PS: What do you think … if I suddenly ended it and went to open a new book?
"Boom!"
Energy erupted, stirring up a turbulent airflow that filled the entire dream space like a hurricane.
"All that's left is the God of Sleep …" Standing in the turbulent airflow and enduring the impact of the energy, Sei Itō whispered, "I hope the God of Sleep of this world is not as strong as the legends say."
In the legends, the God of Sleep was of the same generation as Zeus, but his divine power was stronger than Zeus and most of the third-generation gods. The sleeping ability he mastered was not only effective on humans, but it was also effective on gods. For the God of Sleep who mastered the strange rules of sleep, Sei Itō really had no confidence that he could withstand it. If it were not for the fact that he felt that the opportunity now was relatively rare, he would have given up on finding trouble with Hypnos.
Of course, the idea of giving up was just a thought. After all, since he had already sealed the God of Death and participated in this Holy War as an assistant, there was no way out. If he still had such thoughts in his heart, it would only make him less decisive in battle, which was not beneficial to himself. Therefore, Sei Itō simply used the Intellectual Sword to cut off all distracting thoughts, allowing his heart to become as clear as glass again without any flaws.
Then, Sei Itō raised one hand and slashed at the border of the dream space.
In the bright white light, a huge crescent-shaped sword light immediately slashed at the border of the dream space. With a "boom", fine cracks immediately appeared on the border of the dream space and slowly spread.
Then, Sei Itō moved his arm again and slashed at the cracked border of the dream space again.
"Boom!"
"Crackle …"
In the crisp sound, the border of the dream space shattered like glass, allowing the light of the outside world to shine in.
Suddenly, Sei Itō moved and flew out of the dream space, returning to the real world.
"Hypnos, are you still not ready to come out?" Sei Itō, who was suspended in mid-air, said softly.
His voice was soft. However, the voice was extremely penetrative. It was clearly transmitted into Hades Castle and echoed throughout the entire castle.
In the next moment, ripples appeared in the void, and a handsome young man with golden hair appeared. He was clad in gorgeous black armor and had a hollow pentagram on his forehead. It was none other than the God of Sleep, Hypnos!
"Humans really are interesting," Hypnos said calmly. "To be able to do this, I'm really impressed."
Sei Itō chuckled. He didn't say anything.
"However, this is the end. As someone who has surpassed the limits, your life is destined to come to an end here, as a great sinner who has defied the gods …" Hypnos said.
"Unfortunately, I haven't lived long enough, so the ending you spoke of is destined to never come true." Sei Itō grinned. He said softly.
"Did his confidence swell after successfully sealing Danados and defeating the Four Dream Gods …" Hypnos said softly.
"No. This is my confidence in myself. "Sei Itō retorted.
"Very interesting. I'm often attracted by the many thoughts you humans have in your hearts. Dreams are like that, emotions are like that, arts are like that, flaws are like that, weakness is like that! Weakness! And the foolishness of defying even the gods. "A smile appeared on Hypnos' face as he said slowly.
"Alright. Let me see that so-called confidence of yours. If you're bored, then go to sleep. "
Sei Itō raised his black blade and gently stroked the blade with his left hand as he said slowly, "The arrogance of the gods … If that's the case, then open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"
The moment he finished speaking, Sei Itō's figure suddenly appeared behind Hypnos, and he swung his arm at Hypnos' neck.
"Whoosh ~"
The long blade swung, and Hypnos' body was immediately split into two.
"Hmm?" Sei Itō, who did not feel the tangible sensation of the blade connecting with flesh and bone, narrowed his eyes slightly. The two halves of Hypnos' body slowly disappeared like a mirage.
Immediately afterward, the space suddenly changed, and the clear blue sky turned into a pitch-black cosmic space. A huge meteorite with a long reddish-yellow flame and a sense of oppression hurtled toward Sei Itō.
"This is … Fantasy Manifestation?" Sei Itō narrowed his eyes as he looked up at the falling meteorite.
