At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 459 The Will of Man

"Oh?"

Seeing Asmita in his divine robes, Typhon's usually cold face showed a hint of surprise for the first time.

The eighth sense, a power that only a select few could awaken even in the age of mythology…

"Interesting... Can mortals these days really reach this level?"

Typhon's deep voice carried a hint of amusement, but he was not alarmed.

Even the cosmos of the eighth sense is nothing to him.

The next moment, Typhon opened his arms, and flames and storms, two completely different yet equally destructive forces, erupted in an instant.

The crimson torrent of lava intertwined with the pitch-black storm of destruction, forming a terrifying pillar of energy that pierced the heavens and earth, crushing towards Asmita!

Space is as fragile as paper in the face of this force, constantly breaking and annihilating!
Asmita's expression was solemn, and his divine robes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

"All things are impermanent, subject to arising and ceasing... Heavenly Dance of the Jewel Wheel!"

He clasped his hands together, and a magnificent chant resounded through the sky.

The golden Buddha phantom behind him also moved, its enormous palm meeting the earth-shattering energy pillar!

This is the [Heavenly Dance Wheel], which has been infused with the power of the Divine Cloth and sublimated to its ultimate form!
The golden sacred domain expanded instantly, becoming more solid and expansive than before, radiating a sacred power that could purify all evil and suppress all turmoil!

boom------!!!!!!

The pillars of fire and storm energy crashed violently against the golden sacred domain!
This time, the Heavenly Dance Wheel did not shatter instantly as it had before.

The golden domain was like an indestructible barrier, forcefully blocking Typhon's attack!

Sacred Sanskrit flowed at the edge of the realm, constantly eroding the violent elemental power.

"oh?!"

Typhon finally showed an expression of disbelief.

“I told you, Typhon, the evil god, your ambition ends here.”

Asmita took a deep breath and shouted.

"Ha~"

Typhon laughed upon hearing this, and the next moment the entire island of Sicily began to tremble violently!

Endless power of the earth converged upon his body like a tidal wave!

His already enormous body began to expand, and his inner universe became even more terrifying and violent!

"Feel the wrath of the Earth Goddess!"

Typhon roared, his dark diamond robes emitting a blinding light.

That was the wrath of the Earth Goddess who gave birth to him in the face of the betrayal of the Olympian gods, seeking revenge.

……

Meanwhile, the altar ruins

The battle was drawing to a close when Pegasus's fist pierced through Yoma's chest.

Goodbye... Father.

Pegasus spoke his last words with a sense of relief.

The wreath's light remained warm, and Athena's cosmos completely dispelled the mental control that Yoma had placed upon him.

But that illusion was indeed what he longed for most. After all, the guy in front of him was the father who brought him into this world.

But that's all...

Aaron stood beside Pegasus, silently witnessing the final moments of this father and son.

This was the last thing he could do as a friend of Pegasus...

Defteros also managed to stand up, his Gemini God Cloth dimming, clearly indicating a huge drain on his energy, but his gaze toward Yoma was full of vigilance.

"..."

As Yao Ma looked at the resolute Pegasus, the madness and distortion on his face gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable complex emotion.

There was the resentment of a failed plan, the disappointment of being completely rejected by his son, and even... a trace of deep-seated regret that he himself was unwilling to admit.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Yao Ma suddenly chuckled, his laughter tinged with self-mockery and madness.

"What a... boring ending..."

The time ripples on his body reappeared, but this time, they were no longer for repairing injuries.

His body began to become transparent, like a phantom about to dissipate.

"Pegasus...remember...gods...are not to be trusted..."

"One day... you'll understand... I was right..."

The fragmented words sounded like a curse, yet also like a father's final reminder to his son.

Yao Ma's figure vanished completely amidst the distorted ripples of time.

There were no earth-shattering explosions, no heart-wrenching screams.

He just vanished into thin air...

It's like it never existed.

Did they die? Or did they use the power of time to escape to another dimension?
no one knows.

Pegasus stared at the spot where Yoma had disappeared, and remained silent for a moment.

Then he took a deep breath, and his eyes regained their resolve.

"Let's go! Let's go help Mr. Asmita!"

After saying that, they prepared to head deeper into the island.

however.

at this time!

