Of course, many people still have doubts. Even though fighters are no longer a novelty in the modern world due to the emergence of fighter schools and the promotion of the Iron Cloth, it is still hard to believe that human fighters could defeat gods.
Some even suspect it's special effects.
At this time, official media, experts, and celebrities stepped forward, especially Dr. Asamori, the father of the world-famous Iron Cloth, and the three most popular star fighters in the world's fighting world, Ten no Sora, Tsuchi no Daichi, and Umi no Tsurugi, who all accepted interviews from authoritative reporters.
"Hello everyone, I am Asamori, one of the designers of the Iron Cloth. In my capacity as the chief scientist of the Kido Foundation, the chief expert of the World Fighter Alliance, and a national security advisor for multiple countries around the world, I hereby assure you that all the footage in the documentary 'Sanctuary: Final Destination' is authentic and verifiable..."
"In this documentary, all the shots that everyone thinks are special effects actually come from the power of the fighter's inner universe. In scientific terms, the inner universe is equivalent to the fusion and fission reaction of atoms in the human body. You can imagine that if the power of a nuclear bomb were to explode in a person's body, wouldn't that person have god-like abilities that we can't believe?"
"Perhaps it's hard for everyone to understand if I say it this way, so let's just use scientific data instead."
As is well known, the explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT can produce 4.2 million joules of energy. Based on the formula 1 joule equals 0.1 kilogram-meter, the energy released by 1 kilogram of TNT can propel a 1-kilogram object 420 kilometers, or a 100-kilogram object 420 kilometers.
"The hydrogen bomb, three-phase bomb, and cobalt bomb, which we regard as ultimate weapons, have the most powerful explosive force equivalent to 1 million tons of TNT. You can do the math; what a terrifying and powerful energy that is capable of annihilating everything! And warriors and gods possess such power..."
"A single blow from God can destroy a country. When the power to destroy a country is concentrated in one person, it creates the kind of dark cloud effect seen in documentaries when the Grim Reaper appears. Do you all understand now?"
Dr. Asamori also needs to use science to explain the unscientific aspects of the documentary.
The situation was much simpler for Tianzhixiang and his two companions.
Since their debut a few days ago, they have easily defeated the world's leading champions in boxing, karate, judo, and other disciplines. With their handsome appearance and powerful Iron Man armor, they have gained countless fans all over the world and are recognized worldwide as the most popular star fighters.
"We believe these scenes are real. The Sanctuary is a sacred place in the hearts of human warriors!"
After prominent experts and celebrities from the scientific and martial arts communities stepped forward, the documentary "Final Destination" became a global sensation.
The most popular character was the villain Thanatos, who overshadowed even the magnificent architecture of the Sanctuary and the Saints who had limited screen time, attracting attention and discussion from audiences worldwide.
Of course, most of these discussions are negative, especially online.
There are networks in this world, but because the earth is so vast, most networks in various continents are local area networks (LANs). To develop them into wide area networks (WANs), or even a global network covering all eighty-eight continents, we still need to wait for the emergence of wireless communication technologies like Starlink.
However, this did not stop Danados's image from going viral online.
Especially his disheveled appearance when he fled in defeat.
Some busybodies even combined his silver hair, silver eyes, silver pentagram, and the ghostly golden arrows that resembled golden clods on the hill behind him, giving Thanatos the nickname—Silver Clover!
This isn't just some people mocking Death; after all, the documentary mentions at the end that Thanatos, the god of death, has a brother with blond hair, golden eyes, and a golden pentagram, Hypnos, the god of sleep.
Although the god of sleep has not appeared in the world, people have already given him a nickname on the internet: Jin Ke La!
……
Hypnos was unaware that his brothers had become famous throughout the world.
Originally, after hypnotizing Death, he planned to go to the human world immediately. However, his personality was completely different from Thanatos'. Although he was powerful, he was extremely cautious. He did not recklessly rush into the enemy camp alone. Instead, he planned to find out the current situation of the human world before going to Pandora and the others to lead Hades' army to attack the Sanctuary together.
"Speaking of which, how long has it been since I, the so-called God of the Underworld, last graced the mortal realm? I'm afraid no one in this world even recognizes me, the God of Sleep?"
Chapter 384 Reunion! Uncle Jin Ke La
Yama Kingdom, Konoha Castle.
