Hawk's voice was faint.
But the Death Angel, already controlled by the Phantom Demon Imperial Fist, was like a machine, activating its button.
The next moment.
Violent energy erupted from the Death Angel's body. A brilliant beam of energy instantly shot out from the Death Angel's crown, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye. After passing through the atmosphere, it surged into the cosmic space outside the atmosphere like a ray.
At the same time.
The Death Angel's expression became extremely ferocious, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
It was evident that he was in great pain.
Suddenly.
A tearing sound came from behind the Death Angel, followed by a tuft of black, fluffy material seemingly tearing through and emerging from the position of his shoulder blades.
The tearing sound grew louder and louder.
The Death Angel's trembling also grew more severe. His entire body instinctively squatted on the ground, curling up.
But the bloody black wings on his back were also gradually growing larger and spreading out.
Until—
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
As a pair of black wings unfurled and appeared behind him, under the Impact of immense energy and pain, the Death Angel regained his consciousness.
He revealed a fierce glint in his eyes.
His expression was ferocious.
Then!
He died.
"Lightspeed Fist, Five Senses Deprivation!"
"Boom!"
The Death Angel, directly hit, instantly sank into a World of boundless void and darkness the moment he awakened and regained consciousness.
The next moment.
Hawk, who had been sitting cross-legged, appeared. As the Gemini Cloth faded into nothingness, Hawk looked up and soared into the sky.
The Shadow of the Black Phoenix emerged.
The black phoenix underworld armor, enveloped in black Fire, covered Hawk's entire body.
As the final faceplate disappeared, the pair of Black Phoenix wings behind Hawk danced, instantly piercing through the atmosphere. Standing on the blue Planet beneath his feet, Hawk, with black light surging in his eyes, expressionlessly watched the turbulent space from which some colossal entity seemed to be emerging.
Soon.
Hawk smelled that familiar yet extremely repulsive scent.
The scent of Heaven.
The moment a corner of the Heaven Dimension folded out of space, it seemed to sense something, and the Dimension, which was about to emerge, suddenly stopped moving.
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Did it realize something was wrong?"
"Too late!"
"Phoenix Wings Soaring!"
Hawk's first move was his strongest killing technique. His fist struck out, and a vast, brilliant Black Phoenix, seemingly obscuring the entire Universe and galaxy, projected itself, vibrating its body and spreading its wings.
Then—
Phoenix eyes, also filled with boundless blackness, looked towards the Heaven Dimension that was attempting to withdraw its teleportation. With a phoenix cry, it violently struck a corner of the Heaven Dimension.
Boom—
Like a meteor striking Earth, in the blink of an eye, violent tremors appeared on the surface of the Heaven Dimension. Immediately after, a powerful Impact emerged, rippling outwards rapidly.
And at the center of that Impact, with a tearing sound.
A crack was torn open on the surface of the Heaven Dimension.
Hawk did not hesitate. The phoenix wings behind him moved slightly, and he directly entered the Heaven Dimension through this torn opening.
This is called—
Defending the country outside its borders.
The most important point.
He said God takes turns, and today it's his turn. If he doesn't seize the Heaven Dimension, what kind of God would he be?
"Jehovah!"
"Come out and die!"
Hawk roared, looking at the World within the Dimension, a picturesque paradise, home to countless Heaven Dimension creatures. His Little Universe burned continuously, and he pointed his right index finger downwards.
"Lightspeed Fist!"
"Boom, boom, boom—!!!"
Based on the basic attack technique exclusive to Gold Saints after awakening the Seventh Sense, he could instantly unleash hundreds of millions of Lightspeed Fists with his fingers or fists.
In just an instant, every corner of the Heaven Dimension seemed to be subjected to Hawk's indiscriminate bombardment, where each punch, if unleashed on Earth, could destroy any mountain.
A pure golden light, sweeping across the Heaven Dimension, transformed into countless meteors, weaving into a laser net like something from Resident Evil, impossible to evade in any form. The moment Hawk's voice had not yet fallen, it slammed onto the surface of the Heaven Dimension.
The ground was the first to let out a groan of unbearable strain.
The pure land, once flowing with milk and honey, paved with glaze and jewels, under Hawk's indiscriminate bombardment of Lightspeed Fists, was like a lake into which stones had been thrown.
No.
When a stone is thrown into a lake, ripples are still produced.
This was billions of pebbles dropping simultaneously!
A black spider web covering the entire surface instantly appeared. The ground, sturdier than fine steel, was instantly drilled through, overturned, and pulverized!
The towering mountains on the surface instantly turned to dust!
The rivers on the surface instantly evaporated, leaving only dry, twisted riverbeds. But even the riverbeds did not last long, their traces disappearing in a blink of an eye.
The buildings on the surface also met with utter disaster!
Those magnificent halls on the Heaven's surface, with spires and arches reaching into the clouds, carved with ancient hymns, and the pure White buildings symbolizing Eternity and continuity, first developed countless tiny golden cracks on their surfaces.
