Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 874 Gold Saints? Who isn't?
“Aphrodite, Deathmask, you follow behind them.”

If they fail, you should step in and bring back Saori Kido and the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.

Remember, Saori Kido is more important than the Sagittarius Gold Cloth. If anything unexpected happens, capture Saori Kido first!

Saga gave instructions to the two Gold Saints.

In the Sanctuary today, only Pisces and Cancer are the only Gold Saints who truly know the truth of what happened back then and who are loyal to him because of his power.

The other Saints were either unaware of the truth and were deceived by him, or they had doubts but no evidence.

Therefore, he was not worried that the two would be persuaded to betray him after they learned that Kido Saori was Athena.

Instead of sending two people directly to complete the mission, the Silver Saints were sent first to prevent the other Gold Saints, who were already suspicious, from noticing anything amiss.

After all, deploying two Gold Saints at once is no small matter.

But if so many Silver Saints failed, it means that there must have been Gold Saints involved on Saori Kido's side.

It's either Libra Dohko or Aries Mu.

Only these two remained outside his control and did not reside in the Holy Land.

At that point, the suspicion of the other Gold Saints was irrelevant; a swift victory, capturing and eliminating Athena's human form, was the most important thing.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Aphrodite and Deathmask exchanged a glance, already guessing Kido Saori's identity, and nodded in agreement.

They have always believed in the idea that "might makes right".

Now that Saga has seized power in Sanctuary and become the Pope, they naturally pledge allegiance to him.

The next morning, George, wearing the Giant Silver Cloth, left the Sanctuary with a group of Silver Saints and Gigas.

Of course, his direct advancement to Silver Saint also shocked all the Sanctuary soldiers and Bronze Saints for a long time.

"Saga is really cautious to have sent two Gold Saints with him."

As soon as he left the Sanctuary, George raised an eyebrow.

Because he had already sensed the two powerful microcosms following far behind.

He felt that the Crystal Saints must have broken free of control, which alerted Saga to something, hence the dispatch of Pisces and Cancer to follow them.

Yes, based on the different microcosms, he has already determined that Pisces and Cancer will follow.

During his few days in the Holy Land, he used his invisibility magic to conceal his aura while strolling around during the day, and managed to explore the entire Holy Land.

He didn't even spare the Papal Palace, let alone the Twelve Palaces of the Golden Horde.

Therefore, he had observed the cosmos of all the Gold Saints in the Sanctuary and was very familiar with the aura of their cosmos.

"The two weakest gold medalists are not a big deal."

George didn't take Pisces and Cancer seriously.

With his current physical strength, he would be in trouble if it were Saga or Shaka.

If it's a seafood duo, then there's really nothing to worry about.

The strength of these two is barely above the passing grade of a Gold Saint.

Compared to their predecessors, they are far inferior.

After leaving the Sanctuary and arriving in Athens, a special plane was already waiting there, taking the group of silver-clad individuals to Tokyo.

While the Silver Saints can move at speeds exceeding twice the speed of sound, most of them, except for a few constellations, do not possess the ability to fly.

Therefore, for daily travel, especially long distances, modern transportation is still the best option.

The Gold Saints, on the other hand, don't need to do that; their speed of movement reaches the speed of light, allowing them to outrun any mode of transportation.

Moreover, once they leave the Holy Land, they can all fly.

After a full day of flying, the plane finally arrived in Tokyo.

As soon as they got off the plane, a special receptionist from the outer perimeter of the Holy Land came over and took them to a high-end hotel.

"There's a reason why Saga was able to rule the Sanctuary so smoothly for over a decade."

Standing in his own luxurious suite at the hotel, George couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Before Saga took over Sanctuary, the Sanctuary had always adhered to the principle of strict self-discipline and rigorous training.

Everything was done to serve Athena, for the holy war, and to protect the world and drive away darkness.

After Saga took over, he naturally couldn't continue like that. He promoted people like Gigas to vigorously develop peripheral forces.

He used power and money to corrupt the hearts of the Saints, making them understand that only by following him could they enjoy wealth and glory.

That's why they were picked up by a private jet and received such high-level treatment when they came to Tokyo.

If special services are needed, the hotel can send ten or eight staff members at any time to serve these Silver Saints.

