Saint Seiya

Of course Aegeon knew that he had become gold, but he used to call him "Phoenix".

In fact, it doesn't matter, just like after Seiya became a Sagittarius, he would occasionally say that he was "Seiya of Pegasus".

"elder brother!"

She glanced at Ikki and called out to him.

"Ikki"

"Mr. Ikki"

Guangya, Soma, and Yuna shouted at the same time that this person would come is completely unexpected.

Ikki walked forward slowly and came to the side of Shun and the others, and he also looked at his younger brother.

"I really got stronger, Shun!"

"elder brother!"

"I am proud of you"

Ikki had actually witnessed the battle just now, and he had also seen Shun push back Aegeon, and he had an advantage in fighting him.

The brothers had been separated for many years, and this reunion made Ikki even more emotional. Shun's growth was stronger than he imagined, and he couldn't believe it was the cry-loving brother back then.

"It's exchanged, Shun. I'll be his opponent, and you all move on!"

"But, brother!"

Shun's words were reluctant, he would rather fight with Ikki.

"It doesn't matter, the me now is not the me I used to be!"

Ikki was only talking about the previous battle with Aegeon, not when they were teenagers. Now he has become a Leo Gold Saint, and is about to show his fangs to the enemy.

He followed and looked forward.

"Agaon, in order to settle with you, I, Ikki, will return to the battlefield in the name of the Golden Lion this time!"

"Hey, it looks like this time will be more interesting!"

Compared to Ikki's more aggressive words, Aegeon just felt more interested in this.

"Eggeon, let me defeat you!"

"Are you telling the truth? In the previous battle against you, you should have been seriously injured by my blow. Even so, are you going to defeat me?"

Ikki suddenly released an incomparably powerful microcosm from his entire body, the gas that erupted continued to spread, and golden thunder and lightning instantly filled his body, as if a lion of thunder was about to roar.

"It's amazing, a small universe almost on the same level as Mr. Shun just now."

"Is this the true strength of Ikki?"

Guangya and Cang Mo watched in astonishment from behind.

(No, that's not right. My brother can make the microcosm to this point in an instant, so it proves that there is still energy left. What kind of training did you do after Yusei bestowed the golden holy clothes on your brother? To be able to do it in a month? become so awesome!)

However, Shun had a different view from the others.

Ikki smiled meaningfully.

"Hmph, don't compare me now with that time. You should also feel that my change is not only related to wearing the golden holy clothes, but also the fact that my strength is stronger than before."

Indeed, he could feel it, and although Aegeon did not speak, he understood.

"Hey, those eyes, that aggressive little universe...are you serious!? There's something in you that I don't know about. Well, Leo, I'll accept the outcome with you!"

After finishing speaking, a blue light also appeared on Aegeon, and his little universe continued to improve.

"Everyone, stand on one side and leave it to your brother!"

Shun asked them not to intervene and let these two fight.

"But, Mr. Shun!"

"Your opponent is a 'First-Class Ketchup Fighter'!"

"My brother doesn't like gatherings the most. When he wants to do it, he will definitely do it, no matter who the opponent is."

After Shunto said so, they didn't mean to join. After all, even Shun didn't intervene himself, and there was no room for them to enter.

"I know"

Hikaru replied, Yuna and Soma also nodded.

"Brother, I won't leave. Athena is guarded by Yusei, and his words will be fine. I will witness my brother's battle here!"

A few people walked farther away.

Ikki didn't respond, his attention was completely focused on the other party.

"Companion? Brother? Boring! You seem to think that you can win by gathering your strength. No matter how many weak people gather, they can't compare to our Four Heavenly Kings! Don't even know that, humans are stupid creatures!"

Even though he was interested in humans, Aegeon also blindly believed that humans were "weak".

If you don't really understand what a "human" is, the enemy will be defeated instead. This is a precedent from the past. Yuxing once said that once the enemy underestimated human beings and did not understand enough, they would still be defeated by them in the end.

Humans have powers beyond their imagination.

"You seem to be very interested in humans, I just don't understand!"

"What? What's going on?"

Facing Ikki's ridicule, Aegeon just frowned.

——The source of the true power of human beings lies in the "heart" of human beings. In order to protect others, protect partners, and fight for them, the power is limitless! Human beings will become incomparably powerful when there are people who protect them. We are the saints who protect Athena, and in order to save the people on earth, we will become invincible. Even if the opponent is a god, humans can awaken miracles!

