Chapter 32: The Persistence of the Sacred Sword (2)
Outside the Aquarius Palace, Shiratori overlooks the stone steps below.
The sacred zodiac signs of the past have been affected by the war and are no longer complete.
"My teacherβKa Miao."
The sound of footsteps came from Binghe's ears,
"Is it Ikki?"
Phoenix walked slowly, looking at his grieving companion, and stopped talking.
"There is no need to say words of comfort, I know very well that the teacher is fulfilling his mission."
As bronze saints, they already have the power of the seven senses, and they have asked for battle several times, but no one from Athena to the Pope or even the Golden Saints has agreed.
It's not that it is not needed or despised,
Rather, there are more important responsibilities to be entrusted to them.
If the future is destroyed, then what's the point of fighting now?
"Go take care of Instant, Kazuki."
Binghe said slowly,
"I want to be alone, after watching the teacher's battle."
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the walls of the seventh house and see the scene inside.
"When-",
The arrows of gold fell to the ground,
The shattered ice shell shattered layer by layer, and there was no shadow of a human in the frozen air in the half-human form.
"You're almost a threat to me, Golden Saints?"
Leaning against the side of the wall, the part of the underworld robe on the sleeping god's right hand disappeared, but there was no damage to his chest.
"But that's pretty much the end of it, you guys."
The battle was also a rare danger to the gods, and the sleeping god calmed his breath.
If it weren't for the Capricorn attack, or for the Aquarius's freezing air, it would take time to build up strength.
If it weren't for the abundance of God's small universe,
That's not something that can be escaped with a single injury.
Facing Sagittarius's slowly kneeling posture, the sleeping god whispered,
"You're running out of energy, Sagittarius."
Tiredness hits, Sagittarius holds the pillar of the stone pillar with one hand, and breathes in the air,
"Indeed, I'm almost done here.
As a pawn, the time that can be delayed. β
On his pale cheeks, a smile of relief appeared.
These guys?
Hypnos's gaze skimmed over Aquarius and Sagittarius in turn, and the confusion in his heart deepened.
I...... Something overlooked?
"The Sleeping God, the true adversary, will not be in your field of vision."
Hypnos looked around and was shocked to find that the attacks had driven him to the walls of the Libra Palace.
To his left, there was a very deep, long drag mark, and a clearly dented crack in the wall.
The tip of his nose moved slightly, as if he had smelled ...... A burst of sweet fragrance.
This is...... Flowers?
Hypnos was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head,
At the zenith, a golden shadow fell.
[This time, the duel with the two gods, the decisive place is set for the sixth and seventh houses. γ
[Virgo Shaga, Sagittarius Aiolos, contain Tanatos before it is ready to be completed, and the task of Hypnos will be handed over to you, is there a problem? ] γ
"I'm Virgo-SaGa,"
"I'm Sagittarius-Aeolos."
"-Mission accomplished!"
"Shura, Ka Miao, Tong Hu, assist the two of them, and be sure to buy enough time before the chance to win."
Capricorn and Aquarius look at each other and nod at Libra's signal.
"The sixth house, the battle against the Grim Reaper.
The key to victory or defeat is yours, Zachar. β
Shi Ang said slowly,
"Be sure to reconcile with Virgo Libra before Tanatos breaks through the sixth house, and complete the Trinity with the rune paper of Lord Athena."
"Yes!"
"Also, the battle of the seventh house.
Abrodi, the opportunity is in your hands. β
Beside Gemini, another Golden Saint Seiya raised his head,
"The god's rune paper isn't enough to set up two palaces, and I'm not sure if AE will work twice.
Given that the Sleeping God has a more cautious personality, he is bound to become more difficult to deal with after the Grim Reaper is out.
To paralyze the will of God. β
Shi Ang said slowly,
"Your first attack, you must not hit."
What the?!
Everyone was amazed,
The Pope stepped aside, and behind him was a robe that shone brighter than usual.
"The Pisces Golden Vestment is the only vestment I can restore in a limited time.
I have strengthened its defenses with my own strength and skill, and have maximized its power at the cost of the life of the Holy Vestment. β
[Everything is done to get you through the first attack, and the most dangerous attack.] γ
Because only in this way can the god of sleep forget your existence. γ
[A person who can't be alive, a person who really grasps the key to victory or defeat! ] γ
Dozens of bright red tracks shrouded the sleeping god in all parts of his body, and the moment of astonishment made the god lose the opportunity,
When he came back to his senses, he had to face countless dangerous poisonous flowers.
Using the lives of the three Golden Saint Seiyas as bait just to stall for time?
Put the bet on the weakest Gold Saint Seiya?!
Pope, what the hell is that mortal thinking?!
Red roses, mixed with black roses,
In a short moment, the figures of God and man intertwined, standing in their respective positions a moment ago.
The holy garments on his shoulders crumbled, shattering into shards of gold, and Abrodi's body shook and slowly fell to his knees.
"I thought you were hiding some great tricks, but they were just poisonous flowers."
Hypnos crumpled the red rose in his hand, feeling a little ashamed of his caution.
Until, that pain came from his chest.
