Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Moreover, with Thanatos, the God of Death, guarding the God-Slaying Jar, he didn't think these Saints could do anything on their own.

He just needs to stay at his post and fulfill his duties.

Immediately, the two fighters, both known for their physical prowess, engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle.

Meanwhile, led by Pope Sage, the Saints charged directly towards the center of the Underworld Rift, which was also the location of the God-Slaying Jar.

Fortunately, Thanatos did not send any new reinforcements from the Underworld this time; the Specters guarding the rift in the underworld were the same ones as before.

Apart from Radamanthys of the Heavenly Fierce Star, there was no other Specter with the Seventh Sense here, so the Gold Saints easily dealt with the lower-ranking Specters.

Soon, they arrived at the center of the Yellow Springs Rift.

Upon seeing the enormous dark red magic jar, and Sasha sealed inside with only her head sticking out, Pegasus was immediately thrilled.

"Sasha!"

He exclaimed in surprise and immediately rushed forward to help.

"do not want!"

Sage tried to intercept, but it was too late; Pegasus charged away.

At the same time, a huge figure appeared next to the magic jar, with a bright six-pointed star mark between its eyebrows, and an extremely terrifying pressure from its body.

"It's Thanatos, the god of death!" Taurus Hasgard immediately recognized him.

He had clashed with the rift to the underworld the last time he fell into it, so he remembered it vividly.

Pegasus?

Recognizing the charging Pegasus, Thanatos, the God of Death, sneered and said, "You think you can challenge the gods with your current strength?"

"You're seriously overestimating yourself!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a purple bolt of lightning, carrying an aura of destruction, shot out.

"Pegasus, watch out!"

Everyone shouted a warning in unison and spontaneously stepped in to help defend against the attack.

Sensing the same dangerous fluctuation, Pegasus also launched a counterattack without hesitation.

Pegasus Meteor Fist

Countless silver meteors materialized, transforming into a dazzling meteor shower, heading towards that purple lightning bolt.

Chapter 345 Fierce Battle Against Death

Rumble!

The purple lightning was unstoppable, shattering all the meteors with overwhelming force; the magnificent meteor shower only lasted for a fleeting moment.

"what!!!"

Pegasus was horrified when he saw it.

This was his first time facing Death head-on, and he finally understood why so many Gold Saints were so afraid of Death.

This is indeed an extremely terrifying enemy.

Rumble!

The attacks from the crowd behind them followed closely, and together they blocked Death's lightning bolt.

"Be careful, the Grim Reaper's strength is extraordinary, don't act rashly!" El Cid solemnly warned, then accelerated and rushed towards the Grim Reaper.

"Thanatos, let's continue our battle that is not yet over!"

Having said that, he unleashed a sword aura from afar.

Recognizing that it was the same Capricorn from last time, Death calmly said, "Your strength is not bad, but compared to the gods, you are still far behind!"

As he spoke, he casually slapped his hand, easily crushing the golden sword energy.

"I originally planned to destroy the Sanctuary after Athena's demise, but since you've come to me, I'll send you to hell ahead of time!" Thanatos sneered, raising his right index finger high, and a huge, ever-expanding ball of lightning appeared at his fingertip.

"Divine Oracle - Heavenly Punishment"

Immediately afterwards, the giant lightning ball continuously released bolts of lightning, attacking all the Saints present indiscriminately.

That terrifying power filled the Saint Warriors with dread, as if they were facing the might of the heavens.

"Don't think about it!"

Pope Sage stepped forward and pulled out a stack of talismans.

Those are divine symbols written with the blood of Athena.

"The Cage of God"

As the old man scattered the talismans, the 108 talismans spread out evenly and arranged themselves in a very neat manner around the perimeter, forming a huge magic array.

"ban!"

Then, the old man gave a soft shout, and the array of divine runes released beams of golden light, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Thanatoston felt an invisible pressure descend upon him, forcibly suppressing his inner cosmos, as if he were wearing shackles. Even the lightning ball above his head, which was originally over ten meters in diameter, shrank by nearly half, greatly reducing its power.

