The scene, which had been somewhat chaotic due to Aaron's return, immediately quieted down.

However, just as everyone was secretly grieving, a slightly trembling but incredibly firm voice abruptly broke the eerie silence.

"Hey, I'm saying, aren't you all being a bit too pessimistic?"

Although I don't know what kind of place this "Divine Passage" is, Rimuru is really strong!

"A monster as powerful as him, I don't believe anything can kill him!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, everyone discovered that the speaker was none other than Pegasus, the MVP candidate who played a decisive role in this holy war!

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Volume 8: Chapter 847 Elysium

"Is this the place...?"

The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

On a vast land with blue skies, white clouds, mountains, lakes, and countless unknown flowers and plants, a figure with twelve silver wings on his back, looking like a fully armed twelve-winged angel, was looking around at this world that was almost identical to the divine kingdom within his body.

Legend has it that after traversing billions of beams of light and flying over hundreds of billions of dark clouds, far upstream of the Agrom River in the underworld, on the other side of the Leto River, lies a vast plain. It is a paradise that only those chosen by the gods can go to after death. Here, there is no pain or hunger, no war or sorrow. It is a world that can liberate people from all troubles. That is the Pure Land of Elysium.

【The Passage of God】Whether it's a parallel universe, outside the universe, or a place tens of trillions of light-years away, you can reach it instantly by using the superdimensional passage.

Hades's "Divine Passage" leads directly to this blissful paradise. Anyone who can withstand the erosion of the "Divine Passage" can reach this place in the blink of an eye.

However, the reason Luo Feng was here was because he underestimated Hades's fear of death.

As mentioned before, to defeat magic, you must use magic.

In order to escape from Luo Feng's "Divine Kingdom", Hades had no choice but to open the "Divine Passage" in the superdimensional world.

It was only because of the suppression of the world power of the [Divine Kingdom] and Luo Feng's Observation Haki constantly locking onto him that he could not easily open the [Divine Passage], or rather, even if he did open the [Divine Passage], he would not have enough time to enter it.

However, perhaps sensing something during the previous battle, Hades unleashed his cosmos, relentlessly bombarding the [Divine Kingdom] with overwhelming firepower, and then took advantage of this brief delay to successfully open the [Divine Passage].

However, for Luo Feng, who had incorporated the enemy into the "Divine Kingdom," Hades' methods were far too simple and direct. This kind of attack, which did not come with any special abilities, could not cause him any damage. The only thing it could do was probably make Luo Feng waste half a second brushing off the dust that was rising. It wouldn't even give Hades a chance to get up and leap into the "Divine Passage."

However, he ultimately underestimated Hades's fear of death. Once a proud god puts down his pride, then dignity is no longer a shackle that binds his actions.

With his Observation Haki, Luo Feng clearly foresaw Hades' next move.

In an attempt to escape, Hades immediately separated his soul from Aaron's body the moment he opened the [Divine Passage]. Then, before Aaron could regain his mobility, he threw Aaron directly into the [Divine Passage] in the opposite direction.

To be fair, Hades's move really hit Luo Feng's "Achilles' heel." Having promised Pegasus and Sasha, Luo Feng naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Aaron fall into the [Passage of God] and end up being destroyed, body and soul.

He immediately abandoned Hades and chose to rescue Aaron first.

It was this brief rescue that gave Hades the opportunity to enter the [Passage of the Gods].

However, Luo Feng's rescue was only a brief delay. Perhaps he hadn't expected Luo Feng to pursue him relentlessly, or perhaps he thought the [Divine Passage], a transdimensional passage that only gods and those wearing divine robes could pass through, was safe enough.

Hades did not immediately close the [Passage of the Gods] after entering it.

This gave Luo Feng a chance to make amends.

Saving Aaron was one of his goals, but Hades' soul was also his target. How could he just watch Hades slip away right under his nose?

Almost the instant he saved Aaron, Luo Feng casually tossed the obsessive young man back into his [Divine Kingdom] and, chasing after Hades' escape route, plunged into the [Divine Passage].

After all, once his "divine kingdom" disappears, Aaron will automatically return to the location where he fought Hades.

With twelve Gold Saints, Pegasus in his God Cloth, and Hades City, where Athena incarnates as Sasha resides, it is undoubtedly the safest place on Earth. There is no need for him to worry too much about Aaron's safety.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Aaron mistakenly thought Luo Feng was trying to save him after returning to the main world, which is why he fell into the [God's Passage].

After all, anyone who, in a state of confusion, sees someone throw them back to safety and then plunges headlong into the abyss would subconsciously consider that person their savior.

As for how Luo Feng will pass through the [Divine Passage]...

At this moment, the twelve silver-white wings that sprouted from the back of his [Heaven-Slaying and Evil-Repelling] full-body armor were enough to explain the problem.

Only gods and those wearing divine robes can pass through the [Passage of the Gods].

It's really hard to define what a god is. If we're just judging from pure power, Luo Feng, who has extraordinary strength, is undoubtedly a god-like being.

However, this was merely his own judgment; he could not confirm whether he possessed the authority to pass through the [Divine Passage].

Therefore, he can only use the second method.

Holy Garments!

