Chapter 277 - 140: Completely Frozen, Attacking Hades Castle! (Part 1)

Chapter 277: Chapter 140: Completely Frozen, Attacking Hades Castle! (Part 1)

The restraints were completely gone!

There was no brilliant aura of light surrounding Alex, yet he exuded a suffocating, terrifying oppressive pressure, as if he could tear apart planets with his bare hands.

The ground beneath his feet silently caved in, forming a massive, spiderweb-like crater. The surrounding space exhibited subtle distortions from the shockwaves of his raw power!

"Wh-what!"

"He... he isn’t wearing a Cloth! He broke free from the Demonic Killing Array using only his physical body?"

"That’s impossible! This isn’t human power at all!"

"Is he really a Saint? I have never seen such power in a human before!"

The maniacal laughter on the faces of all the Celestial-tier Specters froze instantly, replaced by boundless dread and unbelievable terror.

The Demonic Killing Array they were so proud of, a formation capable of trapping and killing gods, had actually been forcefully shattered by the opponent relying solely on physical strength!

This completely overturned their entire understanding of reality!

Alex did not give them any opportunity to react.

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed at the dozens of stunned Specters in the air.

"It’s my turn to attack!"

"Freezing Coffin!"

There was no earth-shattering fanfare, only an absolute chill that felt as though it could freeze the entire universe, descending from the sky like a towering iceberg!

Omm!

The air instantly condensed into ice-blue crystals!

The space within the Sanctuary plaza was completely frozen!

Even time lost its meaning at this moment!

Those Celestial-tier Specters who had been roaring in terror just a second ago, along with the sturdy Surplices they wore, looked as though someone had pressed the pause button on them.

Layers of flawless, crystal-clear solid ice exuding eternal cold materialized out of thin air, precisely sealing every single Specter within!

Inside the ice coffins, the Specters’ utterly terrified expressions, their attempted struggles, and even the surging deathly Cosmos around them were instantly frozen in place. They were clearly visible, yet not a single trace of life force emanated from them!

Dozens of massive ice coffins radiating a deep blue chill hovered above the Sacred Mountain plaza like crystal tombstones.

Sunlight filtered through the layers of ice, refracting a bone-chilling halo.

The plaza, which had been deafeningly noisy just moments ago, was now dead silent. All that remained was the eternally frozen tableau of death inside the ice.

The only reason these Specters dared to cause trouble in the Sanctuary was that they relied on the immortal, indestructible lives bestowed upon them by the Underworld King.

Even if they were killed by Alex, they could be quickly resurrected by Pandora through the summoning altar!

In every Holy War, in order to counter the Specters’ immortal and indestructible abilities, they had to sacrifice the Virgo Saint, engraving the soul fluctuations of the 108 Specters onto his Buddhist prayer beads. Only by paying a massive price could they break this seemingly unsolvable ability of the Specters.

But against Alex, the Specters’ so-called immortality?

Faced with the Freezing Coffin seal formed by Absolute Zero, the immortal traits bestowed by the Underworld King were completely frozen into dead silence.

Even the very space in which they existed was sealed together with them into an eternal hell of freezing ice!

Because these Specters had not actually died, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to respawn!

As long as Alex willed it, he could keep these Specters frozen until the end of the Holy War. With the Freezing Coffin ability cast by his Cosmo, unless the Gods of Death and Sleep or Hades himself personally came, it was absolutely impossible to break.

Alex slowly lowered his hand as if he had merely done something insignificant, his gaze calmly sweeping over those ice coffins.

At the summit of the Sacred Mountain, Athena’s tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly. Her eyes held profound shock alongside a trace of realization.

Dohko had already walked up to the side of the Goddess’s statue by this time. He lightly tapped his walking stick against the ground, letting out an almost inaudible sigh. He thought of the Aquarius Saint from his era, Mystoria.

Although he had also been strong, there had ultimately been a limit!

But this generation’s Aquarius Saint, Alex, was truly terrifyingly strong!

To be able to instantly freeze over thirty Celestial-tier Specters single-handedly... was he truly human?

Dohko’s cloudy old eyes covertly exchanged a glance with Athena. Both of them saw the wariness in each other’s eyes.

...

Outside Hades Castle.
