Past and Present, The Pope (I)

With folded skin and a withered figure, the old man climbed up step by step.

"Wait a minute, teacher!"

Before the 12th house,

The Golden Saint Seiya blocks the comer,

"If you go up, it's the Papal Chamber.

If you have anything, please let us know in advance and the Pope will respond later! ”

"Yes, teacher!

Even you can't ignore the rules of the zodiac and be so reckless! ”

"You guys, trying to stop me?"

Tong Hu took off his hat, and Gujing Wubo's eyes locked on the two people in front of him.

“......”

"If you insist on it!"

The limbs that were no longer strong made a crunching sound, as if they were about to break in the next moment.

"It's been a long time since I've dealt with you.

Let's get started. ”

The cyan dragon energy wrapped around his body,

"Just let me, an old fellow, try it now...... The level of the zodiac. ”

"Stand down. 】

Above the twelfth house, a majestic male voice came.

The two Golden Saint Seiyas looked at each other, and they probably knew who the target of the order was.

In desperation, he could only respectfully retreat to the side.

Tong Hu raised his head,

Look above the Pisces Palace, the main hall that occupies the apex of the 12 palaces.

The affairs of the Sanctuary have been put aside for years,

Collect rare materials everywhere,

It takes so much time, manpower, and material resources.

Shi Ang,

Can't even a man like you resist the temptation that comes with that position?

Tong Hu sighed deeply,

Hopefully, it's not too late for me to come.

Without the hindrance of the Golden Saint Seiya, Libra was able to reach the destination of the trip very quickly.

When he stopped at the closed door, he heard the familiar voice of his old friend.

"Leaving the Tower of the Forbidden Demon Star without permission, and trespassing into the Twelve Palaces.

Libra Gold Saint Seiya, Tong Tiger.

Even you, without a suitable reason, I will never tolerate it. ”

"Suddenly a rake, that's not your style.

Pope – Sion! ”

The dragon groaned over his ears and shook open the closed door,

What Tong Hu saw when he walked in was countless orderly bottles and cans.

Some of them have a pungent bitter taste, and some of them are still quite fresh.

At the end of the corridor where these bottles and cans are displayed, old friends from the past are standing by the stone seats, fiddling with the books.

"Do you still think I'm the Pope?" Shi Ang put down the small bowl in his hand and asked.

"That's why you've abandoned the affairs of the Sanctuary?"

Tong Hu sniffed, and probably could distinguish some herbs,

and their role.

"Shion, do you want to ......?"

Depositing the bones of strength, reviving the grass of the spirit, washing away the water of impurities,

Putting so many materials together, you can only get one answer.

"Break through the limitations set by God and continue the life of the flesh forever."

That is, the medicine of eternal life.

Shi Ang raised his arm and pinched a vial of amber between his fingers.

"I've never heard of anything like that."

Tong Hu's momentum stagnated,

He had mixed feelings, one was surprised by the discovery of such a rare treasure, and the other was confused by the current state of the pope.

Three comes,

Does such a thing really exist?

Having survived by the blood of a god, he knew that even the power of the gods would run out one day.

The so-called immortality only relies on external forces to forcibly extend the life of the physical body.

"So, what you have in your hands, how many more years can add to your life?"

"Increase?"

The corners of Shi Ang's brow furrowed,

"No, I'm afraid it's a problem to drink it and survive for three hours."

“？”

"Tong Hu, I think you're mistaken.

I have no plans to continue my life. ”

Shi Ang casually tossed the amber vial aside,

"From the moment I took over the Pope, my duty was to take care of the zodiac.

As long as you can successfully build the Sanctuary before the next holy war comes, you will have no regrets. ”

Step by step, he walked down the steps,

"A long life,

That kind of thing is just a long curse for people like you and me. ”

He walked over where Tong Hu was standing and walked out.

Stayed in the room for a long time, and hadn't breathed fresh air in a while.

This era does not belong to me.

yes

Those who have walked with me,

Those who have witnessed the past,

They have all died out one by one.

"Tong Hu, the existence of the Pope, may just be a relic of the past."

Shi Ang Quiet Road,

"His value is nothing more than carrying two hundred years of history until the Sanctuary is handed over to the next generation.

yes

Once that day comes,

I ...... too."

Tong Hu waited quietly aside,

I don't know if I can't say anything to refute it, or if I don't mean to disturb my old friend.

"It's just, old friend."

“？”

"If you can,

I want to be as ....... as you."

The black sword slashed through the solid door wall, and the Hades King, who calmly walked in, lowered his head, only to see that the hall above the twelve palaces was already full of pond water.

"Above the twelfth house,

Is there a palace besides the temple? ”

"Huh?"

Hades' eyes tightened, fixed in the center of the pool, and the black sword in his hand slashed down first.

Old friend,

If I could, I'd like to be like you.

Not as a pope,

Rather, as a warrior – until the end!

The golden beam of light evaporated a large hole in the top of the main hall and fell straight in front of the black sword wind.

"My disciple, Mu."

“？”

"This Aries garment contains a small universe that I have injected into it for two hundred years.

Get its power and your fight will be a lot easier. ”

"Thank you for your help, teacher."

[Say thank you.] 】

[Obviously, I haven't used it, have I? 】

"Thou hast always disobeyed my commands,

But even so, I can't blame you, Mo. ”

The small universe of gold and black disappeared at the same time, and the spreading pool water gradually dried up.

In the pillar of light, a golden holy robe slowly emerged,

The shepherd standing on all fours was stained with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it belonged to the enemy or his own.

[It's the last time, let's fight together.] 】

[My disciple.] 】

【My ...... Holy Vestments. 】

Star Swirl of the shepherds shines on the garments until they engulf them and illuminate the basilica.

The two lights and shadows were lined up on the left and right, slowly approaching the holy clothes, slowly overlapping.

"I see, is there another person in the Sanctuary besides the Golden Saint Seiya?"

Bold long green hair, smooth skin, strong body.

The reborn man has a quiet temperament, like a nebula lying in the void, moving according to his own rules, and slowly pushing away the surrounding ones.

Whether it's the small universe or the flesh,

The man in front of him is not much worse than the Golden Saint Seiya of the Zodiac.

No, maybe a little bit stronger.

"Who are you?"

The Immortal raised his black sword and asked.

My attack just now was indeed blocked by him.

Is it a coincidence?

"We should have met, Immortal."

Step by step, the man walked down, "Two hundred and forty-three years ago, in another capacity. ”

Two hundred and forty-three years ago?

This man, this holy garment,

"You-"

"For, Aries Gold Saint Seiya, Shion."

"Two hundred and forty-three years ago, should it have been a decaying history?"

Hades sneered,

Whether it's a coincidence or a trick,

This time

It will completely erase you!

The black sword slashed down neatly and slashed past Shi Ang's forehead,

And yet the next moment,

The man who should have been cut in half took a few steps forward, walking in a not-so-fast motion, but crossed the line of distance before the Immortal could react.

A hand, pressed against his breastplate.

What the?!

The stars shone brightly, and the stunned Hades was blasted against the wall with a single blow.

"What's so strange, Hades.

We're all not the same as we were two hundred and forty-three years ago.

Now you are nothing but a wounded mortal, and no matter how powerful your soul is, you will be subject to your body. ”

The starlight disappeared in the palm of his hand, and Shi Ang said lightly,

"And I,

He is the Pope of the Sanctuary. ”

The quiet man exuded the breath of gold, and said to the silent god in the falling gravel,

"Stand up, Hades."

[My two hundred years of anger have not yet been fully vented! 】