He possesses the ultimate cosmos, and he also possesses Athena's divine blood. Although he merged the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth into the Thunder Emperor, the [Slaying Heaven and Exorcising Evil] technique, to some extent, inherited all the functions of the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth.

Just as a precaution, before entering the Passage of God, he left behind a piece of flesh and blood cell in the Kingdom of God, which housed a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and was enough to revive him, before diving headfirst into the Passage of God.

As it turned out, his judgment was correct.

When Luo Feng converted the energy within his body into a microcosm through "Gaia" and elevated it to its limit, the [Slaying Heaven and Exorcising Evil] underwent a fundamental change.

Not only did it become more angular, but in addition to the four different star charts on its arms and legs, its armor also had many mysterious runes.

The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the twelve silver wings on its back.

Pulling his thoughts back from his memories, Luo Feng's senses instantly covered this not-so-large alien world, and with just one glance, he discovered the existence within it that shone as brightly as the moon.

Immediately, Luo Feng's gaze suddenly fell upon the woman who made no attempt to conceal herself, as if she were challenging him and questioning whether she had the courage to come to his door.

That place is the true abode of Hades, the god of the underworld, and also where he hides his physical body.

Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Volume 8: Chapter 848 - The Tragedy of Hades

"Has the soul returned to its physical body...?"

Without a doubt, the reason why Hades, who had previously been beaten senseless by Luo Feng, suddenly became so tough was entirely because his soul and his physical body had merged back into one.

Having returned to his own physical body, Hades, no longer reborn through a shell, will undoubtedly be able to unleash even greater power.

Sensing the provocative intent emanating from that will, Luo Feng couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Because he spent some time rescuing Aaron, Hades returned to Elysium first, and his soul returned to his body.

To be honest, this was Hades's move to turn the tide, or rather, his last trump card.

Ironically, after Hades realized that he had been chased all the way to Elysium, he merely provoked him but did not dare to confront him head-on.

Well, that look really resembled the scene when he took his dog, Dahuang, out for a walk and encountered other dogs provoking him.

When its owner is holding the leash, it barks loudly at Dahuang, but once the leash is loosened, it only dares to hide behind its owner and whine like a little devil.

Faced with Hades' provocation, Luo Feng didn't tolerate it and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was already inside a temple that looked quite ancient and full of ancient Roman style.

"So you actually followed me all the way to this blissful paradise...?"

Athena's Saints are still as detestable as ever.

Upon appearing in the temple, Hades, clad in a scarlet cloak and wielding the Sword of Hades, fully armed, stood before the throne, coldly looking down at this uninvited guest.

Faced with Hades's sarcasm, Luo Feng wasn't particularly angry. He merely sensed the aura emanating from Hades, then raised an eyebrow and said softly with a hint of amusement.

"The merging of your soul and body has indeed greatly increased your strength, but..."

You don't actually think you can defeat me with this kind of trick, do you?

It must be admitted that Hades's complete form is achieved when his soul and body are reunited. However, as mentioned before, simply increasing his power alone cannot help him defeat Luo Feng.

Hades himself must have been well aware of this, which is why he did not take the initiative to seek revenge after his soul returned to his body, but instead tried to use intimidation to scare Luo Feng away.

Now that Luo Feng has chosen to confront the man head-on despite the intimidation, the two are now facing off and have no room to retreat. Hades, who is already standing on the edge of a cliff, simply puts aside all distractions and focuses all his attention on the battle to come.

"boom!"

With no way out, Hades immediately chose to strike first. With a light tap of his foot, the explosive force created a huge dent in the paving stones beneath his feet. The speed was so fast that even light could not keep up with it, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Luo Feng with lightning speed.

A chilling killing intent flashed in Hades' eyes, accompanied by an extremely cold light that seemed to come from hell. Under Hades' control, the powerful Hades Sword mercilessly slashed towards Luo Feng's neck, as if it wanted to smash Luo Feng's neck and head to pieces like a watermelon.

"boom!"

The violent sword wind sliced ​​across Luo Feng's neck in a "single" motion, and the raging sword energy, as fierce as a blizzard, instantly transformed the temple behind Luo Feng into an extremely cold place.

However, what remained before Hades at this moment, or rather, what Hades' sword had slashed across, was like a mirage, both real and illusory.

It's an afterimage!

Even as Hades was swinging the Sword of Hades, the sensation of striking the air conveyed the result of his attack missing its mark.

Hades did not lose his composure despite his attacks failing once or twice. He knew, of course, that it was a pipe dream to kill Luo Feng with a swift and unexpected attack. So, he quickly began searching for Luo Feng's current location.

However, just as he was searching his surroundings, that annoying voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"You have a good presence, but if you want to defeat me, you're far from being able to do it with just your presence."

Hades' fair face twitched slightly involuntarily, and the annoying voice so close to his face instantly ignited a nameless anger within him.

Almost without thinking, Hades instantly swung the Sword of Hades towards the direction from which the voice he loathed so much was emanating.

"boom!"

Another explosion rang out, accompanied by the chilling winds whipped up by two sword gusts. The temple, which had just been filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a veritable paradise, instantly transformed into a frozen hell.

What made Hades feel extremely bad was that the terrible feeling of slashing at thin air, just like before, made his heart, which had almost sunk to the bottom, grow even colder.
