Chapter 188 : The unbreakable Wall of Sighs, Athena's decision!
The twelve Libra Weapons—longswords, three-section staffs, spears, nunchaku, and round shields—shone with brilliant golden light as they flew into the hands of the twelve contemporary Gold Saints present.
Even Deathmask and Aiolos, who had already passed away, now stood before Wall of Sighs; due to the presence of true spirits within their souls, they appeared far more powerful than the other Saints.
Clutching the legendary Libra Weapons, bestowed by the gods and possessing the power to dispel evil and reveal justice, hope rekindled in the eyes of the Gold Saints.
The twelve Libra Weapons were once the ultimate tools for the Sanctuary to combat Hades' Army; in ancient times, the Pope and Libra Saint, Itia, maximized the power of the Libra Weapons.
He created the myth of using the Libra Weapons to wipe out half of Hades' Army in a single move, a prime example of weapons and Saint souls coexisting.
If utilized well, the power of the Gold Weapons was enough to kill a god!
"Hooah!"
Mu, Aldebaran, Saga, Deathmask, Aiolia, Shaka, Dohko, Milo, Aiolos, Shura, Camus, and Aphrodite—the twelve contemporary Gold Saints gathered together.
Although two of them were in soul form, at this moment, they seemed to have fully come alive, their bodies emitting golden light, vivid and lifelike... The twelve roared in unison, pouring their Cosmo unreservedly into the weapons in their hands.
Instantly, an unprecedented dazzling radiance erupted before Wall of Sighs!
Twelve golden energy torrents, each distinct yet equally fierce, roared forth, converging into a destructive flood powerful enough to tear apart stars and shake the realm of gods, aimed directly at that wall of despair that separated life and Death!
Boom!
The deafening roar made the entire Underworld tremble, and the Impact generated by the energy collision swept outwards like a tangible tsunami, even pushing back some of the Saint heroic spirits who were a little too close.
Smoke, light, and rampant energy fragments filled the entire space, blurring all vision.
However, as the world-destroying energy storm gradually subsided and the dust slowly cleared... silence, a deathly silence.
The despairing barrier, so deep it swallowed all light, still stood majestically before everyone.
The ancient dark runes on the wall seemed to glow a little brighter, like a glutton after a feast... The tormented faces on the wall twisted and opened their mouths wide, as if mocking their overestimation of their own strength.
The combined attack of the twelve Libra Weapons, an assault capable of shattering any creation, failed to leave even the slightest crack on this wall of law.
Wall of Sighs, like the materialized will of Hades' Death law, coldly declared:
This road is impassable, living beings stop here!
In Elysium, Hades, along with Hypnos and the other three gods, who were observing the outside world, all let out sneers, seemingly mocking the Saints' overestimation of their own abilities.
Hades slowly sat back on his throne.
He secretly congratulated himself that it was right not to act rashly... The tide is with me, Athena, you ultimately cannot defeat me... The flame of hope slowly extinguished in the eyes of the Gold Saints, replaced by a deep sense of frustration and endless bewilderment.
Their arms, holding the Libra Weapons, dropped powerlessly.
Even the Libra Weapons couldn't break through Wall of Sighs, or even leave a trace on it... What other method could possibly destroy this Wall of Sighs?
Could it be that this time, the Sanctuary, with its greatest advantage, would ultimately return empty-handed?
Wait... it seems we've forgotten something!
Almost instinctively, the contemporary twelve Gold Saints, the Bronze Five, and even some heroic spirits from previous generations.
All simultaneously turned towards the figure who had remained quietly at the edge of the battlefield, Aquarius Li Yu!
He wore the flowing and radiant aquarius god cloth, his White cape gently fluttering in the Death aura of the Underworld.
From the Gold Saints' initial attack to the eruption of the Libra Weapons, and now to their complete failure, he maintained his unperturbed demeanor.
His gaze was deep, his expression calm... as if waiting for something.
Li Yu's expression already conveyed his attitude.
This was also his silent refusal; Li Yu was clearly stating, I will not act, nor will I attempt to shake this wall.
Li Yu's silence, like a basin of ice Water, extinguished the last spark in the hearts of the Gold Saints.
They could understand Li Yu's silence; a destined futile effort was better left undone.
After all, Li Yu was the strongest Gold Saint of this era, and if he failed again, the Sanctuary's morale would plummet... Just as the atmosphere of despair was almost solidifying into a tangible form.
"Everyone..."
Athena, wearing her divine Cloth radiating golden light and holding the scepter of nike, slowly walked to Wall of Sighs.
She stood with her back to the others, raising her head to face the despairing barrier, her silhouette slender yet incredibly firm.
Then, she slowly turned around, her purple hair gently swaying with the divine power fluctuations, her gaze sweeping over the face of every Gold Saint.
Dohko, Saga, Kanon, Aiolia, Mu, Milo, Aldebaran, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, Shaka... Her gaze held deep apology and an inexpressible heaviness.
"I understand the cruelty of battle..."
Her voice echoed clearly before Wall of Sighs, carrying a hint of an almost imperceptible tremble.
"But Wall of Sighs, formed from the despair of billions of deceased beings over countless years, is unbreakable; only by the full power of the twelve contemporary Gold Saints, burning everything, and with the aid of their Gold Cloth, is there a slim possibility of piercing through it!"
Athena heavily struck her Scepter down, and a sacred radiance enveloped all the Saints present; an indescribable feeling instantly affected everyone!
This feeling did not act upon their physical bodies, but directly upon the true spirits at the core of their souls, representing the origin of life and the root of a Saint's power!
"For the love and justice of the Earth, to end this Eternity of reincarnation..."
Athena's voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable resolve.
"This is... the final Holy War! For the Earth to return to light, my warriors, burn your Cosmo!"
The scepter of nike erupted with an unprecedented brilliant light.
Athena's figure appeared incredibly sacred in the light.
The Cosmo of the twelve Gold Saints broke through the darkness of Hades' Army, appearing like twelve Suns before Wall of Sighs!
Li Yu sneered and slowly walked forward.
He knew that Athena was sacrificing the twelve contemporary Gold Saints to gain the only chance to pierce Wall of Sighs and end the Holy War!
Camus, at this moment, felt as if his entire body was on Fire, an endless surge of power pouring from the depths of his soul!
He couldn't help but let out a loud roar.
"Aaaah!"
Crack!
Accompanied by a clear sound, a large hand firmly pressed on his shoulder, and a cold current surged into his body, Camus gradually calmed down; he looked back in confusion, and what met his eyes was Li Yu's indifferent handsome face.
"Li Yu, are you going to?"
Li Yu calmly met Camus's blue eyes, and he said faintly.
"A-Miao, do you remember what I told you when we were kids?"
Click!
Camus's frozen memories were instantly reawakened...
