Toby agreed.

Soon, the smoke dissipated, and Qi Yan was still standing in the same spot, even stretching.

"So comfortable!"

Qi Yan glanced at Shirley and said, "Could you use a little more force? You don't even have the strength for a massage, what kind of mage are you?"

"What?!!"

Sherry and the other two were dumbfounded by what they saw. Was this guy a monster? She had just controlled the rock puppet to attack with all her might, but how come it was completely unharmed and even asked her to increase her strength?

"Sherry, get out of the way!!"

When Yuka saw that Qi Yan was unharmed, she knew that they had encountered a monster.

"fluctuation!!"

Yuka raised his hand and released a wave of energy.

boom----! !

Yuka's energy wave slammed into Qi Yan, unleashing a violent explosive impact.

"Hmph! The energy waves I create can neutralize all magic. In other words, they can render other spells ineffective. No matter how strong your defensive magic is, it will be powerless against my energy waves..."

"Hmm...it feels even better..." Qi Yan's voice came from within the smoke.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Qi Yan remained standing unharmed.

Sherry and the other two were stunned. It was one thing that Sherry's rock doll couldn't break through the opponent's defense, but even Yuka's wave was ineffective against the opponent.

"You've all finished your turn, now it's my turn."

Qi Yan gripped the Congyun Sword with both hands, his muscles tensing, and the veins on his arms bulging.

"Drink————!"

With a loud shout, Qi Yan raised the Murakumogiri and slashed it forward with the momentum of splitting the heavens and earth.

Whoosh!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!

A massive slash swept across, cleaving the giant stone golem in two, creating a huge gap in the ground of the ruins, and splitting the distant mountains in two as well, until the slash struck the sea, splitting the sea surface in two as well, and finally disappearing from sight.

Gaaaaaah!

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt as if their throats had been choked and their hearts had been gripped by a giant hand.

"Monster!!!"

The mountain was cut open, and the sea was divided in two. What is this if not a monster?

"So refreshing!! So refreshing!! Gurala lala!!!"

Qi Yan burst into laughter, feeling both the exhilaration of possessing great power and the pent-up frustration from the battle at the summit.

Only after receiving Whitebeard Qi Yan did he realize how bad Whitebeard's condition was during the Marineford War; even if he hadn't participated in the Marineford War, his body wouldn't have lasted much longer.

His physical condition also prevented Whitebeard from freely using the three types of Haki, and he couldn't even use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with ease. Coupled with the attack before the battle, this directly resulted in him having only one-tenth of his strength when he participated in the battle, making the fight extremely frustrating.

Ultimately, it could only end that way.

But things are different now. Qi Yan has taken over Whitebeard's power, and as long as he has enough magic, he can unleash Whitebeard's peak combat strength.

This allowed Whitebeard's title as the 'strongest man in the world' to resound throughout the entire Fairy Tail world.

Chapter 87 Protecting Weaknesses

"So strong!!"

Seeing the power of Qi Yan's attack, Natsu's hair stood on end, and scorching flames shot out from his head.

Natsu was filled with shock and excitement. Powerful, so incredibly powerful. The moment Qi Yan unleashed that strike, he felt as if the sky itself had been cleaved in two.

Qi Yan felt that the characters he had played before were all different from those he had played before. Ulquiorra gave him the feeling that he was well-rounded and had very strong overall strength.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni gave him a dangerous feeling. Every time he saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Fuhei Shen'er was the character he had suffered the most with. Natsu felt that Qi Yan was a humanoid dragon.

Ace, this is his favorite, the raging flames, he could never forget it after tasting it once.

The only word Natsu could sense from this white-bearded old man was "powerful."

Unrivaled in power.

One strike, splitting mountains and severing seas.

That's incredibly strong, just too strong.

Without a doubt, this was the strongest character he had ever seen Qi Yan take on.

Lucy and Happy were also somewhat stunned. They had already seen Qi Yan become incredibly strong, like a monster, after receiving the 'Tyrant' form, but when they saw him receive Whitebeard, they realized that Qi Yan actually had an even stronger transformation.

And this transformation was so terrifying that they couldn't even imagine that such a powerful human existed.

Sherry and the other two were now slumped on the ground. The attack hadn't been aimed at them; they had only been slightly affected by the aftershocks. But after witnessing the terrifying destruction caused by Qi Yan, the three of them had long since lost their will to fight.

They stared at Qi Yan in horror. If the difference in strength wasn't too great, they could have tried to fight back. But now the difference in strength between the two sides was so great that there was no point in resisting.

Just as Qi Yan and Shirley were facing off.

Gray and Leon are also fighting.

"Leon, do you know what you're doing?! Ul lost her life to seal Deliora!! And you're thinking of destroying what Ul left behind!!"

Gray angrily questioned Leon.

