Marvel's Magic Master

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

All the Gold Saints rose together and bowed to Saga.

Most of the Gold Saints felt that the Pope's words made sense, and although a few still had doubts, they could not say anything at this time.

At least on the surface, they couldn't find anything wrong with the Pope's order.

"There's no time to lose, you should set off now, led by Shaka."

Saga pointed at Shaka.

Of the six, Shaka is the strongest. The key is that he understands Shaka's temperament. Shaka is very rational, calm, and even ruthless.

Once a decision has been made, it will not be changed by a few words of explanation.

If any of the six Gold Saints are persuaded to side with the other side, Shaka will not hesitate to eliminate that person to uphold the dignity and safety of the Sanctuary.

He has the ability to do it.

The six Gold Saints nodded again, bowed, and left the Papal Hall, heading out of the Sanctuary.

Flying is not possible within the Sanctuary; one must leave the Sanctuary before one can use the ability to fly.

As soon as the six Gold Saints left, Saga turned to Deathmask and gave the order:

"Go and keep an eye on them. If anything happens, come back and report to me immediately!"

Although the Gold Saints can travel at the speed of light, they don't fly that fast unless absolutely necessary.

On the one hand, it consumes a lot of cosmic energy, and on the other hand, the noise generated by moving at the speed of light is too great and can easily disturb ordinary people and enemies.

Therefore, Deathmask, who possesses spatial abilities and can teleport using them, is best suited to monitor the situation there.

It would be best if Shaka and his six companions could defeat Dohko and Mu, and bring back Saori Kido.

If not, Dismas can bring them to the scene at any time to clean up the mess and resolve any remaining issues.

"Yes, His Holiness the Pope."

George controlled Deathmask to nod, then pretended to walk out of the Sanctuary as well.

He certainly wouldn't let Dismask monitor the situation in Tokyo.

He merely controlled Deathmask to leave the Papal Palace, pretending to teleport to Tokyo, but in reality, he was hiding in the shadows and using the magic mirror to send messages to Saori Kido and the others.

"Saga is truly insidious, actually framing Saori as Pandora of the Underworld!"

Upon hearing George's analysis of Saga's conspiracy, Seiya and the others were quite angry.

Saori Kido, who had already awakened some of Athena's consciousness, remained remarkably calm:

"Since they have sent six Gold Saints, let's go to Sanctuary now and subdue Saga."

This was their original plan: once the Sanctuary sent more than three Gold Saints, they would go directly to the Sanctuary and gang up on Saga with George.

Saga sent out six this time, which means that Saga is the only one left in the Sanctuary.

"No, Saga is very strong. Even if we join forces, it will be difficult to defeat him in a short time."

If there is a slight delay, Shaka and the other six will realize something is wrong and that the Sanctuary is in danger, and they will put aside their concerns and rush back at lightning speed.

We still won't stand a chance then!

At this moment, Tong Hu and Mu appeared, pouring cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

They had known the truth for a long time but had not taken any action, mainly because they were worried that the civil war would cause the Holy Land's power to decline drastically, making it difficult to cope with the upcoming Holy War.

Dohko was one of only two Saints to survive the last Holy War, and he understood the cruelty of the Holy War best.

If we lose, then the entire human world will be shrouded in death; it will be a true apocalypse.

They originally wanted to keep delaying until Athena's consciousness was fully awakened, and to cultivate a few more potential Saints.

We'll deal with Saga and the Saints who betrayed Sanctuary in due time.

I never expected things to turn out this way.

For Athena's safety, they had no choice but to abandon their observations and come to help themselves.

He was surprised by George's strength and his acquisition of the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, but he did not agree with George's battle plan.

For the Gold Saints, returning to Sanctuary to support Saga is not difficult, and there is little time difference.

"how come."

Upon hearing what Dohko and Mu said, Seiya and the others' expressions changed drastically.

But they quickly gritted their teeth and said:

"Then let's fight them head-on! For Athena, for justice, even if they are the Gold Saints, we will defeat them!"

"It's not like there's no chance. Let's change our plans temporarily."

