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

Chapter 366 Heavenly Punishment with Lightning (First Update)

"Right now, everyone in the Sanctuary probably thinks we're traitors. We can't go in like this."

Near the stone house below the Sanctuary, Li Chuan stopped Seiya, who was trying to sneak in.

"What should we do then?"

Seiya scratched his head.

"Stay still, I'll make you invisible."

Li Chuan reached out and touched Seiya, casting an illusion spell on him, and then cast the same spell on himself.

"You can only hide your body, so remember to shrink your cosmos as much as possible, otherwise you will still be easily detected by some Saints with keen senses."

The principle behind the Illusion Spell is to use the power of magic to reflect light. Ordinary people cannot detect it, but it certainly cannot escape the notice of those Saints with keen mental power.

Seiya is rather thick-skinned, so it's necessary to remind him.

"Brother Chuan, to be honest, if you told me you could fly, I would believe you now."

Seiya had become somewhat numb to the various abilities Li Chuan had displayed.

Li Chuan smiled and gave a thumbs up:

"I can indeed fly. I didn't expect you to guess this new technique before I even used it. Impressive!"

Seiya: "."

Except for a few Saint Cloths with wings, most Saint Cloths do not actually have the ability to fly.

Of course, Saint Seiya can run very fast. They can jump very far like the Hulk, and they can also stay in the air for a short time using certain techniques.

However, the fact that the Gold Saints' punches can reach the speed of light does not mean that their movement speed can also reach the speed of light.

In this respect, it is inferior to the combined Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords. The combined Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords achieves a flight speed of light, which is why it was able to defeat the Nether Spring Old Demon, who already possessed the strength of a Celestial Immortal, without any chance to fight back.

However, the combined use of the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords is extremely taxing on the body and depletes true essence, making it impossible to maintain for long.

And so, the two invisible figures passed through the stone house and soon arrived at the training ground above, where they began searching for Marin.

Being pressed down by a boulder while preparing to do push-ups means you'll be crushed to death if you can't hold on. You'll be scrambling out of the pit with large iron blocks hanging from your body, or you'll be impaled by the iron spikes below.

Anyone who tries to escape the Holy Land will be thrown up and whipped relentlessly until they are killed, then hauled away in cartloads.

One after another, bloody and cruel training scenes appeared before Li Chuan and Seiya. It didn't feel like they were training Saint Seiya warriors, but rather like they were raising poisonous insects. Those who survived were probably not kind or righteous at all.

"That's too cruel!"

Seiya looked at the training taking place in the square and couldn't help but want to step forward to stop it, but Li Chuan grabbed him.

"It's not the right time yet."

Making a move now would be tantamount to suicide; once you encounter a Gold Saint, escape will be difficult.

Even if it's teleportation, no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as someone's light-speed punch. The moment there's a ripple in space, the person would probably fall down. Besides, there are several Saint Seiya who are also skilled in spatial abilities.

If you fly, someone will jump up next to you and smash you down with a lightning-fast punch.

"But them!"

Seiya glanced around and saw many familiar faces. Although they weren't exactly friends, and there had even been some conflicts between them, they had trained together for six years after all, and he didn't want to see them get killed like that.

Li Chuan stroked his chin, then pulled Seiya to a secluded spot.

"Don't move, watch me."

He concealed his inner power to its lowest point, then silently recited a weather incantation.

Suddenly, the once clear sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Then bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking precisely the Sanctuary soldiers who wielded whips and were loyal to the new Pope and Gigas, knocking them to the ground and unable to get up.

These lightning bolts might not be very effective against Gold Saints, but they're fine against ordinary Sanctuary grunts.

If they go all out, even a Silver Saint would be in serious trouble if hit.

The key point is that he used magic, not cosmos. No matter how powerful a Gold Saint is, they couldn't possibly detect his location with that, and they would probably be completely bewildered.

Just like Seiya at this moment.

There has never been a Saint Seiya in this world who could summon clouds and rain and control lightning to strike people down from the sky.

This ability seems to be something only gods in mythology could possess.

"Brother Chuan, you're not going to tell me you're a reincarnation of a god, are you?"

"Of course not, it's just a special technique, not very powerful, only good for dealing with these grunts."

Li Chuan smiled and shrugged.

Upon seeing this, those in the training ground below knelt on the ground and shouted loudly towards the summit of the Holy Land:

"This is divine punishment! It must be Athena taking pity on us and sending down this punishment!"

Meanwhile, Saga, who was lying on the huge balcony of the Papal Palace, drunk on fine wine and being served by a dozen beautiful women, suddenly stood up as he watched the bolts of lightning fall.

"Summon the chief of staff to see me!"

The lightning was clearly abnormal, but he didn't sense any powerful cosmos within the Sanctuary besides those few Gold Saints.

Li Chuan and Seiya are currently at the Bronze level in their Cosmos, just a tiny bit short of Silver, so naturally they won't be taken seriously by Saga.

A moment later, a large-bearded old man with a cane walked in looking flustered.

"Report to the Pope, that lightning strike just now killed all the personnel responsible for supervising the training ground. Now everyone below is saying that this is divine punishment, Athena's retribution for those people."

Saga frowned upon hearing this, then tapped his fingers:

"Then let's suspend training for a while. Have you heard anything from Sharna?"

The law does not punish the masses, and now that everyone's dissatisfaction with this bloody training has been clearly aroused, he cannot kill all of them.

Although these people are as insignificant as ants, they will still be needed to rule the world in the future.

The most important thing now is to kill Athena.

"The previous message said they had arrived at the location, and we expect to hear from them tonight that they have retrieved their Gold Cloths. Your Majesty, please rest assured, those Bronze Saints will not be a match for Shaina and the others."

"If they fail, you're fired as chief of staff."

The Gold Cloths must not be lost; the mortals who steal them are unforgivable, and the Bronze Saints who dare to betray Sanctuary deserve to die as well. After informing Shaina and the others that the Gold Cloths had been obtained, those who blasphemed were executed immediately.

Saga crushed the glass in his hand, startling Gigas so much that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He was the Pope's confidant, so he knew all too well how ruthless and cold-blooded the Pope was. If things weren't handled well, even he probably wouldn't escape death.

After Gigas left, Saga looked at the dissipating dark clouds outside and murmured:

"Athena, this world doesn't need gods, I am a god!"
