Chapter 23: The Maiden's Battle Formation (1)

Sanctuary, the 12th sign of the zodiac – the sixth house.

The palace is immersed in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, and is supported by a tall Buddha statue on the left and right of the entrance.

They don't have much power on their bodies, but they have a faint majesty, almost the majesty of a god.

As the surging small universe of the Lion Palace gradually subsided, a peaceful Sanskrit sound came from the Virgin Palace.

But the two huge black shadows that followed almost obscured the last light left on the stone steps.

Within a few minutes, the bright light of the Virgin Palace was covered by dense dark clouds, and from the sixth house below, the Aries Palace, the Golden Bull Palace, the Double Palace, the Cancer Palace, and the Lion Palace completely disappeared into darkness.

The Sanctuary has been nearly half destroyed.

The Grim Reaper emerged from the darkness, and the air around the luxurious garments seemed to freeze.

It was murderous, murderous from God.

Hypnos was able to understand the wrath of death,

Coming out of the fifth house, perhaps earlier,

In the battle between the Cancer Palace and the Double Palace, Thanatos has been provoked.

Provoked by a group of weak humans, common sense as a god is constantly subverted.

Even if he used his power beyond the mortal level to end the battle, Thanatos, no, even Tashopnos didn't get much pleasure from the battle, but rather accumulated a lot of anger.

They desperately need a battle to regain their superiority as gods.

Holding up a ball of purple light entwined with thunder, the energy body constructed by pure divine power expanded at an extremely fast speed after continuously instilling huge power, and in just a moment, it had the size of a palace gate.

Thanatos snorted coldly and pushed it hard.

The coercion of the domineering disappeared into the dark entrance, and the sound of all things fell silent in the stream of light.

The annoying Sanskrit sound disappeared without a trace, and Thanatos finally had a smile.

"Finally, is it coming?"

Libra Palace, dragon-shaped energy wrapped around the dry purple skin.

Tong Hu said to the disciple who was still kneeling nearby,

"Zilong, did you see all the tricks just now?"

"Yes, teacher."

Draco lowered his head and responded.

"Good."

The old Saint Seiya rarely showed a satisfied look,

"So now...... I, as a teacher,

The last task you have to complete. ”

Zilong listened to the teacher's teachings solemnly,

"Leave this Libra Palace, no matter what happens, don't look back."

"What?!"

Draco clenched his fists and raised his head, met with a pair of calm eyes.

"Teacher, I-"

"Zilong, the battle of the Zodiac is a battle that belongs to the Golden Saint Seiya.

If the Holy War requires sacrifices, then it is enough to have us, and there is no need to add your blood. ”

Tong Hu slowly raised his arm and pointed to the exit of the seventh house.

"Your mission is to rush to Athena's side and do our job as we can no longer take on our duties."

[The teacher opens up the road with himself, and the disciple shoulders the future. 】

[This is how human beings are inherited. 】

"My disciple, Athena...... I'll leave it to you. ”

"I see, teacher."

Zilong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your continued teachings!"

Draco turned around and walked away briskly with the teacher's smile.

In the main hall of renewed silence, the old man looked at the Libra sacred robe suspended in front of him.

"Are you ready, old friend?

Two hundred and forty-three years, finally ...... Be able to return to the battlefield. ”

The folded skin cracked, and the little universe of gold began to awaken.

=====================================

In the sixth house, the purple divine power dissipates.

The figures of the twin gods seemed to melt into the air, and infiltrated the new palace.

This place has been destroyed, and in a few moments it will be swallowed up by darkness, just like the other five houses.

This should have been the case, but as he was sneaking, Thanatos seemed to feel an invisible diaphragm, dragging his body and making his movement no longer free.

The feeling was familiar, and Thanatos certainly recognized the power of the enchantment.

Although it is not as good as the enchantment that Athena laid out as a god, it does stand alone in this sixth house, opposing their divine power.

"Even as a god, it would be too rude to want to pass through my virgin palace without saying hello."

In the dark palace, a light comes from the center.

The Golden Saint Seiya sitting on the lotus platform emitted a soft light around him, slowly dispelling the darkness.

Thanatos's silver eyes reflected the shadow of the other party, and the murderous aura that seemed to be condensed into a steel blade scraping the opponent's golden holy clothes.

After a long time, Tanatos's clenched fist slowly loosened, his face calmed down, and even a smile appeared.

"Good, good, I'm looking for something to calm my anger.

Since you're not dead, I'll use your blood to calm myself down, Saint Seiya. ”

When the Golden Saint Seiya heard this, he walked down the lotus platform.

"You do need to calm down, Death.

This is not the underworld you are over, and there is a penalty for trespassing. ”

"Punishment?" As if he had heard a big joke, Thanatos's face turned irrepressibly hideous, "Who will punish God?"

Who is qualified to punish God?

You?

Dusty thing?! ”

With a wave of his hand, Thanatos struck Shaga with a purple bolt of light.

Sanskrit spat lightly, and with a soft shout from Saga, a round shell-like glass wall emerged, supporting his body and blocking Tanatos' attack.

But the moment when the power from God was hindered showed no signs of dissipating, but rather increased rapidly.

In just a short moment, it was twice the size of its original size, leaving a few cracks in the wall of Shagar's Fudo Ming King.

Then, with Thanatos' contemptuous smile, the light projectile increased even further, to a point close to the size of a round-shell wall.

As if sensing the overly powerful attack, SaGa's hands changed from the Seal of Determination to the Seal of Fearlessness, his arms raised to his chest, his five fingers stretched, and his palms pushed forward.

"Om!"

Inside the round shell wall, Shajia's small universe instantly expanded by a level, and collided with the purple ball of light outside the wall, bursting out with dazzling strong light.

"Kara~"

In the sound of glass shattering, it seemed that something had been destroyed in the virgin palace, returning the sixth house to an unremarkable death.

The barrier that took a day to build was simply broken, worthy of the power of the gods.

Shaga was still thinking about what to do, but Tanatos spoke,

"Survived my frontal attacks twice, did you rely on the enchantment just now?

You...... It's a little interesting, and it makes me want to move my muscles and bones.

Tell me your name, Golden Saint Seiya of the Sixth House. ”

"Virgo, Shaga."

Virgo? Thanatos seemed to remember something, but he didn't remember it very clearly. Like, somewhere have you heard this name.

"I've been here for a while, and I've heard a lot of interesting rumors from my subordinates."

Hypnos, on one side, stepped forward and answered Tanatos' questions.

"It is said that one of Athena's twelve Golden Saints claims to be the closest to a god.

Virgo, is that you? ”

The closest thing to God? Tanatos sneered, but didn't even bother to refute it,

Just looked at Shaga and waited for his answer.

"The man closest to God?" Shaga was silent for a moment, and then said lightly, "I don't think it's the right judgment. ”

"Oh?" Hypnos raised an eyebrow, he didn't hate people who were self-aware.

However, he would obviously be wrong about what the other party meant.

The rosary wrapped around his left arm was released, and Saga continued,

"Because even God must stop there."

Sagar's eyes slowly opened, and a circle of golden ripples swept through the air,

Holding the suspended rosary in both hands, the direction in which Shaga stood, the air behind him, and the zenith of the Virgin Palace were all covered by a scroll of square Buddha images.

"Farewell to your five senses for a moment, God.

Within the greatest mystery of this sign of Virgo - the heavenly dance...... Treasure Wheel! ”
