Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Using Sword Qi to Send an Electric Shock Signal... Seckill!"

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Rin Tohsaka, seeing this final scene, felt a surge of pity for Morpheus. Who would have thought that the traitor was his own boss? She felt indignant on his behalf.

Archer, always one for a good show, spoke up,

"Morpheus is probably numb. This wave of Meteor Fist is completely different from before."

After all, who would have thought that changing a skin would result in such a drastic difference in power? He lost fairly. It felt like the original Pegasus was a stand-in just now.

Shirou Emiya shook his head,

"Morpheus probably never understood why his boss helped Pegasus, even until his death."

After all, he was also a bit confused. If he were Alone, he didn't understand why he killed Pegasus before... But if he were Hades, then awakening Pegasus here didn't make sense either!

So, what was Alone's true nature now? Was it Alone himself, or was Hades in control?!

 .....

〜Jujutsu Kaisen World, Present Timeline〜

"No wonder Hypnos repeatedly sent people to deal with Pegasus. So that's it!"

Yuji suddenly realized, wishing he could praise them for their brilliant insight.

Initially, he thought Hypnos might have overestimated Pegasus, when the Gold Saints were clearly the main force... Now it seemed Hypnos's concerns were not at all unwarranted.

Now he finally understood why Asmita placed such high hopes on Pegasus, even personally investigating this generation's Pegasus. So, there was such a hidden aspect.

Nobara Kugisaki's mouth twitched slightly,

"Hades, Athena, and Pegasus, who can harmed Hades' physical body... actually reincarnated together."

She didn't believe this was a coincidence; it was too strange. And this love-hate triangle was a bit subtle.

 .....

〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜

"Pope... what exactly happened to Pegasus just now?"

Sisyphus's eyes widened instantly when he saw the dazzling God Cloth, his pupils filled with shock and disbelief.

Although he knew the legend between Pegasus and Hades, it was just a legend. He never expected such power to be hidden within Pegasus.

Even the other Gold Saints present were full of surprise, except for Asmita, who was meditating and had a slight smile on his lips.

The Pope was silent for a moment,

"I'm not entirely sure... but Pegasus might be the key to winning this Holy War."

The man who has been intertwined with Hades since the age of myths, is he going to awaken again in this era?

Sasha in the Pope's Chamber and Pegasus in the Sanctuary both felt a slight relief in their hearts. Although Pegasus didn't know what happened, he knew that Alone had helped him...

At Hades Castle.

Hypnos and Thanatos stopped their movements, their expressions slightly grim.

"That is the God Cloth, said to be the closest to a Divine Robe!"

"Indeed, Pegasus, known as the greatest sinner of the heavens, is the biggest menace... However, your subordinate Morpheus is quite brave, Hypnos."

Thanatos solemnly remarked.

"..."

Hypnos was silent because even he thought Morpheus was remarkably courageous to dare such a thing.

Only Heavenly Violent Star Kagaho, hidden in the shadows of the Specter army, became excited after seeing Pegasus with the God Cloth. Soon... soon... he would get his revenge on the heavens.

 .....

[ After defeating the enemy, the God Cloth on Pegasus also disappeared, leaving only Pegasus, who had no idea what had happened, standing dumbfounded, his eyes revealing clear stupidity.

But before he could figure out what happened, the Dream World began to collapse due to Morpheus's death, and the souls imprisoned in the gate scattered.

El Cid descended from the air. Just as he was wondering who had defeated Morpheus, he discovered Pegasus below, and a stone gate still standing in its original place.

As he landed, he casually saved Pegasus from being crushed by collapsing boulders. After a brief exchange, the two walked towards the stone gate where Sisyphus's soul was imprisoned. ]

"So it was a trial card, expiring in just a few seconds. That look... It's that silly boy Pegasus, alright."

"The importance of skins. Whether you're strong or not is one thing, but being handsome is for life. Without the skin, it feels like something's missing."

