The participation of the Zodiac significantly boosted the spirits of the Star Spirits.
Loki, or rather Leo, who usually seems unreliable, actually had a hidden 'Encourage' skill.
As long as he stood on the mountain peak and unleashed the 'Lion King's Radiance', any Star Spirit bathed in the golden light could significantly increase their strength.
If Frederick hadn't used the Star Spirit Key to steal some of the Star Spirits' power, Loki's move could have almost secured victory.
"Lebra, Bisques!"
"Understood."
The Libra and Pisces Constellations already had a seamless coordination with Yukino; at this moment, they targeted the aerial battlefield.
Using Gravity Magic, the Libra Constellation pulled down balloons or birds from the sky, allowing the Pisces Constellation mother and child to finish them off.
"Sajidarius, target the airborne opponents first. Gemini..." Erza smiled lightly, "Become me!"
"Yes!"
The Sagittarius Constellation drew the bow and arrows, skillfully executing various advanced archery techniques, occasionally bringing down a few bush warblers, wasps, or eagles from the sky.
As Gemini obediently transformed into Erza, the two Erzass charged downhill, causing chaos like tigers in a flock of sheep.
"This is a bit terrifying." Gray watched the two Erzass charge and felt a bit conflicted.
Taurus snorted white air from its nostrils: "Moo~~ Isn't this wonderful?! Both Miss Erzas have such great figures! Gemini is just... too enviable! So let's hurry and join in too!"
Kyansa clicked its scissors a few times: "Shrimp~ Should I help them trim their hair to tell them apart?"
"..." Gray sighed, wondering how Lucy usually communicated with these guys, "Anyway, let's fight first."
The Taurus Constellation swung its giant axe, ferociously advancing toward Erza's direction, while Kyansa agilely weaved through the crowd, easily destroying many enemies' weapons with its small scissors.
"Goat! Scorpion! Let's head the other way!" The clever Natsu thought that way they wouldn't have their enemies stolen by their teammates.
Kaburico, ever the gentleman, gently bowed and politely suggested, "Mr. Natsu, it's important to keep an appropriate distance from your companions on the battlefield."
"Yeah~~" Scorpio made a very 6+1 hand gesture, "This way, we can assist each other."
"Nonsense! Didn't Loki say you should listen to me? Anyway, charge with me!"
The Capricorn and Scorpio Constellations had no choice but to follow, intending to remind him that the Star Spirit Mage should stay within the range where the Star Spirits could assist them.
From his demeanor, it was clear he wasn't going to listen.
Wendy looked at the two girls in front of her: "I'm sorry, Miss Alyes, Miss Balrog, my Magic Power isn't as strong as everyone else's."
Alyes seemed even weaker than Wendy: "Sorry! It's because I'm too weak."
Balrog directly handed Wendy a whip: "Do you want to punish us like a princess, little princess?"
The title "little princess" hit Wendy a bit, and Lucy took the opportunity to break in: "I never punished you guys!"
Aquarius grabbed Lucy by the collar and dragged her away: "We're going over there."
Lucy waved her hands helplessly: "Hey~~~ Why is it Natsu's side? I want to follow Mr. Rhode, or even Erza would be fine!"
Aquarius gritted her teeth: "Because that idiot took Scorpio specifically to the place with the most enemies! I won't forgive you!"
"Why won't you forgive me?!"
"I heard he's your boyfriend!"
Lucy denied it with a blush: "No, he's not! Who said that?"
"Love!"
Hapi sat excitedly on a pink mechanical bear's shoulder, "I've learned Celestial Spirit Magic, Carla, I've gotten stronger too."
Carla replied helplessly: "You totally haven't learned it, Loki said it's just a temporary contract, and the Star Spirits need to cooperate completely."
"Love?"
Not wanting to talk with Hapi, Carla turned to her summoned Star Spirit: "How long are you going to be depressed? Time to fight!"
It was a somewhat gloomy man, dressed in purple, with sleeves resembling black swan wings, covering his cheeks with his arms, mumbling continuously:
"There are already so many in the Cygnus Constellation, one less like me doesn't matter. Characters like me usually have no presence, now I have to listen to the cat's command. If I..."
Carla felt a bit of a headache; finding someone normal among Star Spirits was truly rare.
After much encouragement and urging, she finally convinced the Cygnus Constellation to set off.
In contrast, Rhode had a much easier time.
The Ophiuchus Constellation he was in charge of summoning was a mechanical giant snake, with purple-black scales and a silver-white belly, exuding a metallic glow all over its body.
Rhode stood atop Ophix's head, and the giant snake's body began to expand again.
With just ordinary movement, it carved a deep groove into the ground, crushing trees like weeds along the way, making ordinary Star Spirits almost completely devoid of the thought of resistance upon seeing her.
She fixed her eyes on a high mountain, coiling around it from the base, winding upwards, her massive mouth opening to knock away or swallow rebellious Star Spirits along the way.
Allies hurriedly evaded, taking shelter beside her long body.
When Rhode followed her head up to the mountaintop and looked down, he saw Ophix's tail still at the base of the mountain, with her body coiling around it, seemingly capable of crushing the entire mountain with just a little force.
A veritable Snake Coiling Mountain.
Rhode gently patted Ophix's head: "Although I heard your power surpasses the Twelve Zodiac Gates, isn't this size a bit excessive?"
"Surpassing the Zodiac is just an exaggeration; truthfully, my strength comes from you." Despite her enormous size, Ophix's voice was warm and bubbly like a gentle nurse, making it sound endearing and pleasing to the ear.
Her mood seemed quite joyful: "The size I can display depends on the power of the summoner. Theoretically, if your Magic Power were infinite, then I might grow infinitely large."
Rhode chuckled: "I'll suggest to the Council to collaborate with Yukino and hire you as a Magic Power Tester; from now on, a mage's Magic Power level will be measured in tens of meters, hundreds of meters, and thousands of meters..."
"You're quite humorous."
This was enough to make a Dragon laugh for half an hour! Rhode thought to himself about the Marine Sub-Dragon: "I'll introduce you to someone even funnier... Let's head over there next."
"Yes." Ophix prepared to descend the mountain, but as soon as she lightly moved, there was a cracking sound — the mountain really broke apart.
"I was hoping to cause a little less damage..."
However, it was about to be torn apart by those two big guys anyway.
"I'm sorry!" Ophix had almost no experience operating in the Human Realm in this form, lacking experience.
She carefully controlled her body to prevent the mountain from easily collapsing and called out below: "Everyone, climb onto my back!"