Boom boom boom——!!!
A pressure far more terrifying and despairing than before suddenly descended!

The entire island of Sicily, no, the entire Earth, seemed to tremble under this oppressive force!

The sky instantly turned pitch black, as if it had been soaked through with invisible ink.

The earth cracked violently, spewing forth magma as if the end of the world had arrived.

In space, centered on Earth, a massive gravitational force begins to spread, capturing countless meteorites.

As spacetime began to distort, countless meteorites suddenly appeared outside the atmosphere and fell toward Earth.

The meteorite's surface was ablaze with flames, and its friction with the atmosphere produced a deafening explosion.

"This... madman..."

Defteros was horrified, staring at the sky-covering meteor shower, and cursed angrily.

"Is it over...is everything over?"

Aaron muttered to himself, his face pale.

A meteor shower of this scale is beyond what humans can withstand.

If any one of these planets were to fall to Earth, it would be a catastrophe capable of destroying the world for humanity.

Pegasus gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Just then, a golden barrier enveloped the entire Earth, barely delaying the meteorite's onslaught.

“Ashmita…”

Feeling this microcosm, Defteros exclaimed in disbelief.

As expected of the man closest to God, he was able to stop a meteorite of this size, even if only for a moment.

"No! It's not over yet!"

Upon seeing this, Pegasus shouted, and the wings of his divine armor unfurled, transforming into a stream of light that soared into the sky.

I have to do something, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, to stop this meteorite!

"Pegasus?!"

Aaron and Defteros were startled, and they ignited their own inner universes to keep up with Pegasus's pace.

Three golden streaks of light, against the direction of the falling meteorite, rushed headlong into the world-ending catastrophe!
……

The very front of the meteorite impact.

Asmita has done his utmost.

The golden Buddha phantom behind him dimmed and became illusory, and the light of the Heavenly Dance Wheel trembled as if it would shatter at any moment.

Fine cracks began to appear on the Virgo God Cloth...

Even those who are closest to God still have limits...

But he still didn't give up.

Because one should absolutely not die in this way, for this reason...

"Om—!!!"

An even more magnificent chant erupted from Asmita's mouth.

Under the power of the microcosm, atoms begin to compress, followed by a reaction called nuclear fusion.

Countless explosions resounded in the sky...

"Useless, ants! Before my power, all your efforts are in vain!"

Typhon's voice rang out, and then, under the influence of the gravitational field, the situation began to distort out of control. The countless flames of the explosion were instantly extinguished…

He could sense that the Gold Saint in front of him had reached his limit, and his resistance was destined to be futile!

Click——! ! !
A crisp cracking sound was heard.

Virgo's sacred armor is utterly shattered!
Golden fragments scattered and danced in all directions, like withered petals, filled with a sense of tragic grandeur and poignant beauty.

With his divine robes shattered, Asmita's body was directly exposed to the oppressive force of the meteorite.

He groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his body swaying precariously as if he might collapse at any moment.

Just as Asmita was about to be swallowed by the meteorite.

Three golden streaks of light, like sharp swords slicing through the darkness, instantly pierced the sky and arrived beside him.

It's Pegasus, Aaron, and Defteros!
"Mr. Asmita! We're here to help you!"

Pegasus roared, igniting its entire universe.

With the addition of new forces, the cracks in the precarious barrier of the Heavenly Dance Wheel were instantly healed.

"What a... boring show..."

Typhon shook his head, and under his will, the Earth's gravity instantly increased hundreds of times.

Affected by this, the expressions of Tianma and the others who were still holding on changed instantly.

The golden barrier that had blocked the meteorite shattered instantly...

An atmosphere of despair permeated the air.

Everyone looked up at the approaching meteorite, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Just then, someone suddenly knelt down, put their hands together, and prayed to the sky.

"God...please save us..."

"Saints...please protect us..."

One, two, three...

More and more people knelt down and began to pray.

They may have different beliefs or different backgrounds, but at this moment, they all did the same thing and made a common prayer.

For survival, for hope, and to protect everything you cherish!
Pray to the Saints who have protected them since the age of mythology!

Countless prayers converged, like trickles of water flowing into rivers, and finally transformed into a vast and boundless ocean!

