If he severely injures you, you are likely to suffer permanent damage, which will give you an advantage in subsequent battles.

But after realizing this, Wuxin immediately understood that his chance to win had arrived.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Sasha!"

"Let the goddess of war and wisdom be the eternal benevolent deity in our hearts!"

As he spoke, he held onto the divine spear embedded in his body, enduring the pain and exhaustion, and continued to gather the power of his cosmos into his right hand.

Although the physical body is completely destroyed, for a god, this is not the end.

Because their souls can still act independently, they only need to find a new physical body to be resurrected.

As expected, as soon as Wu Xin finished speaking, accompanied by a powerful burst of cosmic energy, Athena's soul appeared from nothingness.

She still looked like the female war goddess, but her entire form had become much more ethereal, like a semi-transparent afterimage.

"Damn it!"

"How dare you ruin my body!"

"Then use your immortal body to make amends!"

Athena roared and immediately pounced on Wuxin.

Perhaps Wuxin's body and her soul are not very compatible, but the powerful basic qualities of an immortal body can offset various defects.

Most importantly, Wuxin was pinned down by her divine spear and unable to escape for the time being, which was a good opportunity for her to seize the opportunity and also to kill Wuxin completely.

But things are clearly not that easy.

"Don't think about it!"

Sasha's consciousness surged forth once more, intertwining with Athena's main consciousness.

For a moment, Athena was once again at a standstill, unable to continue her actions.

Seeing the power accumulating in Wuxin's hands growing stronger, Athena became increasingly anxious.

She completely abandoned her entanglement with Sasha and struggled to lunge towards Wuxin.

Just as Athena's finger was about to touch Wuxin, a smile appeared on Wuxin's face.

"It's over, Athena!"

He suddenly raised his right hand and pointed a finger at Athena's brow.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi - Absolute - Sealed Time White Abyss"

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Forty-eight streams of accumulated corpse energy were released from Wu Xin's fingertips, like forty-eight silver dragons that directly enveloped Athena's soul.

"Do not--"

As if foreseeing her own end, Athena let out a terrified roar and struggled desperately.

However, without a physical body to rely on, the singular soul becomes extremely vulnerable, and with Sasha's consciousness entangled within, Athena's resistance is far weaker than before.

"receive!"

Wu Xin effortlessly connected the forty-eight silver dragons end to end, transforming them into forty-eight chains that bound him.

"Abandon that terrifying ambition!"

"Let us once again become the guardian goddess revered by the world!" Sasha continued to persuade, while her consciousness entangled with Athena's.

"No—you damned bastard!"

How could you betray me for these mortals!

Athena was filled with grief and indignation, but no matter how she resisted, she could not break free from the chains of corpse energy that Wuxin had bound.

She even tried to use the same trick again, summoning the Divine Cloth of the Giant Seat for help, but it was completely ineffective. Sasha's consciousness was desperately obstructing her, preventing her from giving the correct commands.

"Lock!"

Wu Xin snorted coldly and manipulated the forty-eight chains of accumulated corpse energy to continue tightening.

Before our eyes, Athena's soul was forcibly shrunk, eventually becoming a pale point of light.

"Thank you for your help, Megatron!"

"The rest is up to you!"

After bidding farewell to Wuxin in the end, Sasha's consciousness, along with Athena's soul, was collapsed by Wuxin, turning into a pale vortex.

"Goodbye, Lord Sasha!"

After making his final farewell to the pale vortex, Wuxin banished it directly into the endless void.

With his current strength, this spiritual black hole can last for a long time.

Perhaps he will never see this goddess of war and wisdom again.

As Athena was completely sealed away, the divine spear that had been embedded in Wuxin's body also vanished along with Athena, leaving only a hole the size of a bowl.

Healed!

He lowered his head, glanced at the wound on his chest, and immediately mobilized his inner power to activate his self-healing ability.

