At this moment, all the magical power of Europe was converging towards the United Kingdom. Knights, witches, and magicians, like countless stars, rushed in this direction. Liliana saw a spiritual light calling to her. Drawing near, she found it was Princess Alice and His Majesty Alexander, seated in a magical carriage.
"Princess? What happened?" Liliana, upon seeing her friend, immediately dispelled the Artemis Layer behind her and landed beside the carriage.
She quickly explained the situation: "I had intended to transmit information about that Heretic God and why he appeared in the United Kingdom, but he is already battling the Heretic God within that Ancient Night."
"His Majesty Seiya?!" Liliana heard the name and couldn't help but recall the Saint who, merely by his charisma, had the Dragon of Naples waiting by his side.
"Is it he who is now fighting the Heretic God?"
Thinking of this, Liliana inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but the thought of this Saint inexplicably brought a sense of reassurance.
"But relying solely on his power, it will be very difficult to defeat this ancient Earth Mother God. I had originally wanted Alec at this moment to abandon his pride as a Godslayer and actively send out a call for help to other Godslayers, but now he has been knocked down by Seiya. Unless Ancient Night expands into other Godslayers' territories, otherwise, according to the customary rules among Godslayers, those Majesties probably won't intervene."
"Then, can you issue a call for help as the President of the Sages' Council?" Liliana thought of this.
"There's no other way; we have to do it." Princess Alice gritted her teeth.
But at that very moment, they saw the darkness not far away swelling crazily. Before they could even think, they were swallowed by the suddenly expanding Ancient Night.
And this situation didn't just affect the two of them; it also enveloped other unprepared magicians who had gotten too close.
The Goddess's invitation was real; Seiya's Seventh Sense had already told him the answer.
The Night Serpent behind her suddenly unfurled itself, lightning serpents surged through the dark clouds, and starlight interwove into a magnificent painting.
Within the painting, heaven and earth were unformed, everything shrouded, filling the boundless cosmos, truly a single form, now named Night. Before all things, there was Night.
A beam of light cut through the darkness, giving rebirth to God's Domain, the Human World, and the Underworld. And the first ray of light, symbolizing Seiya, transformed into the pioneering God-King ruling this world. He was the child of the Dark Mother God, and would also be her husband.
He was the God of light, hope, beauty, opportunity, wealth, and egress. He was also the God of creation, transforming all things.
Looking at the painting before him was like looking at a future about to unfold.
That flourishing mythical God-world would be ushered in by them. As heaven and earth moved and many Gods were born, the Golden Age once saw humanity bloom across the world like countless flowers.
Seiya held his breath; the painting before his eyes presented him with an incomparably magnificent mythical God-world, where there was no barrier between humans and the Divine. Civilization flourished on earth, and humans erected sky-piercing towers on various continents, praising the great achievements of the God-King named Pegasus.
A new myth would begin from this point, and he, Seiya, would protect humanity and the Earth as the God-King.
"It sounds beautiful, so beautiful it almost tempts me." Seiya chuckled, "But you see, I am a clumsy person, not very eloquent, and unable to judge whether a path is correct or not."
Metis stood tall in the sky, her gaze continuously following Seiya until dazzling light once again flared around him.
"But precisely because of this, I trust my warrior's instincts even more!"
The light mass of Atomic Thunder Bolt broke through the gloomy frost of the swirling dark clouds, simultaneously tearing apart the painting spanning the night sky. Only then did the object behind the painting reveal itself.
It was a platinum-colored giant egg; only it was the true light of this world. It was also the Light God revealed to him in the myth of the Triune Goddess, the Light God.
And also his own Authority — Pegasus. But the prerequisite for everything was his death, to be reincarnated as the true Heretic God, Pegasus.
"It's alright; it's normal for you not to understand yet." The Triune Goddess looked with doting eyes at the Saint who was once again glowing before her, as if looking at a rebellious child. "But after you are born, you will understand everything."
She herself was a Heretic God, rebellious against myth. She didn't need to know how Seiya felt; only how she felt mattered.
The Heretic Metis once again raised her Death God Scythe. At this moment, the Saint could no longer escape her grasp.
He had already revealed his last trump card.
Originally, she didn't know what Authority Seiya had usurped from Melqart. Seiya had never displayed this Authority in front of anyone, and in battles between Godslayers and Heretic Gods, Authorities can completely overturn the outcome.
However, it was not the true sun that countered her; this was the key to Metis securing victory.
"It seems the Eastern God of War's mighty fortune doesn't favor you outside of battle, Pegasus!" Metis cackled, "Submit to death, submit to hope, and to your own fate!"
Metis slowly moved her arms, lowering her body, holding the Death God Scythe and the Staff of Separation. The Triune Goddess pushed her combat power to the extreme.
Ten thousand black serpents swallowed the Saint whose light was dimming before her. As the master of Ancient Night, Metis could acutely perceive all of the opponent's divine states and movements. Even as this fatal killing blow approached him, his expression still carried a high, surging battle intent.
Yes. If viewed from a game's perspective, his current predicament in the world of Ancient Night meant his light-attribute attacks were weakened and his endurance reduced. Meanwhile, Metis's attributes were comprehensively boosted, and holding a God-myth origin special attack, she now held all the advantages.
But from beginning to end, restraint was never such an absolute matter.
"The warm-up is over. A stage befitting you has been set. Come on—" Seiya summoned the brand new power within him.
In the next moment, a vermillion radiance swallowed the sky-filled black serpents, and a great sun illuminated the night sky!
—Hmph!!!
Metis instinctively shielded her eyes with her arm.
At the center of that light mass, a familiar wheel of light thoroughly illuminated the vast world. The light wheel was reddish and glowing, appearing more like the sun during a total eclipse. Even in the world of night, the bright solar corona still brought light to the human world at this moment. This was something beyond the comprehension of a Heretic God—
And it was at this moment that Seiya raised his hand.
A new radiance, an even more brilliant solar scorpion glow, rose with Seiya at its center.
Come forth—Orion Cloth! Solar Scorpion Form!
