Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Minos glanced at the Saints and said 'understandingly', "Originally, our target was not you."

“We have been ordered to come to the sanctuary of Athens to sabotage your rear.”

"To lay the groundwork for future wars."

"However, not long ago, I received a new order from Lady Pandora."

"They want us to halt our operations, lie in ambush outside the Sanctuary, and punish you lot who have offended Lord Hades!"

"Now, do you choose to commit suicide as an atonement, or do I have to do it myself?"

After saying that, a hint of undisguised contempt appeared on his face, as if he had already won the battle and could kill everyone at any moment.

“I’ll hold him off! You lead the group to break through! As long as we get through the barrier ahead and into the Sanctuary, we can immediately summon reinforcements from the Sanctuary!” Shion made the decision immediately and said earnestly to Dohko beside him.

"Okay, no problem!"

Tong Hu did not argue and immediately agreed.

He suffered serious injuries in his previous battle with Tianbao Star, and it would be difficult for him to stop Tiangui Star Minos now.

After all, he was one of the three giants of the Underworld, a man who stood at the pinnacle of all Specters.

"Let me see your skills!" Shion rushed forward and unleashed a powerful attack.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

A massive nebula was released from his hands, instantly enveloping the Tian Gui Star blocking his path, as well as many Hades warriors behind him.

Immediately afterwards, countless meteorites were launched from the nebula, transforming into streaks of starlight filled with destructive power, which then combined to form a large net that enveloped many of the Specters.

One of the Specters was accidentally struck by starlight, his Surplice instantly pierced, and he fell to the ground screaming in agony.

"Humph--"

Minos snorted coldly upon seeing this and immediately flapped the black wings on his back.

"Giant Winged Wind"

Immediately afterwards, a storm instantly formed centered on Minos and rapidly spread outwards.

The endless starlight bombarded it, yet it could not penetrate it; instead, it was worn away by the storm and vanished into nothingness.

"What!!"

Shion was somewhat surprised when he saw it.

He knew the three giants of the underworld were strong, but he never expected them to be this strong, easily overcoming his 'Stardust Spinning Technique'.

Fortunately, he made a wise decision to stay behind and cover the rear, allowing Tong Hu to lead the group to break through the encirclement.

If the roles were reversed, the injured Dohko probably wouldn't be able to hold off his opponent at all.

At this moment, led by Dohko, the group of Saints broke through the blockade of the other Specters and continued to approach the Sanctuary barrier behind them.

But at that moment, the nebula that Shion used to trap the Heavenly Noble Star finally reached its limit.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the nebula was burst apart from within by an expanding storm, and all the starlight vanished from everyone's sight.

"Do you think they can escape like this?" Minos didn't rush to chase and intercept them, but instead glanced meaningfully behind him.

"What do you mean?" Shion suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You don't think we just lay in ambush here and did nothing but wait, do you?" Minos smirked.

"Oh no! Watch out, there's a trap!" Realizing what was happening, Shion shouted a warning to Dohko and the others.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"To die under my 'Star Puppet Strings' is an honor for you!" Minos raised his right hand and gently hooked it. Tong Hu and the others who were rushing forward at high speed not far away immediately stopped, as if they had been put in an invisible shackle.

"I feel like I can't move my body!" one of the Saints cried out in terror.

"Me too!" Others chimed in, saying they had experienced the same thing.

"Don't panic, everyone. Try using your cosmos power to see if you can break free from these restraints!" Tong Hu immediately reminded him, and then burned his cosmos to try.

"No need to waste your energy!"

Minos looked at the Saints from afar and sneered, "With your strength, you are not enough to break free from my 'Star Puppet Strings'!"

It is an invisible thread with super strong toughness. It is precisely by relying on this special thread that he can easily bind the target's body, control its movements, and then easily strangle it.

The reason he allowed Tong Hu and the others to break through so easily was because he had set up a large net behind them with 'Star Puppet Strings' beforehand, making it easy to capture them all in one fell swoop.

If they were to directly intercept them, it wouldn't be easy to stop so many people at once. If a few escaped and went back to report, their ambush and killing plan would fail.

After all, this place is just outside the Holy Domain, so it's easy for the Holy Domain to send reinforcements once they receive the message.

Chapter 170 Star Puppet

"You can all die!"

Having captured all the Saints in one fell swoop, Minos showed no mercy and immediately stretched out his hands, hooking the invisible threads with his ten fingers.

