Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Not yet, sir!"

Violet lowered his head and replied, then added, "However, it's also possible that they've already started their operation, or even infiltrated the area, but we just haven't discovered it yet!"

"If that's really the case, then that would be wonderful!" Aiacos sighed softly.

As he spoke, his flagship had already taken to the skies and arrived near the Yellow Springs Rift.

The entire Yellow Springs Rift is shrouded in a magic array set up by the God of Death, which is continuously tearing it apart and expanding it.

As one of the key elements of this 'Sanctuary Fall' plan, in order to ensure the continued operation of this great formation, the Grim Reaper dispatched a large number of Specters to guard it, while his flagship was responsible for the rotation and transportation of the Specters guarding the area.

After all, not all Specters have the ability to fly directly up here.

Slowly passing through the enormous crack, the flying warship arrived at a vast underground space.

This is deep underground, directly beneath the Holy Land, and also the starting point where the Yellow Springs Rift opened.

However, as soon as the flying warship passed through the magic circle, the originally light purple magic circle turned dangerously red, as if it had been stained with blood.

"What's going on?" A Specter was terrified as he watched the magic circle change drastically.

This is one of the key aspects of the 'Sanctuary Fall' plan. If anything goes wrong, given Thanatos's temper, none of them will survive.

In an instant, the numerous Specters were thrown into chaos, and the once relatively quiet warship suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

At the stern of the warship, Bai Li, who had witnessed all these changes, also became vigilant and took advantage of the chaos to quickly hide in a dark corner of the warship.

He had a bad feeling.

"I'm afraid something unexpected is about to happen!"

The old man sighed softly and secretly gripped the holy sword given to him by Sasha.

At the same time, seeing his ship's many Specters in chaos, Tianxiong Star Aiacos frowned deeply.

"A bunch of useless trash, what are you panicking for!"

He roared and suddenly flapped the two upward-pointing wings on his back.

In an instant, gusts of wind arose from beneath his wings, carrying red feathers into the crowd.

However, those seemingly harmless red feathers suddenly erupted into scorching flames upon contact with the Specters below, instantly merging into a sea of ​​fire that scorched the Specters, causing them to scream in agony.

"Ah-"

"Lord Aiacos, spare me—"

The Specters begged for mercy, but Aiacos on his throne remained unmoved, coldly watching them turn into ashes in his flames.

When the last Specter below was completely burned to ashes, almost all that remained on the deck were some low-ranking ghost messengers.

However, having witnessed Aiacos's ruthlessness, they dared not utter a sound and stood obediently in place, motionless.

Suddenly, the noisy warship fell eerily quiet.

Seeing this, Tianxiongxing Aiacos finally spoke up: "Everyone, listen to my command, assemble on the deck in front of me!"

"Three minutes. If anyone doesn't arrive within three minutes, kill them without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining ghost messengers and the few demon stars who had narrowly escaped death breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly gathered on the deck in front of Tianxiong Star.

Three minutes passed quickly.

Aiacos glanced down, then instructed the person beside him, "Violet, go and see if there are any more rats hiding in the crevices on the ship!"

"As you command, my lord."

Violet responded and immediately landed on the deck below.

Chapter 245 Whereabouts Exposed

Violet unleashed his inner power and placed one hand on the deck.

"Go, my little darlings, and see if there are any more mice hiding in the crevices of this ship!"

"Shadow seam"

As Violet infused his cosmos power into his shadow, the originally dark shadow automatically separated, transforming into countless black shadows that rapidly dispersed along the deck.

Those weren't real shadows, but rather the dead disguised by her combat skills and the tar of the Seventh Hell, allowing them to move freely like shadows and even catch enemies off guard during battle.

At the same time, Tianxiong Star Aiacos's eyes were sharp as he scanned the people on the deck below.

The magic circle personally set up by Death has the additional function of detecting enemies, which is unknown to most people and is only known to him and Biore.

When the magic circle turns red as a warning, it means that an enemy infiltration has been detected.

Their airship reacted as soon as it entered the Yellow Springs Rift, which means that the enemy may have infiltrated their ship from the inside.

Unfortunately, after examining everyone on the deck, Aiacos still couldn't find anything suspicious.

"Fine, since we can't find them, let's just kill them all!"

He immediately had a bold idea: to kill all his subordinates.

