"Looks like Abrody won't come."

Dis Musk scratched his messy hair impatiently and said irritably.

"The Pope gave him the guard of Lord Athena before he went to the temple, so it is not surprising that he did not come."

Shura said lightly,

"Besides, if you really want to choose a candidate to replace the Pope temporarily, I don't think there will be a half-to-half situation, what do you think?"

When the remaining Golden Saint Seiya heard this, most of them nodded.

In the sanctuary, the natural substitute for the Pope is ...... Another Golden Saint who survived the former Holy War, Tong Hu.

[Old friend, I have become more and more uneasy in recent days, and the changes in the battle situation are much more dangerous than before. The offensive of the underworld is too ferocious, giving me the illusion that Hades is only seriously trying to conquer the earth at this moment. I don't know why I have this thought, but if I have an accident one day, please be sure to follow the predetermined plan-]

"The first bell has already struck."

Tong Huku sat on the ground, ignoring the words of the Golden Saint Seiyas, and said.

"Next is the Overseer's bell."

With his words, a second bell rang in the sky.

Several people looked at Dismask, who also looked unclear,

"The bell broke after striking it once, but I didn't make it."

"Go ahead, choose someone to replace the Pope, and I'll explain it to you later."

Tong Hu said slowly,

"After you've made your choice, it's up to him to decide what to do next."

"Teacher, wouldn't you like—" asked Zachar,

"No, I still have to do something." Tong Hu said lightly, "What's more, I'm not the most suitable person, I'm more suitable to give you some assistance after I have never received the corresponding exercise, you should know this very well." ”

Several people looked at each other, which showed that Tong Hu had made up his mind, and there was no way to convince him.

"I propose that Aiolos take over the pope temporarily." Arudiba was the first to say, "As you know, the Pope has mentioned this more than once. ”

"I did hear the same thing, but the Pope was thinking about it not just Ioros." Dismask plays with taste, "I think Saga is more appropriate." ”

Aiolos's body was shocked, obviously he didn't expect to be chosen first, and Zachar's expression didn't change much.

"Aiolos." Mu raised his hand and said simply.

"The Sanctuary needs a Saint Seiya with power to stabilize the situation." Shura said lightly, "In my opinion, Saga is more suitable. ”

"Zachar." Ka Miao closed her eyes and said no more after she finished speaking.

"Whether it is the heart, the technique, the body, the Sachar is suitable to take over the position of the Pope." Aioria said, giving Aiolus an apologetic look.

Of the twelve people present, six of them, excluding the two candidates, have already given a unanimous opinion.

"I chose Aeolos, I trust what I see." "He is the most suitable man to be the successor of the pope." ”

"Zachar." Saga said slowly, "He has enough power to stabilize the situation in the Sanctuary. ”

"I trust my old friend's judgment, Aeolos." Tong Hu said.

Five against four, Zaga and Aeolos can't choose, Abrody gives up, then the rest of the people are only-

"Oh? Is the crucial vote in my hands? ”

Garon sat against the wall, raised his eyebrows,

"Both, is there anything to bribe me?"

Aiolos couldn't laugh or cry, when did he still look like this, and Saga sighed, looking a little ashamed.

"Well, I'm a layman, of course such a good thing is inclined to my brother."

Garon shrugged, "After all, he is the Pope, and I can't benefit from it." ”

Just when the conclusion was confirmed, Garon patted his knee and stood up,

"It's a pity that in this situation now, I also know that I can't put my hope in one person. Once the person ascended to that position, he had the right to rule the 12 houses in an instant, and enjoyed the glory of the highest position in the Holy Land. In case his heart changes, the consequences will be terrible. ”

Garon's words silenced most people, and indeed if he were to change himself, there was no guarantee that what would happen at that point, although Aeolos and Zaga had been doing well before, but after all, they didn't have time to exercise for long.

At this critical moment, if there is another fork in the Sanctuary, it will be a catastrophe.

"What do you think?" Tong Hu said slowly,

"It's simple, separate the position of the Pope from the zodiac."

Garon said slowly,

"Sachar came to deal with the affairs of the sanctuary outside of the Zodiac, and existed as a stand-in for the Pope. Aiolos rules the Golden Saint Seiya of the Zodiac and provides direct protection to Athena. ”

"Why can't Aeolos be the Pope's stand-in?"

Miro asked, suspicion growing.

"Aiolos has become the Pope's stand-in, who will be his stand-in to guard the Archer's Palace?"

