Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Although Jia Long's true form was protected by the Golden Saint Cloth, he was still blasted backward, crashing through more than a dozen pagodas before collapsing helplessly to the ground.

"Pfft~"

Jia Long coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggled to his feet, and looked toward the direction of the Shitian Pagoda.

At this moment, in the aftermath of the collision between A·E and the gods, the Tower Forest was devastated, and even the incomparably divine Tower of Heaven was reduced to dust.

Pandora and Yura, who were fighting in front of the Tower of Deception, were swept into the air by the aftershocks. Pandora dodged into the void, while Yura landed beside Jalong with her body covered in wounds.

Her bronze mask had been shattered, and her bandages were torn apart, revealing her snow-white skin and the brightly colored peacock feathers on her body.

At this moment, Yura's pretty face was full of disbelief.

"Garon, you destroyed Indra?"

"No."

Jia Long shook his head. Although Di Shitian's soul had disappeared from his perception, how could a god be so easily destroyed?

They are all eternal beings.

Even Athena's Exclamation never had a record of killing a god.

It seemed to confirm Jia Long's words.

Before he finished speaking, the once devastated pagoda forest miraculously "rebuilt" itself. Not only did the broken pagodas reappear, but even the flowers, plants, and trees that had been swept away revived and bloomed again...

at the same time.

A boundless divine light suddenly appeared, within which solemn chanting could be faintly heard. Heavenly flowers could be seen falling and golden lotuses could be seen emerging from the ground. Then, a phantom of a man wearing a jeweled crown and adorned with necklaces, riding a six-tusked white elephant, appeared in mid-air.

Under the endless light of Buddha, the man's illusory figure looked solemn and dignified, as if a god or Buddha had descended.

"Humans, the soul is eternal and immortal, but my soul has been sealed for too long and has been in a daze. Thank you for waking me up with Athena's Exclamation, allowing me, Indra, to truly descend into the world."

"Moreover, you also sent me the daughter of the Peacock King, which is very good. I will accept this gift."

"In return, I, the God of the Thirty-Three Heavens and Lord of the Desire Realm, will bestow upon you the blessing of being reborn in the endless Desire Realm..."

Unlike the arrogant and malevolent spirit he was before.

At this moment, Indra seemed untouched by worldly affairs, yet appeared even more powerful and invincible.

As they spoke, Indra had already ridden his six-tusked white elephant toward Jialong. Wherever he passed, space collapsed and turned into a field of golden lotuses.

Indra's flight speed was not fast, but both Jalong and Yura felt that there was nowhere to hide.

The difference between humans and gods was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

You can't kill him.

Run, can't run away.

This feeling is utterly despairing!

"Garon, you're a good person. If you survive, I hope you'll take good care of Shaka for me."

Faced with dire straits, Yura once again ignited her bloodline, her entire body radiating a dazzling five-colored light. At the same time, the Peacock King tattoo on her back seemed to come back to life, causing her cosmic power to surge rapidly...

Just as Yura was about to burn her life force in a desperate fight.

Jia Long placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder, forcibly suppressing the burning power of her bloodline.

"Senior Sister Yura, you haven't fulfilled your promise yet, how can you die here? Besides, I'm not someone who needs a woman to protect me!"

As he spoke, Jia Long ignored Yura's resistance and forcibly pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he raised his other arm high and opened the other-dimensional space again.

"It's no use. Before the gods, any human resistance is futile. In this world, only the gods can stand against them."

Seeing Jia Long resort to his old tricks again, Di Shitian shook his head and chuckled. He rode his six-tusked white elephant into the other dimension, golden lotuses blooming all the way as if they were nothing, and he arrived directly in front of Jia Long.

“Back then, that bald monk said that all beings in the world suffer, so I created a realm with my divine soul, which I call Desire! Those who enter my Desire Realm Buddha Land will have no suffering, only ultimate bliss!”

Indra sat high atop a white elephant, one hand held in front of his chest, the other slowly extended towards Jia Long:

"Today, you have helped me awaken, and I bestow upon you supreme bliss..."

As Indra opened his palm, a strange world appeared in his palm. Jia Long could vaguely see many ant-like figures in it, just like the legendary Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand.

"Humans, go forth and be reborn in the endless realm of desire!"

Chapter 137 Conferred Godhood! Jia Long's True Trump Card

In Buddhist legends, the world is actually composed of two worlds: the Desire Realm and the Desireless Realm.

This refers to the concepts of form and emptiness.

There are many discussions about form and emptiness. The Buddhas pursued emptiness, while Indra, as a deity, although he served as a protector of Buddhism, pursued form, which is the opposite of emptiness.

The Desire Realm he created is also a world full of the seven emotions and six desires.

At this moment, as the Buddha Kingdom appeared in Indra's palm, the entire other-dimensional space was filled with a mesmerizing radiance, as if an irresistible power was calling out from the darkness, as if it wanted to encompass all things within it.

