Dragon Slayer VS Dragons VS Acnologia... Vs Gods? 4

"..." I frowned while standing on a huge hill, frowning as to why my control over my mind wasn't as good as it should be. Normally, my dream was under my full control... I didn't create this dream space, this seemed to be someone else dream space. It was filled with dragons, ruling the skies, sea, and the earth.

"You have such high control of your mind, it's impressive." A deep voice came from behind me, causing me to turn to see the Dragon Emperor, walking over towards me.

"What do you want?" I asked in confusion, to which the Dragon Emperor said while sitting next to me and looking at the world before us.

"Where do you think Gods and devils have disappeared to?" He asked to which I frowned, not knowing what he was getting at.

"They exist in another dimension," I said to which the Dragon Emperor nodded with a deep sigh.

"Thousands of years ago, Gods ruled the earth. They were the strongest, doing anything they wished, viewing all lifeforms as lesser than ants... that changed when one day, a god gifted his power to a human, birthing God Slayers. With the tools to combat the gods, that human defeated the gods, gifting the god's power to other humans. That marked the downfall of the gods before they were sealed within another dimension, never to appear in our world. but this was a scheme by the devils, when they tried to make a move on the humans, they didn't expect one of their own to gift humans their power, bringing forth Devil Slayer magic." The Dragon Emperor said lightly.

"As you see, once a slayer's magic falls into the hands of you humans, it marks the downfall of a race. Many other races have fallen over the countless years thanks to slayer magic which came and disappeared, forgotten even by the gods. Angels, Fairies, Griffin, and so many more... although not all of them are dead as some exist out there, you get the point." He said to which I nodded understanding what he was getting at.

"I combated you humans because the birth of dragon slayer magic marked the end of my race. In a matter of months, dozens of thousands of my kind have been slaughtered, and this number would only continue to drop. I had the power to rule the world long ago, but I stayed away from doing so to avoid humans creating such magic. If I went to war with humans, a dragon would gift humans with the means to create Dragon Slayer magic, marking the end of my people." He said with a sigh,

"But now it's all pointless, maybe I should have conquered the world, maybe I should have flown continent to continent, ensuring no dragon grew too arrogant, maybe I shouldn't have rushed to fight the humans out of foolish fear seeing as dragon slayer magic already exists. but it's all meaningless now, for there is a greater danger that needs all races to unite before." He said causing my heart to skip a beat.

"I'm dead, I was used along with other dragons to summon the gods. The gods are powerful, even from another dimension, their might and rule were still felt in this world. They are after you for some reason, from what I understand, your magic is something the gods wish to erase." The Dragon Emperor said causing me to form deeply before I didn't say anything as I looked at the palm he held out to me, glowing with the remains of his magical power.

"I know we are enemies, but I will put my faith in you. Please, don't let my race go extinct, and don't let the gods win. The gods will do everything in their power to regain their rule over the other races, and this time they have the humans to support them." He said to which I looked at his magical power for some time before I placed my hands over it.

"I never plan to slaughter your whole race, I don't even see the point of this war... but worry not, I will do everything in my power to ensure the gods go back to wherever they came from," I said with a breath. The dragon emperor nodded gratefully while his body broke apart, meanwhile, I woke up to find myself lying in bed, Irene sleeping in my arms,

"... Irene," I said softly, unsure if I should wake her up now, or give her some time after last night's special activity. It's been a few days since we tried to have a baby, well we were lucky 2 days ago. In Irene's stomach was a Ryu Jr,

"What is it?" Irene asked making herself at home on my chest, I smiled slightly at this, before snapping back to reality and telling her of my dream. This instantly snapped Irene wide awake,

"Go, inform everyone to be on full guard against the holy light empire. Make sure Samuel is under watch." Irene said realizing that Samuel all this time had been so nice for a reason. I nodded lightly, although I was uneasy keeping her here with Rung running around. I only left once she had Rung arrested, which put me at ease somewhat. I left the empire which was losing its clean smell, rocketing off towards the battlefield with newfound speed.

'The Dragon Emperor Magic is something.' I thought while feeling the powers of the Dragon Emperor's magic fusing with my flames. This greatly increased my flames which were not meant for attacking. I was sure if my flames turned into those curse flames, they would be perfect for attacking, but they would no longer be the Fire of Life but like the Fire Of Death.