To be honest, the Saint Seiya characters are mostly young men, full of youthful vigor, and how many of them could resist such temptation?

Thinking that if Saga really ruled the whole world in the future, then the Saints of Sanctuary would really be able to do whatever they wanted.

There are only eighty-eight Saints in total. Even the weakest Bronze Saints are among the top one hundred in terms of power in the entire world.

Given this, it's no wonder that some Saint Seiya warriors, even after learning the truth, were still willing to pledge allegiance to Saga.

If it were him, he would also choose Saga.

Of course, he is different from the other Saints; he is just a small clone, and his goal is not something as trivial as ruling the world.

The things Saga gave him held no appeal whatsoever for him.

After resting for two hours and enjoying a lavish meal, Gigas confidently led the Silver Saints to the Kido family's luxurious villa.

In his view, with so much silver, the Crystal Saints and a few bronze Saints were nothing to fear.

This mission will surely be completed smoothly, and then we will return to receive the Pope's reward.

"Chief of Staff, there's no one inside!"

The Fiery Saint explored the luxurious villa and then reported back to Gigas.

Although Gigas was the chief of staff leading the team, the Silver Saints were actually no less powerful than Gigas.

Therefore, except for truly necessary battles, Gigas generally does not order the Silver Saints around.

Minor tasks like exploring villas can be left to the fiery Saints and Sanctuary grunts who are completely obedient to him.

"Hmph, they must be afraid of the Holy Domain's punishment, so they hid in advance."

"No one can hide from me, Corvus!"

At this moment, Kimian of the Corvus constellation walked out with a confident expression.

His strength is only average among the Silver Saints, but he possesses the unique skill of controlling crows.

With just a little time and enough control over a large number of crows, no matter where the enemy is hiding, they will not escape the search of the swarm of crows.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Kimian."

Kigas nodded with a smile.

However, just as Gigas was about to summon the ravens, a mocking voice suddenly rang out from the surroundings.

"Stop looking, we're right here. You're surrounded. Surrender if you don't want to die!"

Everyone looked up and saw that the Crystal Saint and the Bronze Saints, including Seiya, had surrounded them.

"Surround us! I see you're looking for Albio. You've betrayed Sanctuary too!" Gigas was about to mock the Crystal Saints for walking into a trap when he didn't expect that Albio of the Cepheus would appear behind the Crystal Saints.

Moreover, Albiot is followed by a group of Saints from Andromeda Island.

This caused his expression to change.

It's important to know that Albiok is not like any other Silver Saint; rumors say his strength is comparable to that of a Gold Saint, making him the strongest Silver Saint.

Otherwise, it's impossible that they wouldn't have disobeyed the Holy Domain's orders for the past few years, and the Holy Domain wouldn't have taken any action against them.

If Albiot and the Saints of Andromeda Island really side with the traitors, their situation won't be so secure this time.

"Looks like we made it in time."

George was not surprised at all when he saw this.

After being summoned by Saga, George used the magic mirror to inform Seiya and the others of the information.

So the wealthy and powerful Saori Kido sent Shun and Ikki to Andromeda Island in her private plane and brought over the Saints of Andromeda Island overnight.

"It wasn't us who betrayed the Sanctuary, it was the new Pope who betrayed the Sanctuary and Athena!"

Albiot addressed Gigas and the group of Silver Saints:
"The new pope is actually Gemini Saga in disguise. He killed the former pope, framed Aiolos, and attempted to kill Athena. His crimes are unforgivable."

Don't be fooled by him anymore!

"How dare you slander His Holiness the Pope! I, Algol of the Perseus, will deal with you!"

The group of Silver Saints simply didn't believe Albiot's words, or even if they knew they were true, they were unwilling to believe them.

Help the new pope conquer the world and gain supreme power, or obediently cultivate in the Holy Land and await death in the Holy War.

This option is not difficult for them to choose.

"Ultimate Skill: Demon Serpent Illusion!"

The Perseus cosmos erupted, and countless blue venomous snakes suddenly appeared at the feet of Cepheus, completely coiling around its body.

Meanwhile, Perseus himself had already arrived above Cepheus and was kicking Cepheus in the neck with all his might, intending to kill him in one blow.

"Since that's the case, I'll have no choice but to deal with you."

