Marvel's Magic Master

What is the fastest way for a Saint Seiya character to increase their strength?
Of course, it's a battle.

Especially when fighting enemies far stronger than themselves, they constantly burn their inner power.

The reason why the five Bronze Saints were able to rise from Bronze to Gold in just a few months, and even successfully kill a god.

It's all about fighting, against Bronze, Silver, and Gold Saints, as well as God Warriors, Marine Warriors, and Specters.

However, the prerequisite is not to give up in the face of true despair; otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The five Bronze Saints always felt that if they couldn't unleash their cosmos to defeat the enemy, Athena would be killed and the world would end.

That's why they can have one explosive burst after another.

If you were to spar with a Gold Saint in peacetime, and you lost, you lost; you wouldn't fight as hard as you'd think.

The situation is the same now; the Sea Warriors really think he's going to seal Poseidon away.

Therefore, in order to protect Poseidon, they will force themselves to burn their cosmos and become stronger to defeat him.

As for why he helped the Sea Warriors improve their strength, it was naturally because he would need these Sea Warriors later.

Hades' goal is to plunge the entire Earth into darkness and wipe out all of humanity.

Then both Asgard and Atlantis would be affected and killed by Hades along with humanity.

If that's the case, then there's no reason why the Sanctuary should always be the one to resist Hades, while Asgard and Atlantis remain completely uninvolved.

Therefore, the purpose of this campaign to wipe out Asgard and Atlantis is to bind the God Warriors and Marine Warriors to the Sanctuary's warships, so that they can fight Hades and the Specters together.

"Galaxy Starburst!"

With a flick of his wrist, George sent the Sea Warriors, who had just stood up by igniting their inner power, flying out once more.

However, none of them died.

"How could a mere mortal possess such a powerful inner universe!"

Poseidon's expression also changed.

The Pope of the Sanctuary was able to easily deflect his attacks and defeat all the Sea Warriors with a single blow; his cosmos had surpassed that of mortals.

"You want to seal me? You are blaspheming the gods. Even Athena cannot truly seal me, let alone a mortal like you."

Whether it was stimulated by George's inner universe or because he heard that George wanted to seal him away, Poseidon's inner universe was suddenly fully awakened.

That powerful microcosm, capable of encompassing the entire universe, made the world tremble.

"Poseidon's soul has fully awakened, this is troublesome!"

Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Poseidon, which was completely different from before, Galon, who was still heavily injured and unable to stand up, began to panic.

"Demon Sealing Wave!"

Without wasting any words, George opened the rice cooker and unleashed a miniature version of the Demon Sealing Wave.

The powerful cosmic force transformed into a special tornado that swept towards Poseidon, ignoring the powerful trident in Poseidon's hand and forcibly pulling his soul out of his body.

The difference in strength meant that no matter how Poseidon resisted, he was no match for the sweeping tornado.

"boom!"

With a soft sound, Poseidon's soul entered the rice cooker with the tornado, and the rice cooker lid closed automatically, completing the seal.

Meanwhile, Julian, dressed in the robes of the Sea Emperor and wielding a trident, slowly opened his eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"This is impossible!"

Inside the rice cooker, no matter how hard Poseidon tried to unleash his inner power, he couldn't break free, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

It should be noted that even if he were sealed by Athena, who is also a major god, he could have broken through if he wanted to.

The reason it has stayed obediently in the seal for so many years is...

On the one hand, he lost the holy war to his niece, which was somewhat shameful, and being sealed away allowed him to find some peace and quiet.

On the other hand, his physical body was destroyed and his soul was also severely damaged, so he definitely needs to spend a lot of time recuperating.

When Galon released him from the seal, he said he would wake him up again in thirteen years because his soul would not have fully recovered by then.

If Galon hadn't released him, now, thirteen years later, once his soul has fully recovered, he could break free from the seal himself.

However, the seal of the Holy Pope is different now; he truly feels it is even more terrifying than Athena's seal.

Even with his strength, he simply couldn't break the seal and escape.

"It's really sealed away!"

When Galon saw that George had sealed away the fully awakened Poseidon with a single move, he was almost scared to death on the spot.

He immediately turned around and prepared to run away.

This Holy Pope was far more powerful than he had imagined; he was not a true Sea Warrior, nor was he truly loyal to Poseidon.

So there's absolutely no need to throw your life away here.

