Chapter 48: The Underworld
"Is this the underworld?"
Of course, Wu Jian did not die, and when he collided with the power of the sleeping god, he comprehended the eighth sense in time to be able to appear in the underworld alive.
"What is that feeling? Am I resurrected in the underworld after I die, or am I alive to break through the space and come to the underworld because of the pull of the underworld when I am dying? ”
Wu Jian looked down at his hands, not knowing why. It can't be blamed on Wu Jian for not being clear, although he raised the small universe to the apex and broke through to comprehend the eighth sense, but at that time, his attention was all on the sleeping god, and he was hit by the power of the sleeping god, and the whole person was in a mysterious and mysterious state, and when he came back to his senses, he had already reached the underworld. Even if you comprehend the eighth sense, it is only a matter of a moment, and you still need to explore it slowly to bring the eighth sense into play.
"The eighth sense, let's get familiar with it slowly, why do I want to appear in this place in the underworld? It felt like someone was guiding me. ”
Wu Jian is in the ice hell in the underworld, although Wu Jian did not have a clear consciousness when he came to the underworld, but he can still find some clues if he feels it carefully.
But who exactly? It was not a way to stay here all the time, and Wu Jian walked into the depths of the ice hell. As it continued to go deeper, the biting cold continued to erode Wu Jian's body and soul, and even with Wu Jian's current strength, he felt the cold air permeating him.
"Are these all Saint Seiyas?"
Beneath the ice, a man was buried, revealing only a head with a pained face. Although the Ice Hell is not boundless, it is not small, and among them are all saints of the ages, and nothing else. Although he had already known what the situation was like here, Wu Jian was still deeply shocked by what he actually saw.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"That's right, since the age of mythology, the saints who died fighting Hades have been buried in this cold hell and suffered from freezing forever."
This voice, this small universe, even if Wu Jian doesn't look back, he knows who their owner is.
"Teacher"
Wu Jian slowly turned around and spoke face-to-face with Ashmida again. But Wu Jian was a little surprised by Ashmida's current state.
Facing Wu Jian's surprise, Ashmida said lightly: "Is it strange that I am in my current state?" ”
"Yes, the eighth sense that you should comprehend, teacher, is right, but the current state is different from what I imagined."
"Because I am dead, and although I realized the eighth sense before I died, I had to sacrifice my life in order to complete the one hundred and eight prayer beads. You are different, you came to the underworld alive, and your body is not dead. ”
"Sure enough, teacher, you helped me, and then led me to this cold hell."
"I can't help you if you can't comprehend the eighth sense, but I'm glad you were able to comprehend the eighth sense and come here."
A smile appeared at the corner of Ashmida's mouth, but there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words.
"Teacher, did you want me to come here for what I was going to do?"
Ashmida did not answer immediately, but stroked a human head under his feet with his hand. Although the head also showed a painful expression, it was different from other heads that could no longer be seen, his face was still very clear, and Wu Jian also had the impression of seeing him.
"He is"
"He is a saint warrior of our generation, although he has experienced the pain of death, he still cannot get a life after death. At the time of death, he will be thrown directly into this cold hell by the power of the underworld, and he will continue to suffer from freezing for endless years. Just like those predecessors! ”
With a wave of his hand, a large crater immediately appeared on the ice, but the ice immediately repaired at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, refreezing the soul of the exposed Saint Seiya.
"A side quest to free the souls of the icy hell. Completing the task will reward one Valhalla, 10,000 experience points will be deducted for mission failure, and two S-level plot crystals. ”
(It's actually an item reward, but I'm afraid this task is not easy to complete.) The failure penalty for completing the task of sealing the sleeping god just now can still be paid, but)
For a while, Wu Jian didn't know what to do. The ice here is not strong enough to be broken alone, and if you want to free all the souls here, you need to melt the ice (not only the souls on the surface, but also some of the old ones that have been buried deep in the ice), and if you really want to do this, you will have to completely burn your own life like Ashmida.
"I've tried to outdo them, but I can't do it alone."
Ashmida's words woke up Wu Jian, who was pondering, and at the same time surprised Wu Jian.
"Can't you?"
"Yes, no!"
Ashmida answered Wu Jian's words categorically, but he still had the following.
"Although I can't, but Wu Jian, you can!"