The next moment!
A huge explosion occurred, and countless buildings disintegrated and collapsed from the inside out!
Glazed tiles and white jade stones were no longer fragments but turned into dust and powder filling the sky. Under the onslaught of the golden meteor torrent, the buildings on the surface visibly turned into dust and then disappeared.
Similarly.
Countless creatures living in the Heaven Dimension also met their doom under Hawk's fists.
As is well known.
Angels have ranks.
Those creatures living in the Heaven Dimension, without even wings, could only be called Heaven beings, not even Angels.
Almost simultaneously with the ground cracking and buildings being destroyed, these Heaven beings were vaporized on the spot the moment their eyes caught Hawk's Lightspeed Fist, without any time to react.
Their souls instantly entered Hawk's Underworld.
As for those low-level Angels with only two wings, their fate was essentially no different from that of the Heaven beings.
At most, they reacted. Driven by instinct, their left arm blocked, summoning a holy shield, and their right hand drew a long sword burning with holy flame.
Then—
There was no then.
Their light shields burst like soap bubbles upon contact, and the key burning with holy flame was instantly vaporized within a ten-thousandth of a second.
Similarly.
The bodies of these low-level Angels, under Hawk's carpet-bombing Lightspeed Fists, had their armor twisted and shattered, and their bodies exploded into a sky full of scattered feathers of light.
As for those intermediate Angels with four wings.
Again.
Ridiculous.
Only those high-level Angels with Six-Winged Angels, also known as Archangels, could react the moment Hawk launched his attack. They gathered in front of a sacred building in the Holy City, completely surrounded it, then unfurled their shields to withstand the bombardment of Hawk's Lightspeed Fist.
But besides that, they could do nothing.
Heaven's surface was collapsing.
Heaven's beings were being annihilated.
And these Six-Winged Angels could only watch all of this unfold.
After Hawk's first wave of attacks ended, Heaven's surface was so broken that the entire ground looked as if it had been plowed.
The surface was turned over, and dirt flew.
As for the buildings and the beings that once lived in the Heaven Dimension, they had long since merged with the flying dirt, indistinguishable from each other.
At this moment, in the Heaven Dimension, only that last sacred palace and the hundreds of Six-Winged Angels surrounding the sacred palace on all sides had survived.
"Oh my!"
"Not bad."
"So many are still alive."
"Boom!"
Hawk's extremely cold voice echoed throughout the Heaven Dimension. Immediately after, space shattered, and Hawk, clad in the black phoenix underworld armor, appeared in mid-air. A hint of playfulness flashed in his ice-cold eyes, which were filled with black light, as he looked at the sacred palace protected by hundreds of Six-Winged Angels, and spoke again.
His voice was loud, like thunder, making the eardrums of the Six-Winged Angels guarding their holy palace tremble as if they were about to burst.
"Jehovah!"
"Get out here!!!"
"Boom!"
The sacred palace surged, accompanied by a powerful aura. Immediately after, an Angel, radiating milky white light, with eight wings behind him, and an expression as ugly as if his mother had died, ascended to the same height as Hawk, surrounded by hundreds of Six-Winged Angels.
Hawk looked at this eight-winged Angel who had emerged, raising an eyebrow.
Is this Jehovah?
No, it can't be.
"Jehovah?"
"My name is—"
The eight-winged Angel, whose expression was as if his mother had died, took in the shattered Heaven Dimension, then his cold eyes looked at Hawk, pointing the sword of protection in his hand directly at Hawk: "Gabriel, sinner, you will pay the price for your actions."
Gabriel?
The Archangel who guards Heaven and blows the horn of the Last Judgment.
Hawk listened to the eight-winged Angel Gabriel's self-introduction, his thoughts turning. After his Seventh Sense swept across the entire Heaven Dimension, his expression became a little strange.
"Where is Jehovah?"
Yes.
Jehovah was gone.
He had just swept his Seventh Sense across the entire Heaven Dimension, thinking that the powerful aura in the sacred palace belonged to Jehovah.
Unexpectedly, it was Archangel Gabriel's.
But if this aura belonged to Gabriel, then where was Jehovah?
Under his full-power Lightspeed Fist, which he had not held back and, if unleashed outside, would have been enough to destroy Planets, every corner of the Heaven Dimension had been taken care of.
Now, apart from these hundreds of Six-Winged Angels and the legendary Archangel Gabriel, there were no other signs of life.
After all—
Saint Seiya are born for War.
Gold Saints are the War Machine among War Machines.
Area-of-effect attacks?
In the eyes of a Gold Saint who can unleash billions of punches in a second, an area-of-effect attack is still him against a group of people.
But that's not the point.
The point is—
"Where did Jehovah go?"
"Hmph!"
Archangel Gabriel let out a cold snort with a gloomy look in his eyes. The sword of protection in his hand, as if blowing a horn, led hundreds of Six-Winged Angels to point at Hawk.
"Sinner!"
"Face judgment!"
