Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"We don't have much time left. This time, we must completely destroy Death's 'Severance Array'!"

Ninety percent of the entire Holy Land has already been separated from the earth. In a few more days, it will be completely separated from the earth and become an isolated island.

"Yes!"

The golden figures responded and immediately leaped into the air, flying towards their respective predetermined targets.

Wu Xin deliberately stayed at the very back, and only after everyone had left did he ask Sage, "Your Holiness, what about our operation..."

Before the Pope could answer, Sasha said earnestly, "It was my decision to change the plan at the last minute!"

"Before Mr. Bai Li died, he deliberately sent back a message that Death was hiding in the Yellow Springs Rift and had set a trap there, just waiting for us to come to him."

"Based on the intelligence he sent back, I have analyzed that it is also a very powerful magic array. Even if a god is trapped in it, it would be difficult for him to break free in a short time."

"However, Mr. Bai Li did not see the full picture of the magic circle, and I suspect that Death is still hiding something."

"Otherwise, he would never have been so confident that he could deal with me!"

Sasha paused for a moment, then continued to explain, "Although, according to the information sent back by Mr. Bai Li, I have found some corresponding methods to break the magic array."

"But considering that Death still has some hidden aspects that haven't been revealed, it would be too dangerous to rush in."

“Originally, I planned to take you and Mr. Sage into the Rift of the Underworld to fight against Death, but El Cid’s breakthrough gave me another idea.”

"Another way?" Wu Xin asked, puzzled.

Sasha didn't explain, but instead asked with a smile, "How strong do you think El Cid is right now?"

"Very strong, stronger than anyone can imagine!"

Wu Xin said seriously with a solemn expression, "Senior El Cid is skilled in using sharp sword energy, with unparalleled attack power, and is especially good at frontal breakthroughs."

“Even before he comprehended the eighth sense, no one of his level would dare to directly confront his sword energy.”

"Now that he has awakened the eighth sense, his strength has reached a new level. On the battlefield, there will be absolutely no one who can stop him."

Sasha nodded and added, "That's right. With El Cid's current strength, once he enters the battlefield, no one can stop him."

"If he were to kill a few more powerful Specters, it could very well lead to the complete collapse of the Specters' side."

Upon hearing this, Wuxin immediately understood Sasha's plan and exclaimed, "I understand!"

“Once Senior El Cid is unstoppable on the battlefield, Death will have to take action himself if he doesn’t want his carefully laid plans to collapse.”

"My lord, you're planning to use Senior El Cid as bait to lure out the Grim Reaper hiding in the rift of the underworld!"

"But wouldn't this be too dangerous for Senior El Cid?"

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

That's Thanatos, the god of death; even a Saint with the Eighth Sense wouldn't be able to contend with him.

Chapter 267 The Battle Begins

"I will be focusing on the situation in El Cid, you don't need to worry about that!"

Sasha smiled confidently and added, "Moreover, we also told El Cid about this beforehand so that he could prepare in advance."

"Next, we just have to patiently wait for death to make its move!"

"Once Death appears, I will do my best to hold him off and prevent him from returning to the Rift of the Underworld!"

"And your and Mr. Sage's task is to assist me from the sidelines and help me quickly seal away the Grim Reaper!"

"If this drags on too long, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of Hades, and then all our efforts will be in vain!"

Upon hearing Sasha mention Hades, Wuxin asked with some doubt, "Speaking of which, it seems that Hades hasn't made any other moves since his last visit to the Holy Land."

"Could he be plotting something in secret, just like Death himself?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Sasha shook her head and said seriously, "I can sense that his power has awakened multiple times in a very short period of time. He must be having difficulty controlling himself, so he stayed in Hades City and hasn't gone out yet."

As reincarnations of gods, they are like a second consciousness derived from the gods.

However, their second consciousness is very weak compared to the original consciousness of the gods, and they cannot fully control the power of the gods themselves, so they need time to adapt little by little.

If one suddenly gains control of a large amount of power, it is very likely that one will lose control of that power and it will backfire on oneself.

Hades' multiple awakenings in a short period of time likely stemmed from his inability to control himself.

"If that's true, that would be great!" Wu Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, he said to the two of them, "Since you two have made new arrangements, I won't waste any more time here!"

"The battle has begun!"

After saying that, he leaped into the air and flew towards the nearest magic array.

