🏛️ Saint Seiya The Heaven: Olympus 🏛️

🔹Chapter 39: Knowledge

// Scene at the Temple of Hermes, Mount Olympus //
Shaka was pushed back by the Gnosios, and dozens of large cubes were smashed against Shaka

* Note: They are indeed inside the Temple of Hermes, but the dimensions inside the room have changed. They are like being outside of space

Anaxagoras: "Haha, take that, Athena's Saint"
Aristarchus: "Having been hit by such a large number of cubes head-on, he would be finished"
Thales: "Huh ??"
(Suddenly, area where Shaka was, shining bright yellow light)
Aristarchus: "What is that light ?!"
Thales: "That !!"
(Thales is surprised to look at Shaka)

You can see a very large golden Buddha behind Shaka.  The Buddha protected Shaka with his palms

* Note: The position of Shaka and the Buddha are both in the sitting position

Anaxagoras: "Buddha ..."
Aristarkhos: "So that is what protects him ..."
Shaka: "(This is the moment)"
(Chimes rang out)
Shaka: "* TENBU HORIN *"
(The dimension around them changes)
Thales: "What ?!"

Their footing turned into a vast expanse of water.  Shaka and the Buddha figure sit on the water.

* Note: You know the dimensions if Shaka uses Tenbu Horin right, it's just that, around them remains like outer space.  Only behind the Gnosios was a large patterned wall

Aristarchus: "This must be what he did"
Shaka: "You guys are already within my reach ..."
Hermes: "..."
Shaka: "I'll lose all your senses"
(Shaka gathers energy using his palms)
Shaka: "* GOKAN HAKUDATSU *!"

* Note: Meaning "The elimination of the five senses"

????: "You thought you won, Virgo Shaka ??!"
Shaka: "??!"
(The four Gnosios stand in a square shape)
Shaka: "What? !!"
(Shaka's Tenbu Horin Dimension destroyed)

* Note: Dimensions return to the outer dimension, but still, the footing is still a stretch of water, Shaka and Buddha Figures are still sitting on the water

Shaka: "Tenbu Horin has ...!"
????: "Hmph, maybe we can't avoid your technique, but what if we just destroy the dimension of your technique ??"
Shaka: "What ?!"
????: "My name is Hipparkhos, fourth Gnosios of Hermes-sama"
(The four Gnosios float above Shaka)
Hipparkhos: "Maybe we haven't told you. If the four of us join forces, we can change a dimension around us"
Shaka: "I see ..."
(Shaka is thinking)
Shaka: "(Direct physical attacks won't work, and attacks that use another dimension like Tenbu Horin won't work ... What should I do then??)"
Hipparkhos: "The more you will realize that you cannot beat us"
Shaka: "Huh ??!"
(A large Golem appears in front of Shaka, the Golem is standing on the water)

* Note: This golem is the size of the Buddha behind Shaka

Shaka: "What is that ?!"
Hipparkhos: "Destroy him, Golem !!"
(The golem advances towards Shaka)
Shaka: "Khh !!"
(Buddha behind Shaka stands)
Shaka: "Ghh !!"
(The Buddha figure blocks the Golem's attack)
Shaka: "His strength is so strong!"
(The golem pushes the Buddha)
Shaka: "(There is no other choice .. !!)"
(Shaka gathers energy with his palms)
Shaka: "* ŌM * !!"
(The Buddha shines brightly)

The Buddha got ready with his right palm, then he crushed the Golem with his palm