With their long pale blue hair, Pisces has a touching smile on their faces.
"This is ......"
Hypnos's body shook, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.
He lowered his head, only to see that there was already an extra flower on his chest...... White roses in full bloom.
"Among the red and black roses, there is also a white rose hidden?!"
"Blood Rose?" , leaning against the wall and standing up, Ka Miao frowned. "No, that's -",
The god of sleep tried to dispel the power of the flower with his palm, but was surprised to find that the flower was not affected in any way.
No, that's inaccurate.
Its shell is peeling off,
After the white flesh gradually detached like powder, what appeared-
- A few moments ago,
[Abrodius, have you returned from the Taurus Palace? γ
β......βοΌ
[Does the death of a comrade-in-arms make you sad, or does fleeing the battlefield make you feel guilty?] γ
Shi Ang threw down the tools in his hand and handed out the carefully crafted weapon,
"Then use it with regret and anger."
Remember, let this thing be contained in God's breast. γ
"Yes!"
A strange weapon, the branch part of the flower is not a slender branch, but a fierce soldier with a blade.
This is-
"Golden roses?"
Blood trickled down the corners of the sleeping god's lips, weakening his strength.
"It was a weapon recast by the Pope based on the god-killing dagger.
It's a prop specially prepared for you, Hypnos. β
Above the rock pillar, Aiolos said slowly.
"God-killing...... Dagger? β
Pain, intense pain, Hypnos tried several times, but instead of being able to pluck the golden rose, he was constantly robbed of his strength.
The roots of the rose, inch by inch, little by little, sink into his chest, close to his heart!
Hypnos snorted, his eyes fixed on the exit of the Libra Palace,
"Is it all for this blow?"
God's gaze seemed to be able to travel a long distance to the man in the papal chamber.
Above the 12 palaces of the Sanctuary, the man who surpasses the Golden Saint Seiya!
"Of course, I've gathered enough information while you're squandering your power."
Shion stood up,
"God's power, God's tricks, God's character, God's small universe,
And...... God's weakness. β
"Ignorance, do you think this golden rose alone is enough to defeat me?!"
Hypnos sneered,
"If that rose wasn't enough-",
With the whispers of the Pope,
In the Libra Palace, under the stunned eyes of Hypnos, the golden arrow of Sagittarius is wound,
"I can't go wrong with my plan, Hypnos."
Shi Ang said lightly,
"After all......
Only those who have the strategy to hunt down evil gods can be called - the Pope! β
He stepped forward and looked at the seventh house from afar.
Gold Saint Seiyas, now-
[When you carry out your will!] γ
The edge of the holy sword is slashed,
Hypnos didn't have time to worry about the wound in his chest and defended with his right hand.
The frozen gas condensed, and it was crushed in the palm of Ka Miao's hand,
"Diamond - dust!"
His hands were pinned down by the attacks of the two Golden Saints, and the wounds on his chest were all exposed to the archer's arrows.
Hypnos could even clearly feel the breath of the arrow,
"What is that arrow?"
"The only golden arrow enshrined in the temple,
Pope's decree that with golden roses and golden arrows,
Destroy the evil gods! β
Sagittarius draws a golden bow,
"We won't let you go any further, Hypnos."
"Stop, Sagittarius!"
Hypnos gritted his teeth,
"Now you have run out of oil, and you don't have the physical strength and small universe of that golden arrow at all!
Besides, here they kill the gods,
You can't leave one by one! β
On the sleeping god's chest, the roots of the golden rose seemed to sink into the black mire.
The restless little universe of the sleeping god can be imagined that once the god's will gets out of control, the rampant small universe will annihilate the entire seventh house.
"The dagger given by the Pope can't save your lives at all, you all know it!"
"Ah, I know.
Whether it's my remaining physical strength, or His Highness the Pope's plan,
We all know very well. β
Aiolos smiled,
"Abrodi, Shura, Kamiao,
Sorry this time...... You may be implicated. β
What nonsense are you talking about, Aiolos. γ
The sharpness of the holy sword is getting sharper, and there is no fear and worry in Capricorn's small universe.
"It's a pleasure to be on the road with you!" Ka Miao's frozen air converged, suppressing the arm of the sleeping god,
[AttackβAiolos!] γ
"You ...... Aren't these guys afraid of death?! Hypnos's face was hideous, but he could not stop the will of the golden arrow.
"O God,
Human life is so short that it does not understand the meaning of eternal life.
Because of this, all we know is
In a limited time, follow through on your beliefs! β
His physical strength was on the verge of limit, and Aiolos took a deep breath,
Be sure to complete this blow and gamble all your lives and souls!
In the seventh house, the golden warrior's body became more and more blurred, and the candle-like small universe bloomed with its last light.
Our bodies will eventually decay and our souls will eventually perish. γ
[Only before that, we have confirmed that there will be people who will inherit our will to survive on this land!] γ
In the mirror of the heavenly realm, their faces are reflected,
"Remember, O gods!
This is the sanctuary of the goddess of war,
It's humanβthe land of hope! β
The golden arrow gallops through the heart of God!!
Beyond the shattered mirror were the angry faces of the gods, and that flash of fear!
