Chapter 135: Chapter 68: Spatial Freeze, The Covenant of the Gods! (Part 1)

Asclepius’s methods instantly reminded Alex of another immortal powerhouse: Orochimaru from the Naruto universe!

Both excelled at manipulating serpents, and both could regenerate entirely from mere cellular tissue.

Drawing this parallel, the corners of Alex’s mouth curled up into a cold sneer.

"Asclepius, your ability must be cellular manipulation. In that case, can you still resurrect from this?"

Alex’s Cosmo erupted with a thunderous roar. Golden halos continuously expanded outward, with his body as the epicenter.

This time, his Cosmo acted like a Divine Domain, completely enveloping the entire Ophiuchus Temple.

As the golden power swept past, everyone’s movements came to a momentary standstill. Even more terrifying was that they were completely oblivious to this anomaly within themselves!

Under the influence of this power, even the flames of the Zodiac clock at the summit of the Sanctuary eerily paused their burning for a few moments!

Even Saori Kido, lying in her ice coffin, had her long eyelashes tremble slightly!

Alex gently raised his hand. Countless white points of light materialized out of thin air within the Ophiuchus Temple, falling like a sky full of descending stars. The instant the lights touched the ground, they condensed into tiny ice crystals, rapidly spreading along the crevices of the floor.

"Aquarius Ultimate Technique: Super Absolute Zero - Spatial Freeze!"

Following Alex’s low shout, the very space within the Ophiuchus Temple abruptly solidified!

The once-flowing air turned into a transparent solid. Suspended dust motes were frozen into tiny ice sculptures, and even the light itself suffered a distorted stagnation within the space.

Asclepius stood rooted to the spot, his limbs frozen stiff, entirely unable to even blink. He was like an insect trapped in amber. The space around his body formed an invisible barrier, firmly locking down every inch of his skin and every single one of his cells.

He finally understood that Alex had long since seen through his trump card. Asclepius’s cells had already been scattered into every corner of the Ophiuchus Temple along with the green poisonous mist. Ordinary attacks could never truly kill him. Only by freezing the entirety of space itself could his cells be imprisoned along with the space they occupied!

’This... this is!’

Alex’s various displays of power reminded him of an Ancient God!

’Impossible! You are nothing but a mortal!’

Asclepius’s eyes revealed absolute terror as he detonated his Cosmo to its absolute limits!

Boom!

Two colossal Cosmos violently collided and clashed in the air above the Ophiuchus Temple, generating a visible energy shockwave.

The shockwave rippled past the palace’s dome and spread across the skies of the Sanctuary, causing the Gold Saints of the Twelve Temples to look up in absolute awe.

The intensity of those two forces had long since surpassed the realm of Gold Saints.

Even Dohko, far away at the Five Old Peaks, couldn’t help but raise his aged eyes and cast his gaze over.

The strongest Gold Saint of the ancient era, Asclepius, versus the strongest Gold Saint of the current era, Alex—who would ultimately emerge victorious?!

Inside the Ophiuchus Temple, fine beads of sweat formed on Alex’s forehead as he maintained the spatial freeze.

He could clearly feel a massive golden net enveloping the entire world.

An invisible, binding force was actively suppressing his power. If he wasn’t mistaken, this was likely the Covenant of the Gods within the Sanctuary’s universe—a supreme law strictly forbidding mortals from touching the authority of the divine.

It seemed he had finally reached the absolute pinnacle of power that a mortal could ever touch.

A wave of sudden enlightenment arose in Alex’s heart. He extended his right hand, and golden lightning poured from his palm like liquid. It flowed along the fractures of the frozen space, instantly saturating the entire Ophiuchus Temple!

The roar of thunder and the crackle of lightning echoed endlessly within the palace. The golden lightning and the pristine white ice crystals intertwined, forming a terrifying energy storm.
