Ooh dear. If Laxus' Fairy Law had actually worked, it'd be a Pyrrhic victory and defeat for him.

1. He may have won the battle for control of Fairy Tail but he had become a international criminal in the eyes of Fiore and the Magic Council over the intentional murder of the entire town and his own Guild. Not even Dark Guilds would let him join them out of fear for his Fairy Law depending on their reactions.

2. Murder of a fellow Wizard Saint who happens to be Makarov would guarantee divine retribution from the Four Gods of Ishgar (God Serena still part of the Saints and decides to take responsibility to bring justice while Hyberion is disappointed in Laxus and Warrod so very upset that Yury's descendant had crossed the line with a unstoppable rage that even a grumpy Wolfheim is impressed) Heck even Jura will be willing to kill him.

3. Even if Laxus intends to rebuild Fairy Tail from the ground up, he'd be put down quickly by the whole might of Fiore with all Mages outright refusing his invitations and turn on him at his weakened state. Even the civilians can overpower him with torches and pitchforks.

4. At death penalty carried out with execution, Laxus will be made as an example to all Guilds if any of their strongest members would attempt such a power grab at the great costs of the innocents and their comrades.

5. After Laxus' death, the Dreyar name will probably forever be tainted and be further dragged through the mud if Ivan mucks it up further which might get him killed too and the name will be history.
