Chapter 48 Underworld
"Is this...the underworld?"
Of course, Wu Jian was not dead. When he collided with the power of the Sleeping God, he realized the eighth sense in time before he could appear in the underworld alive.
"What is this feeling? Am I resurrected in the underworld after I die, or am I alive and breaking through the space and coming to the underworld because of the traction force of the underworld when I am about to die?"
Wu Jian looked down at his hands, not sure why. Wu Jian couldn't understand it. Although he raised the small universe to the top and broke through to understand the eighth sense, his attention was all on the sleeping god at that time. He was hit by the power of the sleeping god, and he was in a mysterious and mysterious state. When he came back to his senses, he had already arrived in the underworld. Even if he understood the eighth sense, it was only a matter of a moment. To exert the eighth sense, it still needed to slowly explore.
"...... I should get familiar with the eighth feeling... Why did I appear in this place in the underworld? I feel... Is someone deliberately guiding me."
Wu Jian is in the ice hell in the underworld. Although Wu Jian did not have a clear consciousness when he came to the underworld, he could still find some clues after experiencing it carefully.
But who is it? Staying here is not a solution. Wu Jian walked into the depths of the Ice Hell. As he continued to deepen, the biting cold continued to erode Wu Jian's body and soul. Even with Wu Jian's current strength, he felt a cold air filled with cold air.
"Are these... all Saints?"
Under the ice, a person was buried, revealing only a head full of pain. Although the ice hell is boundless, it is not small. Among them, they are all Saints of all ages, and there is nothing else. Although I already know what the situation is here, I still shocked Wu Jian.
At this moment, a sound rang out.
"Yes, from the age of mythology, the Saints who died in battle with Hades were buried in this ice hell and suffered forever."
Even if Wu Jian doesn't look back, he will know who their owner is.
"teacher......"
Wu Jian slowly turned around and spoke face to Ashimida again. But Wu Jian was a little surprised at Ashimida's current state.
Faced with Wu Jian's surprise, Ashimida said lightly: "Is it strange that I am in my current state?"
"Yes, teacher, you should understand the eighth feeling, but your current state is different from what I imagined."
"Because I am dead, although I realized the eighth sense before I died, I must sacrifice my life to complete the one hundred and eight beads. And you are different. You came to the underworld alive, and your body is not dead."
"Sure enough, teacher, you helped me and then led me to this ice hell."
"If you can't understand the eighth sense, I can't help you, but I'm very pleased that you can understand the eighth sense and come here."
Ah Shimida showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there seemed to be a different meaning in his words.
"Teacher...what are you going to let me come here?"
Ashimida did not answer immediately, but stroked a head under her feet with her hand. Although the head also showed a painful expression, it was different from other heads that could no longer be seen. His face was still very clear, and Wu Jian had also seen him.
“He is…”
"He is a Saint Seiya of our generation. Although he has experienced the pain of death, he still cannot get peace after death. When he dies, he will be directly thrown into this ice hell by the power of the underworld, and will continue to endure the pain of freezing in those endless years. Just like those predecessors!"
As soon as Ashimida waved his hand, a big pit immediately appeared on the ice surface, but Han Bing immediately repaired it at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing the exposed Saint Seiya's soul again.
"Side missions, free the souls in the Ice Hell. Reward one Valhalla after completing the mission, deduct 10,000 experience points if the mission fails, and two S-level plots are crystallized."
(It's actually an item reward... but this task is probably not easy to complete. I just completed the task of sealing the Sleeping God... The penalty for failure can still be paid, but...)
For a moment, Wu Jian didn't know what to do. The ice here is broken, but not as strong as it is. To free all the souls here, you need to melt these ice (not just souls on the surface, but also some old ones buried deep in the depths of the ice). If you really want to do this, you may have to completely burn your life like Ashimida.
"Although I have tried to save them, it still won't work just by my own strength."
Ashimida's words woke up the thoughtful Wu Jian, and also surprised Wu Jian.
"No... okay?"
"Yes, no!"
Ashimida answered Wu Jian's words firmly, but he still has the following.
