Chapter 44: The Underworld Vortex, Athena’s Sacred Spear
“How is this possible?”
At the same time, Saga, who was far away in the Pope’s Palace, sensed the movement of the Gemini Cloth and stood up directly from the Pope’s throne, his eyes full of disbelief.
In the Capricorn Palace, located in the tenth palace of the zodiac, a man wearing a golden cloth with no emotion on his face slowly walked out from the depths of the palace.
“So soon, Gemini has found its new master. Could it be that Saga… are you really dead?” Staring at the golden light flying from the Gemini Palace to the direction of the arena, the man’s eyes flashed with a touch of emotion, and the last bit of luck in his heart completely dissipated.
At the same time, all the Saints in the entire Sanctuary couldn’t help but raise their heads and look at the direction where the Gemini Cloth flew.
Swoosh!
The shining golden armor descended, accompanied by a series of clicks, and all the parts of the armor disintegrated and covered Lin Fan. In the blink of an eye, a majestic figure wearing a golden armor stood in the sight of Mu and others in the arena, causing everyone to become stunned.
“Gemini Gold Armor, how is this possible, Saga…”
Aphrodite of Pisces was horrified and almost exposed Saga’s secret. Fortunately, at the last moment, he woke up in time and closed his mouth.
But his heart was still full of shock and confusion.
Why did Saga’s Gemini Gold Armor suddenly appear on Lin Fan? Is this a hint from Saga that Lin Fan in front of them is one of them?
As Saga’s helper in launching the rebellion, Aphrodite knew clearly that the current pope of the Sanctuary was Saga’s fake, and the so-called pursuit of Aiolos and being killed by Shura’s holy sword was just a play written and directed by Saga himself.
Even when Saga announced Lin Fan as the new Gemini candidate in the name of the pope, Aphrodite guessed that it was Saga’s means to cover up the truth.
But now, the Gemini Gold Cloth appeared on Lin Fan, making Aphrodite doubt that Lin Fan in front of him was Saga’s man.
After all, in addition to awakening the constellation destiny and the authority of the pope, the saints who were recognized by the gold cloth could also temporarily give the wearing rights of the gold cloth to others.
Similarly, Deathmask at this moment also became surprised, and obviously thought the same as Aphrodite.
But the next second he suddenly turned ferocious and roared: “Damn brat, don’t think that I will show mercy just because you are wearing Saga’s Gemini Gold Cloth…Go to hell…The corpse gas destroys the underworld wave.”
The terrifying microcosm that was stronger than Deathmask’s previous one surged out of his body, and in an instant, it expanded the original underworld vortex channel to more than three times. Even Mu, Camus and others standing in the distance all changed their faces, because they all noticed that a powerful attraction surged out from the underworld vortex, and even they who were not marked by the dead souls were being pulled towards the vortex.
“Deathmask, you forced me to do this.!”
The small universe in Lin Fan’s body burned rapidly, and the Gemini Cloth covering his body burst into a light far brighter than the sun.
When his small universe burned to the limit, his hands moved upward along an arc from the bottom to the top of his head. A galaxy with countless bright stars gradually appeared behind him along with his arm movements. When his hands closed above his head again, the galaxy with countless stars had gathered at the place where his hands closed, like an infinitely compressed galaxy.
“Take it, Gemini’s strongest secret – Galaxy Starburst! ”
Lin Fan’s roar resounded through the sky like thunder. His body shook suddenly, and his hands swung forward from above like a god guiding the stars.
At this moment, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. Countless stars of different colors and dazzling brilliance burst out from his palms. They intertwined and rotated, and finally gathered into an indescribable vast force, carrying a destructive momentum, like the Milky Way pouring down, crashing head-on into Deathmask and the underworld vortex above his head.
The underworld vortex seemed to feel threatened, and dark purple energy surged in the depths of the vortex, colliding with the star power of the Milky Way starburst. Collided.
Boom!
A deafening roar, as if the heaven and earth were trembling at this moment.
The galaxy starburst and the purple energy intertwined, bursting out with dazzling light, instantly engulfing the entire arena. Its powerful shock wave was centered on the two people, raging wildly, and wherever it passed, the space was distorted and the matter was annihilated.
The four people who were watching the game, Mu, Camus, Aphrodite and Aiolia, suddenly changed their faces. Almost at the same time, their figures were like four streams of light, turning into meteors in the void, and rushed towards the periphery.
They looked back and saw that Lin Fan was still in the arena. The figure of Deathmask had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only a huge purple vortex filled with chaotic destructive power with a diameter of 100 meters.
The purple vortex, like the mouth of a cosmic beast, was filled with deep purple light, with a terrifying pulling force that twisted the surrounding air into pieces.
