Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Then a huge, lifelike celestial dragon was suddenly swung out from Ye's fist.

"Wodan": 'This move is—!!'

"Lushan - Rising Dragon Fist -!!!" Boom!!! Accompanied by that familiar move, the one that once reversed the flow of the torrential rain in the sky, it was performed once again before our eyes.

Those who haven't witnessed that scene firsthand simply cannot comprehend how terrifying it was—the ultimate skill that pushed the boundaries of martial arts.

With just his martial arts skills, he could create a phenomenon that seemed to reverse time and space. When this terrifying phenomenon was aimed at him, "Wodan" suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He tried to dodge but felt a sense of being locked on.

It's time to give up. There's no way to escape, no way to escape. The feeling of having your entire body's energy locked in from all directions is inescapable. There's no way to avoid it, no way to resist it. You can only take it!

Bang! ! ! !

"Wodan's" eyes were bloodshot. The moment he was hit in the chest, a clear mark suddenly appeared on his back, and then he was sent flying into the sky.

Boom! A violent burst of energy transformed into a storm that surged out from behind him, taking the form of a dragon as it continued to soar into the sky. Finally, it flew towards the distant, dazzling sun, its radiant light reaching the heavens and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Meanwhile, in the Temple of Flames, the Valkyrie Brunhilde also witnessed that radiant light through the flames.

"That...that celestial dragon is...!?"

Chapter 249 Exhausting the ultimate martial arts and mastering eighty-eight profound mysteries at the same time is quite simple, right?

The power of dragons... wait, could it be that the dragon-slaying hero, Sigurd, has arrived?

Brunhilde was suddenly overwhelmed with joy, emotion, and intense feelings. It was as if her long-standing online romance was finally paying off and about to turn into a real-life meeting – a feeling of both anticipation and trepidation.

But—if the master of that power is Sigurd, then who is fighting against him?

……

"Wodan": "Impossible! How did you manage to do something of this level? Impossible, impossible! How could a human body possibly support you in performing such a superhuman skill?"

There was no mystery whatsoever, just a pure outburst—Night didn't even unleash his inner universe. It was only through close observation that 'Wodan' could clearly see just how terrifying that move was, representing something ultimate and pure.

In response, Ye calmly explained, "The Rising Dragon Strike of Mount Lu, that move just now—is a secret technique often used by the Bronze Saint of the Dragon constellation. However, unlike other Saints, this technique is not a constellation technique, but an ultimate martial art. Before awakening the power of one's cosmos, one charges against the entire natural world with the body of a mere mortal, experiencing the trials of nature, constantly punching the waterfall—in a place called Mount Lu Waterfall—until one day one's punches can make the waterfall flow backward, unleashing a dragon-shaped energy, only then can one be said to have initially mastered this move."

"The secrets of the Dragon Throne? The Cosmo?" Odin finally found the corresponding scene in his memory.

That was information from human memories about the moon goddess and her Saints, which was not immediately taken seriously by Odin compared to the absolute evil of the night.

The Saint Seiya of the Eighty-Eight Constellations...! If this corresponds to a human warrior who has mastered eighty-eight kinds of heaven-defying martial arts and combat techniques that are almost supernatural, just like the one just mentioned!

At this moment—the idea that Odin had previously scoffed at—of using human Saints to counterbalance the gods—was finally being taken seriously.

They even initially thought that only the Gold Saints had the potential to threaten the gods.

Odin considered concepts like the microcosm, the seventh sense, and the eighth sense to be mere boasting.

But if all these astrological mysteries are so unique and abnormal now, we might not only have to worry about the Gold zodiac signs, but also have to take the Bronze zodiac signs seriously.

The learning conditions for the Rising Dragon Fist of Mount Lu, the ultimate technique of the Bronze Dragon, were so demanding that even "Wodan" was shocked. According to him, the human bodies of those who first learned this technique were no different from ordinary people, and were completely unremarkable.

Yet, in the process of transcending extreme circumstances, they comprehended the profound mysteries of the constellations that were directed at their gods.

This is probably why the opponent didn't use any mysterious powers and instead unleashed such a terrifying attack purely through physical strength.

It turns out it was special from the very beginning! If more people mastered this skill, it's hard to imagine what kind of calamity that would have entailed.

But at this moment, Odin still had a pent-up problem in his heart that he had to get out!

