The entire earth began to shake violently, and magic power vibrated wildly in the air, as if it was about to tear the whole world apart.
However, this was merely August's preliminary magic power preparation stage.
August and Eileen simultaneously unleashed their strongest magic, a powerful will that allowed them to selflessly sacrifice even their own lives.
Zorn could clearly sense the presence of this will; he raised his head, gazed at August's resolute yet incredibly serene face, and was momentarily stunned before breaking into a grin.
"Hahahahaha…" Zorn covered his face with one hand, threw his head back, and laughed loudly, while his right hand was raised high, pulling out the materialized Tears of the Flash Dragon.
Eileen and August's gazes instantly focused on Zorn, a hint of indescribable solemnity in their eyes; they seemed to have detected a change in Zorn's magic power.
That feeling was like facing the boundless power of nature, inspiring awe.
"I am the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, how could I possibly lose to you two?!" Zorn's voice echoed in the air, every word filled with immense determination and confidence.
Zorn's body slowly ascended, as if merging with the entire world.
His originally neat hair also danced wildly under the impact of this soaring magic power, like an untamed lion.
"After all, there's still someone over there waiting for me to deal with!!" As these words left his mouth, the smile on Zorn's face suddenly vanished, and his gaze became sharp and resolute.
It also contained a hint of playfulness as he looked towards Jellal, who was still lingering in the distance, watching the spectacle as if it were a good show.
"As for you two, just stay here and atone for your respective sins; tell the people you wish to see what's truly in your hearts!!" Zorn's voice directly resonated within August and Eileen's minds.
It made them both tremble.
Snap~ As Zorn's words fell, he drew a circle with his hands, then clapped them together forcefully.
At this moment, the surrounding boundless light elements, as if receiving some command, began to converge madly towards Zorn.
Immediately, the sky was instantly enveloped by rumbling golden light, its dazzling brilliance making it impossible to look directly at.
Behind Zorn, a colossal golden Buddha phantom gradually materialized.
This Buddha radiated divine light.
"Holy Light Version: True Several Thousand Hands: Summit Buddha!" This name, like a clap of thunder, resounded across the entire battlefield.
The scale of this Buddha even surpassed the one that appeared on Tenrou Island before, its presence inspiring shock and reverence.
August and Eileen widened their eyes, staring in disbelief at Zorn and the Buddha behind him.
In their eyes, Zorn at this moment was a monster compared to them.
Zorn raised his head, his gaze fixed on the rapidly falling meteor.
He naturally sensed the destructive power contained within it, but he showed no fear.
Then his gaze shifted to August, clearly sensing that August's ancient magic was already prepared.
When he unleashed it, even if Zorn stopped him, August would inevitably perish from the magic's backlash.
Zorn took a deep breath, and his hands suddenly spread horizontally with astonishing speed.
Then, he forcefully waved his hand, and the golden Buddha behind him made the same movement.
One of its colossal golden palms swept through the void, carrying unparalleled power, and shot straight into the sky.
It directly struck the descending meteor.
With a loud bang, the meteor was instantly shattered, transforming into countless fragments that streaked across the sky like a meteor shower.
The second palm went straight towards August.
However, when the palm touched August, it passed directly through him and slammed into the ground.
August felt his entire body tremble; a powerful energy instantly dispelled all the red tattoos on his body, and his body returned to its original state.
He widened his eyes, muttering in disbelief, "This… how is this possible? This power has surpassed the realm of magic!"
He looked up at the colossal Buddha statue in the void, his heart filled with shock and awe.
That strike just now had so easily dispersed all the magic power within him; this power far exceeded his imagination.
Meanwhile, Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Natsu, Gajeel, Lucy, Kana, and others who were rushing over also stopped in their tracks, looking up at the Buddha in the sky.
Their faces showed deep shock, their hearts filled with reverence for this powerful force.
This Buddha was countless times more magnificent than the one on Tenrou Island at that time, like an insurmountable peak.
Eileen, in her Dragon form, stared blankly at the Buddha in the sky, her heart filled with a sense of defeat; she was utterly powerless to stop Zorn's advance.
She had tried her best.
"How beautiful~ My… my wish… finally… finally can… be realized!!!" Zeref in the distance looked at the golden light filling the sky, a faint smile on his face, but soon his expression became frantic.
It was as if four hundred years of suppressed desire and expectation were released at this moment; his body began to continuously gush black magic power, which spread like a tide, mercilessly devouring all life in its path, draining all vitality.
And his body slowly ascended, rushing towards Zorn.
In contrast, facing the charging Zeref, Zorn merely gently raised his hand and pushed it forward.
At the same time, the Buddha behind him also extended its enormous palms, striking fiercely towards Jellal.
However, Jellal showed no fear; he laughed excitedly, his black magic power surging even more furiously towards Zorn. This powerful magic power was the result of four hundred years of accumulation and suppression, now fully erupting at this moment.
Bang~ Boom~
When the two powerful forces collided, the entire space immediately shook violently, and the resulting storm rapidly spread like a shockwave. For a moment, the world fell into chaos, spreading outwards.
As the two fought fiercely, a terrifying storm rapidly formed around them.
This powerful force forced the arriving reinforcements to defend with all their might, lest they be caught in it and harmed.
And the core of this battle was Zorn and Jellal.
Each of Zorn's attacks was as fierce as a landslide, each strike capable of repelling Jellal with a single palm, but even so, the boundless death power on Jellal continued to surge out, driving him to attack Zorn madly like a rabid dog.
Just then, a series of earth-shattering impacts suddenly came from the distant space, followed by a deafening dragon roar.
Hearing this sound, Jellal showed a sinister smile, as if he had already anticipated all of this:
"Oh~ It seems Acnologia has found the location of this space through the power we unleashed!"
However, unlike Jellal's relaxed attitude, Zorn's brows were tightly furrowed.
Because this situation had exceeded his initial expectations.
If Acnologia also came, it would become exceptionally difficult for him to simultaneously deal with the Black Wizard and the Dragon of the End.
After all, both of them are extremely powerful beings, and defeating them all at once is no easy feat.
