Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"You...you're going to betray...the Holy Land?"

Slowly sliding down the tree trunk, Pegasus looked at Asmita in disbelief.

Even now, he still couldn't quite believe that he had been betrayed by the Gold Saint, who was hailed as the strongest in the Sanctuary.

Chapter 78 Asmita (Part 2)

“Yes! This is the choice of fate!” Asmita said calmly, as if he had done something insignificant.

"How could you... how could you do this..."

Pegasus was enraged. Ever since joining the Sanctuary, he had been striving to become a Gold Saint, hoping that one day he could become one of them.

But now, a Gold Saint has taken off his Cloth right before his eyes and announced his departure from the Sanctuary, which he simply cannot accept.

His will, his perseverance, and his ideals all seemed to have been trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces.

He had never been so angry and sad.

"I won't allow it, I don't approve, I disagree!"

He roared loudly, his spirit, which had been low due to the failure to catalyze the divine tree, was once again ignited by a flame called anger.

He felt as if something was awakening within him, and his inner universe surged dramatically. Then, despite his severe injuries, he resolutely stood up from the ground.

"For Sasha, for the Sanctuary, for justice, I will defeat you!"

Pegasus Meteor Fist

He roared and threw a punch, sending countless meteors shooting out and transforming into a silvery meteor shower that fell from the sky.

On the other side, Wuxin saw Tianma stand up talking to himself, and then, filled with anger, inexplicably launched an attack on the divine tree.

"It seems that Asmita's illusion has worked!" He suddenly realized.

Compared to before, Pegasus's cosmos has clearly improved significantly, and is now approaching the level of mid-silver.

boom!

One meteor after another struck the tree trunk, shaking the branches and causing more leaves to rub against each other, making a rustling sound.

Unfortunately, Pegasus still failed to catalyze the divine tree this time.

In the illusion, Asmita easily blocked Pegasus's meteor punch.

"As expected of Pegasus from mythology, he is completely different from ordinary people. Even in such a severely injured state, he can still unleash such power!" Asmita nodded and flicked his finger again.

call out!

A beam of golden light shot out and struck the Pegasus once again, which had no time to dodge.

"what--"

He screamed in agony as his already tattered holy armor shattered completely, and he was blasted away, crashing heavily onto the trunk of the divine tree behind him once more.

This time, Pegasus was even more seriously injured, with several bones broken, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Faced with the powerful Asmita, he couldn't help but feel despair.

Asmita calmly said, "You are too weak! You are not enough to influence the course of the war!"

"I will break your limbs, rendering you completely powerless to resist, and then present you to Hades as a greeting gift!"

He paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Perhaps I don't need to be in such a hurry. I can continue to disguise myself as a Saint and infiltrate the Sanctuary to try and ambush Athena."

"After all, she is only a god who has not yet fully awakened. With my strength, it's not like I have no chance!"

"In fact, if we could kill her directly, we might be able to end this holy war and bring the world under Hades's rule even faster!"

Upon hearing this, Pegasus, who had been in despair, seemed to have a sensitive nerve touched, and his will was once again activated and elevated.

"No, no!"

"I will not allow you to hurt Sasha—"

At this moment, his personal will was boosted once again by hatred and anger, and he quickly surpassed the level of ordinary silver mid-level and entered the peak of silver, just one step away from stepping into a new realm.

But Pegasus seemed oblivious to all of this, his attention focused entirely on Asmita before him.

He only wanted to defeat the formidable enemy before him, save Sasha, and save the Sanctuary!

He seemed to have completely forgotten the pain in his body, and got up from the ground once again, exuding an aura of power far greater than before.

Pegasus Meteor Fist

He seemed to have forgotten about time and space, relying solely on his obsession with defeating a powerful enemy to swing his fist, concentrating all his strength into this one strike.

In an instant, the meteor shower reappeared, attacking once again with an even more terrifying and denser intensity.

As before, Asmita did not dodge, but remained seated cross-legged in mid-air, a half-smile playing on his lips, quietly awaiting the onslaught of the meteor shower.

Rumble!

Silver meteors engulfed Asmita. This time, the golden light protecting him could not stop the meteors from bombarding him, and each one struck him solidly.

At that very moment, Asmita's figure slowly dissipated, and a giant divine tree appeared, taking Asmita's place.

Before Pegasus could figure out what was going on, the Divine Tree completely absorbed the power of the meteor shower and then emitted an equally dazzling silver glow.