“Athena’s runes?” Thanatos immediately recognized the special runes.

"Yes! In order to deal with you, the Grim Reaper, I have specially used this method that was originally reserved for Hades, the King of the Underworld, on you!" Sage said loudly while manipulating the rune array.

At this moment, with Death suppressed, the barrage of lightning attacks was also greatly weakened. The Saints worked together and finally stopped it.

Taking this opportunity, they also launched their own counterattacks.

“Excalibur”

El Cid unleashed a powerful golden sword aura that sliced ​​through space, seemingly indestructible.

Pegasus Meteor Fist

Undeterred, Pegasus unleashed his signature move once more, unleashing a dense barrage of meteors that rained down on Death.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

"Giant Horn"

"Piranha Rose"

"Lightning Speed ​​Fist"

Shion, Hasgard, Aphrodite, and Regulus, the four Gold Saints, also unleashed their respective special techniques.

In an instant, seven powerful attacks surged toward Death like a tidal wave.

"Insanity!"

Upon seeing this, Death roared in anger, immediately clasped his hands together, gathering the power of his cosmos in his palms, and a miniature black hole materialized.

"Black Hole Abyss"

Once the black hole had taken shape, he lifted it with one hand and placed it horizontally in front of him.

The miniature black hole suddenly expanded, growing from the size of a palm to a diameter of five meters, completely obscuring Thanatos's figure.

Whoohoo!

The attacks from the Saints followed closely, but they were all swallowed up by the black hole and could not harm Death in the slightest.

"Our attack is useless, form battle formation!" Shion shouted, bringing his hands together in the starting stance of 'Athena Exclamation'.

Taurus Hasgard and Pisces Yaphica did not hesitate and immediately came behind Shion, taking the same starting stance on the left and right.

Following this, under Shion's guidance, the three's inner universes resonated and flowed together, forming a stable triangular battle formation.

Having already witnessed Athena's Exclamation once, Thanatos, the god of death, knew exactly what they were planning to do and immediately tried to interrupt their battle.

"Go to the deepest part of hell and feel the boundless terror!"

With a forceful push, he immediately propelled the enormous black hole in front of him toward the three of them.

"Don't think about it!"

Sage rushed out, controlling the array of divine runes while gathering the power of his cosmos in his right hand, and a pale light shone on his fist.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi - Soul Burial Break"

He threw a punch, fearlessly smashing it into the center of the black hole.

In an instant, the black hole stopped absorbing, and a point of white light at the center rapidly spread, visibly engulfing the entire black hole.

boom!

Once the black hole turned completely pale white, it exploded with a deafening roar and, guided by Sage, spun back towards Death.

"That trick again!" Death frowned slightly.

He had witnessed it in the case of the Giant Seat Enlightenment.

The opponent was clearly weak, unable to withstand even a single blow, but he used this strange technique to counter him, deflecting his attacks and turning the tables on him, managing to hold out for several rounds.

Faced with the surging impact, Thanatos had no time to use his combat skills to defend himself, so he could only open his right hand and hastily gather his cosmos power to create a barrier to block it.

Rumble!

Because the preparations were too hasty, the Grim Reaper's barrier was very weak. In addition, Sage's attack used the Grim Reaper's own power, so it easily broke through his defense and hit him directly.

Faced with this attack, Death could no longer stand firm and involuntarily staggered back several steps.

Not only that, he also had many minor abrasions on his hands and body, and visible scratches on his battle suit.

Although not fatal, it was a great loss of face for Death.

He, a dignified deity, was actually defeated and injured by a mere mortal.

"Damn you, I will tear your soul out and condemn you to eternal torment in the River Styx!" Thanatos roared in fury.

Just as he was preparing to retaliate, El Cid had somehow circled around from the side.

“Excalibur”

This time, El Cid put all his strength into it, and a huge sword shadow, a hundred meters long, appeared from his body, slashing down towards Death with an unstoppable momentum.

"What???"
