Saint Seiya: The Multiverse Libra Gold Saint

Chapter 66: SS 66: Medusa and the Deep Sea Kraken



Through divine connection, Kaiser's consciousness materialized in Athena's space.

"What's wrong?"

Kaiser looked at Athena.

Lately, he visited this space often to chat with her, whether for matters big or small.

Their bond had visibly grown.

At least in Kaiser's presence, Athena was no longer the lofty goddess.

They were more like friends now.

Kaiser knew Athena wouldn't call him at this time unless something was amiss.

"I sensed Medusa's presence."

"It seems Poseidon has awakened her."

Athena's expression darkened.

This was a humiliation for her.

Her priestess had been violated by Poseidon.

"Medusa?"

"The priestess you cursed in legend?"

Kaiser was surprised.

He hadn't expected Poseidon to awaken her.

"It's a long story, but essentially, it was Poseidon's revenge against me."

"To save her life, I had no choice but to curse her."

"Otherwise, Medusa would have died."

"But back then, I didn't realize…"

"For some mortals, certain fates are worse than death."

Athena sighed helplessly.

In the mythological era, her priestesses had to remain pure.

Poseidon exploited this to spite her.

She had to either execute Medusa or curse her.

Athena chose the latter.

But the outcome wasn't ideal.

For Medusa, becoming a monster was no different from a fate worse than death.

Moreover, due to Athena's divine power, Medusa gained certain abilities.

Her most notable trait was her petrifying gaze.

Anyone who met her eyes would turn to stone.

"She now harbors deep resentment toward the Sanctuary and me."

"With my curse and Poseidon's divine power, her strength is likely formidable."

"You'd better be cautious and not underestimate her."

Athena said with a hint of worry.

Since Kaiser arrived in Asgard, Athena had sensed numerous powerful Cosmos.

Though they might not be formidable to her, they were undoubtedly formidable foes for Kaiser.

"I understand."

"Could a mere Medusa reach the Ninth Sense?"

"At most, she's Eighth Sense."

Kaiser wasn't particularly worried about Medusa.

His real concern lay with the Norse evil gods.

This land had always been coveted by various malevolent deities.

Kaiser's instincts told him the situation here was complex.

It was possible Poseidon was deliberately luring the Sanctuary's forces to this icy plain.

The goal, as Poseidon claimed, might be to weaken the Sanctuary's strength.

"No, Medusa is, at her core, a Golden Human from the Mythological Era."

"How else could she have become my priestess?"

"Capable of bearing the curse of divine power?"

"Don't underestimate her."

Athena cautioned.

"I've already established a preliminary link with you for the God-Slaying Power."

"But to fully transfer it, we must wait for Pegasus's birth."

"So you cannot die."

"But there's a backup plan."

"You can borrow Odin's God Robe if necessary."

Athena and Odin had a decent relationship.

In the Mythological Era, Athena was likely a candidate for the next divine ruler of the heavens.

Few in the divine realm could match her.

Even now, Athena remained formidable.

"I understand."

Kaiser nodded.

A Golden Human from the Mythological Era.

Kaiser was curious to face her.

As for the God-Slaying Power, it wasn't yet usable.

Not only was it incomplete, but even if it were, Kaiser wouldn't dare use it now.

With Athena absent, wielding the God-Slaying Power would make him a target for divine judgment.

His consciousness returned to his body, and Kaiser gazed toward the deep sea.

"That's the Cosmo?"

"It's not even trying to hide."

"Medusa…"

Kaiser sensed the chaotic Cosmo, a turbulent mix.

It carried Poseidon's aura, Athena's aura, and a human essence.

Such a chaotic blend made it understandable if Medusa had lost her sanity.

Living like this, worse than death, it would've been kinder to be killed outright.

In the sea realm… in Poseidon's Temple…

"Poseidon!!"

"Show yourself!"

Medusa's roar echoed through the ocean depths.

The Seven Generals of the sea realm were gathered here.

But their expressions were grim.

They were no match for Medusa.

Forced to cower within their barrier.

"Medusa!"

"Don't forget, it was Lord Poseidon who awakened you, giving you this chance for revenge!"

The Sea Dragon stepped forward, steeling himself.

But he avoided meeting Medusa's eyes.

The barrier couldn't block her gaze.

"Heh, so I should thank him?"

Medusa's smile was ferocious.

Her writhing snakes for hair moved wildly, an eerie sight.

Her face alone was breathtakingly beautiful.