However, just as he transformed into a beam of light to escape, he ran into a wall outside the Temple of Poseidon.

Because an invisible barrier had already enveloped the entire Temple of Poseidon.

Indeed, it was the barrier that George set up in advance to prevent General Sea and Poseidon's soul from escaping.

"Burn, my little universe!"

Apart from Galon, the other Marines, though shocked that George could seal Poseidon's soul, did not give up the fight.

They all desperately burned their inner strength, unleashing one ultimate move after another, in an attempt to defeat George and release the sealed Poseidon.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they burned their inner strength or how much they increased their power, they were always defeated by George in one move.

The two sides are not even in the same dimension.

Through repeated defeats and resurrections, the Sea Warriors' strength has greatly improved.

However, their potential is still far inferior to that of the five Bronze Saints, and their willpower is also much weaker.

After falling for the sixth time, he finally gave up in despair and stopped getting up.

Galon returned to the temple with a gloomy expression, unable to break through the barrier to escape.

Even using spatial abilities, they couldn't pass through the barrier.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

George never killed him, making him understand that George's goal was not to destroy Atlantis.

"What do I want to do? I want to make a deal with you."

George reached out and beckoned the rice cooker to his palm, then addressed the group of sea warriors:

"Hades is about to lead the Specters to invade the human world. I need you Marines and us Saints to fight this Holy War together."

I will then decide whether to release Poseidon based on your contributions to this holy war.

And, do you forgive your sins of attacking the Sanctuary and attempting to assassinate Athena?

"What if we refuse?"

Galon asked through gritted teeth.

He had no desire to help the Holy Land fight the Holy War; he preferred the two to fight each other out so he could reap the benefits.

George didn't answer, but looked at Galon with a half-smile and said:
"Gemini Kanon, traitor to the Sanctuary, you seem to have no right to make decisions on behalf of the Marines."

Galon was speechless upon hearing this.

"He is indeed not qualified to represent Atlantis, but the question he asked is exactly what we want to ask."

Sea Witch Sorrento stood up. Galon hadn't fought alongside them to save Poseidon; instead, he had chosen to flee alone. He was no longer a Sea General, and could no longer represent Atlantis.

Moreover, he was originally a traitor to the Holy Land, and his joining Atlantis was for ulterior motives.

“If you refuse, I will kill all of you sea warriors right now, and also destroy Poseidon’s soul to prevent future troubles.”

You don't think I can only seal him away and not kill him, do you?

George still had a smile on his face, but what he said made the Sea Warriors gasp involuntarily.

They weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid that George could actually kill Poseidon, the sea god.

Although the idea of ​​a mortal slaying a god is absurd, George's display of power just now makes one wonder.

"We promise you."

After a long silence, the sea generals looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

"Wise choice."

George clapped his hands, tossed the rice cooker that sealed Poseidon into the space he had temporarily created, and casually opened a portal to Asgard.

"Garon, come back to the Sanctuary with me to face judgment."

The moment George stepped into the portal, his voice rang in Galon's ears.

Galon raised an eyebrow, not daring to disobey George's order, and stepped into the portal.

Upon arriving at Asgard, George told Hilda that he had sealed Poseidon away, and also mentioned their plan to cooperate against Hades.

Given that George helped Asgard thwart Poseidon's plot and given George's formidable strength, Hilda agreed almost without hesitation.

After all, George also promised to help Asgard open up foreign trade so that Asgard's people could live a happy life.

Having finished dealing with matters in Asgard, George teleported back to Sanctuary with Galon.

Before ordering Galon to be imprisoned in the dungeon, he said only one sentence to Galon:

"When you were imprisoned in the water dungeon and on the verge of death, the cosmos that saved you came from Athena, who had just descended to earth."

Upon hearing this, Galon was immediately stunned and abandoned the dozen or so escape plans he had been devising.

Seeing this, George knew that Galon was out of danger.

Thirteen years ago, Kanon instigated his brother to kill the newborn Athena and the former pope who chose Aiolos as the next pope.

Saga, who was still kind and had not yet been completely controlled by the evil spirit, was imprisoned in a rock dungeon to reflect on his actions.

That rock dungeon is where the sealed Poseidon's jar is stored, and it possesses powerful sealing power. Galon is no different from an ordinary person inside.

When the seawater flooded in, he was drowned several times, but he survived thanks to a warm and kind little universe that helped him.

