"How is this possible... he actually blocked the Zodiac Clamation! You know, this is a move that combines the strongest 12 Gold Saints."
Everyone looked at the scene before them in disbelief. Such a terrifying and extreme move was actually blocked!
Strictly speaking, Scorpio had already killed Radamanthys, but Hades' divine blood saved him! But... is the amplification of this divine blood so great?!
He endured two super-standard moves in a row and was fine. Radamanthys must have activated a health lock cheat. Dohko, who also received divine blood, didn't get such a significant power boost.
On the other hand, Regulus's body couldn't bear it and collapsed first.
"No matter how strong Regulus is, he's still just a 15-year-old boy. His body has reached its limit!"
Everyone sighed at the sight. His body hadn't developed to its peak, so he couldn't withstand such terrifying power output. Not only did he fail to kill Radamanthys, but he was the first to collapse.
Such a talented young man dying before adulthood would definitely be a great regret for the Sanctuary!
.....
〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
In the Sanctuary, Regulus, seeing this scene, could no longer control himself and angrily punched the ground, shattering it:
"I've thought about it thousands of times in my mind, but I still can't avenge my father..."
The newly learned Athena Exclamation was useless, and even the fusion of the twelve Gold Saints' moves had no effect!
"My enemy is right in front of me, but I can't do anything!!"
Sisyphus let out an almost inaudible sigh, reaching out to pat the latter's shoulder:
"Regulus, cheer up!"
Even so, Sisyphus was actually a little unwilling in his heart. Was Radamanthys, empowered by divine blood, truly unbeatable?!
Regulus's genius performance, he almost forgot, he was still just a fifteen-year-old boy. His body couldn't keep up with his techniques! Instead, it collapsed first.
Albafica, who was nearby, saw the truth:
"Although Leo can learn moves at a glance, he can't unleash the full power of all moves."
Each Gold Saint's move is mastered through countless hours of rigorous practice, and while Regulus could learn them, he didn't have time to practice...
Age was his biggest weakness. What he unleashed were ultimately just techniques, techniques with form but lacking the powerful Cosmo and body to support them.
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
"Hmph—!!"
Touma Kamijou gasped, never expecting it to end this way.
Regulus lost because of his body. If he had held on a little longer, he might have been able to completely finish off Radamanthys.
It's like drawing water from a pond; if the water volume suddenly surges, the pipe will be the first to burst!
In the Tokiwadai dorm, Kuroko's gaze was subtle:
"Is Hades really that idle? While they're fighting for their lives, he's actually spectating?!"
Doesn't that mean even if Regulus won against Radamanthys, this spectating Hades would end his life?!...
However, one thing is true: In Greek mythology, humans who challenged the gods rarely met good endings; their attempts always ended in failure!
.....
[ All power has been exhausted, and Regulus's consciousness returned to a void.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a figure sitting on a cliff. From that person, Regulus felt a familiar sensation: "Is that Dad sitting there?!"
As he got closer, he realized it wasn't his father, but Sagittarius Sisyphus. So he asked in confusion: "Is that Sisyphus?! What are you doing?!"
Sisyphus turned his head and looked at the young figure before him with gentle eyes: "Talking to the wind... talking to my brother... no, talking to your father."
Hearing this, Regulus's face was filled with melancholy: "Where is Dad... did he say anything?"
Then, sadness slowly crept onto Regulus's face, his voice a little choked: "I've clearly... always been searching for Dad's traces!"
He had clearly always followed his father's last instructions, meticulously observing everything around him!
"Why... can't I hear it, Dad's voice! Neither in the wind nor on the earth."
Looking at Regulus's incredibly sad face, Sisyphus's voice became even gentler: "Just let it be, because I am everywhere! That's what he said."
"One day you will understand, because that person exists not only in the wind, but also in your heart..." ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Sagittarius and Regulus are actually relatives?! No wonder when they attacked Hades' Castle, he stood by so obediently. So it was bloodline suppression!"
