Chapter 211 : Pre-battle preparations, a sudden change in the cycle of reincarnation!
"Mere Bronze Saints, do you dare covet a God War?"
Perseus, a Celestial Saint clad in silver-winged armor, couldn't help but sneer, his gaze sweeping over Seiya and the other Bronze Saints with utter contempt.
Ikki took two steps forward, his eyes blazing with ferocity. His Phoenix Cosmo instantly surged, dark red flames soaring into the sky.
"You're looking for death!"
Facing Ikki's Cosmo, even the Celestial Saints couldn't help but look a bit grave. These Bronze Saints seemed to have some power.
The acknowledged strongest among the Celestial Saints, Heracles, who had already ascended to godhood, slowly rose. Within his sculpted muscles, an inexhaustible power seemed to reside.
"What, do you want to test the strength of a Celestial Saint?"
"Let's go outside and settle it now!"
Ikki's eyes brooked no disrespect. He had never feared anyone, not even the legendary ancient hero, Heracles!
"Stop!"
Athena's scepter of nike struck the ground heavily, and a sacred pressure rippled out like a tide, forcibly dispersing the battle intent of both sides.
Golden light swirled in her eyes, and her voice carried an undeniable authority.
"Further internal strife at this moment is meaningless. When the morning sun first rises tomorrow, positions will be determined by strength. All who harbor the will to protect the peace of the Human Realm may step onto the stage!"
Apollo also spoke up in due time.
"Save your strength for the battle with the Titan God Clan. If these Saints want to try, then use your power to make them recognize the gap between you!"
The fighters on both sides looked displeased, slowly separating... The night in the Sanctuary was fraught with undercurrents.
Moonlight spilled onto the cold stone steps of the Twelve Palaces, but it could not dispel the heavy atmosphere that pervaded the entire Sanctuary.
Inside the Goddess's sleeping quarters, Athena's fingertip traced the staff of victory in her hand, and golden divine power extended like threads into an unknown space.
Her gaze pierced through the void, reaching deep beyond the World.
"Li Yu, you are not in this World after all. Cronus's promise began because of you, and the great war is upon us. Where are you now?"
The tip of the staff trembled slightly, and a hard-to-catch thread of causality flickered in and out of existence within the turbulent flow of destiny, yet it still couldn't capture Li Yu's presence.
Athena sighed. When she left the Underworld, she had unconsciously forgotten Li Yu, and now, she was filled with regret.
In the Virgo Palace, Shaka sat beneath the twin sala trees, surrounded by swirling Buddha light.
His fingers formed a lotus gesture, and his consciousness sank into the sea of Alaya-vijñana, attempting to capture Li Yu's presence. After a long attempt, only a soft sigh remained.
"Li Yu, you have, after all, become a traveler beyond Reincarnation. Your strength is the greatest variable in the final battle..."
Outside the Leo Palace, Aiolia leaned against a stone pillar, his arms crossed, gazing up at the starry sky. His lion's mane-like golden hair stirred slightly in the night wind.
His Master Brother, Aiolos, had told him everything that had happened before he left the Underworld.
Back then, he had not betrayed the Goddess, but had died because of her.
"Brother, no matter what Athena does, our mission as Saints will not change: to protect the Human Realm, to protect the Earth!"
"I am already dead. Take up my last wish and continue to fight!"
Thinking of this, Aiolia sighed softly.
He had already decided that after the battle with the Titan God Clan, he would return to his old home, to the place where he and his Master Brother had once lived.
The Bronze Five stayed in the Pope's Palace, closest to the Goddess. Seiya leaned against the wall, gazing up at Pegasus in the night sky.
"I believe Li Yu will definitely return! But before that, we must hold the Human Realm!"
"Right, Hyoga!"
A wry smile flashed in Hyoga's eyes. He truly couldn't understand what his Master would do next. Many people thought Master Li Yu might already be dead.
But he knew in his heart that those titans alone could never defeat his Master.
A large hand clapped heavily on his shoulder. His Master Brother, the Marine Isaac, had eyes as firm as a torch.
"Junior Brother, in the coming battle, I will go all out and not disgrace Master! You must do the same!"
"Mm!"
Hyoga cast aside his distracting thoughts and closed his eyes to meditate.
At the foot of the Saint Mountain, in the Celestial Saint camp, Achilles wiped the immortal shield in his hand. He sneered and murmured softly.
"Human emotions are, after all, weak shackles. What about Li Yu? I didn't even get to use my full power that day!"
Hercules took a deep breath.
"Do not underestimate the potential of humans, for we all were once human!"
...After bidding farewell to Tiamut, who had become the God of the interstellar World, Li Yu's figure gradually appeared in space, returning to the Reincarnation Space.
In the deepest part of the Reincarnation Space, by a round table, a Shadow raised its head.
"He's been found. The Hunter is currently in the Reincarnation Space!"
Inside the room, pairs of eyes of various colors lit up, and powerful divine power intertwined and resonated.
"Let's act. The World power plundered by the Pantheon is enough. It's time to make the Reincarnation Space completely ours!"
Li Yu did not immediately return to the Saint Seiya World. He frowned slightly and said,
"Main God, I need to understand the detailed information about that divinity in the Reincarnation Space!"
Without waiting for the Main God to reply, Li Yu continued coldly,
"Don't tell me you don't know the information about that divinity either. If you say that again, I will no longer accept any Reincarnation Space missions from now on!"
After a long pause, blue characters slowly flickered before Li Yu's eyes.
It was as if the Main God was also contemplating and weighing at this moment.
Finally, a line of text appeared before Li Yu's eyes.
"The memory crystal you brought back was once a part of the Reincarnation Space. I have recovered some memories, and the Space is currently upgrading..."
"The divinity of the Reincarnation Space is the Lord of All Heavens. This divinity belonged to the previous Lord of the Reincarnation Space, but because he perished in the God War..."
The characters did not fully display. Suddenly, dark red warning text appeared before Li Yu's eyes.
"WARNING! HIGHEST LEVEL INTRUSION! CORE PROTOCOL COMPROMISED! MAIN CONSCIOUSNESS SUPPRESSED!"
The cold mechanical alarm instantly turned into an ear-piercing shriek!
The pure White space before Li Yu twisted violently, and three indescribably magnificent divine projections descended with a roar, tearing open cracks in the entire Reincarnation Space that pierced through the void!
The figure in the very center wore thunder as a crown and divinity as a robe!
In the lightning, Li Yu saw a middle-aged man holding a staff of thunder, his eyes filled with the coldness and majesty of one who had looked down upon the ages.
His appearance made Li Yu's pupils constrict.
He had once seen this man in a mural in the Pope's Palace. At that time, he was surrounded by the Olympian Gods, holding a wine cup.
That's right, this man was Athena's father, the King of Gods in the Saint Seiya World, King Zeus!
The King of Gods, Zeus, who had been missing for a thousand years, was actually in the Reincarnation Space?
The pressure emanating from him seemed even deeper and more profound than Cronus's... Zeus scrutinized Li Yu up and down, the disdain in his eyes growing thicker.
"I've just awakened from my slumber. So, the third-generation Hunter is actually Athena's Saint?"
His divine consciousness seemed to be able to see through everything about Li Yu.
"Let me see. Although you've acquired some other abilities, the core of your power is still the power of Cosmo. Hmm, and the Chaos Lightning I left in the original World, as well as some other miscellaneous things."
Zeus extended the staff of thunder in his hand, pointing it at Li Yu.
"Considering we come from the same World, I'll give you a chance. Kneel and swear allegiance to the Pantheon, and you can replace the deceased Number Eight!"
