Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Then, the god of sleep was completely bewildered when he returned to his body with Bai Li's soul.

They delivered themselves to the door to be sealed by the Holy Ark.

Without a soul, the body of the god of sleep is no different from a corpse, and naturally cannot withstand the destructive power of the Transcendental Wave.

I think this is why Hypnos praised Bai Li for doing a great job at the end.

This was a victory over the gods through wisdom, not simply a victory over Hypnos through force.

In short, Hypnos was too careless and was tricked by Hakurei using the hidden Ark of the Sea.

Based on this tactic, I conclude that Hakurei's strength is far inferior to Hypnos's.

So, has he achieved the Eighth Sense?

It's actually not easy to judge. I personally tend to think that he is at the limit of the seventh sense, infinitely close to the eighth sense.

When using a super move like the Transcendental Wave, it should be able to achieve the destructive power of the Eighth Sense.

But if he had reached the eighth sense, then why did it have to be Asmita who sacrificed the Demon-Suppressing Rosary? He was also qualified to make the sacrifice.

Therefore, I suspect that Hakurei simply hasn't reached the Eighth Sense.

In this way, the difficult choice of offering prayer beads will not arise.

At that time, only Asmita had attained the eighth sense, which destined Asmita to sacrifice himself.

As for the eighth sense old lion, he has been dead for a long time and there was no choice at all.

Therefore, Hakurei's actual combat power should be the limit of the seventh sense, and he can barely reach the destructive power of the eighth sense when using the Tenryuha.

One more point: we don't know the sealing mechanism of the Ark yet, but we can analyze some of it based on its appearance in the story.

It must have been created by Athena as a special treasure specifically for the Gemini Gods.

After Death's soul entered Sage's body, it was immediately sealed by the Ark of the Holy See and could not escape.

If Sage were to rely solely on his own abilities to compete with a Grim Reaper for a body, it would be impossible. Therefore, it was the power of the Ark of the Sea that suppressed the Grim Reaper.

From this, we can conclude that if the Ark of the Sacred Relic directly comes into contact with the souls of the Twin Gods, it will generate a powerful force that grabs or sucks into their souls, preventing them from escaping.

Therefore, after Hakurei hid the Ark of the Sacred Stones inside his body, if Hypnos were to follow Hakurei's soul back, the outcome would be predictable—he would be walking right into a trap.

"not good!"

Rhadamanthus and his companion immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to escape this star-shrouded land.

However, it was too late.

The countless tiny stars in the star cluster burst into light, releasing beams of bright light that crisscrossed and instantly formed an impenetrable net of starlight.

Even more terrifying was that those starlight beams contained a terrifying power, instantly piercing through the two men's underworld robes and striking them heavily.

"Ah-"

The two of them let out a scream, and the pitiful sound moved Orpheus.

"Another Gold Saint?"

He had already seen the man in golden armor behind that cluster of starlight.

"Aries Shion, I have come to provide reinforcements on the orders of the Pope!" the newcomer immediately introduced himself to Orpheus.

Sage originally intended to send Taurus Hasgard as reinforcement, but Aries Shion strongly expressed his desire to fight, so Sage had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, the dazzling star cluster light dispersed, and the two wounded Specters reappeared.

As expected of one of the three judges of the underworld, Radamanthys stubbornly stood on the ground without falling after withstanding Shion's "Stardust Spinning Technique".

However, his undergarments were mostly torn, with countless wounds underneath, from which bright red blood flowed out and onto the ground.

Tianjiexing Xilufeidu was far inferior, and having been injured in a previous fierce battle with Yapafica, he was now ambushed by Shion and was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.

"A great opportunity!"

Upon seeing this, Yapafica immediately prepared to kill the two.

But the dragon Korkis didn't give him that chance, and lashed out with a powerful swipe of its tail.

Left with no other choice, Yapafica had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​pursuing the dragon and quickly dodge its attacks.

boom!

The dragon's thick tail slammed down, instantly shattering the ground into pieces. Countless fragments of rock shot out, striking the group with a crackling sound, causing Yapafica and the others to frown.

Although those pebbles weren't very lethal, they still hurt quite a bit when they hit you.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhadamanthus finally caught his breath and immediately led Silufedu far away, temporarily disengaging from the battle.

Shion wanted to continue the pursuit, but the dragon's attack blocked his path.

