Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Of course, there is another reason.

When they were making this plan, Wuxin was still in the underworld and had not yet returned.

Manigold slowly stood up, scratched his head, and said awkwardly, "Junior Brother's strength is indeed very weak, but he also controls the power of corpse energy, which can provide us with some insignificant assistance."

"Moreover, Elder, you have reminded me many times."

"The god of sleep is very powerful, and we must do everything in our power to have even the slightest chance of defeating him."

"Therefore, I took it upon myself to bring my junior brother in."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li said nothing more, tacitly accepting Manigoldo's choice.

Manigold also withdrew from the battlefield to prepare for a rest.

Not far away, Hypnos, the god of sleep, watched the old man who had just arrived on the battlefield with great interest and asked leisurely, "And who are you?"

“I sensed you were spying on me from the shadows earlier!”

"I thought you would be overconfident and launch a sneak attack on me, but I didn't expect you to show yourself so quickly!"

Chapter 140 A Century of Resentment

With the power of Hypnos, the god of sleep, he naturally discovered Hakurei's infiltration into the dream world long ago.

Seeing that Bai Li remained inactive, he didn't deliberately expose him. Instead, he was curious and wanted to see what Bai Li was up to.

Seeing that Hypnos wasn't in a hurry to make a move, Hakurei calmly replied, "I am the previous generation's Altar Silver Saint. I was fortunate enough to participate in the last Holy War and witnessed the terrifying power of the gods Thanatos and Hypnos."

"So you're an old guy left over from the last holy war. No wonder you looked familiar!"

Shupunos nodded and said, "It's already quite an achievement to have survived the last Holy War. Why would you want to come out and die?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, pointed his index finger to the sky, and released another burst of cosmic power.

"Meteorite Falls from the Sky"

Immediately afterwards, a huge crack appeared in the space above the battlefield, and a massive meteorite with a diameter of over one hundred meters fell from it.

Bai Li showed no fear and immediately leaped up, raising the silver sword in his hand to meet the attack.

Swish!

With a powerful swing, he sliced ​​the boulder in two, and the two halves crashed heavily to the ground.

“That sword is strange!” Hypnos frowned slightly upon seeing it.

On the surface, the sword was nothing special; it was just like any other sword you could buy anywhere on the street.

But this extremely ordinary sword unleashed power far exceeding Bai Li's own, blocking his attack.

"There's Athena's aura on it!" After carefully sensing it, Hypnos noticed something amiss.

Although the sword was ordinary, it was infused with Athena's divine power, which is why it was able to help Hakurei block his attack.

"Is that sword what you rely on to dare face me?" Hypnos asked with a half-smile.

"No!" Bai Li shook his head.

"Oh?"

Hypnos was somewhat surprised by this answer.

Bai Li planted his sword in the ground, leaned on the hilt, and said earnestly, "Ever since I witnessed the power of the two gods more than two hundred years ago, I have known this clearly."

"To defeat you head-on is simply beyond my capabilities."

"Even if I had another two hundred years to cultivate, the result would be the same!"

“It seems you have some self-awareness!” Hypnos nodded.

But that's no reason for us to give up!

Bai Li's expression turned much more serious as he continued, "In the battle more than two hundred years ago, you killed countless of my comrades."

"At that time, the war was over, and everyone was ready to embrace the new era."

"But your appearance has completely shattered their dreams!"

In the last Holy War, under the leadership of the goddess Athena, the Saints joined forces to defeat Hades and achieved a great victory.

But just as victory was about to arrive, the Gemini Gods suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

They took Hades' soul and killed many Saints who had barely survived the brutal Holy War, causing countless Saints to fall in the last moments before dawn.

This also led to the two survivors of the last Holy War, Hakurei and Sage, harboring endless resentment towards the Twin Gods.

If it weren't for the sudden intervention of the Gemini Gods, many more comrades would have survived.

"So, you think you can defeat me with this resentment that has accumulated for over two hundred years?" Hypnos mocked without any attempt to hide his sarcasm.

"No!"

Bai Li shook his head, then pointed to his head and said seriously, "What I rely on is neither the holy sword bestowed upon me by Athena, nor the resentment of the past two hundred years."

