Fairy Tail's 100 Year Quest the sequel introduced a host of new characters to the mix, which expanded even further Fairy tail already an extensive list of characters. Perhaps the most intriguing of these characters is the lineup of new antagonists that will take center stage throughout the 100-year quest. However, one antagonist has already been named the strongest – Igniya, the Fire Dragon God.

Appearing at the beginning of the sequel and seeing his burning fire, Igniya has already established himself as the strongest of the five dragon gods of Giltina. Igniya had already been touted as the last Dragon God that Team Natsu would need to seal away, though Natsu still had a long way to go before he could hope to rival Igniya's godlike power.

Who is Ignia?

The God of the Fire Dragon Giltina

Ignia was introduced in Fairy Tail's 100 Year Quest continued with the remaining five Dragon Gods, the last remaining dragons who fled to Giltina 400 years ago during the Dragon King Festival. While the Dragon Gods were initially weaker than Acnologia, each of the dragons eventually surpassed the Black Dragon in both strength and prestige. Igniya is part of this exalted group of dragons, called the Fire Dragon God.

About 400 years ago, we escaped from Acnologia and came to Giltina.

However, Igniya is not just the Dragon God he is associated with Fairy tail the titular character is much deeper. The Fire Dragon God was revealed to be the flesh and blood of the Fire Dragon King Ignil. This relationship sees Ignia as Natsu Dragneel's brother, further creating a rift between the two characters as Igneel raised Natsu as his own son.

Ironically, the real reason for Igniya's rivalry with Natsu has little to do with their peculiar family bond. Instead, Igniya wishes to fight the man who defeated the Black Dragon Acnologia. Igniya's goal was to kill the Black Dragon himself, but with Acnologia gone, his next goal is to fight Natsu in hopes of finally finding a worthy opponent. Igniya's character is one of many mysteries, although he certainly boasts the characteristic arrogance and selfishness of a true antagonist.

The power of the fire dragon god

The scariest dragon in Fairy Tail

Although he has only made a few appearances in the anime and manga thus far, the reason for Igniya's status as the Dragon King has long been established. Igniya's searing hot flames can evaporate seas and oceans, making his flame the only one resistant to the power of water magic. This became evident after Natsu absorbed the bright red flames of the Igniya, resulting in him gaining unprecedented power that even nullified the Water Dragon God's magic.

His magical abilities were touted to be stronger than the Fire Dragon King Igneel and the Black Dragon Acnologia, making him the strongest Dragon in Fairy tail. While the true extent of his power has yet to be fully revealed, the small glimpses and rumors of his godly power are enough to establish him as the most powerful character in the 100 Year Quest.

Ignia's magic and abilities

Igniya's magical power pushed the ceiling of Fairy Tail's power to new heights, as no character in the series had ever displayed such immense magical prowess. Although the true extent of his draconic powers has yet to be revealed, the few abilities he has used so far are enough to paint a picture of his divine power.

Ignia possesses Magic Dragon Slayer Magic, the same form of magic that Igneel and Natsu possess. However, the latter's skill in Magic Fire Dragon Slayer pales in comparison to that of Ignia. With his presence alone, Igniya is able to raise pillars of flame from the ground, while the sky becomes dark with his crimson flames and clouds of ash.

Let's have a battle that can burn us with excitement.

His strongest spell so far is Fire Dragon Roar, the signature spell of every Dragon Slayer Magic user. However, Igniya's roar is considered the strongest of all, as no one can resist its hellish flames. His residual flame through Natsu was able to destroy Mercophobia in his Dragon form.

The strongest guild master

Igniya's godly power is further confirmed by his status as the guild master of the dark guild known as Flame and Fire. The guild is made up entirely of various fire magic users, with each member identifying as an apprentice of Ignia. As a dark guild, Flame and Fire is responsible for all kinds of unspeakable crimes in Giltin.

Of all the members of this dark guild, Igniya is the most destructive of them all. He is infamous for the chaos and destruction that follows in his wake, as he ravaged several countries on the Giltyn continent. Being a guild master in such a formidable guild is another sign of Ignia's unparalleled power in Fairy Tail's 100 Year Quest continuation
