Meanwhile, at the villa on the outskirts.
Ye Chuan and Robin had no interest whatsoever in the lively "beauty contest" at the guild.
They were lounging leisurely on the garden chairs at their sun-drenched home.
Ye Chuan rested with his eyes closed, carrying out his daily meditation and sensing the three vast, entirely different inherited powers within him, which had begun to resonate faintly with one another.
Robin, meanwhile, held a precious text documenting Ancient Magic that she had borrowed from Fairy Tail's library, quietly enjoying this peaceful afternoon that belonged to the two of them alone.
However, that peace was soon broken.
Inside the guild, the "Miss Fairy Tail Contest" had reached its final and most crucial stage.
Just as Erza, Lucy, Mirajane, Cana, and all the other contestants changed into their most dazzling swimsuits and prepared for the final talent display-
"Stone Eyes!"
Laxus's voice, filled with cruelty and madness, suddenly rang out from the guild's second floor!
An eerie light brimming with ominous Magic Power instantly enveloped the entire stage!
The next moment, every female Fairy Tail member competing, including Erza and Lucy, was turned into a cold stone statue in an instant!
"The game has begun, you small fry!"
Standing on the second floor, Laxus spread his arms like a god passing judgment on all living beings and let out a deranged laugh:
"Let's see which of you weaklings is truly the strongest in Fairy Tail!"
"Laxus!!! You little bastard!!!"
Guild master Makarov looked at the petrified children, who were like daughters to him, and let out a heartbroken roar.
At that moment, the most devastating civil war in Fairy Tail's history officially erupted!
With Laxus's arrogant declaration of war, the entire city of Magnolia instantly became a bloody battlefield.
