The entire episode was high-energy, and Leos and the others, who had been holding their breath the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief after the Pope successfully sealed the Grim Reaper.

“If we want to seal the Grim Reaper, Manigoldo’s sacrifice is unavoidable…” The experienced Leos immediately reviewed the situation in his mind.

Marushal nodded: "That's right. One of the essential conditions for the plan to succeed is that the Grim Reaper's body must be destroyed."

Then the second essential condition... is that only the Pope remains in the space to give Death a choice, and Manigoldo must be present here.

Without Manigoldo, the Pope alone could not have pulled the soul of Death away. This may be the flaw in the Pope's plan; Manigoldo's sacrifice could not prevent it.

Chaldea, the world of Type-Moon

"Two people risking their lives could only seal away the Grim Reaper; they couldn't possibly kill a god..."

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but wonder if human power was truly incapable of reaching the gods. Her plan, conceived over 200 years, had only managed to seal them away, and even then, it came at the cost of two lives. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novels!)

Ilya shook her head: "Rin, don't think like that. If human power can kill a god, then the so-called god is nothing more than a more powerful human."

Red A, standing to the side, frowned deeply. With just one Grim Reaper, a Gold Saint and the Pope had already been taken down; what about Hypnos?!

Sigh... how many Gold Saints will have to sacrifice their lives to seal it away? This Holy War is going to be so difficult.

The Myth of Hades

"Finally, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled." The Pope was overjoyed to see that he had truly succeeded in sealing Death, but he also felt sadness.

He couldn't save his apprentice, and in his attempt to seal away the Grim Reaper, Manigoldo lost his own life.

"Truly worthy of His Holiness the Pope—!!"

"Your Holiness, you are amazing!!!"

The Saints outside the Sanctuary cheered for the Pope who had paved the way for them; their achievement of sealing away the Grim Reaper was something they could be proud of.

Inside the papal chamber, Manigoldo walked up to the pope and placed his hand on the pope's shoulder like two brothers. This seemingly impolite gesture went unchallenged by anyone.

“Master, although we have indeed sealed the Grim Reaper, your plan is now useless.” Manigold, who was standing with his arm around Manigold’s shoulder like two brothers, looked slightly worried. The appearance of the video might disrupt his master’s plans.

The next step, sealing away the Grim Reaper, will not be so easy.

The Pope smiled calmly: "Didn't I say? Perhaps my plan isn't perfect, then I'll just come up with a perfect one!"

Death's abilities have been almost fully revealed. At this moment, he probably hates himself and Manigoldo immensely. In the upcoming Holy War, he might even come looking for them himself to take advantage of this.

Meanwhile, in the Aries Palace, Shion noticed the changes in the Papal Chamber and was about to go investigate when he encountered Manigoldo there.

The other person was holding the Pope's helmet, leaning against a stone pillar, but at this moment, his shadow was nowhere to be seen on the ground.

But he was still himself, still as carefree and unruly as ever, tossing the Pope's helmet to Shion.

"This is something my father gave to your father; I'm entrusting it to you from now on."

After Manigoldo finished speaking, his figure vanished, leaving only the Cancer Cloth, still shimmering with light, in the same spot.

Watching Manigoldo dissipate, Shion stood there, somewhat dazed, facing the blowing wind, without lingering, and continued towards the Papal Palace.

Meanwhile, in the distant Forest of Death, Pegasus also encountered the deceased Manigoldo.

Realizing what was happening, Pegasus sadly turned his head away. Seeing this, Manigoldo was the first to tease him, "What? Are you still a kid?"

"I'm sorry, I can no longer be your guardian—goodbye..."

Seeing Pegasus's sorrow and reluctance, Manigoldo said nothing more, turned with a carefree wave, and vanished completely in a flash of golden light.

"There was no shadow, and the severed leg was intact. What appeared before Shion was the remnant soul of Manigoldo that remained on the Cloth."

"My little Ma! This farewell without tears, without too many words, he was so carefree even in death."

Bro, you're dead now, so be serious and stop messing around with Pegasus...

Manigoldo truly lived a carefree life, seeing through life and death with unparalleled clarity. In the end, he still had to follow the crowd into that deep pit, just like what he saw at Yomotsu Hirasaka, and fall into hell.

Shion witnessed his comrades die before his eyes once again, and he didn't know what to think. But that's war; there's no time for grief, and there's nothing he can do about it.

People from other worlds also liked Manigoldo's personality. Although he seemed unruly on the surface, he did really cool things. In the Forest of Death, he told Pegasus that he would come back and he did, but unfortunately, only a remnant soul returned.

And I never expected that I would come back to say goodbye...

P.S.: There's no time to mourn them; the next one to step onto the battlefield is Goat. Let them see what Holy Sword II is all about.

Chapter 384 Capricorn El Cid!

[The scene shifts to Hades City, where Hypnos, the god of sleep, catches a chess piece falling from the sky; he has already sensed that Hypnos has been sealed away.]

However, Hypoplus remained completely relaxed, sipping his tea without any intention of saving Death. Instead, he scolded Thanatos for not being calm enough: "Thanatos, you fell into the trap because you underestimated your opponent."

"You can stay in that Ark of the Sacred Relic and calm down for a few hundred years. To God, it's just a fleeting moment."

