Saint Seiya Evil Skull
Chapter 136: Jegufri's Weakness
When watching Saint Seiya: Nordic Arc and Soul of Gold, Alberich was deeply moved by two characters in both series. One was Balder, the immortal God Warrior of the Treetop Condor; the other, also immortal, was Zegufret, the First-Class Bright Star God Warrior of the Two-Headed Dragon.
However, there was a significant difference between their two immortalities. Jagufried's immortality came from bathing in the blood of an evil dragon. Because of this, the blood granted him this enviable and indestructible ability.
Balder's immortality, on the other hand, stemmed more from a curse. Fortunately, the curse had been successfully lifted by Alberich. Furthermore, Alberich had also specially replenished him with abundant vitality. While this vitality was also foreign, it originated from the mysterious World Tree.
Unlike the life force forcibly extracted directly from humans or animals, the life force contained in plants is relatively mild. Although this life force may still have a certain degree of influence on Balder, its influence is undoubtedly much smaller than the curse that was once placed on him.
Now that Balder's issue has been resolved, the next thing to do is to deal with another powerful being with an immortal body, Jegufried, who has become a difficult target that gives Albelisi a lot of headaches!
The reason for Jagufri's immortality was that, while bathing in the blood of an evil dragon, a leaf happened to land squarely on his heart. This coincidence exposed a single flaw in his previously indestructible body: the very spot where his heart was located. I wonder if Jagufri was being plotted against. Why would such a leaf fall at such a crucial and fatal moment, landing precisely on his heart?
In the original novel, when Jegufried unleashed his ultimate skill, "Blizzard Double Dragon Fist," he never anticipated that Shiryu would keenly detect this fatal weakness. Then, Shiryu and Seiya, in perfect coordination, launched a fierce and violent attack against Jegufried. Ultimately, they successfully pierced the divine armor at the heart, severely injuring Jegufried.
In the end, Jagufri was taken advantage of by the Sea Witch, Sulante, one of the Sea Generals. Even though Jagufri, determined to die together with Sulante, soared into the sky, the severely injured Jagufri was ultimately no match for Sulante, the Sea Witch in her prime, and was effectively exhausted by Sulante.
If Jagufrid didn't have such a glaring weakness, his ultimate fate would have been drastically different. You see, his immortality allows him to exert immense pressure on those at the same level, or even those slightly less powerful. It's like me punching you hard, causing real, fatal damage; but when you strike back, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely unable to have any substantial impact on me.
Recall a scene from the once-popular Chinese martial arts drama "Number One Under Heaven." The young and energetic Cheng Shifei engages in a fierce duel with the show's main villain, the Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi. Relying on his mastered Vajra Indestructible Kung Fu, he forges a fierce battle against the seasoned Zhu, a figure with over two hundred years of profound skill. With Cheng Shifei's Vajra Indestructible Kung Fu still intact, Zhu Wusi, despite his utmost skill, is unable to defeat Cheng Shifei, ultimately forcing him to a stalemate, attempting to exhaust his opponent's power.
The situation that Jiegu Fuli was in was actually quite similar to Cheng Shifei's, but also different. Compared to Cheng Shifei, Jiegu Fuli not only had more experience, but his talent was also not to be underestimated.
As one of the most prominent figures among the Asgardian God Warriors, Jagufried remained firmly at the pinnacle of Asgard's combat power before Alberich's full growth and rise. He was considered the ceiling of Asgard's combat power. Even today, he remains a powerful figure in the top three of the Asgardian power rankings.
As for whether Jegufuli can break through to the eighth sense of Alaya consciousness in the future, Alubelisi really can't give a definite answer, but what is certain is that if he wants to reach the state of great perfection of the seventh sense of Manas, it is not a difficult task for him, all he needs is enough time.
However, there was a very difficult problem with Jagufried, one that needed to be solved urgently. Initially, Alubelisi had considered replacing Jagufried's heart with Andreas Riise's. However, this would have raised a series of worrying issues.
First, Albelici was wary of Andreas Riise, fearing this elusive figure might harbor some hidden agenda. After all, Loki was an ancient god, embodying the vicissitudes of time. Who could be sure he wouldn't harbor some hidden means within his heart that could influence the situation?
Secondly, would Jagufried himself be willing to accept such an arrangement? Furthermore, after the heart transplant, could Jagufried still fully utilize his original powerful strength as before? Everything was full of uncertainty and was truly unpredictable.
Even if you were to get a heart transplant in modern medicine, there would still be rejection, let alone a God Warrior? If things go wrong, Jagufrid might go to meet Hades early.
It was after careful consideration and weighing of many factors that Albelis finally made the decision - to mercilessly throw Andreas Reese's heart, which was beating with mysterious power, to the ancient existence called the World Tree.
He was well aware of the principle of "after a blow, there must be a sweet reward." Previously, he had continuously drained vast quantities of precious vitality from the World Tree, causing the once lush and vibrant World Tree to gradually wither and languish, as if it had lost its former glory and vitality. If he continued this ruthless plunder without compensation, no one could predict whether the World Tree would suddenly erupt one day, retaliating against him or causing further unforeseen trouble.
Now, giving Andreas Riese's heart to the World Tree is undoubtedly a perfect solution. On the one hand, it successfully disposes of this troublesome heart, avoiding a series of unknown risks that might arise from it; on the other hand, it also presents the World Tree with a generous gift, replenishing it with sufficient nutrients. As the World Tree slowly digests Andreas Riese's heart, it will surely be able to regain some of its lost vitality and vigor!
However, how to solve Jegufri's heart problem was like a heavy mountain standing in front of Albelisi, making him feel extremely difficult.
"Oh! Being a leader is so hard! Not only do I have to worry about all sorts of things, but I also have to constantly worry about my subordinates. I'm afraid those nasty competitors will take advantage of the situation and eliminate my subordinates. Never mind, I'll just consider it like paying my debt! After all, Jagufried was my mentor. Although his mouth can be annoying sometimes, the help he gave me when I was little was real!"
Compared to Balder, his relationship with Jagufrid was actually closer. Whenever Alberich recalled the time when, at the age of six, he went to Asgard to seek Jagufrid's guidance, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Back then, it was only through Hilda's connections that he was able to meet this legendary figure.
Although Jagufried initially had no good impression of him, he taught him wholeheartedly and without reservation. However, neither of them was good at expressing their feelings. Even if they understood the other's good intentions, they would never easily say a word.
However, in fact, if he had not had the great help and firm support of the former strongest man in Asgard, Jegufri, it would not be easy for him to take over Asgard smoothly, and the various reforms in Asgard and even the entire Asgard would probably not be so smooth.
Furthermore, during the long periods when he frequently left the Asgard to cultivate, it was precisely because Jegufrit remained steadfast within the palace, his immense strength and authority providing a powerful deterrent to surrounding forces. This allowed the palace to maintain stability for a long time, avoiding any chaos. These various factors combined made Albelisi secretly determined to find a way to help Jegufrit resolve this problem.
