The Myth of Hades

"Fool! Manigoldo, what a fool you are doing!" The usually composed Pope lost his composure as he watched Manigoldo die.

Everything happened so fast that even he on the screen didn't have time to react... or rather, Manigoldo's actions were unexpected.

Although sealing Death was his goal, he wanted Manigold to live even more. He shouldn't have acted so impulsively. He would naturally find a way to deal with Death's body.

Manigold laughed heartily, scratching his head. "Master, it's alright! It's worth it to be able to carry the body of the Grim Reaper."

Absolutely! Seeing Death's impotent rage, it was definitely worth the price of admission.

……

Manigoldo seemed completely unconcerned, even feeling like he'd made a profit, while Danados on the other side also looked delighted—a win-win situation.

"Hahaha, this is the price for angering the gods. May you disappear into the passage, body and soul destroyed."

Thanatos felt that he had finally achieved his goal. That annoying Cancer was finally dead, and all that was left was an old guy who had lived for hundreds of years. Dealing with him would be a piece of cake.

Type-Moon Fifth World War

"Um, the priest who was taken by Death seems a bit pitiful... Is no one speaking up for him?"

Rin Tohsaka, whose focus was different from others, felt a little strange. Perhaps it was because she had witnessed Ishtar possessing her body and descending, and seeing the priest die like that, she felt a sense of sympathy for him.

While alive, I was inexplicably possessed by Death, and now, having just had Death's soul stripped away and barely taken a few breaths of fresh air, I'm gone again...

This person is incredibly unlucky; their death is even more unjust than that of Dou E.

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, everyone present was speechless, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to say. The crucial point was that what she said made a lot of sense!

This priest was truly pitiful; if Rin Tohsaka hadn't mentioned him, they wouldn't have even noticed him. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

At the cost of his own life, Manigoldo finally destroyed the Grim Reaper's body. Looking at the remaining fragments of the Cancer Gold Cloth before him, Sage could no longer contain his grief and roared in fury.

But even now, with only a soul remaining, Thanatos remained incredibly arrogant. To him, losing a body was merely the loss of a physical form—it meant no harm whatsoever!

He could have as many containers as he wanted, and Pope Sage before him was an excellent choice.

As he spoke, the soul of Death entered the Pope's body, and a black star symbolizing the power of Death appeared on the Pope's forehead.

"With your body as the Pope, I can move freely within the Sanctuary and easily take Athena's head."

[The Grim Reaper, momentarily lost in his fantasies, imagined possessing the Pope's body and wreaking havoc throughout the Sanctuary.]

But... the next moment! Thanatos heard the Pope's slightly mocking voice.

"What's wrong, Thanatos?! Do you find my body inconvenient to use?"

The Pope, who had been in agony, calmed down and stood up. Thanatos was then horrified to discover that his possession attempt had failed.

"As I just said, one must go one step beyond God to become the Pope!"

The Pope tore off his robe from his chest, revealing the Silver Cloth of the Altar of the Whitebeard, within which Thanatos's soul was sealed.

"This is my elder brother's Silver Altar Cloth. My brother and I have spent over two hundred years infusing this piece with our energy."

"You are now like a caged bird, unable to fly away."

"I almost had a heart attack when I saw the Pope being possessed. I thought Manigoldo's sacrifice had been in vain. Luckily, it was just a false alarm."

"To be the Pope is to go one step further than God. This damn sense of security... just how reliable do you have to be, Your Holiness?"

People from other worlds felt a great sense of security from the Pope, far exceeding the oppressive feeling brought by Death.

They probably anticipated this scene, as they had been wearing the altarpiece when they arrived, but they never expected that Manigold would die because of it.

Even though the Pope traveled a great distance to save him, Manigoldo only thought about trading one life for death.

"Now I finally understand why the golden armor left by Manigold before his death wasn't worn by the Pope! It turns out he already had a set."

So, it turns out that Saint Cloths can be shared among different people. People from other worlds thought that each person's Saint Cloth, which is ranked by constellation, was fixed.

Saint Seiya World

"Are we really wearing the same Saint Seiya armor...?" Deathmask is having his daily existential questions.

One thing he knew for sure was why he only knew one move: he had lost his edge.

Manigoldo, you two should at least pass on some skills before you start your journey! Now I only know one useless move, the Netherworld Wave...

"Luckily, he only knows one move, the Underworld Wave, otherwise he would have wanted to be the Pope himself." Aphrodite secretly rejoiced, thinking how arrogant he was just because he only knew one move, the Underworld Wave.

If he were to learn all of his moves, his tail would practically float in the sky!

"Brilliant... The part about sealing the Grim Reaper was absolutely brilliant. The strength and strategy of the master and apprentice were fully demonstrated."

Kisuke Urahara waved his fan, his brows furrowed with admiration. Faced with an opponent he could not defeat, he could only make up for it with strategy.