When he was training with Ikki before, Yusei had said this to him about human beings.

Ikki kept every sentence in his heart and understood it very well. But he was a more dead-end man, and he did not want to speak to Aegeon.

"It's no use talking on the battlefield, it will prove everything, come on, Aegeon!"

The lightning on Ikki's body and the "solar energy" on the holy robe, the two forces combined to make his small universe become bigger and bigger.

"Okay, what exactly is a human being? Leo, find out the answer from the battle with you!"

The small universe on the two of them continued to burn, the golden holy robes shone with golden yellow light, and the heavy-exploded carved robes shone with blue light, and Aegeon raised his sword high.

This battle can also be said to be the duel between the thunderbolt of the "Holy Sword" and the "Lightning Lion".

"...The two people's small universes are amazing!"

"Is this the battle between the 'First-Class Engraved Fighter' and the 'Legendary Saint Seiya'?"

Yuna and Soma, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but be surprised.

"Humans are stupid!"

Aegeon put the sword in his hand and said so.

"Are you going to fight with a blunt knife in the crack?"

"The crack you created with Virgo is at most just a scratch, and it's not at all disadvantageous to my sword!"

He raised his sword.

"Bend in front of my sword, ——"Break Thunder!"

Lifting it up against Ikki, it struck Ikki with a pressure equivalent to dozens of times the Earth's gravity.

Ikki immediately fell to his knees.

"Under this gravity, you can't even move! The golden lion is already a lion in a cage!"

Binding him with the power of the "Holy Sword", Aegeon thought he had won.

"Smile, do you think you want to trap the golden lion with this level of strength?"

Ikki, who still lowered his head and did not raise his head, said with a sneer.

"what!"

In an instant, a dazzling thunder light and a powerful microcosm erupted from his body again, and before he stood up, he shattered Aegeon's gravitational restraint.

"impossible!"

Ikki was released from the restraint and stood up immediately.

The spread of the small universe spreads all over here in an instant.

"I should have said that, I'm not who I was back then!"

The serious expression makes people feel his momentum and fighting spirit, it is all true.

"Okay... so strong!"

"The power of Leo, known as the 'King of Beasts', is indeed not a vain name."

Cangmo and Guangya were completely surprised by Ikki's strength as a third party, and they were definitely not protecting him. Even in the face of a "first-class engraved warrior", it is not inferior at all, and this is the strength of a "legendary saint".

"How could someone own such a small universe! I see, it seems a bit rash to say that all humans are weak! But... that's it!"

Aegeon raised his sword, and the lightning from the sky struck his sword.

(Brother seems to have spare energy!)

Shun stood aside and thought, although Ikki didn't say anything, he knew that the battle between the two of them would not allow others to intervene. The reason why he is here may be that he is still worried about Ikki. If he has an emergency, even if he violates his brother's request, he will also intervene in the battle.

"Take it, the thunder and lightning that can tear apart the sky - 'Heavy Explosive Thunder Chopping Blade'!"

He swung out the sword with his right hand, and a blue lightning bolt came from the sword at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

The corner of Ikki's mouth was a smile, he raised his left hand, and caught the lightning from the front of his palm.

"what!?"

Not even a single step was shaken, and the ground was destroyed by lightning, but Ikki looked relaxed and didn't have any uncomfortable expressions.

"Impossible, it's so easy to block the thunder and lightning of the "Re-explosive Thunder Blade"!?"

His always confident expression was filled with a look of surprise, and he acted so easily. Not to mention retreating, Ikki took the lightning and walked forward step by step.

"You haven't forgotten, right? I'm not a phoenix, but a lion of lightning. Do you think this level of lightning will be useful to me?"

To master the attribute of "Thunder", one must experience its power. During the month of Yusei's training, Ikki was hit by Yusei's "Thunder" many times, and he was on the verge of death dozens of times.

That month was even more difficult than the six years he went to "Dead Queen's Island" when he was young, and Ikki came out of **** twice.

It took one month to pass the test of Yuxing and became the golden saint of Leo. His ability to fight against "Thunderbolt" is unmatched by any Saint Seiya.

Instant can be blocked, but that requires the protection of the small universe. Like Ikki, he thought he couldn't resist the power of Agaion's "Holy Sword" with only his hands.

