The article contains spoilers from the 100 Years Quest manga.

The “Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest” premiered during the Summer anime schedule in 2024, and its sequel showcases an array of powerful divine beings and magical abilities. Amongst these new characters is a group of dragons known as the Five Dragon Gods, who rule vast territories across the continent of Guiltina. Their might exceeding that of Dragon King Acnologia, these five dragons are fittingly titled Dragon Gods.

In the sequel to the 100 Years Quest, the Five Dragon Gods serve as the main adversaries. Contrary to being simple villains, these deities have complex roles within the story, contributing to peace in Guiltina. Some of the Dragon Gods advocate for peace, while others seek humanity’s destruction, making them the greatest danger facing Fairy Tail in the upcoming narrative.

The Origins of the Five Dragon Gods

The Dragon Gods Were Once Weak Dragons That Fled in Fear

Originally mere dragons living in Ishgar, the Five Dragons were compelled to escape and find sanctuary in Guiltina due to the threat posed by Acnologia. As time passed, they significantly increased in might, surpassing even the power of a Black Dragon. This extraordinary power led them to be known as “Dragon Gods,” symbolizing their enigmatic strength and the deep respect their followers had for them.

The quest is quite simple. There are five “Dragon Gods” in Guiltina. You must seal them away.

In Guiltina, the Five Divine Dragons choose to rest in a slumber-like state. They remain dormant unless a significant disturbance occurs. This sleep-state is crucial because it prevents the Dragon Gods from engaging in a destructive war among themselves. Although some of these dragons are peaceful, their immense power makes them considered a dangerous threat. As a result, Elefseria embarked on the 100 Years Quest over a century ago to address this potential danger.

Mercphobia

The Pacifist Water Dragon God

In the sequel to the 100 Years Quest, Mercphobia was the first Dragon God unveiled, yet his persona contrasted significantly from the initial expectations. Initially, he was revered as a savior in Ermina; however, Mercphobia is not merely a benevolent deity but also looks after his devotees. Contrarily, his past wasn’t always peaceful, as he once terrorized as a brutal monster during his early years.

1. Currently, only one Dragon God, Mercphobia, has joined forces with Fairy Tail guild, mainly due to their shared perspectives on certain matters. Nevertheless, the increasing might of Mercphobia poses a danger because his Water Dragon Slayer Magic is poised to cause destruction wherever he travels, ultimately flooding any town he settles in.

Aldoron

The Behemoth Wood Dragon God

After a close brush with death at the hands of Acnologia, Aldoron fell into a profound sleep. Over time, his followers constructed the city of Drasil upon fragments of his immense body. However, unbeknownst to many, Aldoron, who appears benevolent, actually drained the life energies from the people of Drasil for his own healing using their mana.

Dragons are the pinnacle of all living things! The thought of conversing with humans is absurd!

In a dismissive manner, Aldoron considered humans insignificant, like common insects, while regarding dragons as the pinnacle of might. He supported his beliefs by demonstrating his remarkable power through his Wood Dragon Slayer Magic, causing destruction in his battles against Natsu. Although Aldoron’s power was eventually contained, the residual effects of his magic were remarkably strong and ultimately resulted in a vast forest growing over his burial site.

Ignia

The Power-Hungry Fire Dragon God

Ignia is known as the Fire Dragon God, a fitting title for the offspring of the Fire Dragon King, Igneel. One of six dragons who escaped to Guiltina, Ignia eventually accumulated enough might to surpass even Acnologia. Power and strength are his fixations, and he strives to vanquish Natsu to assert himself as the most potent being on Earthland.

The power of fire is to burn everything. To burn the world. And live amongst the raging flames!

Ignia’s character seems to straddle moral gray areas, as he has encountered Team Natsu several times, but plans to confront Natsu once he has sealed away all Dragon Gods and grown stronger. Despite the many enigmas surrounding him, it is clear that Ignia harbors a wicked ambition: restoring the era of dragons.

Selene

The Sadistic Moon Dragon God

Selene is another complex character among the Five Dragon Gods’ lineup, as her initial persona of a sadistic killer is merely a facade to maintain peace between the dragons. Her role as the guild master of Diabolos, a guild comprising dragon eaters, is also a ruse to keep Guiltina’s power balance in check.

Regardless, Selene continues to cause havoc and devastation everywhere, with her gravest offense being extorting the White Mage Faris into eradicating Earthland’s magic. Armed with the ability to traverse dimensions, Selene is a formidable adversary that promises to be one of the major hurdles in Fairy Tail’s 100 Years Quest.

Vierres

The Mysterious Gold Dragon God

Scant information is available regarding Vierres’ authentic shape, given that the Dragon God currently manifests as Duke Barbaroa, the head of the Gold Owl faction. This character seeks to dominate other Dragon Gods, intending to rule them as his subjects. His overbearing demeanor stands out most prominently, as he holds himself in high regard, considering himself superior not only to humans but also dragons.

Viere possesses the ability to wield Gold Dragon Slayer Magic, a powerful kind of dragon slayer magic that primarily relies on the concept of purpose for its attacks. Although the full extent of his abilities remains unknown, it’s evident that he matches up with other deities of dragons in terms of power.

Dogramag

The Supposedly-Deceased Earth Dragon God

Originally thought to be five in number, it’s actually six Dragon Deities that sought refuge in Guiltina. Among them, Dogramag stood out as the Earth Dragon God, with a form entirely composed of sturdy rock, possessing the power to manipulate the earth at will.

Over a century past, it was believed that Elefseria vanquished Dogramag, but this victory turned out to be a clever ruse. In truth, the Earth Dragon God had been in a deep slumber and utilized Elefseria’s heart as an agent to sustain his life energy. The deception was unveiled later on. Dogramag aims to resurrect the Era of Dragons, an ambition he holds in common with his trusted ally Ignia.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