Everyone sighed as they looked at the bewildered Pegasus. His heart was truly big...

He hadn't even figured out how he escaped death, and in the blink of an eye, he was looking at El Cid with admiration.

But El Cid's entrance was truly cool. He never strayed from talking about his blade... If you talked about his severed arm, he talked about his Holy Sword. He truly lived up to his reputation as someone who practiced swordplay even in his dreams.

"But the Holy Sword is fine, but your body is still bleeding, big brother, stop the bleeding first!"

People from other worlds looked odd.

"Put down your Holy Sword now, big brother, you're still bleeding!"

However, covering his severed arm with his white robe, not showing his injury to his comrades, was truly amazing. Walking with Pegasus, he made them feel that a Gold Saint could provide a full sense of security.

 .....

[ Arriving at the gate, El Cid's Cosmo began to burn fiercely: "Even if Morpheus was defeated, your soul was not released; it is still trapped in this dream gate."

"Then I will liberate your soul, SISYPHUS OF SAGITTARIUS!!"

The golden glowing arm swung down, but this Holy Sword, capable of tearing through the Dream World, did not affect the stone gate, only making it tremble slightly.

El Cid, having lost too much blood earlier, now knelt on the ground, feeling a bit powerless: "Even this sword, which defeated the gods of dreams, cannot harm it in the slightest."

Just then, the voice of the Dream God suddenly rang out: "It's useless, because it is tightly closed by Sisyphus's own will."

As space twisted, the figure of the Dream God Oneiros appeared here....

It was then that El Cid understood that Sisyphus had never come to terms with bringing young Athena back to the Sanctuary from Pegasus's side, which was why he had been sinking into the dream.

After knowing the cause and effect, El Cid said, "Perhaps only one person can save Sisyphus's soul."

The next second, a brilliant golden sword energy rushed directly towards the barrier of the Dream World, stirring up a ripple before being swallowed by the void.

Oneiros immediately scoffed, "It seems you're too fatigued to aim at your target anymore?"

Little did he know that Athena, far away in the Sanctuary, immediately sensed this Cosmo and, in just one second, understood the entire situation from it.

"The Three Gods have been defeated, and now the Dream World is undergoing drastic changes, but Sisyphus himself refuses to release his soul."

"This stone gate should also be a conceptual existence; it cannot be easily destroyed." ]

"Damn, what kind of high-tech is this? This sword energy is like sending a battle report. Can it contain so much information?"

Everyone from other worlds felt their horizons broaden.

They never expected sword energy could be used this way. It was even more effective than sending a telegram; it was practically like handing the script to Athena... Does it need to be that detailed?!

 .....

〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜

The people present were not surprised by El Cid's actions, but rather worried whether his decision was too risky.

None of the people present was a fool; anyone with eyes could see that El Cid intended for Lady Athena to act personally.

But... the Dream World is the territory of the Underworld. If anything were to happen, it would be no laughing matter.

"Lady Athena, it's all my fault."

Sisyphus knelt on one knee before Sasha, his words filled with regret.

If anything were to happen to Lady Athena because of him, he would never forgive himself.

Sasha's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Sisyphus, I told you before, I never blamed you for bringing me to the Sanctuary."

Why was he still so hard on himself, to the point of allowing the Specters to exploit this weakness?

Sisyphus remained silent, his head bowed. If Lady Athena had to go to the Dream World personally because of him, and something happened, he would be a great sinner.

 .....

〜Bleach World, Karakura Town〜

"That's possible?!"

Uryu Ishida's glasses almost fell off in shock, his worldview shattered.

El Cid's action was tantamount to Ichigo Kurosaki firing a Getsuga Tensho in Soul Society to tell his present self in the Human World to remember to cook his dinner tonight...

Rukia also murmured in a daze,

"This is much better than a phone call..."

This was equivalent to making a cross-dimensional call, and the most outrageous thing was that one dared to send it, and the other dared to receive all the information in seconds.

Is this "Cosmo" thing really that useful?!
