Chapter 543

It has to be said that it's no wonder the Gold Saints would have such thoughts.
After all, anyone who saw the scene at that moment would have the same thoughts as them.
Blood continued to flow from beneath Hades' tattered Surplice, and his heavy breathing testified to his utter exhaustion.
Hades at this moment had long lost the elegance and composure he displayed when facing Sasha and the Gold Saints.
Luo Feng's swordsmanship was truly superb.
Luo Feng was so fast that even his five senses couldn't keep up with him.
Luo Feng's footwork was very strange. Even if his senses could keep up with Luo Feng's speed, he couldn't guarantee that he could react before Luo Feng's strangely angled sword moves hit him.
Luo Feng's sword was very heavy, so heavy that every slash that struck his underworld robes left one hideous sword mark after another on those indestructible garments.
What bothered him the most was that every strike Luo Feng delivered to him seemed to be cursed. Not only could his divine power not quickly heal his injuries, but the divine power contained within his body was also being lost in an extremely strange way.
Hades felt his nerves were about to break down. He had never encountered such an opponent before, not even his brother Zeus, the king of the gods.
Moreover, despite his weapon being the Hades Sword, he is not actually a skilled swordsman. The symbolic meaning of the Hades Sword far outweighs his actual swordsmanship.
Faced with a powerful fighter like Luo Feng, to be honest, he even considered a tactical retreat.
We can't delay any longer. This guy is different from Athena. Thanatos's soul wasn't sealed, but completely annihilated in this world. If we continue fighting, even I will follow in his footsteps!
I must return to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as soon as possible to reunite my soul with my physical body; otherwise, I am no match for him!
Running away may be shameful, but it can be useful.
Thanatos's experience taught Hades a full understanding of the difference between fighting Athena and fighting Rof.
Facing Athena, who is also one of the twelve Olympian gods, even if he loses, he will at most be sealed for two hundred years. To a god, this is just a fleeting moment. Moreover, as time goes by, the seal on Athena's divine power will gradually weaken, and he will soon be able to break free of the seal and fight Athena again.
But losing to Luo Feng is a different story.
This guy is practically ruthless; if he loses to him, his long lifespan might come to an end today.
Weighing the pros and cons, despite his reluctance to admit it and even feeling immense humiliation, Hades, who had lived for countless years since the age of mythology, understood one thing: as long as he was alive, he would always have a chance to make a comeback.
Now that the decision has been made, delaying will only lead to unforeseen changes.
Hades did not hesitate and immediately prepared to open the [Divine Passage] leading to the Pure Land of Bliss.
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng seemed to have foreseen his movements, almost the instant he had the thought of escaping...
"I won't let you get away, Hades."
"Divine Kingdom!"
Luo Feng's top-tier Observation Haki allowed him to briefly see what might happen in the future. In addition, after absorbing the soul of Icarus, the God of Time and Space, although he had not completely devoured Gaia and Eros, he had also mastered a portion of the power of omniscience and omnipotence.
Hades's "escape" appeared clearly in his mind.
Luo Feng would absolutely not allow Hades to enter the [Passage of God]. Not to mention that the moment Hades, who was now possessing Aaron's body, stepped into the [Passage of God], Aaron's body would instantly turn to ashes.
He had promised Pegasus and Sasha that he would extract Hades's soul from Aaron's body and bring Aaron back to their side.
He always took promises very seriously, and he would never allow such a situation to happen!
Almost instantly, the projection of the divine kingdom within his body pulled Hades into Luo Feng's absolute domain, the [Divine Kingdom].
"here it is......"
Gazing at the starry sky, the vast land, and the silent [Divine Kingdom] except for the sound of the wind, an unusual look instantly appeared in Hades' eyes.
Like the twin gods, the knowledgeable Hades immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the [Divine Kingdom]. Especially after Luo Feng absorbed some of Kairos's divine soul power, making the [Divine Kingdom] even more complete, Hades almost thought he had returned to his paradise.
However, after quickly sensing the omnipresent power of the world and the "will" within it, Hades' already pale face, which had been weakened by blood loss, turned ashen.
"Welcome to my world. Now, I will extract your soul from this boy named Aaron, Hades."
Looking at Hades, who was now trapped like a turtle in a jar, Luo Feng's lips, hidden beneath his ferocious mask, revealed a smile for the first time.
However, his smile didn't last long. Hades, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water, roared in a low voice like a trapped beast.
"I admit you are very strong, even comparable to my brother Zeus, the king of the gods, but..."
"Don't look down on me, you bastard!"
.........cut......
PS.1. Emmm, I saw the casting for the live-action One Piece movie today...
To be honest, they're not exactly the same, but they're completely unrelated...
Especially that guy playing Sanji, are you sure you're not playing Enel???
It's estimated that the first season will only cover the East Blue Saga, and so far only the original five-person group has been shown. I've put the casting photos at the end of the main text.
PS.2. Just asking for votes again!
Thank you for your support!
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Volume 8: Chapter 846 Aaron
Hades and Luo Feng's sudden disappearance startled everyone present. Fortunately, although [Divine Kingdom] was Luo Feng's ultimate move, it wasn't unheard of among the Gold Saints present. After an explanation, everyone understood and felt a surge of anticipation.
