Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Are you willing to do that, Artemis? Hades, Poseidon, and Athena fought battle after battle for the right to rule the earth."

"Why am I reluctant? I've always felt that God is God, and should reside high in the heavens, overlooking all the changes on earth, and should not have too deep an interaction with humankind."

"Is this the conclusion you reached while residing in the Moon Palace?"

Apollo paused, then continued:

"Since you've already agreed, then let's do it this way."

However, Saga was spared from death.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Saori Kido:

"Is this alright, Saori Kido?"

That's good.

Saori Kido nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"I think that, given the chance, the protagonist of the story would actually prefer a peaceful life to an epic journey."

Chapter 634 This wolf cub is going too far!

Chapter 634, Section 635: This wolf cub is going too far!

It's not surprising that Athena, the goddess of war, dislikes war.

After all, she had been reincarnated too many times in the human world, always living as a human.

Compared to other deities, they are better at thinking from a human perspective.

Even if all memories are recovered, one's mindset and personality will never return to their original state.

I wonder how much of Saori Kido and how much of Athena she is at this moment.

"Since you're planning to abandon the Sanctuary, what about the Galaxy Arena?"

Saori Kido naturally understood what he meant. He seemed to be talking about the Galaxy Arena Tournament, but he was actually talking about the Interdimensional Fighting Tournament.

"This will be the last one, and I intend to seal away the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, which was originally the prize."

"As for the Star Festival that Brother Apollo mentioned before, I plan to invite the Saints to attend in my private capacity."

"As for the Galaxy Arena, it was my grandfather's favorite fighting competition, and I intend to continue it and gradually transform it into a competitive sport."

It turned out to be the case.

Even disregarding Athena's identity, she is still the eldest daughter of the Kido Group, the sole heir of the family, with a distinguished family background and a carefree life.

Without the pressure of protecting the world, they naturally didn't want to leave their bustling hometown for a desolate and lonely place like the Holy Land.

"Okay, let's do it this way. The Star Martial Festival is just a way to relax, not a place where you have to compete."

Having Seiya and the others participate was initially just a whim, not something necessary.

It would be best if they wanted to go, as it would give them a greater sense of participation; it wouldn't matter if they didn't go.

"Isn't Brother Apollo sending any Celestial Warriors to fight?"

"I haven't gone to Earth to recruit anyone for a long time. All the Celestial Warriors are over the age limit, and there are only one or two teenagers who became Celestial Warriors by chance. The number of them is seriously insufficient."

"In that case, after the Sanctuary is disbanded, should Brother Apollo take them over?"

Is this a test, or is it genuine?

Apollo looked at her curiously, then shook his head slightly:

"I previously extended the lifespan of some of the Celestial Warriors under my command, so we don't need any more people for the time being. Rather, I'm currently preparing for my retirement."

"I see. It seems I'll have to think of another way."

Saori Kido, perhaps sensing Apollo's confusion, smiled and explained:

"The management style of the Sanctuary is too strict. Many young boys and girls have to leave their hometowns to go to the Sanctuary for training before they have even enjoyed the joys of childhood. They may even face life-threatening danger if they are not careful."

"But when they retire from the sanctuary, they have long since become out of touch with society."

"With insufficient knowledge and little formal education, it is difficult for them to find suitable jobs in modern society based solely on their combat skills."

"Once the ownership of the land is completely determined, the Holy War will disappear, and the Holy Domain will naturally have no reason to continue existing."

“Those boys and girls who dream of becoming Saints to protect the world will definitely find it hard to accept this situation.”

"So I want to do my part to help them get back to normal life."

Apollo was taken aback when she suddenly brought up such a practical topic, then burst into laughter.

It seems that before she became cunning, she was a kind-hearted girl.

"Let's talk about the Sanctuary later. I should go invite people to the meeting."

Although we can send Celestial Warriors to invite people, tomorrow morning's meeting is not the start, but merely an announcement.

