Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Albelisi continued to devour Neederde's soul energy. As the process progressed, the Xuanwu Sutra within his body began to circulate at a rapid speed. As if drawn by a mysterious force, this ancient and mysterious scripture released powerful energy fluctuations.

Under the almost frantic high-speed operation of the Xuanwu Sutra, Alubelisi was completely absorbed in digesting the power of Needlerd's soul. Although Needlerd was now only a fragmented soul, for Alubelisi, a mortal, the power contained in it was still unimaginably strong.

However, thanks to the magical effects of the Xuanwu Sutra, Needeld's soul slowly decomposed into streams of pure soul nutrients. These nutrients flowed into the depths of Albelisi's soul like a flowing stream, nourishing his originally fragile soul.

As time passed, Albelisi could clearly sense the profound transformations taking place within his soul. Every nutrient he absorbed significantly increased his spiritual power, a sense of fulfillment that intoxicated him. Gradually, he became absorbed in this wondrous state of cultivation, oblivious to his surroundings and wholeheartedly absorbing the boundless gifts from Needlerd's soul.

At this moment, a startling scene occurred—Albelisi's body began to slowly and uncontrollably float up, finally hovering steadily in mid-air! At the same time, a slight but clearly audible "hissing" sound emanated from Albelisi's body, as if something was gradually loosening and unlocking.

It turned out that the heavy shackles that had been restraining Albelisi from moving forward were being loosened bit by bit at a slow but firm pace.

With the shackles completely loosened, Albelisi effortlessly entered the realm of the ninth sense, Amoral Consciousness. However, for Albelisi, still in a coma, this new realm was meaningless. After all, he could not perceive the breakthroughs and achievements he had made, let alone understand and control this powerful power.

At this moment, Albelisi was like an unconscious body, quietly suspended in mid-air, filled with mystery and uncertainty. No one could predict when he would wake up, or even whether he would ever open his eyes again.

Looking out, Vanaheim remained a desolate landscape. The land was vast, yet no sign of life could be seen. Aside from Albelisi, no one else was in sight. The entire world seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling across the empty plains, as if telling the story of what had happened here.

At this moment, time is equivalent to standing still, maybe for a day, maybe for a month, maybe for a year, maybe forever.

Albelisi frantically absorbed Neddel's vast, surging energy. However, this energy was far too powerful, far beyond his ability to absorb and store! His body was like an overburdened container. Although he tried his best to accommodate more, he was ultimately unable to do so.

The excess energy began to gradually erode his flesh, seeping into it bit by bit. His once-sturdy muscle tissue seemed to have become as fragile as paper, easily torn apart by the violent force. As time passed, more and more energy seeped out of his body, forming brilliant rays of light.

Surprisingly, this overflowing energy didn't dissipate into the air, but was greedily absorbed by Albelici's mysterious Skull God Battle Armor. Like a bottomless pit, the armor continuously devoured the leaking energy, gleaming with an eerie and dazzling light. It seemed to strike a strange resonance with Albelici's body, its aura growing more powerful and terrifying with each energy it absorbed.

The Divine Battle Armor, damaged by the fierce battle with Needlerd, was now repairing itself at a visible speed. Mysterious rays of light emanated from within the armor, as if countless invisible hands were meticulously mending every crack and every damage. As time passed, the armor finally fully healed, but unexpectedly, it also began to undergo an unknown, benign transformation.

Looking at Alberich's Divine Battle Armor now, it had transformed dramatically! The wings that once stood on its back had become even larger and wider than before, like a pair of giant wings spread wide, ready to soar into the sky at any moment. Furthermore, the tips of the wings gleamed with a cold light, incredibly sharp, as if they could easily tear through anything that stood in their way. The entire Divine Battle Armor tightly enveloped Alberich's body, like an indestructible layer of armor.

At the same time, the color of the divine robe quietly changed. Initially a deep blue, it gradually gave way to a pure silver-white. This silver-white radiated a cool, clear glow, imbuing Albelisi with a sacred and noble aura.

However, the miraculous transformation didn't stop there. Even Albelici's hair color, affected by some mysterious force, gradually shifted from its original blue to the same silvery white. As a result, when he and Hilda stood side by side, the difference between their appearances became even more apparent. They resembled more like a loving sibling than a loving couple.

Alubelisi obviously didn't know all of this, and the Alubelisi in his consciousness space was still in a turbid state.

While Albelis was immersed in a sweet dream, Saori Kido and Seiya, Shiryu and others around her in the far east Tokyo were hurriedly boarding a flight to Athens, Greece. With firm beliefs and a sense of mission, they were about to embark on a journey full of mystery and danger - to the legendary Greek sanctuary.

Just as the original novel depicted, a thrilling battle was about to begin when the group arrived before the twelve zodiac signs. However, as they made their way to the zodiac, the masked and elusive Michiaki Yasaza met them and attacked with a golden arrow, striking Saori Kido. Instantly, Saori collapsed in a pool of blood, her life in danger.

Faced with such a critical situation, Seiya, Shiryu, and five other fearless young men refused to retreat. Transforming themselves into indomitable warriors, they resolutely advanced into the Zodiac with their unwavering will and exceptional combat skills. Along the way, they encountered numerous obstacles, but they never gave up.

Finally, after countless fierce battles and life-or-death struggles, the Five Warriors successfully broke through the layers of blockades of the Twelve Zodiac Signs. With astonishing perseverance and strength, they defeated powerful enemies one after another. Among them, the four renowned Gold Saints—Saga of Gemini, Shura of Capricorn, Camus of Aquarius, and Apollodi of Pisces—all died heroically in this fierce battle.

Athena's direct descendants, including Shiryu and Hyoga, were resurrected on her way to the Pope's Palace, ultimately defeating Saga and successfully reclaiming control of the Sanctuary. As for the three Gold Saints who died earlier in the battle, Capricorn Gold Saint Shura, Aquarius Gold Saint Camus, and Pisces Gold Saint Apollodi, their deaths were effectively in vain, having been buried alive with the former Pope Saga.

At the same time, the Sanctuary, which lost four Gold Saints and most of the Silver Saints, also saw its strength greatly reduced, and its deterrence to other powerful forces gradually decreased.

However, there is one significant difference from the original novel: the Cancer Gold Saint Deathmask. Perhaps due to his unfortunate experience of being deceived and instigated by Alberich, his suppressed desires and impulses erupted like a volcano, ultimately completely releasing his true self.

For this reason, during the fierce duel with Shiryu, Deathmask's behavior was uncharacteristically different. The cold-blooded, ruthless, and loyal Saga henchman of Deathmask seemed to vanish, replaced by a merciful, spared-the-killer image. It was precisely because of this that Deathmask was able to escape the fierce battle unscathed.