He put down his teacup, and the four gods of the Dream Realm appeared out of thin air behind him, then respectfully knelt down to obey the God of Sleep's commands.

“There’s someone you need to deal with. Although he’s practically dead now, to prevent him from waking up, lock him up in the prison you’re guarding.”

"What true brothers! What a brotherly friendship... Not only did they watch the Grim Reaper being sealed away, but they also mocked him."

"Although I don't want to admit it, these few hundred years may be as short as a nap for a god."

However, this is the most desperate situation. Humans spent hundreds of years scheming and risking their lives, and at most they could only get God to lock them in a small dark room, which was of no consequence to God.

In Hypoplus's view, being sealed away for hundreds of years was nothing more than being like a mortal, essentially letting his younger brother have a good sleep and reflect on his actions.

People in other worlds also vaguely sensed something was wrong. The holy war that humans fought to the death might just be a game to the gods.

Sword Art Online World

"Tsk...this is going to be even harder to fight now."

On the lakeside in the southwest area of ​​the 22nd floor of Aincrad, Kirito, who was enjoying a leisurely married life in this beautiful setting, also had a slight frown.

Hypoplus's behavior was completely different from Thanatos's; he was extremely calm and did not underestimate anyone... Who could possibly defeat such an opponent!

"Sigh... I'm afraid just the death of Hypostasis alone will cost countless Saints their lives." Asuna, who had stepped down from the raiding team, sighed.

Hypoplus is like a boss on the first floor, with ridiculously strong power, just like the Grim Reaper. The key is that he is more intelligent than the Grim Reaper, and cannot be defeated by mere enthusiasm.

Perhaps the only way to bridge the huge gap in strength is through human lives.

Saint Seiya World

"There are still experts?! Just how difficult was the Holy War of the previous generation?" Leo Aiolia stared blankly at the four Dream Gods who had reappeared.

Four more gods have emerged. They may not be as powerful as the Twin Gods, but they are still gods, and their strength should be beyond what ordinary Gold Saints can handle.

Moreover, Hypnos, the god of sleep, is still lurking behind and hasn't even made a move yet. One threat after another, once Hades finishes painting the sky, the world will be doomed.

Aphrodite in the Pisces Palace shared the same thought: the ever-emerging gods of Hades' army added another layer of difficulty to the Holy War.

"But... since I'm still alive, it means the previous generation won."

What he couldn't understand was how the previous generation of predecessors had managed to defeat these enemies; they were simply too difficult to deal with.

Chaldea, the world of Type-Moon

Inside the research institute, Leonardo da Vinci watched this scene with a hint of despair and exclaimed, "There's simply no way to fight this!"

After going through so much trouble to seal away the Grim Reaper, and still not figuring out how to deal with the remaining Hypnos, the God of Sleep, the Four Dream Gods suddenly appeared... What's the point of fighting now?

"Does Athena really have no gods on her side?! Someone needs to step in and put on a show!"

Athena couldn't possibly be a lone commander with only 12 Gold Saints... As for the Bronze and Silver Saints? Da Vinci didn't think they would be of any use against such a force.

If this fight continues, let alone 12 Gold Saints, even 108 heroes wouldn't be enough to defeat them. They'll be exhausted sooner or later, and who knows what kind of god might appear during the fight?

Meanwhile, in the Sagittarius palace, Athena pushed open the door and entered, looking at the still unconscious Sagittarius Sisyphus... Opposite her, Capricorn El Cid crouched on the ground, carefully tending to this comrade with a gentle heart.

"Hades's injury struck the soul directly, which may be the reason preventing his awakening."

However, no matter what injuries he suffered, El Cid unconditionally believed that Sisyphus would awaken and return to the battlefield.

Suddenly, the space around Sisyphus began to fluctuate strangely, and one of the four gods of the Dream Realm appeared out of thin air before them.

El Cid immediately stepped in front of Athena, watching the scene ahead warily.

“I am Ikeros, one of the four gods of the dream world. I will accept this guy's soul.”

Before the two could even react, Ikeros had already pulled out Sagittarius's soul. In a flash, El Cid immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"How could I let you succeed?!"

El Cid swung his arm, sending a golden beam of light hurtling towards Icarus, but the distorted space redirected it, and Icarus vanished in an instant.

[Dohko and Shion, within the Sanctuary, also sensed this cosmos and immediately ran towards the Sagittarius Temple.]

At this moment, El Cid felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation: "Even if it's a trick of the gods, to appear so brazenly in the Sanctuary..."

[Therefore, he directly petitioned Athena to allow him to go and save Sisyphus's soul.]

"So you knew that too? The Sanctuary really is a place where Specters can come and go as they please."

"Good heavens, so arrogant! Just showing up in front of Athena like that..."

The people from other worlds were speechless at the arrogant Ikeros. The goddess Athena opposite them was at least comparable to Hades, and her strength should be about the same as Hades'... that is, their boss's boss, yet she was so arrogant.

But what really made everyone speechless was that Athena just stood there and watched... no, at least do something to save her! Why was she just standing there in a daze?

As for Dohko and Shion, no one wanted to talk about them anymore, and some even wanted to laugh. They just ran around in the Sanctuary the whole time, like street urchins just passing by.