"But rather, it is humanity's most proficient and powerful weapon—intelligence!"

“Wisdom? You dare to talk about wisdom with a god? Hahaha—” Shupu Norston immediately burst into laughter.

Humans were created by the gods, and everything that humans possess is naturally a gift from the gods.

A mortal showing off his wisdom in front of a god—that certainly tickled his funny bone.

Is it funny?

Bai Li countered with a question, then added, "Once I defeat and seal you with my own hands, perhaps you won't find this funny anymore!"

As he spoke, he drew the sword from the ground and charged toward the god of sleep.

"Unbelievable!"

Stop laughing, Hypnos gathered his cosmic power at his fingertips, and then pointed a finger forward.

"Nightmare Cycle"

A powerful cosmic force was released from his fingertips, which then transformed into a winged monster that resembled both a dragon and a snake, and pounced on Bai Li at lightning speed.

It was a monster created by the god of sleep using the terrifying emotions from human nightmares.

Once a mortal is entangled by it, he will immediately fall into a terrifying nightmare, and then be endlessly reincarnated in the nightmare, his soul being devoured bit by bit by this monster, until only an empty shell of flesh remains.

However, despite sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the monster, Bai Li remained fearless and charged forward with his sword.

The sword in his hand was just an ordinary object, but it was the sword that the previous goddess Athena had used.

For the Saint Seiya, this is undoubtedly a holy sword.

This holy sword was imbued with the aura of the previous goddess, and before his arrival, he had asked Lord Sasha to bless the sword and infuse it with divine power, giving it extraordinary power.

"cut!"

He roared, and his silver sword transformed into a streak of light, instantly slicing through the monstrous snake's body.

Immediately afterwards, the strange snake let out a terrified scream, then split in two, twisting and dissipating into the air, completely turning into nothingness.

"Although there is still a huge gap between my strength and yours!"

"But I am no longer the same person I was more than two hundred years ago!"

"Show me your true skills! Don't let me look down on you, Hypnos, the god of sleep!"

Bai Li didn't stop. He roared as he approached Hypnos, then, wielding his holy sword, he slashed down at Hypnos's head.

"Arrogant humans!"

Hearing this, the usually calm Hypnos became somewhat angry.

He saw that this was Bai Li's provocation, but as a god, he could not be afraid of a mortal, much less back down in the face of a mortal's attack.

Therefore, when faced with the holy sword infused with Athena's divine power, he did not dodge, but directly concentrated his cosmic power on his body, transforming it into a tough barrier in front of him.

clang!

Bai Li's heavy sword fell, but it was blocked by that tough barrier, producing a crisp sound like metal clashing against stone.

Immediately afterwards, the divine power of Athena contained within the Holy Sword collided directly with the power of Hypnos, and golden lightning burst forth from the point of impact, piercing through the void and shattering the surrounding space.

Chapter 141 We can only wait

A surging dimensional turbulence erupted from the crack, as if it wanted to destroy everything.

However, both Bai Li and Hypnos exuded powerful microcosmic fluctuations, directly blocking the dimensional turbulence from reaching them in the slightest.

After a brief stalemate, the balance between the two sides was broken.

The protective barrier of Shupunos was cut into by the holy sword in Bai Li's hand. The sharp blade, with a golden luster, sliced ​​through it bit by bit.

"This is impossible!"

Hypnos was taken aback and involuntarily took a small step back.

Swish!

The holy sword fell, striking the feet of the god of sleep, leaving a long sword mark on the ground, as if it were about to split him in two.

Bai Li's sword strike ultimately missed its mark.

However, Hypnos was not entirely unharmed.

click!

With a crisp sound, a small notch appeared on Hypnos's crown.

That was the damage caused when the holy sword grazed the crown as it fell.

Upon noticing this, Hypnos's expression immediately changed.

"Human, you deserve to die—"

He roared, and a terrifying burst of cosmic power erupted outwards.

Bai Li suddenly felt like a small boat adrift on the ocean, encountering a rare tsunami. He couldn't stand firm in the surging waves and was blown away.

Fortunately, he had the Holy Sword in his hand, and under its protection, he was not injured.
