Chapter 397: The Special Pegasus Constellation, the Gods Who Successfully Escaped

But can an absolute god even be killed by god-slaying power? How is that possible?

The twin gods of the Saint Seiya world, as well as their eldest, King Hades, and Sea Emperor Poseidon, all showed surprised expressions.

"That's not right! Even if the opponent has god-slaying power, it's still impossible to kill an absolute god." Underworld King Hades shook his head and said.

The only mortal he has ever seen who possesses god-slaying power is the Pegasus Constellation, who wounded his flesh back in the age of mythology.

But actually, rather than saying it wounded him, it's more accurate to say that the Pegasus Constellation at that time even truly killed his body once.

Otherwise, why would the place where his flesh is stored be called a mausoleum? It's only because he is the possessor of the gods' will, so theoretically his soul is immortal.

As long as he gives himself enough time, any serious injury can eventually heal; even killing him, the possessor of the gods' will and a major god, is barely possible, let alone killing an absolute god—they are the creators of the universe.

"In your world, do gods still have ranks?"

"Yes! Gods are divided into several ranks: ordinary gods, primordial gods, those who have comprehended ultimate power, absolute gods, and super gods."

The Underworld King Hades of the Saint Seiya world, and Poseidon, gave a simple explanation of the god ranks here.

But even this simple explanation frightened the ancient Greek gods of the War God world; they never expected that above them there were so many supremely great beings, whose universe‑creating ability is comparable to that of the chaos god Khaos, right?

But in their world, Khaos theoretically merely created a world for the gods to inhabit! That's just equivalent to a single planet here, and even their world isn't as big as a planet.

God King Zeus is now very excited; this kind of world is suitable for him to display his talents. The Zeus of this world is said to have gone missing, so it's fitting for him to take over the position of King of Gods.

After awakening the power of the small cosmos, Zeus's strength increased enormously, but the Olympus Holy Sword is in Luode's hands, and the opponent also possesses a power that can target souls, so Zeus isn't sure he can deal with them.

"Hades! Could you give us more detailed information about that absolute god and about Luode?" Zeus looked at his older brother and asked.

"During the time I served the god called Luode, I secretly heard some news: the slain god is named Apsus, and it's said he was killed by Athena's Saint, the Pegasus Constellation." The Underworld King Hades of the War God world continued to reveal more.

"What! Pegasus Constellation, are you sure it's the Pegasus Constellation? If it is, then it's indeed possible, after all he's the greatest sinner of heaven, the god‑slaying Pegasus!" Death God Thanatos said.

"Impossible; even the Pegasus Constellation shouldn't be able to kill an absolute god." The Saint Seiya world's Underworld King Hades still held to his view.

"Wait, Lord Hades! If it's the Pegasus Constellation, there really is this possibility, truly there is this possibility, Lord Hades, do you still remember?

"During the previous holy war, the imprisoned time god, the brother of the super god Cronus, Tiankui Star Icarus, once tried to use the power of the Pegasus Constellation to counter‑attack heaven!" Sleep God Hypnos said.

At that time, the younger brother of that time god once treated their Underworld army and Athena's Saints as playthings, just to obtain the most precious drop of water of the Pegasus Constellation during the holy war.

Icarus, after all, is the brother of the super god Cronus; no matter how you look at it, he should be of the same rank as a super god. Even though the super god sealed most of his power, his overall combat strength still overwhelms all mortals.

He wanted to use the Pegasus Constellation to counter‑attack his own brother—does that mean the Pegasus Constellation could even pose a threat to a super god?

Just thinking about it is terrifying! If it could threaten a super god, then killing an absolute god wouldn't be a big deal, and perhaps that Pegasus Constellation has awakened the legendary Omega power, the true force of the cosmic big bang.

"Hmph! That's just that idiot's wishful thinking; I've never even looked at him properly.

"Rather than saying he's the super god's brother, it's more like he's just a disgusting experiment of the super god." The Underworld King Hades of the Saint Seiya world snorted coldly.

"Others may not know Icarus's origin, but I do—there is no such figure in mythological legend.

"This guy is nothing but a clone created by the super god; he merely developed a self‑will, so the super god acknowledges him as a brother.

"But his true combat power is nowhere near an absolute god, not even reaching a primordial god; he's merely on par with these major gods—a failed product of the super god.

"The truly more perfect work is the super god's tangible body, Saturn; therefore this guy is nothing but a lowly, pitiful worm—if he were truly of super‑god rank.

"Then how could he be sealed by a fellow super‑god brother? If he were an absolute god, the super god would have no interest in him, and he wouldn't dare provoke the super god.

"So this so‑called time god Icarus truly has power not even reaching a primordial god; he's merely a major god like them, and moreover most of his power remains sealed, causing him to endlessly reincarnate in the mortal realm.

