Unbelievably Strong

"???"

Everyone in Fairy Tail was left speechless by Uchiha Kitaro's words, question marks practically floating over their heads.

But Kitaro didn't bother to explain.

"Buzz—!!"

Clenching his fist, a translucent white energy sphere formed around it, pulsing with raw power.

"That...?!"

Natsu, Gray, and Happy immediately recognized what was coming.

Kitaro positioned himself like a drawn bow, ready to strike. Then, with explosive force, he thrust his fist forward.

"——!!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The air in front of him fractured like shattered glass.

"The... the air broke apart?!"

Fairy Tail members screamed in shock.

BOOOOOM!

A monstrous shockwave erupted, sending tremors rippling through Magnolia. The force of the impact surged directly toward the Phantom Lord's headquarters.

A massive fissure split open the ground, swallowing up parts of the lake as water poured into the cracks.

"Waaahhh!!"

"What the hell is this?!"

Panic swept through Phantom Lord's guild as its members were thrown off their feet, crashing into walls and tumbling across the floor.

"Damn it! What kind of power is this?!" Jose staggered, barely keeping himself upright by gripping the nearest wall.

CRACK—!!

A massive rift split Phantom Lord's headquarters in half. Cracks spread across its walls, turning the grand guild into a crumbling ruin, mirroring the battered state of Fairy Tail's own guildhall.

"The Phantom Lord's HQ... it's been split in two!!"

Fairy Tail members stood in stunned silence, horrified and amazed.

But no one was more terrified than the Phantom Lord's members. Their entire headquarters had just been destroyed in a single strike.

Kitaro surveyed the damage, nodding in satisfaction. "Now that's fair."

After all, Fairy Tail only had one guild hall. Even though they had taken out several Phantom Lord branches, the main HQ had remained untouched. Until now.

"We did it!!!"

Fairy Tail members erupted in cheers. The pressure from the Magic Converging Cannon, Jupiter, had been suffocating. But now, with Phantom Lord's headquarters in ruins, that cannon was never getting fired again.

Jose, on the other hand, was furious.

"That damn brat!! Who the hell is he?! How did he... destroy my guild?!"

This headquarters had cost him a fortune to build.

"Fairy Tail! I will make sure you all suffer before you die!!!"

But the moment he finished speaking, his rage froze in his throat.

"Buzz—!!"

Kitaro raised his hand. A massive energy sphere—dozens of meters wide—formed in his palm, glowing with raw destructive force.

"Whaaaat—?!"

"That's HUGE!!"

"No!! It's way too big!!"

Fairy Tail members stared, dumbfounded.

Was this even humanly possible?!

That magic sphere was several times bigger than the Magic Converging Cannon itself!

Kitaro smirked. "It's only polite to return the favor! Try this on for size—Massive Giant Rasengan!"

With a flick of his wrist, he launched the colossal energy sphere straight at Phantom Lord's remains.

Their ghostly soldiers surged forward to block the attack. But the moment they touched the Rasengan, they were instantly vaporized.

BOOOOOOOM—!!!

A deafening explosion rocked the battlefield as the Super Giant Rasengan detonated.

The already fractured Phantom Lord headquarters collapsed completely, its walls and floors shredded into oblivion.

"Waaahhh!!!"

"Nooo!!!"

Many Phantom Lord members had already tried to escape, but they couldn't outrun the blast. One by one, they were caught in the explosion and sent flying, screaming in terror.

As the dust settled, Fairy Tail members were left speechless.

Phantom Lord's headquarters was gone.

Nothing remained but rubble and ruins.

"Ph... Phantom Lord..."

"Their headquarters..."

"It's completely destroyed!!!"

Fairy Tail members gasped in shock.

How?!

Kitaro had only used two moves.

Two.

And Phantom Lord's once-mighty HQ was reduced to nothing.

Earlier, when Phantom Lord appeared with their towering mobile fortress and aimed Jupiter at them, everyone thought Fairy Tail was done for.

Yet now?

Fairy Tail, though damaged, was still standing.

And Phantom Lord, who had made such a grand entrance?

They were now nothing but a pile of rubble.

"Fifteen minutes, huh..."

Now they finally understood what Kitaro had meant earlier.

Fifteen minutes?

Please. Phantom Lord's HQ didn't even last five.

Too strong.

Way too strong.

They had heard Natsu and the others talk about how powerful Kitaro was before.

But hearing about it and seeing it in action were two completely different things.

Back when he first joined, they had seen his strength.

But now?

They realized—he hadn't even been trying back then.
