Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

In contrast, Thanatos, the god of death, suffered no real injuries other than a few scratches on his armor.

However, failing to capture Bai Li only fueled Thanatos's rage.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

He quickly gathered his inner power in his palm, transforming it into streaks of purplish-black divine lightning to continue his ferocious offensive.

Bai Li had no choice but to brace himself, quickly regain his footing, and continue wielding the holy sword to withstand the relentless barrage of divine lightning.

However, with each divine lightning strike he blocked, his face grew paler and the cracks on the holy sword in his hand widened.

After blocking thirty-two divine lightning bolts in a row, the holy sword in his hand finally reached its limit.

The golden glow that was originally on the blade was completely extinguished, cracks covered the blade, and then it shattered before Bai Li's eyes.

"it's over!"

Outside the battlefield, Aiacos, watching all this, let out a soft sigh.

Without the protection of the Holy Sword, Hakurei would have no chance against the Grim Reaper.

Especially in such a severely injured state.

"Has it reached its limit?"

"It seems I'm really going to die here," Bai Li said with a bitter smile, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.

After this outburst, the volatile Thanatos regained his composure.

He once again adopted a superior attitude and sneered, "Without the protection of Athena's sacred artifacts, how will you withstand my attacks, mortal?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then threw away the hilt of his sword without hesitation, and said confidently, "Although I no longer have the power of the goddess, I still have the power of a mortal!"

"Now, I'll show you the power of mortals, Thanatos!"

As he spoke, he burned his inner universe with all his might, pouring all his remaining life force into it, using it as fuel to ignite the fire. His whole being seemed to be enveloped in a layer of pale flames, and his aura rose steadily, becoming more and more powerful.

"Are you ready to fight to the death? But so what? Mortals are destined to crawl on the ground and look up at the gods!" Seeing the old man's intentions, Death did not intervene.

In the final moments of his life, he magnanimously granted him an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.

When his aura reached its peak, Bai Li raised his right index finger high, and several streams of corpse energy shot out from his fingertip. Then he shouted loudly, "Comrades, heed my call and descend upon this place!"

Let's fight side by side one last time!

"Let this high and mighty god of death witness the wrath of us mortals!"

Chapter 249 Miracles of Mortals

"Sekishiki (a type of magical energy used to summon corpses)? You want to summon heroic spirits to help you in battle?"

As the god of death, Thanatos saw through Hakurei's plan at a glance.

He immediately sneered, "No need to waste your energy!"

"I have already said that this space has been sealed off by me, and even Athena would find it difficult to break through!"

"With your strength, you think you can break my seal and summon heroic spirits from the outside world to fight? You're dreaming!"

Bai Li ignored it, focusing even more intently on trying to release his accumulated corpse energy from this sealed space and send it into the underworld.

Unfortunately, just as the Grim Reaper said, the entire space was firmly sealed off, and no matter how hard Hakurei tried, he could not make the accumulated corpse energy break through the seal.

He was unwilling to give up and called out loudly again and again.

"Hear my call and descend, my comrades!"

"Please descend upon this place!"

……

He called out seven or eight times in a row, until the power Bai Li had gained by burning his life was about to be exhausted and his voice was completely hoarse. None of his accumulated corpse energy could break through the spatial blockade, and it could only dance around like a headless fly.

At that moment, the old man's face turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, Thanatos, the god of death, was in high spirits and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Mortal, are you giving up the fight?"

"However, this is fine too. It's not so bad to just watch you die in despair!"

Bai Li has already burned the last of his life force to transform his cosmic power; even without his intervention, he won't live much longer.

At this point, he lost all interest in making a move.

However, Bai Li did not give up. Blood dripped from his mouth as he shouted hoarsely at the sky.

"Hear my call, descend once more, my comrades—"

But at that moment, Death's expression suddenly changed. His smile vanished, replaced by an incredulous look of surprise.

"How is this possible?" He stared intently at the sky.

Upon hearing this, Tianxiongxing and Aiacos, who were outside the arena, also seemed to realize something and looked up at the sky.

Then, to the astonishment of the two gods, one silver streak after another pierced through the dimensional barrier and descended into this originally sealed independent space, transforming into the figures of Saint Seiya, standing behind Hakurei.

"This is impossible! How could he break the seal and summon these Saint Seiya spirits from the Frozen Hell?" Violet exclaimed in disbelief.

Aiacos, however, saw through something and said seriously, "No, it wasn't him who summoned these heroic spirits, but rather these heroic spirits who heard his call and came here on their own!"

"This is an incredible miracle!"

Although he had already deduced the reason behind it, he still found it hard to understand the birth of such a miracle; it was simply too incredible.

