Saint Seiya Evil Skull
Chapter 26: Manas
The Iron Shirt's mastery had a profound impact on Albelisi. His internal organs were already incredibly strong, but now, through a special method, even his skin had become incredibly hard.
This also provided a path for other S-class Divine Warriors to improve. Afterward, the three S-class Divine Warriors who had helped Albelisi with his training returned and diligently practiced the Iron Shirt, validating and coordinating their efforts. After achieving success, they sparred with other S-class Divine Warriors and felt noticeably more defensive and resilient than their peers. Divine Warriors of similar strength also noticed this. After repeated inquiries, they learned of the Iron Shirt's purpose. They flocked to the quest hall to redeem their Iron Shirts and began practicing accordingly. After all, everyone needs to have some points in their account to spare! This invisibly bolstered the combat effectiveness of the Asgardian Divine Warriors.
Having previously helped Albelisi cultivate the Iron Shirt, they already had a certain understanding of how to practice it. They then began to delve deeper into the technique, incorporating it into their own cultivation system. After a period of effort, they successfully cultivated the Iron Shirt to a higher level, significantly enhancing its defense and enabling them to use its power for offensive attacks.
At the same time, other S-rank divine warriors followed suit and began practicing Iron Shirt. During this process, they shared their experiences and discussed cultivation methods, leading to a deeper understanding of Iron Shirt among the divine warriors throughout the Asgard. This atmosphere of healthy competition continuously enhanced the overall strength of the Asgard.
As time went on, more and more divine warriors mastered the essence of the Iron Shirt, and their strength gradually surpassed their previous levels. When facing powerful enemies, they no longer relied solely on their own strength, but instead relied on the Iron Shirt's blessing to unleash even greater combat power.
In a battle against a powerful enemy, the Asgardian warriors displayed incredible strength. They used the defensive power of their iron shirts to withstand the enemy's fierce attacks, then seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and ultimately achieved victory. This battle brought Asgardian fame and made more people realize the importance of the iron shirts, but that's a story for another time.
From then on, Iron Shirt became a must-practice technique for all Asgardian warriors, and those who first mastered it became admired by everyone. They proved through their actions that as long as one dared to try new things and break through oneself, one could achieve one's goals.
Our protagonist, Alberich, has done a good thing for Asgard. And because of the Iron Shirt, Alberich's physical defense ability has skyrocketed, allowing him to withstand even more powerful microcosms.
That day, Albelisi, having mastered the Iron Shirt, journeyed alone to the Scandinavian Mountains, the harshest mountain range in Northern Europe, boasting an extremely cold climate. Braving the cold currents and snow, Albelisi steadily ascended the mountaintop, determined to use one last fire. He hoped the harsh natural conditions of the Scandinavian mountains would stimulate him and lead him to enlightenment.
By this time, Albelisi's body had completely stiffened, but the inner universe within him began to erupt like a volcano! Under these harsh conditions, his inner universe unexpectedly burned violently and uncontrollably. At the same time, the natural forces within him were also swirling wildly under the influence of a powerful will.
Destructive natural storms continuously formed and spread within the microcosm, the violent and raging energy flows relentlessly impacting the natural spirits within it. Under the continuous influence of these countless natural storms, the entire microcosm was plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
One by one, nature spirits were destroyed in this endless storm, and each destroyed nature spirit released a storm of energy contained within. As time passed, this violent and violent cosmic energy accumulated more and more, and the originally stable natural structure gradually became unable to suppress this increasingly massive energy storm.
Albelisi's inner universe was on the verge of collapse, yet in these final moments of his life, his thoughts surged like a tidal wave. He recalled all the efforts he had made in this life, the days and nights of training and battle; at the same time, he also recalled the experiences of his previous life—that dull and frustrating life that filled him with immense regret.
An obsession of not wanting to be inferior to others protects Albelisi.
"Isn't it too cowardly to die like this? Even if I get chopped to death, I have to bite off a piece of his flesh first! Come on, burn my little universe, even if I die, I will let it emit the most beautiful light!" Albelisi said viciously.
"Oh!"
With a devastating bang, Albelisi felt as if his body was being torn apart by violent energy and was about to gradually dissipate into nothingness.
Albelisi slowly opened his eyes. The cosmic storm within him had completely subsided. After the explosion, the myriad cosmic spirits within him strangely condensed into seven small spirits of different colors: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, representing the seven natural forces Albelisi had comprehended. At this moment, Albelisi felt his entire body filled with power, the power to destroy everything.