Garon said lightly.

"Garon, you ......" Saga reacted, and there was some inexplicable emotion for a while,

"You need the Pope to appear with the twelve Golden Saints, right, so wouldn't it be the best choice for me to be the Gemini Gold Saint Seiya to guard the twin wombs instead of him?"

"But in that case, you won't be able to make your identity public."

Arudiba said that although this is a good suggestion for everyone, it is very unfair to a Saint Seiya who has just made great achievements and urgently needs recognition.

"It's just a name, all I want is victory in the holy war."

Garon said slowly, "What to do, before I change my attention, you can make a quick decision." ”

Tong Hu looked at Aiolos and Sachar, and then asked for the opinions of the others, until everyone had no objections, and then said,

"So from now on,

Zachar will temporarily take the papal throne and enter the papal chamber to refine the strategy against the Hades army and the transfer plan of the civilians of the Sanctuary.

Aiolos, you can adjust the guard work of the Sagittarius Palace by yourself, the Zodiac House will release all restrictions on you, and the daily guards of Lord Athena will also be arranged by you.

Do you have any comments? ”

"Nope." Aeolos replied, and Zachar shook his head.

Tong Hu breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and finally let go of a major event in his heart.

"Teacher, you shouldn't have explained one more thing to us, right?"

Dismask asked, "What the hell is going on with that bell just now?" ”

When Garon heard this, he also looked at Tong Hu inquiringly,

Bell? What's that?

"Strictly speaking, that token that can only be used by gods, called 'Declaration of War*Fighting'."

Tong Hu sighed lightly,

"If I could, I would never let Dismusk touch it."

When Cancer heard this, his face turned pale and he had a very bad feeling.

"Declaration of War?" Shura asked, "Hasn't the holy war begun?" ”

"It has indeed begun, but the current holy war is only a confrontation between the saint seiya and the underworld fighter, and it has not deteriorated to the level of Lord Athena and Hades."

Tong Hu paused, and then said,

"The Declaration of War*, a giant golden bell made from the time of mythology to prevent the fall of the gods, is said to have five in total, and two of them have been lost.

Now the remaining three, one in the Sanctuary, the other in the Celestial Realm, and the last one in ......"

"The underworld?" Sha Jia quickly guessed and got Tong Hu's confirmation.

"The bearer of the first bell rings it as a signal of the beginning of the war of the gods. The ringing of the second bell represents the gods of the heavenly realm, as overseers, who confirm that the outcome of the battle of the gods will be recognized by them and cannot interfere.

As for the ringing of the third bell, it means that the god, as the other side of the battle, has accepted the invitation of this divine war. ”

"Is the war of the gods any different from the holy war?" Aiolos asked, according to his understanding, even without this thing, the holy war would continue, wouldn't it?

"The greatest difference between the war of the gods* and the holy war is that it can only end with the true death of the gods of one of the sides."

Tong Hu paused for a moment before continuing to add,

"There is no more chance of turnaround."

"What?!" Aioria was taken aback, "Teacher, do you mean that Master Athena has no way to get out of the way?" ”

After Tong Hu confirmed, Arudiba couldn't help but feel some anger,

"Teacher, you are too rash to do this!"

That's right, in the past, even if all the fighters of the Saint Seiya, as long as Athena can survive, then there is still a glimmer of hope.

But this time, the use of the declaration of war undoubtedly means that the holy war is coming to an end, and they ...... And not ready.

"No, I think that's the most appropriate way to deal with it."

Garon said lightly, explaining to Tong Hu, who had caused the anger of the public,

"In my opinion, Hades who attacked the Sanctuary this time will not let go of our family's goddess. Even if you don't ring that bell, once you lose...... She's going to die, too. ”

"But—" Shura frowned, always unwilling to accept this ridiculous method of coping.

"Once the bell rings, no one can attack first until all the process is complete. Otherwise, it is to violate the rules set by the gods of the heavenly realm, and to lose everything as a god and degenerate into a mortal reincarnation. ”

"So do we have some time to prepare now?"

Saga said as he calmed down.

"Hey, I still don't think it's good, this kind of divine war is too dangerous for Lord Athena."

Dis Musk hesitated,

"Is there anything I can do to stop it from continuing now, like I can go collect those pieces back?"

"It's useless, the choice is not in our hands now."

Garon shook his head, if what Tong Hu said was true, then the next ......

"Bell-",

The third bell rang and the underworld was read...... No, it's Hades' answer!
