Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

During that year, Acnologia, who was still the 'Dragon Slayer Hero', went on a killing spree.

Whether it's an ordinary dragon or a terrifying being of the Dragon King level, anyone who dares to stand in Acnologia's way will only face death.

The dragons of the entire world of Asland have reached a critical moment of life and death.

Therefore, the great Flame Dragon King Igneel, in order to obtain the power to defeat the invincible Demon Dragon King Acnologia, did not hesitate to cooperate with the Dark Mage Zeref.

Ultimately, with the help of the ancient Celestial Magister family, the Heartfilia family.

Celestial Spirit Mages, Dragon Slayer Mages, dragons, and Dark Mages engaged in a relay race that lasted four hundred years and spanned several generations...

However, none of this had anything to do with Ian. His mission was unrelated to the main storyline; instead, he was responsible for safely transporting a group of arrogant, overbearing young dragons who completely disregarded humans to the Northern Continent.

In response, Ian learned the 'Dragon Manipulation Technique' that allows him to use psychological suggestion on dragons, and he also invented a transportation magic specifically designed to target dragon slayer mages!

Well, the so-called transportation magic is to add the properties of transportation to the air, making the air move, thereby indirectly affecting Acnologia, who is almost immune to magic.

Yes, Acnologia feels nauseous whenever she touches the air imbued with Ian's power. To be honest, it was Irene who inspired Ian to use this trick.

After all, in the original story, Irene successfully sent Acnologia, who was originally immune to magic, away by imbuing the earth with magic...

Although, like Erin, Ian couldn't do much damage to Acnologia, he could annoy him.

Unfortunately, Ian gets dizzy after using the transportation magic.

And so, Ian, along with his young dragons, traveled and disciplined these unruly dragon cubs while simultaneously entangled with Acnologia for nearly twenty years…

This was how all the young dragons on the continent of Ishgar were sent away.

Yes.

Ian offended not only the five dragon gods, but also Acnologia.

What hurt Ian the most was that during his second simulation, he thought he was just having a longer dream, just like before...

After all, that's what dreams are like.

Sometimes you feel like you've slept for a long time and experienced a lot, but when you open your eyes, you realize that less than ten minutes have passed.

This is still a magical otherworld, so it's normal for dreams to take a while.

Therefore, Ian has always shown people his true appearance.

It has to be said, he was careless...

"extract!"

As Ian finished reminiscing, he let out a long sigh and retrieved the rewards he had stored in the system.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer change the past...

All he could do was curse the system for being a rip-off while constantly striving to become stronger.

Until those potential enemies can no longer harm him.

"boom!"

In an instant, all the magic Ian had cultivated over twenty years in the Five Dragons timeline, along with the spells he had learned, rushed into his body.

In an instant, the barrier within Ian that distinguished him from the non-human was shattered by this powerful magic.

Judging from the magic power within Ian now, he is no less powerful than the bottom three of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

That is, Warold Shinken and others, represented by the founders of the Fairy Tail guild...

Of course, Ian is still slightly inferior to Serena, the 'god' who was originally ranked first among the Ten Archmages in the original work but ultimately betrayed the continent of Ishgar and turned to the western continent, namely Zeref, and successfully joined the Twelve Shields.

However, at this point in time, Serena is probably still somewhere in the countryside.

In other words, Ian has now reached the highest level on the continent of Ishgar...

But it's still not enough...

Compared to true powerhouses, he is far from being good enough!

Even someone as powerful as Ian, at the level of a Heavenly King, is like an ant crawling on the ground when facing beings like Eileen and the Magic King.

Not to mention the dragons, who are even more powerful than Irene and the Magic King, and the invincible Acnologia.

Now there's only one thing Ian can do, and that is...

"System, give me the simulation!"

The moment Ian cried out in his heart, he felt his consciousness go dark.

[The simulable character is Gray, and the timeline is Deliora's first invasion of Gray's town.]

[The simulacrum can be Kana, in the timeline before Cornelia Alperona's death.]

[The simulated object Natsu, before he was sent away by Igneel and Zeref using the Eclipse Gate.]

Ian looked at the countless timelines before him, and his eye twitched slightly.

Perhaps it's because the Natsu we see now isn't Zeref's younger brother, who died in the dragon attack. He's actually Balrog END, resurrected by Zeref using his brother's remains...

So there's only one thing that's troubling Natsu: why did Igneel leave without saying goodbye? He wanted to be with Igneel forever.

Ian immediately rejected this requirement, saying he simply couldn't fulfill it.

Next up is Cana and Gray...

Ian didn't hesitate and chose Gray directly.

Ian couldn't solve the problem troubling Kana; he knew nothing about treating patients. He needed to go to Poliusica first to brush up on his medical knowledge...

In summary.

Ian believes that Gray's timeline is the best fit for him now.

"simulation!"

As Ian identified the object of the simulation, he felt as if the world around him suddenly went dark.

When Ian regained consciousness, he found himself in a sea of ​​fire.

"Help! Someone please save me..."

"Damn it, why is a monster like Deliora here?!"

The entire town was filled with cries of agony and pleas for help.

[Warning: The timeline has changed.]

[Please depart immediately, host, otherwise this timeline will develop in an extreme direction.]

Gray is very likely to die.

"Depend on!"

Ian cursed angrily and disappeared into the burning town.

In these countless ruins, ravaged by demons...

A little boy looked terrified as his parents lay trapped under the rubble, unable to move.

"Grey, run!"

"Never look back..."

"As you can see, it is regrettable, but Meihua and I are powerless to leave."

"But you still have a chance to escape from here."

"Grey, live well, carrying the hopes of me and your mother."

Yin's legs, which were pressed against the roof beam, were already numb. His arm, pierced by nails, was too weak to move as he stood in front of Meihua. He bent down and looked at his wife, who had fainted from the impact and was now beneath him, with a look of infatuation in his eyes...

In fact, Silver had a chance to escape. He was one of the first to discover Deliora's invasion of the town, but he rushed back without hesitation in order to save his wife who was still in the house.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to leave again...

Yin never regretted dying alongside Meihua.

If there is anything in this world that Yin worries about, it must be his young son.

Finally, Silver raised his head and looked at his proud son, encouraging him, "Grey, be brave! You're all grown up now, it's time to make a choice! Run, carry the hopes of me and your mother, and live on."

After all, sometimes it takes more courage to run away than to die.

"Father!! Mother!"

Gray's voice was hoarse, his eyes were already red, and tears were dripping from them.

"Roar!!"

Not far away, the demon's roar grew ever closer.

"Run, Gray!!"

Silver roared incessantly from beneath the house.

"asshole."

Gray raised his head, his eyes filled with hatred and loathing as he glared fiercely at the demon in the distance. He wanted revenge; he wanted to live; sooner or later, he would kill the culprit who had destroyed the town—the demon Deliora.

Gray's heart was about to be filled with hatred.

So much so that it ultimately led to disaster, before the very thing he would regret for the rest of his life happened...

A figure resembling a demon appeared before Gray without his noticing.

Yes, Deliora!

"do not want!"

Yin roared, and he didn't know where the strength came from. His previously numb body was filled with power once again, and he seemed to be able to break free from the heavy ruins.

As for Gray, his pupils contracted slightly.

Perhaps, dying here wouldn't be so bad...

At least it won't kill that person.

Who is that person?

"Do not!!"

At Silver's roar, Deliora swung his fist.
