In the Underworld, Sixth Hell, in a secret passage, three figures were rapidly dashing towards the Great Blood Waterfall. They were the three-person squad dispatched by Sanctuary for this mission, to obtain the Mokurenji Fruit.
"Just the three of us? Doesn't your Sanctuary have more suitable personnel?" The now Heavenly Crane Silver Saint, having obtained his Cloth, frowned somewhat displeasedly at Yato, his temporary partner.
"Nonsense! You just need to obey Lord Pope's command! If the Pope says it's possible, then it definitely is! If you're afraid, cower behind me!" The Unicorn Saint Yato frowned.
"Lord Pope also said that Lord Pegasus would go kill the Specters. Listening to their conversation, that Saint called Pegasus truly seems capable of completely sealing the Specters' Cosmos? Or perhaps transferring it? How did he manage that?" Lethe was somewhat surprised.
Their Jamir Clan was originally skilled in various sealing arts, but they had never dared to imagine stripping Specters of their Cosmo. But it seemed this Saint called Pegasus could truly accomplish it.
"If it's Lord Pegasus, then it's certainly possible!" Yato said with conviction.
"Why are you so certain?" Lethe was somewhat skeptical.
"Because he can do it. Lord Shion is also from the Jamir Clan, just like you, right? According to him, Lord Pegasus possesses an unknown but special power dwelling within him, enough to contend with the Death Gods. Whether it's turning the wicked Specters into nutrients to nourish the barren earth, or repelling Death Gods, I believe it will ultimately be Lord Pegasus who repels Hades!"
Yato's voice grew softer and softer, not because he lacked confidence. It was because he had already seen the distant blood-red color.
That was the Great Blood Waterfall connecting the Sixth Hell and the Seventh Hell, and the Mokurenji Tree, capable of sealing Specters, was right there.
At this moment, Lord Pegasus and the other Gold Saints were fighting the Death Gods for their actions. If they couldn't complete the mission successfully, Yato wouldn't forgive himself!
The Sun Scorpion Mode, previously infused into the Orion Cloth, reappeared. Even Seiya's Pegasus Cloth, enveloped by a potent Strong Wind, disintegrated and reformed at this moment, evolving into a completely new form.
"How... is this possible?" The two Gold Saints observing from afar couldn't believe their eyes.
They were aware of certain special Cloths: the God Robes worn by the warriors serving Chief God Odin in Asgard of Norse Mythology. And there was also the Corona Cloth, only mentioned in legends, exclusively used by the Corona Saints who served the Sun God Abel, its performance and defense both surpassing Gold Cloths. Its exterior was surrounded by millions of degrees Celsius of Sun Scorpion Flames, capable of infinitely generating solar energy, hence it was called the Solar Sacred Robe.
But neither the God Robe nor the Sun Scorpion Cloth originally had any relation to Pegasus as battle garments. Yet, at this moment, they were combined, and further propelled by the Authority of an unknown deity, all three simultaneously enhanced the Saint's power without limit. The Space of Death that had originally encroached upon Seiya was simultaneously neutralized by the Sun Scorpion Flame protection.
Originally, the Sun Scorpion Flames could not achieve this extent, but the essence of these Corona Flames was the White Horse, and the special attack against evil it possessed dissolved the death before them as if melting solid ice.
"This is already a God War!" the Cancer Gold Saint murmured.
At this moment, both Alone and Seiya were silent, both striding towards each other in unison. The Underworld Domain belonging to Hades and the Sun Scorpion Domain collided and canceled each other out. The light arcs generated at the edges of the two domains grew increasingly dazzling, until finally, the figures of both sides blurred within them.
Seiya and Alone charged at each other, endless light and darkness splattering in all directions. Darkness and Burning Yang Flame now wove thick, vibrant strokes across the battlefield like an ink wash painting. The immense clash of fists and primal forces sounded like the symphony of destruction from the deepest reaches of Hell!
Pandora struggled to maintain her stance in this space. She no longer knew what she was supposed to do. Logically, she should be helping Lord Hades kill this hateful Pegasus...
But, but, Pandora recalled Alone's expression as he charged towards Pegasus just now. His lips seemed to be smiling? It was a smile he had never shown before to her, his elder sister.
But compared to the frantically indecisive Pandora, the observers, who only wished to witness Lord Hades' human vessel entering a new phase, were already satisfied.
An attack from the void locked onto Seiya's back. Those were countless translucent gray threads, Undead wandering in Hell, dominated by the God of Death—special attacks specifically targeting souls.
The God of Death, Thanatos, finally appeared at this moment. The timing he chose was undeniably clever; this was a critical moment where Seiya and Alone were struggling against each other, making defense almost impossible.
But it was precisely at this moment that a fourth voice resonated in the air.
"—Sekishiki Meikai Ha!"
The Praesepe Cluster, or Ghost Host Star Cluster, of the Cancer Constellation is called Sekishiki in China. Sekishiki is formed by the concentrated jealousy of countless billions of ghastly corpses rising like will-o'-the-wisps from mountains of accumulated bodies. In other words, the Praesepe Cluster is the ascension point for souls in this world.
The Undead that were about to engulf Seiya from behind twisted and diverted their direction under the descending white light, disappearing into the opened spatial tunnel. And this attack did not end; the fist belonging to Manigoldo, the Cancer Gold Saint, was already crashing down before Thanatos, the God of Death.
A violent shockwave erupted at the other end of the battlefield. Thanatos, the God of Death, looked at the Gold Saint before him, who displayed unconcealed hatred, fury, and even joy towards him.
"Manigoldo of Cancer, I never thought that frail humans like you would still have the courage to strike at a god." Thanatos, the God of Death, showed no change in expression. With just one finger, he blocked Manigoldo's full-power attack.
"You seem to harbor intense anger and hatred towards me. Did I kill your dear friends or relatives at some point?"
The Cancer Saint gave a cruel smile, changing his stance in the air again. As his twin arms moved, he unleashed the Cancer Pincer Kill.
"But it doesn't matter. Since you can't discern the difference in power, yet dare to appear before a god, then I shall bestow upon you the death you deserve. I will take your life, Gold Saint, as compensation for Veronica of the Heavenly Beast Star, who just fell into eternal sleep."
Thanatos, the God of Death, raised his hand, and purple light gathered in his palm. He prepared to kill this ignorant human with a single blow!
"—Ultimate Heavenly Might!"
