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

Chapter 377 The Battle of Gold (Third Update)

"Hmph, just as the Pope said, they stole Athena's scepter, trying to deceive the Gold Saints. Capricorn has always been the most loyal Gold Saint, and having been granted the Holy Sword by Athena, how could they be fooled by your tricks?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Shura's eyes, but he then answered firmly and loudly.

Shaka, who was sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed, had a slight change in expression after sensing Athena's cosmos, but quickly returned to calm.

"You say the Pope is an evil traitor, but I, Shaka, possess the ability to see through the essence of the mind. Under my observation, His Holiness the Pope has no evil in his heart."

Therefore, you are the true traitors. Accept your judgment, and submit to the Heavenly Demon!

As he spoke, his inner universe erupted instantly, and numerous illusions, including the Eastern Heavenly Court, the Great Thunder Temple in the Western Paradise where Amitabha Buddha preached, the Twenty-Four Heavens of India, and Jehovah's Paradise, instantly enveloped everyone.

Then countless attacks came from all directions.

With just this one move, he instantly took down everyone except Li Chuan, Kido Saori, Albiot, Mu, and Aldebaran.

"Shaka, since that's the case, then let me, Aries Mu, be your opponent!"

Mu leaped forward and went straight to face Shaka.

"Starlight Extinction!"

"Li Chuan, continue forward with Athena."

After stopping Shaka, Mu spoke to Li Chuan telepathically.

Seeing that Shaka was being intercepted, Shura was about to come over and finish off Athena, but was stopped by Aldebaran of Taurus.

"The Great Horn!"

Thus, Mu faced off against Shaka, and Aldebaran against Shura, and the Golden Clash began.

"Let's go."

Seeing this, Li Chuan did not stop to help, and together with Albio of Cepheus, they protected Athena and continued to move forward.

Aldebaran and Shura are evenly matched, and it's estimated that they could fight for days and nights without a clear winner.

But if Mu faces Shaka, to be honest, if Shaka is serious, Mu probably won't last long.

Shaka's greatest strength lies in group attacks, and given that he spends years honing his cosmos with his eyes closed, his power will only increase when he opens them. Even if all of them join in to help, the fight will likely be extremely difficult.

Instead of doing that, why not take Athena to the Golden Palace below first, continue to subdue Aiolia, Milo, and Camus, and then come back together to deal with Shaka and Shura?

Moreover, they also need to be wary of Saga. If Saga suddenly launches a sneak attack while they are fighting Shaka, things will be even worse.

After Li Chuan and the others disappeared, Mu, who was fighting Shaka, spoke up:

"Shaka, do you really think we've been deceived? With your intelligence, I don't think you would be so fooled!"

"Mu, I know you haven't been deceived, but what I saw in the Pope's heart was indeed righteous and kind, so let's leave it at that for now. Don't even think about helping him, and I won't try to stop them from moving forward."

Shaka clasped his hands together, using the Immovable Hades technique to resist Mu's attack, and stopped retaliating.

In fact, Li Chuan already knew this: the reason why Shaka saw the Pope's heart as full of justice and kindness was because he saw Saga's truest heart.

However, the one controlling the body now is not Saga, but an evil spirit.

As the man closest to God, Shaka's divinity outweighs his humanity in most cases. Therefore, he always focuses on the essence rather than the outward appearance, and he doesn't care what the Pope does.

As long as the Pope's essence is justice and goodness, then he believes the Pope is just.

This is why he never doubted the Pope before and stood firmly on the Pope's side.

However, when he actually saw Saori Kido and the others, he was somewhat confused, because these people were also righteous and kind at heart, and were not evil.

So he chose to leave Mu and himself to fight here, while letting Li Chuan and the others continue forward, and then make a judgment based on the situation later.

"The exit is just ahead!"

As Cepheus Albiot saw the exit faintly appearing ahead, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, Li Chuan suddenly stopped and protected Athena, saying warily:

"Watch out, there's a murderous aura."

"Your senses are quite sharp. Since Shaka and Shura didn't kill you, I'll have to do it myself!"

A masked man in a papal robe emerged from beside a pillar.

Upon seeing this, Albiot exclaimed in surprise:

"Pope Alexis!"

"He should be called Gemini Saga more appropriately."

Li Chuan stood in front, transmitting his thoughts to Albiot through divine sense:

"I'll stop him in a bit. You take Athena and continue forward. Once Athena has subdued the other Gold Saints, we'll all come and help together."

Actually, if Albiot were stronger, he would have wanted Albiot to stop Saga while he took Athena to find the other Gold Saints, since that would have been much safer.

Unfortunately, although Albiot has awakened his seventh sense and has reached a level comparable to the Gold Saints, he would likely be instantly defeated by Black Saga at his peak, and would not be able to stop him at all.

If he were to go all out now, he probably wouldn't be a match for Black Sa. However, he has many abilities and strong survival skills. Even if he doesn't aim to defeat Black Sa, just stalling for time shouldn't be a big problem.

"It seems you've already guessed my identity. In that case, there's no need to hide anything any longer. I'll just send you to the underworld right here in my Gemini Palace!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan suddenly reveal his identity, Saga was startled, then lifted his mask, revealing his appearance that he had kept hidden for thirteen years.

He reached out and summoned the Gemini Gold Cloth, donning it and instantly boosting his immense cosmos to its limit.

"I heard from Milo that the two of you teamed up to defeat Aphrodite, and then used your spatial abilities to escape when he wasn't looking. It seems you have some skill. I wonder if you can withstand one of my attacks."

He had initially been skeptical of Milo's report from Fairy Island, but after sensing the inner universe within the new Sagittarius, he came to believe it.

Even if a Sagittarius's internal cosmos is only at the Silver level, their strength could not possibly reach the Gold level, even if they are wearing a Gold Cloth.

With the addition of Cepheus Albiote, who has awakened his Seventh Sense, defeating Aphrodite would be difficult enough; defeating Milo would be out of the question.

With that kind of strength, he could kill someone in a single move.

"Galactic Explosion!"

"It seems that Milo didn't tell Saga the whole truth after returning to Sanctuary."

Upon hearing Saga's words, Li Chuan immediately understood the situation, and his right kaleidoscope spun rapidly:

"Sage Art: Tsukuyomi!"

Saga vanished from the spot the instant he finished his attack.

"Hurry up!"

With a loud shout from Li Chuan, Albiot, who possessed near-Gold-level strength, vanished from the Gemini Palace in the blink of an eye, along with Athena.