"Can I? But with the strength of the teacher, I am afraid that I can't do it either! ”
Wu Jian hurriedly asked, he didn't want to sacrifice his life in vain. If Ashmida also helps, no, I'm afraid that a simple one plus one will not work.
"I can't do it because I'm not complete, but you are a complete Saint Seiya, your body, soul, and small universe are all Saint Seiyas who have reached the pinnacle, plus the golden holy clothes that represent the twelve zodiac signs that contain the power of the sun, you can definitely do it!"
“”
Wu Jian was silent, and as if he had seen through Wu Jian's thoughts, Ashmida continued: "Don't worry, you are not alone, I will also help you." ”
Ashmida didn't seem to intend for Wu Jian to refuse, and after saying this, he sat up on the spot. But Ashmida didn't just meditate, he started to burn the small universe. The small universe of the eighth sense burned with all its might, enveloping this cold and biting ice hell in a piece of warmth. However, the burning method like his can't last long. And, if it goes on like this
"Teacher!!"
"Don't be sad, you should be aware of this kind of thing, it's just a step ahead. Athena will leave it to you. ”
Although he understood that this kind of thing was unavoidable, Wu Jian couldn't help but shed tears. But there wasn't much time left for Wu Jian, as Ashmida's small universe became hotter and hotter, the whole person turned into a small universe and merged into the ice hell.
“”
Wu Jian gritted his teeth and called out for Virgo's holy clothes.
"Come on! Virgo's holy garments!! ”
A golden light pierced the sky, breaking through the barriers between the underworld and the human world, and descended directly to Wu Jian's location. The golden light dissipated, and Wu Jian had already put on the golden holy clothes of Virgo!
Wu Jian walked to Ashmida's position and sat down.
"There's not much time, then. How, exactly? Since you can't destroy it from the outside, let's start melting it from the inside! ”
Wu Jian slowly burned his small universe, echoing the small universe of Ashmida who had been integrated into the Ice Hell, and the whole person emitted amazing heat and slowly merged into the Ice Hell. By the time the small universe had completely burned to its peak, Wu Jian had completely integrated into the Ice Hell.
"Complete side quests to reward Valhalla."
Although it is said to be melting, it is not actually a physical melting, but to release its shackles on the souls of the Saint Seiyas, and Wu Jian will let the souls of the Saint Seiyas go beyond it. And Wu Jian had integrated himself into the Ice Hell before, so now he was stuck! And Wu Jian, who is burning the small universe with all his might, is undoubtedly very weak now, and whether he can break the ice is still a question.
(Oops!) Although the power of the Saint Seiya's souls was freed, the power of their spirits remained in my body, but I didn't have that kind of spare strength to use it. )
The small universe of Ashmida has long been consumed, Wu Jian's physical strength is also very little, the power of the cold hell is still in play, and the cold air continues to invade Wu Jian's body and soul, and if this continues, Wu Jian will have to die here.
Wu Jian desperately mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, body, soul, and small universe, but he still couldn't get out of the ice. Just when Wu Jian was in a hurry, the amount of power left by the souls of the saint warriors poured into a certain place in the depths of his soul, that is
"What is this!?"
Following the flow, Wu Jian found that there was a palace in the depths of his soul, which was probably just rewarded by the mission - Valhalla!
Wu Jianzhi said that he was just an ordinary person before, and there would never be such a thing in his soul. If you want to say when something is stuffed into the soul and Wu Jian can't find it, then there is only the main god, and this is a palace-like thing, then it can only be a task reward Valhalla.
(How do you use this?) There's no time to think about it! While Valhalla is activated, use it out anyway to take a look.
Wu Jian, who thought about it like this, although he didn't know how to use it yet, still tried to let it leave his soul.
"Boom !!"
With a loud bang, the ice near Wu Jian was smashed into a big crater, and Wu Jian was able to get out. However, Wu Jian, who had just barely climbed out of the pit, couldn't help but fall on the ice.
"Damn! What's going on?"
Wu Jian's soul couldn't help but tremble, his soul was in great pain as if it was about to collapse, and he almost wanted to fall into a coma. But if he falls here, he will be buried again by the ice, and Wu Jian can only desperately climb out of the ice range.
As soon as he crawled out, Wu Jian couldn't help but faint. Fortunately, the main battlefield of the holy war is not in the underworld, and the underworld fighters have all been taken outside the underworld by the Hades King, and now is probably the decisive moment. It was precisely because no one came to check on the situation here that Wu Jian was able to recover safely.
