A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 180 Myths Illuminate the Future: Saga and Aiolos

Half of the sky above the entire Sanctuary turned pitch black, with countless stars dotting the heavens. At this moment, countless Saints couldn't help but look up at the sky, at the constellation that twinkled with stars.

To everyone's astonishment.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who was standing next to the furnace, seemed to be lost in a kind of enlightenment.

His consciousness seemed to be in a state of nothingness.

All around was a silent starry sky.

I can't feel time, I can't feel space.

There wasn't even a trace of it.

Even his own existence could not be felt at this moment.

"This is?"

Muttering to himself, Jiang Chen's eyes held a hint of doubt.

The figure wandered through this nothingness.

at the same time.

Modern time and space.

Sanctuary.

Inside the Papal Palace.

Alex is in a dilemma.

More than a year has passed, and the injuries he sustained while suppressing the Specters have begun to recur.

Now, his inner universe, and even his physical body, have begun to decline.

Given the current situation, it is unlikely that he will be able to fulfill his brother's last wish and lead the Saints to face the upcoming Holy War. Therefore, he has been looking for a new pope for some time now.

More than a year has passed.

Among the Gold Saints, besides Shaka, Saga and Aiolos also broke through to the Seventh Sense.

So far, there are already three young Gold Saints with the Seventh Sense in the entire Sanctuary.

As the reincarnation of Buddha, Shaka obviously cannot become the Pope of Sanctuary, so the only remaining choice is between Saga and Aiolos.

In terms of strength alone, Saga is undoubtedly more suitable.

He broke through to the Seventh Sense almost immediately after Shaka.

He is even stronger than Aiolos.

However, it is quite clear that as a pope, Saga seems to be far inferior to Aiolos.

In terms of both character and cultivation, Aiolos is undoubtedly superior. In particular, Saga's personality seems to have undergone a significant change in the past year or so. This change made Alex feel uneasy for some reason.

"Who should I choose?"

The soft voice spoke, and Alex fell into deep thought.

With his thoughts in turmoil, Alex was caught in a dilemma.

And within the twin uteruses.

A dialogue that could shake the entire Holy Land is about to unfold.

"Brother, do it! You won't have a chance!"

"That damned old man prefers Aiolos; he won't choose you as the next pope."

"Shut up, Galon! Do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know, my dear brother, but this land belongs to humankind. Why let the gods interfere? Deal with that damned old man, wait for Athena to descend, and then deal with Athena. Then this land will belong to you."

"shut up!"

"Galon, do you know what you're saying?"

Within the twin palaces, a powerful microcosm erupted, and in an instant, Galon's body was sent flying backward.

"brush!"

Saga appeared instantly and grabbed Kanon by the neck in a flash.

"Ahem!"

Despite his brother's tight grip on his neck, Galon showed no sign of backing down, his face flushed with excitement.

"Ahem!"

"My dear brother, am I wrong?"

"Isn't this your true inner self?"

Kanon spoke with difficulty, his eyes fixed intently on Saga.

"boom!"

Saga flicked his right hand, and his immense cosmos surged forth.

A tremendous roar erupted, and Galon's body was almost torn apart, yet a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Ha! Brother, just be honest!"

Indeed, my brother grew up like a god, incredibly kind! I, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, committing countless evil deeds since childhood. Despite being twin brothers, we were like angels and demons...

But I know very well that deep within my brother lurks the same evil as mine…

"Shut up!"

"boom!"

Galon's body flew backward again.

Then, she was embedded directly into the wall of the twin uteruses.

Saga lifted Kanon up in one swift motion.

"Kannon, we are the Saints responsible for protecting Athena, and I will not allow you to desecrate her!"

"You'd better go to the rocky prison at Cape Okumi and reflect on your actions!"

Saga spoke in a low growl, and his hair even began to turn white.

Saga, however, did not notice any of this at the moment.

His figure grabbed Galon directly.

"brush!"

The figure vanished in an instant.

The Seventh Sense's teleportation ability is activated in an instant.

The space of the earth was crossed.

Saga, with Kanon, went directly to Cape Omi.

"bump!"

With a flick of his right hand, Galon's body was flung directly into Cape Ooha.

At the same time, a vast cosmos instantly enveloped him, completely sealing Galon's figure within it.

"Saga, what are you doing?"

"Let me go!"

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm your brother!"

His body was thrown into the rocky prison at Cape Ookai, and at the same time, a vast cosmos enveloped him.

Galon was also momentarily flustered.

"Kannon, we are the Saints responsible for protecting Athena, and I will not allow you to desecrate her!"

"You just stay here and reflect on your actions!"

Saga's deep voice rang out again, carrying a solemn tone. The white had already faded, and his figure had returned to normal.

He gave Galon a cold look.

He then turned around and took to the air.

It looks like Saga is really about to leave.

Galon panicked at this moment.

This is Cape Okumi; his inner universe is sealed off.

He could really die if he were here.

"Saga! You...you bastard, you complete hypocrite! Do you really think you can hide your evil heart forever?"

What's wrong with having the power to fight for everything you want? Why can't you use the power given to you by God for your own benefit?

Kanon's roar echoed, but Saga didn't even turn his head.

The seawater gradually washed over Galon's head.

All that remained was Galon's increasingly faint roar.

Saga then returned to the Sanctuary.

Galon's disappearance went unnoticed by anyone.

Even Pope Alexstrasza did not notice this.

After all, for Pope Alexius, the most important thing right now is to choose a new pope.

In comparison, someone like Galon is naturally not a very important matter.

In this situation, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Alex finally made his decision.

this day.

The location of the Astrology Tower.

Pope Alexis stands alone here.

His gaze swept over the twinkling stars around him, and a solemn expression crept onto his face.

