Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"I can't help!"

Odysseus shook his head and said seriously, "This is a matter of his personal will!"

Whether he can wake up or not depends entirely on his decision.

"Whether he succumbs to the power of Hades or overcomes his fear and rises to the challenge is entirely up to him!"

"I see!"

Sage let out a long sigh, somewhat helpless about the situation.

“In that case, let’s leave him at your clinic for now and have you take care of him!” the old man said again.

“No problem, leave it to me!” Odysseus readily accepted the task.

He was still quite interested in Wuxin's bronze body.

Although the process of achieving the bronze body cannot be replicated, careful study of it can greatly enhance his understanding of life and thus improve his medical skills.

After completing the rescue, Sage turned and left.

Upon hearing that the treatment was completed, Pegasus and Shion rushed over to check on Wuxin. However, seeing that Wuxin was still unconscious, the two felt extremely regretful and stayed for a while before leaving.

On the other hand, after suffering a severe blow, Wuxin's consciousness quickly entered a dazed state.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he vaguely felt that the crisis that seemed to be able to devour his life had disappeared. His frightened heart finally calmed down a little, and his consciousness became much clearer.

For some reason, his consciousness seemed to be bound by an invisible cage, and he could not break free no matter what, nor could he truly awaken from his body.

"How is this going?"

He was bewildered and then further materialized his spiritual consciousness, transforming it into an appearance identical to his original self.

"open!"

Then, he took a lunge position, clenched his fist, and threw a punch forcefully forward.

However, it was as if an invisible barrier stood in front of him, blocking his fist completely and preventing him from breaking through even an inch.

"No, I can't be trapped here forever!"

He grew anxious and immediately increased the speed of his punches, raining down blows on the invisible barrier in front of him.

Bang bang bang!

His fists rained down, but to no avail. Instead, he was the one whose fists went numb and whose arms ached from the impact.

"What exactly is going on?"

Seeing this situation, he had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​using brute force to break the deadlock and instead begin to think deeply about the problems involved.

"I'm unconscious due to severe injuries!"

"Now I have barely regained self-awareness, but it is only a return to consciousness. I have not been able to truly integrate with my body and am still in a state of separation of soul and body."

"To be precise, it's not so much a separation of the soul, but rather a decline of consciousness."

Because of the severe injuries, his consciousness sank deep into his body, temporarily disconnected from it, giving him a feeling of being imprisoned.

Upon realizing this, Wuxin suddenly understood. After carefully examining the barrier again, he completely verified his conjecture.

"This place is my spiritual world, and the invisible barrier blocking me is not a real barrier, but another part of my spiritual power."

"They were scattered by the force that severely injured me, and now that they are out of control, they naturally surround my consciousness, thus forming this 'barrier'!"

"If that's the case, then I just need to reabsorb them, and this barrier blocking me will naturally disappear!"

Wu Xin then placed one hand on the 'barrier', preparing to try to absorb it.

Chapter 178 Enlightenment of the Manas (Part 2)

Since he is now the embodiment of his own consciousness, Wu Xin doesn't need any special skills to absorb his originally scattered spiritual power. He can simply absorb it into his body and then mix and assimilate it.

He then transformed his spiritualized hand further, making it resemble a thin plastic film, which he gently covered an area of ​​the barrier.

To prevent absorbing too much at once and being unable to 'digest' it, he decided to absorb it little by little.

Then, he slowly injected the portion of his mental energy that was covering the barrier.

By mixing one's conscious mental power with other unconscious mental power, one can guide and absorb other unconscious mental power through the conscious part of one's mental power.

Just like kneading dough, when wet flour comes into contact with dry flour, the wet flour will mix with some of the dry flour, gradually growing larger until it completely integrates with the dry flour.

And now, his own part of the conscious mental strength is that lump of wet flour.

Guided by his own spiritual power, Wu Xin quickly completed his first absorption.

However, the moment he absorbed the unconscious spiritual power on the barrier, an indescribable fear and dread surged into his heart.

This is a fear and dread that far surpasses any previous experience.

Wu Xin immediately realized that this was the fear and dread that naturally arose in his heart when facing that fatal blow from the sky.

Although he didn't show it on his face at the time, he genuinely felt these negative emotions inside.

Now that my mental consciousness has been scattered, those negative emotions have naturally dispersed into the overflowing spiritual energy.

