Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

A figure streaked across the night sky like a shooting star.

A nuclear explosion would typically cause large areas of buildings to collapse.

There are huge craters caused by meteorite impacts on the ground...

"Aren't these... these the images that appeared to be from a large-scale battle between warriors that came from Danube City in the Southern Thousand Marshes region a while ago?"

Soon, media professionals recognized the source of the images and turned to look at Mitsumasa Kido, wondering why he was playing them.

"That's right. These images all come from Danube City. Our Kido Foundation collected these images and played them again to tell everyone that these images are real. What you see in the images are actually the traces left by the destruction caused by the warriors' cosmos."

"Fighters are different from all of us. They do not rely on physical strength. Instead, they burn a core within their bodies called the Cosmo, causing it to explode and generate unparalleled destructive power—the ultimate destructive power capable of shattering atoms!"

"To put it in specific terms, even the lowest-ranking fighter can deliver a punch at the speed of sound, which is 340 meters per second. The most powerful among them can even reach the speed of light. They are even stronger than Superman. They can punch through the sky and shatter the earth with a single kick!"

Whenever the power of the fighters is mentioned, Mitsumasa Kido's face is filled with longing.

At this point, a reporter asked, "Mr. Kido, you just said that the destruction of Danube Castle was caused by a gladiator battle. So, why did the gladiators fight each other?"

"Because of faith!"

Mitsumasa Kido said eloquently, "Since the age of mythology, warriors have been the most devout believers of the gods, the divine guards. There are as many types of warriors as there are gods in this world. For example, there were five types of warriors who participated in the Battle of Danube..."

"A Saint Seiya who worships the goddess Athena."

"Specters who worship Hades, the god of the underworld."

"A sun warrior who worships the sun god Apollo."

"Moon warriors who worship Artemis, the goddess of the moon."

"A berserker who worships Ares, the god of war."

"These five major warrior groups are the most powerful warrior forces in the world today. For more than 200 years, the leaders have always been the Saints who took it upon themselves to protect the earth. But in recent years, as the gods have been reincarnated one after another, their warrior legions will surely launch a powerful challenge against the Saints!"

"This challenge is called the Holy War, which will determine the ownership of the land and the fate of mankind. If the current guardians of the land, the Saints, win, that will be fine. But if other gods win, the fate of all mankind in the world will be changed. It may even turn from a sacred land into a land of death, just like the Lost Realm more than 200 years ago!"

Mitsumasa Kido went straight to unveil the mystery of the gods and warriors, presenting the impending holy war to the world's media. As his resounding voice fell, the entire venue erupted in uproar.

"What? The holy war between the gods will determine the fate of humanity?"

Are you sure today isn't April Fool's Day?

"Can our army fight against warriors? Power that exceeds the speed of sound, even the speed of light, is more terrifying than an alien invasion!"

"No wonder fighter schools are being actively established all over the world. It seems that the higher-ups knew about all this long ago and have already begun to train our own human fighters!"

"The future will be the era of fighters!"

"However, even if we have our own warriors, even if we have the protection of the Saints, can we defeat the warrior armies of other gods?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Mitsumasa Kido silenced the crowd and said loudly:

"It is precisely because of the threat of holy war that we are determined to advance the All-People Fighter Plan. At the same time, in order to demonstrate the courage and strength of our human fighters, we have made an agreement with the Sanctuary to hold the Galactic Arena Tournament in three years, inviting major fighter legions from all over the world to participate!"

"What?! Mr. Kido, do you intend to challenge the God Warriors in front of the whole world?"

"It is not me, it is the Holy Domain, the guardian of the earth!"

……

The Parthenon outside the sanctuary.

The power of the media is immense. With the launch of the Kido Foundation's propaganda machine, the gods, warriors, and the Galactic Tournament became the focus of global attention. Consequently, even the Parthenon, where Saint Seiya was said to have appeared from time to time, became a must-visit spot.

Many reporters came here in search of traces of Saint Seiya.

