Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Chapter 561 The Scythe of Judgment

boom!

With a loud bang, the golden light of the twelve constellations, shifting in turn, pierced through the sacrificial array and landed on one of the most special nodes.

Bang!

That particular point burst open like a bubble, and golden light rushed straight in.

It was then seen to reverse the flow of time and strike Uranus, the god of the sky, who was rushing downstream in the river of time.

"what--"

Uranustos immediately let out a painful scream.

This attack severely injured the Sky God, who was not yet fully resurrected, forcing him to halt his descent.

However, Regulus paid an extremely heavy price for unleashing this attack that far exceeded his capabilities.

His soul and flesh were disintegrating, constantly falling off his body.

"The rest is up to you!"

He glanced at Wu Xin and the other person one last time, then his entire body completely disintegrated, turning into a wisp of light particles that vanished into the air.

"Regulus—"

Wu Xin and the other person couldn't help but let out a cry of sorrow.

They have lost another comrade-in-arms.

However, things did not end there. Taking advantage of the fact that the Sky God was unexpectedly and severely injured by Regulus, or rather, all of this was part of the plan.

Athena put away the divine shield in her left hand, then clenched her other hand and conjured a black scythe, which she hurled straight at the god of the sky.

Before Uranus could react, the black scythe traversed the river of time, seemingly unaffected by time itself, and struck his groin with perfect precision.

"what--"

In that instant, Uranus let out a scream several times, even hundreds or thousands of times, greater than before.

The agonizing sound echoed throughout the river of time, creating terrifying ripples that destroyed countless moments and spaces.

Seeing this, the once high-spirited God of the Sky suddenly became listless, as if he might sink into the river of time once more.

Clearly, Athena's attack had inflicted extremely fatal damage on the god of the sky.

However, such a powerful attack left Wu Xin and the others, who were unable to intervene, somewhat puzzled.

"Since you have such a method, why is Lady Athena only using it now?"

At that moment, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, perhaps discerned something from Athena's powerful attack and exclaimed in surprise, "That is the 'Scythe of Judgment'!"

"Wasn't it destroyed in the ancient war of the gods?"

How did you end up with something like that?

The 'Scythe of Judgment' is no ordinary weapon, but an extremely special god-slaying artifact, born from the sacrifice of a god-king.

The unfortunate god-king who was sacrificed was Uranus, the god of the sky.

In order to end the rule of the sky god, the previous god-king specially forged the 'Scythe of Judgment' after spying on the sky god's fate, specifically to kill Uranus.

Because Uranus's fate indicated that he was destined to die by the scythe.

The result was a success; the previous God-King successfully used the 'Scythe of Judgment' to kill the God of the Sky.

Because of this act of god-slaying, the 'Scythe of Judgment' underwent a new transformation by offering the sky god as a sacrifice.

Originally, it was a weapon specifically designed to target the god of the sky, but due to its transformation and evolution, it became an even more terrifying god-slaying weapon, capable of inflicting extremely powerful damage on other gods as well.

For this reason, the 'Scythe of Judgment' is greatly feared by the gods.

Later, during the ancient wars of the gods, some deities took the opportunity to destroy this terrifying artifact and scattered its fragments into endless dimensions, causing it to disappear completely from the prime material world.

Persephone never expected that he would see this terrifying forbidden weapon here again.

No wonder Athena's attack just now was able to damage the god of the sky so badly.

If it's a highly targeted special artifact like the 'Scythe of Judgment', then everything makes sense.

"Don't be nervous, that's just a fake I reforged using a fragment of the 'Scythe of Judgment' that I found by chance!" Athena waved her hand and moved closer without leaving a trace.

"Just a fake made from fragments?" Persephone asked incredulously.

She looked once more into the depths of the river of time, her gaze landing on the scythe impaled on the god of the sky.

Sure enough, as the scythe's power was exhausted, the entire scythe turned to ashes and vanished, leaving only an extremely dark fragment still firmly embedded in the sky god's body.

"So it really was just a fake!" Persephone breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, and when she looked down, she saw that a golden spear had pierced through her body.

Athena seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on her.

"you--"

Persephone looked at Athena in disbelief, her face full of confusion and astonishment.

She couldn't understand why Athena would treat her this way.

The two people on the ground were equally puzzled and bewildered.