In other words, tonight's invitation phase requires securing the cooperation of every participating deity.

The two gods who are both the most difficult and the easiest to deal with are Hades and Poseidon.

The difficulty lies in their high seniority and prestige, while the ease lies in the fact that both of them are currently in bad situations. If you can't reason with them verbally, you can easily handle them physically.

In short, let's try diplomacy first, then resort to force.

......

The next morning, after the sun rose.

In the celestial realm, many gods were welcomed back after a long absence.

The chief god, the secondary gods, and one by one the gods flew from the sky to Mount Olympus.

"Uncle Poseidon, what are you doing...?"

Artemis was about to greet Poseidon and sound him out when she suddenly noticed that he was bruised and battered, completely lacking his former elegance. She was stunned and filled with astonishment.

Could it be Apollo who could turn a god like Poseidon into this state?

But even Apollo couldn't have left such an indelible mark on him, could he?

"Humph!"

Poseidon gave her a very cold glance, then silently found a seat and sat down.

"Uncle Hades, what happened to you too?"

Artemis looked in another direction and saw Hades with a similar bruise and swelling, seemingly still recovering from treatment.

"You don't know?" Hades retorted, sitting down opposite Poseidon, crossing his arms, and coldly watching the gods approaching from afar.

When he saw that two-thirds of the gods were bruised and battered, and some even had missing limbs, his mood improved somewhat.

That bastard Zeus really did father a fine wolf cub.

Last night, I first restored myself to full health, then donned the divine armor, and then beat myself up without saying a word.

After that, I didn't say anything else, I just asked myself if I was convinced.

Not satisfied.

After restoring himself to his original state, repairing his divine robes, and healing all his injuries, he did it all over again.

Still unconvinced.

Come again.

After repeating this more than ten times, Hades, covered in sores and once again on the verge of death, could only grit his teeth and say, "I give up."

Unexpectedly, not only himself, but even that bastard Poseidon received the same treatment.

No wonder Zeus hasn't appeared for so long; it seems he was murdered long ago.

Hmph! Serves them right.

However, that wolf cub was also wicked; it refused to treat him the last time.

No one knows what methods he used, but while the other injuries on his body were easy to treat, the remaining wounds on his face just wouldn't go away.

It seems that natural healing is the only option.

"Poseidon, how many times?"

"Hmph! Is there anything more meaningful than this? Isn't it embarrassing enough?" Poseidon said with disgust.

"It's not just the two of us who are embarrassed; aren't we all the same? Did they trip and fall while walking?"

Hades scoffed, then noticed Saori Kido walking towards them from a distance, and frowned slightly.

The microcosm is very weak, almost negligible. Does this mean it hasn't awakened yet?

But if she really didn't awaken, how did she get through it all?

Mortals cannot come to the Heavenly Realm.

“Athena, I have now regained all my power. If you are still in this state, this Holy War will be a contest between me and Poseidon.”

Saori Kido looked surprised, paused for a moment, and then realized what was happening.

"Uncle Hades, don't you know the topic of today's meeting? If so, you'd better watch your words later, lest you say the wrong thing and have the same experience as last night, becoming a laughing stock in front of everyone."

Hades' face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice:

"You've regained your memories?"

"Uncle Hades, why don't you take a guess?"

"Hmph...! I'd like to see what that bastard is up to."

The moment the sun fully rose, Apollo appeared out of thin air in the main seat.

“The Father God sent me a message some time ago, saying that he has decided to retire and has gone to travel the universe, and that I should succeed him as the God King.”

"This is the first topic of today's meeting. I wonder if anyone has any objections? If anyone does, I will send him to see God the Father so that he may always hear God the Father's teachings."

At that moment, no one spoke; everyone remained silent.

There are some things that can be done but not said. Apollo's audacity in acting so recklessly, even bringing Hades and Poseidon to their deaths, is enough to prove that Zeus had already perished.

However, without evidence, even if you speak out, you will only be accused of defamation.
