Saint Seiya

"You... what did you say?"

He seemed to think he heard it wrong.

"Listen well, Ionia. We Saint Seiya are by no means omniscient and omnipotent, and there are lives that cannot be saved, thoughts that cannot be conveyed. I can understand your concern for Athena, but you do that. It's just an idea imposed on the saints. Athena doesn't take her own destiny at all, and she doesn't intend to surrender to accept such a fate. The existence of our saints is not to free her, but to Facing her head-on, protecting Athena and making her less painful is what we should do. Saint Seiyas risk their lives to fight, and they can only do their best, that’s all.”

Saying this is only half-knowledge, and he has absolutely no way to get the real answer.

For this reason, Yusei, who saw through this, continued.

"Furthermore, Athena never escaped from her fate, on the contrary, she will face it and overcome it. This is the goddess who protects the earth. If you want to be free from this fate, then Athena will not be the goddess of war. Originally, as the highest god, why did she reincarnate as a human to try the suffering of the world? It is precisely because she has such a consciousness to fight and overcome with human beings, even if it is a little less, to reduce these is the mission of our saints , I will work hard to protect this goddess all my life. I will leave the achievements and will to the next generation to inherit, so repeated, this is how people grow up.”

Hearing this, he seemed to understand a little, with an expression that was only awakened now.

"Remember, don't try to free her. When Athena is truly freed, the world will be full of love and peace, a perfect world without any war. What we have to do is to accompany us to face it together, this is the real Athena's Saint Seiya!"

◇◇◇

Then back to reality, Ionia looked at the two of them.

"After listening to the Pope, I finally understood. Indeed, as he said, the way to free Athena from her fate is when there will be no more wars. People can coexist peacefully, without God's aggression, that The adults will be freed naturally. I can’t even think about such a simple thing, and I am very unqualified as an educator.”

He was genuinely angry at his own uselessness.

"When I first saw a Saint Seiya, I thought I had met a god, and thought they could lead humans to the right path, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Later I learned that a Saint Seiya is both a hope and an ordinary human being. Therefore, there is no obligation to face the problems that cannot be faced at all. The saints work together to fight with Athena to eliminate all evil in the world, and then all suffering will disappear. I, Ionia, decided to follow the Pope's advice from the beginning. As I said, as a golden saint, protect Athena!"

On the way to the zodiac, Guangya and others had heard many times about the Pope. The Golden Saints respected him very much, and everyone said that he was so amazing. This made Guangya and the others very curious, wondering what kind of person that person was.

"Having said so much, it's time to stop here. Pegasus, if you want to meet Athena through this place, you have to defeat me. But, forget about the other saints, you can really get close to Athens. Na's existence? Seriously, I don't admit you at all!"

"What did you say?"

If he didn't expect it at all, Guangya was shocked.

"What does it mean that the bare teeth can't approach Athena?"

"Like the literal meaning, you will know in a while"

It seemed that there was a reason, both of them understood, but he had no clue to Guangya.

"Then, take over my little universe, am I the one who can approach Athena!"

He rushed up, jumped up, and punched him. The white flashing punch hit Ionia on the body, but he didn't move at all, and he wasn't injured at all. Guangya followed with a punch, and he raised his left hand to block his punch.

"what?"

With a wave of Ionia's hand, he was thrown out and hit the wall in the palace.

"You want to knock me down with this level of punch, go see Athena?"

"cough……"

The bare teeth fell to the ground and did not fall.

"Did you run out of strength in the previous palace? Or is this your strength?"

"My strength is not at this level!"

Yelling, waving his hands.

"Pegasus Meteor Fist--"

The fists with the ultimate "seventh sense" are all at the speed of light. The meteors turned into countless lights and came over. Ionia raised both hands and blocked every punch he sent at the speed of light. His physique Big and big palm. It's not difficult to block Meteor Punch, just use a faster speed than him to block it.

If the "seventh sense" is a fist capable of throwing the speed of light, then the awakened "eighth sense" Saint Seiya has movements above the speed of light. Perhaps in this generation, there is no underworld, and the meaning of the "eighth sense" is of little use. However, if the "eighth sense" can be awakened, the strength and mental power will also be greatly improved.

So even if Light Fang has the seventh sense, it can't shake the saint who has the eighth sense. Just seeing that he easily resisted all the punches, all the meteor punches were bounced off in a short while.

"Bright Fang's fist...it doesn't work!?"

Yuna couldn't believe that the opponent was not the legendary Saint Seiya who blocked his attack so easily.

"how come?"

Even Guangya himself was shocked.