There were trade-offs, but I rather have these flames than have those evil flames. In a second, I arrived at the battlefield, and instantly frowned seeing that the soldiers of the Dragnof empire were nowhere to be found, dragons or humans, they were gone.

"Where are the Dragnof army?" I asked while walking towards a soldier, who grew uneasy seeing me. This caused me to frown, it was clear he was hiding something, so I just read his memory, and instantly my face turned dark.

My head snapped towards the Holy Light camp. I blasted over with such speed and power, that everything in my path was destroyed, but I was forced to quickly fly around, dodging Acnologia's breath attack. My eyes narrowed seeing that Acnologia had grown far stronger, his power had truly stepped into the Dragon God tier.

"To think I trusted you, when all this time you were nothing more than a slave to the dragons, a tool used by them to enslave us," Acnologia said angrily, to which my face turned dark.

"Where is the enslavement?" I said angrily, but Acnologia was having none of it, he shot towards me, and I instantly shot towards him where we began trading our blows. All the while Samuel drank from a cup of wine, watching as everything was going to be better than he even planned.

"My lord, we have news from the Dragnof... everything is ready. shall we welcome the gods?" A guard said, to which Samuel stood up, a serious look on his face, and quickly went to welcome the gods they were able to summon down.

"I don't have time for this!" I roared sensing Samuel's smell getting far, I quickly burst Acnologia away, before bursting towards Samuel. But Acnologia, swallowed in rage wouldn't allow me to get far. This enraged me, for so many things were on the line right now.

I opened my mouth, letting out a phoenix cry, sending forth a beam of fire toward Acnologia, who opened his mouth to eat. But moving faster than the beam, I slammed my knee into Acnologia's stomach, sending him rocketing to the ground.

I shot forward, slamming hard into Acnologia's stomach, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. I walked towards his chest, while my hand turned into a huge fire hand, which grabbed Acnologia, and forced him to look right into my eyes. Before I knocked him out, he was just lost, so I wouldn't kill him. I burst into the sky and rocketed towards Samuel at full speed. Samuel sensing me shooting towards him ignored me, as he instead got to one knee,

Just as I neared, I felt the world slowing down, before time came to a stop around me. Thanks to my magic, I was immune to time being stopped, but that didn't matter for the scale the world was frozen on wasn't normal... the whole continent was frozen.

I looked up ahead, and there I saw a giant descending from the heavens... no, he wasn't a giant, he was bigger as just by standing there, his body reached the clouds, and went past it. He had on golden and black armor, long golden hair, with beautiful golden eyes.

"Lord Chronos, I'm pleased to announce that everything has gone well... in fact, it went better than well, for this lost soul helped me greatly," Samuel said in respect, looking at Chronos, this was simply an avatar. Chronos looked at me, growing displeased instantly that I a lesser lifeform dared to move when he didn't allow it.

To punish me, he held out a palm, and before I knew it, his attack had moved through time, hitting me. For a moment, nothing happened, until I was swallowed with unimaginable levels of pain, all of the pain I have ever felt, from my past life to this life all came together, combining and hitting nonstop.

"Oh? Not screaming?" Chronos grew even more displeased, so he used the same move over and over, having me endure that pain over and over, all of it stacked on top of each other. I gritted my teeth, my eyes bleeding from the sheer amount of pain I was withstanding.

What was the worst pain I have endured? The most physical pain I have ever felt was the 8 days I have gone without sleep. Those 8 days, my body and mind were stretched to their limits, that was something I didn't want to endure again... yet I was enduring that plus more.

"A strong one, are you not?" Chronos asked before I burst out in rage, my flames shooting towards him. Chronos moved, wanting to speed up the time of my flames right out of existence, or even put them out by going back in time... but that was pointless, and the flames hit him, causing him to scream in pain as the flames burnt him, slowing burning him out of existence. 

"For someone who likes to inflict pain upon others, you have a scream that sounds like that of a coward," I said coldly, controlling the flames to swallow him fully, burning him slowly out of existence, 

"CANCEL THE SUMMONING!" Chronos screamed, unable to take the pain. Horrified, Samuel quickly had the summoning canceled, but it was too late as that avatar was erased, gone for good.

"Where are Dragnof people?" I asked angrily, to which Samuel stumbled away, watching his god be treated like that, he of course suffered a blow to his faith.

