[ Without any more wasted words, Rhadamanthys struck the figure behind him again, but the result was the same as last time!
Regulus's figure dissipated like smoke, making Rhadamanthys stare in bewilderment: "What in the world is going on?! I didn't feel like I hit anything."
"It felt... like fighting the wind!"
Rhadamanthys felt as if he were lost in a perilous forest, with a ferocious lion lurking in the jungle.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a gust of wind blew past...
The next second, Regulus's figure had already appeared before him, his right fist still in a striking pose!
At the same time, the armor on Rhadamanthys's chest began to crack, and in the exposed area, the heart infused with divine blood was directly revealed!
Rhadamanthys stared at his exposed heart, momentarily stunned. When exactly had he been hit?!
"Ugh ah ah ah—"
A moment later, an intense pain surged through him, and Rhadamanthys hysterically questioned the little lion: "You... what did you do...!!"
"Why does it have such power... without a Cloth!!" ]

"This must be a haunting! Rhadamanthys's fists can't hit Regulus, but the latter can actually cause damage."
"And the little lion seems to have gotten stronger. A punch as light as a breeze didn't even give the Wyvern time to react, directly striking him through the heart!"
Regulus's current existence is very peculiar, as if he has long since dissipated, yet is everywhere... making everyone feel that he is now integrated with nature, just like his deceased father!
It's not that he isn't wearing a Cloth, but that his physical body was annihilated in that technique, the Zodiac Exclamation, and he can no longer wear a Cloth.
Moreover, everyone also discovered that those who don't wear Cloths are even more powerful. Is a Cloth such an inconvenience?!
.....
〜Bleach World, Seireitei〜
"Regulus can hit people, but others can't hit him?!"
In the Soul Society, the captains were also very surprised to see the miraculous scene before them.
This... is cheating!
The little lion who couldn't cause effective damage with all his previous techniques now, without a Cloth, punches Rhadamanthys through the heart?!
It's almost like an illusory existence, visible but untouchable, yet Regulus can still attack!
The Head Captain narrowed his eyes, leaning on his long sword with both hands:
"Unity of Heaven and Man, feeling like the wind, able to gather and disperse, untouchable, yet omnipresent."
He was a born warrior, able to learn various combat skills like child's play with just a glance! He was a true genius.
〜Jujutsu Kaisen World, Future Timeline〜
Yuji Itadori exclaimed in surprise:
"Isn't that the Void Monster Greeza!... Uh... Regulus!"
There were also some tokusatsu shows in their world, and Yuji watched plenty of them when he was a child. Regulus's current state was exactly like the Void Monster.
"It is completely 'nothing,' 'non-existent,' a life form without any material or energy reactions."
Nobara Kugisaki, who never watched such things, was full of questions:
"Uh... what does that mean?!"
Seeing Yuji struggling to describe it, Satoru Gojo took over the conversation with interest:
"To put it simply, it means I can hit you, but you can't hit me! It's such an unreasonable existence."
〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
Although he understood that Regulus had actually passed away, Sisyphus felt deeply comforted:
"Regulus... has finally reached the realm of his father, Ilias!"
Regulus had achieved what he had always dreamed of. Now, he must be able to hear his father's voice!
The Pope sighed slightly:
"The Eighth Sense... Regulus is now like the wind; it is not any form, and it can be any form."
This was the state of Leo's father, Ilias, without illness, and for Rhadamanthys, who possessed divine blood, it was just a punch!
To reach such a level at such a young age is truly unprecedented!
.....
[ However, when Rhadamanthys saw Regulus's somewhat erratic body, he finally understood: "So that's it, a body like the wind, you...!"
Regulus looked back at him: "Yes, I am already a part of the earth!"
"I can also hear my father's voice!"
His physical body had returned to the earth, becoming one with it, and his soul was omnipresent in the sky, drifting with the gentle breeze.
"This is the world my father felt! I took a long detour, but I finally reached it..."
"Speaking with the earth!"
"Lightning Plasma—!"
The little lion's simple and unadorned punch struck out again, easily hitting Rhadamanthys's chest!
Although this punch was far less spectacular than the previous two divine techniques, the latter was completely unable to dodge, or rather... had nowhere to hide!
The destructive power directly pierced through all of Rhadamanthys's defenses. Wherever the light reached, everything was destroyed!
Including that heart infused with divine blood!
Blood spurted from the latter's body, his pupils filled with shock: "I couldn't dodge his punch... I was watching him... I... actually..."
From his back, the little lion's fist pierced through, but it carried no color, as if even the blood had evaporated!