"Stupid, what is the use of light speed fist to our golden saints now, you should know after the previous battle. Also, your fist has been seen many times when you were in Palaestra. For saints, it only needs Once you see it, it won't work!"

"hateful!"

"Do you think you can beat me then?"

It seems that Ionia doesn't have a good opinion of Light Fang, he hasn't done anything that makes him so prejudiced against himself.

"Even if you can't win, you have to win"

Another punch.

"Hmph, there is no power at all in those words, but there is power in the words I utter!"

Suddenly, a strong sense of oppression was released from him.

"Reflection·Language!"

He raised his hand slightly, turned out a book, and radiated light.

"Stop!"

Guangya's body trembled at this time, and it seemed that there was no strength to restrain him. He didn't listen to his orders at all, and stopped in front of Ionia.

"What's up?"

"You're already dominated by my language, and your right hand can't handle it anymore."

"what?"

He pulled his right hand away with all his might, but he couldn't break free at all.

"How is this going?"

"I said, my words control you, even if I awaken the 'seventh sense'. The ultimate skill I cultivated in prison, words control everything!"

"If you can't use your right hand, use your left hand"

Guangya's left fist hit.

"Hit yourself!"

Bare Fang's left punch hit him in the face.

"Uhhh-"

Completely helpless.

"Bright Tooth"

Yuna rushed up to help him.

"Hmph, now I don't even need to take action?"

Ionia smiled coldly.

"Don't come here, Yuna!"

"Go Fighting Pegasus"

He spoke the language of his mouth again.

"Just... what was it?"

Yuna, whose body was completely free, lifted her foot and kicked her bare teeth, hitting the bookshelf in the palace.

"—Bright Tooth!"

Look at Ionia.

"what did you do to me?"

"I just said the words to hit Pegasus, you can't resist my words!"

Yuna's body was not free again, and she jumped in the direction of Hikaru.

"Guangfang, hurry up and run—"

Yuna shouted helplessly, kicked him in the face, Bare Teeth dodged a little, but still wiped his face.

"You're going to attack Light Fang!"

This is really cruel.

"It's okay, Yuna!"

Guangya comforted her.

"No, my body is on my own..."

Yuna kept kicking Bare Fang, but Bare Fang was affected by his power and couldn't move at all.

The power that can control the opponent with words, although it is not comparable to the absoluteness of the upper star, it can also control the actions of the opponent with the power that is infinitely close.

"Pegasus, how do you feel about being attacked by your own comrades?"

Guangya endured the pain and opened his eyes.

"You...don't underestimate me!"

Guangya radiated an aurora all over his body, fully displaying his entire microcosm.

"Drink ah ah ah ah ah-"

Trying to break the Ionian power of language.

"No need to struggle, your microcosm has always only reached the 'seventh sense'. For our golden saints who have a microcosm one level higher than yours, you can't decipher it!"

"I will not give up, no matter who my opponent is, my will will not be lost, and I will follow the path of light as Saori-san said."

Guangya is unshakable, he has undergone many tests so far, and he will not admit defeat at this time.

"Hmph, the light you rely on Athena bestows is never the real light. You mean the power of the will? Then I will awaken the nature hidden under your will!"

"nature?"

Guangya wanted to ask "what does that mean"?

"Hey, wake up, dark little universe!"

Amazing words came out of his mouth.

"...Dark little universe?"

The focus in his eyes disappeared, and his consciousness gradually lost. The small universe of light emitted from the whole body was instantly replaced by darkness. Yuna was surprised, but she did not expect that Guangya not only had a small universe of light, but also hidden darkness.

Because it is different from the time point in the original work, this is the first time Guangya has awakened the dark microcosm since he was a Saint Seiya. So far, this power has been sealed deep in his body.

In the battle with Mars more than ten years ago, two babies were born because of a huge meteorite. At that time, the light tooth was bathed in a lot of darkness, causing his body to have a dark microcosm. This is only Only a few saint fighters know about it.

◇◇◇

In the Pope's Palace, Saori's face changed completely as soon as he saw the dark little universe in Koya's body, he stood up and wanted to turn around and run.

Yu Xing immediately took her hand.

"Wait, don't rush!"

"However, Koya...the darkness that he has been suppressing will be once again..."

"This must be the road for him to cross. You can't spoil him all the time. If you are good for him, you can't spur his growth. No matter how you suppress his darkness with the light of Athena, he will wake up sooner or later. Because he A son of darkness."

Saori was in pain as she looked at the wicked appearance of the light tooth in the crystal ball.