He clearly saw that the branches of the sacred tree trembled violently, and then tender flower buds emerged, grew rapidly, bloomed quickly, and finally withered, bearing yellowish-brown fruits.

Splash!

They fell from the tree like raindrops, hitting Pegasus directly on the head.

Congratulations on your success! Pegasus!

A familiar voice appeared in his ear.

He instinctively turned around, only to see Asmita sitting cross-legged not far away, dressed in the golden Virgo Cloth, smiling and 'looking' at him.

"Was everything just an illusion?" he asked tentatively, as if waking from a dream.

“That’s right! That was just an illusion I created to unleash your potential!” Asmita did not deny it.

"I see... That's great..."

A relieved smile appeared on his face, but then he could no longer maintain his tense state of mind, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground.

Pegasus's foundation was too weak, and now that Asmita is pushing it to the limit, it is naturally exhausted.

Seeing that the Mulanzi Divine Tree had been successfully catalyzed, Wuxin immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "The task His Holiness the Pope entrusted to us has finally been completed!"

"As long as the Demon-Suppressing Rosary is successfully forged, the Specters will completely lose their power to be resurrected!"

"That's right!"

Asmita nodded and smiled, "As long as we forge the Demon-Suppressing Rosary, the scales of victory will tip in our favor!"

"However, the blossoming and fruiting of the divine tree will surely alarm the underworld! They will come looking for us here very soon!"

"We must leave as soon as possible; we can't waste any more time!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, releasing his mental power at will, and swept up all the Luanzi fruits on the ground.

Goodbye, Throne of Giants!

He glanced back at Wuxin, then used his telekinesis to grab Pegasus and opened a dimensional portal to the human world in front of him.

“No, it should be goodbye forever, Asmita! Thank you for everything you have done for everyone!” Wuxin replied with a heavy heart.

He knew very well that this separation meant no more farewells, it was goodbye forever.

Asmita paused for a moment, as if sensing the hidden meaning in his words, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's goodbye forever!"

"The Sanctuary and Lord Sasha are entrusted to you!"

Having said that, he stepped into the dimensional portal with the unconscious Pegasus and countless fruits of the Mulan fruit and disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 79 Chessboard Decision

After watching Asmita and Pegasus leave, Wuxin did not linger. He immediately jumped off the waterfall and, without looking back, transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared.

Just now, he clearly felt that a force was acting on him from the shadows, binding him like chains.

If I were to step into the dimensional passage opened by Asmita, I would certainly not be able to leave the Underworld and would be forcibly kept there by that force.

At this point, he had completely verified what the woman had said.

Without the other party's permission, he could not leave the underworld.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed an unparalleled, supreme aura above all living beings appearing above the waterfall.

"This aura must be that of a god!" He immediately guessed and suspected that it was one of the twin gods under Hades.

His heart tightened, and he immediately jumped into the nearby River Styx.

With the power of a god, he could easily see through his disguise. He could no longer stay on the ground, and the filthy River Styx naturally became his best cover.

Of course, the River Styx is not a good hiding place either. It is filled with the endless resentment of the dead and the decaying blood. Not only is it dangerous for the dead to fall into it, but it is also dangerous for the living.

As soon as he jumped into the River Styx and his body came into contact with the water, Wu Xin felt a strong corrosive force eroding his body, as if it wanted to completely melt him into the River Styx.

It was not only physical torture, but also spiritual taint.

The endless resentment of the dead seeped into his body as the river water eroded it, and he seemed to hear countless spirits wailing and crying in his ears.

He felt like his brain was about to explode, and he couldn't help but hallucinate, as if he were in a sea of ​​the dead.

However, he was, after all, a Saint who wielded the power of death, and thus possessed an extremely strong resistance to the corruption of the River Styx.

He endured the pain and quickly mobilized his inner universe to expel the Styx power that was eroding him little by little. At the same time, he used his inner universe to form a protective film on his body to block the erosion of the Styx water.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know how long he hid at the bottom of the river, until he was about to give up, before he slowly surfaced.

He has left!

Once he confirmed that the divine aura that had descended earlier had completely disappeared, Wuxin climbed out of the river.

At this moment, his entire body looked as if it had been gnawed by ants, with almost no inch of completely healthy skin left, resembling a monstrous demon crawling out of hell, utterly hideous.

If it were to enter the human realm, its appearance alone would likely scare a whole bunch of ordinary people to death.
