Saint Seiya: From the Succession of the Underworld

"dust."

Enma said softly, "This is it."

Jiang Chen glanced at it and said, "Let's go."

Enma said no more, raising her long, slender fingers and gently tapping them on the door.

The previously sealed door slowly opened, accompanied by a faint light.

next moment.

What burst forth was boundless divine power.

Jiang Chen glanced at it and strode in. Persephone, Yama, Albedo, and Higanbana followed him in.

As the five people stepped inside, the door closed again in an instant.

Silence returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

Jiang Chen's pace wasn't particularly fast; he could only feel as if he were walking through a dimly lit passage.

Actually.

This was a dimensional passage, and the group continued to venture deeper into it.

Soon everything became clear.

The sky was a dark red.

The earth was a dark red color.

it's here.

It was as if it were soaked in blood, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood as people stepped into it.

Dark red chains came from all directions, seemingly binding something.

"Hmm~"

Jiang Chen glanced at it only, then continued deeper into the area.

soon.

As everyone followed Jiang Chen deeper into the area, they arrived at the core and foundation of the chains. The figure bound by the chains was revealed: a tall figure suspended in mid-air in a starfish shape, with long, jet-black hair flowing freely and wearing a long, black dress.

The long dress was made of a fabric similar to black silk, with a glossy sheen, and the sleeves were also made of the same material.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that as the long, jet-black hair flies about, it reveals a blood-like radiance from within, and the long, black dress is adorned with dragon and snake patterns.

"Hmm~"

Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, the beauty slowly opened her eyes. Her dark, all-encompassing eyes slowly opened, scanning everyone present one by one, while her fiery red lips curled into an amusing smile.

"What intense darkness!"

"This darkness..."

"Why weren't you swallowed by the darkness?"

Why is it like this?

She gazed intently at Jiang Chen, seeing endless darkness within him. Yet, she couldn't understand why Jiang Chen hadn't been swallowed by the darkness.

This is really too strange.

Jiang Chen, however, looked at the bound goddess with a smile, finding it amusing.

"dust……"

Persephone and Yama simultaneously realized something.

Jiang Chen raised his head and simply shook his head.

She was able to see these things entirely because she released a sliver of her true nature; otherwise, how could she have seen them?

These ones.

It was simply because Jiang Chen wanted her to see it. Some things, if you can't see them, you can't really have a conversation. Only when you actually see them will you understand what the outcome will be.

Jiang Chen looked at her and said, "Izanami, why does darkness devour its wielder? If the wielder is powerful enough, wouldn't they be able to control the darkness?"

"Is that really the case..."

Izanami stared intently at Jiang Chen. She opened her red lips, wanting to refute him, but it seemed she couldn't refute him at all. She remained silent because the person in front of her had indeed done it; he truly had not been swallowed by the darkness.

this moment.

Izanami fell silent, seemingly unsure of what to say.

"Goddess of Destruction".

"The Mother of Creation".

"Izanami."

Jiang Chen looked at Izanami and, without wasting words, asked directly, "Do you want freedom?"

Huang Quanguo!

Sealed here is the goddess who embodies both destruction and creation.

Izanami.

exactly.

In this world, Izanami is the goddess of destruction and the mother of creation, which is why this world only corresponds to the Takamagahara pantheon, and not to the true mythology of Japan.

It also lacks many key elements.

"..."

Izanami listened to Jiang Chen's words and remained silent for a short while.

After a while.

"Hehehe~~~"

Izanami couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of amusement in her eyes, and said, "God of Darkness, are you willing to release me? Or rather, what would you gain from releasing me?"

Jiang Chen flicked his finger and said casually, "To be precise, it's not about releasing you, but rather that from this day forward, you become my possession."

"Like this new Lord of Mount Tai?"

Izanami focused her gaze on Enma. As the goddess of destruction and creation, she could see at a glance that Enma had transformed into the true Lord of Mount Tai.

Lord of Mount Tai.

She is the true deity who controls the cycle of life and death in Japanese mythology and the Takamagahara pantheon.

The status of the Lord of Mount Tai is, in a sense, equivalent to that of Amaterasu, the sun goddess.

Therefore.

With the presence of the Lord of Mount Tai, the Underworld and Takamagahara were on equal footing. However, after losing the Lord of Mount Tai, the Underworld became Takamagahara's subordinate.

"Hmm~"

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin, considered for a moment, and said, "More or less. Yama is indeed my property. To be precise, all my subordinate gods and their retinues are my property."

Jiang Chen made no attempt to hide anything.

The women didn't care either.

"That's it..."

Izanami scanned everyone present, especially Persephone, whose dark eyes flashed with an extremely solemn expression.

Very strong.

Very strong.

Izanami was certain that even if she regained the portion of power she had released, she would still be no match for Persephone.

It can be said.

The two sides are not even on the same level; the other side is completely beyond their comprehension.

and……

Is such a being also a subordinate deity of this god of darkness?

in particular.

Izanami naturally knew Enma. Based on Enma's potential, she was absolutely not qualified to become the Lord of Mount Tai. But now, Enma had succeeded. Under normal circumstances, all of this was still related to this god of darkness.

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the atmosphere.

Jiang Chen didn't care. With a wave of his hand, a sofa appeared behind him. He leaned back on the sofa, embracing Persephone and Enma on either side of him, while Albedo and Higanbana stood on either side.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"

Albedo even brewed tea and handed it to Jiang Chen, Persephone, and Yama respectively.

Jiang Chen accepted the tea and quietly savored its flavor.

at last.

After finishing the pot of tea, Izanami spoke again, asking, "God of Darkness, what will happen if I choose to refuse?"

Jiang Chen said casually, "I am not quite sure about your backup plan, but it is not very significant. Next, I will take over the entire world and bring it under my control. Then, I will imprison you in the Underworld or Hell. In other words, the Yellow Springs Kingdom is equivalent to the Underworld and Hell in terms of status."

"For the time being, I do not have a suitable person to manage the Kingdom of the Underworld."

"It wouldn't be a problem to keep you imprisoned in the Underworld."

"Until you agree."

Jiang Chen accepted the dark cigarette with the lip print from Persephone and quietly exhaled smoke, absorbing wisps of dark divine power.

Enma watched this scene thoughtfully, as if she had learned something.

"A permanent seal, until you are willing to become my possession."

"Of course."

"After all, I am determined to have you, and you have absolutely no right to refuse or leave."

Jiang Chen was determined to have Izanami, especially after confirming her status as the goddess of destruction and the mother of creation.

joke.

Even if Izanami's rank doesn't reach that of an absolute god, she is at least a top-tier ancient god, or even an exceptional ancient god.

Once you sign a divine covenant and become your own god, your life, origin, and person will be transformed.

This is absolutely capable of transforming into an absolute god!!!

By that time.

If I collect all the divine scriptures of Japanese mythology, I can cultivate Izanami into the master of Japanese mythology.

In the world of Saint Seiya, you can eliminate the three Creation Gods, the absolute gods of creation in Japanese mythology.

that……

This is equivalent to taking over a complete multiverse.

It can be said.

Jiang Chen's plan was very thorough, and Izanami wanted to refuse? That was absolutely impossible. He had enough time to slowly turn Izanami into his possession.

"Such a strong possessiveness!"

Izanami seemed to be sighing, but a smile played on her lips as she said, "However, I'm not annoyed or annoyed, it's just..."

"The God of Darkness."

Before I give you my answer, would you like to hear a story?

Jiang Chen raised his hand, "Begin your performance."

Normally.

Jiang Chen had absolutely no interest in these backstories.

but.
