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

"Rhadamanthus, stop your violence!"

As soon as Shangqing, one of the Three Pure Ones of Jade Void, and Xuanwu, one of the Four Saints of Biyou, moved, they rushed forward to stop Rhadamanthus, who was wreaking havoc.

However, before the two could get close to Radamanthys, a blazing black flame descended from the sky and burned towards Shangqing. At the same time, a valiant female Specter emerged from the shadows on the ground and slammed her fist down on Xuanwu.

"Shangqing, your opponent is Huihuo, the Bennu Bird of the Heavenly Violent Star!"

"Black Tortoise, let me, Beowulf's Violet, the Lone Star of Heaven, smash your shell!"

The two strongest Celestial Warriors, Tianbaoxing and Tianguxing, immediately stopped them. Meanwhile, Tiankuxing Balendane, known as the Twin Wings of the Fierce Dragon, and Tianjiexing Xilufeidu led a group of Specters to attack the remaining Celestial Warriors.

"Mao Ri Ji and Kui Mu Lang, what are you two doing?"

"What are we doing? Of course, we're obeying the orders of our great father, Lord Minos of Tiangui Star, to kill you all! Prepare to die! Immortal warriors of the Dao Domain! Five Fires and Seven Birds Wind (Yellow Robe Covering the Sky)!"

"?!"

Unfortunately, chaos erupted within the Celestial Warriors at this critical moment. The two most powerful young Celestial Warriors, Subaru and Kui Mulang, betrayed the group simultaneously, launching a fierce attack on their own side, catching the Celestial Warriors completely off guard.

By the time the immortal warriors reacted, the two had already created chaos.

"Haha, you've started fighting yourselves. Well then, let me, Lord Charon, the ferryman of the Styx River, guide you to sink into the Styx!"

At this moment, Hades' army seized the opportunity to attack, instantly slaughtering the Celestial Warriors and leaving them with corpses strewn across the battlefield. They quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage.

It even turned into a one-sided massacre.

no way.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. The ones who came to attack the Demon Suppression Tower this time were all the famous Heavenly Gang Demon Stars. Any one of them alone would be a huge headache, let alone the fact that they were working together.

The battle was coming to an end in just a few minutes.

At this moment, Pandora, dressed in a black dress like a proud queen, appeared on the battlefield. Beside her, besides the Earth Beast Star Cheshire, was a middle-aged man with a very strange aura.

In his thirties.

His beard was unkempt.

He had a nonchalant, cynical look on his face.

He was dressed in a burgundy suit that didn't suit his appearance at all, with a top hat tilted to one side and an exquisite pocket watch in his hand, making him look like a magician who had just stepped out of a circus.

"Mephisto, the Celestial Star, why are you so keen on taking in children for Minos?"

“There’s no other way. Minos risked his life to sneak back into the Demon Suppression Tower to rescue my wife, so naturally I have to find a way to repay him. But Minos doesn’t like women, so after thinking it over, I think the best way to repay him is to use my Dark Drops to help him have a few more children.”

"Mephisto, you never consider other people's feelings when you do things..."

"Pandora, are you still holding a grudge about what happened 200 years ago? Fine, I'll repay you for what you did for me. Let me think about it. Hmm, you also need to help me rescue the woman. Or I can find you a man instead."

"Hmph, I don't need your interference! You should be thinking about how to face Patita of the Night Owl of the Heavenly Star!"

"If I knew how to face her, would I need your help to save her?"

Muttering to himself, Mephisto followed Pandora up to the altar of the Demon Tower. Rhadamanthus and the other demon stars were already waiting for Pandora's arrival at the altar.

"Lady Pandora, the enemies guarding the Demon Suppression Tower have been defeated by us. Except for a few escapees, all the immortal warriors from the Jade Void and Azure Wanderer factions below the rank of Taiqing and Xuanwu have been annihilated!"

"Well, forget about those who are fleeing. The Jiuli tribe on the outskirts will hunt them down. The most important thing right now is to break into the Demon Suppression Tower and rescue Oneiros, Partita, and all the demon stars of our Underworld before the Yin Gods of the Prison can react!"

