Chapter 364: Chapter 183: The Four Gods of Dreams Appear, The Dual Virgos Battle Hades! (Part 2)

He gently raised his hand. An invisible divine might firmly suppressed the four of them in place, rendering them completely unable to move.

The cube of divine blood floating in the air flickered uncertainly, as if its light would completely extinguish at any moment!

"Hmph, mortal wisdom is nothing in the face of absolute power!"

The corners of Hades’s mouth curled into a cold arc, revealing a faint, mocking smile.

"It is over, Saints of Athena!"

Hades’s voice was cold and ruthless. He slowly raised his hand, aiming directly at the divine blood in Seiya’s grasp!

The divine blood cube trembled violently, on the verge of shattering completely!

Right at this critical moment!

Hum!

Two vast and pure golden Buddha lights descended upon the Ice Hell like the dawn tearing through the darkness!

Within the Buddha light, two giant golden lotus pedestals slowly bloomed!

Seated cross-legged atop the lotus pedestals with their eyes closed were two figures!

They were none other than the current Virgo Saint, Shaka, and the former Virgo Saint, Asmita—the two who were supposed to have perished together!

And between the two Virgo Saints, an even gentler and more sacred golden light illuminated!

Goddess Athena, clad in her God Cloth and holding the staff of the Goddess of Victory, descended into the Ice Hell, her entire body radiating a warm and powerful Cosmo!

"Lady Athena!" Seiya and the others were filled with both surprise and joy!

"Shaka! Asmita! You are finally here!"

In the distance, Mu and Aldebaran, who were fighting desperately against the Hecatoncheires, also felt their spirits lift!

"Impossible! The two of you clearly..."

A flash of shock appeared in Hades’s eyes. He had seen with his own eyes, through the vision of the Four Gods of Dreams, that the two Virgo Saints had perished together beneath the Twin Sal Trees.

"The cycle of life and death is but an illusion; the place of enlightenment is also the beginning of rebirth!"

Shaka slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as clear as ever.

Asmita nodded slightly. The barrier set up by their combined efforts instantly enveloped Hades within!

The two Virgo Saints might not have the strongest destructive power among the Saints, but when it came to seeing through the mysteries of life and death, no one was more proficient than they were.

"Hades! Leave Shun’s body!"

Athena’s voice carried an unquestionable and powerful divine might.

Pointing the staff of the Goddess of Victory in her hand at Hades, her powerful purifying divine power combined with the Cosmo of the two Virgos. This formed a sturdy cage that began to forcibly extract Hades’s divine soul!

"Guh!"

Hades let out an agonizing roar. His black hair whipped wildly, and the green Underworld fire in his eyes danced violently.

Athena’s divine power generated a massive suppression and repulsion against his possessed state!

Within Shun’s soul, a golden true spirit, summoned by the Goddess’s divine power, radiated boundless energy. This power was so immense that it actually began to slowly push Hades’s divine soul out of the body!

"Shun! Wake up! It’s me, Ikki! Don’t let Hades control you!"

Seeing his brother’s agonizing state, Ikki, the fiercely protective older brother, widened his eyes until they nearly tore.

Ignoring everything else, he burned his Cosmo and rushed forward to embrace Shun’s body.

The flames of the Phoenix actually penetrated Shun’s body, beginning to scorch Hades’s divine soul while attempting to awaken his brother’s consciousness.

"Don’t be swallowed by Hades! Remember who you are! Come back, Shun!"

"Shun! Think about the things you want to protect!" Seiya, Hyoga, and Shiryu also ignited their Cosmos together, trying to awaken Shun’s soul.

Shun was different from Saori Kido. The divine soul of Hades inside him had been forcibly implanted after his own soul had already formed.

At this moment, within this body, there were two souls, along with the true spirit of Athena. The three forces wrestled with one another, surprisingly remaining deadlocked!

"Brother... Seiya... Athena..."

Shun, whose consciousness had been suppressed deep within his soul by Hades, seemed to have been awakened slightly, putting up a faint struggle.
