I remember Mashima said that Fairy Tail is in it's climax during the Japan Expo Interview on July 8th 2016. Also this arc is similar to the Tenrou Island arc so it's easy to figure out how this arc will with Mavis using Fairy Sphere to save the other guild members from Acnologia again. Which lead into a 3 or 4 year timeskip which will allow Mavis to grow up.