Perhaps because the Gold Saints presided over the hypnosis operation, the dragon Colchis harbored even greater hatred for the Gold Saints.

Seeing a new Gold Saint join the battlefield, the Demon Dragon was naturally not going to let him go easily, and focused its attacks on the two Gold Saints.

Damn it!

Shion was quite helpless, but he could only temporarily let Radamanthys and the other man go and deal with the dragon's attack.

For a moment, thanks to the dragon's 'interception,' Rhadamanthus and his companion were able to escape danger.

However, their severe injuries made it difficult for them to control the current situation.

"My lord... how about we retreat for now?" Sirufidu suggested cautiously.

Their mission was to close the rift in the dream world, and now that they have achieved their goal, they can consider retreating.

"no!"

Rhadamanthus rejected it without hesitation.

Although he had destroyed his auditory center and could no longer hear his subordinates' voices, he could still guess their meaning from their lip movements.

He looked at Orpheus on the battlefield and said, "As long as he's here, they can hypnotize the dragon again once the harp is repaired."

"Therefore, we must find a way to get rid of him!"

Once Orpheus dies, the Saints will no longer be able to hypnotize the dragon, and naturally, they will no longer be able to open the dream world rift again.

He no longer cared whether he would offend that woman.

“But now the Holy Land has sent reinforcements. It’s probably too late for the two of us to defeat Orpheus. Perhaps we should ask Lord Pandora for help!” Sirusfedu suggested again.

Under normal circumstances, with their strength, they should be able to handle two Gold Saints and one Orpheus.

However, due to a lack of understanding of the actual situation, they had already suffered serious injuries in the previous battles, and their combat strength had declined significantly. Now, their chances of winning against those three were extremely low.

If it weren't for the awakened demonic dragon 'stopping them,' their situation would probably be even worse.

"no!"

Rhadamanthus rejected the proposal again, saying seriously, "If we can't even handle this small matter, how can we establish ourselves in the Underworld?"

As one of the three giants of the underworld, he also has his own pride, and he will not easily ask for help unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, he, as one of the three giants, would become a laughing stock in the entire underworld.

"But--"

Before Sylphie could finish speaking, Rhadamanthus waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "I know what you're worried about!"

"But our goal is not to kill those two Gold Saints, but simply to completely seal the rift in the dream world."

"Therefore, we don't need to worry about dealing with those two Gold Saints anymore; we just need to concentrate our efforts on taking down Orpheus!"

It's almost impossible for them to deal with three people at the same time, given their current state.

But it's enough to deal with just one Orpheus.

Upon hearing this, Xilufeidu remained silent for a moment before speaking, "In that case, let me create an opportunity for you, sir!"

He was seriously injured, and if he continued to fight, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

Realizing this, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​returning and prepared to fight with all his might.

Sensing that Tianjiexing was prepared to die, Rhadamanthus did not try to dissuade him, but solemnly nodded and said, "Go in peace, I will make sure your sacrifice is not in vain!"

For the Specters, death is not the end.

Even though the Holy Land has now forged that string of demon-suppressing prayer beads to suppress their resurrection power, Rhadamanthus firmly believes that as long as Lord Hades is still alive, they will be able to return from the dead silence.

Therefore, death was not an unacceptable horror for them.

"Then, I will be going now!"

After bowing to Rhadamanthus one last time, Syrupedus mustered his strength and turned to pounce on Orpheus in the midst of the battlefield.

"Huh?"

Facing a three-on-one attack, the already disadvantaged dragon Korchis noticed the approach of the Celestial Star.

But after realizing that Tianjiexing's target was not itself, but the legendary hero Orpheus, it stopped provoking them and continued its fierce attack on the three.

After all, given its current condition, it's really not suitable for it to continue provoking the two Specters.

If these two Specters were to kill Orpheus, it would actually be a good thing for it, so it adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards it.

"careful!"

Also noticing the attack from Tianjiexing, Shion immediately issued a warning and silently set up an invisible barrier behind the three of them.

"Feel this poisonous wind that can destroy everything, you wretched Saints!"

"Wings of Destruction"

Xilufeidu shouted loudly, spread his tattered wings on his back, and flapped them forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, gusts of pale green poisonous wind formed from beneath his wings, carrying a dangerous aura as they swept toward the three of them.

However, just as gusts of wind containing potent poison were about to strike the three of them, an invisible barrier appeared, blocking the attack of the poisonous wind.
