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.

The Diabolos trio decide to target the White Wizard for Mercphobia's power, capturing Natsu's team and injuring Mercphobia. Lucy Heartfilia, Happy and Carla escape and encounter Brandish μ, who, like Lucy, is searching Guiltina for Aquarius's key. With Brandish's help, Fairy Tail forces Diabolos into retreat. Shortly afterward, Mercphobia loses self-control and transforms into a dragon, mindlessly attacking Ermina and overwhelming Natsu's team. 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.
"Reiss, the Spirit Dragon"[a] (霊龍のレイス, Reiryū no Reisu)
"Rumble in Drasil" (混戦のドラシール, Konsen no Dorashīru)
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.

"God Seeds" (ゴッドシード, Goddo Shīdo)
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 Aldoron confronts Natsu through his own God Seed avatar.

Aldoron's avatar 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.

"Sword Saint" (剣聖, Kensei)
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 the latter to do the same for the rest of the transformed wizards. Yoko is dispatched 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.
Lucy and Gray defeat Mimi and Hakune, respectively, while Suzaku injures Selene with magic gained from her son Kurunugi, a dragon slain by Diabolos's master, Georg Reizen. 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. Wendy and Laxus duel Haku and Kirin, respectively, with Irene assisting Wendy in defeating Haku; meanwhile, Natsu, Erza, and Lucy are faced with Suzaku, Misaki, and Kiria after being separated.

Forming a truce against Ignia, Natsu and Suzaku follow him to the base of the labyrinth, where they witness him destroying the heart and gravely injuring Selene in a duel. The heart's destruction revives Dogramag, who had stored his own life force within the heart to fake his own death as part of an unknown plan with Ignia. Before leaving, Ignia permits Dogramag to kill everyone in the labyrinth except for Natsu, whom Dogramag challenges to battle.

Hindered by the lacrima's resonance with the soul, Laxus removes his implant to defeat Kirin. 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.

Before Natsu's team returns to Magnolia, Elefseria and Selene reveal the existence of Athena, a weapon created by Elefseria's pupil, which is capable of killing Ignia and the other remaining Dragon God, Viernes. Back on Ishgal, Natsu's team and Jellal learn from Saber Tooth member Sorano Agria that Athena is the mechanical White Wizard whom Faris impersonated, as well as a member of Gold Owl. Joined by Jellal and members of Saber Tooth, Natsu's team travels to the city of Filan on Guiltina, where Natsu's friends are captured by locals under Gold Owl's orders.

Natsu's team, Jellal, and Athena return to Gold Owl to recover Wendy's magic, but are lured into a battle against Gold Owl's members, including Athena II, an emotionless version of Athena imbued with Wendy and Rogue's power.