The paladins who had not yet left, the soldiers who happened to be patrolling nearby, and some silver candidates were captured by this sudden force and flew into the rotating vortex abyss involuntarily.
“Ah…”
“What is this Ah…”
Their eyes were full of fear and despair. They struggled hard, but they were like ants trying to shake a tree. They could not resist the pulling force from the vortex.
When these figures were pulled to only tens of meters away from the vortex, a strange white light suddenly burst out from their eyes. Then, their bodies lost their vitality. Their eyes drooped empty, as if their souls had been drained.
At this moment, white gas masses slowly floated out of their bodies. These gas masses contained the essence of life and the power of the soul. They were ruthlessly swallowed by the vortex and finally disappeared in the depths of the purple vortex.
“No, that’s the power of the law of the underworld.” Aries Mu cried out in shock.
As soon as this was said, the other gold saints all changed color.
As saints, they were all familiar with the four words “law of the underworld”, because it was the law mastered by Hades, the enemy of the Sanctuary.
“Damn, what did Deathmask do?” Leo Aiolia roared first.
“It must be destroyed quickly, otherwise the souls of all the people in the Sanctuary will be swallowed by it!” Aquarius Camus’ voice was full of unquestionable determination.
Hearing this, the other saints nodded one after another, because they found that the purple vortex was constantly expanding while swallowing souls. It has expanded from the original diameter of 100 meters to 150 meters. If it is delayed any longer, it may become a huge vortex that can swallow the entire Sanctuary.
“Then act quickly, don’t delay!”
As Aiolia took the lead in burning the microcosm, Camus and others also burned.
Just as the group of gold saints were about to take action, the sky suddenly changed.
Boom!
There was a loud noise in the sky above the sanctuary, and then the huge statue of Athena located on the top of the holy mountain, behind the Pope’s Palace, seemed to come alive, with an unparalleled bright golden light blooming all over the body. Then a golden spear condensed with a sacred aura appeared out of thin air above the head of the statue, and then the golden spear tip pointed directly at the raging purple vortex and stabbed it.
“Swoosh!”
The golden spear cut through the sky, and the speed was so fast that even the gold saints whose reaction ability reached the speed of light could not see it clearly. It was still on the top of the distant holy mountain the moment before, and the next second it crossed space and time and shot into the purple vortex accurately.
There was no violent collision as expected. The golden spear was like a sharp blade cutting through thin paper, easily penetrating the vortex, leaving a dazzling light track.
In an instant, the pulling force from the purple vortex was cut off, and the purple vortex began to tremble violently, with dense cracks appearing on the surface, spreading rapidly like a spider web, foreshadowing its imminent collapse.
“Hehe, Athena…”
A burst of extremely cold laughter suddenly came from the other end of the vortex.
This laughter was like a cold wind in winter, making everyone who heard it shiver involuntarily. Then the purple vortex seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of this sacred power. With a “bang”, it completely shattered like a broken mirror, turning into countless purple light spots and dissipating in the world.
As the vortex disappeared, the oppressive atmosphere also dissipated, as if everything had returned to calm. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
If it weren’t for the ruined arena, the fallen soldiers, and the bodies of the paladins whose souls had been sucked into the underworld, everyone would have thought that what had just happened was an illusion.
“Phew, that was close, luckily the goddess Athena was here!” Mu said with lingering fear.
The other Saints also nodded. After all, they didn’t know if they could close the underworld tunnel just by joining forces.
At the same time, they also understood that the spear from the goddess statue just now must have been a backup plan arranged by Athena to prevent the Sanctuary from being invaded when the Sanctuary was established.
“But Deathmask and Lin Fan will be in trouble.” []
Camus turned his head and looked at the bodies of the Paladins and soldiers lying on the ground in the distance, whose souls were sucked into the vortex, and smiled bitterly: “It’s fine if they violated the ban on private fighting, but they also killed so many people. I don’t know how severe the Pope will punish them.”
“They asked for the punishment!”
Daedalus of the Cepheus throne replied with some dissatisfaction, and then looked up at Mu and other gold saints, you also have responsibilities. If you didn’t stop them from fighting, it would not have caused such a large number of casualties.
If the Athena statue hadn’t taken action just now, not only the Paladins and the soldiers would have died, but even the silver candidates who had been trained with great difficulty might have suffered casualties.
Although Lin Fan and Deathmask were the culprits, Mu and other gold saints who watched the two fight more and more fiercely were also responsible.
Hearing Daedalus’ accusation, Mu and others looked a little embarrassed and guilty.
At this time, Noaisis of the Triangle heard Daedalus’ dissatisfaction and persuaded with a wry smile: “Okay, Daedalus, I don’t think they thought it would reach this level at the beginning. Let’s find Lin Fan and Deathmask first. After all, the Sanctuary can’t afford to lose two gold saints.”