Because this was originally impossible.

It is known that after all the Saints die, their souls are sealed in the icy hell, where they suffer in bitter cold until their souls are completely destroyed.

He couldn't imagine what kind of power could allow these heroic spirits, who should have been sealed away, to break free from the shackles of hell and cross dimensional space to come to this closed battlefield.

On the battlefield, looking at the Saint Seiya Heroic Spirits standing behind Hakurei, Thanatos, the God of Death, after a brief moment of surprise, once again sneered: "So what if you've summoned the Saint Seiya Heroic Spirits?"

"They're just a bunch of ghosts who've been dead for over two hundred years!"

"You think you can compete with the gods with them? You're simply overestimating yourself!"

Bai Li shook his head and said seriously, "The power of one person is indeed insignificant, but if the power of many people is gathered together, even a god can be shaken!"

Then, he turned around, looked gratefully at the many heroic spirits, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you all for your help. Let the god of death before us witness the power of us mortals!"

All the heroic spirits agreed and nodded in agreement, then transformed into streaks of silver light that surrounded Bai Li.

"Gather!"

With a soft shout from Bai Li, the several streams of corpse energy he had previously released drew countless streams of light transformed from heroic spirits towards his fingertips, forming a bluish-white ball of light.

As the flowing light of the changing heroic spirits continued to flow into it, the bluish-white light cluster rapidly expanded, becoming increasingly enormous and emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

"What a terrifying move! It's probably beyond the Seventh Sense!" Violet's expression turned extremely serious.

It was fortunate that it was Death himself who was fighting against them; if it were them, they would have had almost no chance of stopping him.

No wonder this old guy dared to sneak in alone.

Such strength is truly terrifying.

In a one-on-one duel, she would have no chance of winning, and even Lord Aiacos would probably have little chance of victory.

At the same time, once the last stream of heroic spirit light merged in, the energy ball at Bai Li's fingertip had transformed into a massive blue-white light cluster with a diameter exceeding five meters.

"That's not enough, add my soul too!"

Bai Li shouted loudly, using the power of the accumulated corpse energy to separate his own soul and actively merge it into the ball of light above his head.

However, as his soul left his body, his old body, which had already exhausted its last bit of life and was barely supported by his soul, turned into dust completely, leaving only a few tattered, bloodstained clothes on the ground.

In that instant, the bluish-white ball of light expanded further, releasing waves of terrifying energy.

"You've even incorporated your own soul into the technique; it seems you truly don't want to live anymore!" Thanatos, the God of Death, shook his head slightly, remaining unmoved.

He had completely lost the thrill of the brutal killing he had just experienced from an opponent who was determined to die.

"Come, Thanatos, witness the power of mortals!"

Bai Li showed no mercy, using his soul will to control the entire cyan-white light ball to rush straight forward.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi - Transformation Wave"

The entire ball of light contained terrifying power. Under Bai Li's control, it was like a giant millstone, seemingly capable of crushing everything, even the air itself into particles smaller than molecules.

Thanatos, the god of death, remained calm and composed, saying, "I think you seem to have forgotten something very important!"

"Where do you get the courage to flaunt the power of your soul before a god of death, you mortal!"

As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he coldly uttered two words.

"Retreat!"

Immediately afterwards, the purple pentagram mark on Death's forehead released a beam of purple light, which landed directly on the oncoming bluish-white light.

In an instant, the unstoppable blue-white light stopped abruptly, then melted away rapidly like ice and snow under the scorching sun until it disappeared completely.

Chapter 250 The Last Move: A Message

"Heh, a mere mortal dares to contend with the gods? How utterly presumptuous!"

Seeing the Spirit Wave Orb dissipate, and Hakurei's soul and all the Heroic Spirits scattered by him, Thanatos, the God of Death, sneered and then disappeared from the battlefield.

Subsequently, the red magic circle that had sealed off the entire space returned to a purplish-black color, restoring it to its original state and opening the seal on the Yellow Springs Rift.

"What a pity! I couldn't have had a proper fight with him!" Looking at the broken sword and the remaining dust on the ground, Tianxiong Star Aiacos couldn't help but sigh.

He had heard of Hakurei's great name long ago, when he was still a Saint Seiya.

Unfortunately, we've never had a proper chance to spar.

It's truly regrettable that this opportunity, which we finally had, ended like this.

“However, with the Holy Sword in his hand, he would never give up this advantage to fight you fairly, sir!” Violet analyzed very rationally.

The Holy Sword greatly enhanced Hakurei's personal strength.

Even Thanatos, the god of death, could not defeat it in a short time.

If it were them, they would probably have a hard time even resisting the power of the holy sword; the strength of the two sides is completely unequal.