At this point, George revealed his new plan.

"Of the six of them, apart from Shaka and Shura, the other four have doubts. You should try to delay as long as possible."

If all else fails, then fight. Even in battle, the main objective should be to delay them and prevent them from noticing anything amiss on the Sanctuary's side.

"I'll take care of Saga. Once Saga is dealt with, everything will be much easier."

"This is the only way for now."

Dohko and Mu exchanged a glance, approved of George's new plan, and gave a general overview of the techniques and abilities Saga might use.

George himself is a Gold-level player, and he also used special moves to control two Gold-level players, Aphrodite and Deathmask.

The three golden men still have a chance of winning against the fake pope.

"You all, in a little while."

On this side, after Deathmask left, only George and Aphrodite, controlled by George, remained in the hall.

Saga then began to explain his plans.

It was roughly as George had guessed: the two of them were to wait there, and if anything happened, Saga would personally lead them to clean up the mess.

He will kill any Gold Saint who disobeys his orders.

About an hour later, George received a message from Saori Kido and the others:
"The objective has been achieved, but delays are underway."

Clearly, the six Gold Saints have arrived in Tokyo and found Saori Kido and the others.

"Then I'll get started too."

George suddenly stood up from his seat, causing Saga, who was resting with his eyes closed and waiting for Deathmask's message, to open them.

"Is there something you need, Euler?"

"Your Holiness, I have a suggestion."

George gave an apologetic smile.

Saga replied calmly:
"Say!"

He thought George had come up with some advice about Athena in order to demonstrate his worth.

“I suggest you confess your crimes and pass the papacy to me.”

George's words made Saga jump up from his seat:
"Euler, do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know, Gemini Saga, the true traitor of Sanctuary. You don't really think I'm loyal to you, do you?"

George smiled and continued.

"Dare to betray me? You're asking for death."

Saga narrowed his eyes and commanded Pisces:

"Aphrodite, kill him!"

In his view, it was simply foolish for George to reveal his identity at this point.

If it were him, he would launch a sneak attack while Aphrodite was away, aiming for a fatal blow. However, in reality, even without Aphrodite, a mere newly promoted Gold Saint was definitely no match for him.

He guessed that George was anxious about the situation in Tokyo and had no choice but to take a gamble now.

"Bloody Rose!"

Upon hearing Saga's command, Aphrodite immediately stood up, unleashed his strongest ultimate technique, and burned his cosmos to its maximum.

However, his target wasn't George, but Saga.

"You betrayed me too!"

Saga's expression changed, and he raised his hand to unleash his technique:

"Another dimension."

The powerful spatial force instantly swept Aphrodite's Blood Rose, along with Aphrodite himself, into another dimension.

When Aphrodite was released from the other dimension, he was already a corpse.

"He didn't betray you, he was just controlled by me, just like you controlled the Crystal Saint."

George didn't seem to mind, and simply smiled and explained:
"I'm sorry, I lied to you. All the information I gave you before was fake."

You thought you could reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but actually we were just luring you out.

Villains often die from talking too much, but it has to be admitted that when you think you have absolute control of the situation, it can be quite fun to tease or provoke your opponent.

"So, Deathmask?"

Saga's expression changed again, and at that moment, a familiar cosmos appeared behind him.

"Sekishiki Meikai Ha!"

It turned out that Deathmask had already come up behind him and launched an attack.

"Galaxy Starburst!"

With a roar, Saga turned around and unleashed his strongest ultimate technique.

The terrifying power capable of shattering stars was concentrated into countless fists, meeting Deathmask's Sekishiki Meikai Ha head-on.

The accumulated corpse energy, which was specifically designed to attack the soul, was instantly dispersed. Deathmask's body flew out violently, landing on the ground with broken bones and flesh like mud.

It was still an instant kill. Both Aphrodite and Deathmask were Gold Saints, and neither could withstand a single blow from Saga.

"Hmph, so what if you control them? In the face of absolute power, all schemes are a joke."

Saga raised his hand and threw a punch at George from a distance:
"Fantasy Demon Emperor Fist!"