Cepheus paid no attention to the attack from Perseus, because the two chains on his Cloth had automatically engaged the enemy.

The defensive chains instantly shattered the entangled blue, while the offensive chains grabbed one of Perseus's feet and flung it away violently.

"Take down these traitors!"

Gigas hurriedly ordered everyone to gang up on him, while he himself had the Flame Saints quickly lead him to hide to the side.

So, the dozen or so Silver Saints split into two groups: ten of them ganged up on Cepheus, while the remaining four dealt with Seiya and the other Bronze Saints.

Only George stood there, not moving for the time being.

"Erla, what are you doing? Go help!"

Seeing that George was not participating in the battle, Gigas quickly gave the order.

"We should help. Let's deal with the two of you first."

George turned around and walked directly toward Gigas and the Flame Saint.

Gigas immediately sensed something was wrong:
"Eurah, what are you doing? How dare you betray the Holy Land!"

"You are the ones who betrayed the Holy Land. Do you think they knew you were coming today and laid an ambush here beforehand?"

George walked step by step toward Kigas, his face full of malice.

"Don't think that just because you're wearing the Silver Cloth you're a real Silver Saint. Let me, the Flame Saint, teach you a lesson!"

The fiery Saints protecting Gigas immediately unleashed their ultimate techniques.

"Flame Spiral!"

The raging flames swept towards George like a vortex.

George was already very unhappy that he had been promoted from a lowly soldier to a Silver Saint in just a few days.

Especially yesterday, he arrogantly told George to go to the hall, but when George came out, he had received the Silver Cloth of the Giant Saint, and his status was a level higher than his.

He wanted to prove to Gigas and the Pope that only a Flame Saint like himself was qualified to advance to Silver Saint, and that this kid was no match for him at all.

"Suck!"

Faced with the raging flames, George opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, swallowing all the flames into his stomach.

"Here you go, the Roar of the Fire Dragon."

The dragon-shaped pillar of fire pierced straight through the body of the Flame Saint, killing him instantly.

He has no time to play house with a mere Bronze Saint.

"No, don't kill me!"

Seeing the Flame Saint killed instantly, Gigas was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground, as he had no fighting ability whatsoever.

"Although this guy is a piece of trash, he's still somewhat useful. I can't let you kill him like this."

Just as George was about to finish off Gigas, two men dressed in gold armor emerged from the darkness.

The newcomers were none other than Pisces Gold Saint Aphrodite and Cancer Gold Saint Deathmask.

George was not surprised at all by the appearance of the two men, because they had just looked like they were about to kill Gigas.

The original purpose was to force the two hidden Gold Saints to reveal themselves.

Although he could sense the two's inner strength, it would still be a bit troublesome if they hid in the shadows and launched a sneak attack.

"I see. Then it seems I have no choice but to kill both of you."

"Hahaha, kill us? You, a mere Silver rank, think you can?

Upon hearing George's words, Aphrodite and Deathmask first showed surprise, then couldn't help but burst into mocking laughter.

They thought that George might have just been promoted from a low-level soldier to Silver rank and didn't know the difference between Silver and Gold. He thought he was too arrogant because he could easily kill Bronze rank soldiers.

"Gold Saint Seiya!"

Aphrodite and Deathmask suddenly unleashed their powerful ultimate cosmos, causing everyone fighting to immediately stop.

When they saw the Saints wearing golden armor the following year, their expressions changed drastically.

The Silver Saints were naturally delighted; with two Gold Saints present, they no longer needed to worry about the Cepheus.

In the previous battle, the four Silver Saints dominated Seiya and the rest of the Bronze Saints, but when the ten Silver Saints fought against Cepheus, they were completely overwhelmed by Cepheus.

And they're almost completely destroyed.

On the contrary, Cepheus and Seiya were unaware that two Gold Saints from the Sanctuary would appear.

George didn't tell them because he could handle those two gold medals himself.

"Gold Saints? Who isn't one!"

George remained completely unaffected by the ultimate cosmic pressure from Aphrodite and Deathmask.

"Change up!"

With the activation of magic, the Crater Silver Cloth instantly transformed into the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, unleashing the oppressive force of the Seventh Sense Ultimate Cosmo.
