Chapter 40: The Choice of Life and Death

Sanctuary, Eleventh House.

Inside the trembling Aquarius Palace, Binghe noticed the vast, almost abyss-like, boundless universe.

"Is this forceβ€”",

The flame-transformed bird of prey was easily shattered by red butterfly wing ripples,

Phoenix slammed into the broken wall and sat down weakly.

"Good...... Strong. ”

Obviously already has the level of seven senses,

Why......

Why, can't even touch one of his fingers?

Andromeda walked slowly, her emerald green hair had completely turned black.

The familiar mildness faded from his eyes, and all that remained was indifference,

That is the disregard of the superior,

Even though the distance between the two was close, the strong gap did not weaken in any way, but became clearer.

"The power of the Holy Domain is really empty, and there is not even a Golden Saint Seiya."

Hades's sword is pointed at a radiant point,

Then, he glanced at the torn Phoenix Throne Sacred Clothes, frowned, and slowly withdrew the long sword back into its scabbard.

"Bronze Saint Seiya, he is not qualified to die under my sword."

His neck seemed to be pinched by a big hand, and Ikki only felt that it became difficult to breathe.

This huge disparity in power,

This shuddering little universe,

I thought that I would be able to resist a little bit with more strength.

I didn't expect ......

Sorry, ......

Forgive me for being a useless brother.

The small black universe appeared to freeze for a moment, and Phoenix took the opportunity to breathe for a while,

And when he lifted up his head, he saw the body occupied by Hades,

Two scarlet tears were left on the face that was extremely familiar in the past,

"Go ......",

The weakly held arm was swayed by another will, and it was slowly lowered.

It was supposed to be the host body of the soul of Hades, but at the moment it was just repeating a simple word,

"Let's go....... Walk ......"

The crimson flame gradually extinguished, and another man walked beside the Phoenix constellation,

Binghe looked at his comrades who were familiar but already different, and a trace of surprise and uneasiness emerged.

"This small universe, is it ....... Hades?! ”

"That's not right."

Kazuki stood up, and the flame-burning holy clothes gradually recovered,

"That's my brother, Andromeda..... Blink. ”

The frozen white bird and the manic phoenix, the small universe of white and red are intertwined into a huge net, binding the man who was once a saint warrior and the soul of the Hades.

- Aquarius Palace, main hall.

Ka Miao, who finally arrived in the eleventh house, could clearly feel the changes in the side hall.

"This powerβ€”"

[Ka Miao, Aquarius Ka Miao. 】

"What do you command, Your Highness?"

In the Pope's Hall, Shi Ang said lightly,

"I command you to come to the Papal Hall at once, and do not hesitate."

"But ......",

"I order you, Aquarius Gold Saint Seiya - Ka Miao, by order of the Pope, to come to the Pope's Hall immediately, don't hesitate!"

β€œ.......β€οΌŒ

Ka Miao took a deep breath, "Your Highness the Pope, you should know better than me the identity of that small universe. ”

"Didn't you understand what I said?

Ka Miao! ”

β€œ.......β€οΌŒ

Shi Ang's tone softened,

"Go ahead, Kamiao.

He's not an enemy you can deal with, and you have more important missions to accomplish. ”

Ka Miao raised his palm, it was the black coffin of the Hades.

"Ka Miao, if you want to become a pope, you have to know the trade-offs.

Those who cannot walk on the bones of their comrades cannot see the scenery of the future. ”

The bones of comrades-in-arms, are they?

Ka Miao raised his head,

I can clearly remember the instructions of my comrades.

Abrodius.

【Athena....... Please, Ka Miao. 】

Miro.

"Take it with you and go to see the adult.] 】

Shion's knuckles exerted, and cracks appeared in the armrests of the stone seat.

"There are always people who need to live, inherit the golden will, and guide the children of the future to grow up.

Now, that person ....... It's going to be you. ”

[Ka Miao, I, Shi Ang, command you in the name of the current Pope,

Immediately come to the Papal Hall and take my place.

As for Hades, I'll deal with it.

Do you understand?! 】

The fingertips that pinched deeply into the flesh scraped the flesh, and the rough palms oozed a little blood spot.

Aquarius's trembling body slowly relaxes after a moment.

"I see, His Highness the Pope."

He said calmly,

"Forgive me for being too late to obey your orders."

