At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 637 Saint Seiya Ancient
The arrival of the Gold Cloth was like an unbreakable dam, instantly cutting off the energy torrent that was about to burst its banks.

The power that was originally being unleashed outwards was forcibly restrained and contained by the incomprehensible laws within the Saint Cloth, and forced back into Ko's body.

"This is……!"

Above the sky, the smile on the face of the elegant, holy deity of all races froze completely, replaced by a complex expression of horror and greed.

He recognized the armor, or rather, he recognized a creation of this caliber!

This is a creation approaching the level of a primordial spiritual treasure...

Although he didn't understand why a mere human, an ant who hadn't even reached the level of a saint, could gain the recognition of an innate spiritual treasure.

However, reality did not give him more time to think.

Gu has regained control of his body.

He could clearly feel that within the Saint Cloth, a gentle yet vast will was guiding the annihilation energy within him, capable of destroying everything, taming it from a raging beast into a thunderbolt in his palm.

He raised his right fist, which was covered by golden arm armor, and the energy conversion power that was about to burst his body was now concentrated there.

Above the fist, space began to show unstable folds, like a thin sheet of paper being kneaded by an invisible hand.

"escape!"

Alarm bells rang in the hearts of the Holy Ones of All Races, and their long-cultivated combat instincts roared wildly.

He could no longer maintain his elegance and composure; his saintly divine power erupted without reservation, attempting to tear through space and teleport himself.

But it's too late.

The moment Gu's gaze locked onto it, the surrounding space seemed to be welded shut by an invisible force, becoming even more solid than divine metal.

Compared to Gu, his speed was as slow as a poorly executed silent film.

Gu's figure disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear; rather, its speed surpassed light, exceeding the limits that the divine sense of this holy deity could capture.

The next instant, the Holy One of All Races felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure descend upon his chest.

The protective divine light he hastily gathered, powerful enough to withstand the impact of stars, was as fragile as the morning mist before that seemingly ordinary golden fist, dissipating at the slightest touch.

"Click——"

The crisp cracking sound did not come from his shield, but from his proud holy body.

Immediately afterwards, it wasn't just his divine body that was shattered.

Centered on the fist, space shattered like a mirror struck by a boulder! Countless dark cracks spread like a spider web, but what surged from the cracks was not turbulent void, but... the most primordial chaos!
Earth, fire, water, wind!

The four basic elements that make up this world are now being brutally stripped from the stable spacetime structure by absolute power, turning into violent energy tides that reenact the scene at the beginning of the universe.

Time loses its meaning here, space becomes nothingness, the concepts of matter and energy are confused, and everything returns to the most primordial state of "primordial chaos".

"No...this is impossible...breaking the law with force, returning to the origin...a mere mortal..."

This was the last thought of the Holy One of All Races who remained in the world.

His soul and sacred body, along with all his understanding of the laws, were completely obliterated and decomposed in this primordial chaos, transforming into the purest earth, fire, water, and wind, leaving not even a trace of his existence.

……

Deep in the distant underworld, Zhang Qi, who had already merged with the Wheel of Reincarnation, gazed silently at the spatial wound on the primordial land that was slowly healing, as if his gaze had pierced through endless dimensions of time and space.

"That really is... a move that brings back fond memories."

He let out a soft sigh; the principle behind this move was exactly the same as Zheng Zha's destruction.

Simply put, this move is the most typical example of using great force to send bricks flying.

Conventional martial arts aim to inflict maximum damage with minimal force, but Nagu's strike transforms everything into power and then blasts it out.

However, Gu's body couldn't withstand such an attack; without the protection of the Gold Cloth, it would only result in mutual destruction.
Along with the Saint Cloth, his optimized [Minicosmic Cultivation Method], based on the rules of this universe, was also transmitted.

Its core is to regard the human body as a large universe independent of the outside world, and to open up a corresponding "microcosm" within the body through visualization and cultivation.

