Chapter 218 : The ten strongest seats have been decided, and the final battle is about to begin!
Above the Sanctuary arena, ice crystals and golden light suddenly intertwined!
Camus, clad in his aquarius god cloth, his ice-blue armor gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight, unleashed the Absolute Zero power he had condensed in his palm, striking directly at Oedipus.
The Celestial Saints didn't even have time to activate his fate curse before he was instantly frozen, his Cloth disintegrated, and his body scattered into ice shards.
This earth-shattering blow completely ignited the entire battlefield!
The arrival of the aquarius god cloth and the instant kill of Oedipus shattered the myth of the Celestial Saints' invincibility, like a thunderclap echoing in everyone's hearts.
The Saints' morale instantly soared, their long-suppressed fighting spirit completely erupted, and their Cosmo spread like a prairie fire.
In the ensuing battle, the Saints, empowered by Athena's true spirit, fought with increasing valor.
Virgo Shaka stood in the center of the arena, the golden giant Buddha phantom behind him becoming increasingly solid, as if a true Buddha had descended from the void, radiating Buddhist light all around him.
The distant sound of thunderous Buddhist chants echoed, continuously suppressing the Celestial Saints' Cosmo. His Tenbu Hōrin domain was fully open, an invisible barrier enveloping the battlefield, and the power of Tenma Kōfuku was vast and majestic, prompting even Apollo and Poseidon, who were spectating, to nod in awe.
Gemini Saga's figure flickered back and forth in the arena, alternating between Galaxian Explosion and Another Dimension, with the power of destruction and creation flowing through his palms.
After the true spirit was unleashed, his Cosmo surged several times over, making him the most formidable combatant on the Sanctuary side.
Facing his opponent, Cadmus, Saga showed no mercy, unleashing golden energy torrents repeatedly, finally sending the opponent flying high, spitting a large amount of blood in the air, and falling helplessly to the ground, defeated in a sorry state.
Leo Aiolia's Lightning Plasma had evolved, with countless searing white lightning bolts weaving into a destructive light net, its speed reaching the extreme, and its power fierce and unparalleled.
His golden Cosmo burned fiercely around him, and his Lightning Plasma rained down like a storm, forcing his opponent, Heracles, to roar repeatedly and defend with all his might.
Dohko, the previous Gold Saint, having undergone over two hundred years of refinement on Five Old Peaks, was now in his peak state after his rejuvenation.
He wielded a golden weapon, and his Lushan One Hundred Dragon Fist possessed earth-shattering power, with dragon-shaped energy imbued with Eastern secret arts, combining both rigidity and flexibility. Each strike carried the power to shake heaven and earth.
He directly confronted the Celestial Saints Perseus, his golden weapon's combat skills were in no way inferior to a god's, and the two exchanged blows, locked in an intense struggle.
Seiya, one of the Bronze Five, his eyes burning with the belief of protection, broke through his Cosmo's limits multiple times.
The speed and power of his Pegasus Meteor Fist continuously climbed, miraculously creating a miracle.
As a Bronze Saints, he defeated the Celestial Saints Ganymede!
This scene once again shocked Apollo and Poseidon; the two main gods looked at Seiya with a more serious gaze.
Apollo sat on his divine throne, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrest, a strong hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that Athena would be willing to completely bestow her divine power upon her warriors; this courage and determination far exceeded his expectations.
But he knew in his heart that this alone was not enough to completely defeat his Celestial Saints.
"All of you, show me your true strength!"
Apollo suddenly stood up, shouting loudly, his voice carrying an undeniable majesty, "If you lose, get out of the Celestial Saints' seats forever!"
Boom!
He raised his head, and the mark of the God of Light on his brow gleamed, as scorching divine light descended from the heavens like a surging sea, instantly engulfing the entire Sanctuary.
Wherever the light reached, the Celestial Saints' Cosmo surged, and their aura grew increasingly powerful.
Athena's expression was somewhat displeased.
This was her divine domain, and Apollo's actions were too overbearing. But she ultimately did not flare up; the Saints had already received the power of the true spirit, and while Apollo's actions were unconventional, they could not be considered a violation.
With the support of divine power, the Celestial Saints no longer held back, revealing their profound foundations far exceeding those of the Saints.
Heracles roared, his muscles bulging, his skin turning a dazzling golden yellow, and his Golden War God form completely erupted!
His power shook heaven and earth, and his divine power protected him, virtually ignoring most attacks. Like an unshakeable mountain, he forcefully knocked Aiolia out of the arena, securing a spot with absolute strength.
Achilles's indestructible body became even tougher, and combined with the spear and shield in his hands, he was formidable in both offense and defense.
Under the blessing of the divine light, he could rapidly traverse space, relying on his nearly immortal body and rich combat experience, pressing forward step by step, and ultimately overpowering his opponent to advance.
This arduous battle lasted a full day and night, with blood splattering in the arena and the deafening clash of Cosmo.
Finally, ten of the strongest fighters emerged:
Virgo Gold Saint Shaka, after the true spirit was unleashed, his realm was infinitely close to that of an enlightened Buddha, with Buddhist light shining brightly;
Gemini Gold Saint Saga, his powers of destruction and creation greatly enhanced, had already stepped into the demigod realm;
Celestial Saints Heracles, an ancient god of strength who ignited his divine fire, possessed unparalleled combat power;
Aquarius Gold Saint Camus, clad in the aquarius god cloth bestowed by Li Yu, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds;
Celestial Saints Achilles, his indestructible body combined with exquisite combat skills, stood in an unbeatable position;
Celestial Saints Theseus, a top tactical master, successfully advanced due to his rich experience;
Under Sea Emperor Poseidon's banner, Sea Dragon Fighter Kanon, the only selected Marine, his strength unfathomable;
Celestial Saints Perseus, wielding a divine weapon, a legendary warrior who once slew Medusa, secured a spot;
The most surprising was Athena's Bronze Saints Seiya, who, with his tenacious will, fell countless times only to rise again, ultimately defeating his opponent and shocking the entire audience.
Even Achilles, who possessed an immortal body, was moved by this resilience.
As the battle concluded, Athena, Apollo, and Poseidon, the three main gods, slowly stood up.
Poseidon's expression was particularly grim; his divine power had not fully recovered, otherwise the Marines' strength would have been far greater... But at least Kanon was selected, otherwise he would have truly lost face.
The selection of personnel had concluded; next, it was time for a decisive battle against Cronus and the other Titan ancient gods.
If they win, the Earth will be preserved.
If they lose, the World will once again fall under Cronus's control.
As his son, grandson, and granddaughter, the three main gods knew Cronus's character all too well.
Cruel, insidious, cunning, despicable.
No one could guarantee how long his promise to Li Yu would last.
The Saints and Celestial Saints around the arena began to heal, and the air was filled with a heavy fighting spirit and solemnity.
A final battle that would determine the fate of the Saint Seiya World was already at hand.
