Saint Seiya: From the Succession of the Underworld

concept!

It seems very simple.

simply put.

Zeus mastered the concept of thunder; he could imbue everything with the concept of lightning: fire, water, wind, earth, even time and space…

Everything.

In Zeus's eyes, even lightning could be given a concept.

of course.

This is just a simple use of the concept; a deity who has not grasped the concept is facing an ancient god who has grasped the concept.

There is absolutely no chance of winning.

Defeat is certain!

This is absolutely no joke.

Any attack you launch, any divine power you wield, even any of your magical artifacts, any of your laws...

Everything was utterly meaningless.

In the eyes of the ancient gods who have mastered the concepts, a single glance is enough to imbue everything about you with their own concepts, thus bringing you under their control.

This is a fundamental difference, and it's completely meaningless.

“Apollo, if this is all there is to this game, I will be very disappointed.”

Zeus looked down at Apollo, who was covered in flames and lightning, and shook his head, seemingly bored.

next moment!

The boundless divine power suddenly exploded at that moment.

The 11 divine garments that were originally floating around Zeus suddenly began to scatter uncontrollably in all directions.

In an instant, including the Sun God Garment worn by Apollo.

The twelve divine garments converged to form a twelve-pointed star barrier, enveloping Zeus within it.

"Hephaestus."

Zeus remained unmoved by this scene, simply saying, "I guessed this a long time ago. Was this your preparation?"

Snapped!

Snapped!

With the sound of steady footsteps, Hephaestus emerged from the shadows, appearing to be a handsome young man with long, fiery red hair.

Reality.

This was merely a false appearance of Hephaestus. The real Hephaestus was an ugly man, and a cripple. He hid his true self and presented this false one instead.

"Father."

Hephaestus said in a hoarse voice, "This is the best opportunity to deal with you. The barrier made of 12 divine garments will only have this one chance. Although you have grasped the concept, you are not a true ancient god after all. I'm sure things won't be so easy."

Zeus looked around and said calmly, "Indeed, the barrier created by the twelve divine garments and the divine power contained within them is something that even I could not break immediately."

"but."

"Apollo, Hephaestus."

"With this barrier, you can trap me a little."

"Do you think this is enough to kill me?"

Zeus was indifferent, simply wanting to see what else Apollo and Hephaestus could do.

In Zeus's eyes, even the dying struggle of ants was quite interesting.

“Father, in your eyes, we are like ants struggling to die.”

"but."

"We have made all the necessary preparations."

"It can't be that simple!"

A hint of madness appeared in Apollo's eyes. With a flick of his hand, a longbow as bright as the sun instantly appeared.

"Oh?"

Zeus looked at the longbow and praised it, saying, "A fine artifact, forged by the three Cyclopes and Hephaestus together. It is a divine artifact comparable to thunder."

"This is not the end!"

Apollo's eyes blazed with fire, filled with the divine power of the sun, as he drew his bow and nocked an arrow with one hand.

next moment.

A long sword.

hmm~~~

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to call it a sword blank. It is a slender longsword with a bright red color throughout. The blade is narrow but also red. There is no guard or hilt. The hilt is simply covered by two dark red stones that have been polished.

This is less a complete longsword.

rather say……

Apollo nocked his crimson sword as an arrow onto the Sunbow in his hand.

That's right.

This crimson longsword is more like an arrow.

"die!"

Apollo practically spat out the word through gritted teeth. The next moment, a sword as blazing as the sun pierced through the air. But this was not the end, or rather, it was far from over.

Next.

Apollo drew one longsword after another, and these swords, with their arrows nocked and drawn, pierced through everything with incredible speed and power, each strike seemingly amplified many times over, as if they were meant to pierce through and devour everything.

“Each longsword is a top-tier divine weapon, paired with the Blazing Sun Longbow, which rivals thunder.”

"It seems."

“Apollo, you have prepared a great deal.”

"Unfortunately."

"You simply don't understand just how enormous the gap is between you and me."

Zeus's expression was filled with endless indifference, as if he didn't care at all about Apollo's repeated attacks.

He simply opened his palm, and in that instant, everything returned to calm.

Even just say it.

Those longswords, imbued with the concept of lightning, had turned and were falling towards Apollo.

"burst!"

Apollo, however, also ignited his divine power and uttered a single word once more.

In an instant.

The longswords exploded instantly, engulfing Zeus.

"Apollo, what you have done is truly remarkable!"

Zeus's voice echoed from within the flames; he appeared unharmed, yet his anger was palpable.

Obviously.

Even Zeus was left in a sorry state by this attack.

As the flames dissipated.

as predicted.

Zeus was unharmed, but he looked disheveled, and his anger was burning fiercely. He said coldly, "Alright, this farce should end now. Apollo, Hephaestus, use your lives to bring this to a complete end!"

Zeus raised the thunderbolt in his hand, which seemed to be just two simple bolts of lightning that pierced through the air.

At that moment, both Apollo and Hephaestus knew.

Certain death!

He didn't even have the chance to dodge. Apollo's heart was pierced in an instant. He weakly raised his head, looked at Zeus, and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, Father, I couldn't fully satisfy you!"

Chapter 109: Zeus Reclaims His Throne, and a Series of Changes

Apollo's reflections?

Do not!

This is ironic!

this moment.

Zeus's rage was fully ablaze.

Enjoy yourself to the fullest?

Are you kidding me?

To Zeus, these words sounded like sarcasm.

You, Apollo, are nothing more than a puppet I randomly chose.

when?

You, a mere puppet, are qualified to be compared to me?

Zeus's anger burned fiercely, and he said in a cold voice, "Apollo, you are very good. You have truly ignited my anger."

With a cold wave of his hand, Zeus instantly obliterated Hephaestus, annihilating everything from his body to his soul.

"Hehehe~~~"

Zeus's voice was cold and menacing as he said, "Apollo, aren't you very concerned about your sister?"

"Don't worry."

"I won't let you die like this."

"I will make you watch your sister suffer humiliation with your own eyes."

Zeus would not let it all end like this.

How dare you, Apollo, insult me?

Then the price you will have to pay will be absolutely certain.

"Zeus..."

Apollo lay on the ground, utterly powerless to resist, yet a mocking smile played on his lips as he weakly said, "Zeus, do you really think I was completely unprepared? You may be the victor now, but you will certainly not be the victor in the end."

Apollo's mocking smile fueled Zeus's rage even more fiercely.

Crackling!

Rumble!

The terrifying divine power and endless lightning seemed to be completely covering and enveloping everything.

Can……

At some unknown time, everything that belonged to Apollo had vanished without a trace.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Zeus sneered coldly, "Artemis, she can never escape my grasp. Rest assured, I will make Artemis suffer endless pain, eternity! Endless humiliation. Apollo, you will not die either; you will witness it all."