"I put them under arrest, they are still alive. I promise." Samuel said to which I had him lead me to them, but while he led the way, in Guiltina, the 3 main bodies of the gods stood, frowning while sensing the orders sent from the higher-ups.

"The one known as Ryu had grown strong. Sir Chronos ordered us to work together to ensure nothing goes against the plan.." A young beautiful woman with a blindfold covering her face said lightly, to which the other 2 nodded lightly.

This woman was the goddess of space, and although just a lesser god, she was chosen to read the 2 into this world. One should know, that a small fly like the Dragon Emperor wasn't able to allow stronger gods to bypass that barrier, and even then they couldn't stay here for long.

"Sigh, shouldn't we have come like 400 years into the future when the magical energy in the air recovers to a degree more gods can come?" A handsome white-haired man with a lightning mark covering his right eye asked with annoyance. 

"Shut up and follow orders, plus, we are only here to ensure Ryu doesn't grow stronger. One shouldn't be able to take in so many forms of slayer magic." She said lightly while floating into the sky, she looked towards the last member of the group. This was a war god, most numbers of gods out there were gods of war. This one had a bone to pick with Ryu, for Ryu had so easily killed his avatar, and even bathed in its blood.

"Let's go!" She said, opening a portal, which had appeared behind me. I instantly turned to look at that portal, I was currently freeing Erza and the others, they had been arrested and couldn't put up a fight thanks to the crimes that were put on their heads. In the end, they had no choice but to be arrested, knowing they couldn't be killed.

"Return home, I'm going to become a God Slayer," I said stepping into the portal before the 3 gods could, which stunned the three gods at my arrogance, causing their faces to twist in rage feeling disrespected...

Back in Dragnof, Irene frowned while looking at the food she had just eaten. Realizing it was poison, she quickly used her magical energy to protect the child in her womb, before getting up, just for her pupils to shrink seeing Rung had surrounded her with an army. He was indeed locked up, but once again, Irene and I didn't comprehend just how much of a hold the Holy Light Empire held on the nobles...

"It's meaningless to fight back, you were careful to avoid being poisoned, not expecting that the source where the food was coming from was the first thing we targeted." Rung said while Irene's face slowly turned pale at how powerful the poison was. 

"You know high levels of stress would turn you into a dragon, willingly submit, and we wouldn't do anything extra... we wouldn't want that child of yours to be in harm's way." Rung said with a gentle smile, making Irene's eyes grow cold.

Rung ignored her gaze, knowing how kind of a person Irene was, she would not want to put her child in harm's way... and as expected, Irene couldn't bring herself to sacrifice her child to get out of trouble, so she was locked away... not before being humiliated, as she was paraded around the kingdom, branded with a list of crimes against dragons and humans. But even as the crowds cursed her, and threw stones and food at her, Irene didn't blame them, instead she blamed herself. She was so focused on Dragon Slayer magic, that she didn't notice another empire was sinking its claws into her empire. She failed them all, all she could do now was wait. Wait for her knight to return, or Erza to return.

Either one of the two would allow her to deal with the poison, poison which was blessed by the god of poison...

{A/N: Things I don't think I would explain in the story.

1. The gods allowed The Dragon Emperor to speak with MC through the dream, this drew MC away.

2. Acnologia was a pawn they wanted to join the side of the gods, for this to happen, they wanted Acnologia to fight MC and have a long battle where Acnologia would lose. After, Chronos would make his move, killing the sinner known as the MC, and help Acnologia with his heavy injuries by reversing time. But that didn't go as planned.

3. The goal is to get MC out of Dragnof. That went down perfectly thanks to the Dragon Emperor. From there they poisoned Irene. This went perfectly for them as that poison was no simple poison, which would have killed the baby if Irene didn't protect it. Now the gods can not only gain the faith of the humans of Dragnof, but even its dragons. With Irene's name dragged through the mud, and all of the numbers under the control of the Holy Light Empire... well, The Holy Light Empire has won.

4. Igneel is currently injured thanks to an Acnologia sneak attack, but not an injury too seriously thanks to Erza, Levi, and a few others who managed to stop the battle before the battle could grow worse. Igneel is currently getting ready for round two with Acnologia.

I think that's everything important I overlooked explaining to not make this chapter too long, or I don't see myself explaining in the following chapters. Anyway, if you have other questions, you can ask.}