"It's now!"

Faced with Indra's all-encompassing attack, Jia Long was not alarmed but delighted; this was exactly the moment he had been waiting for.

"The Realm of Time and Space~"

As Jalong summoned it, the ancient Mirror of Time appeared, blocking his and Yura's path. At the same time, Jalong let out a loud roar:

"Come forth, Thanatos!"

As if responding to Jia Long's summons, the Mirror of Time and Space emitted a dazzling light. In an instant, an endless aura of death surged forth, and the image of Thanatos, carrying overwhelming divine power, broke through the mirror, just in time to meet the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of Indra's hand.

Death has arrived!

Moreover, it was attacked as soon as it appeared, and the mirror image of Thanatos immediately pounced on Indra.

A servant god versus a wild god!

Faced with the overwhelming Grim Reaper of the Underworld, Indra no longer possessed the superiority he had shown when facing Jia Long; instead, his face was filled with fear and astonishment.

"Danadus, what are you doing here?"

However, the only response to Indra was an extremely domineering attack.

"Terrible destiny!"

As Thanatos made his move, an overwhelming will to die appeared. Before this divine power that made heaven and earth tremble, the Lord of Desire Realm and the six-tusked white elephant were all swept away by the power that annihilated everything.

Boom~

The power of death was so great that even Indra could not withstand it. In a single blow, the difference between gods was fully revealed. Under the crushing force of the supremely terrifying destiny, Indra's soul shattered, and he didn't even have time to retract the Desire Realm Buddha Kingdom in his palm.

And this time.

Thanatos, who had just defeated Indra's mirror image, also turned his attention to Jia Long and his companion hiding behind the Mirror of Time.

"Dimensional space, collect!"

Of course, Jia Long dared not face Death. With a thought, he withdrew the manifested dimensional space. In an instant, the mirror image of Death and the mirror of time and space both vanished.

Within the other-dimensional space, only the Desire Realm Buddha Kingdom, suspended in the air, and countless shattered divine souls flying everywhere remained.

"exile!"

Seeing that the shattered divine souls seemed to be re-coalescing, Jia Long quickly took out the crystal coffin that had previously sealed the two gods, mobilized the power of space, and banished all the divine souls in the sky into the crystal coffin.

The divine image was used to defeat the soul of Indra.

It was sealed away again in a crystal coffin.

Jia Long executed this maneuver with effortless grace, as if it had been planned countless times.

In fact, he did indeed perform countless simulations.

This is Jia Long's true trump card in daring to face Di Shitian. Otherwise, given his cautious nature, why would he be so foolish as to come and confront a god head-on?

It's all because of the existence of the Mirror of Time!

Ever since he manifested dimensional space, this mirror has been hidden in the deepest part of that space, but Jalon has never used it in reality.

After all, the Mirror of Time only has the function of summoning mirror images, and the summoned mirror images cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

He might be the first one to be attacked.

Unless absolutely necessary, Jia Long really didn't want to use these dangerous mirror images.

It wasn't until he had to face Indra that he considered using the Mirror of Time in reality, since it was the only means he could use to fight against the gods.

Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good; it shattered Indra's soul on the first use.

However, although Indra was shattered into fragments of his soul, he did not truly perish, and the Buddhist kingdom of the Desire Realm he created still exists.

Under the irresistible call of that great power, Jia Long felt as if his soul was out of control, about to break free of his body and fly towards the other party's strange Buddhist kingdom.

Even with his cosmos burning at full power, he could only temporarily suppress the possibility of his and Yura's souls leaving his body.

Therefore, Jia Long dared not delay for even a moment. He had to seal the soul of Emperor Shitian as quickly as possible and then quickly take Yura and run away from here.

However, just as Jia Long was using his exile ability to absorb the soul of Indra.

Mutations reborn!

With a ripple in the interdimensional space, Pandora, who had not shown herself until now, suddenly appeared. She traversed the void and raised her halberd of calamity to stab at Jalong.

"You despicable, shameless, and vile bastard, prepare to die!"

It must be said that Pandora chose her opportunity very well. At this moment, Jalong was protecting Yura with his left hand and holding the Crystal Coffin with his right hand, while using his spatial abilities to store the soul of Indra.

At this moment, Jalong was completely immobilized. Faced with Pandora's clearly premeditated attack, he only had two choices:

Either give up on Yura.

Either give up the crystal coffin.

Only in this way could he free up his hands to deal with Pandora's sneak attack.

However, Jia Long could not abandon any of them.

If Yura is abandoned, her soul will inevitably be swept away by the Buddha realm of desire.

If we abandon the crystal coffin, Indra's soul will resurface, rendering all our previous efforts futile and alerting Indra. It will then be much more difficult to get him to enter the dimensional space and seal him away.

Caught in a dilemma, Jia Long gritted his teeth and decided to confront Pandora's halberd head-on with his body.
