Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

"Five minutes left. I'll find you some help before I leave."

Today, Hawking chose Pope Shion as his learning subject. Five minutes before the template finished loading, he had already grasped Shion's signature moves. The rest was up to him to practice slowly over time.

However, at that moment he suddenly thought of a Silver Saint with considerable strength, so he instantly teleported away from where he stood.

Over Heinstein, Germany.

Looking at the vanished castle and the passage leading to the underworld below, Hawking didn't hesitate much and rushed straight in.

After passing through a long passage, he soon entered a boundless, dark, and profound world, the underworld created by Hades, the god of the underworld.

"The power of the microcosm has been suppressed."

The moment Hawking landed in the underworld, he felt his inner power suppressed to less than one-tenth by the laws of Hades.

He inherited Seiya's cosmos, and had only recently awakened his seventh sense. He was still far from reaching his eighth sense, so naturally he was not immune to the laws of the underworld.

However, his main power is not his cosmos right now, so even if it is suppressed, the impact is not significant.

"Gates of Hell"

Looking up ahead, a massive stone gate stood before me, with a despairing inscription on it.

"Once you enter this door, there is no hope left."

The entrance to the underworld is the Gates of Hell. After passing through the Gates of Hell is the River of Three Crossings, followed by the Eight Hells, the Three Valleys, the Ten Moats, and the Four Circles. The Four Circles are the residence of Hades in the underworld.

Hawking was going to the second of the eight hells, where Orpheus, the strongest Silver Saint of this era, was located. His strength was comparable to that of a top Gold Saint, and his music could put the three judges of the underworld into a deep sleep at the same time.

Orpheus's lover, Eurydice, died unexpectedly. In order to resurrect her lover, Orpheus went alone to the underworld to pray to Hades, the god of the underworld. Because Orpheus's beautiful music moved Hades, Hades granted Orpheus's request.

However, in order to keep Orpheus forever playing music for Hades, Pandora instructed Pharaoh of the Celestial Beast Star to use a trick to turn Eurydice's lower body into stone, leaving her in the Second Hell.

To protect his beloved, Orpheus stayed with Eurydice in the flower garden of the Second Prison.

"Can't it fly?!"

After passing through the Gates of Hell and arriving at the River of Three Crossings, Hawking did not see any Specters in charge of crossing the river. They were probably taken to the human world to fight in the Holy War. Hawking planned to fly directly across, but then discovered that there was a law prohibiting flight on the River of Three Crossings.

Forcing flight would be tantamount to confronting the power of the entire underworld and would also alert Hades outside, which is obviously unwise. However, this did not stump Hawking.

"Wood Release: Wooden Bridge Technique!"

Hawking clapped his hands, and a super-large wooden bridge stretched from one side of the Sanzu River to the other.

Crossing the wooden bridge leads to the First Hell Court, where souls are judged for their sins in life, and those who are judged are sent to various hells to be punished according to the judgment.

The supreme ruler here is Minos, one of the three judges of the underworld, but usually the power is exercised by Luni, the chief judge of the underworld, who is also not present at this time.

Currently, the creatures operating here are mostly low-level grunts and undead creatures such as demons and skeletons born from the underworld.

Hawking could be killed with a single breath, so he easily made it to the second prison.

The Second Hell punishes the souls of the greedy. Souls that come here are constantly lashed by heavy, cold rain and have a high chance of being eaten by Heroberos, the three-headed dog that guards the Second Hell.

"It's quite big, I'm completely dizzy!"

Compared to the Cerberus from the Harry Potter world, this real Cerberus was more than ten times larger, and it pounced on Hawking as soon as it saw him.

However, Hawking was knocked unconscious in mid-air by a stun spell.

"Where did this living person come from, daring to trespass into the underworld!"

Just then, a Specter dressed like an Egyptian pharaoh rushed over quickly, holding a magic harp, and arrogantly blocked Hawking's way.

Hawking looked the Specter up and down:

"Are you Pharaoh from the Celestial Beast Star?"

He thought all the Specters had gone to fight the Holy War with Hades, but he didn't expect that one of them had stayed behind.

However, it's likely that it was left behind to monitor Orpheus.

"You recognize me. It seems you're no ordinary mortal. Could you be one of Athena's Saints?"

Farao was initially taken aback that Hawking recognized him, but then he immediately realized that the person who could enter the Underworld and recognize him was most likely a Saint from Sanctuary.

"Haha, my biggest regret is not being able to go out and participate in the Holy War with Lord Hades."

"I never expected that you, a Saint of Athena, would deliver yourself to my doorstep. I'll finish you off here, and Lord Hades will surely reward me when he returns."

Picking up the magic harp, Pharaoh immediately launched a sonic attack at Hawking:

"The Curse of Balance!"

This is an attack that uses a demonic sound to remove the enemy's heart and place it on a scale to weigh it. If the scale cannot be balanced, the opponent's body and soul will be annihilated.

Hawking smiled at the sight. Such sonic attacks would indeed be troublesome for others, but they were useless against him. He simply raised his hand and a magic circle formed.

"quiet!"

In an instant, all the sound waves emitted by the Pharaoh's Demon Harp disappeared, and the entire Second Hell became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard; even the wailing of the souls vanished.

This is the magic that Hawking created by studying the "Silence" card in the Clow Cards, which can stop all sound transmission within a certain range.

"How could this happen?"

Farao was shocked to find that his attack had been completely neutralized. If the magic harp could not make a sound, then all his moves would be useless.

Before he could even consider whether to retreat or fight to the death, a beam of light pierced through his forehead.

"Hole Wave!"

It was Hawking who delivered the fatal blow after the silence was broken.

He didn't have time to waste with Farao; his time was up in two minutes.

After killing Pharaoh and passing through the temple of the Second Hell, a beautiful flower garden appeared before him.

In the center of the flowerbed is a beautiful girl whose body has turned half into stone, and beside her is a Silver Saint playing the piano.

"Orpheus, you should return to Sanctuary. Athena needs you."

Hawking's figure flashed and appeared in front of Orpheus.

Orpheus stopped playing the piano and looked at Hawking with some surprise:

"No matter who you are or why you are in the Underworld, I'm sorry, I cannot follow you back to the Sanctuary."

"Ophiuchus Gold Cloth"

Hawking didn't say anything more, but put on the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth and gently touched Eurydice, who had been cursed and turned to stone, with his serpent staff.

With the dispelling effect of the serpent staff, Eurydice's body quickly returned to normal.

"Alright, now we can go back to the Sanctuary!"
