Kaiser stood before the Zodiac Array barrier, gazing at the pitch-black hell dimension.
"Sanctuary?"
"How dare you seal the earth!"
"You're courting death!"
Countless roars echoed from behind the array.
"Get lost!"
Kaiser's divine sense ignited.
His mid-Eighth Sense Cosmo surged into the Zodiac Array barrier.
Demonic qi scattered, revealing a blood-red spatial passage.
"A bunch of insignificant demon gods, daring to covet the earth?"
"What are you thinking?"
Kaiser smirked disdainfully at the weak demons.
Most were at the Sixth Sense level, not even reaching the Seventh.
"Indeed, some of the Seven Deadly Sins have revived."
"The chaos on earth has stirred human desires."
"The seal on the demon world is loosening."
Athena's phantom appeared beside Kaiser, visible only to him.
"Oh?"
"The Seven Deadly Sins?"
"Are they the Seven Lords of Hell?"
Kaiser asked, curious about these infamous entities from his past life.
"The Seven Lords of Hell and the Seven Deadly Sins are distinct."
"Both are powerful, but the evil gods of the Seven Deadly Sins surpass the Seven Lords."
"The Seven Lords are subordinates of Lucifer, the Sin of Pride."
"Though strong, they're inferior to the Sins' evil gods."
Athena shook her head, clarifying the distinction.
"So, the Seven Deadly Sins are tougher than the Seven Lords?"
Kaiser admitted his limited knowledge.
"Yes."
"Even a partial revival of the Sins could challenge the Zodiac Array."
Athena's phantom gazed solemnly at the blood-red space beyond the barrier.
Years of war and strife on earth had unleashed humanity's primal evils, fueling the Sins' revival.
"The battlefield must be hell itself."
Kaiser glanced at the blood-red space.
He couldn't let the demons assault the Zodiac Array.
If the Sins' evil gods revived, the array wouldn't hold.
The best defense was offense.
"Wearing a Silver Cloth, be careful."
Athena warned, concerned about the Sins' evil gods.
"Don't forget, I'm a demigod now."
"The Cloth's aid isn't as crucial as you think."
Taking a deep breath, Kaiser stepped forward.
The Zodiac Array let him pass unhindered.
He entered the hell tunnel.
"What a vile stench."
"Worse than the underworld's aura."
The burning fires of hell filled his nostrils with sulfur's acrid smell.
A boom resounded.
Sensing a threat, Kaiser punched without hesitation.
A demon turned to ash amid its roar.
Kaiser's golden Cosmo lit up hell's space.
Countless low-level demons fled, scorched by his Cosmo's radiance.
At the entrance, Kaiser paused, frowning at hell's depths.
A faint sense of danger lingered.
The demons seemed like bait, luring him deeper.
"Kaiser!"
"Don't go in!"
Athena's voice rang out.
"Don't worry, I'm staying put."
Kaiser stood at the passage's exit, exuding an aura of one man against thousands.
Behind him, the Zodiac Array's mythical sun glowed; before him, endless demons.
"Want to reach the earth?"
"Kill me first…"
Kaiser's divine vision burned, golden flames spreading, incinerating demons.
"Roar!"
Many demons, tempted yet threatened, eyed him hungrily.
Devouring Kaiser could elevate them.
"Come fight!"
His battle-ready voice echoed through hell, reaching its depths.
In an unknown space within hell:
"A mere human, so bold."
"The Sanctuary seals the earth with the Zodiac Array."
"Impressive audacity."
"But without Golden Cloths, how much power can you wield?"
"The Sanctuary… heh…"
The voice faded.
Not fully recovered, it needed time.
Let the lesser demons exhaust him.
"Roar!!!"
As if commanded, countless demons surged toward Kaiser.
Hell's sulfur clouds boiled under his burning Cosmo, millions of demons pouring from the depths.
They tore at each other's flesh, claws screeching against rock walls.
Greedy demon wolves spewed corrosive venom, Gluttony's maw devoured its kin, warping space with its abyssal throat.
"Galaxian Explosion!"
Kaiser's arms traced the Zodiac's path, Gemini's technique tearing dimensional barriers.
Stars poured from void rifts, exploding in the demon tide, carving a kilometer-wide void with their energy.
Demon wolves vaporized, Gluttony's maw shattered into bloody fragments.
Purple-black demon blood rained onto the molten lava sea.
Hell's rock layers sprouted countless spikes, scarlet chains bursting forth.
These chains, imbued with Greed's laws, wove a sky-blocking net, each link etched with twisted sin runes.
Golden flames flared in Kaiser's eyes. Taurus's Great Horn shattered chains within a hundred meters, but more snaked toward him.
"Tenma Haken! Chimimoryo!"
Virgo's technique summoned evil spirits, golden lotuses blooming at Kaiser's feet.
Demons disintegrated against the spirits, but Greed's chains, fueled by sin, pierced through.
"Crystal Wall!"
At the critical moment, Kaiser's telekinesis spread.
A golden psychic barrier formed.
The scarlet chain net collided with it, shattered by the recoil.
Chain fragments fell into hell's earth.
Seven tremors shook the depths, a plague cloud carrying billions of green flies swept in.
A demon god's three-headed, six-armed form crushed the rock, each arm wielding a molten greatsword.