Pandora nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the middle-aged man to the side:

"Mephisto, the Celestial Star, it's your turn to make a move."

"clear."

Mephistopheles, the Celestial Star, casually removed his top hat and said:

"The so-called entrance to the Demon Suppression Tower is nothing more than a specific spacetime rift. For me, the spacetime traveler Mephisto, finding and opening this rift is far too easy."

Seeing this, Pandora couldn't help but remind her, "Don't let your guard down. The Demon Suppression Tower connects the human world, the underworld, and the abyss. You, Mephisto, should know very well how terrifying the gaze of the abyss is. We only want to enter the Demon Suppression Tower, not to cause trouble!"

"Don't worry, I wouldn't joke about my wife's life."

Mephistopheles shrugged, standing on the altar with a dark gold pocket watch in his hand. As the watch's indicator swayed, a smile quickly spread across his face.

"Found it! Appear, magical space!"

As Mephistopheles lightly tapped the pocket watch with his fingertip, spacetime distorted instantly, and a phantom image of an alternate dimension vortex slowly formed.

“Pandora, I have fulfilled my promise. As long as you take my pocket watch into the Demon Suppression Tower, you can open the magical space and leave at any time.”

After finishing his sentence, Mephistopheles handed the pocket watch to Pandora, a rare serious expression on his face: "I hope you will keep your promise and help me rescue Partita's soul."

"Are you sure you don't want to go?"

"No, she'll kill me if I go."

Mephistopheles shook his head repeatedly, then turned his gaze leisurely to the west:

"I will go to the Sanctuary to find a way to help her break free of the curse and restore her divine status. By the way, I also want to see our 'son,' the Pegasus of this generation. I'm sure the person who inherits the Pegasus Cloth will be a handsome guy like me!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. If possible, I really want to hear him call me 'Dad'..."

Filled with longing, Mephistopheles turned to Pandora and once again instructed her:

"The reincarnated body that resonates with Partita's soul is currently inside the Demon Suppression Tower. I have already instructed Minos to give her the precious Star Puppet to save her life. This body is one I painstakingly found for Partita. If you encounter her, please deliver her to Partita..."

"By the way, her name is Weaver Girl, and she is the successor of Wei Yueyan in this generation of the Dao Domain."

"Alright, Pandora, I've got everything covered. Don't worry, I, Mephisto, am a son of God, and I'll definitely repay you a huge favor someday! Even if it means dealing with those two..."

As they spoke, Mephisto, the Celestial Star, beckoned, and a white winged mythical beast flew out from within space and time. Mephisto mounted the horse, waved his top hat at Pandora and the others, and then rode off into the distant horizon.

"Has this reckless guy finally come to his senses?"

Watching Tiankui Star's departing figure, Pandora shook her head slightly, then withdrew her gaze, stretched out her fair hand, and the Calamity Halberd, shrouded in demonic light, was already in her grasp.

With a flourish of her impressive figure, she pointed her halberd at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Tower: "Demon Stars, the great revival of the Underworld is just around the corner. Come with me to witness this glorious moment!"

Chapter 242 Mu Luan! Shaka doesn't have to die.

The entrance to the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower is located inside the Death Forest.

After finding the time-space passage, Jia Long didn't hesitate to throw off his cloak and walk in. Behind him, Chang'e looked at Jia Long's tall and straight back, her deep, pool-like eyes flickering slightly.

"A hundred of us might not be a match, but if there were only one of us, I would never be in such a sorry state... Wait, what am I thinking?"

Blushing and shaking her head, Chang'e quickly banished the jumbled thoughts from her mind and followed Jia Long's retreating figure into the time-space tunnel.

The third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

To Jia Long and his companion's surprise, this third level was completely different from the ghostly realm of the first two levels. Instead, it was a place full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, making them feel as if they had arrived at the legendary Pure Land of Bliss.

"This flower is..."

