Roar!

A dragon's cry echoed through the air.

On this day, the people of the Kingdom of Fiore witnessed an astonishing sight.

Extinct dragons were actually flying in the sky. There were five of them, soaring towards the distant sea.

"Dragons? There are still so many dragons in this world? We must eliminate all dragons!" Seeing the dragons appear, Acnologia was furious. Eliminating all dragons was his obsession, ever since he became a Dragon Slayer.

"Dragons? Five of them, bold enough to face me? Looks like you've made your choice. If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get. Once I'm done with you, that 'Human-Demon (Ian)' is next."

Igneel looked at Acnologia. "Human? Acnologia, it seems you have forgotten that you were once human yourself. But it doesn't matter. You are a negative legacy of our dragon kind, and we will Kill you!"

He now believed that the human Acnologia was referring to was the Black Wizard Zeref.

"Kill me? What a joke! I am the Dragon King, Acnolog—" Acnologia roared, then opened his mouth, unleashing a roar towards the five dragons. A dark beam of energy shot towards them, and they quickly scattered.

Boom!

The black beam exploded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five dragons emerged from the smoke, unharmed. As long as they weren't hit directly, the scales of a dragon provided formidable defense.

Acnologia flapped his dark wings, hurtling towards the Fire Dragon King, Igneel.

Igneel, undaunted, flapped his wings and met the challenge.

The two dragons collided in mid-air, then began to fight fiercely.

The Iron Dragon, Metalicana, the Shadow Dragon, Skiadrum, the White Dragon, Weisslogia, and the Sky Dragon, Grandeeney, all joined the fray... The five dragons surrounded Acnologia, attacking him from all sides.

Although Acnologia had transformed into a dragon, it was difficult to discern his expression. But from the subtle movements, it was clear that he was not in a good mood.

"Roar!" Acnologia roared, stomping his feet and flapping his wings, charging towards Igneel. Igneel met him head-on, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Boom!

The two dragons collided in the most brutal way, then were both sent flying.

But they immediately soared into the sky. The ground was too fragile. The sky was the true battlefield for dragons. The two dragons clashed repeatedly in the sky.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

A terrifying Fire Dragon's Roar struck Acnologia, causing a massive explosion in mid-air. The shockwave from the explosion instantly shattered the ground below.

Compared to this, the battle between Natsu, his group, and Irene was like child's play.

This was the true Fire Dragon's Roar.

Metalicana spoke, "Let's do it. Although Igneel is the Fire Dragon King, one dragon alone is not enough to defeat Acnologia." The other dragons agreed, spreading their wings and taking to the sky. In the air, the five dragons began to battle Acnologia.

The five dragons surrounded Acnologia. It seemed like they had the numerical advantage, but the reality was far from ideal. Acnologia was holding his own against the five, with only the strongest, the Fire Dragon King Igneel, managing to keep up.

But even he was at a disadvantage. After all, Igneel was only the king of the Fire Dragons, while Acnologia was the Black Dragon King of the entire dragon race.

The dragons primarily used their physical bodies to fight Acnologia. Igneel's roar was already one of the strongest magical attacks, but it had little effect on Acnologia. They knew that using Dragon Slayer magic against him was pointless.

<><><><>

"Fire Dragon King, are you only this strong?" Acnologia's body was surrounded by dark orbs of energy that shot towards the dragons.

It was a vague memory, but he remembered these five dragons as having been a major force in the dragon faction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Aaaahhh!"

The dragons screamed as they were struck by Acnologia's attacks, plummeting to the ground. Acnologia laughed triumphantly. "Was it not just five dragons who wanted to defeat me? I am the Dragon King, Acnologia! Hahaha.."

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Igneel roared, his fist ablaze. He punched Acnologia hard, the intense heat turning the clouds crimson. Acnologia howled in pain. Clearly, he had been hurt.

"Iron Dragon's Sword!"

Metalicana transformed his arm into a massive iron sword, slashing at Acnologia. The air screamed as the blade cut through it.

Acnologia was knocked to the ground. Although he didn't sustain any serious injuries, it still hurt.

"BASTARDS!!" Acnologia opened his mouth, devouring magic and draconic power. Suddenly, a black shadow, moving at incredible speed, struck Acnologia's chin.

This was Skiadrum, the Shadow Dragon.

Acnologia's head was knocked upwards, and his Black Dragon's Roar shot into the sky, exploding and scattering the clouds.

Weisslogia, also attacked Acnologia, his dazzling light almost blinding him.

"GET LOST!!"

Acnologia swiped his tail at Weisslogia. He had already learned his lesson when facing the demons of Tartaros. Even if his vision was impaired, he still had his senses of smell, hearing, and touch.

Moreover, his soul was even stronger, and he had mastered a type of spiritual perception.

Weisslogia, however, endured the pain and bit down on Acnologia's tail. Acnologia, in pain, bit down on Weisslogia's neck in return, tearing at it.

"Weisslogia!"

The other four dragons cried out in anguish as Weisslogia was bitten. Even though they knew they would all die soon, even if Acnologia didn't kill them, it still hurt.

"Aaaahhh!"