"Although the world has changed a lot, human beings are still like ants, with short-lived and lowly lives!"
Hypnos, dressed in a snow-white divine robe with golden patterns inside, stood at the crossroads of this international metropolis, gazing at the world of towering buildings and bustling pedestrians before him, his deep golden eyes filled with pity.
Unlike Thanatos, Hypnos's gaze toward humanity was not one of contempt and superiority, but rather one of heartfelt compassion.
Hypnos disliked coming to the human world because, in the eyes of this god with eternal life, humans were truly pitiful. They had only a short lifespan of less than a hundred years, and in that short time, the vast majority of people would be exhausted by poverty, then fall ill because of exhaustion, then become poor because of illness, and then have to continue toiling because of poverty...
This cycle continues endlessly, generation after generation.
This is the unsolvable vicious cycle of humanity, as pitiful and pathetic as ants. So whenever Hypnos descends to earth, he wants to give humanity eternal salvation, allowing them to die happily in their sleep!
In this way, humans wouldn't have to work hard for decades, spend their entire life savings on hospitals, only to die in pain and torment.
"Let's begin here! Let's create a world of dreams, offering humanity eternal salvation!"
Overwhelmed with endless compassion, Hypnos couldn't help but raise his hands high, preparing to cast an eternal sleep and transform the Yama Kingdom before him into the ideal country he desired.
Hypnos was not afraid of being stopped, because he was not in reality, but in a "dreamlike space" similar to a parallel universe.
"Humans, be grateful! Remember, it was... never mind, after all, I haven't been to the human world for over 200 years. Even if someone could see me, I'm afraid no one in this world would know who I am anymore?"
"Uncle, I know who you are!"
"?!"
A child's innocent voice interrupted Hypnos's soliloquy. Just as Hypnos's golden eyes were wide open, a little boy with emerald green hair, dressed in orphanage clothes, ran excitedly in front of him.
"Uncle, are you the one mentioned in the cosplay of 'Sanctuary: Final Destination', the brother of Silver Fertilizer... Golden Fertilizer?"
"Ha...ha...Your Highness Hades?!"
Upon seeing the child's face, Hypnos felt a surge of emotion, his heart pounded wildly as if it would leap out of his chest, and his body went limp. He couldn't help but want to kneel down and pay homage.
But just then, another child's voice came from afar.
"Shun, what are you saying to thin air? Stop dawdling! Today is the day the promotional posters for the 'Galaxy Arena' are released. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to get one!"
"Ah! Seiya, I'm so sorry!"
Upon hearing the call, Shun immediately turned around and chased after Seiya, while also politely waving his little hand back at Hypnos.
Goodbye, Uncle Jin Ke La!
"Uh, ha... Hardy... goodbye..."
Hypnos reflexively waved to Shun in response, and only after the children disappeared did he return to his normal expression, his golden eyes then becoming serious.
"Why is His Highness Hades here?"
"Could I be seeing things? Impossible! This child not only looks exactly like His Highness Hades, but he can also see through my dream at a glance. He is definitely the reincarnation of my great god, His Highness Hades, the King of the Underworld!"
"However, why does His Highness Hades call me Jin Kela? I don't know what the name Jin Kela means, but it sounds very friendly! Could it be that although Hades has not yet awakened, his body is instinctively expressing closeness to me?"
“It must be so! I never imagined that although His Highness Hades appears cold and ruthless, he is actually warm-hearted beneath his cold exterior. Even after reincarnation, he still cherishes my and Thanatos's hearts! With such a master, what more could I ask for? Your Highness Hades, from this day forward, your subordinate Hypnos will follow you to the death…”
"No, from now on, I will be called Jin Kela, because this is the name bestowed upon me by my God! Also..."
While moved to tears, Hypnos also felt a surge of anger, because according to the customs of the underworld, Pandora was in charge of Hades' reincarnation, but Pandora was clearly not by Hades' side now.
This woman, whom Queen Persephone considered a sister, is so irresponsible!
"Your Highness Hades, to repay your concern, from this day forward, I shall be your guardian! Hmm... before that, I think I should figure out what Your Highness meant by 'The Grim Reaper Arrives in the Sanctuary'? And what does 'Golden Fertilizer' mean?"