"And after the holy war ended, with the super god's approval, the Pegasus Constellation and Athena joined forces to thoroughly kill him.

"It's said this world is somewhat different—its time is a dozen or so years after yours.

"In this world, Athena and the Pegasus Constellation killed almost all the gods of Earth; the entire Olympian pantheon was wiped out by the Pegasus Constellation.

"Even if you find it hard to believe, that's the fact: the Pegasus Constellation defeated the absolute god Apsus, which drew the super god's attention, prompting it to issue this investigation mission to Luode." The Hades of the War God world said.

"What! If, if that's the case, then there really is this possibility—it's truly unbelievable!

"The Pegasus Constellation is indeed an extremely dangerous existence; we gods should have long ago utterly destroyed it." Hades said.

"Lord Hades, if the opponent really accepted the super god's mission, then if we oppose him, would we offend the super god?" The Death God Thanatos said, trembling with fear.

"The shadow of being knocked down by Luode's sword still lingers; yet the opponent actually gained the super god's favor. If we now deal with this god called Luode, wouldn't that be tantamount to offending the super god?

"Upon hearing this, the soul‑body of the Saint Seiya universe's Underworld King Hades trembled—if, if it's the super god.

"He really doesn't dare offend the other party; even though he holds the title of Lord of the Underworld, before the super god he is nothing but a speck of dust.

"Perhaps it's not as bad as you think, my brother; the super god is such a noble existence—giving him a task.

"It doesn't necessarily mean the super god will protect him, and besides, how could this not be an opportunity for us?" Poseidon snorted coldly and said.

Having devoured the soul and divine status of the Sea Emperor Poseidon from another world, his divine power has greatly increased; now he is even a bit stronger than Underworld King Hades.

"What do you mean by that, Poseidon?" Hades asked.

"By sabotaging his mission, or even completing it ahead of time, the super god's task is nothing more than wanting to know how the absolute god Apsus was defeated.

"As long as we investigate this matter clearly, that's fine; we already know he was defeated by the Pegasus Constellation.

"We can follow this clue to complete the super god's task; as long as we can capture the Pegasus Constellation, we can finish the task ahead of schedule.

"And the super god shouldn't care who completes the task; he just wants the result." Poseidon said.

"That's the nature of gods: they only want to know the result, but they don't care who gives it to them—for if it were themselves, Poseidon would do the same.

"That's the gods' attitude toward mortals, and to the super god, gods are likewise two‑dimensional beings, even though their name contains the word 'god'.

"But the super god completely transcends their cognition, surpassing the concept of god; in the super god's view, they differ little from mortals.

"What I've said is indeed feasible; then let's charge out now—everything is about leaving this place." After Zhou Si finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed out of Luode's cage; he now doesn't want to stay here another minute.

After Zeus rushed out of the cage, the Olympian gods behind him, the mighty god and goddess Hera's attendants also rushed out one after another, and a bunch of Titans also charged out. The Underworld King Hades of the Saint Seiya world, together with the Sea Emperor Poseidon, bringing the Death God and Sleep God, also broke out of the cage together.

Everyone appeared in a mysterious great hall; upon appearing, through the perception of the gods' small cosmos, they immediately realized this was not the original world.

Even Underworld King Hades could not feel the existence of the Underworld and the Pure Land of Bliss, and could not even sense his own physical body.

The other gods, after flying out, hadn't yet figured out what was going on when they suddenly collided head‑on with Luode; if they let this bunch escape so easily, they would surely feel something was off.

So Luode still needs to step forward to block them, and moreover she doesn't intend to let all these gods out at once—only the key figures are to be released.

"You actually escaped? Looks like Athena's cage isn't very sturdy, but no matter—I'll capture you all and reseal you." Luode gave a cold smile and drew the Soul‑Hooking Claw of Underworld King Hades.

The weapon of the Underworld King Hades has a huge amplification damage against spiritual bodies; upon seeing this weapon, the ancient Greek gods immediately showed terrified expressions.

"Hades, why is your weapon in his hands?" Queen Goddess Hera said with a terrified face.

Among them, only the War God Qutuosi, the God King Zeus, Yatianna, etc., have awakened the power of the Little Cosmos; the others have not yet awakened the divine Little Cosmos! Now their souls are quite weak.

"You think I betrayed him, him? He forcibly took my weapon."

"Damn it, everyone be careful, this is a divine artifact targeting souls, it is the weapon of Hades from our world; everyone scatter and run, absolutely do not get hooked by this weapon, otherwise your souls will be absorbed by it." Yatianna of the War God world shouted loudly.

However, Luode has already taken action against the souls of these Titan gods beforehand; the souls of these Titan gods are far weaker than those of the Olympian gods.