Amidst the profusion of flowers, Jia Long's gaze was immediately drawn to a particular black flower.

This flower is only the size of a palm, beautiful and serene. When it blooms, its slender petals droop together, like an open phoenix tail. The stamens are crystal clear and delicate, and each fruit, about the size of a finger, bears a rich, subtle fragrance that is cool and alluring.

"This flower is called Datura, a flower of the yin, representing death. I have seen it in ancient books. Its fruit is called Mulanzi, a sealing material that has never been seen in the human world."

Chang'e's voice rang out from behind. Although the blush on her face had not faded, her tone had returned to its usual coldness.

"Yes, this is the Mulanzi..."

"I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me without any effort." Jia Long never expected to see the entire mountain covered with Chinese tallow trees as soon as he entered the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower.

"Let's pick a few hundred of them and bring them back to Shaka, so that my troublesome brother-in-law won't come to the underworld looking for them again in the future."

Upon thinking of this, Jia Long immediately called on Chang'e to help him pick the Chinese tallow tree fruit.

"Jia Long, you know how to refine Luanzi? Ancient books say that this is a sealing method used in Buddhist realms."

"I don't know how, but someone does. I can introduce you to them sometime."

"You also know a high-ranking monk from the Buddhist realm? Oh, I forgot you know Zen meditation. Legend has it that Zen meditation can help people understand their true nature and create daylight even in a dark room. That's why you said your Zen meditation could break the forbidden techniques of my Heart Moon Fox lineage, right? By the way, I was a little confused at the time. What was the name of your Zen meditation technique again?"

"It's nothing, just a trivial skill."

"A little trick?"

The two were picking wild jujubes when they suddenly heard a loud thunderclap in the distance, shattering the tranquility of this world of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

"Is there a fight going on?"

Jia Long and his companion looked up.

The sounds of battle came from the distant mountains, a mountain range composed of twelve peaks, each with a radiant palace standing faintly on its summit. The twelve palaces were connected end to end, like a winding, undulating dragon.

"Boom~"

The sound originated from the second palace. With another boom, a figure radiating red light shot out and fled in a disheveled manner, leaving a trail of fire in the air as it escaped towards Jia Long and his companion.

"It's Senior Suzaku!"

"Senior Zhuque is the youngest of the Four Saints of Biyou, only in her thirties, but she is the strongest among the four saints. How could she have been beaten so badly?"

As Chang'e watched in astonishment, the Vermilion Bird's figure plummeted towards her like a fallen bird, with an incomparably dazzling purple flame chasing after her.

This purple flame resembled a blooming datura flower, exceptionally beautiful yet incredibly fierce, and even faintly carried a divine radiance within it.

"Morphia's Flame?!"

Jia Long's pupils contracted slightly. If he wasn't mistaken, the purple flame chasing the Vermilion Bird was the unique fighting technique of Nightmare Morpheus, one of the Four Dream Gods.

"The Four Dream Gods have actually broken free from their seal?"

"Something seems wrong. Wasn't it supposed to be just reinforcing the seal?"

The reason Jia Long had the leisure to calmly pick jujubes here was because he knew that the gods sealed in the third layer were different from the demon stars in the first and second layers.

It's roughly equivalent to the difference between a labor camp and a serious criminal.

The Demon Stars are merely imprisoned within the Demon Suppression Tower; they can move freely within a certain range, and can even regain their full power after only about ten years of cultivation.

The gods, on the other hand, had their bodies stripped away, leaving only their souls sealed in the palace on the third level. Not only were they unable to move, but their seals were also reinforced every ten years.

The so-called reinforcement of the seal means to destroy and intercept the divine power they have recovered over the past ten years.

This is the mission of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Sages.

Therefore, the danger on the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower does not come from the gods, but from the vicious competition between Biyou and Yuxu, and from the contest between immortal warriors at the level of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Saints.

After arriving at the third level, Jia Long did not rush to the palace. He wanted to wait until the Three Pure Ones and Four Sages reinforced the seal and left before entering the palaces to drag out the souls and completely destroy them.
