A red curtain was erected at the guild's front desk, and countless onlookers sat below.
The host on stage, microphone in hand, was extremely excited: "Today's selection competition has officially begun. I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I, Marcus, will be the host!"
"Oh ho!"
"Start! Let's get started!"
A roar of cheers erupted from the audience, the sound echoing through the sky.
The host excitedly announced, "Please welcome our first contestant, Kana Alberona!"
Kana was very confident. She walked over with her long legs, a slight smile on her lips. She unfolded six cards in her hand, and the colorful cards spun around her. The six cards became twelve, the twelve became twenty-four, and soon the number of cards doubled and exploded, completely obscuring her figure.
The next moment, Kana had changed into a sexy swimsuit!
"Vote for me if you like it!"
She looked down, gently brushing her hair aside, her eyes alluring, instantly attracting screams from countless lecherous men.
Lucy and Erza peeked out from behind to observe, then their eyes widened: "The art style has completely changed! This is too much!"
Erza's eyes lit up: "Is that even possible?!"
"Is Erza going to participate too?"
"Of course, even Harpy participated!"
Lucy was shocked. Harpy could go up there too?
That's a bit outrageous!
On stage, the host began the introductions again: "The second is an S-class beauty, Juvia Rox!"
"Lord Grey!"
Juvia's love-struck mind kicked in; she stretched out her arms, her entire body transforming into a torrent of water, and in the next moment, she changed into a swimsuit, striking a sexy pose.
Her eyes sparkled, as if a filter had been added to her whole being, drawing cheers from the entire audience.
Lucy was so angry her head was practically steaming: "Damn it, so slutty, I would never do that!"
Next up were Mirajane, Levy, Erza... appearing one after another, in various swimsuits, business attire, high heels, stockings, and beautiful legs, dazzling the eye, while the wolves howled.
"Next up, please welcome our next guest, whose radiance is the guide of the Protoss, Lucy Har..."
"Don't reveal my last name!"
Lucy rushed up in a panic to interrupt, wearing a blue crop top and a miniskirt, and awkwardly waved to greet them.
She didn't want her family to know, otherwise she wouldn't get the 500,000 yuan.
The host exclaimed excitedly, "Please begin your performance!"
Lucy laughed and said, "What I'm going to perform is..."
Before she could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind the curtain: "You're dressed too tacky, you'd better not waste your time!"
Wait a moment!
Lucy cried out in frustration, "I haven't even started yet!"
A woman in a green tube top walked up from behind, holding a fan, and giggled, "I, Abba Green, am the winner of this beauty pageant!"
Lucy, hands on her hips, said angrily and embarrassedly, "Don't you respect me at all?!"
The crowd below recognized the person in front of them and immediately became alert.
"Abba Grin, the Thors!"
Lucy didn't recognize the woman and angrily went up to her, saying, "Hey! I'm talking to you..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Abba Grin took off her glasses, a flash of green light appeared, and Lucy instantly turned into a stone statue.
"Lucy!"
"Damn it, they actually attacked!"
Everyone was shocked, and the Fairy Tail guild members began to evacuate the innocent people, and soon chaos ensued!
Makarov strode forward, angrily shouting, "What are you doing, Abbagrim? Are you going to ruin the festival?"
Abba Green chuckled lightly: "The festival is just a side event; the main event is about to begin."
The curtain behind them was pulled back, revealing Erza and the others who had been turned into statues.
"elder sister!"
"Erza!"
Elfman and Happy couldn't help but gasp.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning appeared in front of them: Laxus, with Freecss and Big Sloe behind him.
A man with green hair and a rapier at his waist.
Another figure is tall, wearing a mask, with four dolls flying around him.
Thor's Crew! Laxus's Royal Guard!
Laxus laughed heartily: "Let's play something fun and see who survives!"
"These women who have turned to stone are my hostages. Anyone who breaks the rules, I'll smash them one by one!"
Makarov couldn't believe his grandson had turned out like this: "Are you serious, Laxus?"
"Of course, I have no interest in joking!"
Laxus said calmly, "The rules are simple: the last one standing wins!"
"Come on! The battle of Fairy Tail!"
Natsu's entire body erupted in flames, and he laughed loudly, "Interesting, I'm already ablaze!"
His fists flamed as he strode towards Laxus, confidently declaring, "I'm going in!"
Valen, standing beside him, asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can handle this? I heard you were defeated before?"
"I've become stronger!"
Natsu held up three fingers, grinned broadly, and laughed heartily: "Today I'll show you what it means to be a changed man after three days!"
Marcus exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, you know idioms?"
Don't underestimate me!
Natsu rushed forward and threw a punch at Laxus, only to be pulverized by a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky.
"ah!!!"
Everyone was shocked; he was killed in one move.
Happy saw Natsu covered in black smoke and sighed helplessly, "Be careful."
"Enough with the small talk. If you want them to be freed from petrification, you'll have to defeat me first!" Abbagrin said arrogantly.
Fried said coldly, "I have laid out spells throughout the entire town of Magnolia. We will fight to determine the sole victor!"
"I'm waiting for you to challenge me!"
After Laxus finished speaking, the four of them transformed into a golden light and disappeared.
Elfman was furious: "They're so arrogant! I'm going to take them down!"
"And me too, that bastard actually petrified my goddess!"
The crowd shouted and rushed out in a dense mass, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Makarov coughed violently and rushed towards the door, yelling, "Those wretched brats! How dare they disobey their chairman! Just you wait..."
Bang!
He rammed headfirst into the doorway, only to be bounced back. Soon after, a character appeared in the void.
People over 80 years of age are prohibited from entering.
"It's Fried's word magic!"
Makarov exclaimed in surprise, "Those who follow the rules must abide by them; those who don't cannot leave!"
This type of mage magic is not suitable for fast-paced combat, but once it is mastered, even the Ten Saints would find it difficult to break through.
"Thor's crew, what are you doing?!"
Makarov was furious. They actually managed to restrict him, the strongest member of the guild. If he had the guts, let him out for a fight!
After a loud argument, he sat down on the ground, exhausted, and fell into deep thought.
With all the main forces gone, can anyone in the guild still defeat Laxus?
Erza might have been able to, as could Mystogan, Acnologia, and Irene, but now one has turned to stone, and the other three have disappeared without a trace.
This is a huge problem!