"Aren't you... the Gold Saint of Ophiuchus? Why are you using the secret technique of Dragon?!" God "Wodan" couldn't help but ask with a gloomy expression.

Night said meaningfully, “Why can I use the secret techniques of other constellations? As the strongest Gold Saint who commands all eighty-eight constellations—as the one who walks alongside Goddess—the strongest Pope of the Sanctuary! Is it strange that I can master the secret techniques of all eighty-eight constellations and use the combat skills of my subordinates?” Night slowly walked towards “Wodan”.

Is it strange?! Isn't it strange?!

His steps were slow, yet each step seemed to tread on "Wodan's" heart, increasing the pressure on him.

Coupled with his words, which seemed to be almost Versailles-like in their extremes yet so unwavering in their resolve, it was as if it were only natural for him to be the one wielding so much monstrous power.

A top predator!! Like a high-dimensional predator at the top of the food chain, toying with its prey, that composure perfectly explains what 'perfect arrogance' means!

It was more radiant and dazzling than the sun, so bright that no one dared to look away for even a moment, lest they be instantly killed by its light the instant they looked away, without even seeing how they died.

However, looking directly at the sun for too long can have a negative effect, such as blinding you.

After hearing Ye's explanation, "Wodan" felt completely cold inside, feeling utterly incredulous and experiencing a tremor in his soul!

This is a profound mystery that ordinary people, even martial gods, might only be able to comprehend in their entire lives! If he, as a god-king, could learn this signature profound mystery and unleash the power of authority through pure martial arts, what a proud and honorable thing that would be!

No wonder they can be so arrogant! It would be abnormal if they weren't proud!

But what did he just hear?

Not only did the other party master such a skill, but they also know eighty-eight different kinds of it?!

What a monster—!

Guan Wuyi looked as if he was born to master these ultimate martial arts, the strongest warrior, and in addition, he was destined to be the ultimate human trial, a challenge that only humans could defeat.

Even "Wodan" felt an overwhelming sense of despair, and goosebumps rose all over his body. So many harsh conditions for the subjugation—was this really a monster that a human could defeat?

All the heroes and great figures throughout history combined might not have had the chance to defeat this terrifying monster.

Facing the strongest Saint Seiya, who can unleash eighty-eight different astonishing powers with his bare body, and whose martial arts are comparable to wielding power, humanity triumphs over the strong with the weak. The greatest weapon that humanity relies on to defeat powerful opponents, apart from wisdom, is 'skill'. However, the enemy has mastered this power more skillfully than anyone else.

Terrifying! How terrifying! Cataclysmic power!

No, perhaps there is still a chance. 'He' is different from those heroes in history. 'Wodan' clearly knows his identity. As an incarnation of a god-king who has exploited a bug and wants to solve the calamity of night in human form, although he cannot use those equally amazing martial arts, he can use the power of some of his powers, which can make up for his lack of martial arts skills.

However, Ye doesn't have the habit of watching his opponent show off and holding back his ultimate move.

I had noticed long ago that something seemed off about this "Wodan" god in front of me. He had a strange aura about him and seemed to be forcibly pretending to be 'human'.

Although Ye didn't know Odin's plan, nor did he need to guess why the other party maintained this frustrating 'self-sealing'. Even if he did know, it would be meaningless. Not only could this half-baked incarnation of a god-king not defeat him, but the other party's disguised 'human' identity could not possibly gain conceptual recognition.

The 'Final Trial of Humanity' can only be destroyed by humans! This is absolutely true!

Chapter 250 The Eighth Sense, Deceiving Oneself to Transcend Death, The Second Secret Technique: Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel!

Having used too much power that was not human, his whole body was filled with the stench of divinity (debuff). No matter how strong he was, he could not truly kill Ye. And what could not kill him would only make him stronger!

Bang! Like thunder, one swift and fierce shot after another thrust at "Wodan." Night simply wielded one hand with ease, displaying exquisite moves. Countless spear flowers bloomed in afterimages, enough to keep "Wodan" running for his life.

The footsteps of night never even left the same spot; its calm and powerful demeanor was simply too elegant.

In contrast, "Wodan" roared as it exerted all the functions of its body, desperately fighting back and blocking the attacks, producing a series of collision sounds like thunder and fire.

But only halfway through the battle, "Wodan's" weapons were already riddled with dents and scratches.

