A red curtain was set up at the guild's front desk, and countless spectators sat below.
The host on stage held a microphone, looking exceptionally excited: "Today's selection contest officially begins. Sorry to keep you waiting, I, Marcus, will be your host!"
"Ohhh!"
"Start! Hurry up and start!"
Cheers erupted from below, the sound echoing through the sky.
The host said excitedly: "Please welcome our first contestant, Cana Alberona!"
Cana was very confident as she walked out with her long legs, a slight smirk on her face. Six cards unfolded in her hand, colorful cards rotating around her body. Six became twelve, twelve became twenty-four, and soon the cards multiplied rapidly, obscuring her entire figure.
The next moment, Cana had changed into a sexy swimsuit!
"Vote for me if you like what you see!"
She looked down, brushed her hair, her eyes captivating, instantly causing countless perverts to scream.
Behind the scenes, Lucy and Erza peeked out to observe, then their eyes widened: "The art style has completely changed, this is too much!"
Erza's eyes lit up: "Is this allowed too?!"
"Erza wants to participate as well?"
"Of course, even Happy participated!"
Lucy was shocked; Happy can go up too?
This is a bit ridiculous!
On stage, the host began to introduce again: "The second one is an S-class beauty, Juvia Lockser!"
"Gray-sama!"
Juvia's love-struck brain kicked in. She spread her arms, her whole body turning into a swirl of water. The next moment, she also changed into a swimsuit and struck a sexy pose.
Her eyes were sparkling, and she seemed to have a filter over her, drawing cheers from the whole audience.
Lucy was so angry that steam came out of her head: "Damn it, so flirtatious. I won't be like that!"
Next, Mirajane, Levy, Erza... appeared one after another. All kinds of swimsuits, professional outfits, high heels, and silky legs were a dizzying sight, making the pack of wolves howl.
"Next up, her brilliance is the guidance of the Celestial Spirits, Lucy He..."
"Don't say my last name!"
Lucy rushed up in a panic to interrupt. At this time, she was wearing a blue midriff-baring top and a mini-skirt, waving awkwardly in greeting.
She didn't want her family to know, otherwise she wouldn't get the five hundred thousand.
The host said excitedly: "Please start your performance!"
Lucy smiled: "What I'm going to perform is..."
Before she could finish, a voice suddenly came from behind the curtain: "Your clothes are too tacky, don't waste any more time!"
Wait a minute!
Lucy shouted unwillingly in her heart, I haven't even started yet.
A woman in a green tube top walked out from the back, holding a fan and laughing softly: "The winner of this beauty pageant will be me, Evergreen!"
Lucy put her hands on her hips and said in a fit of pique: "Are you ignoring me?!"
The crowd below recognized the person in front of them and instantly became alert.
"Evergreen, of the Thunder God Tribe!"
Lucy didn't know this woman and went up angrily to argue: "Hey! I'm talking to you..."
However, before she could finish, Evergreen took off her glasses. A flash of green light appeared, and Lucy instantly turned into a stone statue.
"Lucy!"
"Damn it, she actually made a move!"
Everyone was shocked. The members of the Fairy Tail Guild began to evacuate the innocent people, and it soon became a chaotic mess!
Makarov strode forward and scolded angrily: "What are you doing, Evergreen? Do you want to ruin the festival?"
Evergreen chuckled: "The festival is just a side show. Now we get to the main event."
The curtain behind was pulled back, revealing Erza and the others who had been turned into statues.
"Big sister!"
"Erza!"
Elfman and Happy couldn't help but cry out.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning appeared in front. It was Laxus, with Fried and Bickslow behind him.
One had green hair and a rapier at his waist.
The other was tall, wearing a mask, with four dolls flying around his body.
The Thunder God Tribe! Laxus's personal guard!
Laxus laughed loudly: "Next, let's play something interesting and see which of our sides can survive!"
"These women turned into stone statues are my hostages. If anyone breaks the rules, I'll smash them one by one!"
Makarov couldn't believe his grandson would become like this: "Are you serious, Laxus?"
"Of course, I'm not in the mood for jokes!"
Laxus said indifferently: "The rules are simple, the last one alive is the winner!"
"Come! The Battle of Fairy Tail!"
Natsu's flames surged as he laughed: "Interesting, I'm all fired up now!"
His fist ignited with flames as he walked toward Laxus, saying confidently: "I'm coming at you!"
Warren, standing nearby, worried: "Can you do it? I heard you were defeated before."
"I've gotten stronger!"
Natsu held up three fingers and grinned widely, laughing: "Today, I'll show you all what it means to see someone in a new light after just three days!"
Marcus was shocked: "Whoa, you even know idioms?"
"Don't underestimate me!"
Natsu rushed forward quickly and swung a punch at Laxus, only to be struck by a bolt of lightning from the sky and turned into charcoal.
"Argh!!!"
Everyone was pale with shock; he was taken out in one hit.
Happy saw Natsu emitting black smoke and said helplessly: "You should be more careful."
"Enough talk. If you want to undo their petrification, you must defeat me first!" Evergreen said arrogantly.
Fried said with a cold gaze: "I have already set up Jutsu Shiki throughout Magnolia Town. We will determine the sole winner!"
"I'll be waiting for your challenge!"
After Laxus finished speaking, the four of them turned into a golden light and disappeared.
Elfman was furious: "This is too arrogant! I'm going to defeat them!"
"Me too! That bastard actually petrified my goddess!"
Everyone shouted and rushed out in a swarm, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Makarov choked and coughed as he rushed toward the door: "You damn brats, actually ignoring the words of the Master, see if I don't..."
Bang!
He slammed into the doorway and was bounced back. Soon, words appeared in the air.
Entry and exit forbidden for those over eighty years old.
"It's Fried's Letter Magic!"
Makarov said in surprise: "Those within the rules must obey; you cannot leave without following the rules!"
This kind of Jutsu Shiki Magic isn't suitable for fast combat, but once it's set, even the Ten Wizard Saints find it hard to break through.
"Thunder God Tribe, what are you doing?!"
Makarov was furious. They had actually restricted him, the guild's strongest. If they had the guts, they should let him out for a fight!
After a lot of shouting, he sat on the ground exhausted, lost in thought.
The main forces aren't here. Can anyone in the guild defeat Laxus now?
Erza might be able to, and so could Mystogan, Acnologia, and Irene, but now one is a stone statue and three are missing.
This is a big problem!
