Saint Seiya: Heretic Athena?

Seiya's words seemed to be the catalyst. Among the assembled gods, some frowned, some smiled, some played their harps, some drew their swords, some raised their bows, some called forth thunder and lightning, some shone with brilliant light, and others simply watched with cold indifference.

"I never thought something so absurd would happen. A mere human actually dares to raise his fist to the gods." The first to speak was Apollo. Between heaven and earth, all humans and gods could feel the sharp aura emanating from the god of light. The light in the sky grew more scorching, and the sun behind him seemed to form a halo exclusively for Him.

The arrogance emanating from Him was plain to see. He said no more, merely glancing at the other man beside him who was also shining with brilliant light. This true sun god chuckled softly. He raised his hand, and the sky was plunged into darkness.

Sixty kilometers above the ground, in orbit, what blocked the light was a magnificent chariot. This Authority, which had an origin similar to the White Horse, issued a death threat to the Saint from across the heavens and the earth.

And the one who wielded this Authority was the father of the sun and the dawn, the Titan pillar of the East, the god who patrols the heavens, Hyperion.

"You really are unlucky. Curse your unfortunate fate," Hyperion declared. The chariot, with a root similar to the White Horse, charged with magnificent momentum towards the rude person who had defied the gods.

But what was born in the next moment was a star rising from the ground.

A scorching light swallowed the sky and the earth. The sun was obliterated, the chariot and horses were shattered. The wails of the horses and the god echoed throughout the world. Before the light had even dissipated, the Saint, his entire body radiating a platinum brilliance, could already be seen with his hand piercing through Hyperion's chest.

This human from the earth held up the god from the sky. Apollo's eyes were wide with fury, because He realized his opponent wanted him to listen to Hyperion's screams.

With just this single blow, he had precisely shattered the divine core that sustained the existence of this Titan of the East. From beginning to end, Seiya's gaze had not been on him. He looked far away, at Apollo high above, and in His gaze filled with chilling cold, he crushed the suffering Hyperion to pieces.

The platinum wave of energy blew back Seiya's hair. His bright eyes were sharp. "To be able to meet you here ahead of schedule, I actually feel super lucky. To trample on the pride of you evil gods, and to finally print my fist on that arrogant face of yours, Apollo—Burn, my Cosmo!"

An imposing aura surged in reverse, covering the high heavens and blanketing the four corners of the land. The Greek gods were enraged. They would no longer allow such an arrogant human to continue living!

Several divine powers bore down on the space where the Saint had originally been, but they quickly discovered that his figure had vanished. Soon, they sensed that magnificent aura from the direction of Tokyo Bay. The Saint was making no effort to hide, but was calling for the gods to come to him.

"Hey! Apollo, this sister isn't one to stir up trouble, but when someone talks to me like that, this sister just can't take it," the goddess of discord, Eris, whispered, sidling up to Apollo with a treacherous face, feigning intimacy.

"Yeah, yeah! Isn't this just a slap in the face to your Greek mythology?" Loki chimed in with the tone of a good brother, looking heartbroken.

"No way, there's no way a god would be mocked like this and do nothing! Right? Right?" Nezha stared at him with wide eyes.

Apollo looked coldly at the three before him. He really didn't want to bother with these trashy troublemakers. The most important thing now was the Pegasus. The human who defied the gods should be dealt with. The Saint who raised his fist to the gods should be cast down into the Underworld even more so.

"I am Thor, god of thunder! For the glory of Asgard!" The first to make a move was the avatar of the Norse god, Thor. He was furious. He advanced at the speed of lightning, a deafening roar echoing around him. Lightning shot towards the distant Tokyo Bay.

"Brother Thor is a true god!" Nezha gave a thumbs-up, and the two gods behind him also praised him.

Thunder and brilliance clashed in Tokyo Bay, stirring up giant waves that would reach the metropolis of Tokyo after some time.

The speed of both sides rapidly increased, but Thor soon realized that his opponent was intentionally meeting his Mjölnir head-on because he didn't want to cause large-scale human casualties.

The Saint and the God of Thunder, Thor. A divine artifact and a fist of flesh. God and man, face to face, at arm's length.

"What a righteous warrior. But I will not show mercy. O hammer Mjölnir! Release your light!" he declared the spell with high-speed divine words. When he swung Mjölnir again, he found that his opponent had actually caught the body of the hammer with one hand.

As the master of Mjölnir, He could naturally feel the wail of his beloved war hammer. Could a human really crush a divine artifact with their bare hands?

"Are you done talking? Let me say something too—" The Saint smiled with malice and uttered the five most familiar words, "—Pegasus Comet Fist!!!"

Mjölnir let out a final wail and was actually forced by the Saint's power to shatter into fragments and dissipate. Thor had no time to mourn his beloved hammer, because the remaining force, even after shattering Mjölnir, still slammed into His chest.

Suddenly, space shifted, and the damage was dissipated. This allowed Thor to seize a chance at life, transforming into lightning and rapidly pulling away.

It was Hermes and the goddess of discord working together, unleashing their Authorities. At this moment, all the gods descended, including the goddess of beauty who had been knocked into the Imperial Palace by Seiya. At this moment, They too realized the terror of the Saint before them and knew they had to join forces against him.

Seiya had no objections and once again beckoned for Them to bring it on.

In the next instant, darkness covered his vision. This was the Authority of Leto, the goddess of the dark night and oblivion. An invisible veil enveloped Seiya, obscuring not only his vision, but also his senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and even thought, making him unable to perceive the existence of his own body.

"He has lost his five senses!" Leto shouted, but the god of war, Ares, was already closing in on Seiya faster than her shout, thrusting his spear to lock onto Seiya's throat.

—BOOM!!!

A platinum brilliance covered the god of war, Ares. The Boar Rushing Fist slammed into His face.

This combat technique, though its name was not elegant, was wrapped in the concept of destruction. The divine war helmet belonging to Ares was completely unable to block it, and his entire head was pulverized along with it. But it wasn't over. Seiya, having lost all his senses, precisely grabbed his headless body, and then a golden light surged. The Holy Sword Drawing completely cut Him in two.

The most valiant Ares had exited the stage in the most pathetic way possible, all thanks to Leto. But she soon discovered with surprise that the condensed platinum brilliance was already flying towards her—

—The Holy Sword Drawing, the Sword of Victory! Could this ultimate technique that combined an Authority and a combat skill kill Leto? Of course it could! The brilliance was like a bolt of silk, nimbly and sharply cutting the goddess, splitting her in two from top to bottom.

A look of astonishment still lingered on the lips of each half. Only at the moment her divine core shattered did she realize she had exited the stage.

"Apollo, he killed your mom!" Nezha cried, heartbroken.

"Apollo, your mom got killed!" Loki wailed.
