[How long has it been since we've talked together?] 】

At the small square table, two people sat on the floor.

There is no Pope here, and there is no Libra Gold Saint Seiya.

The people who stayed here to talk were just two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"About fifty, a hundred,

No, it's probably been nearly two hundred years. ”

Tong Hu rubbed his chin and said uncertainly.

"Perhaps."

Shi Ang didn't think about it carefully, and took a sip of the small cup.

"Last time, it wasn't just the two of us."

Shion smiled, fragments of memory flashing in his eyes.

Two hundred and forty-three years ago,

On the eve of that battle,

Everyone once drank together,

now

But only ...... remained. It's just two people.

"Do you need to call somebody?"

Tong Hu asked, "After all, there aren't many opportunities to have a drink with the Pope. ”

Shion understood what his old friend meant,

But he only thought about it for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Forget it, they're probably not used to being with us old men.

It's rare to have some free time, so you don't have to be constrained anymore. ”

Shi Ang sighed, overlooking the view under the Papal Chamber.

"This time, I don't know what the Sanctuary will be destroyed.

None of them knew who would survive. ”

"If it's destroyed, just build it again.

We humans don't live on dead things. ”

Tong Hu smiled disappreciatively,

"But you,

Why is this the way it looks today, it doesn't look like the Pope, Sion. ”

Shi Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"The Pope?

This location is not so easy to do.

In contrast, I would rather go to Wulao Peak for a hundred years. ”

Tong Hu choked and coughed a few times in succession.

He was clear that his old friend was complaining about his shirking of responsibility.

"Are you afraid, Tong Hu?"

"What do you mean?"

"This time, the Immortal King has come with all his forces, and the situation is the most sinister since the age of mythology.

One Hundred and Eight Demon Stars,

Twin Gods,

Even I am not very sure about dealing with this kind of enemy.

But one thing I know for sure,

You and I will both die. ”

Shi Ang said lightly, as if what he said was just an extremely ordinary trivial matter.

Tong Hu gently shook the small cup,

"This life was picked up, as long as it can be exchanged for its due value, it can be regarded as no regrets.

Fear.......

That kind of thing,

For us Gold Saints, it doesn't exist. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shion,

"What about you, Shion?

In a few hours, maybe you'll be the only one left here~

When the time comes, deal with Hades alone,

Can you? ”

Shion took a sip of his drink and put down his glass.

"Of course,

At that time, I will make good use of the advantages you have fought for to create a chance for Athena-sama to win. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, raising the wine glass in their hands,

[This holy war, regardless of gains and losses, does not ask about life and death. 】

[All for the sake of the Holy Land, for the sake of ...... The future of humanity! 】

Tong Hu grabbed his hat and turned to leave.

[So...... Goodbye, dear friend. 】

Shi Ang said softly, his expression without sadness or joy.

He slowly raised his head and looked into the depths of the thick black clouds.

"Tomorrow, it's going to be a good day.......

The turbulence of wind and snow stopped, and the white film spread to all corners of the sanctuary in an instant,

Much less powerful than Fang Cai, but more than twice as powerful, the frozen air sealed the earth protected by the Divine Enchantment.

The ruins and broken tiles, the fine stones, smoke and dust, all stood still a moment ago,

"This is Ka Miao's frozen gas, I didn't expect to be able to reach this realm?"

Garonha let out a breath of hot air and warmed his hands,

"Finally, is it still too late?"

Walking out of the channel of spiritual fire, Dis Musk said with regret,

Although the two of them had done their best to get here, they were still a step too slow.

"Do you want to check it out?"

Dis Musk asked,

Galleon looks down,

Below the bright red rose promenade is the edge of the ice wall.

He could clearly feel that

As soon as you cross that boundary, you will be completely eroded by the freezing air and become part of the Snow Country.

"Nope."

Garon shook his head,

"Let's go,

Time is running out. ”

The two of them looked up at the stone corridor,

I saw an intact and luxurious hall standing on a high place.

It was the end of the zodiac, the place where the highest man who had ruled the Sacred Realm during the time when God did not exist.

Its name is the Pope Room.

"That's amazing, Dies.

I didn't expect you to be able to pass through the obstacles of the zodiac and bring me here.

So what's next—"

Garon's words came to an abrupt end,

He probably wanted to praise his friend a few more words and say thank you.

Maybe he wanted Diess to act with him,

After all, there are only two of them left among the Golden Saint Seiya, and now they must be handled carefully.

Pity......

Gold's figure became blurred, and Dees looked at his palm in amazement,

After a long time, he apologized,

"I'm sorry, Garon."

Garon stepped forward slowly, as if trying to confirm the speculation in his heart, which he was extremely unwilling to admit.

However, as the distance approached, the uneasiness did not dissipate, but ...... Become more real.

"How could it be ......?"

"I've been following you for so long, I almost forgot about it......"

Dismusk wiped the tip of his nose and said embarrassedly.

"Well, the battle with the twin gods was too fierce before, and I didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden—"

Dismask sighed,

"The injuries on that body are too severe, and there is no way to guide you with it.

So I used the corpse qi to extract my soul, I wanted to be able to hold on a little longer,

But it seems...... That's all I can do to get you here. ”

He smiled apologetically,

"I'm sorry, old friend.

The rest of the way, you have to go on your own. ”

Garon clenched his fists tightly and slowly closed his eyes, the green tendons on his arms appearing.

"I've already told you why their sinister abilities ..... Why.....

Haven't you always been careful?! ”

"Everyone is working so hard, I can't hold them back."

Dismask said helplessly, and then looked at his old friend dissatisfied,

"Hey, don't put that on that face.

Uncle Ben made a heavy bet this time, you can't let me lose all my money. ”

Slowly, Cancer's cynical smile gradually faded,

"Sa,

Go ahead, man.

Don't you want to win this holy war? ”

He stretched out his fist and pointed it right at Garon.

Just like the night before the decisive battle, the two agreed.

Garon's clenched fists slowly relaxed, and he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to bury all his sorrow in his chest.

He forced a smile and said to his old friend,

"Ah, we'll win.

Absolute! ”

The two fists collided again,

[The girl at home will take care of you, Garon. 】

In the more and more blurred smile, Cancer's body gradually fades and disappears into fireflies.

The reassembled robe sat on top of the rock, watching his friend leave.

[I will watch you until the end.] 】

So......

You have to win,

Friend.