Hipparkhos: "What ?!"
Shaka: "Huff ... Huff ..."
Hipparkhos: "A very strong blow, enough to destroy my Golem"
(Hipparkhos looks at Shaka)
Hipparkhos: "But that's just an introduction ...!"
(Hipparkhos prepares to do something)
Hermes: "Wait a minute, Hipparkhos"
Hipparkhos: "Hermes-sama ..."
Hermes: "I want to ask him something"
(Hermes looks at Shaka)
Hermes: "Virgo, you are called 'the man closest to the gods', then why are you doing all this ... Against the gods ?? You should be the one who understands the most about this"
Shaka: "It's true that I know quite a bit about it, because since I was kid, I kept trying to understand it. But ..."
Hermes: "???"
Shaka: "I'm also human, humans deserve their justice, I can't ignore it all ... This time I will think as a human, that's why I will fight as a human"
Hermes: "As humans ?? Your position is lower than us gods, what can you do ??"
Shaka: "Nothing is really perfect in this world, we humans are not perfect, but with that imperfection we can keep going, progressing and growing"
Hermes: "Ridiculous"
Shaka: "Then what about you, are you 'Perfect' ??"
Hermes: "We Gods are born perfectly, we have the highest knowledge"
Shaka: "Then, have you ever felt an awkwardness in yourself, such as doubt ??"
Hermes: "Huh ?? !!"
(Hermes seemed to notice something from Shaka's words and he remembered something)

[Flashback-Begin]

* Thousands of years ago, in the Age of Mythology

// Scene at the Flower Garden, Mount Olympus //
Hermes came to the flower garden.  Seen a woman sitting there

* Note: Hermes is still a kid here

Hermes: "Greetings, Auntie"
????: "Oh Hermes huh ..."
(Hermes meets the person)
????: "What are you doing here?"
Hermes: "I want to talk to you Auntie"
????: "Oh, I see ..."
Hermes: "Where is she? Usually she is always with Auntie here"
????: "She's playing in this flower garden, maybe she's on the other side"
Hermes: "I see"
????: "What do you want to talk about?"
Hermes: "Something's been on my mind lately"
????: "What is that thing?"
Hermes: "I have got a lot of knowledge, but I still can't know what is 'Right' and what is 'Wrong' ... Is everything I think is right is right, or is everything I think is wrong is wrong ?? I still don't know  the answer "
????: "Even someone like you who is very diligent and has a lot of knowledge can get confused huh ..."
(The woman speaks with a smile)
????: "Take it easy Hermes ..."
Hermes: "Huh ??"
(The woman rubbed Hermes' head)
????: "It's not easy to find the real answer in a vast world like this, and everyone's thinking is different"
Hermes: "Do you know the answer?"
????: "I also don't know the real answer ..."
(Hermes looks gloomy)
????: "But ..."
Hermes: "???"
????: "The most important thing is that we keep looking for that answer ... That's right, as long as we keep looking for what we believe, our life will never be in vain"
(Hermes is stunned by his words)

[Flashback-End]

* Return to the present time at the Temple of Hermes

(Hermes looks thoughtful)
Hermes: "(Right, I'm still looking for it now ...)"
Shaka: "..."
Hermes: "(Will I get the answer this time ??)"
(Hermes looks at Shaka)
Hermes: "Even if everything you say is true, you still have to win this battle right? ... Otherwise, all your truth is useless"
Shaka: "Yes, that's right ... We have to win this battle"
Hermes: "Then how did you win? ... Show it to me, Virgo Shaka !!"
Shaka: "Yes, I will show it all to you"

Hermes stepped back.  And the four Gnosios prepared to battle Shaka

Anaxagoras: "Are you ready for your defeat?"
Aristarchus: "You should have been prepared by coming here"
Thales: "We are not special forces at war like Athena or Ares, but no one has ever escaped after confronting us"
Shaka: "It doesn't matter if I lose the battle here, the most important thing is this war"
Hipparkhos: "Are you sure of your friends? Are you sure they can win?"
Shaka: "I don't know if they can win or not, but I'm sure of them"
(Shaka closes his eyes)
Shaka: "We don't know what will happen in the future, all we can do is go ahead and try ... That's human"

🔹A principle ... Everyone has their own principles ... Be it Human or God ... They are fighting with the principles they have and believe in ... As Shaka did ...
