He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 354 Two Li Chuan (First Update)

"Miss Saori!"

When they saw Ikki shatter the glass of the private room with a single punch, revealing a flustered Kido Saori inside, Seiya and the others were immediately alarmed and were about to step forward to stop him.

They did harbor resentment towards Kido Mitsumasa, but that resentment was directed only at Kido Mitsumasa.

When Mitsumasa Kido sent them away, Saori Kido was just a seven-year-old girl like them. Although she was a bit willful, she didn't have any say in the matter.

Moreover, after returning and learning of Mitsumasa Kido's death, most of his resentment had subsided. In addition, Saori Kido had been very tolerant of them these past few days and had done a very good job in every way.

So when they saw Ikki about to kill Saori Kido, out of their inner kindness and sense of justice, they instinctively wanted to protect her.

Of course, there's another point that Li Chuan believes also accounts for a large part of the reason: the dual influence of Saori Kido's beauty and the Athena cosmos hidden within her.

"Your opponent is us!"

Dark Pegasus, Dark Black Bird, and Dark Fairy attacked simultaneously, stopping Seiya, Hyoga, and Shun respectively.

As for the remaining five weaker ones—Unicorn Jabu, Ursa Major Geki, Leo Minor Ban, Jackal Nachi, and Hydra Ichi—Jabu and Nachi had just been dealt with by Ikki and were still lying on the ground.

The other three faced off against three Dark Shadow Phoenix minions.

"It's time to send you on your way!"

Ikki leaped into the private room on the high platform, looking at Kido Saori and Tatsumi with murderous intent.

"Ikki, how dare you hurt Miss!"

Although Tatsumi's legs trembled with fear at Ikki's murderous aura, he still stood in front of Kido Saori.

"Ahem, I think we should sit down and talk things out. Fighting and killing is not good."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared next to Kido Saori.

It was Li Chuan who had teleported over.

He glanced at Tatsumi with slight surprise, then greeted Kido Saori in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Hello, Ms. Saori, my name is Li Chuan, and I'm Seiya's friend."

Tatsumi is not a good person; in fact, he could be considered somewhat bad. Back then, he beat Ikki quite a bit on the way to Death Queen Island because Ikki had talked back to him.

But he was indeed very loyal to the Kido family, and was even willing to sacrifice his own life to protect Kido Saori.

It's just that human nature is sometimes hard to explain.

"Hello, Mr. Li Chuan, thank you for your help."

Despite her fear, Saori stood up and politely bowed to Li Chuan.

At this time, Saori Kido had not yet fully awakened; she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. The Galaxy Tournament and a series of plans were all arranged by her grandfather, Mitsumasa Kido, before his death.

Therefore, she was also very afraid of Ikki, but when she saw Li Chuan appear in front of her, she couldn't help but feel more favorably towards him.

"It seems that you chose to save people over protecting the Gold Cloth, so I won't hold back."

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear, Yi Hui stopped in his tracks.

His main purpose in coming here to kill Kido Saori was actually to lure Li Chuan, whose strength he didn't yet fully understand, to this place, and then obtain the Sagittarius Gold Cloth first.

The primary purpose of this return is to obtain the Gold Cloth; revenge is secondary.

However, Li Chuan shook his head:

"That's not entirely true."

Upon hearing this, Ikki instinctively turned to look in the direction of the Gold Saint Cloth below, but his eyes widened in surprise:

"That's impossible!"

What did he see? He saw that in front of the box containing the Golden Cloth, Li Chuan was still standing there, unmoved, without having moved an inch.

She glanced at Li Chuan standing next to Kido Saori, then at Li Chuan below, and then at Li Chuan next to Kido Saori again.

Finally, Ikki's brow unfurrowed:

"They're twins!"

His powerful spirit could sense that both Li Chuan figures were real entities, not illusions.

Therefore, only the explanation of twins can be found.

"Well, not really."

Li Chuan shrugged and gave the same answer as before.

They are definitely not twins, because the one below is a shadow clone created by Li Chuan.

Although the Shadow Clone doesn't have the Sharingan or Rinnegan, nor a powerful physical body, it possesses half of his chakra and half of his magic power. Dealing with the Dark Heavenly Dragon and those Dark Shadow Phoenixes shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Hmph, you still haven't put on your Saint Cloth? Are you looking down on us?!"

Upon arriving before Li Chuan, the arrogant Dark Dragon was enraged to see that Li Chuan had not yet put on his holy armor.

He felt that the other person was insulting him.

"It's not that I disrespect you, it's just that I really don't have any Saint Cloth to wear."

Li Chuan replied with a smile.

He deliberately spoke louder so that Saori Kido, who was sitting above, could hear him clearly.

"He who doesn't even have a Saint Cloth is not worthy to fight me. Go and deal with him!"

Dark Dragon paused for a moment upon hearing this, then stood there with his arms crossed, signaling the eight Dark Saints behind him to make their move.

He wasn't trying to have his subordinates test Li Chuan's strength; he was genuinely proud and unwilling to fight someone without a Saint Cloth.

Li Chuan grinned when he saw this.

All the villains in this world have a very similar characteristic: they all think they are very strong. Even though they could easily defeat their opponents by joining forces, they insist on attacking them one by one.

If Saga had brought all the Gold and Silver Saints loyal to him to kill Athena from the beginning, even if the five main characters had all the advantages, they would not have been able to win.

Poseidon and Hades were the same; if they had just mobilized all their forces and concentrated their power to defeat Athena in one fell swoop, they would have been guaranteed to win. Instead, they had to let their subordinates practice on the five Bronze Saints one by one, resulting in their defeats.

They're all incredibly arrogant. Every time, they claim their skill is the strongest, unbreakable, and unstoppable, only to get slapped in the face.

"Since you don't want to fight me, then fight your own people!"

Seeing the eight Dark Saints rushing towards him, Li Chuan clasped his hands together:

"Celestial Art: Shadow Imitation Technique!"

Eight thin shadow lines shot out from beneath him in an instant, connecting with the shadows of the eight Dark Saints who were completely unaware.

His body is a shadow clone; it will disappear if he gets hit in close combat. However, he is afraid that using powerful ninjutsu would cause too much damage to the field and be too bloody.

The audience is currently watching, and the event is being broadcast live globally. Making it too bloody is not a good idea.

So he used the Nara family's ninjutsu, the Shadow Imitation Technique, which was enhanced by Sage Mode and was even more effective. Moreover, Saints who were unaware of the situation would not be able to guard against this ninjutsu at all.

During a battle, everyone's attention is focused on the enemy; who would notice any changes in the shadows?

Moreover, the speed of Li Chuan's shadow after his immortal magic enhancement was indeed astonishing; even if these Dark Saints wanted to dodge, they might not be able to.