Several Gold Saints arrived at the battlefield first, and before the Specters guarding the magic array could react, they rushed straight for the key node that Sasha had deduced for them to interfere with the operation of the magic array.

"break!"

With a roar, the three of them simultaneously used their golden weapons, or rather, sacred artifacts, to lock onto the magic array nodes on the ground and slam them down heavily.

The magic circle on the ground originally possessed powerful protective capabilities, which even a Saint with the Seventh Sense could not easily destroy. This was something that Scorpio Cardia had experienced firsthand when he first discovered it.

But this time was different. El Cid and his group were much better prepared and had even brought the sacred artifacts bestowed by Sasha.

The moment the sacred artifact, imbued with divine power, touched the magic array, it immediately suppressed the energy flow within the array's nodes, drastically reducing its defensive effectiveness.

Combined with the power of the Gold Saints, the destructive power of the sacred artifacts was fully unleashed at this moment.

The three sacred artifacts instantly sank into the ground, completely embedding themselves in the magic circle, further suppressing it and eliminating the magic circle's blessing on the Specters and its suppressive effect on the Saints.

"what happened?"

As Ivan, the Heavenly Defeat Star, sat in the center of the magic circle, he felt his power waning and his expression changed drastically.

"It's him, it must be him!"

A demon star nearby immediately pointed at the Gold Saint not far away and shouted, "I just saw with my own eyes that he seemed to have put something into the magic circle. They must have ruined the function of the magic circle!"

"Damn Saint Seiya! Kill him!" Ivan the Defeated Star roared, issuing the attack order to his many subordinates.

The Gold Saints before him were somewhat unfamiliar; they were not the same ones who had previously attacked the magic circle. To be on the safe side, he did not rush forward himself.

"Go together!"

Despite knowing they were no match for them, the Specters mustered their courage and called upon their companions to surround them from different directions.

"You're all too weak. Let your leader come and die!" El Cid sneered, then raised his palm into a blade and spun around to slash horizontally.

call out!

Golden sword energy emanated from him, spreading out like a pale golden ripple.

The ranged attacks unleashed by the Specters were instantly cleaved in two upon contact and then exploded in mid-air.

But the golden ripple did not exhaust its power and continued to spread outwards.

"This is impossible!"

The Specters were somewhat incredulous upon seeing this.

The newcomer blocked the attack of nearly twenty people with a single, effortless strike, and still had the strength to continue attacking them.

Before they could figure it out, a ripple-like sword aura reached them.

Previously, they were quite far away, and the power of the sword energy was contained, so they didn't feel anything special. But now that the sword energy had arrived in front of them, everyone finally felt that sharpness that seemed to be able to cut through everything.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Some of the more powerful Specters issued warnings immediately, but it was too late.

The sword energy engulfed the Specters like a tidal wave, freezing their escape in an instant.

Immediately following were heart-wrenching screams.

"Ahhh-"

All the Specters were cut in half at the waist by the sword energy, falling to the ground covered in blood.

Some, with weaker wills, could not bear the pain of being cut in half and died on the spot, while others, with stronger wills, were still alive and howled in agony on the ground.

However, for these determined Specters, death might be more comfortable; the pain of being cut in half at the waist was worse than death for them.

Seeing this, El Cid felt a pang of pity and unleashed another sword strike towards the ground.

"You should thank the goddess for her mercy! Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you off so easily!"

As they spoke, the golden, tidal wave of sword energy swept across the ground once more, instantly annihilating all the remaining Specters who were barely clinging to life.

Just then, Ivan the Defeater came from behind him with his icy voice.

"I think you should also thank Lord Hades for his kindness!"

"I will grant you eternal death!"

Taking advantage of El Cid's distraction, Tianbaixing decisively launched a sneak attack from behind.

"Giant Throw"

He raised his hands high, condensing a powerful microcosm in his palms, which then materialized into a boulder over five meters in diameter, which he hurled forcefully at El Cid.

However, the Heavenly Defeat Star clearly underestimated its opponent, whose movements were always under El Cid's control.

Without turning around, he swung his sword behind him.

call out!

With a whooshing sound, golden sword energy shot out from his hand and met the huge meteorite.

Swish!

Without any sound of collision, the golden sword energy sliced ​​it in half as easily as cutting tofu, and swept past it.

boom!

The boulder, split in two, flew past El Cid's sides before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up waves of yellowish dust.