This was tough on the old priest who was in charge of the temple, as he had to give interviews again and again, constantly repeating the legend of Saint Seiya.

"Saint Seiya are warriors who protect the goddess Athena..."

"In mythology, Athena is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, the future king of the gods, and the goddess who holds the power of war!"

"The gods waged countless wars for power, but Athena was kind. She would not start a war for personal gain. She participated in wars to protect the earth and humanity, such as the war against the brutal Ares and the war against the ferocious Titans."

"And in these countless wars, there was a group of young men who swore to protect Athena with their lives. To protect Athena, who disliked weapons, the young men fought with their own bodies. They defeated one god after another, protecting the earth and humanity. They are the Saints from all over the world, possessing true courage and power!"

"Alright, Mr. Reporter, I've said everything I could. Can I go back to work now?"

Not only were the old priest and others extremely annoyed, but even the Saints who frequently traveled near the Parthenon on missions were being watched by some people with ulterior motives. Even the area where the Sanctuary was located was marked on the map by those with great supernatural powers.

The Saint Seiya warriors reacted strongly to this, but the instigator, Jalon, didn't care.

Compared to the fact that the existence of the Sanctuary has been made public.

He was more concerned about the reaction of the gods. After the Holy War became public in the future, would these gods dare to challenge the Saints in front of the whole world?

Chapter 378 Challenge! Death Arrives (Part 2)

Tao domain.

Inside the elegant villa, beautiful music drifted in and out as Pandora, dressed in a black dress, intently played her harp, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Unlike Pandora, who loves music and quiet, Esther, who is in the same room, is wearing a loose kimono and watching TV listlessly.

"The Galaxy Arena? What's Galon up to now? No wonder he's been so late these past few days..."

"Estelle, are you looking forward to it?"

Just as Esther was muttering to herself while watching the television, Pandora's gentle voice rang out, instantly making Esther's face burn like fire.

“Pandora, don’t talk nonsense. How could I possibly expect him? Would you, Pandora, expect a man other than your husband, Epimetheus?”

"This... of course I won't."

"So, I won't either! He's human, and he's our greatest enemy. I'm just curious what kind of scheme he's up to this time."

"What kind of tricks could he possibly have? He just wants to suppress us again. If he thinks he can influence the future war of the gods by playing such a childish game, he's really dreaming."

"Wishful thinking?"

Esther disagreed with Pandora, shaking her head and saying:

"Pandora, how could a whimsical human possibly allow you, the most perfect woman in the world, to repeatedly defeat me, the goddess of conflict?"

"Hmph, isn't it all because you're all stupid and incompetent?!"

Before Pandora could answer, a disdainful voice came from outside the window.

In an instant, countless dark clouds gathered in the once clear sky, and the entire world was filled with the will of death. Then, a god wielding a terrifying blood-red scythe and possessing ten thousand meters of black wings on his back pounced out from the dark clouds and headed straight for the room where Pandora and Esther were.

"Danasus?!"

Under the astonished gazes of the two women, the deity landed and transformed into a young man with silver hair, silver eyes, and a pentagram flashing on his forehead.

The young man was exceptionally handsome, far surpassing ordinary people. He was also very tall with perfect proportions. Dressed in a wide divine robe and magnificent inner garments, he appeared as if a god had descended to earth, his gaze filled with intense anger as he looked at Esther and Pandora.

"Pandora, Esther, you two have disappointed me greatly!"

"Pandora, as the commander of the Underworld, you have suffered one crushing defeat after another at the Holy Land, not only greatly weakening the Demon Star, but also causing me to lose my dearest nephew, the Dream God Oneiros. You are utterly foolish!"

“Estelle, as the messenger of the abyss, the evil form of my sister Eris, the goddess of discord, you have not only failed to fulfill your duties as a messenger, but have also made yourself subject to the lowly humans. You are utterly incompetent!”

