Fairy Tail Destiny-Chapter 173: Ch : The Demon God Descends

Clap, clap, clap...

A soft applause rang out, causing Natsu, who had just defeated Zancrow and was still brimming with excitement, as well as Wendy, Carla, and the others, to momentarily freeze.

Their gazes shifted toward the source of the sound.

Standing not far from them was a delicate-looking girl.

She wore a wide-brimmed white hat adorned with dangling red gemstone pendants at each side.

A white cloak, oversized for her petite frame, draped over her shoulders.

Her face, framed by short light blue hair, bore an expressionless calm, and her pale blue eyes showed no hint of emotion.

She stood there quietly, clapping her hands slowly and deliberately, as if utterly detached from the scene before her.

"Impressive. As expected of Natsu Dragneel, the Salamander. You actually managed to defeat one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Zancrow. It seems I must slightly adjust my evaluation of you." The blue-haired girl spoke in a gentle voice, yet her tone lacked any real sincerity.

Natsu instinctively moved to shield Wendy behind him, his expression growing serious as he locked eyes with the girl.

"Who are you? Are you another one of those Seven Kin of Purgatory from Grimoire Heart, like Zancrow?"

To his surprise, the blue-haired girl shook her head lightly. "No, I do not belong to Grimoire Heart."

Nearby, Carla's pupils suddenly contracted, and her small body trembled slightly.

A look of sheer shock and fear spread across her face.

"Carla, what's wrong?"

Pantherlily, who stood closest to her, was the first to notice her unusual reaction and voiced his concern.

His question immediately drew the attention of Natsu and Wendy.

"Carla?" Wendy called out worriedly, noticing her companion's distress.

Sweat began to bead on Carla's forehead as she spoke with difficulty.

"This girl... I've seen her before. Back in Edolas, she fought against Mirajane. If I remember correctly, her name was..."

"Ophelia."

Before Carla could finish, the blue-haired girl spoke first, her light blue eyes calmly locking onto Carla as a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"You... Ah, I remember now. You were that Exceed from back then? How nostalgic."

She then gave a slight nod before introducing herself once again.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Ophelia Nars. I am one of the Seven Thrones of Demon God's Soul."

"Demon God's Soul? Isn't that one of the strongest factions within the Balam Alliance, the most powerful dark guild?" Happy's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Ophelia's affiliation.

"She... she's one of the Seven Thrones of Demon God's Soul, just like Dylan?"

The name instantly triggered Wendy's memory—Dylan Kel'Thuzad, the Ice Dragon Slayer they had encountered during the battle against Oracion Seis.

Ophelia, however, remained indifferent to their reactions.

Instead, she spoke in a detached tone. "An Exceed and a Dragon Slayer... quite an interesting combination. While you might not pose a real threat, just to prevent any unnecessary interference, I suppose I should eliminate you all before Master and the others arrive."

"Hmph! I don't care if you're from Grimore Heart or Demon God's Soul—if you dare lay a hand on my guild, I will never forgive you!"

Hearing Ophelia's words, Natsu's expression changed.

Without hesitation, he leaned back slightly and roared:

"Fire Dragon's Roar!!"

A surge of red flames erupted from Natsu's mouth, resembling a massive torrent of fire rushing straight toward Ophelia.

In the face of the overwhelming blaze, her figure seemed small and insignificant, as if she would be swallowed whole at any moment.

Yet, Ophelia remained perfectly calm, her expression unchanged.

"Mental Barrier."

Boom!

A transparent shield appeared silently in front of Ophelia. Natsu's Fire Dragon's Roar crashed into it head-on, but it didn't even cause a ripple.

"Mental Detonation."

Ophelia pointed a finger forward, and an eerie, invisible force radiated from her fingertips. Before anyone could react—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions erupted all over Natsu's body, catching him completely off guard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of violent explosions erupted without warning all over Natsu's body.

Caught completely off guard, he was blasted backward, slamming hard into a nearby rock wall.

The impact sent cracks spiderwebbing across the solid stone before he collapsed to the ground.

"Natsu!!"

Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily rushed over, helping the struggling Natsu to his feet.

"Cough... damn it."

Blood trickled from the corner of Natsu's mouth, and scorch marks covered his body from the explosions.

In just a single attack, Ophelia had severely injured him.

(Natsu... was seriously wounded this easily?!)

Happy stared at his battered friend in shock, his mind reeling.

Without hesitation, Ophelia pointed her hand at Natsu once more.

"Mental Detonation."

Boom!

The rocky slope behind Natsu suddenly exploded, sending massive chunks of stone crashing down.

The falling debris rained mercilessly upon Natsu, Wendy, and the others, burying them under the rubble.

"Still resisting...?"

Ophelia gazed at the heap of broken rock, her voice emotionless.

Suddenly—

Whoosh! Boom!

The ground beneath the debris trembled violently.

A deep, furious voice echoed from below.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art—Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!!!"

Boom!

The massive pile of rubble that had buried Natsu and the others was suddenly blasted apart by an overwhelming force.

A crimson firestorm erupted into the sky as Natsu, engulfed in flames, spun like a fiery whirlwind and charged straight at Ophelia.

"Ahhh! Take this!!"

Even before the firestorm reached her, the sheer force of the winds it generated sent Ophelia's cloak billowing wildly.

Dust and debris filled the air, a testament to the immense power behind Natsu's ultimate technique.

For the first time, Ophelia's expression shifted ever so slightly—she acknowledged the attack with a hint of seriousness.

But there was still not a trace of panic in her piercing blue eyes.

Instead, they glowed with a brilliant light as she coldly uttered—

"Mental Shockwave."

Rippling waves of transparent energy pulsed from Ophelia's fingertips, distorting the very space around them.

The psychic shockwave collided directly with Natsu's Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade.

BOOM!

In an instant, Natsu's raging inferno was utterly shattered, offering no resistance against the psychic force.

The shockwave tore through the flames and struck Natsu head-on, forcing a painful groan from him as his body was flung backward.

The unleashed energy didn't stop there—it obliterated the entire battlefield, causing the ground to collapse.

The terrain crumbled away, and Natsu, Wendy, Carla, and Pantherlily plummeted helplessly down the mountainside.

"Fairy Tail's wizards... this is the extent of their strength."

Ophelia stepped to the edge of the cliff, preparing to pursue them.

But just as she was about to move, her body suddenly stiffened.

She frowned slightly, pressing a hand against her forehead.

"Garlos, huh? You've almost arrived already? I see... So the current situation on Tenrou Island is like this..."

Ophelia murmured a few words under her breath before severing her mental connection with Garlos.

Slowly, she lifted her gaze, her eyes silently fixed on the massive Tenrou Tree at the island's center.

In a calm and indifferent tone, she whispered to herself—

"...The moment the Demon God descends, everything is already decided. Fairy Tail, Grimoire Heart—it doesn't matter. Destruction is the only fate that awaits them. No one can stop it, nor can anyone change what's to come. Even His Majesty Nord is powerless to prevent it. This decaying world is destined to be shattered by our master... ushering in its final end."
