'll accept anything to defeat Fairy Tail!" With that, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and vanished amidst the ripples in the space.