Then, he swung his blade and slashed out a huge blade of air. It instantly cut through the middle of the meteorite, splitting it into two halves. It brushed past his body and slid down rapidly from the left and right.
Sei Itō turned around and looked at Hypnos, who had not changed his posture not far away.
"Alien Exile! Everything I fantasize about will become reality! "Hypnos laughed evilly.
"Alien Exile. In other words, this ability should have a range of effects, right?" Sei Itō asked faintly.
"So what if it does?" Hypnos asked back.
"Then I'll destroy it!" Sei Itō said loudly.
In an instant, an extremely condensed power erupted from Sei Itō's body. In the air, a huge sword-shaped illusion was formed. It emitted a piercingly cold and sharp sword Qi, cutting fine black cracks in the surrounding space.
Then, Sei Itō waved his right arm and slashed at Hypnos with the Celestial Clouds in his hand and the illusory sword behind him that was influenced by his spiritual will.
The sword light was like a curtain, cutting a huge and terrifying crack in the space between heaven and earth.
As the attacker, Hypnos' eyes narrowed. He stirred his little universe to gather an extremely pure and powerful force in his hands, and raised it high to meet the longsword that cut through the air.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye pushed the air in all directions like a violent storm and tsunami. It swept out a circular, cloudless sky and destroyed the forest on the ground below, creating a huge semicircular crater.
Then, the light dissipated, revealing Sei Itō, whose face was slightly pale, and Hypnos, whose armor was full of cracks, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and brows furrowed. The two of them faced each other in the sky with a few meters between them.
"As expected of the legendary God of Sleep, Hypnos, who possesses great divine power!" Sei Itō, whose face had regained its rosy color, exclaimed in admiration.
"Your performance also exceeded my expectations," Hypnos said faintly. "I have to say, you did very well."
"Should I be honored?" Sei Itō chuckled.
"You should indeed be honored and feel grateful in your heart because of the next attack. I will use my most powerful esoteric skill to bestow you with eternal end, "Hypnos, who ignored the sarcasm in Sei Itō's words, said faintly.
Hearing this, Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and restrained the expression on his face. He was extremely careful in his heart.
This was because he only knew of one esoteric skill of Hypnos, which was the divine power that could be bestowed upon humans, and he did not know if it was also effective on gods in this world — eternal sleep!
At this time, Hypnos slowly raised his right hand, and his entire body burned with purple flames of inhuman quality. Suddenly, he pointed his palm at Sei Itō.
"Fall into that eternal sleep!"
In an instant, a purple mist of light enveloped Sei Itō.
"It's over." Hypnos lowered his arm and looked indifferently at Sei Itō, whose eyes were closed and who was falling to the ground, and said faintly.
But in the next moment, Hypnos' expression changed abruptly. With a soft "poof", a piece of wood replaced Sei Itō's body in mid-air. It fell straight to the ground below. Then, Sei Itō's slightly relieved voice sounded behind Hypnos.
"So your greatest esoteric skill is traceable. I thought it was the same as Danados's invisible force, invisible and formless. You made me so nervous."
Hypnos turned around abruptly and looked at Sei Itō who appeared behind him, but what greeted him was a bright and sharp blade light.
Then, there was a muffled "poof". Hypnos' body slowly split down the middle with a look of shock on his face.
In the next moment, the void trembled, and the huge illusory figure of Hypnos appeared in the sky. However, before he could open his mouth to say anything, a strong suction force suddenly burst out, sucking Hypnos' soul body towards Sei Itō.
In Ito Sei's hands, there was a small silver-white box that looked similar to a music box. On the surface of the box, there was a note written in dark red ink with the name of Athena written in Greek on it. The box was slightly opened. A golden aura full of holiness bloomed from the box, and the strong suction force that pulled Hypnos was generated from the crack!
"Heh ~, it seems that I'm not qualified to laugh at you, Danados." Hypnos, whose body was twisted as he flew into the holy cabinet, said in a low voice. Then, his whole body was completely submerged into the holy cabinet.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not hesitate. He immediately closed the lid with a "snap" and resealed Athena's amulet.