As soon as Thanatos, the god of death, descended, he began to berate Pandora and Esther with a fierce and contemptuous tone. Yet, his divine power was extremely strong, and he possessed a near-peak cosmos and divine body, which even made Esther unable to raise her head.

The situation was beyond their control, and although the two women were dissatisfied, they could only grit their teeth and bear it. At the same time, they were also very curious about what Death God Thanatos was after, who had launched such a fierce attack right from the start.

"Therefore, I feel that the two of you are no longer suitable to lead the Hades Army. From now on, whether it is the Demon Star under your command, Pandora, or the Ghost Saint under your command, Esther, they will all be led by me, Thanatos. I will personally lead the Hades Army to conquer the Sanctuary and offer this land to His Highness Hades, who is about to be resurrected!"

"Danasus, you want to seize power?"

Looking at the imposing Death God Thanatos, Pandora and Esther suddenly realized that this Death God came from Elysium to replace them as the leader of the Underworld.

Pandora didn't care about this; she was already tired of this kind of fighting and killing.

But Esther's beautiful eyes flashed with anger.

"Thanatos, although you are Hades's attendant and can command trillions of the dead in the underworld, the Ghost Saints are not ordinary dead. They are my personal guards, and you cannot command them without my permission!"

“That’s why I’ve come to you, Esther. You are one of the twins of Eris, the goddess of discord. You should know very well that the reason Hypnos and I were banished from the heavens is because you started the Trojan War. Compared to Pandora, you have no right to refuse my request!”

"This... Hypnos also agreed to let you lead the Hades Army?"

"Hmph! He has no right to refuse me! He dealt a heavy blow to the sleeping sea god, but the sea god retaliated by taking it out on me after he awoke. I took the pain of his soul being torn apart for him, and he will never question any of my decisions now!"

At this point, a sickly beauty appeared on Thanatos's fair face, and a mad flame flickered in his silver eyes as he looked at Esther with full confidence.

“Estelle, if I were to lead the Hades Army, the first thing I would do is help you escape your predicament of being controlled by others. You should know very well that there is no human being in this world that I, the Grim Reaper, cannot kill!”

"Okay, if you can do that..."

"Not if, but definitely, Esther. Tell me, what's the name of the human who utterly humiliated you, the reincarnation of the goddess of strife?"

"His name is Galon."

"Garon? Alright, then this Galon is the first human I'll kill after my resurrection as the Grim Reaper."

Thanatos finished speaking calmly, then turned to Pandora and asked, "Pandora, who is the second target I want to kill, the one who sealed my beloved nephew?"

"Garon".

"Huh? It's him again?"

Upon hearing the name Galon again, Thanatos was slightly surprised, but it was merely a human, and he didn't pay it much attention. After his initial surprise, he continued to ask:

"The third person I want to kill..."

At this point, the flames in Thanatos's eyes became noticeably hotter, and his entire body seemed to radiate boundless hatred.

“Pandora, Esther, you should know that Hypnos and I were sealed in a crystal coffin by those two old men, Hakurei and Sage, during the Holy War more than 200 years ago. After more than 200 years, Athena's sealing power has become very weak. With Hypnos and me, it won't be long before we can break free and regain our freedom, but…”

"But there was a shameless human who, just as we were about to break free of our seal, took the crystal coffin that sealed our souls to Poseidon's underwater temple. And while we were still delirious from being sealed for so long, he shamelessly threw us into Athena's Jar, which sealed Poseidon's soul!"

Thanatos stopped there, but the two women could tell from his undisguised hatred and what he had said earlier that he must hate this human to death.

Perhaps his birth into the world was so dramatic and unusual, so different from his previous reincarnations, that it might be related to this person.

At this moment, Thanatos said in an icy tone, "Do you know who this person is?"

"This……"

Pandora hesitated, but Esther's eyes lit up as she looked at Thanatos, whose gaze was filled with hatred:

“My subordinate Shion once mentioned to me the whereabouts of the crystal coffin…”
