Surrounding Hades (Second Update)

"Saint Cloth!"

Shocked by Hades' terrifying Cosmo, all five members of the Saga, except for Shion who did not summon his Cloth, unleashed their Cosmo and summoned their own Gold Cloth.

In an instant, the five Saint Cloths —Gemini, Aquarius, Capricorn, Pisces, and Cancer —stored in the Twelve Palaces transformed into streams of light and flew out automatically, then donned by the five individuals.

"Illusion Demon Emperor Fist!"

"The Athena Exclamation!"

"The Holy Sword!"

"Bloody Rose!"

"Sekishiki Meikai Ha!"

"Starlight Extinction!"

Together with Mu and the other six Gold Saints, they launched their strongest attack on Hades.

"Hmph, you think you can take me on?"

Hades, who was just beginning to awaken, widened his eyes and unleashed a powerful burst of death energy, which directly deflected all the Moves back.

Camus, Shura, Aphrodite, and Deathmask were sent flying by their own Moves. Mu dodged the attack by Shunpo, Saga, being the strongest, managed to block it.

"To be able to unleash such an attack at the initial stage of awakening, it seems that Hades' true strength is even greater than I expected."

Hawking, instead of making a move, retreated to observe the Seiya and the others who had just been knocked away.

Hades' human form has six stages of awakening. As time goes by, the later the stage of awakening, the stronger the power becomes.

After reaching the final stage of awakening, the human form will look almost identical to the true form and will be able to exert half the power of the true form.

Hawking never expected that this first stage of awakening would be enough to easily break the combined attack of six Gold Saints.

However, this is understandable, since the Gold Saint of this generation are weaker than those of the previous Holy War.

Especially the aquatic duo, Pisces and Cancer from the previous generation were among the top Gold Saint.

The key issue is that Athena has not yet activated the Sanctuary's barrier to suppress Hades's Cosmo.

"Old comrade-in-arms, it seems we can fight together again!"

Dohko threw away his cane and shouted, unleashing his powerful inner Cosmo. His body immediately began to rejuvenate, transforming him from a frail old man back into his strongest eighteen-year-old self.

At the same time, the Libra Gold Cloth flew over and put on him.

"Master!"

At this Shunpo, Mu, who had teleported away from the attack, shouted loudly and actually made his Saint Cloth disintegrate and fly to Shion.

He knew that the Aries Gold Cloth would be more powerful when worn by his teacher, Shion, to fight Hades.

At the same time, Athena, who was in the Athena's Temple, also felt the power of Hades below, and immediately took Kanon, who had come to apologize, and ran down to the Twelve Gold Palaces.

She planned to take the Gold Saint guarded each palace with her to provide support.

In fact, the Gold Saint guarding each palace also noticed the strange thing about the Aries Palace, since the Fire Clock had been set on fire.

However, without the orders of the Pope and Athena, they could not leave the palace they were guarding, lest they be lured away and endanger Athena's safety.

"Hmph, you annoying ants, just die already!"

Hades, who had taken over Body Flicker Technique, sensed that Athena's Cosmo was on its way and, without further delay, began to amplify it.

"Death Space!"

With a gentle touch, an energy filled with the aura of death spread outwards from Hades, causing all the plants it touched to wither and turn to ashes.

Hades' Death Space can instantly kill any living being that touches it.

"Stardust Revolution!"

Shion unleashed his strongest technique, pushing his Cosmo to its maximum, and attacked Hades.

This technique uses super-powerful telekinesis to summon fragments of cosmic stars, then amplifies them to the speed of light, creating an attack resembling countless meteorites falling from the Milky Way, forming a high-speed rotating cosmic cluster that destroys everything.

Dohko also joined him in the attack.

"The Rozan Hundred Dragons Force!"

Countless azure dragons, formed from the Cosmo, roared as they attacked Hades.

Any one of these Azure Dragons, taken individually, could defeat Gold Saint like Aphrodite.

The two combined their Moves, increasing their power even further, and actually managed to blast Hades' Death Space to smithereens.

Hades his hand to dissipate the aftershocks of his Moves, and an angry expression began to appear on his face.

"A mere mortal dares to slay a god!"

As his anger grew, the Cosmo within him became increasingly terrifying, and his hair gradually turned from red to black, seemingly indicating that he was about to enter the second stage of awakening ahead of schedule.

"Galaxian Explosion!"

Just then, Saga appeared behind Hades without anyone noticing and unleashed his mind control technique.

Caught off guard, Hades was caught completely off guard by Saga's sneak attack.

"How is that possible!"

Unfortunately, the Galaxian Explosion, which could control Gold Saint of the same level, only made Hades' eyes go vacant for less than three seconds before returning to normal.

Although Hades was not using his true body, but Shun's physical body, his soul was his own, making him incredibly powerful.

Being able to control the enemy for three seconds is already quite impressive.

"How dare you! You dare to enslave the mind of God! You shall die!"

Hades, regaining his senses, flew into a rage, turned to look at Saga, his eyes glowing red, and unleashed a terrifying death energy a thousand times more powerful than Saga.

"That's about it!"

Sensing that Athena and the other Saints were about to arrive, Hawking stopped watching and flashed directly above Hades' head.

"Super Kamehameha ~~~"

Instantly gathering eighty percent of his internal energy, an incredibly terrifying Energy Wave shot straight at Hades.

"What!"

Feeling the terrifying energy above his head that was enough to destroy his current physical body, Hades immediately shifted his attack, shooting the death energy in his eyes at Hawking's Kamehameha.

The two energies collided, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

"Saga, give him one more time."

Just then, Saga heard Hawking's telepathic message in his mind, so he immediately unleashed the Galaxian Explosion at Hades again.

Hades was hit a second time by Hawking, and was locked in a three-second hard stun.

The death energy that erupted in its eyes dissipated instantly.

"Don't hurt Shun!"

Seeing Hawking's Energy Wave heading towards Hades's body, which Hades had taken over, Seiya, Ikki, and the other three immediately shouted loudly to Hawking, fearing that Shun would be killed.

Hawking was prepared; he simply raised his hands, and the Energy Wave that was about to hit Body Flicker Technique made a sharp turn and flew into the air.

However, that was not enough. Taking advantage of Hades being controlled for three seconds, he immediately used the Sealing Technique that had sealed Ego last time.

"The God Sealing Array!"

A powerful seal covered every corner of Body Flicker Technique. Shun's hair, which was originally turning black, began to gradually return to its original color with the help of the God Sealing Array.

However, Hades of the underworld, is not so easily sealed away.

With the hard control over the body ending, Hades' power erupted wildly, causing the God Sealing Array to immediately become unstable.
