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

Chapter 375 Attacking the Holy Land (First Update)

"I have sealed Aphrodite away, and Milo has also begun to doubt the Pope. Cepheus."

After sealing Dick Musk, Li Chuan sat down with Mu, Tong Hu, and others and recounted the events of the past two days.

"Now that Athena has awakened, let's have a final battle!"

Having figured out the whole story, Mu spoke directly.

Tong Hu nodded in agreement.

Thirteen years ago, the two already knew that the Pope had a problem, but at that time they were outnumbered and didn't know where Aiolos had hidden Athena, so they had no choice but to keep quiet.

Now that Athena has awakened and has figured out everything that happened thirteen years ago, she can deal with the fake Pope and reclaim the Sanctuary as soon as possible, so that there will be more time to prepare for the Holy War.

Judging from the signs of the Demon Star now, the Holy War will begin in the next year or two.

"Alright, let's have a final battle!"

Li Chuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

He had originally planned to have Saga send more Saints over to weaken the Sanctuary's power.

But after thinking about it, now that the Sanctuary has already lost two Gold Saints, even if Saga is stupid, he would understand that sending Silver Saints would be useless.

Rather than waiting for Saga to pull off some unexpected move, it's better to strike first and start the final battle directly.

This brought things back under his control.

After discussing some details, Li Chuan took Zi Long back to the Kido Villa and gathered everyone to explain the plan for the final battle.

Saori Kido did not object to this, and in a very generous manner, she wrote a letter in advance to visit the Pope and had her subordinates deliver it to the Sanctuary.

As the true Athena, returning to her sacred realm should be done openly and honestly, not secretly.

Early the next morning.

Li Chuan, the five strong, the five weak, Shaina and the others, the people of Andromeda Island, the Crystal Saint, Marin and all the other Saints who stood on Athena's side, boarded Kido's private plane and flew to the Sanctuary.

A few hours later, the plane landed at the foot of Mount Sanctuary, and everyone arrived at the huge training ground.

Unlike when Li Chuan and Seiya came last time, the entire training ground was now completely silent, except for a Saint Seiya wearing a mask and a long robe, who was waiting there early in the morning.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Saori Kido? Welcome to the Sanctuary. The Pope is already waiting in the Papal Palace. Please follow me!"

The masked man greeted everyone politely as they disembarked from the plane, and then led them up the steps.

During this time, the masked man gave a brief introduction to the Twelve Palaces of Gold and told everyone that if they wanted to see the Pope, they had to pass through the Twelve Palaces of Gold.

Just as they were about to reach the first house, Aries, a group of people suddenly jumped down from the mountain in front of them, blocking their way.

"Misty the Lizard!"

"Moses the Cetus!"

"Adelion of Canes Venatici!"

"Centaurus Babylon!"

"Perseus Algol!"

"If you want to conquer the Twelve Gold Palaces, you'll have to get past us first!"

A dozen or so Silver Saints, leading four or five hundred Saint Realm soldiers, roared and charged towards Li Chuan and his group.

"Marble Tornado Fist, White Whale Super Coil Fist, Medusa Shield"

The powerful Silver Cosmo, accompanied by a series of unique special moves, made everyone pay close attention and prepare to fight.

However, at that moment, the masked man who had been leading the way quietly retreated behind everyone and suddenly lifted his robe:

"Let me, Trimme of Sagittarius, finish you off, Arrow of Illusion!"

Countless illusory arrows rained down on the crowd, and hidden among them was a golden arrow capable of killing gods.

Under the control of the arrow, while everyone was defending against various attacks from the front and back, the arrow struck Athena in the chest, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Pfft!"

The arrow struck precisely, and Athena fell to the ground.

"Miss Saori!"

When everyone saw Saori Kido fall to the ground, they all showed panic. They even lost the will to defend against the upcoming attacks of the Silver Saints above, as if they had given up all resistance.

"Hahaha, my mission is complete. This golden arrow will kill Kido Saori in just twelve hours, unless you can pass through the twelve golden palaces in twelve hours and find the Pope to come down and personally heal her."

When the Arrow Master saw the golden arrow hit Saori Kido, he burst into laughter.

And those Silver Saints were even more unruly:

"No need to bother with the Twelve Palaces of Gold, let's just finish you off here!"

Just as Li Chuan and the others were about to be hit by the Silver Saints' attacks, they collectively suppressed their panic and revealed a playful smile:

"I was just kidding, you actually took it seriously."

As their words fell, everyone, including Kido Saori who had already been hit by an arrow, turned into a wisp of smoke with a "bang" and disappeared from the spot.

All the Silver Saints' attacks missed, and they looked bewildered.

"Look there, on the steps of Aries Palace!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out, and all the Silver Saints and grunts turned around at once, then froze on the spot.

What they saw was a thousand identical Li Chuan figures, neatly lined up above them, looking at them with ill intent.

"To prevent you from causing trouble, you can rest for now!"

Five hundred Li Chuan clapped their hands:

"Celestial Art: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A torrent of water suddenly gushed out from the heights, like five hundred enormous waterfalls cascading down, sweeping the silver and holy domain soldiers towards the training ground at the foot of the mountain.

Faced with this power that was like a natural disaster, those Saint Realm soldiers had no power to resist at all.

Those silver-ranked individuals, on the other hand, managed to stay afloat by relying on their burning cosmos and Saint Cloths.

"Celestial Technique: Earth Walk!"

Li Chuan was not surprised to see this. The other five hundred shadow clones simultaneously unleashed the enhanced version of the Lightning Release: Earth Walk Sage Technique, and the super-strong electric current surged into the bodies of those silver figures that were struggling to hold on.

A few seconds later, they were swept away by the water, their eyes rolling back in their heads.

After finishing all this, Li Chuan deactivated his shadow clone, then took out a small box from his pocket and released Kido Saori and the others inside.

Li Chuan knew long ago that Saga would definitely attack Kido Saori, so how could he let such a thing happen?

You must know that the golden arrow was a divine arrow that Athena bestowed upon the Pope by the previous generation, capable of killing gods. If Kido Saori were to be shot, even his healing magic and medical ninjutsu probably wouldn't be able to save her.

He didn't want to lead everyone to fight their way up one by one; he didn't know how many people would have to die before they could reach Saga.

So before getting off the plane, he temporarily put everyone into his small box, which he had expanded using the Invisible Stretch Charm, and then temporarily replaced them with Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique.