"Lightning... Plasma... For killing a Wyvern, it's truly a simple technique!"
As the little lion's fist was pulled out of the Wyvern's body, a huge hole appeared in the latter's chest. The Wyvern finally realized his defeat.
"Truly magnificent, you have surpassed the power of a god and reached this realm..."
The powerful yet ruthless Rhadamanthys couldn't help but acknowledge the little lion's abilities displayed in this battle!
The little lion's eyes no longer held the previous hatred, and he told the Wyvern with a smile: "I could hear it throughout the battle, just as I was seeking my father..."
"You, too, are just searching for someone's figure!"
As the vitality in Rhadamanthys's eyes rapidly faded.
Regulus's figure also began to dissipate. Finally, he walked to his comrade, the Leo Gold Cloth.
"Sorry, Tenma, Shion! I originally wanted to play a bit longer..."
"Oh, it seems I'm about done too... But I'll be everywhere, right... Father!"
His thoughts would drift further with the breeze, existing with all things in the world! The gentle breeze brushed past his illusory body, taking away his last gaze.
Only the Leo Gold Cloth remained, lonely on the ground! ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"This is his father's realm. It seems that if he hadn't been ill, dealing with the divine-blooded Rhadamanthys would have been a single punch!"
"The Leo family has three Eighth Senses. This bloodline is truly amazing, truly surpassing the power of a god..."
Everyone felt sadness at the passing of Leo. A 15-year-old boy achieving such a level was truly astonishing and brought them too many incredible things.
In the end, everyone realized that the little lion had already died. The last punch he threw was just a remnant of his consciousness.
He saw it clearly, yet couldn't dodge it, and its power was astonishing.
And this was the Eighth Sense that the little lion had just comprehended, but his father had comprehended it for many years. From this, it can be seen that if he hadn't been ill, the old lion could have instantly killed Rhadamanthys!

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Da Vinci sighed slightly:
"His departing back was still just a child!"
He performed one incredible technique after another, making them forget that this powerful warrior was just a gifted young man.
He spent his entire life pursuing his father's footsteps, and only upon his departure did he finally hear his father's voice!
Dr. Romani's voice was low:
"Yes... It's hard to imagine how strong Ilias, known as the strongest Saint, Leo, would have been if he hadn't been ill!"
To maintain the Eighth Sense in a normal state for so many years... but, even with the power of the Eighth Sense, one still cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, and death. Humans are still human after all.
It is truly heartbreaking that such a young and gifted little lion died like this.
〜Saint Seiya Toeiverse, Anime timeline〜
Leo Aiolia looked at the screen with dissatisfaction:
"Tsk, if it weren't for the divine blood, Rhadamanthys would have died long ago!"
This Rhadamanthys is simply a tank. He survived Scorpio's Antares and lasted until Hades gave him divine blood.
He also blocked a solo Athena Exclamation and the Zodiac Exclamation without much trouble! He's too resilient.
It's a pity... if Regulus had a few more years, perhaps this gifted senior could have become the strongest Saint!
Reaching the Eighth Sense at fifteen! And if Regulus, who mastered all the Gold Saints' techniques, hadn't died, the twelve Gold Saints' ultimate techniques might not have been lost.
.....
[ After an unknown amount of time, Aries Shion finally arrived from the Mars Demon Palace!
Looking at Rhadamanthys's corpse, the surrounding ruins, and the lonely Leo Gold Cloth on the cliff edge!
Shion instantly understood everything that had happened. He staggered forward, slowly knelt before the Leo Gold Cloth, and gently stroked the Cloth: "Well done..."
A great sorrow and pain surged through him: "I truly wish you could have lived. Among us Gold Saints, weren't you the youngest!"
Tears streamed down Shion's face, his sadness lingering, but suddenly he heard a strange sound from behind him!
Rhadamanthys, whose heart had been pierced, actually staggered and moved. Shion turned his head, no longer able to hide his shock: "Why can you still move!"
Shion quickly regained his composure and rushed forward, wanting to annihilate him again. Rhadamanthys's eyes were devoid of any light, and his body transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the sky! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Shion is right, perhaps in the hearts of the Gold Saints, they all wished Regulus, this young genius, could have lived!"
"Holy crap, no way! He's moving even without a heart!"
Sisyphus, after having his heart dug out, was still able to launch an Athena Exclamation, but he eventually couldn't hold on and died!
But Rhadamanthys, whose heart had been pierced for so long, even until Shion arrived, can still be alive?!
It was bad enough that the Saints weren't human before, but now even the Specters aren't human! It's like grinding biological knowledge into the ground!
