Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The thunderous sounds continued unabated. Laxus felt the Temple of Divine Resonance being continuously destroyed, and his expression changed as he sensed something shattering.

Thunder, wails, and laughter echoed throughout Magnolia.

"Ah, compassion! Humanity!" Hinata Hoshino sighed silently, while Makarov struggled to try and help.

"President, your body is already at its limit, don't push yourself too hard."

"What do you mean?"

"The outer shell is fragile, and the inside is easily damaged."

"No, that's not true. I can feel that you've healed me. I'm just a little weak."

"Fine, since you've given me insights into humanity, I'll lend a hand. Starry River."

The stars shone brightly, and countless starlight rained down, shattering one magic crystal after another.

"Bang bang..."

A crisp sound rang out, and the Fairy Tail members, who were still struggling, stopped their magic and, with their battered bodies, watched this magnificent scene.

"Hahaha, what amazing magic! Hoshino, I'm defeated. But Natsu, Gajeel, please teach me!"

"Even though I don't understand what you're saying, I'm fired up!"

"I'm just as excited!"

"Is that so? Then let's warm up! Thunder Dragon's Roar!"

"The Roar of the Fire Dragon".

"The Roar of the Iron Dragon".

The roars of the fire dragon and the iron dragon combined to counter the roar of the thunder dragon, resulting in a stalemate for a time.

"boom!"

The magic exploded with a deafening roar, destroying half of the church. Makarov gripped Hyuga Hoshino's arm, tears streaming down his face, "Hoshino, you have to help me!"

"It's alright, President. It's just a church. You deserve it."

"No, that's a historical building, and the price is extremely high."

“The residents of Magnolia don’t care about this, we can just rebuild it.”

"That's true, but no! At this rate, the entire Magnolia will probably be wiped out. Heavens!"

"The key is that God himself couldn't protect himself in his own territory, and that has nothing to do with you."

"Not bad, I acknowledge your strength!"

Chapter 282 Harvest Festival Parade

"Thunder Dragon's Jaw".

Laxus gathered lightning in both fists and struck Natsu and Gajeel from the left and right respectively.

"The Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon".

"Iron Dragon's Steel Fist".

Another collision occurred, the ground beneath the three people cracked, and they all staggered back several steps. The resulting magical storm completely destroyed the church.

"Ding"

As the hands of the church clock fell, the three of them acted again the instant they hit the ground.

"Lightning strike."

Laxus unleashed a pillar of lightning from his palm to attack Natsu and Gajeel; the power of this attack was enough to destroy a palace.

"The blazing flames of the fire dragon."

"Iron Dragon Staff".

Gajeel slammed the iron rod into the ground, channeling electricity into the earth, and Natsu seized the opportunity to unleash the Blazing Flame of the Fire Dragon at Laxus.

"Thunder blast!"

Laxus slammed his palm into the ground, unleashing a powerful burst of lightning that sent Natsu and Gajeel flying.

At the same time, the enormous impact and flying debris struck the two men, causing them to fall to the ground and remain motionless.

"Hoohoo!"

Taking a few deep breaths, Laxus prepared to pick up his cloak and leave, while Natsu and Gajeel stood up shakily.

"Laxus, don't leave, the battle is not over yet."

"That's right, I haven't had enough yet."

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Crimson Lotus Blazing Blade".

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Karma Demon: Iron God Sword".

Flames and iron combine to form a sword aura that is virtually indestructible. Laxus raises his hand, unleashing the same Dragon Slayer technique.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Thunderous Roar".

The three magical energies clashed, mixed, and compressed. Looking at the massive ball of magical energy, Laxus felt a surge of despair, while Natsu and Gajeel helplessly watched the magical energy about to erupt.

The moment the residents of Magnolia opened their windows, it was as if they were seeing the sun.

As Hinata Hoshino listened to the panicked, fearful, desperate, and helpless voices around him, it was as if he were hearing a magnificent melody, as if his ears were temporarily enlightened by celestial music.