With Hades on his mind, Hypnos naturally had no desire to save humanity. He spread his huge wings and chased after the direction where Shun and the other children had disappeared.
Halfway there, he saw an electronics store with the title "Sanctuary: Death Has Arrived" displayed on an LCD screen outside. Hypnos couldn't help but stop out of curiosity.
A few minutes later.
Hypnos's golden eyes almost blazed with fire.
"So...it turns out...it's because I'm the villain's brother, and I look a lot like Thanatos, that's why His Highness Hades recognized me. And this 'Golden Fertilizer' thing actually means..."
"Pandora, how did you teach Lord Hades?"
Fueled by boundless rage, Hypnos continued his pursuit of Shun.
Since Shun could see through his movements, Hypnos didn't dare get too close. Instead, he stood far away on the top of a tall building, watching Shun and his companions from a distance.
Upon seeing this, he became even angrier.
Because his great god Hades was being casually ruffled in the hair and patted on the shoulder by a few little kids, and was even being kicked in the butt by a black-haired boy as if to teach him a lesson.
If Thanatos, the god of death, were to see this scene, he would surely appear immediately and blast these audacious children who dared to blaspheme Hades into dust.
But Hypnos did not move, because he discovered that his chief god, the great Hades, the god of the underworld, not only did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but instead looked happy and content.
His Highness Hades seems to have a good relationship with these children.
And he has been trying to integrate into their small group of five.
"Damn it, why has Your Highness become like this?"
Hypnos couldn't stand it any longer, but he didn't dare to show himself and disturb his own god's interest. Instead, he flashed away with boundless rage and headed straight for the Dao Domain.
"Pandora, you must give me, Hypnos, an explanation today!"
……
Thank you to MoTuSang, AihaoXianxiaChangsheng, Lingling233, and several other readers with numbers for their donations. I apologize for not seeing them before.
Chapter 385 Taking the Challenge! The Moon Goddess Has Arrived (Part 1)
Tao domain.
Inside the elegant villa.
Esther sat on the edge of the bed, her face still bearing the lingering humiliation and bewilderment as she dressed. On the other side of the large bed, Pandora, her black dress disheveled and her face flushed, glared at Esther with resentment.
"Sisi, next time that guy is messing with you, can you please not keep hugging me? You seem satisfied..."
"Duoduo, the reason I endured that guy's daily humiliation was all so that the abyss would descend, so that your husband could return to your side?"
"Hmph, no one would believe you're doing this for the Abyss. If Thanatos hadn't lost, you would have wanted to turn Kanon into a ghostly Saint who obeys your every command."
"I want to too! Thanatos, the god of death, may have been defeated, but we in the underworld still have Hypnos, the god of sleep... wait, he's here!"
Before Esther could finish speaking, a gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, and Hypnos appeared in the room.
While not as imposing as when Death arrived, Hypnos's rage was even greater. His white robes fluttered, starlight shone between his brows, and his golden pupils, like flames, stared at Pandora, clearly looking like he was there to interrogate her.
"Pandora, why did you leave Prince Hades alone in the Kingdom of Yama?"
"Because that's the territory of the Holy Land."
"What?! You...you actually abandoned His Highness on the territory of the Holy Land?"
"Yes, Hypnos, is there anyone in this world better at nurturing talent than the Sanctuary? If we don't entrust His Highness to the Sanctuary for training, are we supposed to entrust him to the demons and monsters under my command? Besides..."
Compared to the unreasonable Grim Reaper, Pandora was not afraid of the more rational Hypnos. She said leisurely, "Hypnos, haven't you noticed that His Highness is living a very happy life now?"
"This……"
Hypnos was speechless. He suddenly felt that what Pandora said made a lot of sense: the most dangerous place was precisely the safest place.
In this world, only Hypnos and Pandora know Shun's true identity. Before Hades awakened, the Sanctuary not only did not harm him, but also carefully nurtured him. When Hades awakens, who in the Sanctuary can stop Hades' return?
"Hypnos, because of Thanatos's mischief, the reputation of our Underworld has been greatly damaged. As a servant of Hades, now that you have come to the mortal realm, your most important task is not to question me, Pandora, nor to interfere with His Highness's life, but to find a way to lead Hades' army to restore the prestige of our Underworld!"