Originally, Luode released them to see if they could occupy human bodies and generate primordial divine power.

But Yatianna Shiori's answer was, "Don't hope for it; their strongest point is merely their physical bodies," so Luode had no hesitation and directly recalled the souls of all these Titan gods.

The souls of the other gods then began to flee; Zeus, Qutuosi, and Yatianna formed a trio and then fled in one direction.

In the Saint Seiya world, the Underworld King Hades, plus Bosedong and the Twin Gods, and the Hades of the War God universe fled in another direction.

The souls of the other gods then began to flee; Zeus, Qutuosi, and Yatianna formed a trio and then fled in one direction.

After a period of chaos, Luode re-imprisoned the souls of most gods; this time the escapees were Yatianna of the War God world, the God King Zeus, the War God Qutuosi, and the Underworld King Hades.

Also, the Sea Emperor Bosedong of the Saint Seiya world, the Underworld King Hades, and his Twin Gods.

The greatest value of these Titan gods' souls lies in compressing them into pure soul energy, to be kept for emergencies.

"It looks like the plan is executing successfully; from now on we just wait." Shiori appeared beside Luode, smiling as she said. (From now on, the Athena beside the protagonist will be called Shiori, or if you write Athena then add Shiori after it to distinguish, since there are now three different versions of Athena appearing.) "I know! Everything is going according to plan." Luode smiled and said.

Next, it will depend on how well our two undercover agents perform.

"What are you planning to do next?"

"I plan to have the God of Love take action, and then make this young Pegasus Constellation fall in love with someone he ought to love." Luode said.

"Ugh! Please, don't disgust me, okay? I'm also your wife—you wouldn't really plan such a tasteless thing!! In this world, I am her foster mother." Shiori said, thoroughly dissatisfied.

"Hahaha! It's not you of this world, what are you thinking?" Luode said.

However, speaking again, this world's Yatianna is the foster mother of the new generation Pegasus Constellation.

But according to some indications, the new‑generation Pegasus constellation would not have wanted to adopt Yatianna were it not for the existence of her older brother Xingshi. The anime's clues show many problems; Miss Shiori, you're easy to call, but it was Shiori who raised you from infancy.

Leaving aside the fresh and cute little girl Yuna, he instead took a liking to his own foster mother.

So, as a great good person, I'll come help you! I'll set up a love triangle or quadrangle or something for you.

The ability of the God of Love is just too useful! The new generation's little strong, internal self-generated conflict is what's most interesting.

Just like a smart person in Marvel once said, an empire if struck down by external force.

Then it still has a chance to rebuild, but if it collapses from within, then there is no chance at all.

"Don't keep staring at the Pegasus Constellation! Our mission is to investigate the true cause of Apu's death."

"Moreover, according to my strategy, we and this world's version of me are allies, so don't get it wrong." Shiori said, somewhat speechless.

Actually, the best way is not to be enemies; sometimes we also need to show a side of the wisdom goddess.

"If we ally with you of this world, then who are we supposed to fight?" Luode asked, somewhat surprised.

"Isn't it just the batch you just released?"

You think the information you got Hades to reveal, plus your undercover agent's imagined supplement,

will they not oppose this world's me? So just wait and watch the show!" Yatianna said.

One's concrete plan is really perfect, Luode you brat, just watch it closely.

I'm going to sell the Underworld King Hades and have him count money for me.

"Hahaha! Alright! Let's go pick up your sister Pallas first!"

"Mm! Let's go; I haven't seen this sister in years. Although I'm the sister from another world, my experiences with this universe's Yatianna are basically the same." Shiori said.

On the other side, the Underworld King Hades and the Sea Emperor Bosedong rushed all at once to the vicinity of Heidelberg, Germany; this place was once the city of the Underworld King Hades, but now it is in ruins, yet the remaining Underworld King's barrier still remains.

"It seems the underworld here has indeed disappeared, but it's fine; the underworld is a place manifested by my will, as long as I am still here, I can reshape the underworld." Hades said.

"Don't forget, we still have another Underworld King who can help; I think the underworld created by two Underworld Kings should become our new base." Sea Emperor Bosedong said.

The undersea palace of this world still exists, and even my Sea Emperor Seven Generals' armor has been completely repaired.

"If you need anything, I can help." By the way, I can also observe how the Underworld King of this world creates the underworld; my world's underworld is not created by him.

After obtaining the divine Little Cosmos, I can do many things in the future, such as establishing an underworld that belongs to me.

"Then come help me! The Underworld King of another world, we will first repair my underworld as our foothold, and then wait for our allies to arrive."

With the help of another world's Underworld King, the work of rebuilding the underworld will also be relatively easier. (End of chapter)
