Zorn's gaze was icy, and his Magic Power surged like a raging torrent, rapidly gathering in his right fist.
As the Magic Power continued to gather, a chilling energy fluctuation emanated from Zorn and spread wildly outwards.
A wisp of black substance slowly merged into it.
Sensing this terrifying energy fluctuation, even the usually arrogant and unruly Acnologia couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes.
However, just a moment later, an extremely arrogant smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Haha~ Is this the power you used when you fought Zeref? Nothing special!" Acnologia laughed wildly, his words filled with disdain for Zorn.
However, before he could finish speaking, Zorn's right fist, imbued with powerful Magic Power, slammed towards him like lightning.
"Pfft~" Acnologia didn't even have time to react before he suddenly spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.
His body flew straight towards the ceiling of the space like a cannonball.
The immense impact caused the surrounding crystals to be shaken off and fall to the ground with a clattering sound.
Acnologia crashed heavily into the ceiling, then fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Just as he was about to adjust his posture, Zorn used Teleportation to appear above him in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a mysterious and dazzling Black-Gold light shimmered on Zorn's right foot.
Under his cold and indifferent gaze, he raised his right foot without hesitation and kicked Acnologia hard in the stomach.
A deafening roar erupted, as if the entire space itself trembled.
Smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring the sky and the sun. The ground in the space instantly collapsed, forming a bottomless pit.
This series of breathtaking attacks all happened within a mere few seconds.
Natsu, Laxus, and the others who were watching from the sidelines hadn't even recovered from their shock when they saw Zorn appear around them like a ghost, panting heavily.
Clearly, even someone as strong as Zorn had exhausted a great deal of his physical strength and Magic Power from that series of rapid and fierce attacks.
Moreover, the Death Power within him hadn't been completely eradicated during his battle with Zeref.
"Brother Zorn, are you alright!" Wendy rushed forward anxiously, placing her hands tightly on Zorn's broad and sturdy body.
She instantly unleashed a sky Magic, a soft blue light emanating from her palm and continuously flowing into Zorn's body, attempting to provide emergency treatment for his injuries.
However, the instant the Magic Power touched Zorn's body, Wendy's eyes widened suddenly, and her eyes quickly filled with crystal tears, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
The other companions nearby also keenly sensed the unusual situation and their hearts tightened.
"What's wrong, Wendy? What happened?!" Natsu asked loudly, his face full of worry, veins bulging on his forehead, eager to know Zorn's condition immediately.
Wendy's lips trembled slightly as she tried to answer, but the words seemed stuck in her throat, coming out in broken, intermittent syllables:
"Brother Zorn... his body... is already..."
"Don't worry, Wendy. I'm not going to die yet!" Zorn suddenly reached out a hand and gently stroked the top of Wendy's head, tenderly interrupting her before she could finish speaking.
Then, enduring the excruciating pain, he slowly straightened up, his signature warm smile still on his face, his gaze calm and firm as he looked at his companions who were watching him with worry.
Just then, a violent coughing sound came from the billowing smoke.
Immediately afterwards, a voice filled with shock and disbelief resounded throughout the venue:
"Cough cough~ You bastard, you actually injected the Death Power into my body..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Acnologia slowly emerging from the smoke.
At this moment, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and his original arrogant and domineering expression had vanished, replaced by extreme solemnity.
He stared intently at Zorn, as if trying to see right through him.
This Death Power, suppressed within the body and enveloped by Holy Light Power, is slowly eroded and will eventually be exhausted.
However, when it is guided out of the body and moves along the body, no matter how carefully it is guided, a small part will always erode the body.
He hadn't expected Zorn to be so determined to die.
"Acnologia, this power is something you can't withstand!" Zorn said mockingly, looking at Acnologia.
"Hmph, tch, you're far from it! If this is all you've got, then your end is just around the corner!"
Acnologia's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, and his sharp, hawk-like eyes suddenly narrowed.
An extremely arrogant aura erupted from his body in an instant, as if it were about to tear the surrounding air apart.
"So what? Even if we can't beat you, we'll fight to the bitter end!" Natsu roared, his eyes wide with rage, and stomped his foot so hard that the ground trembled.
Suddenly, blazing flames erupted from his fists, shooting skyward and illuminating half the sky.
At the same time, incredibly hard Dragon Scales began to rapidly emerge on his body, shimmering with dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, his hands slowly transformed into sharp Dragon Claws at a speed visible to the naked eye, each claw as if forged from fine steel, radiating a cold light.
In an instant, an incomparably powerful aura surged forth from Natsu, and a gigantic red dragon phantom appeared behind him, baring its fangs and claws, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"That's right, I completely agree!" Just then, Gajeel strode over to Natsu's side and stood beside him. His eyes were now completely shrouded in darkness, deep and mysterious.
With a deep roar, a layer of jet-black scales began to rapidly cover his strong body. These scales were tightly connected, like an indestructible suit of armor.
At the same time, a black Iron Dragon phantom also appeared in mid-air, echoing the red dragon behind Natsu.
"I... I want to fight alongside everyone too!!" Wendy, who had been standing silently to the side, finally stopped crying. She gritted her teeth, her delicate body trembling slightly, but her eyes became unusually firm.
The next moment, she let out a soft shout, and all the power that had been hidden within her body for a long time instantly erupted.
