Chapter 31: The Way of Sinners

Under the majestic statue, Gemini clasped one knee on the ground,

"Athena, I have a request for Garon, and I hope you will grant it."

He raised his head, and his lake-like eyes were calm without a trace of waves,

"After this battle, the time for the Pope's awakening is approaching, and the Pope's condemnation will be thereβ€”",

"I understand, I'll make it clear to him about the troubles of the zodiac."

"No, I mean...... Please don't make any superfluous explanations and put all the blame on me. ”

β€œοΌŸοΌβ€

"This fight can solve all the hidden dangers at once, and ending with me as the end is the most appropriate choice."

Garon said slowly,

"The emergence of the truth will only have a superfluous impact on the Golden Saint Seiya's state of mind, and at that time, my efforts to expel the distractions of the Zodiac will be in vain."

The confusion, confusion, negativity, and self-blame of the Golden Saint Seiya.

Through this battle, it will all turn into anger against one person, and identification with Athena and the Sanctuary.

"In addition-",

Garon paused for a moment, "If I can get away with it, there's a place I have to go." ”

"Where must we go?" Athena was puzzled,

The 12 signs of the Sanctuary, there should be no place to restrict the Golden Saint Seiya.

Even if there were, the power of the pope through Sachardai should be passable.

Where you have to go, but can't go,

"Garon, do you mean...... Do you want to ......",

Athena looked at Garon in surprise, hoping she had guessed wrong.

But the other party's determined eyes told him that the answer in his heart was undoubtedly correct.

"Actually, I'm not very sure about it, if you really mind-",

For a long time, Garon, who had not received an answer, hesitated,

His palms were gently held,

Confused Gemini looks at the girl,

At this moment, the goddess of war was dressed in a simple plain white dress, and a faint fluorescence drifted from her body, all converging on Garon's palm.

"Garon, the road ahead has been bumpy, but I believe your heart has never been clouded.

As the Golden Saint Seiya of the Zodiac of the Sanctuary, I will not hold you accountable for your sins, nor will I ask you again for reasons for doing so.

Here, in the name of the goddess of war, I grant your request.

And according to the original agreement, I will give you and my blessings. ”

Little by little, the particles of light melted into Garon's body,

"What is this?"

"It's not quite yet, but I'm sure it will be able to protect you in my place at the right time."

The girl said slowly, looking at Garon seriously.

"So, please promise me too.

Certain...... To come back here, to come back to me. ”

======================================

"Manipulate Zachar and Aeolos with his magic fist, disrupt the zodiac, and attempt to kill the gods."

After waking up, Shi Ang gently rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and a few green tendons loomed on his arms.

"Is there anything else you would like to add to what Garon has done?"

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly.

"The blame cannot be entirely placed on Garon alone, the plan ..... It is carried out with our approval. ”

In the main hall of the Pope's Hall, Mu said apologetically,

"Fortunately, the configuration of the Zodiac is finally in good condition, His Highness the Pope-"

Arudiba's words were stopped by Shi Ang's cold eyes, and there was no way to continue.

"We have committed a great sin against Athena."

"Ask the Pope to punish him accordingly."

Shura and Ka Miao continued,

"I'm so sorry I couldn't take good care of the zodiac while you're recuperating."

"It's us who are being too reckless."

Aeolos and Aioria bent down to plead guilty, and Miro on the other side also knelt down.

Shion narrowed his eyes, knuckles rhythmically tapping on the armrest.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that the people of the Golden Saint Seiya are always subconsciously avoiding discussing someone.

"What you have done will be judged later, but I would like to judge the first evil for now.

Since Athena's arrival in the Sanctuary, the Sanctuary has abolished punishment that was too harsh.

But the sins of some are too great, and you ...... Any good suggestions? ”

The Golden Saint Seiyas looked at each other, and finally Mu spoke,

"It's already a miracle that he was able to survive that fight, even if he is left alone, he will not be able to recover the power of the Golden Saint Seiya, and may not even be able to recover for the rest of his life.

If there is a punishment, it should be considered capital punishment. ”

β€œ...... Is it? ”

Shi Ang said lightly, his stern gaze swept over several Golden Saint Seiyas, but none of them received a response.

Indeed, time is running out nowadays, and nothing can be undone by pursuing the crimes of a wasted person.

"So...... Tong Hu, what is your opinion? ”

The old Golden Saint Seiya slowly stood up,

β€œ......”

"Why, did she become like this?"

The fainting girl lay in his arms, the child tiger in the Libra Palace frowned, and the small universe climbed step by step.

"Garon!"

"I guess my brother attacked him."

"Zachar?"

Tong Hu was surprised, "How is it possible? ”

"Nothing is impossible, there are too many secrets in the Sanctuary that even older generations like you don't know."