This sudden turn of events completely stunned them, leaving them frozen in place.

Athena used her divine spear to lift Persephone high into the air, then landed her on the altar left behind by the god of love, and said with a half-smile, "Good sister, this is the offering of several chief gods, plus the resources of a broken world."

"If I could fully absorb this, my strength would not only advance further, but I might even reach the highest realm, the realm of a god above gods!"

"Tell me, who could resist such temptation?"

As she spoke, she skillfully channeled her cosmic power into the altar, easily wresting control of the entire sacrificial ceremony from the sky god.

Furthermore, due to the close connection with the altar, the severely injured sky god was also captured by Athena through a sacrificial ritual and became one of her offerings.

At this moment, combined with Athena's various unusual behaviors, Wuxin suddenly had a terrible guess.

"We've all likely been used and deceived by her!"

Athena's ability to so skillfully control the sacrificial ritual clearly indicates that she had planned it all along.

Adding to that the highly targeted 'Scythe of Judgment', he couldn't help but suspect that Athena might have long been aware of Aphrodite's plan and had prepared a countermeasure from the very beginning, wanting to reap the final fruits of Aphrodite's cultivation.

If we delve deeper into the speculation, it's even possible that Athena's capture by Cupid was just a ploy by him!

This was all to help the god of love accelerate the plan to resurrect the god of the sky!

"Wow--"

Perhaps having guessed the possible answer as well, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, was so enraged that she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You damned bitch, how dare you scheme against us!!"

Persephone was furious and desperately tried to gather strength to fight back against Athena.

However, Athena simply flicked her spear and easily suppressed it, shattering the power she had painstakingly gathered.

With a gentle push, Persephone was pinned by Athena to the same bronze pillar she had previously imprisoned not far away.

"Good sister, please stop struggling!"

"Become my sacrifice obediently!"

"When I reach the level of the supreme god, I will awaken you from the river of time!" Athena had an innocent smile on her face, yet it gave off an indescribable eeriness.

Chapter 562 The Plan Failed

"You slut, you slut, you bitch—"

Persephone roared in fury, his grief and indignation overflowing.

Athena smiled slightly and immediately sealed off all her movements, preventing her from even making a sound.

Upstream in the river of time, Uranus, the god of the sky, was also struggling and resisting, but now the situation has reversed, and no matter how much he struggles, it is in vain and he can no longer change anything.

He even sacrificed his own son, the goddess of love, in order to be resurrected, but now it's just that Athena has benefited from it.

He was filled with extreme grief and indignation, and his roars echoed throughout the river of time.

Athena didn't give him another glance and quickly used the sacrificial array to seize all the supplies prepared by the god of love.

Before her eyes, powerful forces flowed into her body through the sacrificial array, rapidly replenishing her previously weak aura and making it stronger and stronger.

"The situation has changed; we can't wait any longer, let's take action now!"

The situation changed drastically, and Wuxin hurriedly sent a message to Odysseus to warn him, and then subtly moved closer to Athena.

Athena has now fully revealed her ambition. She is no longer the benevolent goddess who can protect the earth, but an evil goddess who is about to sacrifice the world and attempt to go further!

If they fail to act now while the opponent is weakened, they will completely lose any chance once the opponent has fully recovered their strength or even advanced further.

"untie!"

Seeing that the two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, Wu Xin let out a soft shout and took the initiative to remove the Divine Cloth of the Great Lord from his body.

He knew very well that while the God Cloth was an excellent tool for him to deal with other gods, it would become a shackle when facing Athena.

To succeed in one strike, the potential effects of the Saint Cloth must be neutralized beforehand.

"now!"

Immediately afterwards, Wuxin opened his right hand and mobilized the power of his cosmos to inject into the divine power mark that Sasha had left earlier, which had been hidden between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the golden divine spear that had pinned the Queen of the Underworld to the bronze pillar transformed into a beam of golden light and fell into his hand.

"this--"

Persephone, who had just escaped from the sharpshooter's gun, was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Although it still didn't truly free her from the constraints of the sacrificial array, the absence of the divine spear's restriction made her feel much more comfortable.

She just didn't understand what the Giant Saint was up to.

At the same time, Odysseus also tacitly removed his Saint Cloth and activated the divine power mark left by Sasha, manifesting a golden divine shield.
