Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Apart from the Earthly Inferior Star who was killed by Wuxin at the beginning, they only encountered two Specters later on.

Using the power of death as cover, Wu Xin managed to deceive them without any serious danger.

The boundary ahead was peculiar; it wasn't a fixed barrier, but rather a layer of mist-like substance that obscured what lay ahead.

"Let's go!"

After calling out to Tianma, Wuxin led the way into the fog.

It was only then that he realized that it was not ordinary fog, but liquid water droplets condensed from the aura of death.

"Such a dense aura of death! If you bury a corpse here, it will quickly turn into a zombie or some other monster!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's the use of zombies? They're not real resurrections!" Pegasus shook his head.

In the eyes of some ignorant people, zombies are synonymous with resurrection, but as Saint Seiya warriors, they know very well that they are two completely different things.

"You do not understand!"

Wu Xin glanced back at him and laughed, "This death energy isn't just about turning corpses into zombies for me; it's about amplifying the power of my accumulated corpse energy in battles like this!"

"At the same time, this dense aura of death can also serve as a remedy for restoring my strength and accelerate the recovery of my injuries!"

"For me, this is a treasure trove."

"Unfortunately, this is the territory of the underworld!"

As they were talking, the two walked out of the fog-shrouded area.

In fact, the foggy area wasn't very large; they only took four or five steps before they emerged.

They officially entered the second prison, the Hell of Torrential Rain.

Compared to the First Prison, this place presents a completely different scene, with the sky shrouded in dark clouds and a torrential downpour continuing unabated.

Although it was located on the edge of the Second Prison, the rain was relatively light, but each raindrop fell like a meteorite, with extraordinary impact force, striking Wu Xin's armor with clanging sounds.

"This rain is strange!"

While also getting soaked in the rain, Pegasus couldn't help but use his Cosmo power to defend himself.

Even though he was now just a soul, almost completely immune to physical damage, he could still feel the pain of being hit by raindrops in this downpour.

What's even more terrifying is that those raindrops seemed to contain a horrific corrosive power, causing even a soul like his to feel pain.

"There's definitely something wrong with this rain!"

Wu Xin sighed and explained as he walked forward, "The rain here is not ordinary rain, but an extremely heavy type of water with a density far exceeding that of ordinary water."

"At the same time, under the protection of the laws of the underworld, it can also corrode ethereal spirits, specifically punishing those imprisoned here who have committed the crime of greed."

"Even in the afterlife, he doesn't let people rest in peace. Hades is truly despicable!" Pegasus was furious upon hearing this.

"No, no, no, you can't say that!"

Wu Xin shook his head and said seriously, "Although our Holy Domain and the Underworld have fierce conflicts, I personally have no ill will or aversion towards the Underworld or Hell."

"Why is that?" Tianma asked, puzzled.

Continuing forward despite the torrential rain, Wuxin patiently explained, "The punishment in hell is not a deliberate torment, but a reckoning and conclusion of the past of every life."

"Good people are reincarnated smoothly and receive a better next life, while wicked people are punished and made to pay for their sins in this life."

"In a sense, the underworld is a place where good is rewarded and evil is punished."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Tianma felt his worldview shattered.

In his mind, Hades has always been the embodiment of evil, and Hell is a place of sin, which should never be associated with rewarding good and punishing evil.

Surprised?

Wu Xin glanced at Tianma with amusement and continued, "You think Hell is evil only because you've seen the inhumane torture inflicted on the dead here."

"But in reality, if you have the time, you can patiently interrogate the punished spirits here."

"At that time, you will find that they were all a bunch of villains in life, and that they deserved such punishment."

"This...this...this..."

Pegasus was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Wu Xin spoke with such conviction that he believed he wasn't lying, but he still found it difficult to change his previous impression of Hades.

After a long silence, Pegasus finally spoke: "The punishments of hell are too terrible. Even if those souls were sinners in life, I don't think they should be tortured like this!"

"Shouldn't it be like this? You're so naive, Pegasus!"

Wu Xin shook his head and chuckled, "The existence of hellish punishments will at least make those wicked people behave a little and lessen their punishment after death."

