"I know that move, 'Return Evil Unto Evil'! Is that you… the legendary Northern Murong, Regulus, who stands alongside Southern Qiaofeng?!"
"Those eyes are even better than Copy Ninja Kakashi's, aren't they surprising, aren't they exciting? I can do everything you can do!"
"Are you sure those eyes don't have the Sharingan?"
The previous Celestial Solitary Stelle, Violate, had already told them with her life: 'never use techniques against Leo! Just like with Zetton, don't use beam attacks.'
Don't look at Leo's young age; in everyone's eyes, he's a merciless copying machine. Any technique thrown at him can be thrown right back.
.....
[ Rhadamanthys, empowered by Hades' divine blood, was no longer the same. Leo's unexpected attack did not cause him much harm.
Seeing this, Regulus also felt a hint of regret: "What a shame, if you were the one from my memory, that attack just now should have finished you off!"
But at this moment, he was still full of confidence. If the opponent were only at this level, he could surpass him!
And Rhadamanthys looked at Regulus, who walked out of the ruins, with some surprise, his expression becoming slightly more serious: "To reach this level just by observing and imitating, it seems your ability to observe opponents is not an overly confident boast!"
However—
"In the end, it's still within the scope of the human species!"
"This is the power bestowed upon me by Lord Hades… the power of a god that humans cannot surpass!!"
With that, Rhadamanthys took a step forward, his body slightly crouched, and an incredibly terrifying Cosmo erupted from within him. The phantom of a Wyvern appeared behind him.
"Roar slider—!"
His twin wings furiously flapped down, accompanied by the sound of thunder. His figure flashed, moving at a speed comparable to light, leaving Regulus nowhere to hide!
"Uwah—"
The tremendous impact hit him squarely. A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his body shot backward like a cannonball, piercing through the wall behind him, turning it into a pile of ruins and kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
Rhadamanthys looked at the enormous dust cloud before him and said indifferently, "After all, he is human."
As the smoke dispersed, Rhadamanthys discovered that in the pitch-black ruins, the sharp, beast-like eyes, cold as a lion's, still stared fixedly at him, like a hunter eyeing its prey!
Regulus pushed away the stone slab pressing down on him. Blood dripped onto the Gold Cloth, yet his face was still filled with excitement: "Although I bled a little."
"But, hehe, I saw it very clearly—!" ]

"Didn't Rhadamanthys stop being human after gaining Hades' divine blood?! He doesn't even see himself as human."
"Damn it, compared to him, it seems Dohko, who also gained divine blood, is a bit weak…"
Rhadamanthys, with divine blood, was arrogant beyond measure, while Dohko, who also gained divine blood, was either severely injured or on his way to being severely injured.
Such a huge disparity, could it be that Athena's divine blood expired?! After all, it was the previous generation's blood, and it had been in a bottle for over 200 years. It really might have expired.