A demoness's seductive voice rippled pink, turning sulfur steam into peach crystals.
Kaiser's Cloth cracked under multiple law suppressions, his right shoulder plate crumbling to stardust.
"So many powerful demon gods in hell!"
"They're nearly at the Seventh Sense."
"Some even have Seventh Sense strength."
"How was such a hell sealed?"
Kaiser's face grew grave, eyeing his shattered shoulder plate.
Hell's power exceeded his expectations.
"Domain Unleashed! Libra, Hundred Weapons Arsenal!"
"I fear no mob!"
Kaiser's Cosmo blazed, his open domain unfolding.
Libra's star chart spread behind him.
Twelve golden weapons streaked into the demon army, joined by countless Cosmo-forged arms.
No demon survived where they struck.
This single blow killed hundreds of thousands.
Though most were weak.
Hell's demon army wailed in agony.
"Come! Let's see if hell fears the mythical sun!"
The Zodiac Array flickered.
The Zodiac Star Chart appeared in the sky.
The twelve Golden Cloths resonated.
The mythical sun's power gathered.
Golden flames spread from the barrier, illuminating the scarlet hell passage.
This was the Zodiac Array's strength!
Even without wearing Golden Cloths, Saints could wield their power to suppress earth's evils.
"Ah!!!"
"Roar!!"
Countless demons turned to ash in the holy light, the array's solar fire pouring through spatial rifts.
Kaiser stood at hell's collapsing entrance, watching the mythical sun's flames burn hell, clashing with its fires.
Behind him, the twelve golden constellations' sigils gleamed.
"The unfamiliar feeling has lessened."
"Soon, I'll fully harmonize with this surged power."
Kaiser assessed his condition.
Though his Silver Cloth had shattered, it barely affected him.
"Hm?!"
A massive suction erupted from hell's depths.
The mythical sun's flames surged toward it.
"What's happening?"
"Suicide?"
Kaiser watched the sun's fire flow into hell's core, surprised.
"Kaiser! Be careful."
"It's the Sin of Gluttony, Beelzebub."
Athena's voice rang out, her attention fixed on the battlefield.
"The Sin of Gluttony?"
Kaiser frowned.
"Has it fully revived?"
That was his sole concern.
A complete Seven Deadly Sins would be beyond him.
Their evil gods were at least Ninth Sense beings.
Lucifer, the Sin of Pride, reached the Tenth Sense, feared even by Olympian gods.
The other Sins, while weaker, were still Ninth Sense.
"Not fully revived."
"His soul fluctuations are still weak."
Athena warned, "Kaiser, don't let him devour the mythical sun's power."
The sun's light couldn't pierce hell's deepest shadows.
It would be assimilated, fueling Beelzebub.
"Understood."
Kaiser frowned.
The Zodiac Star Chart behind him flickered.
The sun's fire extinguished.
"Oh?"
"So vigilant?"
Beelzebub was surprised.
Kaiser had swiftly doused the sun's fire.
"No matter."
Gluttony's power devoured everything.
Soon, an avatar descended before Kaiser.
"Such intense pressure!"
Kaiser faced Beelzebub's avatar.
"Even the gods of the mythical era wouldn't dare storm hell like this."
"Mortal, your courage is immense."
Beelzebub's avatar eyed Kaiser, a glint of greed in its gaze.
It wanted to consume him.
"You want to eat me?"
Kaiser sensed its intent.
"You'd be delicious."
Beelzebub grinned.
"My revival owes thanks to those gods."
"Their chaos left the earth in misery."
"Hunger became the norm."
"The desire to be sated woke me from slumber."
"This earth isn't worth protecting."
"Your Sanctuary is just another divine faction."
"Why not join me?"
Beelzebub's words dripped with temptation.
"I'm done talking."
"You demon gods."
"Your minds are warped."
Kaiser scoffed, conjuring a holy sword.
Immense power radiated.
"Kill!"
Without the Cloth's aid, Kaiser charged Beelzebub's avatar.
A streak of light shot toward the towering figure.
"Come!"
"Roar!"
Divine power surged.
Beelzebub's massive avatar punched, clashing with Kaiser's sword.
The impact reverberated.
Lingering demons were obliterated by the shockwave.
Immense power rippled.
Kaiser's golden Cosmo surged, fueled by the Zodiac Array.
Golden energy enveloped him.
His Silver Cloth transformed into a Golden Cloth under this power.
Kaiser's strength soared.
Two mismatched figures clashed furiously in hell.
The front of hell rumbled.
Demons fled deeper, fearing death in the battle's aftermath.
"Not enough!"
"Still not enough!"
"You're one of the Seven Deadly Sins!"
"Is this all you've got?"
Kaiser swung his holy sword wildly.
His divine blood, vision, divinity, and mid-Eighth Sense Cosmo aligned.
The drawbacks of his power surge faded in this battle.
"Mortal!"
"Courting death!"
A massive arm fell from hell's sky.
It slammed Kaiser into the ground.
The earth cracked like a spiderweb.
Kaiser spat blood.
But his eyes burned brighter.
His Cosmo flared fiercer.
"Ant!"
Beelzebub hadn't expected Kaiser to be so resilient.
"This is hell, my domain!"
Entangled with a mortal this long was intolerable.
