| Natsu Dragneel's team embarks on the 100 Years Quest issued by the Magia Dragon guild on the northern continent of Guiltina. The guild's master, a formerly human Dragon Slayer named Elefseria, instructs the team to subdue the Five Dragon Gods, a group of dragons who are each rumored to rival Acnologia in power. The team travels to the city of Ermina in search of Mercphobia, the Water Dragon God, who is also being hunted by a trio of Dragon Eaters from the guild Diabolos – Kiria, Madmole, and Skullion Raider – who intend to steal Mercphobia's magic by devouring him. Mercphobia appears in a humanoid form to end the guilds' fighting, revealing that a century-old witch called the White Wizard has already stolen much of his power, which he requests Natsu's team to recover before he loses control of his remaining magic. Meanwhile, Fairy Tail recruits a new member named Touka, whom Jellal Fernandes suspects is the White Wizard. |||||

Meanwhile, Jellal accuses Touka of being the White Wizard, but Laxus Dreyar defends her. When Fairy Tail begins to question Touka's background, the White Wizard reveals herself to be possessing Touka and attacks Jellal for his interference, only to be suppressed by Touka, who is captured by Gajeel Redfox. During an interrogation, Touka reveals that she joined Fairy Tail to seek Wendy Marvell's help in separating the White Wizard from her. However, the White Wizard takes over again and steals Fairy Tail and Jellal's magic. |||||

| Natsu is rescued from Mercphobia by Ignia, the Fire Dragon God and Igneel's biological son. Intending to strengthen Natsu for a future confrontation, Ignia spreads his flames and coaxes Natsu into eating them before flying away. The flames imbue Natsu with enough power to defeat Mercphobia, but also nearly send Natsu on a rampage until Lucy calms him down. Mercphobia regains his senses and finds himself rendered powerless, which fulfills part of Fairy Tail's mission. Out of gratitude, Mercphobia directs Fairy Tail to the city of Drasil to find Aldoron, the Wood Dragon God. En route, they visit a guild of Fairy Tail doppelgängers called Fairy Nail, with one of its members, a doppelgänger of Juvia Lockser, encouraging Gray Fullbuster to be more forward in his love for Juvia. Upon reaching Drasil, the team reunites with Juvia, who has escaped from the White Wizard and warns them about her shortly before they discover the town to be built atop the gargantuan Aldoron's right hand. |||||

| While exploring Drasil, Natsu's team encounters their guildmates and Jellal, who have been brainwashed by the White Wizard. Seeking to control Aldoron, the White Wizard sends the brainwashed wizards across the sleeping dragon's body to destroy five orbs that maintain his power, destroying the orb on Aldoron's right hand; Juvia, whom Touka has freed from the White Wizard's control, warns her friends of the plan. Natsu's team splits up to protect the remaining orbs, defeating several of their friends to have Wendy return them to normal. On Aldoron's right shoulder, Wendy finds several Fairy Tail members already incapacitated by Nebaru, a Dragon Eater from Diabolos, whose members are also in Drasil to destroy the orbs so they may eat Aldoron for themselves. Kiria interjects during a confrontation between Erza Scarlet, Jellal, and Laxus on Aldoron's left hand, while another Dragon Eater, a spirit named Wraith, defeats Natsu and steals his soul. |||||

| Natsu has a near-death experience in which he reunites with the deceased Zeref Dragneel, Mavis Vermillion, their sons August and Larcade Dragneel, and Igneel. Receiving their guidance, Natsu turns his soul into a thought projection to battle the incorporeal Wraith. Wraith possesses Makarov Dreyar to overpower Natsu, but surrenders and ascends to the afterlife upon regaining his lost memories as Makarov's friend from Fairy Tail. When Nebaru destroys the orb on Aldoron's right shoulder, Natsu and Happy fly towards the orb on the dragon's backside and meet Touka, who reveals herself to be an Exceed possessed by the human White Wizard, before the White Wizard takes control again. Meanwhile, Lucy recruits Cana Alberona – whom she discovers is drunk rather than brainwashed – to seal their defeated friends within her cards, while Erza captures Jellal and duels Laxus to a draw, which allows Kiria to destroy the orb on Aldoron's left hand. |||||

| Happy helps Natsu escape from the White Wizard by immobilizing her with one of the orbs, which he realizes she cannot touch. Nebaru ignores his orders to retreat and activates his Dragon Force, which rapidly transforms him into a dragon. Enchanting herself with Irene Belserion's residual power to fight back, Wendy unwittingly awakens a mental copy of Irene herself, who returns Nebaru to normal by separating his magic power from him. Mest Gryder destroys the remaining orbs, but instead of losing power, Aldoron absorbs the willing townsfolk into his body and awakens at full strength. The White Wizard – who realizes that Selene, the Moon Dragon God, has deceived her about the orbs – loses her own magic and her control over the wizards, allowing Wendy to separate her from Touka. Aldoron sprouts a God Seed legion named Wolfen that transforms into powerful figures from people's memories. When Natsu tricks one Wolfen into transforming into Zeref to kill Aldoron with Zeref's curse, the legion is replaced with three other God Seeds – Metro, Gears, and Doom – while Natsu is confronted by the God Seed embodiment of Aldoron himself. |||||