If one wants to absorb all the spiritual power to reshape self-awareness, one must also absorb those negative emotions.

"This is a bit of a problem!"

Wu Xin frowned, but still did not stop absorbing spiritual power.

He knew very well the immense fear he felt on the verge of death after that fatal blow from the sky.

If he is not careful, he may not be able to complete the reconstruction of his self-awareness before he is consumed by the fear of impending death and completely sinks into depravity.

"It seems I have to slow down the absorption and digest these scattered spiritual energies little by little!" Wu Xin sighed helplessly.

Previously, I wanted to absorb it little by little, purely to prevent indigestion. Now, I'm slowing down the absorption rate for safety reasons, to prevent being consumed by the negative emotions generated by my impending death.

However, Wu Xin underestimated the instinctive fear that arose in his near-death moment.

As he gradually absorbed unconscious spiritual power, the negative emotion of fear also rapidly amplified in his heart.

His reason was gradually overwhelmed, and his consciousness became somewhat hazy.

"Oh no, I've been hit by a backlash!"

Suddenly, he was jolted awake, regained a moment of clarity, and immediately tried to stop absorbing the unconscious spiritual power.

However, it was only at this point that he was horrified to discover that he was unable to stop the absorption process.

Because of excessive absorption, those unconscious spiritual forces actually began to assimilate his conscious part of his spirit.

Now, it's no longer a question of whether he wants to absorb it or not, but when he will be completely assimilated and devoured.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Wu Xin was furious and struggled frantically to break contact with the barrier in order to stop the absorption.

Unfortunately, his spiritual avatar seemed to be completely stuck to the barrier. No matter how hard he tried, he could not separate it even for a moment. He could only helplessly watch as he absorbed the unconscious spiritual power and assimilated himself little by little.

"Do not--"

He let out a terrified cry, but it was of no use.

Worse still, after a brief moment of clarity, his consciousness, under the influence of that immense and intense fear, once again became muddled and confused.

He was like a turtle sensing danger, helplessly retreating into its shell, waiting for the predator to wreak havoc on him.

In the end, even the shell he used to protect himself was crushed, and he was completely devoured by his prey.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but Wuxin's conscious self has become increasingly weak and is about to be completely swallowed up by the negative emotions of fear.

Suddenly, the already dim golden shield mark on his right hand shattered, turning into a faint golden light that entered his body and shone on his deepest consciousness.

In that instant, Wuxin felt as if he had seen a ray of hope in the darkness, and his previously muddled consciousness returned to clarity.

He knew that it was the blessing Sasha had once bestowed upon him that had exhausted its last bit of strength to help him regain his senses for a moment.

This is also his last chance.

If his current predicament cannot be resolved, his consciousness will forever remain trapped, with no possibility of ever waking up again.

This is not the ending I deserved!

"I haven't awakened my seventh sense yet!"

"I haven't become a Gold Saint yet!"

"I haven't avenged my senior brother yet!"

"I still don't understand who I am or why I'm here!"

"I don't want to die, and I can't die!"

At this moment, driven to the brink of despair, Wu Xin, as if by divine inspiration, highly concentrated his spiritual will, and a strong obsession arose from this.

With the power of his obsession, he completely overwhelmed the fears that were trying to devour him, and following a familiar feeling, he transformed his obsession into a silver flame that burned fiercely in his spiritual world.

However, temporary suppression cannot solve the problem permanently; on the contrary, it may cause the problem to rebound and become more serious.

The waves of fear, born from his impending death, surged like towering waves, seemingly intent on destroying his spiritual world, crashing down upon the silver flames formed from Wuxin's spiritual consciousness.

"bring it on!"

"Let me see, will you devour me, or will I utterly destroy you!"

Wu Xin did not back down, nor did he have any room to back down. He controlled the silver flames he had transformed into and went to meet them.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that he had experienced the same thing before. He followed that familiar feeling deep inside and skillfully controlled the silver flames to incinerate the wave of fear.

And with each wave of fear he incinerated, his silver flames grew stronger.

Once he had burned away all the waves of fear, his entire spiritual world was enveloped in the light of silver flames, completely dispelling the previous darkness of despair.

At this moment, Wu Xin also clearly felt that his spiritual will had undergone a strange transformation, and a wisp of gold emerged from the silver flames.

That wisp of gold seemed to be contagious, quickly dyeing the entire silver flame and turning it completely into a golden flame.