A miracle happened.

The prayers seemed to coalesce into tiny points of starlight in the air, rising slowly like fireflies.

Within the pillar of light lies unparalleled hope and faith, the purest and most powerful spiritual force of humankind!
My prayers have transformed into a microcosm!
"This...this is?!"

Pegasus stared at his hands in shock.

"It's humanity's prayer! Everyone is praying for us!"

Aaron also felt that warm inner universe and couldn't help but feel excited.

With the support of this power, their inner universes broke through the limits of the eighth sense.

With the aid of this force, the countless meteorites were instantly broken down into the most basic particles...

"Do not make jokes!"

Seeing this, Typhon couldn't hold back anymore. His plan, which he had been preparing for so long, had failed because of such a ridiculous reason. How could he accept this?
Seeing the severely injured Pegasus and the others, Typhon's anger reached its peak, and he threw a punch at the Saints who were trying to stop him.

"not good!"

Seeing the enormous fist hurtling towards them, Pegasus's expression changed. He tried to block it, but he couldn't even move a finger.

The battle with Yoma in his God Cloth form, along with the power he just unleashed, had pushed him to his limit.

But at that moment, Asmita and Defteros stepped forward and blocked Pegasus and Aaron's path.

"Wait, you guys..."

Pegasus was startled, realizing that the two Gold Saints were trying to sacrifice themselves to buy them time.

But before he could finish speaking, a force pushed him and Aaron toward the Earth.

"Seriously, you'd better give me a long vacation this time, Zhang Qi!"

Defteros touched his head, and a golden cosmos ignited around him.

His mission this time was to protect Pegasus and Aaron, so naturally he wouldn't let the targets he was protecting die first.

"Heh~ Is that all you ask for?"

Just then, a thought resounded throughout the universe.

Then a figure appeared and stood in front of Defteros and Asmita.

Then he reached out his hand towards Typhon's enormous fist...

The strike, imbued with the force of infinite gravity, came to a halt before this palm.

"Zhang Qi?! You..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Defteros was both surprised and delighted, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Um……"

Asmita nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is unknown what happened to his disciple during the period when they were out of contact.

But the timing of its appearance wasn't too late...

"you……"

Typhon was also taken aback, completely baffled as to how the other party had managed to escape through the crack in time.

……

Earth, Sanctuary

Artemis fell silent as she watched the battle unfolding in outer space.

She had seen everything that had just happened.

The falling meteorite, and humanity's intervention to stop it all...

All the images were deeply imprinted in her mind, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

"Unbelievable... that humans possess such immense power..."

Artemis murmured to herself, "Since the age of mythology, the gods who have grasped the will of the gods have protected and guided humankind."

Compared to them, human life is far too fragile...

But now, just as Zhang Qi said, even without their intervention, humanity is capable of resolving the crisis on its own.

This shouldn't be happening...

"Is it hard to believe, Sister Artemis?"

Looking at Artemis, Sasha smiled and stepped forward to ask.

"..."

Artemis remained silent.

"In the past, it was the gods who protected mankind and endowed them with wisdom and civilization."

Humans at that time were like ignorant children, needing guidance from their parents.

But sister, children will eventually grow up...

Seeing this, Sasha continued.

"Is this why you have chosen to protect humanity time and time again, even in your mortal form?"

After a moment of silence, Artemis asked in return.

"Yes, I believe that one day they will be able to transcend the will of the gods with their own will and take control of their own destiny..."

Sasha nodded and then looked up at the sky.

Outside of space, the battle has also come to an end.
"Why... do you also have the protection of the earth..."

At the last moment of his life, Typhon asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps...because Earth is humanity's home..."

Zhang Qi thought about it and replied.

Because of the God of War world, he can command the power of the earth.

This is how Typhon sealed the moon—by using gravity to warp spacetime.

With the same power, cracking the code is naturally not difficult.

However, in order to prove to Artemis that humanity has the ability to solve problems on its own, he did not take direct action...

"Stop...stop joking..."

The earth... should belong to us..."

As Typhon spoke, filled with resentment, he gradually disappeared into the universe.

At the same time, a stream of light flew out from his body and merged into Zhang Qi's body.

That is the will of the earth in the Saint Seiya world...