The seventh sense? Yes, this is the legendary seventh sense, the awakening of the manas! Manas is the ability to transcend all worries, leaving only a trace of obsession within. Originally, according to Albelici's personality, he would never truly be able to let go of all worries and retain only a trace of obsession in his life. Unlike orthodox God Warriors like Jegufrid and Sigmund, he is too utilitarian, cares too much, and has too many distractions. However, in the end, his belief in survival is what makes him successful. When Albelici is truly desperate, the resentment of two lives gave him a desperate obsession. Out of this utter despair, he triggered the transformation of his microcosm and realized the manas.
Albelici's manas differs from that of the other powerful minds in that it truly emerged from their own understanding. While the other powerful minds also developed their manas at moments of despair, they relied on the inner cosmos of the goddess Athena. It wasn't a true realization, but rather a sudden epiphany, a leap from the early and middle stages of the sixth sense to the seventh. This kind of sudden enlightenment is difficult to sustain; simply put, it remains at the same level after the burst. Albelici, however, was different. He already had a perfected sixth sense, and most of his body was already hovering at the seventh, only missing the final step. This was also due to his own understanding and strength, so his seventh sense was a natural progression, developed over time. With only a period of consolidation, he would be able to permanently achieve the seventh sense.
What is the seventh sense? The seventh sense represents the true pinnacle of human ability. In ancient times, those who achieved the seventh sense were often called saints, possessing destructive power comparable to that of gods. Albelis can now challenge gods. Of course, with their current strength, they can only challenge third-tier gods. If they encounter a second-tier god like Hypnos, the god of sleep, Albelis can only tuck their tails between their legs and flee without being noticed.
For Alberich, what is the seventh sense? It's the daring confidence to be the first. Having achieved the seventh sense, manas, combined with his current abilities, he could absolutely outperform the original Alberich. From this moment on, every improvement in his strength would be a testament to his own efforts to defy fate.
It has been six years since I crossed Asgard at the age of six. During these six years, through my unremitting efforts, I have strengthened my knowledge of many routes in Northern Europe.
First, from the Asgardian side, the number of God Warriors has increased from 8 to 15, representing a significant increase in strength. Furthermore, by discovering and training these God Warriors early, allowing them to receive the bonuses of the God Armor earlier, and providing them with the most suitable training environment, the best training equipment, and the best living conditions, they have achieved the ultimate. If this still can't surpass the strength shown in the original work, then they really should consider committing suicide.
Secondly, from the perspective of Asgard, the residents' standard of living has significantly improved. Even if they don't do anything, relying solely on the Asgard subsistence allowance as a native is enough to maintain a comfortable life. If they choose to work, the salary and bonus income are even more generous, allowing them to live a prosperous life. For those who participate in the battle, benefits such as commissions, rewards, subsidies, and commissions have enabled them to rise to the upper class. As a result, the loyalty of the residents of Asgard to the Asgard has been greatly enhanced, almost to an infinite degree. Anyone who dares to rebel will be surrounded and beaten by the crowd, and then taken to the Asgard Security Bureau—yes, the security bureau founded by the golden-haired pig god warrior Frodi.
Secondly, from the perspective of Northern Europe, the demonstration of force led by Albelisi and Jökufröl in Stockholm Harbor, coupled with the Asgardian God Warriors' continuous completion of various difficult missions in recent years, has further intensified the five Nordic nations' reverence for Asgard. Asgard's rising popularity has also inadvertently brought it numerous advantages. For example, the small Swedish town of Luleå has become the gateway to Asgard, even stationed at the police station with the God Warrior Sigmund. Various resources continue to flow through Luleå to Asgard. At the same time, the Swedish government has politically relinquished Luleå's management. Luleå's administrators are now transferred from Åsgerdt. It can be said that Sweden has tacitly accepted that Norrbotten Province, where Luleå is located, is under Asgard's jurisdiction and has withdrawn all military, police, and government personnel.
Finally, from Albelisi's own perspective, as a powerful warrior at the early stage of the seventh sense manas, he has superb swordsmanship and great hand skills. Coupled with the bonus of the crystal system and the vigorous power of the nature system, he is far superior to his original self and should be able to compete with the strongest warriors at the peak of the seventh sense.