The foundation for building this microcosm is the power of magnetic fields, which are the most fundamental force in the material world.

Based on this, a microcosm can be built within the human body, thereby resonating with the macrocosm outside. Theoretically, this is the path to directly reach the ultimate realm of the inner universe.

Like the method he taught Ye, it was an experiment...

……

On the primordial land, the earth, fire, water, and wind gradually subsided, and the shattered space slowly repaired itself under the mighty power of the world's laws. Gu breathed heavily, and his golden holy armor disintegrated on its own with a "crack," transforming back into a stream of light that disappeared into his body. An unprecedented sense of weakness swept over him, but his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

He could feel that deep within his soul, there was a golden mark, like the constellation Virgo.

Within the imprint, besides the grand will to protect all things, there also flows a vast amount of information.

"Use your body as the universe, ignite the stars within..."

Gu murmured to himself, a sudden, profound realization washing over him.

"Thank you, teacher..."

Gu bowed deeply to the empty sky.

Although he didn't know where his teacher was, he knew that his teacher was watching him.

He turned around and looked at the hundred or so tribesmen behind him who were still stunned, their emotions shifting from extreme fear to extreme shock. He took a deep breath and calmed his turbulent emotions.

"It's alright, everyone. The enemies who were chasing us are dead."

His voice was hoarse from exhaustion, yet it possessed a calming power.

"Let's keep moving forward."

Now that they have mastered greater power, they no longer need to hide and live in fear day and night as before.

He recalled what his seniors in the army had mentioned about the last hope for humanity—the human city.

That is their true home.

Although he longed to return immediately to find his sister, he knew even more clearly that he carried the future of over a hundred lives on his shoulders.

And so, led by Gu, the team of survivors embarked on their journey once again.

Several days later, as they crossed a desolate mountain range, they encountered another group that was fleeing in panic.

It was a refugee wave of several thousand people, each with a deep-seated fear on their face, as if the most terrifying monster in the world was chasing them.

Behind them, on the ground, an indescribable behemoth, composed of countless twisted flesh and pale bones, was writhing and pursuing them.

The thing had no fixed shape; it was like a living pool of flesh and blood. Wherever it passed, the earth was corroded and scorched black, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

"Help!"

"Monster! It's the 'Flesh Plague'!"

The crowd let out a shrill wail. The refugees who were slow to run were pulled into the tentacles that extended from the fleshy monster. Before they could even scream, they were devoured and assimilated, becoming part of the monster.

Gu's eyes instantly turned cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed his beast bone spear and charged forward in a flash.

He swung his spear, gathering all his strength, and a sharp glint ripped through the sky, precisely cleaving the enormous fleshy monster in two.

However, the next moment, a scene that plunged the survivors into despair unfolded.

The monster that had been cut open began to grow fleshy buds wildly from its wounds, and within just one or two breaths, it healed completely, returning to its original state. In fact, its size had even increased because it had just devoured dozens of people.

"Physical attacks are ineffective?"

Gu frowned deeply.

He could sense that the monster had no vital organs in the traditional sense; each of its cells possessed independent vitality, and it could only be destroyed in an instant.

Gu no longer hesitated, and a thought arose in his mind.

"Wow--"

Shining with golden light, the Virgo Gold Cloth was donned once more.

He no longer used his spear, but instead adopted a boxing stance.

Golden light coalesced on his right fist. This time, it was no longer a violent conversion of matter and energy, but a more subtle and restrained power. It was the power of his microcosm, which he had begun to grasp, highly condensing his strength to cause destruction at the most microscopic level.

He punched out.

There was no earth-shattering display of power, only a golden fist beam condensed to its extreme, which instantly traversed the distance and imprinted itself on the core of the flesh-and-blood monster.

In an instant, the enormous flesh-and-blood monster froze. Then, from the point where the fist struck, its massive body began to silently disintegrate and collapse, turning into the finest dust that drifted away in the wind.

This punch completely erased it at the molecular level...