"Although I can't do it, but Wu Jian, you can!"
"I can do it? But with the teacher's strength, I'm afraid I can't do it!"
Wu Jian quickly asked, "He didn't want to sacrifice his life for nothing." If Ah Shimida helped with him... No, a simple one plus one might not work."
"I can't do that because I'm not complete, but you are a complete Saint Seiya, the body, soul, and the small universe. With the golden holy cloak that represents the twelve zodiac signs, you can definitely do it!"
“………………”
Wu Jian was silent, and seemed to see through Wu Jian's thoughts. Ashimida continued: "Don't worry, you are not alone, I will help you."
Ashimida didn't seem to have planned to let Wu Jian refuse. After saying this, he meditated on the spot. However, Ashimida was not just meditating, he began to burn the small universe. The eighth sense of the small universe burned with all its strength, allowing the biting cold ice hell to cover the warmth. However, burning like him cannot last long. Moreover, if this continues...
"teacher!!"
"Don't be sad. You should be aware of this kind of thing. This is just one step ahead. Athena will ask you."
Although I understood that this kind of thing was inevitable, Wu Jian couldn't help but shed tears. But there was not much time left for Wu Jian. As Ashimida's small universe became more and more intense, his whole body turned into a small universe and merged into the ice hell.
“………………”
Wu Jian gritted his teeth and called on Virgo's holy clothes.
"Come on! Virgo's holy clothes!!!"
A golden light cut through the sky, breaking through the barriers between the underworld and the human world and fell directly to Wu Jian. The golden light dissipated, and Wu Jian had already put on the golden holy clothes of Virgo!
Wu Jian walked to Ashimida's seat and sat down.
"There is not much time, so what should I do? ... Since I can't destroy it from the outside, then start melting it from the inside!"
Wu Jian slowly burned his own small universe, echoing the small universe of Ashimida who had merged into the ice hell. He emitted amazing heat and slowly merged into the ice hell. After the small universe was completely burned to its peak, Wu Jian had completely merged into the ice hell.
"Complete the side mission and reward the Valhalla."
Although it is melting, it is not actually a physical melting, but a release of its restraint on the souls of the Saints. Wu Jian then freed the souls of the Saints. Wu Jian had previously integrated himself into the ice hell, so now he... is stuck! And Wu Jian, who is fully burning the small universe, is undoubtedly weak now. Whether he can break the ice or not is still a question.
(Oh no! There is no power to go out... Although after the Saints' souls were freed, the power of their spiritual bodies remained in my body, but there is no spare energy to use it.)
Ashimida's small universe had been exhausted long ago, and Wu Jian's physical strength was not enough. The power of the Ice Hell was still in play. The cold air continued to invade Wu Jian's body and soul. If this continued, Wu Jian would have to die here.
Wu Jian tried hard to mobilize all the powers that could be mobilized, the body, soul, and the small universe, but he still could not escape from the ice. Just as Wu Jian was anxious, the power left by the souls of the Saint Seiya flooded into a place deep in the soul, which was...
"Is this!?"
Following the flow, Wu Jian found that there was a palace deep in his soul, which probably had just received the mission reward - the Palace of Heroes!
Wu Jian knew that he was just an ordinary person before, and there would never be such a thing in his soul. If you say that when something was stuffed into his soul and Wu Jian could not find it, then there was only the main god. Moreover, this was a palace-like thing, so it could only be a mission to reward the Temple of Heroes.
(How should I use this?) I don’t have time to think about it! While the Temple of Heroes is activated, use it first.
Although Wu Jian, who considered this, did not know how to use it, he still tried to let it leave his soul.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, a large pit was smashed into a large pit near Wu Jian, and Wu Jian was able to escape. However, Wu Jian, who had just barely climbed out of the pit, couldn't help but fall on the ice.
"Damn it! This is...why...that's the same thing..."
Wu Jian's soul kept trembling, and his soul was in great pain as if he was about to collapse, and he was almost in a coma. However, if he fell down here, he would be buried again by the ice. Wu Jian could only climb out of the ice surface desperately.