To be honest, they weren't too worried about Luo Feng.
After all, the scene just now was really too "bloody". Although the two were of similar strength, the one-sided battle easily made people think that "Hades, the god of the underworld, is nothing special".
"Um......"
Just then, Pegasus, who had been seriously injured in the battle with Aaron and had fallen into a coma due to Hades's sneak attack, slowly woke up.
"Tianma, are you alright?"
The sight of Pegasus waking up brought a smile to Sasha's face, who had been supporting him. She quickly helped Pegasus up and asked him with concern.
"Um......
Where is Aaron?
Sure enough, whether it was Naruto or Pegasus, the only people straight men truly cared about were their best buddies. Even now, lying in Sasha's arms, the first thing Pegasus said upon waking up was to ask about Aaron's whereabouts.
However, it was quite obvious that Sasha did not seem to be jealous over such a trivial matter. She simply recounted the events that unfolded after Pegasus fell into a coma with a hint of sadness on her face.
Like the Gold Saints, Sasha wasn't too worried about Luo Feng's safety. As the reincarnation of Athena, she clearly understood how powerful Luo Feng was. What she was worried about was her brother Aaron, whose soul was suppressed and who served as Hades' vessel.
However, just as Pegasus was about to say something more, everyone present felt a spatial fluctuation suddenly coming from the place where Luo Feng and Hades had just disappeared. Instantly, everyone looked in that direction as if facing a formidable enemy. Not only the Gold Saints who had just recovered some strength, but even Pegasus, who had just woken up, forced himself to stand up and watched with vigilance the figure that emerged from the other dimension and then staggered to one knee on the ground.
"It's Hades!?"
Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, a look of shock appeared on the faces of every Gold Saint. They couldn't imagine how the man who had been dominating Hades from beginning to end had lost.
"Do not!
wrong!
Look at his hair!
He is not Hades!
"Aaron, is that you, Aaron?!"
However, the usually careless Pegasus was the first to notice something was wrong, even before these experienced and knowledgeable Gold Saints.
His gaze fell on the newcomer's dazzling blond hair, as bright as the sun. His face was full of hope, and he even asked in a trembling voice.
"It's me, Pegasus."
The visitor's words were short, but those four simple words carried an incredibly complex meaning.
Upon receiving a positive reply, Pegasus, unable to contain his excitement any longer, rushed to Aaron's side, grabbed him, and exclaimed joyfully.
"That's great, that's really great!"
By the way, where's Rimuru?
Sasha told me that he and Hades disappeared from this 'world' at the same time.
Why is it only you who came back? Where is he now?
Was Hades defeated?
Pegasus bombarded Pegasus with a barrage of questions.
However, before Aaron, who had been pulled up from the ground by Pegasus, could reply, Tong Hu shouted anxiously from afar.
"Pegasus!"
Stay away from him!
Don't let him fool you!
Hades should be covered in sword wounds left by Rimuru, but this guy has no sword wounds at all, not even the scars you left on him have disappeared.
This is something only Hades' divine power could do; get away from him!
As he spoke, Tong Hu's inner universe burned to its limit in an instant. If he hadn't been afraid of accidentally injuring the Pegasus next to Aaron, the [Lushan Hundred Dragons Strike] that was ready to be unleashed would have already been aimed at Aaron's head.
"No, he is Aaron, I can't be wrong!"
"No, Tong Hu, he is indeed Aaron's older brother without a doubt."
Although some divine power remained, Hades's divine soul imprint was no longer present on his body.
However, at that moment, seeing that Dohko's cosmos had reached its peak, not only did Pegasus turn around and block Aaron behind him, but Sasha's Victory Scepter also blocked Dohko's eyes at the same time.
Looking at the determined eyes of Pegasus and Sasha, and listening to the firm words in his ear, Dohko finally suppressed the doubts in his heart and the rising cosmos, but he still kept a close watch on Aaron behind Pegasus.
Seeing his sister and childhood friend's complete trust in him, Aaron couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. It was only at this moment that he had the opportunity to answer Pegasus's question.
"Hades, in order to escape back to Elysium, used me as bait, deliberately separating his soul from my body and throwing me towards the [Divine Path] to use as an opportunity to escape. Mr. Rimuru, to protect me from the [Divine Path]'s corruption, fell into it himself..."
Aaron's low and dejected words caused Tianma and the others to pause slightly in surprise.
Immediately, the learned Asmita and Shion realized something, and their faces instantly turned extremely gloomy.
The Passage of God is called the Passage of God because it is a transdimensional space accessible only to gods. In this transdimensional world where countless spacetime distortions occur, anyone other than a god or someone wearing a divine robe will have their soul and body instantly reduced to ashes if they take a single step.
Although everyone present understood that when Hades abandoned Aaron's body and voluntarily returned to Elysium, it meant that his soul had suffered unpredictable damage and he needed to end the holy war and return to his base to recuperate, if all of this came at the cost of his comrades' lives...
A feeling of sadness instantly washed over everyone present.
