Chapter 6: The Goddess
The next day, Galleon came again to the Papal Chamber,
The traces of yesterday's battle are gone, as if they never happened, the bright floor tiles are covered with long red carpets, and the surrounding walls are polished to reflect the shadows of people.
Garon stepped forward, the door wall behind him slowly closed, and out of the two golden saints on standby.
Aquarius, Ka Miao;
Capricorn, Shura;
Under the stone steps ahead, two other Golden Saint Seiyas waited,
Sagittarius, Aeolos;
Virgo, SaGa;
As for Gemini Sachar, the Pope may have other considerations, so he did not make additional arrangements for him.
Just guards, did you use four people?
After thinking for a moment, Garon stepped forward, glanced at the figure behind the Pope standing on the stone steps, hidden by the white curtain, and knelt down on one knee.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your time, Athena-sama."
Needless to say, the person who can keep the Pope on the side has no other possibility than God.
"Your situation, the Pope has already told me"
Behind the curtain, the petite figure moved, and its voice was much more immature than Garon had expected, about eleven or twelve years old.
The Athena of this world has not yet fully grown, and her strength may be even weaker than estimated.
Garon concluded, sighing secretly.
"Garon, are you listening?"
The pope's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction,
"I'm sorry, Garon only heard his brother mention it verbally, and he didn't see the existence of God with his own eyes, so I hope you can forgive me if I am rude."
Garon said respectfully, and the words he said also reassured everyone present. Although the Sanctuary is the domain that Athena has sheltered, there are not many opportunities for even warriors with holy robes to meet Athena. Garon's situation is actually quite normal.
However, Garon's next sentence quickly made them angry again.
"I wonder if I can see your holy face, Lord Athena?"
Inside the curtain, the girl was stunned, as if she didn't expect Garon to make such a request.
"Garon, enough is enough"
Shaga took the lead before the Pope and Shura could react.
"Because of your request, Athena has taken a little time out of her busy schedule. Now instead of knowing gratitude, you are delusional about asking for more.
Having empty power but not thinking about duty, and insisting on taking it is not the character that a saint warrior should have. β
Shaga, who stood in front of Garon, cut off the sight of Athena, like a wall protecting the gods, blocking all suspicious forces.
As a result of Shaga's warning, Shura and Ka Miao in the rear also returned to calm, and the Pope did not show any dissatisfaction.
If Galleon can stop here, then everything should end peacefully.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Garon's purpose is to confirm the power of his own gods as a saint warrior.
Fighting for love and justice is nothing more than an empty word to him. He firmly believed that the value of his second life was to ensure victory in the holy war.
He is confident that he will not retreat in the face of the Big Three, and he will not hesitate for a second to sacrifice his life in order to bring victory.
But does Athena of this world have the power to stand up to Hades?
What about the Holy Clothes?
Time is pressing, if what Sachar said is true, the Hades army's attack will only be in the past few days, and there is no extra time to plan.
Anyway, my identity won't get worse, so I'll just use the most direct method to confirm it.
Garon's body slowly floated with a golden mist.
If you really are Athena, the one who can stand up to Hades, the hope of our sanctuary.
Then give me a response!
"Garon, what are you going to do?"
Aiolos snorted coldly,
Saint Seiya burns the small universe, and it is indeed possible to get Athena's response.
But more often than not, the burning of the small universe is a precursor to the attack.
"It's rude, there's an important military intelligence report."
A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting the conversation.
Because of the intervention of others, the small universe on Garon's body was peaceful, and the other four Golden Saint Seiyas also returned to their positions. The Pope came down the stone steps and said,
"Come in"
The messenger walked in briskly and handed the note to Aiolus, who in turn passed it to the Pope from Sagittarius.
"Cancer's Dismask has received news that the Hades Army has invaded the area around the Sanctuary, and there are still several nearby villages that have not been evacuated. The guards are only one silver and four bronze saints, and they may be almost unable to resist. β
"Asking for help?"
The Pope said slowly,
"If it's just Dismask, it really can't resist the attack of the Hades Army"
Not only can't he resist it, his strength is used to fight head-on, and how long he can last is a question, Garon shook his head secretly.
"Olafi in Lyra, Moments in Andromeda, Glacier in White Bird, Ichiki in Phoenix, and ...... Seiya in Pegasus. β
Sagar read out the names of the garrison, causing Garon's expression to tense.
"They probably wanted to cover the safe evacuation of the villagers, so they stayed there.
Reinforcements require at least two Golden Saints, and one of them must have the strength to temporarily resist the high-level demon stars of the Hades Army. β
The only one of the eighty-eight constellations with the ability to repair itself, the Phoenix Sacred Clothes, and the most powerful Lyra among the Silver Saints.
Coupled with the fact that the people who have always supported Athena, it is indeed necessary to send the Golden Saint Seiya for reinforcements.
The Pope pondered for a moment and muttered,
"Shaga, Aiolos, you-"
"Please wait a minute"
As the two Golden Saints were about to take orders, the man stood up.
"It is not difficult to resist the offensive of the Hades army for a short time, and there is no need to send other reinforcements."
Step by step, he crossed Shaga and Aeolos and confronted the Pope on the stone steps.
"I will bring back those five Saint Seiyas, arrange the rest of the villagers, and please allow me to go and help in the battle."
Even though the purpose is not clear and the method is too drastic, he should be a saint warrior loyal to the Holy Domain.
Aiolos looked at Shaga thoughtfully, and it was because you clearly realized this because you had cleared the siege for him.
"Dingβ"
Before the Pope gave the order, the girl in the curtain held the golden victory scepter in her hand and slowly stood up.
"In the evening of five days, there will be a grand dinner in the Sanctuary, and the Golden Saints will also take a short break from their heavy work."
The girl paused, and the gaze fell on Garon's body beyond the obstruction of the curtain, with anticipation and warmth.
"The Pope and I will pray for you that you will not be late.
Gemini Gold Saint Seiya β Garon"
In the astonished gaze of everyone, Garon bowed his head deeply and responded,
"Do as you command, Lord Athena"