"No… you saw it again?!"
Deathmask looked on in confusion,
"You got a beating, and you're excited now?"
He really wanted to ask, What exactly did you see again? If you could see the opponent's moves, why didn't you dodge that attack?
Although he knew this incredibly young Leo Gold Saint might be a genius, he couldn't possibly just get a beating and then be able to use the opponent's move, right?
Even if you take a step back and assume you can perfectly replicate this move, it would be fine if you were Sagittarius, but you're a Leo! Your Cloth doesn't even have wings!!!
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyelid twitched upon seeing this, and he thought to himself,
"Divine blood is really effective… he's practically a demigod now!"
Leo's very first move already stated that if Rhadamanthys had taken that attack head-on before, he would have been killed just now!
And Rhadamanthys, empowered by divine blood, whether it was the aura he exuded, the power of his techniques, or the strength of his body!
It all seemed significantly higher than when he fought Cardia previously.
Da Vinci's eyes flickered with a hint of light:
"I just wonder if the blood of Servants who descended with a Divine Core has any effect."
There's no helping it; divine blood, which can both heal and increase combat power, is truly useful! It really makes one unable to resist the urge to research it.
Dr. Roman heard this and immediately broke into a cold sweat, waving his hands:
"Please stop your suicidal thoughts…"
.....
[ "But, I can still surpass this level!" Regulus softly muttered. And this whispering, Rhadamanthys still heard it.
To him, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his ears!
"…What?!" An incredulous expression quickly crept onto Rhadamanthys's face, but before he could recover from his shock!
Regulus's body slightly crouched, already assuming the same stance as before:
"Next, it's my turn!!"
Like a hunting lion crouching on the ground, the next second, he suddenly charged out, roaring like a phantom towards Rhadamanthys at an incredible speed!
Facing an identical offensive, Rhadamanthys's eyes narrowed: "Did he really imitate it… but!"
"It's just last-minute practice, the goal is too superficial!"
However, in a trance, he saw a familiar figure appear behind the young man before him!
Regulus's fist had already slammed into his face, and in an instant, blood splattered!
Rhadamanthys's helmet was knocked off by Regulus, and one of the horns on the helmet was broken!
Rhadamanthys ignored the blood flowing from his face and loudly questioned Regulus: "I saw someone's figure on you just now. What is your relationship with that man?!!"
"That man who could communicate with the earth, Leo Ilias! To me, he is someone I can never forget!"
Regulus's face seemed to be etched with sadness: "Of course you can't forget! Because… he was the first one to break your horn!"
Speaking of this, the hatred hidden deep within his heart made Regulus's face contort with anger: "HE IS MY FATHER!!" ]

"Holy crap, he actually pulled it off. If I remember correctly, your Cloth doesn't have wings, so how did you perfectly replicate his move?!"
"How can he be so incredible, to even copy that move? That's why I keep saying, never use techniques against Leo, but no one listens!"
Everyone couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Rhadamanthys's move should have involved using the wings of his Cloth, so it was a bit unreasonable that Regulus could pull it off.
"When will he remember that he's Leo, not Sagittarius! His Cloth doesn't have wings!"
Even a genius has limits. To perform a move that requires wings with just his body is already beyond specification. Be careful, you might get banned!
.....
[ Thoughts return to 10 years ago, the day Regulus's father was killed by Rhadamanthys!
As the son of Leo Ilias, Regulus had always believed his father was an incredible person. He could converse with forests, gentle breezes, and rivers!
When he was little, Regulus planned to catch a fish for dinner, but after trying for a long time, he not only caught nothing but also accidentally fell into the river.
Ilias pulled him out of the water and placed him on his shoulder. Then he put one hand into the water, concentrating, as if communicating with the fish!
The fish… really gathered?!
Little Regulus looked at the two fish in his father's hand with amazement, then asked in confusion, "Why did you summon two fish?!"
Ilias looked at Regulus with loving eyes: "The earth told me an old friend would come to see me!"
Taking the two large fish, the little lion prepared a meal on the spot. Just then, a burly man entered their sight!
It was the young Taurus Hasgard!
Taurus Hasgard found the reclusive Leo father and son and immediately got straight to the point, asking Ilias to return to the Sanctuary! To help them resist the restless evil stars!
"Sagittarius, Gemini, and I are all still very young, and it hasn't been long since we became Gold Saints… The current Sanctuary needs your power!"
"The power of the strongest Gold Saint, Leo Ilias!"
Ilias shook his head, pointing to the distant starry sky: "That star shining in the distance—it seems to have already died."
"Huh?!" Hasgard turned back in confusion; the Star was clearly still shining with brilliant light. ]

"Good heavens, being able to communicate with nature, did the Great Lion commit incitement to crime, tricking the fish into his hands for dinner!"
Although no one knew how the Great Lion managed to communicate with forests, rivers, and even the earth! Everyone knew these two fish definitely lived long enough.
Everyone was a little curious about what the Great Lion said to these two fish that made them willingly sacrifice themselves.
"Did he tell the fish he wanted to eat them, and then they just bit the hook themselves?! If that's true, eating them would feel like it lowers your IQ."
"What does the Great Lion mean by that? Don't be a riddle-man! What does 'the shining star is already dead' mean…"
Everyone from other worlds was stunned at this point. Did he mean that he looked alive, but was actually already dead?!