"A family of three loyalists. Ilias died at Radamanthys's hands, Sisyphus dug out his heart to open the gate, leaving only Regulus as the sole heir."
Everyone was a little confused as to why Regulus could still see the deceased Sisyphus at this moment, or rather, why Regulus was still alive...
Or perhaps, those who have awakened the Eighth Sense are just that powerful? Even the dead Sisyphus could still come to guide his descendant!
"But... just explain it clearly, it's already this late, don't be a riddler. He's the last remaining heir, save him!"
Everyone was practically dying of anxiety. Regulus was almost gone, and his father and uncle were still pulling this stunt.
.....
[ It was as if a light shone into Regulus's mind, and he instantly realized, a murmur slowly emerging.
"Dad has always been by my side!"
At this moment, the explosion in the Palace of Earth Demon Star continued, the immense sound thundering in their ears, lasting for a long time before finally dissipating.
On the entire battlefield, only Radamanthys remained alone, recalling the battle just now, he felt a sense of surviving a catastrophe.
Looking at the huge crater in Elysium made by the Zodiac Clamation, Radamanthys had to admit one thing: "In terms of pure power, it truly surpasses humanity!"
"Little Leo! Did you vanish completely, leaving only your Cloth behind...?"
On the cliff formed by the huge crater, Regulus was nowhere to be seen; only the Leo Cloth remained. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Even Elysium was pierced by that move, but why is Radamanthys unharmed?!"
"A move that surpasses humans, but is limited by the body. The limit of humanity can probably only reach this level..."
The Zodiac Clamation piercing Elysium already proved the value of that move, but it was as if Radamanthys had activated a health lock cheat.
Everyone sighed slightly. The imagined counter-kill didn't happen. Regulus's body had dissipated like Cancer Manigoldo's, leaving only the Gold Cloth. The scene just now felt more like a dying vision!
.....
[ Just as Radamanthys was lamenting, an unintentional glance made him freeze!
Just then, a figure slowly appeared next to the Gold Cloth. Regulus, who had previously vanished into thin air, was now sitting cross-legged on the cliff.
The scene before him made Radamanthys's eyelids twitch: "Is he still alive...?"
However, what surprised Radamanthys the most was that he couldn't feel any aura from Regulus, nor any fluctuation of his Cosmo!
Radamanthys, filled with doubt, asked Regulus: "What else do you plan to do?! You've even taken off your Gold Cloth, and you're turning your back on me, your enemy!"
Regulus didn't turn his head: "Nothing, I'm just looking at my homeland."
"In that case, say goodbye to the earth!"
In a flash, the Wyvern's fist had already slammed towards the latter's back, but before the punch's wind could even touch the latter's body, the latter had already vanished!
The next moment, he appeared behind the Wyvern like a ghost, an intense sense of crisis enveloping the latter's heart!
"What's wrong with that guy?! His entire demeanor seems to have changed!!" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"He's dead, right? Radamanthys said Regulus had no aura, and even his Cosmo couldn't be felt."
Such a miraculous scene naturally caught everyone's attention, but they also didn't understand Regulus's current state. Was he dead or alive?
If the latter was already dead, what was the Regulus appearing before Radamanthys?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Illya muttered to herself:
"Although I don't get it, do Leo and his family all have a hobby of sitting on cliffs?!"
Ilias did, Sisyphus, who just appeared, did, and now even Regulus can't escape it. Is a cliff really that attractive?
Rin Tohsaka chimed in:
"They are male lions after all, maybe they all want to stand on high ground and survey their territory?!"
Only Archer bothered to acknowledge Illya and their banter, instead pondering the current situation:
"Regulus should be in a soul state now, similar to a Heroic Spirit..."
Taking off the Cloth is very likely because he can't wear it anymore. His physical body is dead; he is just a soul now.
But, no aura, no Cosmo also means he can't attack...
