"Yakuma Eighteen Battle Gods Magic: Yagd Rigola!"
The moment Minerva finished her incantation, purple lightnings erupted around her body.
Bzzzt-
Immediately after, an extremely dazzling light burst forth from Minerva's body.
This light even overpowered the sunlight from the sky, swallowing everything within the entire Grand Magic Games' venue.
Boom-
After a brief silence, a dazzling golden sphere appeared in the Grand Magic Games' arena.
Soon, the golden sphere exploded, and a golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds above.
At the same time, a terrifyingly loud explosion resounded throughout the capital of the Fiore Kingdom.
Immediately after, a violent shockwave, centered on Kenichi's location, swept across the entire Grand Magic Games' venue like ripples.
Ah~
The spectators in the surrounding stands were all impacted by this violent shockwave.
Some of the more timid female spectators were instantly scared into screaming.
The bolder male spectators were all inwardly shocked.
After a few secodnds, the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, and the dazzling light also vanished.
Looking around, the massive arena was covered in dust, and Kenichi's figure was also shrouded within this dust.
"What's the situation?"
"Is the match over?"
The spectators looked at the cloud of dust on the arena, all speaking with expressions of surprise and doubt.
"Kenichi!"
At this time, the hearts of Mavis, Makarov, and the other Fairy Tail's members were all in their throats.
After a few seconds, under everyone's watchful gaze, the dust on the arena finally cleared.
And Kenichi's figure was once again exposed to everyone's view.
After seeing Kenichi's condition, the live commentator immediately shouted in an impassionate tone: "Amazing! Contestant Kenichi, who suffered Contestant Minerva's full-force attack, is completely unharmed!"
As soon as the commentator said this, the entire Grand Magic Games' venue erupted once again.
"Hey hey, for real? Not a single scratch?"
"After suffering such a terrifying attack, he didn't get injured at all? Is this person really human?"
"This is way too strong!?"
The Sabertooth's members on the stands, like Rogue and Sting, also had flickering eyes and expressions of disbelief.
"Sting!"
Rogue withdrew his gaze from Kenichi and instinctively glanced at Sting beside him, speaking with a shocked heart.
"Yeah... to withstand the Young Lady's move like that and be completely fine... this is beyond imagination!"
Sting and Rogue exchanged a look, then also spoke with grave expressions.
Naturally, Rogue and Sting understood Minerva's strength best.
That move just now, Yakuma Eighteen Battle Gods Magic: Yagd Rigola, was Minerva's strongest attack.
Sting and Rogue both knew that Minerva's move could instantly destroy a mountain.
But now, Kenichi had taken that move without a single injury.
While Sting and Rogue were shocked, the Fairy Tail's members over there were all cheering.
"So strong, Kenichi~!"
"As expected of Fairy Tail's strongest!"
While Macao and the others were excited, Makarov and Mavis over there both breathed a sigh of relief.
Wendy also let out a relieved sigh, then said with a smile: "It's great that Kenichi-nii is okay!"
"Even though I knew Kenichi-nii could enter a different dimension to avoid the attack, I was still a bit worried!"
As soon as Wendy said this, Erza over there refuted: "No, this time Kenichi did not enter a different dimension to dodge."
Hearing Erza's words, Wendy was shocked: "He didn't enter a different dimension? Then that means?"
Erza said: "That's right. Kenichi completely withstood Minerva's attack."
"Completely withstood... Kenichi-nii is too reckless!"
"Good grief, now even I don't understand what Kenichi is trying to do!"
Erza also said somewhat helplessly.
Kenichi could clearly enter a different dimension to avoid Minerva's attack, so why did he choose to withstand it instead?
The reason was simple: because it wasn't necessary.
With Kenichi's current strength, even Acnologia's roar wouldn't harm him in the slightest.
So Minerva's attack would naturally have no effect on Kenichi whatsoever.
While everyone was shocked that Kenichi withstood Minerva's attack, the system's mechanical prompt also sounded in Kenichi's mind on the arena.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power +101!]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Territory Spatial Magic attribute!]
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi's expression shifted immediately.
'Finally here?'
Looking at the three golden attributes beside Minerva, Kenichi thought to himself.
Soon, the system prompted again: [Host, would you like to collect the Territory Spatial Magic attribute?]
'Collect!'
Kenichi answered without any hesitation.
With Kenichi's command, the three attributes beside Minerva over there all converged towards Kenichi's location.
After those three golden attributes merged into Kenichi's body, both the Magic Power attribute column and the Magic attribute column on the virtual screen in front of Kenichi jumped.
Looking at the [Territory] attribute in the Magic attribute column, a light immediately shone in Kenichi's eyes.