To resist "thunder", one must learn "thunder" and become one with one's own body through practice. Ikki is the only one among the Saints who has two attributes. So even for a short period of time, his strength was changed by another person.

"It's great to be able to endure and move forward with the lightning of the [Heavy Thunder Chopping Blade]. However, the Holy Cloth...and the human body has its limits..."

"That is wrong, Aegion!"

Before he could finish, Ikki interrupted him. He probably knew what Echaon was going to say.

"Human beings do have a 'limit'. However, people can easily surpass it. It does not require any special power, but it is the living being that must live in the world whenever people can protect important people. The strongest power that anyone should have. Its name——『Courage』”

"..."

Not only Aegeon, but even Shun and Guangya have been watching him.

"If the strength of the 'missing' is the microcosm, there is no limit to people's longing. There is no impossibility for the Saint Seiya living in the microcosm, and now it is the microcosm living in the body. 』All surpassed!」

"However, no matter how powerful a Saint Seiya is, he is still a human after all, and he will shed bright red blood when he is injured. Saint Seiya is not an omnipotent superman, and he will lose his life. The stronger the enemy, the more likely he will die from wounds. Even so, do you think you can surpass our Four Heavenly Kings?”

Ikki stopped, but Agaon's words didn't shock him, because he had already acquired something more precious.

"If death meant defeat, no one would choose from the beginning. In those days when we were young, we dreamed of success tomorrow, and only this dream can't be taken away by anyone!"

He clenched his right hand, and a golden thunder light flashed in his fist.

"Egaon, I will defeat you!"

With a strong fighting spirit, Xiao Cosmos was burned, and he punched out with all his strength.

"Lightning Bolt! (Lightning Shock

The two thunderbolts collided with each other, and the golden thunder light released from Ikki's right fist confronted the thunderbolt on Aegeon's holy sword.

After a few seconds, the thunder and lightning on both sides were bounced off and disappeared.

The fact that the fists unleashed by humans were comparable to the power of the "Holy Sword" was a real shock to Agaion.

"Excellent, Ikki of Leo!"

Aegeon raised his sword again, and this time his fighting spirit was ignited.

"As a tribute to your strength, I will use my strongest thunderbolt to destroy the lion of thunder light!"

Hearing this, Ikki knew that his "sword" had not yet released its maximum power.

"Come on, Aegion!"

He was about to use all his strength against him, and Ikki did the same. He concentrated all the power in his body, and then used the method Yuxing taught him to perfectly control the small universe, let it cooperate with his own thunder and lightning, and then burst out.

This is a very difficult technique, almost no one can do it, and it is generally repelling. Ikki has overcome this weakness after hearing Yusei's advice. No, it was the trick to teach him how to use it.

Therefore, he gains more power. Such a "Thunderbolt" was too huge for a human, and was even very close to the level of a "Thunder God".

He raised the sword high, and the thunder and lightning struck down. The amazing power was completely incomparable to the previous one.

Ikki's body also released stronger thunderbolts, which continued to rise without limit.

Aegeon struck the strongest blow with all his strength, and the sword fell.

"—Heavy Explosive Thunder Chopping Blade!"

A huge thunderbolt far more powerful than before struck Ikki.

"—Drinking ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Without dodging, and without any resistance, he used his entire body to take the most powerful blow of the [Holy Sword].

However, that's not just being hit. Instead, he confronted him with his own thunderbolt. The thunder and lightning of the blue and the gold confronted each other, intertwined with each other, and everything around them was gradually destroyed.

"Uhhhhhhh-"

"impressive!"

The three Guangya three who saw them fighting were all affected. The problem is that the "power" is too powerful to surprise them.

Ikki struggled to resist, but even so, he couldn't perfectly defend against everything. The cloak behind was shattered and disappeared, but his people were able to support it. Now, he is undoubtedly resisting with the greatest strength.

This is the result of "practice".

Then, the thunderbolts on both sides canceled each other out as before, and then disappeared.

Ikki's hood was knocked off, and he dragged the floor three steps back, smoking all over his body.

However, he perfectly took over the power of the Holy Sword, the "Thunderbolt Slicing Blade".

"Humph!"

A sneer appeared on Ikki's face.

