Ben wants to finish the fight soon because the Ishgar Mages almost arrive. He planned to make them come here around this time, but the war didn't go as he expected. Defeating Alvarez was easy, but defeating Acnologia is very difficult.
If he hasn't defeated Alvarez, then the Mages can fight Alvarez's soldiers while he fights Acnologia. If he has just started fighting Acnologia, then the Mages can clean up the mess in Alvarez. But now the situation is not good because he and Acnologia almost settle their fight.
Rather than helping him, they will be burdens because he needs to be careful with his attacks. Luckily, Ben has briefed Mest who comes here with him. Mest teleports to the Fairy Ship and tells them to stop advancing.
"Now is not a good time to interfere. We will only make things harder for Ben because he can't go all out. So I advise you to fall back and give him room to fight," says Mest.
The other ships are connected virtually to Fairy Ships, so everyone hears what Mest said.
"Hey Mest, where's Ben? And who is that Gold Dragon?" asks Laxus.
"That is Ben," says Mest.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asks the others.
"That Gold Dragon is Ben. He can transform into a Dragon," says Mest.
Everyone is shocked because it's the first time they know this, except for Wendy, Bella, & Carla who knew this already.
"No way! Dragonization!?" says Anna in surprise.
"Hmm? Who are you?" asks Mest confusedly.
"She is my ancestor who traveled from the past through Eclipse Gate. She came to help us face Acnologia," says Lucy.
Mest becomes suspicious instead, so Makarov said, "It's alright, she is trustworthy."
"If Master says so," says Mest.
"Tell me, is it a Dragonization?" asks Anna.
"No, Ben said it's not the effect of Dragonization. He has dealt with the problem of his Dragon Seed, so Dragonization is not possible for him. But by solving that problem, he got the ability to transform into a Dragon freely through magic," says Mest.
"What?! Don't tell me!?" shouts Anna in surprise. The other knowledgeable Mages are also surprised when they hear it.
"Yeah, he used Take Over Magic: Dragon Soul," says Mest.
When they are still surprised, Mest adds, "Ben is a Dragon Slayer who has slew real Dragons. He said their souls got absorbed by him. Dragon Slayers' souls are unique. They have their human soul and a Dragon Soul embedded in their Dragon Seed. The souls of the Dragons they slew enhanced their Dragon Souls. Other Dragon Slayers will get Dragonized faster, but Ben could control it perfectly. Now, he can utilize that Dragon Soul by using Take Over Magic."
Everyone is in disbelief because even the Mage from the past, Anna never thought that it was possible. Well, she never even thought of that possibility. Besides, it's too absurd to thought of because all Dragon Slayers in the past always got Dragonized or died.
Well, it's up to them to believe it because that's really a gist of what Ben did. That wasn't the full explanation, but that was the gist of it. His Take Over Magic will get stronger if he slays Dragons, so he will get even stronger after slaying Acnologia.
"That's that, but what about the Alvarez Empire? We can fight them to end this war soo-," says Gray before Mest cuts him off.
"They have been defeated. Zeref has died along with all his Etherious Demons. Only 6 Spriggans are left alive, but they have been immobilized. No one stood a chance against those 2 nightmares. So the only enemy left is Acnologia," says Mest.
