"[Divine King's Decree: My words are absolute truth; no attack may harm me.]"
Nord spoke softly, and a layer of golden divine power surged from his body, transforming into a transparent ripple that spread outward.
Fairy Tail's members and Ishu's attacks—all energy-based magic—shattered upon approaching Nord, dispersing into their most primitive magical essence.
Those who had used enhancement magic, such as Elfman and Makarov, instantly reverted to their original forms, and Leo of the Lion, who had been summoned, was forcibly sent back to the Celestial Spirit Realm.
"What!!"
"Impossible!!"
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
They had already expected their attacks might not be effective, but for them to be so effortlessly erased by an ability they couldn't even comprehend was a blow beyond words.
"Don't panic."
Ishu was the first to regain his composure and called out to the others, "His power hasn't fully recovered yet. A god-tier spell like that can't be maintained indefinitely."
Then, Ishu turned his gaze to Erza Scarlet.
"Erza Scarlet, I understand that you don't want to fight Noel, but this battle is unavoidable. If you can't bring yourself to fight, then step back."
Throughout the battle, Erza had not attacked.
She only stood there, staring at Noel in a daze.
Ishu understood her feelings, but now was not the time to hesitate.
Their side was already at a disadvantage, and if Erza refused to fight, she would only be a liability.
Unlike the Shadow Gear team, who had wisely withdrawn, her presence on the battlefield without contributing would force them to divert their strength to protect her—something they could not afford in a battle they were already losing.
Hearing Ishu's words, a trace of shame flashed across Erza's face.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, they were filled with determination.
"[Requip: Purgatory Armor]."
As the light dissipated, Erza appeared before everyone, clad in black armor and wielding serrated blades.
(Noel, I will bring you back—no matter what.) Erza silently vowed in her heart.
"Let's begin."
Makarov spoke after seeing that the Shadow Gear team and Mirajane had successfully taken the burned and unconscious Natsu away.
"Yes!!!"
The members of Fairy Tail regained their spirits and charged at Nord once more.
"[Ice Prison]!"
Gray was the first to act.
He leaped into the air, conjuring an icy prison with both hands in an attempt to restrict Nord's movements and buy time for the others.
Seeing the ice form successfully, Gray subtly exhaled in relief, a faint trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.
However, Nord's expression remained completely unchanged as he watched the ice prison enclose him.
"Do you think such low-temperature ice can trap me? You haven't even reached absolute zero, yet you dare to show off before me?"
Nord spoke softly, and the golden divine energy surrounding him transformed into several sharp blades, slashing toward the ice prison.
The seemingly sturdy ice prison was instantly shattered into fragments under the golden divine energy.
Then, to Gray's horror, the remaining golden energy shot straight at him, sending him flying through the air.
"Gray!!!"
Lucy gritted her teeth and swung her golden key.
"[Open! Gate of Taurus, Taurus!]"
With a flash of light, a minotaur with spotted fur, bandaged forearms, and a nose ring appeared inside the palace.
"Go, Taurus!"
"Lucy-sama, your figure is as stunning as always!" Taurus chuckled before hurling his massive twin-bladed axe at Nord.
Nord let out a soft chuckle.
"If it were the Celestial Spirit King, I might have some concerns in my current weakened state. But for a mere Taurus to dare wield a blade against me—how laughable."
With a wave of his left hand, golden energy extended outward, transforming into radiant chains that shot toward Taurus, binding him tightly.
The golden chains glowed intensely, and Taurus let out a pained scream as he writhed in agony.
"Taurus!!"
Hearing his cries, Lucy quickly forced the gate shut, sending Taurus back to the Celestial Spirit World.
(I'm sorry, Taurus.) Lucy silently apologized in her heart.
"[Giant's Bone Fist]!"
At that moment, Makarov's arm expanded rapidly, his massive fist howling through the air as it smashed toward Norde.
In response, Nord simply swung his own fist, meeting Makarov's attack head-on and forcefully knocking it back.
Seizing this instant, Erza appeared beside Nord, her serrated blade slashing toward him.
However, Nord slightly tilted his body, effortlessly dodging her strike before delivering a swift roundhouse kick to her abdomen, sending her flying.
Elfman, having fully transformed with his Take Over magic, emerged on Nord's left side, his fists swinging toward Nord's ribs.
Nord glanced at him indifferently, spread his fingers, caught Elfman's fists mid-strike, and effortlessly hurled him aside.
A flash of lightning streaked forward—Laxus appeared right in front of Nord.
"[Raging Volt]!"
A surge of high-voltage electricity coursed through Nord's body, but it had no effect, vanishing into him like a stone sinking into the sea.
Nord broke through the lightning, driving his elbow into Laxus.
Caught off guard, Laxus barely managed to cross his arms in front of him before the impact sent him flying backward.
After casually crushing one of Cana's magic cards in his fingers, Nord shifted his gaze toward Ishu, who was preparing a large-scale spell.
"[Celestial Arbiter]!"
In that instant, the air within a dozen meters around Ishu was rapidly drawn toward him, creating a localized vacuum.
A towering, transparent figure—over ten meters tall—took shape behind him.
The ethereal figure wielded a vaguely defined weapon resembling a spear.
With a mighty motion, it hurled the spear at Nord.
As it tore through space, the very air twisted in its wake, and the resulting sonic boom threatened to rupture the eardrums of everyone present.
BOOM!
A massive explosion echoed across nearly a hundred meters.
The transparent spear pierced straight through the palace, tearing a gaping hole in the white walls.
Cracks spread throughout the structure, and the aftermath of the blast shrouded the battlefield in thick smoke, obscuring everyone's vision.
"Noel!"
Erza ran toward where Nord had been, her heart clenching in pain.
Anyone could see just how devastating that previous attack had been.
She silently prayed that Noel was unharmed.
"Insects... Very well, you've finally managed to pique my interest."
A sudden voice halted Erza in her tracks, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Step by step, Nord emerged from the lingering smoke and dust.
His body was completely unscathed—only the sleeve of his clothing had a small tear, barely three or four centimeters long.
"Impossible!!!"
Everyone stared at Nord in utter disbelief.
With an expression of cold indifference and arrogance, his mismatched purple and blue eyes swept over them.
"Very well. Allow me to show you what a True God is. The domain I stand in is far beyond what you mere mortals could ever hope to reach!"
As his words fell, a terrifying pressure erupted skyward, piercing through the heavens and engulfing everything within hundreds of meters.
At that moment, all thought ceased.
Time?
Space?
Magic?
None of it had any meaning anymore.
It was as if they had been plunged into boundless darkness—unable to see, hear, feel, or smell anything.
It was as if their very souls had lost all control, slipping into an abyss with no end.
Their minds emptied, all emotion faded, leaving only hollowness and silence.
Their consciousness blurred, unraveling, until it was completely erased.
And the last thing they saw... was the disdainful, arrogant curve of Nord's lips.