"No... Impossible! How could such a thing happen? My [Holy Sword]... received the biggest blow from the [Heavy Thunder Slashing Blade]... and nothing happened!?"

Only at this time did Aegeon understand the emotions of "shock" and "fear".

"This sword used by the gods in the age of mythology can be completely blocked by humans without causing any damage!?"

Unable to believe this fact, Aegeon was hit quite hard.

"I'm so powerless. After the first battle with you, I've been training in real combat, and I've endured more severe training than **** by the Pope's side, and you who have been hiding somewhere to live comfortably think I can Can you compare to me?"

Ikki, who was able to survive Yuxing's thunder and lightning, already had an incomparably strong body. Those practices are all for this moment.

(The power of the holy sword is indeed very powerful. But it is not a threat to us now, because compared with the experience of Yuxing fighting, the power of the "holy sword" is no longer effective.)

Seeing Ikki gaining the upper hand, Shun showed a happy expression.

"Aegeon, with your strength... you can't beat me."

"Impossible, how could the Four Heavenly Kings lose to humans, how could such a thing happen!"

"You seem to be very interested in humans, but all you see is their surface, and you don't have a deep understanding of their true 'essence' and potential!"

Before that, even though Ikki believed in the power of human beings, he didn't understand for a moment like this.

"What did you say? Then I ask you, what is a human being? What is it?"

Aegeon soon regained his composure, and asked him back for his words.

"Humans are just like gods, and it's not like the answer can be answered in just a few words. However, I have my own views on humans! Let me tell you, humans... are 'weak' things. Although they are born like gods It looks like a god, but its power is only a little bit as strong as that of a god! However, I have found the truth. When there is something to believe in and something to protect, human beings... have things that God does not have! Human beings have infinite possibilities. That's a 'miracle'!"

"You mean 'miracle'!?"

"If you don't understand, don't think of yourself as an existence that is superior to humans or even close to God!"

"That's what you think of humans?"

"What I'm talking about is just one of them. Human beings entrust themselves to God's existence. But sometimes, people's will will surpass God's confusion, and they can even embark on a journey by themselves. That is a test given by God. Therefore, we will never lose no matter what enemy we face.”

In thought, Ikki was already far ahead of Aegeon.

"Can you understand this level of human beings?"

Aegeon knew his character, did he really understand? Ask like this.

"That's why I believe, because it's the world that the people I love want to protect, the peace that they want to protect, and that's the justice that the people I love carry through, more than anything else. That's the only thing for me. It's true. I believe in the "heart of justice" of people who love peace. I swore to Athena... to protect the peace on earth... It is our destiny to protect all human beings on earth! Justice is something that cannot be doubted, Protect and fight, that is the mission of the Saint Seiya!"

Ikki said something that he didn't know at all, and he would never say something like this before, which made him feel a little ridiculous.

"Is this what you believe in 'justice' - 'peace'?"

"That's right!"

"Hmph, now I can understand a little bit, what exactly is a 'human'?"

Aegeon smiled and closed his eyes.

"Oh?"

"But, I won't back down like this! As the Four Heavenly Kings, I'll bet my life to defeat you..."

Now, he has recognized Ikki as a real formidable enemy.

Resisting the holy sword, the "Thunderbolt Blade", Ikki fully showed the results of his training.

"Then go on, Aegon!"

Ikki said with a provocative tone.

"...Ikki of Leo!"

Aegeon's face was obviously shaken, after all, the full blow of his "Holy Sword" was ineffective.

(My elder brother has already gained an overwhelming advantage, but in just one month, he has grown to this point? What kind of practice did he do?)

For Ikki's amazing evolution, Shun looked at him with incredible eyes. Originally, such growth could not have been achieved in a short period of time.

Bare teeth they are the same.

"It's me this time, Aegon, the 'Holy Sword' you hold, I'm going to smash it!"

Ikki said shocking words.

"What? Take my 'Holy Sword'? Are you serious? Leo!"

Aegeon laughed at him.

"Even if you can resist my thunder and lightning, don't think you can destroy this 'Thunderbolt Chopping Blade'."

"Nothing is impossible for a Saint Seiya. No, it's just because it's a 'human' that it can be crushed!"

"That's an interesting statement, but that kind of thing is impossible! Destruction of the "Holy Sword" is only possible if a "miracle" happens!"