Leon removed his helmet, revealing his true face—a cool and handsome man with light blue hair.

"How did you lose your memory, Gray? I remember you killed Ul. How can you still live without any shame? If you have any shame left, then don't get in my way. I'm going to resurrect Deliora."

"I won't let you succeed."

"Alright, let's settle this with a duel."

"ICEMAKE·Big Eagle!"

Leon raised his hand and created a large number of ice eagles, which flew rapidly towards Gray.

"ICEMAKE Ice Shield!!"

Gray quickly raised a shield in front of him.

The ice eagle swiftly bypassed the ice shield and struck Gray.

“Wu ...!!!”

Gray let out a painful scream.

Leon said calmly, "You excel at static spellcasting, while I excel at dynamic spellcasting. Have you forgotten that my magic can move?"

"ICEMAKE·Great Hammer Soldier!!"

Gray emerged from the ice in a disheveled state and quickly cast a spell.

A giant ice hammer formed above Leon's head and crashed down on him.

Leon calmly raised his finger: "ICEMAKE Great Ape!!"

A giant ice ape was created, raising its arms to block Leon's head.

Snap!

The giant ape's arms and ice hammer shattered together.

Leon scoffed, "You're utterly pathetic. You still use your hands to cast spells, just like before."

"Didn't Uru teach us this? It's easy to lose your balance when posing with only one hand!"

“I’m different. My abilities have long surpassed those of Uru.”

"Don't be so self-righteous."

"To return the favor, have you ever hit a nerve with me, from childhood to adulthood?"

"I'm different now!!"

"Ice Spring!!!"

Gray pressed his hands to the ground, and large amounts of ice gushed upwards from the ground like a spring.

Click, click—!

Leon used the same magic with one hand to completely negate the icy spring released by Gray.

"It's the same. I'm your senior brother. I'm stronger than you. I can make a pose with one hand, but you can't. Nothing has changed. Although we chose different paths, time seems to have frozen in the past."

Leon raised his palm, and an ice dragon roared up from the ground, knocking Gray away.

"Ugh——!"

Gray crashed heavily to the ground.

“Uru is my goal, surpassing Uru is my dream, but you have taken away this dream. I can no longer surpass Uru, so there is only one way, which is Deliora, whom even Uru cannot defeat. If I can defeat it, then I will surpass Uru, and my dream will come true.” Leon’s expression had gone mad.

Gray was incredulous upon hearing Leon's words: "Are you serious? This is your real purpose? You should know how terrifying Deliora is. Stop! It's impossible!!"

Leon's face contorted with rage as he listened to Gray's words.

Large blocks of ice rose from beneath Gray's feet.

"Whoa—!!"

"You told me to stop, and you said it was impossible?! We said the same thing to you back then, you haven't forgotten, have you? It was because you wanted to challenge Deliora that Uru died!! You have no right to call Uru's name!! Disappear!! Disappear!!"

Rumble—!

A loud noise caught Leon's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and his pupils constricted as he witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

A massive mountain in the distance was cleaved in two by a single blow, and the sea further away was also torn apart.

"This...this...what?"

This destructive power has exceeded Leon's concept of magic.

Qi Yan noticed the situation and walked over step by step. When he passed by Leon, Leon's mind immediately tensed up. He felt as if a terrifying monster had walked past him. He had never experienced such a dangerous feeling before, and he forced himself not to make a move.

Qi Yan approached Gray with a smile: "You're so weak. You got beaten up badly, and you said something cool like 'I'm your opponent.' It hasn't been long since you were knocked down?"

Gray had nothing to say about it; he had indeed lost, and lost badly.

At this moment, Qi Yan changed the subject: "However! No matter how weak you are, you are still a Fairy Tail mage. I can bully you however I want, but I won't let outsiders bully you."

Chapter 88 Qi Yan VS Leon

Qi Yan's words gave Gray an indescribable feeling, and he forcibly held back his tears.

"Hmph! Do you want to stop me from resurrecting Deliora?"

Leon assumed a fighting stance.

Qi Yan waved his hand: "Don't talk about whether it's an obstacle or not. You can revive whoever you want, I don't care at all. But you shouldn't have tried to hurt my client and even hit my companion."

"Of course, it was a fair fight between you, but there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just the kind of person who's protective of his own."

Leon's eyes sharpened: "Hmph! What's the use of saying so many nice words? In the end, we still have to fight, don't we?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "It's still useful. At least it lets you know why you got beaten up."

"ICEMAKE·Big Eagle!!"

Leon raised his palm and released a large number of ice eagles, but Qi Yan stood still without dodging.

Boom boom boom boom! !

The ice eagle struck Qi Yan, exploded, and then rapidly began to regenerate, freezing Qi Yan's body in the blink of an eye.

"Qi Yan!!"

Lucy and the others were worried when they saw Qi Yan frozen in ice.
