Saint Seiya: The Multiverse Libra Gold Saint

Chapter 46: SS 46: Abandoned Holy War?



Time passed, and the world outside moved swiftly. The situation on earth shifted rapidly.

All 108 Specters had awakened.

Hades' soul had successfully manifested in his reincarnation.

A handsome face bore an indifferent expression.

"This body… is in such poor condition?"

"That Hydra creature."

"Heracles should have burned it to ashes back then."

Hades' brow furrowed.

Though his cosmos' divine power was healing it, the Hydra's venom was irreversible.

This body was in terrible shape.

A full tier below the vessels of past Holy Wars.

A decisive gap.

Moreover, he sensed Athena's cosmos in the Sanctuary.

Unlike him, Athena was in peak condition.

Her fighting spirit was ablaze.

Since the Mythological Era, he had never seen her so fervent.

"Has something changed in the Sanctuary?"

Hades frowned.

"Hypnos, Thanatos."

Hades' voice echoed in the minds of the Twin Gods.

"Lord Hades."

Hearing his call, the Twin Gods appeared before him instantly.

"This Holy War is no longer about winning."

"Do everything in your power to deplete the Sanctuary's forces."

"Prepare for the next Holy War."

Hades issued his command.

"The next Holy War?"

A glint of understanding flashed in Hypnos' eyes.

With Hades' vessel compromised, their chances this time were slim.

The Underworld's forces hadn't fully awakened either.

He understood Hades' intent.

The next Holy War would be their all-or-nothing gambit.

To crush the Sanctuary completely.

"In the next Holy War, the Palace of the Stars and all gods under the Underworld will awaken."

"And a uniquely powerful figure will temporarily align with us."

"We must claim the earth!"

A sharp edge gleamed in Hades' eyes.

"For this Holy War, your goal is to kill Golden Saints."

"I don't care how you do it... just weaken the Sanctuary as much as possible."

Hades' voice was resolute.

"Yes, Lord Hades."

The Twin Gods replied.

They hadn't planned to engage in this Holy War so soon.

But now, it seemed they had no choice.

Strictly speaking, the Underworld was the mortal enemy of all life on earth.

That didn't mean cooperation was impossible.

After all, Poseidon and Hades were brothers.

With the right concessions, Athena wouldn't stand a chance.

"Inform the Terrestrial Star Specters."

"Have them hunt down Bronze and Silver Saints."

"As for the Golden Saints, leave them to the Celestial Stars."

Hypnos approached Pandora, issuing his orders.

"Yes, Lord Hypnos."

As the commander of the Underworld's forces, Pandora was no weakling.

This wasn't the Pandora of the Saint Seiya era, bound by the same fate as her Mythological counterpart.

Wielding the Staff of Hades, her strength was formidable.

In the Sanctuary.

"What is the Underworld up to?"

Saga examined the battle report.

His eyes were grave.

The entire Sanctuary knew the Holy War had begun.

Hades' reincarnation had awakened.

The Twin Gods had descended upon the world.

Yet the Underworld showed no intent to attack the Sanctuary.

Instead, they were hunting Saints across the globe.

Bronze and Silver Saints scattered abroad had been ambushed.

Some powerful warriors had fallen.

"Recall all Saints to the Sanctuary."

"This Holy War feels off."

"The Underworld seems to be deliberately draining our forces."

Shion looked at Saga with a serious expression.

"Saga, summon all Saints back to the Sanctuary."

"If Golden Saints must leave, they travel in groups of three."

"And they're permitted to use forbidden techniques."

"Also, have Kaiser come to me."

Athena stood beneath her statue, her eyes gazing over the earth.

Her voice echoed in Saga's mind.

"Yes, I understand."

Saga didn't question Athena's orders.

He and Shion had brought her back.

Having watched her grow on this earth, they knew how resolute her mind was.

She must have a plan.

"Is Kaiser still not out?"

"He's been in the Weapon Sanctuary for at least two months, hasn't he?"

Saga glanced at the Libra Temple's companion space.

A golden cosmos enveloped it.

Kaiser's cosmos.

It had been burning relentlessly for over two months.

Illuminating the Sanctuary's nights.

Its overwhelming power awed even the Golden Saints.

He was inhumanly strong.

"I'll notify him."

Shion said.

When Shion reached the Libra Temple, he felt the sheer magnitude of that cosmos.

Burning uninterrupted for over two months.

Its strength was daunting.

"Kaiser! Athena wishes to see you!"

Shion's voice, infused with his cosmos, pierced the spatial barrier to reach Kaiser's ears.

"Athena?"

The golden cosmos slowly receded.

Until it fully merged back into Kaiser's body.

After months of training, Kaiser had perfectly integrated with Divine Sight.

His domain technique had taken preliminary shape.

His combat prowess had risen another step since months ago.

"The Holy War has begun?"

Kaiser stepped out of the Weapon Sanctuary.

He saw Shion standing in the Libra Temple.

Though in seclusion, he was aware of the passage of time.

"More or less. The Underworld's 108 Specters have fully awakened."

"But for now, they show no intent to clash directly with the Sanctuary."

"Instead, they're hunting Bronze and Silver Saints on the outskirts."

Shion spoke, his face full of confusion.

He couldn't fathom what the Underworld was planning.