Garon put the maiden on the ground,

"I just used my magic fist to control Aiolos and find her whereabouts.

Luckily she's still alive, and I'll hand her over to you now, Tong Hu. ”

Magic Fist?! Tong Hu vaguely felt that something was wrong,

"Garon, you shouldn't ......",

"Ah, you guessed it, I've teamed up with Zachar and have complete control of the zodiac."

"You guys?!"

"Well, don't put on that horrible face." Garon shrugged, "It's your responsibility to take good care of this girl, leave the rest alone." ”

Libra's holy clothes appeared behind Tong Hu,

"Leave it alone? You have done such a rebellious thing, if I let it go any longer, how can I still be regarded as a Golden Saint Seiya?! ”

"So what do you want?"

Garon asked with his hands around his chest.

"Now that Zachar and Aiolos have entered the evil path, with their influence and control, you don't think that killing me here will make all the difference, right?"

β€œ.......”

"I know your strength is very strong, but even if you recapture the Zodiac, how many Golden Saint Seiyas will be left at that time, six..... Heptad? ”

Tong Hu's brows furrowed more and more, indeed ...... Even if the power of its heyday was against Sagar and Aiolos at the same time, as well as the other undetermined Golden Saints, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Seeing the appearance of Libra, Garon sighed,

"Teacher, you are indeed more suitable to be a warrior.

I'll take care of the rest, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

"You?!"

"You don't have any other choice, trust me, the zodiac may have a silver lining.

Otherwise, without waiting for the Hades to attack, the Sanctuary will fall from within. ”

"Garon, what the hell are you thinking? What the hell are youβ€”"

Gemini looked directly into Tong Hu's eyes,

"I'm the Gemini Gold Saint, Garon.

It was, it is, and it will be. ”

These eyes...... This look, Tong Hu can clearly remember,

At that time in the Papal Chamber, he was also like this, making a promise to Athena and the Pope.

[It doesn't matter if you don't have holy clothes, I want to participate in this holy war.

I will...... Crush Hades' garment with your own hands! 】

"I see, I hope you remember what you said."

This may be the last big gamble in his life, Tong Hu said silently.

"When the little girl wakes up, tell her.

If you want to reclaim the zodiac, come to the Papal Room.

There, there is the answer to the betrayal of the Golden Saint Seiya. ”

Garon turned around and put on the helmet of Gemini,

"Finally, once this rebellion is over, the Pope will have to settle the guilt."

"Do you want me to intercede for you?"

Tong Hu sneered and asked.

"No, I want you to convince the Pope to impose the heaviest punishment on me!"

The Gemini's helmet hides the gloomy face, and only a pair of clear eyes shine with golden brilliance.

I don't understand what you're trying to do, but as you say..... The troubles of the zodiac have been pacified.

So, it's time for me to deliver on my promises.

"Trouble the zodiac, provoke the Golden Saint Seiya infighting, and try to harm Athena."

Tong Hu said indifferently,

"This kind of crime is hard to culpable.

There is nothing to justify, so let's punish it severely. ”

Shi Ang sighed softly, as if he had reacquainted himself with an old friend.

The heaviest punishment in the sanctuary,

It's ......

"Are you going to send him to that place?"

Shi Ang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the girl behind the curtain,

"Athena-sama?"

[Garon, you promised me..... Will definitely live. 】

The girl clenched her fists and finally nodded.

"I see."

Shion thought about it for a moment, then finally stood up and began to read out the final judgment.

The heaviest punishment in the Sanctuary is a capital punishment that only a Saint Seiya who tries to do things against Athena will be sentenced to.

At the same time, the cage that requires the consent of Athena, the Pope, and the Libra Gold Saint Seiya to collect all three keys to open.

The Saint Seiya imprisoned there will be deprived of all honor, all past, and suppress the small universe to the greatest extent,

There is no escape, there is no life, even the strongest warrior will die in three days, one of the three great rock prisons.

The 'Divine Prison' under the back cliff of the Sacred Zodiac.

"There are three places that meet the requirements, but the other two have been destroyed in battle, it seems that the place where you are hiding in this era is different from what I remember?"

Galleon closed the book,

"The divine prison under the Twelve Palaces of the Sacred Realm, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

[Hopefully my guess is correct.] 】

The door of the Barrier Guardian opened, and his body was thrown into the bottomless darkness,

After several bumps, it finally slowly sank into the water of the dungeon.

His eyes were still not open, leaning against the smooth rock wall like a dead man.

Rise from the ashes

To you,

To me,

It's the same in the Sanctuary.

The final showdown is about to begin,

I can't sit back and watch you sleep peacefully.

Neptune...... Poseidon!