"The so-called 'miracle' is always by the side of 'people'. If you ask why... miracles are not caused by 'God', but by the soul of a 'man of courage' whose owner will never be crushed of!"

For a moment, Koya felt that Ikki had heard what Ikki said before, and his expression suddenly changed.

(That's what the teacher said!)

He also understood at once.

In front of them, Ikki had just finished his words when his figure disappeared in front of their eyes.

"..."

Aegeon lost sight of it, and his face changed greatly.

"what!"

This is the speed of movement faster than the speed of light, and Ikki came to him in front of him and threw a punch.

"—Come on!"

This sentence is completely superfluous, and it was only thanks to Aegeon that he reacted, and he fought back with his sword in an instant.

This situation was the same as when they fought for the first time, Ikki used his fist and Agaion slashed with the "Holy Sword", and at that time Ikki was seriously injured, but Agaion's sword was damaged.

The difference is that this time Aegeon is doing his best and has no spare energy.

With a "bang", blue and golden thunder and lightning intertwined, and the surroundings shook for a while, and the two jumped backwards from each other this time. There was nothing wrong with Ikki's hand, and the holy robe was intact. Instead, Achaion's sword was broken for the third time.

"Wh...what! A new scar appeared on the [Holy Sword]!?"

"I won this time, Aegeon!"

Having finally avenged his last revenge, Ikki looked excited.

"It's not just resurrection, this man has become stronger!"

Holding the sword in front of him with both hands, Aegeon looked serious, and he probably didn't even think about being forced to this point.

"When we were all teenagers, what kind of people did we want to be? We only embraced the small universe in our hearts, with the determination that no matter what kind of enemy we faced, we would not be defeated. While creating miracles countless times, we were not afraid of injury. Pain, I swear to win. And now, it is time to prove that 'miracles' are caused by human hands.”

The huge little universe suddenly appeared, how exciting, burning hot, but extremely gentle.

(This is the little universe hidden by my brother, and it is also the real attitude of my brother!)

Shun looked at it and was very sure that Ikki had the same thing as them, that he was not a wolf fighting alone. No, it should be said that all human beings have a "gentle heart".

"Even if I am torn apart and my limbs are broken, I will continue to fight, as long as this life exists!"

The little universe that became even hotter, Ikki radiated a strong golden light. That is a powerful force far surpassing that of the Golden Saint Seiya.

"Let me show you, the ultimate mystery of Leo LEO!"

He suddenly stood up straight and raised his hands slightly.

"The brilliance of that small universe...is it?"

Seeing the light on his body, Guangya realized something, his eyes widened and he shouted in surprise.

"It's 'Ω'..."

"Omega's scales!"

There is no doubt that the power displayed in the battle of the Zodiac, the difference is that Ikki is the power to awaken alone and fully control it.

This approach can exert more power than Guangya and the others together.

"It's only been a month, and it's reached this point!? This is the potential of the big brother..."

Shun was surprised by Ikki's fighting talent, it took them years to get to that door.

Yusei didn't have the "power of time" at that time, so he couldn't use forced methods, and "regeneration" could not be used casually because of the pain in the mind. And even if it can be used, that kind of cultivation method is too inhuman.

If it wasn't for the jihad approaching, Yusei would not have used such a method against Ikki. It really tortured him to death at that time, which is a fact that happened.

"Lightning Crown! (Lion's Scythe

Not from the hand, but from the whole body, a huge machete beam that severed everything, hit the sword of the "Heavy Thunder Chopping Blade".

Not even a second had passed, the sword body could not resist its power at all, and the [Holy Sword] was shattered and vanished.

"No...Impossible! I can't believe that the Thunder Chopping Blade was broken by...the holy sword bestowed by my God...!?"

However, before he finished speaking, blood suddenly burst out of his chest.

Facing this power, even the sword could not completely resist Aegeon, and a crack was cut in the carving on his chest.

"Uhhhhhhh-"

He also vomited blood.

The attack range is huge, and the surrounding buildings are cut open in an instant. The entire huge body of Agaon was knocked back and crashed into the wall behind.

The earth was shaking with such an impact, and the King of Beasts not only caused damage to the "Holy Sword" due to its powerful power, but even the "Heavy Explosion Carved Clothes", which was said to rival the three golden sacred clothes, was also cut open.

The golden lion completely bites and devours the enemy.