"Is this all you've got? God King!" That night, looking at the blood-red, genuine divine declaration in his hand—the divine spear Gungnir—and then at the inferior divine spear in 'Wodan's' hand, which was about to be shattered, he thought he was using some kind of inferior weapon.

That strange, exhilarating feeling filled my heart. I stole your gun and then used it to stab you—that's how domineering I am!

When he heard Ye address him as the God-King, "Wodan" was utterly astonished.

"you……!"

How did he know?

"This spear—named Gungnir, the Declaration of the Great God—will drink deeply of the blood of the Great God, proclaiming the first coming of myth!—World! Let it resound with thunderous applause!"

A divine spear that always hits, a spear that will pierce and impale Odin—! The prototype of all spears with the attribute of always hitting, one of the strongest divine weapons in Norse mythology!

That night, a bloodthirsty, sharp smile appeared on his handsome face, and madness was spreading!

The next moment, a blinding light shone from the bright red gun barrel, and in an instant—"Wodan's" body was pierced through.

The brain lost consciousness in that instant, unable to stop it—!

Even the powers hadn't been activated yet... and that bright red meteor brought a strong sense of familiarity, as if I'd seen it before!

However, 'Wodan' no longer had the time or energy to think about such questions.

Boom!

'Wodan', facing a life-threatening crisis, activated its emergency warning mode, and Kamui was suddenly unleashed! A massive beam of light shot straight into the sky.

The terrifying true ether began to sweep across the entire sky. When the human 'body' was shattered, the wrath of the enraged god-king transformed into this terrifying divine power that permeated the entire Norse universe.

Thump! Thump thump!

The will of the God-King was awakening. At this moment, Odin, who could briefly display his true power as the King of Gods, did not hesitate at all—he sent down a spiraling beam of light to bombard the night.

At this moment, the killing intent permeating the air seemed to materialize. It was a boiling killing intent that regarded each individual as a formidable enemy, and wanted to kill those bodies as powerful as the earth and planets, just as it had defeated the Frost Giants in the past.

As a disgrace to the person who shattered his avatar, let him pay with his life!

He couldn't even bother to consider the condition that humanity's final trial could only be solved by humans. In the end, it was just a conjecture. Without personally verifying it, how could he know that his power couldn't kill the opponent?!

Faced with the immense divine power descending from the heavens, the entire sky seemed to distort and collapse, a scene of calamity as if the world was about to be destroyed.

So strong!

The strongest opponent I've ever faced in a head-on, one-on-one confrontation!

Under such intense sensory stimulation, the microcosm begins to burn instinctively, and the next moment, the extrasensory perception is infinitely amplified. In the instant when time is frozen in the infinitely stretched moment in consciousness, the perception of 'death' is incredibly clear in this time span that extends to infinity!

But Ye knew very well that he could not really die, at least not by God.

However, this misconception is not necessarily all bad; at least it can deceive his brain.

The peak of the seventh sense, which had already been reached, began to weaken, and the next step—was… the eighth sense!!

This is the Alaya-vijnana, which is said to have transcended death and reached the realm of divinity!

Night: "The eighth sense—what is needed is the understanding of death, the ability to transcend death and reach the other side. Very good, there is no better way to transcend oneself than to face death directly!"

When Odin unleashed his divine power indiscriminately, threatening the entire world, individuals appeared so insignificant and powerless in the face of this catastrophe that seemed to threaten the very existence of humanity.

By breaking through the delusions of views and ignorance, one can transcend all falsehoods and attain the true nature of reality—a state of non-birth and non-death, undefiled and unstained, without inherent nature or form.

In an instant, under this pressure, it was as if a supernova explosion occurred in my mind, and a burst of inspiration suddenly arose from my consciousness.

Then, that realm was crossed naturally and effortlessly.

This is both the amazing and joyful change brought about by the accumulation of a large amount of original knowledge and experience, and a manifestation of his extraordinary talent.

That is, the instant one steps into the Eighth Sense—!!

Suddenly, pink petals began to fall all over the Nordic world, as if a paradise of flowers had descended upon it.

In the distance—on the Volsung family's territory—Siguni reached out and caught a petal, gazing at its exquisite beauty in a daze—'A rain of petals is falling from the sky?'

Is this scene not a false illusion, but something that actually exists?

After sensing a familiar, intense, and powerful will within the petals, Siguni was overjoyed and deeply moved—it was her brother!