| Aldoron is gradually weakened as the other God Seeds are destroyed by the wizards: several of Fairy Tail's lesser members defeat Doom after receiving enchantments from Wendy, saving her and Carla from Doom's life-draining spores; Metro's attempt to absorb Juvia's watery form backfires when Gray confesses his feelings to her and turns her into ice, which he uses to defeat Metro; and Jellal overcomes Gears' power of mental blockage with the help of Ultear Milkovich's phantom, allowing him to accept his own feelings for Erza. Meanwhile, the visiting Brandish briefly turns Gajeel into a giant large enough to battle Aldoron's dragon form, further weakening him. Eventually, Natsu gains an advantage over Aldoron's inflammable body and destroys his avatar, which kills Aldoron. Over the next three days, Natsu's team celebrates their reunion with their friends in the neighboring city of Dramil while waiting for Touka and the White Wizard to recover from their separation. |||||

| Touka and the White Wizard are revealed to be denizens of Elentear, a parallel world that suffers from an overabundance of magic. The White Wizard casts Touka's teleportation magic on Natsu's team to bring them to Elentear, but accidentally sends them and herself to Edolas instead. While trapped without the use of their magic, the group reunites with their acquaintances and counterparts from Edolas – meeting the children that Natsu and Gray's counterparts have had with Lucy and Juvia's counterparts, respectively – before Touka receives a spare X-Ball from Mystogan that restores her magic. Humbled by her mistakes, the White Wizard identifies herself as an imposter named Faris, a guardian shrine maiden of Elentear whom Selene forced into hunting the Five Dragon Gods under the threat of Elentear's destruction. Selene suddenly appears and sends the group to Elentear, where they are separated by a giant hand from under the world's surface. Despite their magic's enhancement in this world, Natsu's team is defeated by Selene's minions, the Moonlight Divinities. |||||

| Holding Natsu and Gray captive for her own entertainment, Selene sends them to the caves of her mountain lair to battle a horde of yōkai, including their own teammates transformed by Yoko, one of the Moonlight Divinities. Aquarius summons herself through Lucy's enhanced magic, restores Lucy's memories, and tricks Wendy into undoing her own transformation, allowing Wendy to do the same for the rest of the transformed wizards. Selene dispatches Yoko to battle the team with her infinite yōkai, but Erza defeats Yoko and dispels the horde. Meanwhile, the chief shrine maiden of Faris's village magically summons Suzaku, one of Diabolos's elite Dark Dragon Slayer Knights, to kill Selene. Suzaku encounters Fairy Tail as they escape Selene's mountain and attacks them to avenge his guild, injuring Natsu and Erza. Selene appears before the wizards and duels Suzaku, while the other two Moonlight Divinities, Hakune and Mimi, pursue Fairy Tail to Faris's village. |||||

Natsu and Erza recover, but fail to stop Selene from fleeing Elentear with Suzaku in pursuit. Elentear becomes overrun with the giant hands of Alta Face, an underground monster provoked by Selene into causing the world's magic crisis. Natsu's team destroys Alta Face, allowing Faris and her fellow shrine maidens to vanquish its hands. With Elentear saved, the wizards forgive Faris and return to Earthland. Meanwhile, Suzaku brings a captive Selene to Georg, whom she effortlessly kills after breaking free, having feigned defeat to avenge Kurunugi's death. |||||

With Natsu's team visiting Elefseria for further information on their quest, Selene pits them, Gajeel, and Laxus against Diabolos's strongest members in a contest to find the heart.

Meanwhile, Selene persuades Fairy Tail to help her defeat Dogramag by destroying magical cores scattered across the labyrinth, which make him impervious to Natsu and Suzaku's attacks. Gray and Gajeel prevent two of the cores from being stolen by Sai and a seemingly resurrected God Serena from the alchemist guild Gold Owl. After the cores are destroyed, Natsu performs a Unison Raid with Suzaku that kills Dogramag. |||||

| Jellal leaves for Ishgal after telling Erza his intention to join Fairy Tail. At a saloon, Natsu's team encounters Brian, a fire-eating member of Fire and Flame, which the team learns is a dark guild of fire wizards led by Ignia. Upon realizing Natsu's identity, Brian captures him with the assistance of his guildmates, illusionist Raj and Fire Make wizard Lecka. Meanwhile, Erza is challenged by Fire and Flame's second-in-command, the flame swordsman Wed, while Raj traps the rest of Natsu's team in illusory worlds populated by manga characters Nakajima, Griff, and Hien, though they escape and defeat Raj after Happy and Carla break the illusions. Brian brings Natsu to the Fire God's Castle to meet Ignia, who reveals his plan to start a "true" Dragon King Festival and invites Natsu to join Fire and Flame, but is rejected. Their confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of a dark-skinned Faris, who introduces herself as the Black Wizard and declares her own intention to join Ignia's festival. |||||

| The Black Wizard Faris reveals herself to be the Earthland counterpart of Elentear's Faris, empowered by Acnologia's left arm, which Igneel had bitten off. Ignia initiates his plan: using roots created by Dogramag, he produces lacrima crystals that revive Aldoron and Viernes, awaken the Five Dragon Gods' previously suppressed power, drive his fellow dragons berserk, and turn Guiltina's citizens, including Fire and Flame, into dragons. Elefseria gathers Natsu's team to his guild, where they disperse to the Five Dragon Gods' lands to destroy the lacrima. In Ermina, Brandish aids Lucy in destroying Mercphobia's lacrima, which contains Aquarius' key. Brandish allows Lucy to keep the key, reuniting her with Aquarius. At the Fire God's Castle, Natsu defeats Brian while Happy convinces another Fire and Flame member, the fire cat Misfortune, to help Fairy Tail find Ignia, who is pursuing Faris following her escape. Erza arrives at the ruins of Drasil, where she finds that Aldoron has seemingly been slain and his lacrima destroyed by the Oración Sechs, Faris's demonic minions, which include a revived Zero, the Oración Seis's former master. The other five Seis members arrive to confront the Sechs, accompanied by a cloaked sixth figure. |||||
