663: God's presence

Chapter 663: Divine Descent

So… is it time for a Divine Descent, then? Athena frowned slightly.

She wasn't sure if the Saint Seiya needed it, and a Divine Descent wasn't something that could be done on a whim.

Even Athena couldn't use such a cross-time and space ability whenever she pleased.

Moreover, the Saint Seiya hadn't given her any "hints," so Athena was a little conflicted.

The Saint Seiya: Is there a possibility, Goddess, that you never told us about Divine Descent?

Athena didn't realize this at all… Hmm~ as a goddess with the word "wisdom" in her title, she wouldn't think this was "a given," would she?

After all, just because she understood many things didn't mean others did, and just because she knew didn't mean others knew too.

Emmm~ perhaps, maybe!

Athena hadn't realized this issue at all.

But it didn't really matter… the initiative was still in Athena's hands.

Athena watched the Saint Seiya's condition, monitoring them constantly, ready to initiate a Divine Descent at any moment.

Huh?! Not good!

… … … …

In the shattered world.

The Saint Seiya were entangled with the Void Creature.

Its size was simply too immense.

Dozens of meters tall, and this was just its body.

Not counting its arms and the bone spears on its back.

"Whew~ whew~ This armor is really too tough! Only Aier can break through it!" Fick said, panting heavily.

Not only that, as a stat-monster Void Creature, whenever they attacked, they basically received a counterattack.

Getting hit squarely was too painful!

With its size and power… if they weren't dead after being hit, it truly meant the Saint Seiya were too tough!

Protected by their saint cloth, protected by their Little Universe, plus their own strong bodies.

Even so, the saint cloth of the Saint Seiya present were basically half-destroyed; not a single piece of saint cloth was intact.

Everyone's injuries varied, but without exception, they all looked extremely miserable.

"Can everyone still hold on?" Aier stood at the very front, asking loudly.

"Still okay!"

"We can do it!"

"Still able to fight!"

Everyone answered Aier's question in unison.

Although they were indeed very tired and in pain, and their injuries were not light.

However, the battle still had to continue!

"This is our first mission! We must complete it!" Fick declared loudly, his gaze fixed on the Void Creature.

The Void Creature suddenly roared at him.

A Void energy impact struck again.

The Saint Seiya instantly scattered and dodged.

With experience, this time no Saint Seiya was hit.

After dodging, everyone once again launched attacks towards the Void Creature.

However, compared to their previous attacks, their power had already decreased significantly.

After all, they were seriously injured, and their Little Universe had been consumed greatly, and their stamina was insufficient.

Naturally, they couldn't unleash any stronger power.

It was already difficult to break its defense before, let alone now.

The Void Creature also seemed to be aware of this situation; it began to attack faster, both in terms of strength and frequency, which had increased significantly.

Finally, one Saint Seiya couldn't hold on; with one strike, he only managed to produce a "clang" sound on the Void Creature's body.

Subsequently, he was pierced by a bone spear; fortunately, he dodged in time, and it only went through his shoulder.

He was picked up by the Void Creature like a rag doll, swung in the air, and then flung away.

Boom!

The latter slammed heavily into a mountain wall, lying inside, with a bloody hole in his shoulder, blood flowing.

Most of his saint cloth was shattered, and due to the influx and impact of Void energy, he had already fainted.

If he wasn't treated in time, he would probably perish here.

The Saint Seiya had their first casualty!

Although not dead, it looked like he was not far from death.

If they continued to fight…

The first Saint Seiya's fall seemed to open a switch.

Immediately after, in less than two minutes, another person fell.

Two, three, four… Soon, only one female Saint Seiya, Fick, and Aier were left in the arena.

"What should we do?" Fick said, frowning, looking at the Void Creature opposite, which also looked equally "miserable."

However, the opponent had been using Void energy to restore its body, so the armor that had been shattered before had almost fully recovered.

Just as Aier and the others were preparing to fight to the death.

Suddenly, the voice of Goddess Athena rang in their minds: "Empty yourselves."

It's Goddess Athena!

We are saved!

Fick's face lit up with joy.

On the other side.

Athena's face was a little grim, because while she was still hesitating, a "casualty" suddenly appeared; the aura rapidly declined, and if it weren't for the last lingering breath, Athena would have thought one had died.

Moreover, the fall of the first one triggered a chain reaction.

Soon, the second, third, and fourth followed in quick succession.

In a moment of distraction, only three of her Saint Seiya were still standing!

She no longer waited for anything and directly activated Divine Descent!

Thus, the scene just now unfolded.

Aier, Fick, and the female Saint Seiya stood in a triangular formation.

Their Little Universe burned wildly on their bodies.

The Void Creature charged towards them, attacking!

And the next moment, a holy light burst forth from the three of them.

Ding!

A terrifying force instantly sent the charging Void Creature flying backward.

Boom!!!

Its massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, and the world seemed to shake.

Then, amidst a holy light, this "black" world was illuminated even brighter.

Athena's figure slowly emerged from the holy light.

This was just a projection of Athena; her strength was less than one percent of her true power.

"Hmm?! Is this the thing you've been dealing with…" Athena looked at the ugly monster with the massive body in the distance; it was struggling to get up from the ground.

"It's really ugly!" Athena shook her head slightly, then raised one hand.

Then, holy light converged in her hand, forming a lance and a tower shield.

Yes, Athena held a tower shield in one hand and a lance in the other.

Both weapons seemed larger than Athena herself…

This was the Goddess of War and Wisdom!

"Go bring everyone else back." Athena said.

"Yes!" Fick and the female Saint Seiya said without hesitation, then ignored the Void Creature and ran directly to bring back their unconscious teammates.

Meanwhile, the Void Creature got up and immediately roared at Athena.

It used one of its signature skills.

A shockwave of Void energy once again spewed from its mouth.

Whoa! What a big breath!

Athena faced such an attack differently from how the Saint Seiya handled it.

She did not dodge but thrust the tower shield in her hand forward.
