Section IV
"There's no need for that. You can't use the power of snakes anymore.”
"Hmph, Libra, do you think I don't dare?”
Vasuki slowly stood up, his eyes bloodshot.
"Look, look at my trump card, the World Snake Yumongande. In Norse mythology, this snake had been devouring the World Tree! No one in the world can wake this snake up. As long as I wake it up, I will have the ability to dominate the universe and the earth!”
The snake-shaped undergarment suddenly split open, and Vasuki's body became a huge hole. There was a universe inside the huge hole. In the depths of the universe, there was a faint shadow of a huge snake.
"Wake up, Yumongande. Let me have the power of a god, no, the power to destroy a god.”
Tiger Cub did not fight back. Instead, he turned around.
"Libra, why are you facing away from me? Don't you want to fight?" Vasuki shouted desperately, his voice unusually hoarse.
"There is no need to fight."
"What is it? Ah, my body…"
Vasuki's body melted bit by bit.
"It's not impossible to awaken Yumongande. Unfortunately, this requires your body as the price.”Tiger Cub said calmly," Goodbye, Vasuki. Although you are only a Planet Hidden Earth, you were infinitely close to a god in that instant.”
"Garen, do you understand the meaning of this battle?"”
I understand now.
" The Underworld Warriors don't need the harsh training of the Saint Seiyas, nor do they need the natural talent of the Sea Warriors. As long as they have the Underworld Clothes, they will naturally have the power of the Devil Star. Therefore, they lacked something very important: Battle experience!
"Very good, continue."
"Combat techniques are never innate. One must go through the training of blood and fire before one can truly grasp the profoundness. " Underworld Warriors without battle intelligence can't unleash their full potential even if they're stronger than us. Teacher, is this what you wanted to tell me?”
"That's right." Tiger Cub looked at the golems and said slowly,""Just like how a Gold Saint can be defeated by a Bronze Saint, there are also low-ranking warriors with mysterious powers among the Underworld Warriors. Demon Butterfly Babolon and Snake God Vasuki were all such people. Moreover, the legendary five strongest devil stars had awakened. Shaka and Mu's small universes disappeared again. Garen, I'll be relying on you and Saga in the future battles.”
" Teacher," I hesitated for a moment before asking the question that had been bothering me for many years,""I remember when I was trapped by Saga, I often felt a warm little universe. Ikteru said that it was Athena's little universe, but…"
"You know better than anyone who that small universe belongs to!”
Really, it was indeed him…
Suddenly, the entire valley shook again. Countless bolts of lightning suddenly struck down. The valley groaned in pain, and the ground was cut open.
"It's time." Tiger Cub let out a long breath.
"Are the five strongest devil stars here?”
"Just one. But…"
I don't need Teacher to explain, I understand. An unprecedented microcosm was slowly approaching. In comparison, Vasuki's snake power was not worth mentioning.
"This power of the Thunder God is probably Ishinami. Sorry, Garen, this is all I can teach you.”
"Teacher, you…"
" The enemy is too strong. I can only use the Ascending Dragon Tyrant to perish together with the enemy.”
"But, shouldn't it be me, the teacher guarding?”
"Hehe, there's no need for that." Tiger Cub smiled and patted my shoulder.
"It's a big deal to stop the Underworld Warriors from reviving before the five Devil Stars awaken. However, after Mo Xing was resurrected, the other Underworld Warriors were nothing. I'm already very satisfied to be able to destroy one of them.”
"No way, my friend. Why are you so unambitious?”
A warm and powerful small universe suddenly rose from the secret realm. The small universe continued to spread, and the valley was filled with this majestic power. Amidst the rumbling of the heavenly lightning, he slowly approached. When the lightning bolts landed in front of him, light and shadow flickered. The lightning bolts seemed to have encountered something and bounced off in all directions.
He…he actually came too?
"My friend Shi Ang, you're finally here.”Tiger Cub smiled.
What, the Pope is here too? He had also obtained Athena's blood…
Shining with a golden luster, he was as noble as the gods in the sky. With the stars in the sky, Pope Shion appeared proudly in front of us.
"How can we two old fellows not fight together?”
"Hmph, how many years has it been since we fought together? Year 243."
"Things are different now. Tiger Cub, you're still a majestic Gold Saint. I can only wear the Bronze Saint Garment.”
"My friend, don't bully my ignorance. The Carved Saint Garment is the exclusive tool for Aries. Since the Mythological Era, it had been reinforced by generations of Aries warriors. Whether it was hardness or luster, it was no less than the Golden Holy Garment. Besides…"
Tiger Cub raised his head and smiled." With your strength, what's the big deal if you don't have the Holy Garment?"”
"Haha." The two of them laughed loudly together.
Shion suddenly turned his head and stared at me."Garen, as the Pope, I order you to break into the Underworld and find Saga and the others. Tell him that after this Holy War, if he survives, he will inherit the title of Pope.”
"What?"
"I'm ashamed to say this, but in terms of strength and talent, Saga is qualified to become the Pope. Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice. Perhaps, if I had chosen him back then, he wouldn't have…Heh heh, old people like to reminisce. Garen, please tell him. I, Shi Ang, trust him the most!"
I bowed." I, Garen, thank you on behalf of my brother Saga, Pope.”
"Garen, the journey to the Underworld will not be easy. Bring this Holy Garment with you.”
"This is?"
"It's the Ara Garment worn by the Pope's Shadow Dancer. Although it was a Silver rank, it possessed incredible power. It's the most suitable for you.
A Shadow Dancer from Saga? Very good!
Other than the Holy Garment of the Temple of Heaven, I also brought another Holy Garment of the Holy Grail that is said to have healing properties. When I turned around to leave, I heard the conversation between the two elders.
"Hey, my friend, who's left in the Holy Region?”
" Aquila's Magic Bell, Ophiuchus 'Sana, Hound's Adelion, Chameleon's Jenny, Unicorn's Xie Wu, Lion's Man, Ursa's Xi, Water Serpent's City, Sirius's Nazhi are all here.”
"Nine people…there will be more people who will survive this time than last time.”
"Definitely!"
At that moment, I couldn't help but turn around. He saw Shi Ang looking at Tiger Cub with a bright smile.
"The moment to say goodbye…"
When I entered the Underworld, an unprecedented shockwave came, shaking the entire sky. It was in the direction of the secret realm.
"They…will definitely not die!”
"Saga, I'm coming!"