Without the suppression of the divine artifact, his wounds healed much faster. Countless granulation tissues grew out, intertwined with each other, and eventually turned into a new mass of flesh and blood to fill the gap.

"Next, we have this world on the verge of destruction!"

Wu Xin stepped out of the void and returned to the prime material plane, arriving at the sea area where the previous battle had taken place.

This place was once the ruins of Triton Island, but now only a huge fissure remains, with endless lava gushing from the earth's core, turning the surrounding sea into a sea of ​​fire.

Upon seeing him reappear, Odysseus rushed over with the remaining Saints.

However, apart from Odysseus, all the other Saints, including Yoruichi of the Crane constellation, were in a state of mental collapse.

They could not accept that their goddess, the guardian of the earth, would want to sacrifice the entire world for her own selfish reasons.

Chapter 570 Mending the Sky with One's Own Body

"Why are you all looking so long-faced?"

"We've defeated a formidable enemy; you should be happy!" Wu Xin said casually to the group.

The group looked up at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Junior brother, is that... really our goddess?"

After hesitating for a while, Tengyusa Yoru finally mustered up his courage and looked hopefully at Wuxin.

"Yes, that's our Athena!" Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Wuxin nodded vigorously.

He knew what this answer meant to those people, but he had no reason to lie.

Upon hearing this, the group deflated like punctured balloons, their eyes losing all their luster.

Seeing this, Wuxin quickly said, "However, that's just the goddess's evil side!"

"Just as people can be divided into good and evil, so too can goddesses!"

"Because of a single wrong thought, the goddess harbored a terrible evil intention, thus creating the current situation!"

"But goddesses also have a kind side!"

"She is a kind goddess who protects the earth!"

"When our goddess abandons her evil thoughts one day, she will naturally return to her original form!"

It's a small lie, but for the Saint Seiya warriors, they need this lie to sustain their spiritual beliefs and to have enough courage to continue living.

However, in a sense, it is not entirely a lie.

Although Athena's main consciousness wanted to sacrifice the world, her secondary consciousness, Sasha, wanted to protect it, truly representing two sides of good and evil.

"is this real?"

Hearing this, Ye and the others raised their heads again, their eyes filled with hope.

"Yes, really!"

Wu Xin nodded and continued, "Your next task is to rebuild the Sanctuary, safeguard order, and await the return of the goddess Athena!"

"But……"

Ye looked troubled, then looked around and said, "Junior brother, the world is about to be destroyed, and we can hardly even guarantee our survival. Can we really rebuild the Holy Domain?"

Wu Xin took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Leave the world to me!"

"The Holy Land is now yours!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't mean to try and fix the world all by yourself, do you?" Odysseus was immediately astonished.

Looking at the constantly tearing sky, Wu Xin said heavily, "Lord Sasha is willing to believe in us and entrust the future of the world to us!"

"Then, of course we can't let you down, sir!"

"We must not let those vulnerable people who are on the verge of death despair!"

"This is the mission and responsibility of the Saint Seiya!"

After saying that, he turned around and gave Odysseus and the others a deep look.

"But can you really do it?" Odysseus still expressed doubt.

He admired Wuxin's courage and determination, but that didn't mean he was willing to believe that Wuxin could save a world on the verge of destruction.

Wu Xin looked serious and said earnestly, "Don't even mention me, even Athena in her prime couldn't repair this broken world."

The world has deteriorated to an extremely serious degree, beyond human control, and even the gods cannot reverse it.

Perhaps only the legendary 'God above Gods' has a chance to try.

But such an existence is merely a legend, even for a chief goddess like Athena.

“However, I can still try to stabilize the status quo and stop the destruction of the world!” Wu Xin said with a determined look.

"What are you planning to do?" Odysseus hurriedly asked.

Wu Xin looked at a stretch of sea not far away and said seriously, "That is the land where Atlas supports the sky, connecting the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. It is an extremely special place, known as the 'Point of the Three Phases'."
