Saint Seiya: From the Succession of the Underworld

Page 167

"In the other person's eyes, it was as if they had lost everything."

"Godlike..."

Gaia's eyes were filled with helplessness as she said softly, "Perhaps, in their eyes, we are all just people who can be discarded, as long as they can reach that highest position."

"Ugh!"

Gaia shook her head in the end. She had seen a lot and had also undergone some changes.

if not.

It's impossible that she sensed Jiang Chen's godlike status the moment she saw him.

The reason is quite simple.

All Gaia could see was the Godhood, which was a change within herself.

What did Izanami understand? Was it because she had experienced and witnessed it that she felt everything was meaningless?

"Hmm~"

Izanami considered for a moment and said, "Then, Gaia, you should just wait here quietly and wait for everything to be witnessed. As for now, no matter how much I tell you, you will think that I am just deceiving you."

Gaia didn't say much, only nodded slightly.

This is not undeniable.

Izanami was right; Gaia had experienced and witnessed it, and that's why she understood it so clearly.

Or!

Gaia had once truly seen that supreme god of time and space. At that time, she was full of hope, believing that she could finally go a step further from the title of creator god and truly become an absolute god.

1.9 But what about it?

Gaia failed, and what followed was even more despair—an endless despair is no exaggeration.

after that.

Gaia also gave up on all thoughts, just like her mindset at this moment. In Gaia's view, everything was just an insignificant matter.

This is why Gaia seems indifferent to everything.

Izanami smiled and said, "Some things, because you've seen so much, you simply won't believe them anymore. Even if I tell you the truth, perhaps, in your eyes, it's just a lie."

Gaia shook her head and said, "Izanami, there's no need to say more. It's pointless for me."

"all of these……"

"It's all meaningless now."

"It's you, on the contrary."

"Get ready."

"The war in the primordial world never ends. The earth is merely the beginning, and your actions will continue."

"Next!"

"The most terrifying thing is that before that newly born god grows up, even a newly born god is just a lamb to the slaughter."

"On the contrary, they will die a more miserable death."

In Gaia's eyes, if possible, she would devour a newly born super god without hesitation.

This is something that needs no doubt.

Izanami countered with a question: "Gaia, do you think anyone besides you can see through the true nature of that child, Chen?"

"impossible!"

Gaia was taken aback at first, then shook his head and said, "Even the same godlike power couldn't do that. My uniqueness comes from..."

Gaia suddenly fell silent at this point, no longer saying anything more, but shaking her head.

……

P.S.: Third update of the day! The author is begging for subscriptions, self-subscriptions, votes, and flowers.

Chapter 121: Izanami Achieves True Primordial Godhood! The True 88 Constellations! Amaterasu's Efforts!

Gaia was unwilling to say more, and Izanami did not ask any further questions.

She is not a curious person.

and!

Clearly, Gaia himself had experienced something. Some things can only be truly understood through firsthand witnessing, leading to despair. Similarly, some things can only be truly understood through firsthand witnessing, leading to a deeper understanding of what hope is.

Before that time arrives?

Let Gaia himself witness and see for himself step by step.

some things.

That's too much to say.

On the contrary, it's a completely meaningless thing.

Izanami said no more, "Well then, Gaia, that's enough of our chat for today. I have some things to attend to now."

"Ah."

Gaia was not surprised.

after all.

The strangest thing would be if someone captured you and you didn't have any thoughts about it; it just depends on what they want to do.

Izanami very naturally took out a golden apple.

"Ok?"

Gaia asked curiously, "This golden apple? But Izanami, do you intend to use the golden apple to absorb my essence and divine power?"

"Not really."

Izanami shook her head, dissipating her divine power, which rapidly decreased at a visible speed.

"This is……"

Gaia looked on in astonishment; she had never expected such a thing to happen.

Izanami, with a smile on her face, offered no further explanation. She simply pointed the golden apple at Gaia, and strands of divine power were absorbed and transformed by the apple, beginning to merge into Izanami's body.

"..."

Gaia remained silent, kneeling there quietly, not stopping them, or rather, she couldn't stop them. She knew that she couldn't do anything here. Even with her divine power, any movement she made would be instantly blocked.

Strands of divine power were gradually drawn and merged into Izanami's body.

As divine power was drawn away, Izanami narrowed her eyes slightly.

Over time.

Gaia's aura grew weaker and weaker, but this was nothing to worry about. Her own origin, status, and concepts remained untouched, so it wouldn't affect her in any way.

Although the extracted divine power is extremely depleted, it can be recovered in a few months at most.

but.

Gaia didn't quite understand why Izanami was doing this. 27

Simply extracting divine power in this way is almost meaningless.

Can……

As the divine power was drawn, Gaia could feel that Izanami's level was becoming stronger and stronger. From the initial half-step God-King, she had completely stepped into the God-King realm. After only a moment's pause, she had completely stepped into the level of an ancient god.

More than that.

With the continuous absorption of divine power, Izanami's divine power level has reached a level almost identical to her own, at the seventh or eighth level.

"Whoo~~~"

As everything came to a close, Izanami gently exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging divine power within herself. Unlike the divine power borrowed from the Dark Tree and the Sea, this was divine power that truly belonged to her.

"Gaia, thank you."

"Hmm~"

Gaia listened to Izanami's thanks. Although he appeared rather weak, it didn't affect him much.

For Gaia, the golden apple only extracted divine power and did not affect his foundation. All that was needed was time to recover.

"only……"

Gaia looked at Izanami with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, and said, "I'm very curious, how exactly did you manage to do that?"

Izanami smiled and said, "I cannot explain this matter for the time being, or rather, even if I did, you would not believe me. So, Gaia, see you next time."

Izanami put away the golden apple and then left.

"This……"

Gaia felt her own weakness and was filled with astonishment.

"What happened?"

"Or."

"What exactly happened?"

Gaia tilted her head, seemingly a little confused.

When Izanami fought herself, she did not use her own true divine power, but rather borrowed it?

for this.

Gaia is certain; having just exhausted all her divine power along with Izanami, it's certain that she never reached the level of a god-king.

only!

Follow up.

As Izanami absorbed her divine power using the most special golden apple she had created, she also sensed it.

For Izanami, breaking through was as easy as drinking water.

The will of the gods transformed into ultimate power.

Rules have degenerated into concepts.

Unlike Zeus, whose efforts were ultimately unfinished, Izanami was like a dried-up pond that naturally contained everything as water flowed in, as if there were no difficulties whatsoever.

"What exactly is going on?"

Gaia really couldn't figure it out, and couldn't quite understand what had happened, or rather...

Inside.

What exactly is the problem?

That's really too strange.

"Unless..."

"Izanami's own status has reached the level of an ancient god or above."

"only……"

"This is still very strange!"

Gaia said with a puzzled look, "For ordinary gods, even those with higher ranks, they still need to work hard to advance further."

"Izanami."

"What is it that you're doing this for?"