"More than forty more candidates have appeared. The number of Specters is flashing more and more clearly. It seems that the great battle is really approaching. It's a pity about my body..."

Alex spoke softly, a sigh lingering on his face.

As the most unique entity within the Sanctuary, the Astrological Tower can observe not only the newly born prospective Saints, but also the Specters. Over the course of this year, the number of newly born Saints has increased, and the number of Specters being inherited has also increased.

The result speaks for itself.

The holy war is drawing ever closer.

What saddened him was that the past repression caused his trauma to erupt even more intensely this year.

Even as they drew closer, Alex knew that his body probably wouldn't be able to hold out until then.

He glanced into the distance before dragging his weary body into the papal chamber. He instructed a Silver Saint standing outside the door, "Summon Sagittarius Aiolos and Gemini Saga to see me."

With those words spoken, Alex made up his mind completely.

He had been wavering between Saga and Aiolos, but at this moment he was completely certain it was Aiolos.

Saga may be stronger, but Aiolos is indeed more suitable to be the Pope, and only Aiolos can better guide the new Saints of the Sanctuary.

The Pope doesn't actually need to be the strongest, but only the most suitable.

Saga could become the Pope's advisor, just like he did for his brother Shion, and it would be enough for him to assist Aiolos.

Thoughts wander.

The Silver Saint bowed in response.

Saga and Aiolos were quickly summoned to the Papal Palace.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Aiolos and Saga both knelt before Pope Alexstrasz.

"Aiolos, Saga, Athena is about to descend to earth. In less than twenty years, the Holy War, which takes place every 243 years, will begin. Hades, the god of the underworld, and his Specters will sweep across the land, leaving death in their wake. This will be the most devastating war in our Sanctuary. Since the age of mythology, every Holy War has resulted in heavy casualties for the Saints, and even the Pope has not been spared. My body has reached its limit in the last Holy War and in past timelines, and I am afraid I can no longer take on the task of guiding the Saints. Aiolos and Saga, you are the Gold Saints I have the most faith in. I have decided to choose one of you as my successor to inherit the position of Pope after my death, to assist Athena in leading the Saints to defeat all enemies, maintain peace on earth, and save the earth from death."

Alex slowly spoke, and as he did, Aiolos and Saga both looked at him in shock.

At this moment, however, Alex's gaze did not care about the two of them. His majestic expression swept over the two of them and finally settled on Aiolos.

"Aiolos, you are the most outstanding Saint of this generation in the Sanctuary. You possess the most celebrated virtues of the Saints: wisdom, benevolence, and courage. I have decided that you will succeed as the next Pope."

Are you ready?

Alex spoke slowly.

The words that were spoken immediately made the two of them tense up again.

Saga felt a surge of anger within him in an instant.

It was quickly suppressed.

"Your Holiness, Saga might be more suitable than the virtues of a Saint!"

"I'm still quite a bit behind Saga."

After his initial shock, Aiolos quickly spoke respectfully.

"No!"

"Aiolos, you are too modest!"

"You are the most suitable candidate in my opinion!"

"Saga, for the sake of Sanctuary and Athena, I hope you can do your best to assist Aiolos and cultivate a large number of truly qualified Saints."

"To protect this land once again, to protect Athena."

Alex shook his head, then looked at Saga and spoke solemnly.

"Yes, Your Holiness, for the sake of the goddess and the earth, I will do everything in my power to help Aiolos, even at the cost of my life."

Saga spoke calmly.

However, as he spoke, the darkness within him continued to spread and even tried to take over his entire body.

"good!"

"Return to your respective palaces. I will announce this result to the entire Sanctuary tomorrow."

"Aeolus is now the new papal candidate!"

Alex nodded slightly, unaware of Saga's change.

However, just as he finished speaking, and as Saga and Aiolos stood up...

"Buzz!"

A terrifying microcosm instantly erupted within the Holy Domain.

The next moment, the once clear sky darkened instantly.

"What a terrifying little universe!"

Alex, Aiolos, and Saga all changed their expressions.

"brush!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

The three figures disappeared from the spot almost simultaneously.

When it reappears.

The three were already in outer space.

"That is?"

The three people's pupils contracted as they quickly noticed the huge commotion in the sky.

Adorned with countless stars, the twelve zodiac signs reappear.

At the same time, the constellation Ophiuchus, which had disappeared for more than a year, began to twinkle again.

"This is?"

Upon seeing this, Aiolos suddenly realized something and his gaze instantly turned to the distant border between his Centaur and Scorpio palaces.

"Ophiuchus?"

Saga muttered to himself, then quickly realized what was happening and looked over just as fast.

As the two spoke to themselves and their gazes met, Alex paused only briefly before their eyes met as well.

And this intertwining.

The three immediately noticed the huge changes between the Sagittarius and Scorpio palaces in the distance.

"Buzz!"

A ripple spread out, and the illusory palace reappeared faintly once more.

Just like before.

At this moment, seeing this scene, all three of them couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

Then, Aiolos and Saga both showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Jiang Chen's disappearance remained buried in their hearts.

The reappearance of the Ophiuchus Palace immediately excited them.

"Ophiuchus!"

"It's morning!"

Aiolos instinctively moved closer.

The same applies to Saga.

"Don't come any closer!"

Alex gave a soft shout, his expression turning serious.

This also caused Aiolos and Saga to abruptly stop their actions.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

Both of them couldn't help but look at Alex.

"Let's take a look!"

"Something's not right here!"

Alex spoke in a deep voice, his expression grave.

Even he couldn't understand the existence of the Ophiuchus Palace, and he certainly didn't want Aiolos and Saga to get into trouble again.

At that point, the Holy Land will be in real trouble.