The Saint Cloths, imbued with the power of over two hundred years... Did they begin preparing for this day as soon as the last Holy War ended? What astonishing dedication!

The planning over the past two hundred years, apart from the death of Manigoldo, can be said to have been entirely within the Pope's expectations.

It was just so hopeless; Thanatos perfectly captured the arrogance and oppressive nature of the gods.

However, despite humanity's desperate efforts, which cost Manigoldoth his life and exhausted all means, the result was only achieved by taking advantage of Thanatos's carelessness.

If they could only seal him away, could it be that they truly couldn't completely kill the god?

Chapter 383 The Death God is successfully sealed! A long-cherished wish has been fulfilled.

[As a god, yet sealed away by humans he had always looked down upon, Thanatos felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation and roared in fury.]

"In that case, we'll utterly destroy your soul first! What can two old geezers possibly do with their limited cosmos?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sage's body began to splatter blood everywhere. Death was relentlessly destroying his body, attempting to break the seal. Even the Pope was tormented by the pain and let out a muffled groan.

But...having come this far, how could the Pope possibly give up so easily?

"It's not just the two of us; behind me are my former companions and the next generation of flowers."

As the Pope placed his hand on the altarpiece of his holy robes, a dazzling golden light exploded forth, accompanied by golden lightning, and a box was pulled from it.

"It is for them... I am willing to give my life!!"

Thanatos was visibly panicked. Having always held humanity in utter contempt, Thanatos finally felt fear: "What! There's something like this inside the Saint Cloth!"

"This is the Sacred Ark that Athena gave me in this life. If you are sealed by this, you will never be able to escape, even if it takes hundreds of years."

The Pope's words enraged Thanatos, whose body began to crack and burst open, blood gushing from his wounds.

"Damn it!! I'm the Grim Reaper, humans can't control me."

Exhausted, the Pope collapsed to his knees. Faced with Thanatos's fury, the Pope instead laughed.

"Game time is over, Death!"

"stop--!"】

The Pope slowly placed his hand on the Ark of the Sacred Relic: "My plan this time may not have been perfect, Manigoldo, because it cost you your life too."

As the Ark of the Sacred Relic was opened, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky. Accompanied by the Grim Reaper's scream, his soul was successfully sealed inside the Ark. Then, the Pope slowly closed the lid.

"Athena, brother, the rest is in your hands."

[With the Pope's dying words, the world suddenly fell silent. The portal to the gods vanished, and the Pope looked up, gazing silently at the clear blue sky. His golden armor transformed into a beam of light, shooting straight into the heavens.]

The Pope's body was buried along with the collapsed palace. In the Sanctuary, at the cost of the Pope and Manigoldo's sacrifice, the Ark of Death, which sealed the Grim Reaper, returned to the Sanctuary.

"Sage, you've worked hard." Athena stepped forward with a touch of sadness, cradling the Holy Ark in her hands, covering it with her cosmos, and thoughtfully locked it.

Looking at the Holy Ark before him, Bai Li also sensed the disappearance of Sage's cosmos: "Finally, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."

"Old Pope!!! I suddenly feel like I've got a brick in my eye... You're already so old, don't be so hot-blooded! It's making me want to cry."

"This can't just be called a Cancer anymore, both master and apprentice are King Crabs, they are truly strong!"

"It's ironic that Thanatos, the god of death, was sealed away by humans, whom he always looked down upon, and could only rage helplessly in the end."

Bearing the regret of failing to save his comrades in the previous holy war, Pope Sage sustained himself for over 200 years precisely because of this regret.

To prevent the same thing from happening in the previous Holy War, he took one of the twin gods, Death, with him before he left. He was willing to sacrifice himself for the next generation of flowers, and opened up a completely new path.

People from other worlds couldn't help but marvel at how remarkable the master and disciple were, or rather, how remarkable humanity was. Human perseverance and courage would be etched into the starry sky.

"Is this what holy war is?!... "

The Saint Seiya warriors were truly waving their fists for their beliefs, and even with the gods before them, Ichigo Kurosaki never saw any fear in their eyes.

Pisces' bones shattered, Virgo sacrificed himself, Taurus destroyed his ears, Cancer lost a leg... The brutality of war, coupled with the endless sacrifices.

"Sigh... I hope the remaining Gold Saints can all have a good ending."

Ichigo sighed, and could only silently pray that they would win this holy war; they had already sacrificed enough for it.

Meanwhile, Aizen, far away in Hueco Mundo, smiled faintly: "Athena truly lives up to her reputation as the ruler of Hades. She can seal away the so-called Shinigami simply by giving the Pope something."

It seems there's an additional seal on top, which could be considered a unique way of adding a lock?! But just based on this alone, it's clear that Athena is no ordinary person.

It's a pity that the old Pope and Manigoldo died here; otherwise, their techniques would have been a powerful weapon against the army of Specters.