If the enemy is taken down together, that would be ideal, but even if it's impossible to take them down, it will inevitably force them to stop hiding and pretending.

"Indra's Baptism"

He vigorously flapped the wings on his back, and immediately a gust of wind carrying red feathers blew down towards the crowd below.

"Do not--"

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare your life -"

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood their superior's intentions. They cried out and knelt down to beg for mercy, while some even chose to run away, wanting to escape from there.

Unfortunately, they were facing Aiacos, one of the three giants of the underworld, who never gave them a chance to escape from the very beginning.

Before they could even escape the warship's deck, the fiery red feathers had already landed on them.

Bang!

The feathers suddenly burst open, and flames burst forth, engulfing all the Specters and ghost messengers on the deck, instantly forming a huge pillar of fire and further expanding the scorching range of the flames.

"Ahhh-"

The crowd screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground in agony, and desperately rolled on the deck, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

However, the flames were extremely hot, possessing the power to melt stone and gold. In the blink of an eye, all the ghost messengers and Specters perished, burned to ashes by the intensely hot crimson flames.

"No? Or were they simply annihilated by my flames?" Aiacos frowned as he looked at the ashes on the deck.

Meanwhile, the shadow of the Lone Star, Violet, roamed the warship, searching for any potential hidden enemies.

Hidden in the shadows, Bai Li noticed the moving shadows and immediately changed his hiding place, afraid of being discovered by them.

Unfortunately, he underestimated those shadows.

He is, after all, a living, breathing person. No matter how he tries to hide, he will inevitably be limited by his physical form, and there are many places he simply cannot go.

But those shadows are different; they don't have this physical defect and can freely enter anywhere to explore, including some narrow crevices that can only accommodate a grain of rice.

As they relentlessly conducted a wide-ranging search, they soon forced Bai Li into a corner with no way to avoid them.

"Oops!"

As the shadows closed in from all sides, Bai Li's heart sank.

"It seems we have no choice but to retreat for now!"

He had no choice but to make the final decision.

With our whereabouts exposed, there's no point in staying and fighting.

Especially since Thanatos, the god of death, might be present here, if we don't evacuate in time, we'll surely face certain death in this situation where we're surrounded by powerful enemies.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

He concentrated the power of his inner universe at his fingertips, preparing to open a passage to the human world in order to escape his predicament.

However, as the accumulated corpse energy flew out from his fingertips, it could not penetrate the spatial node no matter what. It was like a group of headless flies trapped in an invisible cage, only able to fly around haphazardly in front of him.

How could that be?

Bai Li was taken aback.

This is Yomotsu Hirasaka, not part of the Underworld, but merely its outer perimeter, very close to the human world. With his strength, he should have easily found and opened the connection point to the human world, but the reality is quite the opposite.

He was unable to open the passage to the human world, and he couldn't even find the spatial node connecting the underworld to the human world!

"This must be the work of Thanatos, the God of Death!" Bai Li's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

He couldn't think of any other possibility besides the gods.

At the same time, as Hakurei burned his cosmos and unleashed his Sekishiki, Aiacos of Tenxiong Star on the deck also noticed the strange cosmos fluctuations in the warship's cabin.

"There it is!"

He leaped up and landed directly above the cosmic fluctuation, then quickly flapped the Skyward Wings on his back, launching an attack on Bai Li below through the warship's cabin.

Garuda flapping its wings

As he rapidly flapped his wings, a terrifying storm formed and slammed violently into the warship.

boom!

With a loud bang, the warship was unable to withstand the power of the storm and its bulkhead was ripped apart by the strong wind, revealing Bai Li hidden underneath.

"So that's where it was!"

Violet was a step behind, but he still managed to spot the figure that had appeared.

"Shadow seam"

She immediately manipulated her shadow to surround the old man.

However, Bai Li had no time to pay attention to those shadows, because the storm that had broken through the bulkhead was already in front of him.

There was no time to use any more combat techniques, so the old man decisively gripped the holy sword in his hand and charged forward.

"cut!"

With a soft shout, a faint golden light shone from the longsword in his hand, which then transformed into a phantom of a sword blade a hundred meters long, instantly cleaving the oncoming storm in two.

The entire move was completely destroyed, and the storm could no longer be maintained. It instantly collapsed and scattered in all directions, turning into gusts of wind that swept away the ashes of the corpses on the deck.