"stop it now!"

Seeing this, Shion became extremely anxious and quickly unleashed a series of punches in an attempt to stop Minos's actions.

Unfortunately, Minos didn't care at all. He simply used his wings to block Shion's punch, and then quickly moved his ten fingers to tighten all the puppet strings binding the Saints.

Boom boom boom!

Accompanied by a series of faint, soft sounds, everyone suddenly tensed up, and then their entire bodies began to contract uncontrollably.

They even discovered that their prized Saint Cloths were like tofu, with cuts appearing on them, and the cuts were getting deeper.

Only then did everyone realize that they were trapped by an invisible thread.

They struggled with all their might, using fire to burn them and brute force to withstand the attacks.

But none of it worked. They could only clearly feel the fine threads on their bodies tightening more and more until they completely pierced through their holy clothes and dug into their flesh.

"Help—help me—"

Some of the Saint Seiya warriors cried out in terror, but they were powerless to stop the situation from worsening.

Before our eyes, the weakest Bronze Saints were strangled to death by invisible threads and torn to pieces.

"Do not--"

Tong Hu's eyes immediately reddened, and he struggled even more fiercely.

Unfortunately, he had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Tianbaoxing and was unable to break free from the invisible threads binding him. He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates died before his eyes.

After the Bronze Saints come the Silver Saints.

Faced with a powerful figure like Minos, they could only outlast the Bronze Saints for a short while before following in his footsteps, easily strangled by his puppet strings.

Seeing all his subordinates die before his eyes, Tong Hu's anger reached its peak.

"Lushan Dragon Soars"

He channeled all his cosmic power, transformed into a golden dragon, and soared into the sky, severing the puppet strings binding him. Then, roaring, he lunged at Minos.

"Oh? You've suffered such serious injuries, yet you still have the strength to break free of my puppet strings. You truly deserve to be called a Gold Saint!" Minos was somewhat surprised.

"Lord Minos, leave this heavily injured fellow to us!" Tian Tuixing bravely stepped forward, wanting to block the golden dragon that was rushing towards them.

The other Specters followed suit, not wanting the Heavenly Star to monopolize the credit for killing a Gold Saint.

As the divine dragon drew near, Tian Tui Xing laughed triumphantly, "Let me show you the Xuanwu Netherworld Robe of Lord Tian Tui Xing, which possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities!"

"The Unyielding Shield"

He ignited his inner power, clasped his arms tightly against his chest, and instantly a large cyan shield materialized, which, propelled by him, slammed fiercely into the golden dragon.

However, in the instant of contact, the azure shield was shattered by the divine dragon, and the Heavenly Retreat Star behind it had its Netherworld Robe torn apart and was sent flying, clearly without any chance of survival.

The many Specters behind them tensed up upon seeing this, regretting their recklessness. But it was too late to escape, so they could only grit their teeth and continue their attack on Shenron.

"Blade of Destruction"

"Fangs of the Greedy Wolf"

……

All the Specters unleashed their ultimate attacks and clashed head-on with the golden dragon.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the dragon crumbled, and the combined attack of the Specters vanished into nothingness. Both sides were blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

"what--"

All the Specters let out a scream, their Surplice armor torn to shreds, and they were immediately seriously injured.

Tong Hu's condition wasn't much better either.

With his strength, he wouldn't have been afraid of these low-ranking Specters at all.

However, he was seriously injured and his strength was not at its peak. He had barely managed to break free from the puppet strings and had little strength left, which is why he managed to fight the group of low-level Specters to a draw.

However, his already tattered Gold Cloth became even more damaged, and his injuries worsened considerably.

"Tong Hu, run! I'll hold them off!" Shion shouted, unleashing another wide-range attack.

"Stardust Rotation Technique"

This time, he gathered even more power, creating a much larger nebula that enveloped Minos and many of the Specters.

However, the significant expansion of his attack range also meant that his power was severely dispersed.

The starlight that could easily pierce through the low-ranking Specters was now only barely breaking through their Specter armor defenses after three or four shots.

Feeling that the threat from the starlight had greatly diminished, Minos couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Aries, you're way too confident!"

"You actually think you can stop me with an attack like that?"

"What an overestimation of their abilities!"

With a sudden flap of its wings, it shattered the two beams of starlight that shot down from it and dispersed the surrounding nebula.
