Gajeel: "Wait!! What was that black figure that flashed by at the very last moment in the scene??"
Gildarts: "That enormous body, the eerie green patterns... the jet-black body..."
Lucy: "It can't be wrong...it absolutely can't be wrong!"
Mirajane: "That's... Acnologia!"
Sting: "Acnologia??"
"Is that the legendary dragon Acnologia, capable of single-handedly destroying an entire nation?"
Rogge: "That guy... even through the sky, the sense of oppression is still so strong?"
Laxus: "I remember you two once said that if it had been you, you wouldn't have been wiped out by Acnologia on Tenrou Island, right?"
"So? Now that Acnologia has really appeared in the sky, do you think... you can win?"
Sting: "That kind of monster..."
Inside the tiger biting with a sword.
Sting's brow furrowed.
Although Acnologia's figure only appeared briefly in the celestial scene just now.
But that terrifying feeling still lingered in my heart.
If it were before, Sting would have answered without hesitation that he could win!
After all, in his opinion, Perslokia was the strongest dragon.
If even a dragon like that could be killed by me, then what can a mere Acnologia do?
However, as the celestial images unfolded...
That's when he realized just how high this world really is!
Just how incredibly powerful are the strong in this world?
Even the power displayed by ordinary dragons is far beyond Sting's reach.
Even a powerful empire like the Galactic Empire, protected by Belserion.
They also had no choice but to avoid their sharp edge.
So... just how strong is Acnologia?
Sting fell silent.
Rector stared intently at Sting, despite his deep resentment.
But now it knows just how far-fetched those boasts it made before really were.
Just how narrow-minded is it?
Dragons... are they not so easy to fight?
After a long silence, Sting finally spoke up on the world channel.
Sting: "I...can't win."
"I admit that we were too arrogant before; the world is much bigger than we imagined..."
Roger nodded silently.
"We are like frogs in a well, always dreaming that we are the strongest, but in reality... we may not even be considered strong."
Laxus: "There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!"
The footage is still playing.
The towering pillar of light gradually faded after several minutes.
However, at the same time, Henaz and the others also realized an extremely serious problem.
[We've been exposed! Completely exposed!]
The sheer scale of the magical energy emanating from a titled dragon was bound to attract the attention of that black dragon.
[Inside the research room.]
[Eileen stared at Black Natsu with an extremely pale expression.]
"If I'm not mistaken... that guy is already on his way."
Eileen's tone was filled with despair.
"So fast? That guy can't possibly be doing something else, or for some reason he won't come?" Sera asked疑惑地.
However, Eileen simply shook her head helplessly.
"Impossible! Dragon slaying has practically become a mandatory procedure for that guy, no matter where he is."
"It doesn't matter where that aura comes from, as long as it detects it."
"Then, even if it's thousands of miles away, that guy will definitely go to great lengths to come and completely annihilate the dragon!"
"Things... are in trouble."
[Honatsu looked through the transparent glass at Erza's embryo, which was gradually returning to calm.]
After the magical energy was fully transferred, Erza had completely returned to normal.
The fusion of the Dragon Slayer Crystal has reached 70% and has stopped. All that's left is to wait and allow it to adapt.
[Adapted to 100% condition.]
Because it is still in the embryonic stage, its various bodily functions have not yet fully developed, therefore, this adaptation process will be very long.
[It could take years, it could take decades, but in any case, as long as the embryo isn't damaged, Erza's birth is a certainty.]
However, no one expected that this accident would expose their presence, attracting an even more powerful enemy to the Galactic Empire.
Both Henna and Irene felt a sense of despair.
【"what to do?"】
Eileen looked helplessly at Black Natsu.
[Henatsu shrugged in response: "Faced with absolute power, we really don't have any good options."]
"Such a massive outpouring of magic will definitely allow that guy to pinpoint our location."
"Unless the Galactic Empire can move entirely, it's all just empty talk."
Eileen knew this was impossible.
How could such a vast empire, with such a large population, be moved so easily?
Besides, who knows how long that guy will take to get here!
[You might even run into him while you're still moving.]
[At that point, even more people will die.]
"Otherwise... we'll have to take a gamble!"
Henna clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Irene.
"Beelzemon, plus you, plus me, and all the dragons within the empire."
"Pouring all our strength... is there any chance?"
Eileen pursed her lips: "I don't know, but we can try."
Henna nodded.
His eyes darted around as he looked at Eileen's worried expression.
He then patted Eileen on the shoulder.
"Alright, let's meet force with force and water with earth."
"We're not without the ability to fight, and besides, Acnologia isn't necessarily going to come, is he?"
Eileen looked up at Black Natsu and forced a smile: "So, what do you think the chances are that he won't come back?"
"Hmm... one percent, I guess."
【"puff!!"】
Eileen was so angry she laughed. She shook her head and looked at Black Natsu: "So, does that mean we can gamble on that one percent?"
"What if we win the bet?" Hennaz replied.
"There's always a solution to everything. Trust me, this time everything will be alright!"
[Black Natsu wasn't lying about that.]
[Judging from the fact that we can see Erza a hundred years from now and hear her mention the Galactic Empire.]
[The anomaly caused by Erza's life activation might not have alerted Acnologia.]
Even if they did encounter Acnologia, they must have overcome this difficulty through some means.
Otherwise, Erza could not have existed more than a hundred years ago.
This was the answer time had given Henna, so he remained calm.