"But without the punishment of hell, how unscrupulous do you think they would become?"

"By then, the entire human world will probably turn into hell!"

Upon hearing this, Tianma's expression immediately changed.

Having been an orphan since childhood, he often mingled at the very bottom of society, and he knew very well just how dark the bottom of society was.

If those villains knew that there would be no punishment after death, who knows what they would do.

At that moment, he completely corrected his shallow understanding of the underworld and hell.

Wu Xin sighed and continued, "Of course, the existence of the underworld and hell has some rationale, but that doesn't mean that the King of the Underworld is suitable to rule the human world!"

"This is also the origin of the conflict between the Underworld and the Holy Land!"

"I see!" Pegasus suddenly realized.

These were things he had never heard of before, and they raised his understanding of holy war to a whole new level.

Meanwhile, after a long and fruitless search in the First Prison, Luni, the commander of the First Prison, noticed something was wrong.

"You reported to me earlier that you had discovered traces of Pegasus, so how come it suddenly disappeared?" He frowned and questioned his Specter subordinates below.

Previously, although they hadn't captured Pegasus, at least some fragmented news had come back. But now there's been absolutely no news, it's as if he's completely vanished, making it hard not to be suspicious.

The Specters looked each other over, and finally one of them mustered up the courage to step forward.

“Sir, we suspect that Pegasus has already left the First Prison!” he replied, bowing his head.

"Left the First Prison?" Luni asked, somewhat surprised.

The man continued, "Shortly after we last received news from Pegasus, Earthly Inferiority also disappeared. All we found was his tattered battle suit."

"There is no doubt that he was killed."

"We went to the River of Three Crossings again to confirm, and Charon from the Celestial Star told us that no one has returned to the Gates of Hell recently."

"Therefore, we speculate that Pegasus has gone deeper into Hell, and may have already entered the Second Hell."

"A second prison?"

Luni tapped the table lightly, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Continue the search in the First Prison, and also send the message to Farao on the Second Prison, the Beast Star."

"Tell him that Pegasus is the target designated by Lord Hypnos and Lord Thanatos, and that he must be captured!"

"Yes!"

The Specters breathed a sigh of relief and then retreated.

Soon, the news reached the Second Prison.

"That Luni guy is really incompetent! So many people couldn't catch a single Pegasus, and instead he escaped to the Second Prison. What a waste!" Pharaoh sat by the window, strumming his harp, his tone anything but polite.

Then, without giving the messenger another glance, he turned to look at a corner of the temple.

"Cerberus, wake up! Come with me to find someone!"

With a soft call, six red eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure emerged.

It was a giant dog with gray fur and three heads, the mythical monster Cerberus.

Perhaps because he was suddenly woken up and was a bit grumpy, Cerberus roared and pounced on several Specters who had come from the First Hell to deliver the message.

"Do not--"

"don't want--"

"Help! Lord Pharaoh!"

Sensing danger, several Specters hurriedly retreated and loudly appealed for help from Pharaoh, the commander of this prison.

Unfortunately, Farao didn't even glance at them, simply uttering a few words before walking toward the gate on his own.

"Cerberus is a bit grumpy when he wakes up. Just let him vent it. Anyway, you can all be resurrected!"

Upon hearing this, the Specters felt a chill run down their spines.

They can indeed be resurrected, but the pain of being killed is real, and no one wants to experience death, even if they themselves are Specters who represent death.

In an instant, they fled even faster.

Unfortunately, their strength was far from sufficient to face such a mythical monster.

Before they could escape the temple, Cerberus caught up with them and easily chewed them up and swallowed them whole.

"Alright, my little darling, you shouldn't be angry now, right?" Pharaoh stepped forward and gently plucked the strings of his harp.

Ding-dong-

A melodious tune then began to play, echoing throughout the temple. The previously enraged Cerberus gradually calmed down and obediently crouched beside Pharaoh.

Seeing this, Celestial Beast Star Pharaoh stopped playing and ordered his subordinates, "Pass down the order to all Specters and Ghost Messengers to move out and search for any suspicious persons who have entered the Second Prison!"

Immediately, the previously quiet Second Prison became busy.
