Chapter 5: Past and Present, Pope (5)
"Jihad, finally ...... It's over. β
"One hundred and eight demon stars in the underworld have all been sealed."
"Athena-samaβ"
The devastated earth is scattered, and the broken garments are scattered,
In this way, we can also rest assured.
later
future
I'll entrust it to you,
Aries
No
Pope β Son
Two hundred and forty-three years later, we must also win and lead the children of the future.
"Tong Hu."
βοΌβ
"Why, did we survive?"
"Maybe it's something that has been predestined for a long time."
Libra stroked the holy clothes, and when he took off his armor, he changed into civilian clothes and put on a hat,
"We still have an unfinished business,
There will be things that only we can do.
That's why we're alive. β
"Really?"
A cold wind with the smell of blood blew up, scraping the folds of the Pope's robes.
I, for two hundred years.
I want to live.
I want to rebuild this sanctuary.
I want to, reorganize - the signs of the zodiac.
I'm also going to knock down Hades, the king of Hades!
As a mortal, accomplish things that ordinary people are not capable of.
Enemies of Hades, who is the highest among the gods.
What do you have to do to win?
"Strength, we have to fight against a strong enemy, if we have more power than the other party, then we can win, right?"
Fighting, you can't rely on brute force to tell the winner, Arudiba.
"Teacher, you have the fighting skills above us, even if you are an enemy of the gods, you will not be at a disadvantage."
No
Mu, when you have seen the methods of God's warfare, you will no longer think so.
Divine power is an existence that can crush mortal combat skills, even if it is a level of power like the Light Speed Fist,
Maybe...... It can only be used as one of the basic conditions for participating in a vicious war.
"Then, if you temper your heart, skills, and body to the extreme, you may be able to get a glimpse of the odds."
Indeed, only by reaching the apex can we be qualified to continue our upward search, Zachar.
Unexpectedly,
Two hundred years have passed,
The sanctuary has been restored to its original state,
The Golden Saint Seiya also settled in the Zodiac.
More importantly,
It has not been seen for two hundred and forty-three years,
Lord Athena.
"Pope, we're going to win, right?"
The girl sat at the top and said nervously.
On either side of the lower position, the twelve Golden Saint Seiyas looked at each other in turn.
"Ah, we'll win."
Even, I haven't found a way to defeat Hades.
The skill of fighting has been honed countless times,
The preparation for the prohibition of drugs has also been repeated for a long time,
Each time, each time it poured its own small universe into the golden holy garment.
Repeat the imagination, predict how the next holy war will begin,
How can we win?
There are more than a million strategies that can be used,
But there is no one that can kill Hades.
yes
Although I don't want to admit it,
But just by me,
Relying only on the Golden Saint Seiya of the Zodiac,
You can't kill Hades.
So what to do?
"Ready to surrender, Sion?"
The old friend asked with a smile,
How can it be......
It's just that
If there is no way to kill the Immortal,
Then all I can do is to weaken him and create a chance for Lord Athena!
It seems that this holy war cannot be terminated by my strategy and strength.
Because the battles of every era will be ended by the warriors who belong to that era, an old man like me who is a former jihad cannot complete the task in their place...... Is it?
It's a shame.
But ah,
In this era, there are still things I can do.
Because I am a remnant of the former holy war,
I am the man who carries the past,
I want to continue this era for them.
Connecting the past with the present is the last thing I can do as a pope!
"Hades, leave your power behind !!"
The spear of light pierced deep into the back and chest of the Immortal, slowly melting like fiery steel, and the warm, fiery cosmic universe came into contact with the dark soul, erupting in a black mist that eroded the floor tiles and the surrounding walls.
This pain,
This anger,
How long has it been since I felt it?
"The Pope's ?!!"
The cold eyes were filled with murderous intent and hatred, and the body of the Hades began to tremble,
In the dense black mist, a large black cocoon emerged and shattered.
In the cracked darkness, six long black wings stretched,
The god in black armor finally showed his true posture,
Even if he was bound by the Nebula Chain and the Array of Light, he still couldn't completely suppress his divine power.
And, with the appearance of the Spirit of God, the Papal Hall became trembling and mourning, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.
That is the true power that belongs to God.
"Want to take away my little universe?"
After the endless fury, it is the taunt of the soul of God,
"If you can do it, give it a try!
With your mutilated body, and with this broken papal room,
Try it, how much power can you take away from me,
Mortal!!! β
Liberate the restrictions and press all the small universes of oneself,
The attack of the gods, who did not hesitate to hurt themselves, pressed the spear of light out of the body little by little,
After the sonorous sound of steel, the reversed light gun flew through the walls of the Papal Chamber.
Until this moment, Shion began to contact the small universe of God,
What kind of level is that......
It is no longer possible to estimate it with sight and sense, it is like the sea, like the abyss,
No
More like ...... The real universe in general,
No matter how much you take from it,
and there was no sign of weakness,
There will only be deeper darkness inside.