"He is different from ordinary dark warriors. When he is hit hard in the future, the darkness will swallow his consciousness. The light tooth is not only cultivated by you, but also my disciple. He will definitely have more possibilities in the future. , then this darkness will be the first test of his life, and if he can't overcome it, then he can't awaken the ultimate beyond the ultimate... Trust him, people have infinite possibilities!"

Saori turned around, and Yusei let go of her hand.

"Yu Xing, I'm sorry. I've always been so weak, but you've always tolerated me!"

Yu Xing smiled, walked to his side, and suddenly hugged her.

"Why am I mad at you? You don't need to worry about anything, and don't feel sorry for me. I never thought you were weak or willful. Please remember that I only fight for the goddess Athena. Everything about myself. Always be on your side at all times. Even if it is against the world...and against God."

Saori couldn't help but burst into tears, she was very moved.

"Trust Guangya, until the last moment. Even if there is an emergency, I will definitely save him!"

Saori burst into tears, but showed a happy smile.

◇◇◇

Among the saints of Athena, there has never been a person with a dark microcosm, and there are not many people with light attributes. The two strongest ones are completely opposite extremes.

Once there is darkness, you will be deprived of the qualifications of Saint Seiya. This is the rule of the Saint Seiya world. Yuxing, who is the Pope, has also given such an order. But only Light Fang is an exception. At the beginning, he knew that he was the son of darkness and still cultivated it with light, making him a Saint Seiya.

Guangya didn't know about this, and never heard them talk about it.

At this time, due to the power of Ionia, the darkness in his body was awakened, and he saw this side of himself in panic, which made him feel that he was not like himself at all. He slowly descended from the sky, and because he had awakened his "seventh sense", he was able to control his consciousness not to be swallowed by the darkness.

"My microcosm is...darkness? The real microcosm is darkness? No...impossible!"

This blow was indeed a big blow to him. When he was in Palaestra, he had heard that although the darkness was powerful, it was an extremely dirty and disgusting small universe. If the darkness is burned for a long time, the character will gradually become cruel, and sooner or later one will either die or be consumed by the darkness.

"You were born with a dark little universe of disgust, and that is not something that can be easily changed. As the Pope said, this power will one day make Athena suffer. However, you were nurtured by Athena. , Athena gave you another way to walk and gave you light. If you can keep walking that way, then you are a qualified saint. Otherwise, you will disappear into this world along with your darkness!”

"Light... light tooth!"

"Burning the dark little universe even more, Pegasus!"

The power of "Glorious Words" made Guangya dominated by him even if he could control the darkness, only to see that the darkness on his body continued to burn, becoming stronger and stronger.

"You already know my story. Letting Athena suffer is my number one taboo. I will never tolerate such a person becoming a saint and staying by Athena's side!"

Having said that, I finally understand why Ionia doesn't like bare teeth.

Guangya shouted loudly, in great pain, and fell to his knees on the ground, the blow was too great for him.

"Although you foolishly think that you are a warrior of light, you are always darkness, an existence that cannot be approached by the divine Athena!"

Bare Fang's face showed terror and fear, which Ionia saw in his eyes.

"Hey, you understand! Athena gave you light, it was pity for you, and pity for you gave you light."

Of course this is not the case.

Guangya wanted to give up at this time. Unlike before, after learning that he had a dark little universe, he no longer had the confidence he used to be.

"I……"

At this moment, a voice flashed in his mind, and a gentle female voice sounded:

——Guangya, go to the path of light. No matter what kind of darkness you are in, no matter what kind of pain you are in, you are the Warrior of Light, the Saint Seiya of Pegasus.

Light again appeared in Light Fang's dark eyes, but was not completely swallowed.

(This voice... is Saori-san talking to me?)

The light in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and Guangya slowly stood up.

"What? Is there still light in your body? Then I can only show you, the essence of my power... In order to destroy your light with the largest microcosm!"

Speaking of Ionia's whole body, the small universe continued to pour out, and golden light surrounded his whole body.

"—Wake up, young power!"

Countless words in the book that glowed in his hand flew out, all flew towards his head, and Ionia ate all the words.

The book in his hand disappeared.

Suddenly he changed completely, his white hair turned black, the beard on his face disappeared, his body became a level stronger, and his hands and feet were getting bigger.

He was taller than he was now.

"This is the essence of my power, the power to wake up youth!"

Hikaru and Yuna stood there completely motionless in shock.

Ionia shouted loudly, and his left fist swung at a speed exceeding the speed of light, hitting Guangya's face, and it continued to impact, as if punching a box.

It's just that the speed is too fast. In the eyes of others, it seems that there is only one punch, but in fact, it is constantly hitting Guangya's face. Followed by another right fist, followed by another left fist, hitting continuously.
