"I will create a land of freedom, a realm born from suffering and fear. Jellal whispered to me, I am the chosen one, destined to create this land of freedom alongside him.

Why can't you all understand? In the face of my great ideals, all sacrifices are worth it!"

Gerald crazily unleashed his magic, drawing one magic circle after another. The starlight, like missiles, swept across the battlefield, dissolving Erza and the others' resistance into nothingness.

Erza's magic swords shattered, while Natsu and Gray were battered and barely able to stand.

Lucy's Aquarius was sent back to the Spirit World, while Juvia, thanks to her water form, fared slightly better. Simon and the others were all heavily injured, lying unconscious on the ground.

"Gerald, your so-called ideals will never come to fruition, because we still have George!"

Erza, her body battered but her spirit unwavering, gritted her teeth and shouted as she struggled to her feet, staring up at Gerald, whose face was now twisted with madness.

At this moment, the seven minutes had passed, and Erza could see the thunderclouds filled with lightning above her and the Thunder Giant that was gradually taking shape behind Gerald.

"Boom!"

As Erza's words echoed in the air, countless bolts of lightning, controlled by George's wand, surged toward Gerald in the sky.

Gerald raised his hand and summoned a magic array, gathering starlight to form a shield in front of him, blocking the lightning. He turned in surprise to look at George, standing atop the Thunder Giant.

"I thought Erza would be the hardest to deal with, but it turns out you're the one causing the trouble, you cat!"

The strength of Erza and the others was a bit higher than the intelligence reports suggested, but it was still within his expectations. The one who truly exceeded his predictions was George, the "cat."

Initial reports indicated that George could use a magic similar to the Arc of Time—a restoration magic. Later, it seemed he had also gained fire and attack magic, but his strength was supposed to be no more than that of an average S-Class mage.

That's why when George quietly distanced himself from the battle earlier, Gerald didn't pay much attention.

Once he eliminated Erza and her group, he figured that a mere cat would hardly pose any threat.

But now, it seemed that George's power was far beyond a typical S-Class mage. The lightning strikes bombarding him were as powerful as the magic of any high-ranking lightning mage, and what made it worse was that they were continuous.

"You still haven't seen everything," George responded calmly.

Seeing that Gerald had blocked the lightning strike, George directed the 30-meter-tall Thunder Giant to raise its right hand.

"Go!"

The immense electrical power, combined with iron sand and rocks, fired off a massive version of an electromagnetic cannon.

"It seems stronger than the previous one, but it's still not enough to defeat me."

With his left hand maintaining the starlight magic shield against the lightning bombardment, Gerald's right hand extended, summoning a golden magic array.

"Celestial Magic: Six Star Barrage!"

Six golden stars appeared within the array, firing off like a rapid barrage of projectiles to intercept the electromagnetic cannon.

A massive explosion followed, and both the stars and the electromagnetic cannon vanished.

"It's still not enough... well then, let's try this."

Seeing that the Thunder Giant's electromagnetic cannon hadn't even scratched Gerald, George knew it was time for his final move.

The fusion of ancient Thunderstorm magic and his lightning-based superpower: his newly created ultimate electromagnetic cannon.

He closed his eyes, entering a meditative state to attune with the ancient magic and the surrounding world. Then, he swung his wand, drawing all the lightning bolts that had been aimed at Gerald into a single point above his head and channeled them into the body of the Thunder Giant.

As the lightning surged into it, the Thunder Giant's body began to swell rapidly. More and more sand, rock, and iron were pulled in by the electricity, and soon, even seawater from the nearby island was drawn into the giant's body.

In mere seconds, the 30-meter-tall Thunder Giant, which had been powered by a Level 4 user's abilities, surpassed the 100-meter-high Thunder Giant of Mikoto Misaka, a Level 5 esper. The giant continued to grow until it reached 200 meters, at which point it finally stopped.

"It seems this is the limit!"

The 200-meter Thunder Giant was the current limit of George's abilities, controlled through his Level 4 powers combined with magic. If he continued to infuse it with more lightning, he wouldn't be able to maintain control over the massive electrical power within the giant's body.

To break this limit, his superpower would need to rise from Level 4 to Level 5.

"What kind of magic is this?"

At that moment, even the usually calm Gerald was shocked by the Thunder Giant, which was now twice the size of the magic crystal.

He knew that the Fairy Tail guild's master, Makarov, was a master of giant magic, and he was aware that this "cat" had previously used a similar magic to enlarge his form. However, the giant magic Gerald knew didn't work like this.

"So this is what George calls his trump card?"

Lucy and the others struggled to sit up, staring in awe at the 200-meter-tall Thunder Giant.

"Laxus couldn't do something like this!" Gray muttered.

Who was the strongest lightning mage in the guild?

It was, of course, the S-Class mage Laxus, Makarov's grandson, who once knocked out Natsu with a single lightning strike.

But now, Gray thought the title of the guild's strongest lightning mage should go to George.

"George, show him what we're made of! Let him know the strength of Fairy Tail mages and prove that freedom taken from others isn't true freedom!"

Natsu, recovering rapidly, shot a burst of fire into the sky, shouting excitedly.

"Only the strong will to change the world can drive history forward.

Since we've come this far, it's time for all of you to die!"

Gerald's eyes filled with bloodshot fury as his hands swiftly drew a massive black magic array in the air.

"It's the Hell's Fragmentation! Gerald, are you trying to destroy the Magic Crystal Tower along with everything else?"

Erza gasped in shock as she recognized the magic circle.

Hell's Fragmentation was a forbidden magic that combined the elements of wind, water, fire, and earth to channel dark energy.

When they had captured the Ghost Controller's mobile fortress, the most powerful magic inside hadn't been the magic crystal cannon but Hell's Fragmentation—an ancient forbidden magic that was powered by four elemental mages, guided and amplified by Yosef.

At the time, Aria, who represented wind, had been killed by George, which had prevented the spell from being used.

But now, Gerald was using this forbidden magic on his own, clearly demonstrating that his power had surpassed Yosef's by a large margin.

"Destroy it if you want. In five years, I'll build another one."

Gerald poured all of his power into the black magic array.

Facing the 200-meter-high Thunder Giant, he was beginning to feel the immense pressure after expending a significant amount of magic power.

At this point, he could no longer care if the Magic Crystal Tower was affected.

"Forbidden Magic: Hell's Fragmentation!"

A massive burst of black energy exploded from the magic array, charging toward George.

"Shatter the darkness with thunder, Ultimate Electromagnetic Cannon!"

In response to Gerald's forbidden magic, George didn't dare to be careless. He concentrated all the electrical power within the Thunder Giant's body into his right hand and fired off the ultimate version of the electromagnetic cannon.