Sei Itō, who had put away the holy cabinet that sealed the twin gods, the God of Sleep and the God of Death, turned his head and said, "Phew ~, only Hades is left." He looked at Hades Castle not far away and whispered to himself.
It's just that for Hades, Ito Seishin doesn't have much confidence in sealing it. After all, as the Lord of the Underworld, the legendary Lord God, Hades was different from the twin gods, the God of Sleep and the God of Death. Although the God of Death was powerful, he was either restrained by Sei Itō's power, or he did not have many attack methods. Moreover, his personality did not like to kill, so he would more or less go easy on him in battle, allowing Sei Itō to take advantage of him. The former was truly cruel, tyrannical, cold, and calm!
Moreover, in the world of Saint Seiya, Hades, the Lord God, had the ability similar to the Creator God. The Underworld and the Pure Land of Bliss used to store his and the twin gods' divine bodies were created by Hades with his own divine power. Although there were also existences like small universes that had the ultimate power to create universes … there was no doubt about Hades's strength.
Therefore, according to Sei Itō's estimation, even if the complete Hades was not a Lord God like the Hades of the Main World — that is, an existence above the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal — he was definitely many times stronger than him, a mere True Immortal who was only one step away from the Golden Immortal Realm!
But fortunately, this Hades was not in his complete state and was only in his divine body. Although the aura of power that he displayed when he first awakened still made Sei Itō's heart palpitate, it was not completely impossible to contend with him. In addition, the attributes of the two of them in terms of clergy, authority, and strength were overlapping. It was not impossible to use this world's Hades to seal him in his divine body.
But before that, I should return to the Holy Realm to look for Athena to understand the Hades of this era. After a while, Sei Itō withdrew his gaze, turned around, and teleported away from Hades Castle, leaving only a faint lingering sound in the air.
Poof!
In the explosion of smoke, Sei Itō's figure appeared on a cliff not far from Hades Castle. Then, he walked to the imprisoned Pandora's side and grabbed her arm without any explanation. Activating his spatial ability, he brought Pandora with him and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Sei Itō and Pandora's figures suddenly appeared in an incomparably spacious stone room in the lower level of the Shrine of Athena in the Holy Realm.
Sei Itō turned his gaze slightly and looked at the Gold Saint Seiya, who was sitting on a stone bed at the innermost end of the stone room. He was wearing a golden Sagittarius Gold Robe, with his eyes closed and holding a golden bow in his hand. Sei Itō then looked at Athena, who was standing beside the Pope, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I did not disappoint you. The Twin Gods have been sealed by me."
After saying that, Sei Itō took out the sacred cabinet that sealed the Twin Gods and held it in his palm.
"Really?!" The Pope's voice was full of shock.
"Of course." Sei Itō closed his palm and put away the sacred cabinet that sealed the Twin Gods. He said calmly, "I don't need to lie to you about this. After all, you can find out if I'm telling the truth after a little investigation."
"Phew, that's great. This is equivalent to opening up a path to directly face Hades." The Pope let out a long sigh, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and turned to look at Athena excitedly.
"Yes," Athena said softly.
"Lady Athena, please give the order to launch a crusade against Hades!" The Pope suddenly knelt on one knee and respectfully requested.
"This …" Athena heard this and could not help but hesitate.
"Athena, this is a rare opportunity. Let us end this Holy War as soon as possible and return peace to the land," the Pope said loudly.
"… I understand. Seki, issue the order to mobilize the Saint Seiya! "After a moment of silence, Athena's expression suddenly changed and she gave the order in a very imposing manner.
"Yes." The Pope lowered his head and replied.
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I believe this opportunity wouldn't have appeared so quickly." Athena looked up at Sei Itō and said softly.
"It's nothing. After all, sealing them is also beneficial to me." Sei Itō smiled indifferently. Then he changed the topic and smiled ambiguously. "But if you really want to thank me, how about giving me another blessing?"
