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

Chapter 564 All-Out Attack (First Update)

Regarding the Blood of the Goddess, Li Chuan actually had his own plan all along.

As a cultivator, especially one who had once massacred the Blood Demon Sect and absorbed the Blood Spring into the Tsukuyomi world, he naturally had some knowledge of many spells related to blood.

If he could obtain a sample of Athena's blood, he could use the power of the laws in the Tsukuyomi world and apply corresponding blood magic to replicate Athena's blood in large quantities.

At that time, all Saints will be blessed with Athena's blood, and as long as their cosmos is strong enough, they can also unleash the potential of their Cloths and allow them to evolve.

Anyway, he planned to wait until he had copied enough Athena's blood, then soak the Sagittarius Gold Cloth in the blood for a period of time to activate it into a God Cloth.

"If it's truly possible, then in this holy war we will launch a counterattack against the Underworld and end all of this once and for all!"

Finally, Athena waved her golden scepter and made her decision.

So the group quickly arrived at Athena's temple and used Athena's blood to restore the 248-year-old statue of Athena to the form of Athena's Cloth.

Li Chuan also received some of Athena's blood samples and returned to his own Tsukuyomi world to begin the process of blood production.

And so, a peaceful month passed in the blink of an eye, and three days before the alignment of the nine stars.

Li Chuan, carrying a large bucket of goddess blood, reappeared in the Papal Palace.

"All Saint Seiya warriors, assemble in the plaza!"

Half an hour later, in the large plaza below the Sanctuary, Li Chuan was smearing Athena's blood on the Saint Cloths of the Saints while loudly giving a pre-battle pep talk.

"To save all of humanity and to thwart Hades' ambitions, the great Athena sacrificed her blood, allowing you to enter the Underworld to fight. This is your honor."

From this day forward, you are all Saints bathed in the blood of Athena, an honor never before bestowed upon a Saint in any previous Holy War.

Therefore, you must give it your all in the battles to come.

For humanity, for the Sanctuary, for Athena, victory is certain!

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

Seeing their Saint Cloths instantly transformed after being stained with Athena's blood, and then looking at the female Athena sitting at the top, all the Saints were instantly filled with excitement.

He wished he could rush into the underworld immediately, tear the Specters apart with his bare hands and trample Hades under his feet.

As the passion within the Saints burned, their inner cosmos grew stronger imperceptibly.

The microcosm is a somewhat idealistic energy system; the stronger one's spirit, the more one can unleash the potential of the microcosm.

Li Chuan's pre-battle mobilization was also aimed at maximizing the Saint Seiya's cosmos, so that they could work together to defeat Hades when they went to the Underworld.

As for those Specters, there's no need to worry at all; a few Gold Saints can easily take them down.

Without the restraint of the Underworld, the Gold Saints, unleashing their full power, completely overwhelmed the so-called three Judges of the Underworld and all other Specters.

The only beings the underworld truly needs to be wary of are the chief god Hades and the two secondary gods, Death and Hypnos.

"We can announce our departure now."

After the mobilization ended, Li Chuan carried the unused bucket of goddess's blood to Athena's side.

Athena looked at the remaining half of the blood in the bucket and felt something was off. She was certain that the blood was indeed hers, but she had only given Li Chuan a few drops before.

"All Saints, heed my command! All troops, attack!"

Coming to her senses, Athena picked up her golden scepter, stood up, and pointed it in the direction of Hades' city.

Hades Castle, Thuringia, Germany.

This generation of Pandora, who was playing the harp, suddenly stopped.

"That foolish Rhadamanthus, he ruined my plans, he deserves to die."

How could she not know that Shion was not truly loyal to Hades? Letting Shion go back to assassinate Athena was just a diversionary tactic, so that she could wait for the nine-star alignment solar eclipse plan to begin.

Who knew that Radamanthys would not report to her and would secretly lead his subordinates and Shion to the Sanctuary.

If they had successfully assassinated Athena, it would have been understandable. But they not only failed, they also leaked a lot of information.

As a result, all the Saints in the entire Sanctuary have left the Sanctuary and are now attacking this area together.

"Notify everyone that we are temporarily retreating to the Underworld."

After rising and giving orders to her subordinates, Pandora took one last look at the castle, and then, through the necklace given to her by Hades, instantly entered the underworld.

She was originally a noblewoman from Heinstein City. She accidentally unlocked the Ark of Death and Hypnos, which sealed the souls of the two gods, and was thus made Hades' sister in this life.

At that moment, the entire city of Heinstein was enveloped by Hades' cosmos, and all her relatives died. Heinstein was then transformed into Hades' Castle, which became the base for the Specters in the human world.

Only the dead can enter the Underworld. Once the Specters retreat to the Underworld, Athena and the Saints will be powerless to stop them.

All that's left is to wait quietly for the nine stars to align, and victory in this holy war will be easily secured.

Half an hour after Pandora led all the Specters back to the Underworld, Li Chuan also appeared above the castle on a cloud, bringing Athena and all the Saints of Sanctuary.

"Looks like they've already evacuated. Let's go in then!"

Li Chuan swept his divine sense across Hades Castle and found it empty. He then punched the entire castle to pieces and led everyone into the passage leading to the underworld beneath the castle.

Thanks to Athena's cosmos and Li Chuan's magic protection, all the Saints landed safely, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being knocked unconscious by landing face-first as in the original story.

The underworld is bound by Hades' laws, preventing flight and teleportation; one can only travel on foot.

Led by Athena, the Sanctuary army marched in a mighty procession to the Gates of Hell, the very first entrance to the Underworld. It was a massive stone gate with the inscription:

"Those who enter the underworld must abandon all hope."

Hades created the underworld, which consists of eight regions, starting from the River Styx and divided into eight hells, three valleys, ten moats, and four rings. Only after traversing all these regions can one finally reach Hades' temple.

At the end of the temple is the Wall of Sighs; breaking the Wall of Sighs will reveal the passage to Elysium.

"Saints are warriors of hope; they will never abandon hope!"

Wearing the Sagittarius Cloth, Li Chuan took the lead, guiding all the Saints through the Gates of Hell and officially stepping into Hell.

Moving swiftly forward along the black muddy ground, a very wide river soon blocked the army's path.

It is the River Styx in hell. Because the flow of the water is divided into three types—slow, normal, and rapid—based on the actions of the deceased in their previous life, it is also called the River of Three Crossings.