Galon was always very grateful to the owner of that cosmos, but he never knew who had helped him.

In the original story, after learning the truth, Galon suddenly realized his mistake and decided to pledge his loyalty to Athena to the death.

Finally, he donned his brother's Gemini Cloth, took his brother's place in the Holy War, and perished together with Radamanthys, one of the three judges of the Underworld.

"That's pretty much it."

George convened another meeting with the Gold Saints of Sanctuary and Saori Kido, and gave a detailed account of the situation in Asgard and Atlantis.

After listening to George's story, Saori Kido and the Gold Saints looked at each other in disbelief.

In just a few short hours, George single-handedly defeated the warriors of Asgard and Atlantis, including both gods and sea warriors.

They also thwarted Poseidon's plan to flood all the continents and sealed Poseidon away again.

If George hadn't been so powerful and composed, they would have really thought he was joking with them.

"This is the rice cooker that sealed Poseidon."

George reached out and took out the rice cooker. With a gentle touch, Poseidon's soul and inner universe appeared inside the rice cooker.

"What a terrifying little universe!"

Upon sensing Poseidon's powerful microcosm that encompassed the entire universe, all the golden figures' expressions changed instantly.

"Is this the microcosm of the gods?"

"It's Poseidon! Poseidon is sealed there!"

Stimulated by Poseidon's cosmos, Athena's consciousness within Saori Kido awakens further, and she also recognizes her second uncle, Poseidon.

"Let Lady Athena keep this seal for the time being."

George handed the rice cooker to Saori Kido.

Saori Kido took the rice cooker, and her gaze towards George changed slightly, as if she wanted to see through George.

She was surprised to have defeated the God Warriors and the Sea Warriors, but she could still accept it.

But sealing Poseidon is definitely not something a mortal can do.

"With the help of the Sea Warriors and God Warriors this time, the Holy War will definitely be easier than in the past, and it may even be able to end the Holy War completely."

George smiled and said to Saori Kido.

He said this not only to Saori Kido, but also to the elegant consciousness within Saori Kido.

Athena's divine essence and true form have always resided on Mount Olympus; her soul, however, enters the human world through reincarnation.

The reincarnated person has their own personality and thoughts, and is not entirely Athena.

As time goes by, Athena's consciousness will gradually awaken within the reincarnated person, and her power will grow stronger and stronger.

But this does not mean that Athena replaced the reincarnated person.

The reincarnated person merely acquires Athena's knowledge and power; in essence, they are still a reincarnated person, and Athena will not replace them.

Therefore, each reincarnated person has a different personality, wisdom, and fighting ability.

They are all reincarnations of Athena, but they cannot be considered as one person.

Some are good at fighting, some are good at strategizing, some are very strong, some are average, and they also have their own love stories, their own crushes, and various life experiences.

After they died, Athena's consciousness returned to her true form, and she would enter a new incarnation when the next Holy War began.

Just like the first Athena herself had incredible combat power, the seal that sealed the twin gods and the Ark of Athena were both left behind by the first Athena.

Upon his debut, he single-handedly ended the Pope's rebellion and, without knowing any intelligence about the Hades army, killed all the Specters and extracted Hades' soul.

Later, he opened the divine passage, single-handedly pursuing Hades' soul and the twin gods, thus ending the Holy War.

Then there's Athena Sasha from the previous Holy War. She was taken back by the Pope for training a long time ago. She started with fifteen Gold Saints, knew about the Hades army, and possessed various artifacts left behind by the first Athena.

As a result, only two Gold Saints, Dohko and Shion, survived the battle; all the other Saints perished.

Finally, there's this generation's Saori Kido, who almost got killed by Saga at the beginning and was raised by ordinary people.

I only found out very late that I was the reincarnation of Athena, and I have never learned how to fight. I can only barely use my cosmos to play a support role.

At the start, there were only a few Bronze Saints, and Saga even tricked the Gold Saints of Sanctuary into thinking they were enemies.

Although he had a terrible start and didn't understand combat, he was smart.

With the help of a few bronze-level warriors and his own assistance, he repeatedly risked his life to quell the rebellion in the Holy Land and suppress the Asgard Palace and Atlantis.

Finally, they went straight to the heart of the matter, entering the underworld and completely ending the Holy War.

Therefore, he believed that with the wisdom of Saori Kido and Athena Athena, once they sensed his goodwill, they would pretend not to have discovered anything, even if they found something.
