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

Chapter 368 Unconventional Strategies (Third Update)

"Seiya, do this once, then do it again."

As Aiolia carefully placed the unconscious Marin on a nearby rock, Li Chuan once again used telepathy to communicate his plan to Seiya.

Thankfully, Aiolia wasn't wearing his Gold Cloth, otherwise things would have been really troublesome today.

While the Gold Cloth may not be the absolute boost to a Gold Saint's offensive capabilities, its improvement to their defensive capabilities is enormous.

For example, two Gold Saints with similar strength.

The attack from the one not wearing the Saint Cloth wouldn't be much weaker than the one wearing the Saint Cloth, but if the one not wearing the Saint Cloth were to take a hit from the one wearing the Saint Cloth, they would probably die on the spot.

Conversely, the one wearing the Saint Cloth was hit but was basically unharmed.

"You are no match for me. Give up resistance and come with me to the Pope to explain yourselves. I will plead for you."

Aiolia ignited his golden cosmos and walked towards Li Chuan and the other person. The oppressive aura made it difficult for Seiya, who was narrating the scene, to even stand up.

"It seems I have no choice but to show some real skills."

With a roar, Li Chuan activated his second form, instantly transforming into a towering giant. Then, his true essence and chakra merged, entering Sage Mode. All eight gates within his body were opened, and his cosmos, approaching that of a Silver Saint, burned to its limit.

Aiolia, who had previously disregarded Li Chuan, couldn't help but stop in his tracks upon seeing this, a serious expression appearing on his face.

"It's incredible that such a small universe can possess such a powerful aura!"

In his perception, Li Chuan's cosmos was extremely weak, not even reaching the level of a Silver Saint. Compared to the ultimate Gold cosmos, which he had already mastered the Seventh Sense, it was far inferior.

However, his intuition told him that if he wasn't serious in the upcoming battle, he might be in danger.

"Aiolia, take this full-force attack, Night Guy!"

Li Chuan was enveloped in golden Sage Chakra, transforming into a giant golden dragon, and kicked towards Aiolia.

Aiolia's eyes lit up with admiration upon seeing this.

"To be able to unleash such an attack, Li Chuan, I acknowledge your strength. To show my respect, I will respond with my strongest move."

The sheer force of the wind alone was enough for Aiolia to know that the power of his opponent's kick was already very close to that of a Gold Saint.

A Bronze Saint, without wearing a Saint Cloth, actually unleashed a move with power approaching that of a Gold Saint; this truly deserves his respect.

The other party will surely be very happy to know that he is willing to use his ultimate move.

"Atomic speed of light."

Aiolia raised his arm, staring at Li Chuan who was coming towards him, preparing to defeat him with the Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist, when suddenly the scene changed and he found himself in a strange place.

Furthermore, his body was somehow bound to a cross.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that Aiolia had fallen into his trap and been sent into the Tsukuyomi space by his Sage Art Tsukuyomi, Li Chuan changed his footing and turned to Seiya, who had already reunited with Marin. He grabbed one of them with each hand and ran frantically towards the outside of the Sanctuary.

Just kidding, how could he possibly fight Aiolia in the Sanctuary?

Even setting aside the fact that he might not have been able to defeat Aiolia's Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist in that state, even if he could, as long as it wasn't an instant kill, Aiolia's unleashing of such a powerful cosmos would definitely attract the attention of Saga and the other Gold Saints.

If we attract a few more Gold Saints then, we really won't be able to escape.

So the pose he just adopted, as if he was about to unleash a powerful attack, wasn't actually meant to lead to a bloody battle with Aiolia. It was just to make Aiolia think that way, thus lowering his guard.

In this way, he can activate the Sage Art Tsukuyomi and temporarily bring it into the Tsukuyomi world.

Even with Aiolia's strength, he couldn't harm the opponent even if he were taken into the Tsukuyomi world, but three days in the Tsukuyomi world is only one second in the outside world.

Don't underestimate this one second. In his current state of full power, one second is enough for him to take Seiya and Marin and rush out of here to the outside of the Sanctuary barrier.

If the Sanctuary Barrier is no longer in effect, there's still a good chance of interfering with Aiolia's teleportation escape.

They sped along, and just as the second was about to end and Aiolia was about to be released from the Tsukuyomi world, Li Chuan led Seiya and Marin out of the Sanctuary's barrier and arrived at the place where Shaina had previously blocked Seiya.

"Finally out! Wait, we've arrived at the foot of Mount Sanctuary."

When Aiolia reappeared, he found himself no longer at the training ground, but at the foot of Mount Sanctuary. Li Chuan, with Seiya in one hand and Marin in the other, was standing in front of him.

While only a second had passed in the outside world, he and Li Chuan had been fighting for three days in the Tsukuyomi world.

Neither side was injured during those three days.

Even with Aiolia's powerful punches in the Tsukuyomi world, he couldn't harm Li Chuan's phantom, also due to Aiolia's powerful cosmos and light-speed punch.

Li Chuan's mental suppression and the magical flying sword wings were also unable to harm Aiolia.

In addition, the Gold Saints have extremely strong endurance in battle. When they encounter an opponent of equal strength, it can even develop into a so-called "thousand-day war," which means fighting continuously for a thousand days.

So the current situation is that, apart from the location changing, the strength of both sides has not changed.

"Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist!"

The moment he emerged, Aiolia unleashed his strongest attack on Li Chuan.

He hasn't figured out how he fell for the illusion-like move the other party just made. In order not to fall for it a second time, he decided to show no mercy and deal with Li Chuan as soon as possible.

However, Li Chuan had anticipated this, and directly used the unconscious Mo Ling, who was sandwiched next to him, as a shield in front of him.

Sure enough, upon seeing Marin ahead, Aiolia immediately unleashed his cosmos and forcibly stopped his Atomic Light Speed ​​Fist.

In that brief delay, Li Chuan had already activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared with Marin and Seiya.

"So he has spatial abilities, no wonder he escaped here."

Only then did Aiolia realize that Li Chuan didn't want to fight him at all; everything he did was to escape with Marin and Seiya.

However, as he thought of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Deep down, he naturally didn't want to hurt the three of them, nor did he want to bring them to the Pope, but his duty as a Saint forced him to do so.

He was actually happy that the three of them had escaped from him using their strength.

"Marin, I hope you'll be happier after you leave the Sanctuary!"
