Chapter 167

Gajeel: "Wait!! What was that black figure that flashed by at the end of the screen??"

Gildarts: "That massive body, the dark green patterns... the pitch-black body..."

Lucy: "It can't be wrong... it absolutely can't be wrong!"

Mirajane: "That is... Acnologia!"

Sting: "Acnologia??"

"Is that the giant dragon in the legend that can destroy a country single-handedly, Acnologia?"

Rogue: "That guy... even through the sky screen, is the pressure so strong?"

Laxus: "I remember, you two once said that if it were you back then, you wouldn't have been wiped out by Acnologia on Tenrou Island, right?"

"How about it? Now that Acnologia has really appeared in the sky screen, do you think... you can win?"

Sting: "That kind of monster..."

Inside Sabertooth.

Sting's brows furrowed accordingly.

Although Acnologia's figure only appeared briefly in the sky screen image just now.

But, that heart-stopping feeling was still echoing in his heart.

If it were before, Sting would have answered without hesitation that he could win!

After all, in his view, Weisslogia was the strongest dragon.

Even such a dragon was killed by him, so what could a mere Acnologia do?

However, with the display of the sky screen image.

Only then did he know how high this world was!

In this world, how exaggerated the strong were!

Even the power displayed by ordinary giant dragons was almost at a level Sting could not reach.

Even an empire as strong as the Galaxy Empire, an empire guarded by Belserion.

had to avoid its edge.

Then... how strong was Acnologia?

Sting was silent.

Lector on the side stared fixedly at Sting, although there was a hundred kinds of unwillingness in his heart.

But, now he also knew how absurd the big talk they said before was.

How narrow-minded it was.

A dragon... was it really so easy to fight against?

After a long while, the silent Sting finally spoke on the world channel.

Sting: "I... cannot win."

"I also admit that we were too arrogant before; the world is far larger than we imagined..."

Rogue nodded silently.

"We are like frogs at the bottom of a well, always fantasizing about the dream that we are the strongest, but in reality... we might not even count as strong."

Laxus: "There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven!"

【The screen was still continuing.】

【The pillar of light shooting into the sky lasted for several minutes before gradually fading.】

【But, at the same time, Black Natsu and the others also realized an extremely serious problem.】

【Exposed! Completely exposed!】

【Such a large-scale magic tilt of a titled-level dragon could not possibly not attract the attention of that black dragon.】

【Inside the laboratory.】

【Irene looked at Black Natsu with an extremely ugly face.】

【"If I'm not mistaken... that guy is already on the way."】

【Irene's tone was even filled with despair.】

【"So fast? Is it possible that guy is doing other things, or for some reason won't come?" Seilah asked in confusion on the side.】

【But, to this, Irene just shook her head helplessly.】

【"Impossible! Dragon slaying has almost become a procedure that guy must execute, no matter where it is."】

【"And no matter where that aura comes from, as long as it is perceived by it."】

【"Then, even if it is separated by ten thousand miles, that guy will definitely spare no effort to rush over and completely kill the dragon!"】

【"Things... are troublesome now."】

【Black Natsu looked through the transparent glass at the Erza embryo that had gradually begun to return to calm.】

【After the magic tilt was finished, Erza was completely back to normal.】

【The fusion of the Dragon Slayer lacrima had reached seventy percent and stopped moving; next, it just needed to wait, which was adaptation.】

【Adapting to a one-hundred-percent state.】

【Because it was still in the embryo state, the body functions in all aspects had not yet grown completely, so this adaptation process would be very long.】

【It might be a few years, or it might be a few decades, but no matter what, as long as the embryo was not destroyed, Erza's birth was a nail in the coffin.】

【However, no one expected that this accident would actually expose the aura and attract an even more powerful enemy to the Galaxy Empire.】

【Black Natsu and Irene both couldn't help but feel a bit of despair.】

【"What should we do?"】

【Irene looked at Black Natsu helplessly.】

【To this, Black Natsu also shrugged his shoulders: "In the face of absolute strength, we really don't have any good methods."】

【"Such a massive magic release will definitely allow that guy to lock onto our location."】

【"Unless the Galaxy Empire can move away entirely, otherwise it's all empty talk."】

【Irene also knew that this was impossible.】

【Such a massive empire, so many people, how could it be moved just by saying so?】

【And, who knows how long it will take for that guy to come!】

【Maybe, when you are still transferring, you will just happen to run into that guy.】

【By that time, even more people will die.】

【"Otherwise... we can only fight it out!"】

【Black Natsu clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Irene at this moment.】

【"Belserion plus you, plus me, and all the dragons in the empire."】

【"All the power tilted out... is there a chance?"】

【Irene pursed her lips: "I don't know, but we can try."】

【Black Natsu nodded.】

【Looking at Irene's worried face, his eyeballs rolled around.】

【Subsequently, he patted Irene on the shoulder.】

【"Alright, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."】

【"It's not like we don't have the strength to fight, besides, Acnologia won't necessarily come, right?"】

【Irene raised her head, looked at Black Natsu, and smiled with difficulty: "Then what do you think the probability of not coming is?"】

【"Hmm... one percent."】

【"Pfft!!"】

【Irene was even angered into laughing, shook her head, and looked at Black Natsu: "Then in that case, perhaps we can gamble on this one percent, right?"】

【"What if we win the gamble." Black Natsu responded.】

【"Everything has a solution; believe me, this time will definitely be safe and sound!"】

【Black Natsu really didn't lie about this.】

【From the point of view of being able to see Erza one hundred years later and hearing her mention the Galaxy Empire.】

【The anomaly caused by Erza's life activation might really not have alarmed Acnologia.】

【Even if they really encountered Acnologia, they must have relied on some method to successfully overcome this difficulty.】

【Otherwise, more than a hundred years ago, Erza could not have existed.】

【This was the answer time gave to Black Natsu, so he was not panicked.】