But her serpentine body and writhing snakes made her terrifyingly grotesque.

"Lord Poseidon is still slumbering. He won't see you."

"We've awakened the Deep Sea Kraken."

"A Sanctuary Saint, blessed with Athena's divine blood, is currently in the northern ice plains."

"This is your chance for revenge."

"He's highly favored by Athena."

The Sea Dragon took a deep breath and responded.

Behind Medusa, a massive figure emerged.

Its height exceeded a hundred meters.

A mountain-like form moved through the ocean depths.

Its terrifying, grotesque appearance sent chills down the spine.

"Heh heh heh!!"

"You just want me to be your weapon."

"Why not let me die in the Mythological Era?!"

"The gods!!"

Medusa's face twisted in agony.

Her hatred for the gods could no longer be contained.

Her serpent tail lashed at the barrier.

The ocean floor's barrier began to rumble.

A hum resonated.

Poseidon's Cosmo stirred.

"Medusa."

A divine voice descended, and the frenzied Medusa froze, as if sensing a predator.

Memories flooded back.

"Poseidon!!"

Medusa roared, her serpentine body writhing violently.

"Do you wish to return to that lightless seal?"

Poseidon's voice was calm.

A mere human meant nothing to him.

"No… I don't…"

Medusa seemed triggered.

After enduring endless chaos and darkness, her mind bore deep scars.

"Go. If you can slay the Sanctuary's Gold Saint, I'll lift your curse."

"You'll return to a normal human life."

Poseidon's words dripped with temptation.

Medusa's eyes lit up.

"Fine!"

Swayed by the promise of normalcy, Medusa agreed to Poseidon's deal.

The Deep Sea Kraken behind her slowly lowered its raised hands.

"Phew."

As Medusa's figure receded, the Seven Generals sighed in relief.

Her chaotic divine power had been oppressive.

"Go."

"Kill the Gold Saint in Asgard."

Poseidon's voice echoed in the Kraken's mind.

The Kraken's massive form vanished into the ocean depths.

Kaiser was unaware of the sea realm's movements.

But he sensed the Cosmos approaching Asgard.

"Two of them?"

"They think highly of me."

Standing atop Asgard's highest point, Kaiser looked toward the deep sea.

"They're coming."

Siegfried also sensed the Cosmos closing in on Asgard.

Unstable, yet powerful.

"This battle has nothing to do with Asgard."

"The sea realm won't interfere either."

"Stay within Asgard's walls."

With that, Kaiser soared out of Asgard's domain.

"So confident?"

Siegfried watched as Kaiser transformed into a streak of light.

His eyes flickered.

Though he'd heard of Kaiser's feats, during his time in Asgard, Kaiser hadn't displayed his full power.

Siegfried had no idea how strong Kaiser truly was.

He could only sense an extraordinary presence from the faint pressure Kaiser exuded.

The streak of light stopped near the sea.

Kaiser's figure emerged.

The Aries Golden Cloth was now donned.

"It does feel a bit off."

"Even though it's a Golden Cloth."

Sensing the Aries Cloth's enhancement, Kaiser frowned slightly.

But it wasn't a significant issue.

His gaze turned to the deep sea.

He could vaguely make out dark shapes stirring.

A loud crash erupted.

The sea surface surged with massive waves.

The roars of a serpent and a beast echoed.

Visible sound waves spread outward.

Shattering the surrounding glaciers.

"As expected of creatures surviving since the Mythological Era."

"They both possess Eighth Sense strength."

Kaiser was somewhat surprised.

Medusa aside, though a Golden Human, her years of torment had pushed her to barely reach the Eighth Sense, bolstered by Athena's curse and Poseidon's Cosmo.

The Deep Sea Kraken, however, hovered at the edge of the Eighth Sense.

Its strength likely forcibly enhanced.

Not weak by any means.

"It's you?!"

"It's you, isn't it!"

"I'll kill you!"

Seeing the radiant Golden Cloth and sensing Athena's divine blood, Medusa descended into madness.

Her massive serpentine body shot skyward.

Scales morphed into specialized armor.

Fully transformed into a serpent, Medusa's body was enormous.

Nearly ten meters long from head to tail.

No trace of humanity remained.

"Can't look into her eyes?"

Kaiser closed his eyes.

His divine vision granted a 360-degree view.

He didn't need to rely on his physical eyes.

Medusa's petrifying ability was conceptual.

Eye contact, even with a god, meant petrification.

