Chapter 455: Chapter 455
Albafica: That disgusting bug… it's actually in our world!
Degel: In the Antarctic, huh? Should I go check it out?
Sage: No. This creature is extremely dangerous. It can manipulate space and time. Let Defteros and Shion handle it.
Defteros: Me, huh? Fine, I'll go have a look.
Saint Seiya LC Universe — Sanctuary
Once the Pope finalized his decision, Shion teleported with Defteros and Degel to the Antarctic.
Hades' Castle
"Lord Hades, should we take action?"
Rhadamanthys asked respectfully.
"No. Just watch for now."
Alone shook his head, his gaze calm as he watched the screen.
"A creature that manipulates time and space and messes with cognition… it can scare humans, but that's about it."
Thanatos scoffed with a smirk.
Hypnos didn't even bother to comment.
Seeing that Alone wasn't planning to act, the Specters all stayed put obediently.
Well… except for one.
Yoma, in his own dimension, grinned as he watched the broadcast.
"A monster that can control time and space? Let's see what you're made of. If you're interesting enough, maybe you'll make a fine pet."
Meanwhile, Shion, Defteros, and Degel arrived at the Antarctic, still a fair distance from the Antarctic Bug.
"Want me to teleport us in?"
Shion offered.
"No need. Let's test it from a distance first."
Defteros shook his head, then unleashed an intense, blazing Cosmo.
Power gathered in his hands, immense enough to crush entire galaxies into a single mass—an enormous star cluster!
"Galaxian Explosion!"
Defteros unleashed the fully compressed Cosmo in a massive burst of light, a blazing comet shooting straight toward the Antarctic Bug!
"BOOOOOM!!!"
The devastating Galaxian Explosion erupted upon impact, unleashing a colossal explosion.
The destructive energy and blinding brilliance illuminated half the Antarctic!
"So powerful! That's Defteros for you!"
Shion squinted, raising his hands to shield himself from the shockwave, utterly amazed by the destructive power of the Galaxian Explosion.
Defteros, however, simply stood calmly, watching the devastation unfold, a deep frown on his face. Something didn't feel right.
"Strange… I'm sensing other Cosmos… Is it just my imagination?"
While Defteros pondered, the blast subsided, and the scene before them left both Saints in shock.
The once ice-covered Antarctic was now a flat wasteland.
This was with Defteros intentionally holding back—had he gone all out, the entire continent would have been obliterated.
And yet…
Amidst such terrifying destruction, the Antarctic Bug remained exactly where it had been, completely unscathed!
"What?! I hit it dead-on!"
Defteros shouted in disbelief.
No one understood better than him the sheer destructive power of the Galaxian Explosion—it could obliterate entire galaxies!
How could that monster have survived unscathed?!
Unwilling to accept it, Defteros leapt into the sky for a better look.
The landscape around the Antarctic Bug was completely flattened—everything obliterated—except the creature itself, and the patch of land it occupied.
"Could it have used its space-time powers to dodge at the last second?"
Defteros couldn't help but wonder.
"In that case, let's see whose space manipulation is stronger!"
With that, Defteros ignited his Cosmo once more.
"Alternate Dimension!"
The world around the Antarctic Bug twisted and transformed, shifting into a strange realm filled with infinite grids and swirling voids—a bizarre, kaleidoscopic dimension.
Defteros had dragged the Antarctic Bug into a world far removed from reality—a dimension of his own creation!
"So this is Defteros' Alternate Dimension…"
Shion had never seen this technique in action before and looked around in curiosity.
"Careful, Shion. Don't get lost in the dimension."
Defteros warned him, then focused on the Antarctic Bug.
"Here, I can unleash the full power of my Galaxian Explosion!"
As he spoke, his Cosmo burned brighter than ever, surging toward the Eighth Sense.
At that moment, Defteros' aura became even more overwhelming, his energy terrifyingly intense.
"Galaxian Explosion!"
He fired the technique once again—this time far stronger and faster than before!
The entire Alternate Dimension trembled under the destructive force of the Galaxian Explosion, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Incredible! So this is Defteros' true power… Under such might, that monster can't possibly survive!"
Shion hastily erected a Crystal Wall to shield himself, stunned by the sheer destructive force of the Galaxian Explosion.
The Specters watched this scene with dark expressions.
Even the three Judges looked uneasy.
"This Gemini Saint is formidable… He didn't show his full strength before!"
Aiakos gritted his teeth.
"If we ever face him, we'll need to end it quickly,"
Minos muttered, inwardly unsettled, unable to imagine what would happen if he got hit by such an attack.
"Hmph. No matter how strong he is, I won't back down!"
Rhadamanthys snorted defiantly, fired up by Defteros' display of power.
Inside the dimension, the bombardment finally ceased. Under such devastating force, a planet would have been annihilated.
And yet, impossibly…
The Antarctic Bug was still alive.
"This is… impossible…"
Defteros' face twisted in disbelief as he stared at the creature.
No matter how hard he looked, the Antarctic Bug was alive—and not just alive, but seemingly completely unharmed!
"What kind of monster is this…? How can it survive a direct hit from Defteros' attack without a scratch?!"
Shion, drenched in cold sweat, couldn't stop his eyes from trembling in disbelief.
Just what was this creature? How could it be so powerful?
While Shion struggled to comprehend, the space around them abruptly shifted back to the Antarctic. Defteros was suddenly standing beside him.
"Huh? We're back?"
Shion asked, confused.
"Yeah. If I can't kill it, I figured I'd just leave it in the dimension… But it seems that's not going to work either."
Defteros replied with a wry smile, a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
Shion's gaze shifted forward, and his eyes widened in shock.
The Antarctic Bug was still there—completely unchanged.
"What?! Didn't you toss it into the Alternate Dimension?!"
Shion cried out in disbelief.
"I have no idea. All I know is, this thing… isn't something we can handle with normal methods."
