Chapter 181 : Lightning strikes the Temple of Pluto, Deathmask!
Unbeknownst to him, Athena's Saints had already infiltrated the Underworld and launched an attack on his divine realm!
"How dare you?"
"Wait, does that mean Athena isn't dead either?!"
Hades focused his divine consciousness on the head Shion was holding.
The meticulously maintained illusory head in Shion's hand finally showed a flaw under Hades' divine power.
"Crack..."
Under the divine consciousness, the head completely transformed into crystal-clear ice, lifelike and perfect, but exuding an bone-chilling cold!
At the center of the head, a purple lightning orb radiated an endless aura of destruction!
Thanatos and Hypnos's expressions changed drastically!
"Damn it, it's the power of Chaos Lightning!"
"It's a trap set by that guy, Li Yu!"
"My Lord Hades, get out of the way!"
The divine power of the two Twin Gods instantly locked onto the world-destroying lightning in Shion's hand!
Hades' fury erupted like a volcano!
The endlessDark Qi of Elysium instantly transformed into a raging storm of destruction!
Hades' Temple trembled under his wrath!
"Despicable insects! How dare you profane me with such a trick!!"
A violent divine thought, far beyond Shion's imagination, pierced fiercely into Shion's soul body like billions of red-hot steel needles!
The already cracked Surplice disintegrated into dust under the pure divine might of Hades!
Shion gritted his teeth, condensing his last trace ofTelekinesis and piercing it into the head. He had done his best to delay until this moment!
"Hades, your reign is about to end. I seem to see your doomsday!"
Crack, the head split open, and the purple lightning instantly surged, its blinding power tearing through space like a meteor from outside the Universe, fiercely striking the center of Hades' Temple!
Boom!
The mandalas of Elysium were instantly burned to ashes, and the black stone pillars snapped with a crash.
"My Lord Hades!"
The exclamations of Thanatos and Hypnos were drowned out by the thunder. They could only clumsily use their divine power to protect themselves, watching helplessly as the temple was reduced to ruins... At the same time, the battles in the first seven prisons became more intense, and the Cosmos of the Saints lit up like beacons across the Underworld!
Countless alarm messages poured into the eighth prison like a breaking dam.
The Specters guarding this place and Cocytus fell into complete chaos. They had never imagined that the Sanctuary's counterattack would be so fierce, appearing in the core of the Underworld without a sound!
"First prison in distress! Heavenly Noble Star My Lord was injured by Dohko, the situation is critical..."
"Second prison is in a bitter struggle, requesting reinforcements!"
"Third prison, two Saints attacked, My Lord Aiacos's Cosmo has disappeared!"
The eighth prison is the last and most heavily guarded prison in the Underworld. Those who attempt to rebel against divine rule and commit serious crimes are all cast into the ice prison!
The souls of Saints who participated in previous Holy Wars could not be reincarnated and were imprisoned here forever. Their bodies were frozen by ten thousand years of ice, with only their heads exposed above the ice, their eye sockets filled with frost, long devoid of life.
But at this moment, the heads beneath the ice slowly awakened.
The Specters' panicked shouts reached their ears. The ice shards on their eyelashes fell, and their parched lips trembled slightly.
The panicked voices of the Specters reached their ears.
"Cocytus entrance! Two Gold Saints and five Bronze Saints have invaded. Use all your strength to stop them; don't let them reach here!"
"They're finally here..."
A weak voice came from beneath the ice, it was Ox, the Taurus Saint from the era before last.
"They finally fought their way here!"
"Scum!"
Another head roared, its voice filled with hatred suppressed for thousands of years.
"Just wait! As long as we can break free, I will repay all the suffering we endured these years, twofold!"
...In Elysium, Hades' Temple lay in ruins, and the statue of Hades in the center of the main hall was left with only half its body!
Shion's soul, having taken a direct impact, disintegrated into countless light particles, on the verge of complete dissipation.
Elysium, the location of the highest throne in the Underworld, was plunged into unprecedented chaos.
With his statue destroyed, Hades' divine consciousness had no anchor and could only transform into a black smoke, swirling continuously in the air, letting out roars of fury!
"Thanatos, Hypnos, stop them, at all costs!"
"Immediately proceed to the eighth prison; it must not be lost!"
Hypnos and Thanatos couldn't bother to clean up the mess here!
For the first time, an expression named 'shock' appeared on their faces.
Half of it came from Hades' terrifying, destructive pressure in his rage, and the other half from the sudden panic of the Saints' surprise attack on their core stronghold!
For thousands of years, the impregnable defense system of the Underworld had been torn open with several fatal breaches in just a few minutes.
The Saints' target was actually the core of the Underworld, the eighth prison, Cocytus!
Many blasphemers were imprisoned there; if it were breached by the Saints, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The two dared not delay and departed in two streaks of light.
Hades' divine consciousness suddenly swooped down, condensing into a giant black hand that clutched Shion's soul.
"Damn mortal, you have thoroughly enraged me! You want to die? It's not that easy! I will make you suffer for billions of years, never to find release!"
Under Hades' divine power, Shion's dissipating soul miraculously healed, but his body was entangled with chains, covered in thorns that deeply pierced Shion's soul.
Shion seemed to feel no pain; he simply smiled faintly.
"Li Yu, I have done my part. Now, it's up to you all..."
Hades' black smoke violently churned, clearly enraged by Shion's composure.
But just then, his divine consciousness suddenly caught a familiar aura from the eighth prison.
Buried memories flooded his mind. In his previous reincarnation, his vessel had died in the womb, unable to bear Hades' aura, and Pandora had to find another child to house a wisp of his divided soul.
This aura was the faint fluctuation emanating from his earthly reincarnation body!
As if calling to him!
"Heh heh..."
Hades' laughter was sinister. He threw Shion's soul towards Pandora, who had arrived.
"Keep an eye on him! I want these foolish Saints to taste the true power of a god!"
Hades' divine soul roared away!
Pandora, with a shocked expression, knelt beside Shion, shaking her head and sighing.
"You've really caused big trouble this time. Do you know, My Lord Hades has never fought in his true form? Once his true form appears, no one can defeat him!"
"Even Li Yu is no match for him!"
The eternal silence of the eighth prison was completely shattered by the Cosmos of the Saints.
The boundless ancient ice was constantly shattered and splashed by violent energy, but it quickly re-solidified into ice!
As far as the eye could see, there were blue ice fields radiating an aura of despair.
Beneath the ice were countless distorted faces of pain.
These were the souls of past rebels, permanently frozen. Now, sensing the familiar Cosmo, some of the frozen faces twitched slightly, revealing a glimmer of hope!
Seven Saints, enduring the Specters' attacks, rushed into the endless ice field!
Mu's Crystal Wall condensed into a transparent Crystal Wall, enduring the secret techniques attacking from all directions, with the crisp sound of shattering echoing continuously!
Aldebaran was like a roaring golden giant bull, each punch carrying immense power.
The Bronze Five also unleashed their maximum Cosmo, desperately trying to open a path.
"Damn it, in such a vast Cocytus, where exactly do we activate the Goddess's blood?"
Sweat steamed from Aldebaran's body, his massive physique like a steam train, radiating endless heat!
Seiya unleashed Pegasus Meteor Fist, quickly saying!
"Deathmask! Li Yu told me that finding Deathmask will activate his contingency plan!"
They fought and called out a name.
"Deathmask!"
Now, as long as they found Deathmask, they could release the Goddess's divine blood and activate Li Yu's contingency plan, at which point the tables would immediately turn!
Finally, a faint voice came.
"Here, here, Seiya, Shiryu, I'm here..."
