Chapter 178 : Crazy killing, Li Yu's plan!
The moment Athena's headless body collapsed at the Summit of Holy Mountain, the divine shield enveloping the Sanctuary receded like a tide.
The golden light film gradually dissipated into the air, and the chilling aura of the Underworld, which had permeated the sky, completely enveloped the Holy Mountain with the goddess's demise. A biting cold wind swept through, and the World was plunged into darkness.
The current Gold Saints finally recovered from their extreme shock.
Grief and despair erupted like a volcano in their chests, while a few fell into a terrifyingly calm silence.
Within this silence, a destructive fire of vengeance was brewing.
A murderous intent locked onto Shion, Li Yu, and all the former Gold Saints!
Shion and the others, facing this overwhelming rage, appeared unusually calm, even with a strange sense of relief and weariness.
Dohko's eyes were incredibly cold. He said nothing, silently distributing the Libra Gold Weapons to everyone.
As the Cosmo of the current Gold Saints blazed fiercely, their faces showed a resolute expression, clearly intending to fight Li Yu to the death!
Li Yu stepped forward, stopped the current Gold Saints, and bowed to Shion and the former Gold Saints.
"Teacher Shion, esteemed seniors, you've worked hard. Let's proceed with the next step of the plan!"
Shion and the others returned the bow to Li Yu.
"After all, we are already dead. We entrust the rest to you!"
Li Yu nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, Teacher, humanity will prevail!"
Shion, holding Athena's head, gradually faded away, presumably returning to the Underworld to report.
Li Yu turned around, facing the overwhelming wrath of the Gold Saints led by Dohko, and said lightly.
"Everyone, instead of using this power and energy for revenge here, why not unleash it in the Underworld!"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in the hearts of the Gold Saints. Could all of this be Li Yu's plan?
But why, if it was a plan, were they all kept in the dark?
Before anyone could react, Li Yu said calmly.
"Step two of the plan: you can all die now!"
Purple electric light overflowed from Li Yu's eyes!
Boom!
Purple lightning, with unparalleled might, descended from the sky!
Even with their Gold Cloths negating most of the damage, the many Gold Saints, already exhausted from battle, fell to the ground under the attack of this supreme lightning power, wisps of smoke rising from their bodies!
Li Yu walked to Dohko, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and then with a slight squeeze of his single hand, a 'crack' sound was heard.
Dohko's head was twisted at an unnatural angle.
Shiryu's eyes were bloodshot. He dragged his injured body over, roaring in a hoarse voice filled with despair and indignation.
"Master, Master!"
Poof!
Shiryu's body was pierced through by Li Yu's punch... Saga and Kanon, the two Gemini Saints, stood up. Their bodies trembled violently as they desperately unleashed the Galaxian Explosion!
But before the destructive energy could fully form, it was sealed on the spot by Li Yu's Absolute Zero.
Li Yu chuckled and shook his head.
"Saga, don't you believe me either?"
Then a flash of understanding crossed Li Yu's eyes.
"Oh, it's Blue Saga now, no wonder!"
Two purple lightning bolts shot out like venomous snakes, precisely piercing through Saga and Kanon's hearts.
Saga and Kanon's bodies stiffened, the light in their eyes rapidly dimmed, and they both fell to the ground, their breath ceased.
Then, Li Yu walked towards the others with a sneer.
Lightning and freezing air erupted alternately. Shura, Milo, Aiolia, Aphrodite... one by one, the Gold Saints perished.
Having completed all this, his figure transformed into a golden light and arrived at Aries Temple, mercilessly ending the life of the unconscious Mu. Not a single Gold Saint could be left; it had to be thorough.
"Stop, stop! Master!"
Hyoga struggled to his feet, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
The Li Yu who returned this time was so powerful that Hyoga could barely recognize him, and he was like a demon, first helping Shion to kill Athena, and then successively killing all the Gold Saints!
"What exactly happened to you? Are you insane?"
Li Yu slowly turned his head, revealing a cold smile.
"Oh, I forgot about you all, my good disciples. You can die now too!"
Poof!
Li Yu transformed his palm into a sword, directly piercing through Hyoga's chest. A large amount of fresh blood flowed from Hyoga's mouth, and his consciousness gradually blurred... "Master, Master!"
Li Yu said lightly.
"To restore peace and order to Human Realm, Hyoga, go forth!"
Li Yu pointed a finger at Hyoga's forehead, and Hyoga's body collapsed with a thud!
Everything fell into endless silence!
...In the eternal Yomotsu Hirasaka of the Underworld, several newly arrived spirits looked at each other in disbelief.
Dohko clenched his fists, watching as numerous Gold Saints appeared one after another: Saga, Kanon, Aphrodite, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, Aiolia... Aldebaran, Mu!
He couldn't help but grit his teeth, his eyes filled with deep regret.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have trusted him. I saw his ulterior motives early on, but I never imagined he would be so deranged as to kill all the Gold Saints!"
In the end, even the five Bronze Saints arrived on the road to the Underworld.
Dohko's tightly clenched fists finally loosened, and the fighting spirit in his eyes gradually faded.
Regardless, this Holy War, the Sanctuary had lost, defeated by its own people... Just as everyone was completely despairing.
A warm, sacred, though faint, yet incredibly pure golden Cosmo light, like the first ray of dawn in the darkness, quietly pierced through the death aura of the Underworld, lighting up in the center of the Saints!
Dohko and the others instantly widened their eyes. Such a familiar feeling!
"This... this is!"
Before Dohko and the others could react, their souls gradually became ethereal, and a gravitational pull was about to draw them back into their bodies.
"Huh? What's happening again!"
The series of sudden changes and shocks had already left the Saints completely numb inside!
At the Summit of Holy Mountain, the goddess's divine blood, along with her remains, were all frozen by Li Yu.
Beside the goddess, golden lights enveloped the bodies of the Gold Saints. Then, a golden hourglass appeared, and the sands of time began to flow backward!
The bodies of the Gold Saints floated up from the ground on their own!
Li Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, but in reality, his heart was bleeding!
What a huge loss! Using the Time Hourglass on these dozen or so individuals simultaneously cost him over ten million credit points.
Fortunately, the great harvest of the goddess's divine blood could somewhat offset the losses!
As the Gold Saints and the Bronze Five stood up from the ground, everyone wore expressions of disbelief and shock. Li Yu turned around and said lightly.
"How does it feel to be resurrected? You should have all awakened the Eighth Sense, right? If not, I can send you down again to awaken it!"
Saga had somehow turned back to his black-haired state. He clenched his fists, feeling the powerful Cosmo that had broken through the Eighth Sense within him, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Li Yu, you're still so ruthless, even willing to kill your own comrades!"
"Tell us, what exactly is your plan?"
"And what's the situation with the goddess?"
Li Yu chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Now, don't you think I betrayed the goddess?"
"I have presided over the Sanctuary for over a decade; have I ever suffered a defeat?"
The Gold Saints blushed, stammering, unable to speak.
Hyoga was the most emotional. Tears welled up in his eyes. Wiping them away, he choked out.
"I knew it! Master wouldn't be so heartless towards me!"
"So, Master, why did you create such a huge commotion?"
Li Yu turned his back, gazing at the completely darkened World, and said lightly.
"My plan is very simple: to restore peace to Human Realm, eternal peace!"
