334. Winner

The spectators of Grand Magic Games are stunned seeing what has just happened. Ben has defeated 6 teams composed of 30 people alone. So he gains 30 points from defeating 6 team Captains and 24 points from defeating 24 team members, giving Fairy Tail B 54 additional points.

It makes people speechless because Fairy Tail B already gets 78 points before. They almost scored perfect points if not for the Pandemonium event where Erza got 1st place by defeating all Monsters by herself. Those 78 points have increased and become 132 points.

Ben now stands alone amidst the defeated Mages in a destroyed area. He grins while looking at a Lacrima vision that hovers above the battleground. It is his message to Fiore's Royal Family to tell them that no one can stop him, it's a threat to them.

The crowd that doesn't know it cheers excitedly after they see such an epic battle. They all know that the defeated Mages aren't weak, but Ben is on a whole different level. Even those who support other Guilds still can't help but get amazed & excited too.

Shortly afterward, the spectators see the other Fairy Tail B members return. They carry their defeated guildmates back with them. Fairy Tail A team has also been defeated by Fairy Tail B members.

The spectators get even more surprised by this because it means Fairy Tail B has wiped out all their opponents. They are also surprised by how fast the team won this round. Well, they even forget that there are other battles because all their focuses were on Ben's battle.

Right now, Mira is carrying Erza on her back, Freed is carrying Gray on his shoulder, Cana is carrying a card that trapped Lucy in it, and Laxus is dragging Natsu & Gajeel on the floor by their feet. They've won their battles and gained 9 more points for the team, so now they have 141 points in total.

"Damn monster, you really defeated them all by yourself," says Laxus while seeing the defeated Mages.

"If I can't even do this, then we will be doomed," says Ben.

They understand what he means because Ben has told them about the Kingdom's intention. That was also the reason they followed Ben's plan. For them, their guild is more important than the Kingdom, after all.

The commentator then announces the end of this tournament with Fairy Tail B's victory. Then the whole Royal Capital celebrates it and fireworks are getting shot. Paramedic also enters the battlefield to treat the injured ones.

The Capital city then makes a big celebration for the result of this year's Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail takes 1st & 2nd place proudly with both of their teams. Their B team even gets 1st place with massive gaps with their competitors.

Fairy Tail B : 141 points

Fairy Tail A : 63 points

Blue Pegasus : 38 points

Mermaid Heel : 37 points

Sabertooth : 30 points

Lamia Scale : 28 points

Scarmiglione : 14 points

Quatro Cerberus : 10 point

Sabertooth that mocked them before this tournament started can't even get on the podium. No one feels bad for them, although Ben feels bad for Lamia Scale. They are quite unlucky to face Fairy Tail a few times and lost, but this is a competition, so victory & defeat are common.

Lamia Scale also accepts this result nicely and no one complains. Though granny Ooba gets pissed when Ben teases her about the result at the celebration. She tries to spin Ben's body using her magic, but she fails because it feels like Ben is very heavy, and it makes Ben teases her again before he runs away from the angry grandma.

Ben goes to the rooftop and gazes at the city while seemingly thinking of something. Jura comes shortly after that and stands beside the sitting Ben. He congratulates Ben on Fairy Tail's victory and says that he will still chase after Ben to get on the same level.

Ben smirks and says, "I will never forbid you to do that, but I also won't stay like this forever. You can get stronger, but I'll also get stronger. I'm a man who's never get satisfied with my achievement, you know.

Jura also smirks and says, "Of course, you aren't. You are the only one I know who has such strong ambitions. And you actually work very hard to reach those ambitions. But I think there's someone with such high ambitions too, and he is also very strong."

"Oho? Who is it?" asks Ben.

"The one who's said to be the strongest in Fiore, God Serena," says Jura.

"The strongest? Well, he's surely the strongest, for now," says Ben while smirking.

"What are you implying?" asks Jura while raising an eyebrow.

"That title will be invalid soon as I will take it from him. But that pussy never accepts my challenges for a reason that it is not worth his time and he was always busy. Hah, as if that unemployed bastard has something to do other than looking at the mirror narcistly," says Ben with a pissed tone.

Jura sweatdrops and says, "We-well, I'm sure you will get a chance to fight him in the future."

"Yeah, I'll make sure it happens. Maybe I will attack the other 3 old men who also called themselves Gods then attack Serena's place. Hehe, it's a good plan," says Ben while smiling sinisterly.

Jura sweatdrops again, but instead of stopping Ben from thinking of doing that, he is more worried about the Gods of Ishgar. He knows what a maniac Ben is and how he will do anything to get what he wants. So Jura just sighs and accompanies Ben drinking their booze.

Then after the celebration party ends, Ben goes to one of his guild's hotel rooms. It's a room beside his family's room. Inside the room, there are some of his guildmates. All the S-Class Mages, Dragon Slayers, Makarov, Mira, Natsu, and Lucy are there.

However, there are 2 Lucy in the room, that's right, 2 same Lucy. But the other Lucy isn't the one from Edolas, it's Lucy from the future. She met Ben yesterday and after confirming that she is really Lucy, Ben took her here.

The future Lucy told them that she came here through the Eclipse Gate. That gate is actually a tool to travel through time, not a colossal weapon like the Princess thought. Princess Hisui thought that it's a weapon with a very great power that can save Fiore in a crisis, but it's not.

That Princess got information that it's a great weapon from someone who also came from the future. That means there is another time traveler besides Lucy. But the Princess also doesn't know that person's identity, so Ben asked Crime Sorciere to find that person.

They haven't gotten any results yet as it seems that person is very good at hiding. Luckily, they have a clue, it's the magic power that the person's emitted. That person & future Lucy emits magic power similar to Zeref's as the effect of using Eclipse Gate.

Ben assumes that the Eclipse Gate was made by Zeref in the past. That's why his magic power remains there and those who use it will have his magic power stuck on their body. But Ben has removed Zeref's magic power from Lucy's body, so Jellal & co won't mistake her as their target.

Ben's method to remove it was quite unusual and usual at the same time. He sucks the magic power around future Lucy using his Slayer's ability to eat elements. The only requirement was he needed to do it under sunlight.

Natsu wanted to help when Ben did that, but Ben forbade him. It's because Zeref's magic power is very dark and can kill someone. Ben doesn't want to take that risk, so he did it himself because he is the strongest in the guild and he has the highest vitality.

Also, he has faced Zeref before and analyzed that guy's magic. So Ben has a deeper understanding of Zeref's magic power and can handle it. Ben is even confident he can face Zeref without getting killed by Ankhseram Curse now.

"Alright, older Lucy, can you tell us what will happen soon? I'm sure you have a strong reason to use Eclipse Gate and return to this time. You weren't well yesterday, that's why I didn't ask too much. But now you need to explain so we all can prepare for it. You must've approached me because you think that I can help you, right?" asks Ben after taking a seat on a chair.

Future Lucy gets silent for a moment as everyone looks at her. She takes a deep breath before she starts talking. "10 thousand Dragons will wreak Havoc in the future and the world will be put in danger."