He wanted to control George, find out what kind of conspiracy George and Saori Kido were plotting, and how Tokyo was dealing with the six Gold Saints.

George made no attempt to dodge or defend, and the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist successfully struck him.

However, he did not see any sign that George was under his control.

"As expected of one of the strongest Gold Saints, he used his powerful cosmos to compress space and distort time, banishing his enemy to a different dimension trillions of light-years away."

A devastating ultimate physical attack comparable to the Big Bang, capable of shattering stars.

There are also forbidden techniques that control the brain's nerves, making the victim completely obedient to their commands.

Unfortunately, you ran into me!

George clapped his hands, stood up from his seat, and went to face Saga.

"Wow, what a cringeworthy statement, but it's true."

"The clown!"

Saga narrowed his eyes and ignited his own cosmos.

Although he didn't know how George blocked his Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, he could clearly sense that George's cosmos was not as strong as his own.

At best, he's only slightly better than Aphrodite and Deathmask.

So in a head-on confrontation, George and Aphrodite, like Deathmask, wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from him.

"Galaxy Starburst!"

He unleashed his strongest move once again, intending to severely injure George first, and then control him with the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist.

"Ultimate Instinct!"

At this moment, George, wearing the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, finally made his move.

He never intended to defeat Saga with Aphrodite and Deathmask; the gap was too large.

To defeat Saga, who is at least among the top three Gold Saints, he would have to take action himself.

Although, due to the short time elapsed, his cosmos, having just reached the seventh sense, was far less powerful than that of Saga.

However, he hasn't been idle these past two days either; he has already figured out how to use the power of his cosmos to activate Ultra Instinct.

That's why he was so leisurely teasing Saga just now.

Ultra Instinct, as the divine technique of the Dragon Ball world, is a unique move that even the God of Destruction cannot fully master.

It can greatly enhance combat effectiveness.

This allows George to possess power far exceeding Saga's without using any of his authority.

The Ultimate Skill is not about increasing strength, but rather a state of being—a state where one can unleash their full potential to reach ten thousand times their original strength.

Therefore, even though George's cosmos was still at the initial stage of the Seventh Sense when he entered Ultra Instinct, the power he unleashed had already surpassed the Seventh Sense.

"bluff!"

Seeing George's hair stand up and turn white, Saga had a vague sense of unease, but then he noticed that George's cosmos hadn't increased, so he felt relieved.

The same power that could shatter stars and instantly kill Deathmask was hurtling towards George.

George simply raised one hand and unleashed a basic attack that even a Gold Saint possesses:

"Lightspeed punch!"

An ordinary light-speed punch becomes extraordinary under the enhancement of Ultra Instinct.

Each of his punches precisely blocked Saga's terrifying power to shatter the stars, easily neutralizing it all, and he still had the strength to continue attacking Saga's main body.

Saga tried to dodge, but found that his body speed couldn't keep up with George's punch speed at all.

It was as if every move he made was anticipated by George, and he always acted one step ahead of him.

"Ahhhh!"

Continuous screams emanated from Saga's body as his papal mask, which concealed his face, shattered and his papal robes turned to ashes.

The Gemini Gold Cloth was revealed inside.

"This is impossible. How could your light-speed punch be so powerful?"

Saga's body crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood; he was clearly in a state of serious injury.

The strongest light-speed punch he had ever seen was Sagittarius Aiolos's atomic light-speed punch, which even he himself was hesitant to take head-on at the time.

When Shura tried to stop Aiolos, he was defeated by Aiolos's atomic light speed punch.

However, if we really compare them, the power of the Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist is still much inferior to his Galactic Explosion.

After all, Aiolos's true trump card was the golden arrow that could harm even the gods.

However, George was not using the Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist at all; it was just an ordinary light speed fist, yet it possessed a terrifying power that even George could not match.

Not only did it negate his Galactic Explosion, it also severely injured him in one move.

"it's over!"

George walked up to Saga, cast a stun spell on him, and then restored Saga's shattered papal suit.