Both the Arc of Time and the Territory were now ready.
Next, Kenichi just needed to find someone who had recently passed away to conduct an experiment, and he could determine whether the combination of Arc of Time and Territory could achieve reviving the dead.
Just as Kenichi was thinking about the resurrection experiment, Minerva over there spoke to Kenichi with a smile: "Although I expected this move might not finish you off, to be completely unscathed... that does surprise me somewhat!"
"It seems ordinary attacks are ineffective against you. In that case..."
As she spoke, Minerva pointed the two fingers of her right hand at the palm of her left hand.
"Confinement Space!"
As Minerva recited an incantation, a spiral-shaped purple magic sphere appeared between her clasped palms.
At the same time, Kenichi's figure was enveloped by a multi-colored spherical space.
"This space can not only restrain your movements but also continuously absorb your Magic Power!"
"This match is my victory!"
Seeing Kenichi trapped by her space, a mocking curve lifted the corner of Minerva's mouth.
But the next second, the spherical space confining Kenichi instantly vanished.
"What happened? Why did my space disappear?"
Minerva, seeing the space confining Kenichi suddenly disappear, had the mockery on her face instantly replaced by confusion.
"Did you misunderstand something? The reason you can use Spatial Magic is because I allow it."
After breaking Minerva's confinement space, Kenichi walked directly towards Minerva's location.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Minerva couldn't understand the meaning of Kenichi's words at all.
But seeing Kenichi approach, Minerva didn't dare to be negligent and activated another Spatial Magic.
"Spatial Link!"
Minerva made a beckoning gesture with her hand.
But the imagined scene of Kenichi being flung away by space did not occur.
"What's going on?!"
"The magic didn't activate?"
Seeing that her magic actually failed to activate, Minerva's expression shifted.
She then beckoned towards Kenichi with her hand again.
"Spatial Link!"
But the result was the same as before… the magic didn't activate.
One failure to activate might be coincidental.
But two, three failures in a row... that was no coincidence.
At this moment, Kenichi's earlier words echoed in Minerva's mind again: 'The reason you can use Spatial Magic is because I allow it.'
"It's you..."
Minerva looked at Kenichi, her eyes flickering, her face changing colors, and her heart surging with monstrous waves.
"What did you do to me?"
"Why can't I use magic anymore?"
Although Minerva usually relied on her magic and looked down on everyone, now, seeing that Kenichi could actually control her magic, Minerva was completely panicked.
Watching Kenichi approach, a terrified Minerva instinctively took a step backward.
As Minerva stepped back, Kenichi made a beckoning gesture.
Boom-
Instantly, a golden pillar of lightning struck Minerva.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, Minerva fell to the ground.
Seeing that Sabertooth's strongest, Minerva, had been defeated just like that, the originally bustling venue instantly fell silent.
After all, the spectators simply didn't understand what had happened.
"Captain Lahar, what exactly happened? Why did Contestant Minerva suddenly become unable to use magic, and then was defeated by Contestant Kenichi?"
The live commentator also asked Lahar beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Probably Kenichi used some magic that prevented Minerva's magic from activating."
"This is truly an eye-opener for us. So it was Contestant Kenichi's magic that prevented Contestant Minerva from using her magic... Ultimately, Contestant Kenichi easily defeated Contestant Minerva. This match is a victory for Fairy Tail A Team!"
As soon as the commentator said this, the silent venue erupted once again.
"He actually made Minerva unable to use magic?"
"This Kenichi is way too strong!"
"Can't be attacked himself, and can also prevent others from using magic? That's basically cheating... but I like it..."
While the audience cheered, Sabertooth's Sting, Rogue, and the others seemed still immersed in shock, unable to react.
"Are you kidding? Young Lady was defeated that easily?"
"Although I knew this Kenichi was strong, I never thought he was this strong!"
"Is this Kenichi even human?"
Sting and Rogue looked at the fallen Minerva on the arena, then at Kenichi, both speaking with shocked hearts.
The red Exceed Lector, recovering from his shock, suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to ask Sting: "Sting, last night Master said that anyone who loses a match will be expelled from the guild... then Young Lady..."
Sting shook his head and said: "I don't know."
While Sting and Lector were talking, Kenichi had already returned from the arena to where Erza, Mirajane, and the others were.
"Good work."
Looking at Kenichi approaching, Mirajane clasped her hands together and said with a smile.
"Good grief, you could have dealt with Minerva much earlier. You made us worry for nothing!"
Erza, however, spoke to Kenichi in a complaining tone.
Although Erza said this, a smile hung on her pretty face.
