Chapter 362: The Identity of the False Pope (2nd Watch)
"It turns out that I really am Athena, and what my grandfather said when I was a child was not a joke.
No wonder he always said let me lead everyone to defeat evil and protect humanity! ”
At this time, Saori Shiroto was only a preliminary awakening, and she did not completely become Athena, and after the awakening, she became the powerless eldest lady.
However, as she slowly adapts, she will gradually grasp the power of Athena, and eventually become the real Athena.
No way, if she had grown up in the Sanctuary back then, it is estimated that she would have mastered Athena's small universe under the guidance of the old Pope, but unfortunately she had just awakened today.
"Sharna, Duradis, as a saint warrior, you dare to be an enemy of Athena, you can be convicted!"
Li Chuan, who was wearing a golden holy robe, turned to look at Sharna and the others, and reprimanded in a stern tone.
Sharna and the others hurriedly knelt on one knee:
"We are ignorant and deceived by the Pope, and we do not want to betray Athena, but I also ask Athena to forgive us and other crimes, so that I can make meritorious contributions to our crimes."
At this moment, they were already convinced in their hearts that the Joto Saori in front of them was the reincarnation of Athena.
Athena stepped forward and said softly:
"As long as you can truly repent, you will still be the most loyal Saint Seiya under my command."
"Very good, if it goes on like this, it will be easy to break into the zodiac."
Seeing this, Li Chuan nodded with satisfaction.
In the past, he only injured the enemy and did not kill the enemy, just to be able to transfer all these saint seiyas to this side and expand his own advantage.
Why can the Holy Realm always win in previous holy wars and win against all forces?
It's not because of how strong Athena's strength is, but because the Saint Seiya under her command is strong, combined with her support, healing, enhancement and other bonuses.
And why is this holy war fought so hard, every time something happens, it is a life of nine deaths, and the difference in strength is very large.
The main reason is that after the Chaos in Sacha, a large number of Saint Seiya died due to infighting, and their strength was greatly weakened.
Most of the Silver Saint Seiya's strength is not strong, but some abilities are still very outstanding, for example, he remembers that there was a Silver Saint Seiya who had a petrification ability similar to Medusa.
And if these saint warriors are alive, their strength may be improved even more when they are in the holy war, and some of them are even in the battle because of Athena's blessing, and it is not impossible to comprehend the seventh sense.
Just like Seiya, these bronze saints.
As long as you don't get killed by your own people in advance, with the god-level assistance of Athena, everything is possible.
Li Chuan felt that since he had now become a Sagittarius Saint Seiya, he must expand the strength of Athena's group, so that he could safely obtain enough benefits.
So his idea was that the Sanctuary would send the Saint Seiya over, then take one by one, and transform them all into Athena's camp.
If you encounter those who are brainless, they will be imprisoned first, and when the Sacha rebellion is over and Athena's identity is completely recognized, she will be released for punishment.
But they definitely can't be killed, these are good hands against other forces in the future.
"Tell me all you know!"
After the dust settled, Li Chuan stepped forward to treat the injuries of Duradis and the others, and began to ask for the corresponding information.
And this time, Sharna and Duradis and others no longer hid it, and told all the information they knew.
"Seiya, Li Chuan, from the day after you left the Sanctuary, Pope Shion of the Sanctuary died suddenly, and before he died, he passed the position of Pope to his younger brother Alex, and from that day on, the Sanctuary began to be different."
Sharna said slowly:
"The originally harmonious Sanctuary has become extremely cruel under the rule of Alex, and many reservists die every day due to cruel training.
Under the orders of Chief of Staff Kigas, many Saint Seiya were sent to carry out some adjudication missions, adjudicating small countries that did not obey the orders of the Sanctuary to ship large amounts of gold back to the Sanctuary"
"But the Pope didn't betray him thirteen years ago, why is it just starting now?"
Seiya raised his doubts.
Li Chuan replied directly:
"The Pope has been in charge of the Sanctuary for more than 200 years and is highly respected by everyone, and it was unreasonable to suddenly assassinate Miss Saori thirteen years ago, so it is still uncertain whether the Pope Thirteen years ago was Pope Son or not.
If Pope Son had been impersonated by someone else thirteen years ago, then in order not to be discovered, he might have continued Pope Sion's style of acting in the open and secretly cultivated his own power.
Now he may have felt that he had mastered the Sanctuary, and he had learned the news that Athena was still alive through the Galactic Competition, so he suddenly made such a show.
Have you ever seen what the Pope looks like? ”
Through reasonable reasoning and speculation, he told the truth of the facts.
Charna and Duradis glanced at each other and replied:
"No, I saw Pope Sion a few times when I was a child, he was a very kind old man, but after the rebellion of Aeolos thirteen years ago, he always wore the papal mask, and it is said that no one has ever seen him again.
Oh, by the way, I've heard that some of his personal attendants who wear him are often executed for various crimes. ”
Hearing the two of them say this, everyone suddenly felt that Li Chuan's guess suddenly became more reasonable.
Obviously, those personal attendants were killed by accidentally seeing the true face of the Pope.
"Then who the hell could kill Pope Sion?"
Binghe frowned.
"Could it be related to jihad?"
The instant return that had just finished hugging his resurrected brother Ikki.
"I heard Master say that every few hundred years, when evil befalls the world, Athena will be reincarnated in the world and launch a holy war with a righteous saint warrior to drive out the evil."
"But the objects of the legendary holy war are all from the underworld, even if they have the strength to kill Pope Sion, how can they be so perfect and pretend to be the Pope for so many years without being discovered."
Kazuki shook his head and vetoed his brother's speculation.
"So could it be Alex, who is the younger brother of Pope Sion, who knows all the habits of the Pope, and the Pope is also defenseless against him, killing the Pope, who replaced the Pope for thirteen years, and now pretends to pass on himself and officially obtains the rights of the Pope."
Zilong gave his own guess in reason.
And as soon as this speculation came out, it was immediately unanimously recognized by everyone, because only this explanation is the most reasonable.
Only Li Chuan knows that this is not the case.
The real assassination of Shion was Gemini Sachar, not Alex, who had also been killed by Saga thirteen years earlier.
In fact, the root is not in Sachar, but the root is similar to what Instant said, it is on the side of Hades.
Gemini is generally one and two-sided, but it does not mean that a person has two personalities, but that twins can inherit this golden holy garment.
So Zaga also has a younger brother Garon who looks exactly like him and has similar strength.
