Chapter 192 : Break through the Wall of Sighs and enter the Pure Land of Bliss!
The vast Sun energy accumulated in Li Yu's body erupted like a long-dormant supernova!
Superman might not be able to release the stellar power within his cells like Li Yu.
But a Gold Saint who has awakened the Eighth Sense has masterful control over every ounce of their power.
Controlling the outward release of Cosmo energy from within the body is the first lesson Saints must master upon entry.
At this moment, Li Yu's Cosmo no longer manifested as the cold, suffocating Absolute Zero, but as the purest, life-giving light originating from the core of a star.
This light was gentle yet immense, carrying the most fatal restraint against the death qi of the Underworld and the despair of the specters.
It did not violently assault Wall of Sighs, but rather, like a warm tide, it instantly permeated the despairing barrier before Li Yu's eyes.
For the first time, sunlight appeared deep within the Underworld, and the specters forming Wall of Sighs all showed expressions of nostalgia.
"It's sunlight…"
"How nostalgic…"
Strands of black aura peeled off Wall of Sighs, swirling in the air before finally disappearing.
Soon, a massive void, its edges flowing with the breath of despair, rapidly formed in the center of Wall of Sighs!
Warm golden light, for the first time, penetrated the ancient barrier that had stood there since the Underworld's inception.
The sunlight spilled beyond Wall of Sighs, onto that supreme utopia, Elysium, which legend said only those with pure hearts and gods could enter!
Everyone could even see through the massive void: Elysium, with its lush green grass, blooming flowers, and clear sky, where beautiful Mandarava flowers bloomed in the sunlight… At this very moment, this pure land, which should have belonged solely to Hades, was enveloped in a deathly silence of shock!
Hades, seated on the throne of Hades and leaning on the sword of hades, suddenly stood up, his peerlessly handsome face devoid of any composure, leaving only extreme horror and disbelief.
"Wall of Sighs… broken? Impossible! A mortal… how could he, by himself, dissolve Wall of Sighs?!"
The last barrier he relied upon, the capital he used to mock Li Yu, collapsed before his eyes.
This overturned all his understanding of power and of humans.
What terrified him even more was that the sunlight piercing through the void made him feel an unprecedented threat; Li Yu's power was rapidly spreading into Elysium.
Hypnos, God of Sleep, and his three children, Oneiros, Morpheus, and Ikelos.
They knelt on one knee beneath Hades, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Ever since witnessing the fall of the God of Death, Phantasos's self-detonation, and then Wall of Sighs being dissolved by the Sun power unleashed by Li Yu himself.
Their faith and their pride as gods were shattered by Li Yu.
The four looked out at the golden, divine figure beyond the void, their eyes filled only with uncontrollable fear.
Li Yu was not a mortal at all; even among gods, those who could achieve what he had done were few and far between!
The Saints, moreover, seemed to have collectively been subjected to a silence magic; whether it was the heroic spirits of past generations just freed from Cocytus, or the contemporary Gold Saints divided into two factions and confronting each other, or even the Bronze Five, all fell into a deathly silence.
The Wall of Despair, which they had struggled with all their might, even using Gold weapons, yet could not shake, was easily melted by Li Yu in this manner!
Mixed emotions filled everyone's hearts; indeed, only names could be mistaken, not nicknames, and the Strongest Gold Saint was truly deserving of the title!
Aiolos, Saga, Camus, and other Saints on Li Yu's side, looked at his radiant figure and all smiled, shaking their heads.
It was indeed right to trust Li Yu and stand by him!
Dohko, Mu, and other Saints on Athena's side trembled violently, their hearts in turmoil.
This Holy War was almost entirely Li Yu's plan, and in the end, he alone broke Wall of Sighs.
Athena's long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, dancing ceaselessly under Li Yu's immense power.
The usually graceful and elegant Goddess of Victory and Wisdom was now staring blankly at the dissolved void.
Li Yu, bathed in golden light, although not wearing the Aquarius Cloth, made even the light of the Staff of Victory pale in comparison to his radiance.
Athena's beautiful face was filled with shock and bewilderment, and countless questions arose in her mind.
When did Li Yu become this strong?
He could actually dissolve Wall of Sighs by himself?
What about his true spirit? Why can't he be controlled by me?
Was my decision to abandon the Gold Saints and train five Bronze Saints for this Holy War truly correct?
Athena had always believed that sacrificing the twelve Gold Saints was the only way to break Wall of Sighs and end the Holy War.
That was why she painstakingly trained the Bronze Five from scratch, only so that after breaking Wall of Sighs, there would still be people to face Hades with her.
But now, Li Yu, with his incredible power, accomplished a task she believed impossible for mortals, in a completely different way that avoided needless sacrifice.
The revolutionary nature of Li Yu's actions made her cherished righteousness and sacrifice seem so pale, weak, and ridiculous.
The gazes from the numerous heroic spirits completely shook her position in the hearts of all Saints.
Why must we sacrifice the souls and lives of us Gold Saints for something Li Yu alone can achieve?
Facing the doubts and suspicions, Athena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the tumultuous waves in her heart; she knew she had to do something at this moment.
She slowly turned to face all the Saints.
Her gaze first swept over the contemporary Gold Saints, especially Li Yu, Camus, and Aiolos, and then over the liberated heroic spirits of past generations.
She bowed deeply, a supremely solemn bow befitting a supreme deity.
"Everyone…"
Her voice was no longer condescending, carrying a hint of hoarseness and shock.
"I… Athena, hereby apologize for my… stubbornness and ignorance to all of you!"
Her gaze finally settled on Li Yu, complex and difficult to fathom.
"Li Yu, your power and path are beyond my comprehension; you are right, no sacrifice is needed to break through Wall of Sighs!"
Athena's apology significantly alleviated the resentment in the hearts of many Saints.
Aiolos's tightly clenched fist slightly loosened.
"Now!"
Athena straightened her body, pointing the Staff of Victory towards the massive void in Wall of Sighs, her eyes rekindling with resolute fighting spirit.
"Let us cross Wall of Sighs! And completely end this Holy War that has lasted for thousands of years, target Hades!"
The numerous heroic spirits of the Saints, imprisoned for so many years, were filled with indignation; now, with a chance to pull Hades from his throne, how could they not be overjoyed?
"For the human world! End the Eternal Eclipse!"
The roars of the Saints converged into a torrent.
Athena's lips curved slightly; she heavily struck her staff down, and golden divine light enveloped everyone.
To pass through Wall of Sighs, one must have divine protection; even Pandora had to rely on the divine artifact bestowed upon her by Hades to pass safely, otherwise, she would be torn to shreds by the spatial-temporal surges in the Divine Passage.
The heroic spirits of past Saints, the twelve contemporary Gold Saints, and the Bronze Five, under the protection of Athena's divine power, like a golden torrent, passed through the Divine Passage melted by sunlight, and majestically entered Elysium!