The black mist, the black universe dissipated together with the array of light,
However, after a long period of time,
It came to the ears first, but it was not the howl of Hades,
"Kela-",
The piercing cracking sound sounded one after another,
Shi Ang lowered his head,
On the blood-red chest, cracks covered the surface of the golden holy clothes,
How...... Possible?
One of the twelve golden garments at the apex of the eighty-eight sacred garments,
The Aries golden holy clothes can't even maintain the formation..... Broken to this point?!
"Ahem-",
Blood droplets splashed, and the body's strength was greatly attenuated.
Damn it
The time the ban buys ...... Is it almost there too?
Damn,
Me, am I wrong?
This body, this garment,
Is there no way to ban the power of the Immortal?!
"You're old, mortal.
Whether it's life, or the small universe.
Even if he relied on the power of medicine for a short period of recovery, two hundred years of life could not fight against the divine power after all.
This battle, it will be me who wins,
Pope!!! β
With God's judgment,
The walls of the Pope's Room, which had been struggling to support, had hundreds of cracks, and after a large number of light particles were consumed, the formation also became dim.
The mechanism is exhausted, but I didn't expect that I could only eliminate the small universe of God.
Hereunto..... Finished?
Shion's body became blurred,
He raised his head unwillingly,
Above his head was the cold light of God's eyes,
Just like the holy war two hundred and forty-three years ago.
The remnants of the light became dazzling,
Both Shi Ang and Hades knew that this was the final strength of the formation.
After this battle,
The Sanctuary is truly dead!
Is it
I, as the Pope, as human beings,
It's over.
"At least, finallyβ"
After the bright light, the chains that bound the Immortal disintegrated, reassembled into pink armor, and slowly landed.
"Hmph, do you want to separate that mortal's soul with the last of your strength?"
On a huge black spirit,
Hades sneered, and he watched as the bronze robe slowly disappeared into view, not caring where it went.
Even if you disdain, you can't.
Without the hindrance of the soul,
This body can be used freely.
But it's really draining some of my strength, Pope?
The array of light disappeared completely,
The soul of the god enveloped the body and gradually descended.
[What a mess, Aries.] γ
βοΌβ
His vision recovered,
The place where he was standing at the moment was both familiar and unfamiliar.
First house, the entrance to the House of Aries.
[Sure enough, only you and Tong Hu are left, so we can't rest assured.] γ
Footsteps came, in the darkness,
The light and shadow became clear.
"How come, the zodiac has obviously been Hades-"
[Don't listen to his nonsense, Aries.] γ
[Ah, that's right, we're seeing it very clearly here.] γ
[You're doing a great job.] γ
[All along, thank you for your hard work. γ
One familiar voice after another, the one who shouldn't have existed,
The life that died in the fierce battle of 243 years ago,
Unexpectedlyβ
"You ..... It's not already ......"
"Our bodies are gone, and so are our soulsβ
It's just that, relying on the power of the Sanctuary,
We've had a limited amount of time,
The small universe left behind when he was stationed in the 12 houses is still preserved. β
"After the destruction of the zodiac with the power of Hades, our power was able to break free, and for this-"
"We're here to see you one last time."
[You still have a mission that must be completed, right? γ
Standing in the former comrades-in-arms, there seemed to be still a trace of dissatisfaction in their blurred faces,
[Now is not the time to indulge in sorrow. γ
"Ah, indeed."
[So. γ
[We have given you the last of our strength. γ
[Since the age of mythology, the power of the 12 signs of the Sanctuary. γ
Lives lost in the vicious war,
A long-cherished wish that we have not been able to fulfill.
Two hundred and forty-three years of regret,
Two hundred and forty-three years of suffering,
Two hundred and forty-three years of power,
[Here is a small universe of the past, in order to continue this era! ] γ
They stretched out their fists, and the particles soaked in the small universe of light all clung to the torn golden holy clothes.
"Bring our era to an end, Pope.
For the children of the future! β
In the great hall that lost its light, the soul of God noticed the man in torn armor,
He pierced the soul of God with an unpleasant pace,
"Hmm-",
Hades stretched out his hand and pressed it to his chest in amazement,
There, there is a starlight remaining,
With it as the center, two light tracks stretched out, cutting wounds in the soul of God,
"This ...... Power ......."
It wasn't until twelve points of light were left that the slender line stopped expanding.
This pattern quickly awakened Hades's cognition,
Yes,
This is - destroyed by his own hands......
"For the last time,
See you again, Hades. β
[Two hundred and forty-three years ago, the colors of the zodiac! γ
"Wow, aa
The black spirit body was split in half, and half of the small universe evaporated in the light streaks.
With a roar, the entire Pope's Hall collapsed and was annihilated.
Only two figures remained,
The black-clothed Hades held his hands on the ground and looked at the fading golden figure in front of him with disgust.
It's a pity that there is no way to see the end,
But you'll win,
Lord Athena.
He slowly tilted his head and looked into the depths of the night sky.
"Tomorrow, it's going to be a good day."
The thin wind took away his voice,
Peel off the blood-red, golden robe.
