After Wendy finished speaking, her body immediately responded, emitting a faint green magic power, and a breath of life spread out. A dragon head immediately appeared in the flames, and the flame wings instantly spread out, and the dragon's roar echoed throughout the village. All the giants showed shocked expressions.
"Oh~ I didn't expect a Dragon Slayer to still exist in this era!" The Flame Dragon looked at the crowd in front of him, especially at Natsu and Wendy.
"A Dragon~ I didn't expect there to be a Dragon with the same attribute as me still alive. Hello, Uncle~" Natsu immediately took a few steps forward, greeting him warmly.
"Alive? Not at all!" The Flame Dragon shook his head in denial.
"No~ this form is materialized by my magic, Milky Way!" Wendy maintained her magic, then explained to everyone.
"Yes, I died a long time ago~" The Flame Dragon looked at Natsu, a hint of nostalgia and sadness flashing in his eyes, as if recalling past events.
"Kid, your magic power makes me sense an old acquaintance. Who are you to Igneel, the Flame Dragon King!" The Flame Dragon lowered his head, his fiery eyes staring deeply at Natsu. Although he had already guessed something, he still wanted to hear Natsu's exact statement.
"Igneel is my father~" Natsu replied happily, a smile on his lips.
"Igneel's child, that means a friend's child. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet one four hundred years later, truly Heaven has been kind to me." The Flame Dragon said, his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly scrutinizing Natsu.
The Flame Dragon looked at Natsu, and a surge of emotion welled up in his heart.
Four hundred years ago, he and Igneel fought side by side, together against their enemies.
Now, seeing Igneel's child standing before him, he felt immense relief.
"Natsu, your father was once the King of our race, and also my good friend. Consider this my meeting gift to you!" The Flame Dragon said. He opened his gaping maw and spat out a massive ball of fire, which glowed like a burning sun, radiating astonishing heat.
The flames blazed fiercely in the air, as if they would ignite the entire world.
"You kid, didn't you really want to taste my flames! This should be able to increase your flame's intensity!" The Flame Dragon said in a low voice, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Natsu's eyes widened as he looked at the fireball in front of him, his heart filled with unease and hesitation, he knew what this energy was.
"Uncle?" Natsu called out blankly, but before he could react, the Flame Dragon had already moved swiftly.
Taking advantage of Natsu's slightly open mouth, he directly shoved the flames into Natsu's mouth.
Natsu's eyes immediately widened, a pained expression on his face, and he let out a scream.
"Ah~" Natsu immediately cried out in pain, scorching flames rising from his body, and scales slowly appearing on his skin, clearly entering a specific state.
His body began to tremble, seemingly enduring immense pain, but at the same time, a powerful energy surged within him.
"So hot~" Lucy and Happy stood closest to Natsu, they felt the scorching aura and were immediately burned, quickly retreating backward.
They looked at Natsu in surprise, wondering if he could withstand such power.
"Natsu, is he alright~" Kana also looked at Zorn with a worried expression, asking anxiously.
She tightly clenched her fists, silently praying for Natsu's safety.
"Don't worry, this can be considered Natsu's opportunity!" Zorn said with a smile, but his actions were not idle; he immediately spread his hands, and a diamond-shaped protective shield directly covered Natsu.
Instantly, the surrounding temperature dropped to an acceptable range.
Zorn also hadn't expected that the Flame Dragon's soul, unaffected by the freezing, would split half of his soul power and give it to Natsu.
And he estimated that he would once again fall into slumber.
"Although I don't know who you are, your magic power truly terrifies me. The last one who made me feel this way was that man!"
"With your protection, I'm very relieved for Natsu! You must be careful of Zeref, and the demon E.N.D., they are beings that even Igneel couldn't eliminate!"
The Flame Dragon said to Zorn, word by word.
As the Flame Dragon finished speaking, his body gradually dissipated, turning back into flames.
Zorn, however, was dumbfounded; he certainly knew who E.N.D. was, but he would protect, not eliminate.
It was just that after Tartaros, he still had to go back and discuss with those guys how to proceed.
After all, he didn't believe that Tartaros's grand activities truly had no involvement from other forces.
The only suspicion was the empire created by that man.
...
This was a cold place covered in white snow, where the cold wind howled, blowing up snowflakes and forming a white storm.
In this silent snowy land, a man stood quietly in front of a tombstone, seemingly performing some kind of memorial ceremony.
However, he suddenly felt someone approaching, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face: "Seriously, can't a person even sweep a grave in peace?"
The man, named Silver, didn't look back but directly waved his right hand, releasing a powerful magic power.
A pink ice pillar instantly flew from his hand, striking rapidly behind him like a bolt of lightning.
Not far behind him, a woman was quietly approaching, dressed in a black off-the-shoulder gown, draped in a mink fur shawl and cape, exuding a mysterious aura.
Facing Silver's sudden attack, the woman did not panic.
She smiled slightly, extended a hand, and opened her palm, revealing a void.
When the pink ice entered the void, it immediately vanished, transferred to another place.
The woman looked at Silver and said with a smile: "Lord Silver, you truly detest demons to the extreme! This concubine only came to deliver a message; this time, headquarters has issued a summons to all Nine Demon Gates!"
Hearing the woman's words, Silver stopped his movements, but his eyes were still full of hostility.
He coldly replied: "Are there no other people in the Nine Demon Gates! How dare they send you." With that, he waved his right hand again, preparing to continue his attack.
But the woman skillfully dodged his attack and continued to smile, saying: "Lord Silver, this summons was issued by that man, and it is very important. I hope you can proceed to headquarters as soon as possible."
Silver stopped his movements, gazed deeply for a moment, then resolutely turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.
Seeing Silver leave, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
She muttered to herself: "Tch~ To defeat Fairy Tail, this young lady can accept anything!" With that, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and her figure vanished with a ripple in space.