β€œοΌŸοΌβ€

He stood in the center of the main hall, without the slightest intention of leaving.

"His Highness the Pope,

Here, it is the eleventh house of the zodiac, the Aquarius house.

I'm Ka Miao, the guardian of the Aquarius house, Aquarius...... Gold Saint Seiya. ”

The cold air of the forest, just as his fighting spirit emerged,

"Here, there is my present as a Golden Saint Seiya, and the future of the Ice Warrior."

Solid walls shattered,

Two shadows flew in a huge impact and fell to the ground.

Kazuki coughed up a mouthful of black blood foam and fainted.

On the other side, the White Bird is slightly better, holding the ground with both hands, struggling to stay awake.

So strong,

It's too strong,

Is this God?

If it hadn't been for Kazuki, I might have ......

The sound of regular footsteps came into the ears, it was a step that was not in a hurry,

Even if you don't have to look, you know that the enemy has already caught up.

"Is it over?"

Binghe laughed miserably and said in disappointment.

"Heads up, Binghe.

I don't remember teaching you to face your enemies with such a posture! ”

This voice, this little universe,

"Teacher?!"

Binghe turned his face in surprise and saw that Aquarius was standing in the center of the main hall not far away, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Why are you here?!"

"This is the Aquarius Palace, what is so strange about me here."

Ka Miao said lightly,

However, his eyes were fixed on the straight ahead.

In the dust and smoke, the body of the 'enemy' finally appeared.

"I see, I heard that Hades cherishes his body very much, so every time he fights, he participates in holy wars with the body of a mortal whose soul is lodged."

Ka Miao sneered,

"It's despicable, Hades."

"Humans are dolls created by the gods,

Your bodies, your souls, are only temporary forms that will ultimately fall under the control of our gods.

I want to use my own things, what is despicable.

It is only by us that we have chosen to temporarily house God's soul that 'he' should feel privileged. ”

The Hades King said slowly, and then noticed the color of the other party's holy clothes,

"I see, does the Golden Saint Seiya still survive by luck?

My subordinates are really incompetent. ”

The ice shell climbed, up his legs,

Well?!

When?!

Hades frowned, he was pretty sure that Aquarius didn't make the slightest movement,

This ice shell, what is it?

"With your ridiculous rhetoric, dwell in my ice coffin, Hades."

The ice crust spread rapidly, freezing Hades' body and spreading outward.

This kind of attack, this kind of power, Binghe on the side was surprised,

Does the teacher no longer need to use his hands to control the freezing air?

The ice sculpture takes shape and is encased in an ice coffin, and then four ice walls are erected to hold the coffin in place.

"You'll be able to settle down a bit, Immortal."

Ka Miao sighed and sat down slowly.

"Hmm-",

"Teacher, your body?!"

Binghe stepped forward and held Ka Miao,

At the entrance, red blood flowed from the cracks in the golden holy clothes.

"It's out of the way, just a few minor injuries."

Ka Miao gasped and took out a small black sarcophagus from his waist,

"Binghe, you take this, take the phoenix and leave the Aquarius Palace quickly,

Go to the Papal Room! ”

"What?"

"This black coffin seals Hades' true body, and he must not be allowed to return to the hands of Hades."

Ka Miao squeezed his disciple's shoulder tightly and asked,

"Let's go,

Let's go now,

Hades, Hades, leave it to me. ”

"Teacher, your body has been injured like this, how can you have a chance of winning!"

Glacier eagerly,

"If I'm here, we'll be togetherβ€”"

"Smack!"

A crisp slap sounded, and crimson finger marks appeared on Binghe's face,

"Are you going to disobey my words, disobey the teacher's orders?!"

"I ......"

Ka Miao stuffed the black coffin into Binghe's palm,

"This, it must be handed over to the Pope.

Do you understand? ”

He looked deeply at the constellation White Bird,

"I've taught you everything I know, so that's enough.

You must not die here.

Got it, Binghe! ”

You are the man who connects the present and the future. 】

With a gentle force, he pushed the disciple away from his side.

Shiratori looked at the teacher, and after a long time, he half-knelt down and bowed his head deeply.

After a moment, he reflexively picked up the phoenix,

"Teacher,

You're going to win, right? ”

Seeing the disciple leave, Ka Miao smiled contentedly,

"Ah, it will."

Behind him,

The black sword pierced through the ice wall and slowly sliced through.