But without eye contact, she was powerless.

"Get lost!"

Kaiser flashed forward, landing a punch.

It struck Medusa's chest dead-on!

A boom resounded.

Medusa's massive form crashed into the glacier.

Kaiser's punch seemed to deepen her mental chaos.

"Goddess, why did you abandon me?"

Tears fell as she spoke.

Her Cosmo grew increasingly volatile.

Her serpentine body thrashed wildly.

The Deep Sea Kraken fully emerged from the sea, revealing its true form.

Its hundred-meter-tall frame was overwhelmingly imposing.

"Such monsters…"

In Asgard, the God Warriors watched the battlefield.

The pressure of the Eighth Sense and divinity made them clench their fists.

"These two creatures."

"They're enough to destroy Asgard."

"Unless the divine God Warriors descend."

The Alioth God Warrior said helplessly.

Siegfried, as if deaf to the words, stared intently at the distance.

Three Cosmos clashed, boiling with intensity.

But Kaiser's Cosmo shone the brightest.

"Did Poseidon send just you two weaklings?"

Kaiser eyed the Kraken and Medusa.

Though powerful, they were no match for him.

Kaiser kept his guard up, sensing something amiss.

"Goddess!"

Medusa roared again, charging at Kaiser.

"Then let's fight on the earth."

Kaiser landed on the ice plain, feet planted firmly.

The Kraken let out a bellow.

Its near-Eighth Sense Cosmo surged.

Its massive fists descended.

Like meteors crashing to earth.

The immense wind pressure cracked the ice plain.

"Well done!"

Kaiser didn't dodge, meeting it with a punch!

Their fists, disproportionate in size, collided.

The outcome was unexpected.

The Kraken let out a wail.

Its massive form was forced back by overwhelming force, staggering.

Kaiser leaped, dodging Medusa's attack.

He slammed back to the ground.

Pinning Medusa's tail underfoot.

"Ah!"

Medusa let out a pained shriek.

Against two mythical creatures, Kaiser's power was utterly dominant.

"So strong?"

"No wonder he defeated the Hydra."

The sea realm's forces observed the battle.

Ready to strike if an opportunity arose.

No matter how strong, Kaiser was still human.

Even with divine blood, severe wounds could kill him.

"Lightning Plasma!"

Fist light erupted!

Kaiser unleashed a punch.

The radiance illuminated the ice plain.

Engulfing Medusa and the Kraken.

"Ah!!!"

Countless fist strikes rained down.

The Kraken and Medusa were blasted back into the sea.

Creating a dazzling spray of water.

"Is this the power of divine blood?"

Watching the one-sided battle, the Seven Generals of the sea realm held their breath.

They attributed Kaiser's strength to Athena's divine blood.

After all, the previous Aquarius, Krestor, was formidable for the same reason.

"Hm?"

Kaiser sensed something off.

The Cosmos of the Deep Sea Kraken and Medusa showed no signs of weakening.

Instead, they were steadily growing stronger.

"Interesting."

"That old schemer, Poseidon."

In the depths of the sea, Poseidon's Cosmo continued to pulse.

Though sealed by Athena, as a main god, he could easily empower two mere Eighth Sense beings.

As expected, under Poseidon's Cosmo, the Kraken and Medusa rose from the sea once more.

"Oh?"

"They've stabilized?"

Kaiser observed the Kraken and Medusa with interest.

Their Eighth Sense Cosmos had settled, reaching a stable state.

"Let's see how much difference there is between the Sea King and Hades."

Kaiser's fighting spirit ignited.

His Eighth Sense Cosmo surged, carrying the weight of divine blood.

In that moment, Kaiser seemed to become the center of the world.

A massive pressure descended.

"This is… a Sanctuary Gold Saint?"

The God Warriors watching from Asgard were awestruck.

It was as if the sun had descended to earth.

Kaiser's burning Cosmo illuminated the entire northern ice plain.

Like a god descending to the mortal realm.

"Roar!"

The Kraken bellowed, its massive body charging forward.

The sea surged with towering waves, threatening to flood the land.

"Crystal Wall!"

Kaiser raised his hand.

A crystalline barrier materialized.

The Kraken slammed into it.

The immense impact warped the Crystal Wall.

A hum resonated.

But the Kraken was repelled by the recoil.

Medusa's serpentine form began frantically assaulting the Crystal Wall.

"Still not making a move?"

"They're waiting for me to tire out."

Kaiser sensed a faint danger.