Raise your hand and press down; the magic ball disappears inch by inch, finally vanishing without a trace.

"As expected, it's still the same! But don't underestimate me, Laxus, the law of the fairies!"

"Stop, Laxus!"

"Oh, Erza and Mira, you're late!"

"boom!"

Golden magical light swept across the entire Magnolia, yet no one was harmed in the slightest.

"Such a warm and magical power!"

Natsu muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered what Makarov had said and roared at Laxus, "Laxus, you still consider us partners, don't you!"

"Long-winded!"

Laxus covered his face, tears silently streaming down his cheeks.

"Oh dear, it's tears, a river of sorrow flowing backwards! President, what do you think?"

"Lagustas..."

Laxus looked at Hinata Hoshino and Makarov, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I was wrong."

Hyuga Hoshino nodded. "To err is human, to forgive divine. Let's restore things to their former state."

A vast magical power enveloped Magnolia, and all the buildings damaged by Laxus were restored as if time had reversed.

"Hoshino!"

The others were overjoyed to see Hyuga Hoshino arrive, but Makarov was somewhat displeased, "Can't any of you see the old man?"

"Let's go, let's leave this to the Chairman and Laxus."

The group then left. Makarov looked at Lagersas, his eyes filled with self-reproach and helplessness.

"Laxus, it's my fault. I didn't pay enough attention to your growth and led you astray."

"I'm the one who should apologize, Grandpa."

Back at the guild, Mira, Erza, Juvia, Lisanna, Cana, Lucy, and Levy gathered around Hinata Hoshino.

"Hoshino, who are you performing with at the Harvest Festival tonight?"

"Together!"

"with whom?"

Clearly dissatisfied with Hinata Hoshino's answer, Hinata Hoshino smiled and said, "Together."

As night fell, the floats of the Harvest Festival parade slowly drove out, with Hinata Hoshino and Erza standing at the very front.

Erza changed into a fairy robe, and Hinata Hoshino changed into Hanfu. They danced together under the moonlight, creating a dreamlike scene.

The second carriage carried Hinata Hoshino and Juvia. Juvia stirred up a small wave of water, and Hinata Hoshino gently blew on it, turning the water into a sky full of sparkling droplets, with a thin mist enveloping the float.

The third carriage carried Lucy and Hinata Hoshino, and the residents of Magnolia began to realize that something was wrong.

"Something's not right. Am I seeing things? A young man keeps refreshing the page?"

"You read that right, it's refreshing, sir!"

The old man turned his head and saw it was Hyuga Hoshino. He almost fainted. Hyuga Hoshino smiled and released the wood clone.

Lucy nodded to Hinata Hoshino, the key to the Zodiac appeared, the twelve zodiac spirits accepted the summons and appeared, displaying their magic. Hinata Hoshino waved his hand and stardust appeared, swirling around the float.

The fourth carriage contains Erza and Hinata Hoshino. The two draw their longswords and begin to exchange moves, presenting a sword dance.

The middle sections feature Makarov disguised as a clown, Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel in their Iron, Fire, and Ice Song. Their magic intertwines, composing a symphony.

The grand finale was a musical ensemble performed by Hinata Hoshino, Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman, with Mira as the lead vocalist.

Hinata Hoshino waves, fireworks burst forth, filling the sky with brilliance.

Laxus stared intently at the float, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.

"So you know being arrogant is pointless now?"

Hinata Hoshino stood behind Laxus, while Abba Grin, Freed, and Bigelow glared at him resentfully.

"Yes! Tsundere didn't want to. I should face reality and understand my own heart. I should leave the guild."

"Laxus, if we're leaving, we'll leave together!"

"no need."

Laxus wanted to wave goodbye casually and leave, but when he turned around, he found Hinata Hoshino hiding behind the three of them talking, and the atmosphere instantly vanished.

"Haha, let's lighten the mood a bit, so it doesn't get too sad. Also, Laxus, there's a little surprise at the end, so take a good look."