After a pause, Noaisis turned his head to look at the ruins of the arena, and murmured with a puzzled look: “It’s just that since the arena was destroyed just now, I haven’t felt the two people’s microcosms anymore. This is a bit strange…”
In an instant, Noaisis’s expression was stunned, and the other saints all changed their faces one by one. At this time, they suddenly remembered that the initiators of this catastrophe – Lin Fan and Deathmask, had never appeared again after the final ultimate bombardment.
An ominous premonition spread to everyone’s heart like ice. They looked at each other at the same time. Without saying anything, they turned around tacitly and rushed to the depths of the arena, which had become a ruin.
Stepping into the ruins, the whole place was devastated. There was almost no intact area. Even the platform where the Pope spoke just now was completely turned into rubble.
The breeze blew through the broken stone pillars, making a whimpering sound, as if even nature was wailing for the destruction of the arena.
“No… This is impossible!” Daedalus’ voice trembled slightly. He looked around and tried to catch the two figures in this chaos, but it was in vain.
Camus, who was always known for his calmness, could not hide his pale face at this moment, and a touch of unprecedented solemnity flashed in his eyes. Aiolia clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.
“Will they be sucked into the underworld? That’s…”
AhBrody’s exclamation cut through the air, with an undisguised panic. He didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident. Every word weighed heavily on everyone’s mind.
The Underworld… That was the base camp of the Hades Army. Once they fell into it, even the Golden Saints would find it difficult to escape unscathed, not to mention that they had no idea how to enter the Underworld.
“There shouldn’t be any!”
Mu said in a deep voice: “The Underworld vortex just now can only be entered in the soul state, while the physical body was left in place, but here… there is no physical body of Lin Fan and Deathmask.”
But that’s what he said, but Miao and others looked deeply worried.
After all, the explosion in the arena just now was so powerful, who knows if they were blown to pieces.
For a moment, a heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed. Lin Fan felt a flash in front of his eyes. A huge volcano appeared in front of him. At a glance, countless empty eyes, mouths open and undead who kept making sounds that were not human, climbed towards the crater in a rigid manner, and then stepped into the crater.
Looking around again, he found himself in a desolate world that seemed to be forgotten by time.
The gray-brown land was full of cracks. In the distance were rolling desolate hills. The sky was a depressing lead gray, without any life.
Lin Fan’s eyes shrank sharply. He recognized at a glance that the place under his feet was one of the most famous attractions in Saint Seiya…Yoki Hirasaka!
“Hmm?” There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him. Lin Fan turned around and threw a light-speed punch instantly!
“Bang!” With a loud bang, a red-haired handsome guy appeared behind Lin Fan and easily took his light-speed punch.
The tight black leather jacket, the muscle lines are faintly visible under the tight clothes, the whole body exudes an unruly breath, the red hair dances wildly in the wind, like a burning flame, especially the terrifying microcosm surrounding the body, which makes Lin Fan, who has obtained the microcosm of Aiolos and Aspros, secretly on guard.
The last time he felt this way was when he was in the evil personality of Saga.
“Hahaha, don’t be so nervous, I’m not an enemy!” The red-haired man waved at Lin Fan a few times and said with a smile: “I’m just here to clean up the mess for my stupid apprentice!”
After saying that, he casually raised his hand, and a figure fell from the empty left side.
Lin Fan secretly burned his microcosm and was alert, his eyes slightly lowered, and when he finally fixed on that figure, his eyes were slightly startled.
That figure turned out to be Deathmask who had fought with him before.
But at this moment, Deathmask was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, obviously in a coma, and the cracks on his Cancer Gold Cloth still told of the fierceness of the previous battle.
“You said you are Deathmask’s teacher?” Lin Fan stared at the red-haired man again, with a look of suspicion.
There are many unsolved mysteries in the plot of Saint Seiya, including who is the teacher of the Gold Saints?Among the previously known information in the world, the only confirmed one was Aries Mu, who was a disciple of the previous Aries and former Pope Shion, but there was no mention of who trained the other Gold Saints.
“Yes!” The red-haired man nodded, then turned around and mercilessly kicked Deathmask in the waist while he was lying on the ground unconscious.
Deathmask’s body flew several meters away in an instant like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
“Ah!”
A cry of pain broke the silence. Deathmask sat up suddenly, holding his waist, looking at the red-haired man who was kicking with disbelief, and roared in the next second: “Distor, are you crazy? You dare to kick me!”
Distor glanced at him coldly: “Kicking you is a light punishment! I warned you long ago that if your microcosm has not reached the eighth sense, don’t use that trick!”
Deathmask grimaced in pain and was furious: “I didn’t want to do it either, but it was that soldier who said I only knew one move of the underworld wave, and I was so angry that I forgot what you said…”
Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed Lin Fan next to him and stopped talking. .