Skiadrum, the Shadow Dragon, was also killed by Acnologia, his body falling from the sky. He had almost run out of energy and was no match for the enraged Acnologia.

He could only sacrifice himself to injure Acnologia. Death was inevitable, and they had simply chosen the most glorious way to die.

Grandeeney also charged forward, not using any magic. Even dragon magic was mostly useless against Acnologia. They might as well use their bodies, as 400 years ago, Skiadrum and Weisslogia's combined attack, which could easily destroy a country, hadn't even injured him.

Soon, Grandeeney also fell. One by one, the dragons fell. They were not ordinary Dragon Slayers, but dragons that had been nearly extinct 400 years ago.

"Hahaha... All dragons must die!"

Acnologia bathed in dragon blood, his spirit soaring. He hadn't felt like this in 400 years. It was exhilarating. Dragon Slayers were meant to kill dragons, after all. Looking at the four dragons.

"You should be thankful that you died 400 years ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have your souls left. You wouldn't even be qualified to enter the afterlife."

"Goodbye, everyone..."

With that, Acnologia, unleashing a terrifying hurricane, flew away. He could sense that Zeref's power had grown stronger again. He believed that by devouring Zeref, he would become even more powerful.

"Are we... going to fail after all?"

Looking at the four dragons closing their eyes, Igneel felt his own eyelids growing heavy. "This is good, too. I can finally let go of the burden of protecting the world."

<><><><>

<><><><>

"Fire Dragon King, The last surviving dragons. Is it too early to give up now?"

"Who is it?" Igneel's expression was like that of a person about to fall asleep suddenly being startled awake by an alarm clock. He wasn't hearing this in his ears, but in his very soul.

He opened his eyes to see a man in a casual outfit, shoulder-length hair, pale skin, distinct tear marks, and emerald green eyes that seemed to draw in one's soul. He stood above them, his expression calm and serene.

Ian's gaze swept over Igneel's body.

He remembered the scene in the Marineford Summit War, where Whitebeard stood tall even in death.

They were both protecting their children.

"I am a Demon, and also a Traveler." Igneel's mind was almost blank. He saw Ian raise his left hand.

In his left hand was a cluster of white, glowing light. A golden, ancient clock descended from the sky, its hands ticking erratically, like a war drum beating in everyone's hearts. Igneel's eyes widened.

The hour hand of the golden clock was actually moving backward, rapidly spinning counterclockwise.

In an instant, it had reversed countless rotations.

"I'll be going now..."

Ian lowered his left hand, and the golden clock slowly faded away. He looked at the stunned Igneel as if he had done something insignificant.

Then, he turned and, before the stunned gazes of countless people, a rift opened in the air before him, and he stepped through, disappearing.

Silence.

Igneel's mind was blank and confused. They could only think one thing: What... what kind of power was that?

Looking up, they saw that the shattered continent, including their own injuries, had been restored. Moreover, their magical power was replenished, almost to its peak.

"Igneel... Is this heaven? I didn't expect you to come here, too. No, have I been revived..." Grandeeney, at this moment, was still a little confused, not quite understanding the current situation.

She had just heard Acnologia's triumphant laughter, which had gradually faded away. Her vision had blurred, and everything she could see had eventually disappeared.

Then they were pulled out.

Not only had they been revived, but they had also regained their flesh and blood, and their power had returned to its previous state.

"He really... is a God, isn't he? To even reach the realm of the dead..." Igneel said blankly. To have the ability to transcend life and death, this was not something humans or demons could do. This was the power of a true god.

He had originally thought that gods were just legends. Perhaps Zeref's curse was just a manifestation of Acnologia's immense power. But now, someone had done it.

"A God?" If Ian had heard this, he would have just chuckled. He couldn't do anything as outrageous as reversing time in the Dragon Ball world.

He could only reverse time for beings that were not yet dead. As for the other four dragons, they were only souls, and he needed his own soul.

If their souls had dissipated, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. Acnologia hadn't devoured their souls because they were too weak, which gave him the opportunity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the power.

But in this Fairy Tail world, he was indeed like a god... or even the King of Gods.

"Deus Sema!"

Suddenly, the sky above the ruins of the Fairy Tail guildhall darkened. Clouds gathered, forming a vortex that spread outwards. Many saw a massive meteor falling rapidly towards them.

"What is that?"

"A meteor! A huge meteor!"

Seeing the meteor, many screamed and ran. If this meteor landed, the shockwave would affect an area of tens of thousands of meters.

"It's over. Humans can't withstand a meteor!" Irene, said. Then she looked at Erza and the others, wanting to see fear and despair on their faces.

But they all had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were exaggerated, but none showed the despair she wanted.

Natsu and the others exuded powerful magical auras, staring unflinchingly at the meteor. Mirajane, Erza, Gray, Wendy...

"What? Do you think you can stop a meteor with mere human bodies?" Irene asked.

"With our guildmates, we can even defeat the mighty Acnologia, let alone a meteor! Nothing can stop us from advancing!" Erza said, her magical power erupting as she charged towards the falling meteor.

Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Gray, and Mirajane all smiled, also charging into the air.

Were they afraid? Of course, they were. But they were more afraid of a world without their family.

Even if they survived, it would be meaningless!
