Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Yes!"

The Specter responded and then continued, "Lord Thanatos has decided to sink the entire Sanctuary into the underworld, making it disappear from the mortal realm completely!"

“That’s impossible! The Holy Land is protected by the gods! Even the God of Death couldn’t destroy it!” Cardia immediately expressed his doubt.

As the guardians of humanity, the Sanctuary has received the blessings and protection of more than one deity.

The underworld might be able to destroy most of the buildings on the surface of the Sanctuary, but it could never completely destroy the entire Sanctuary.

The Specter swallowed again, cautiously saying, "Lord Thanatos also said that it is indeed impossible to directly destroy the Sanctuary, which is protected by the gods."

"Therefore, he plans to take a different approach, separating the Holy Land from the earth and sinking it, along with the surrounding areas, into the Yellow Springs!"

"what!!!"

Upon hearing this, Cardia and Degel couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Previously, when Lord Sasha and the Pope sent them to investigate, they had said that it was unusual for Death to remain silent for so long, and that he might be plotting something in secret.

Now, it has finally been confirmed.

Death has not only begun to act, but has also laid out a massive and terrifying scheme!

"Tell me! What exactly does Thanatos, the god of death, plan to do!" Cardia hurriedly asked, and Degel also cast an anxious glance at him.

They were eager to know exactly how Death had planned this.

Only then can they find a solution.

Seeing the two's anxious expressions, the Specters who were initially afraid of Cardia suddenly became more assertive, and a sense of disdain arose in their hearts.

It turns out that these Gold Saints, like them, were just ordinary mortals.

However, he didn't dare to say what was on his mind.

After all, when one is in a stronger position, one should be careful what one says.

He recalled for a moment and slowly said, "Lord Thanatos plans to set up three magic arrays outside the barrier of the Sanctuary, with the Sanctuary as the center."

"Based on the three magic arrays, construct a giant triangular magic array to cover the Holy Land and the entire surrounding area, separate the earth, then open the Yellow Springs, and finally sink the Holy Land into the Yellow Springs Hirasaka."

"I see!"

Cardia's expression turned serious as he asked again, "Besides Aiacos of Tianxiong Star, are there any other Specters whose strength has reached the Seventh Sense?"

Yes, yes!

The Specters nodded repeatedly and hurriedly replied, "Besides Lord Aiacos, there are also Lord Violet of the Lone Star, Lord Pharaoh of the Beast Star, Lord Myo of the Demon Star, and Lord Ivan of the Defeat Star, a total of five Specters whose strength has reached the Seventh Sense!"

Upon hearing this, Cardia was secretly alarmed.

There are five Specters who have reached the Seventh Sense. Even in the current Sanctuary, there are not many more fighters of the same level than them.

In addition, there is the terrifyingly powerful Death God Thanatos, making them fully qualified to severely damage the Sanctuary.

"So, where exactly are those three magic arrays located?" Containing his surprise, Cardia asked again.

The Specter looked somewhat embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "I haven't seen the locations of the other two magic arrays, nor do I know their exact locations, but one of the magic arrays is hidden beneath the area we are guarding."

"We just need to go deep underground along the entrance we are guarding, and we will find the magic circle."

"The reason it was placed underground was to prevent the Holy Land from discovering it in advance."

They thought they had hidden it so well, but the Saint Seiya still managed to find it.

"very good!"

Cardia nodded and said seriously, "Now you can take a good rest!"

After saying that, he casually delivered a chop to the other man's neck, knocking him unconscious.

Seeing this, Degel tacitly released the ice seal from the other Specter.

They wouldn't easily believe what the other party said, so they needed to interrogate the second Specter again.

Using the same formula and the same tactics, after being hit by two poison needles in succession, the second Specter could not withstand the excruciating pain and chose to cooperate with the interrogation.

Caludia then asked the same question he had asked earlier, and the second person answered it.

As a result, the second Specter's answer was almost exactly the same as the first.

“It seems they weren’t lying!” Cardia immediately concluded.

“In that case, let’s set off as soon as possible! Hopefully, we can go deeper underground and investigate their so-called magic array before they discover the guard is missing!” Degel said, adjusting his glasses.

"Row!"

Cardia did not object, and then directly snapped the necks of the two Specters.

Although they no longer consider Specters of this strength a threat, they are still one of the 108 Specters. Eliminating one of them would reduce the number of enemies on the battlefield.

In particular, they also need to conceal their whereabouts and not let other Specters notice them, so killing to silence witnesses is an inevitable choice.

Even though the other party had just cooperated by providing information, he felt no burden whatsoever.

After cleaning up the corpses, Cardia and his companion returned to the cave entrance.

After carefully checking again to make sure there were no new Specters to take over the guard, they cautiously sneaked in.

Fortunately, the Specters only dug this one tunnel to the area where the magic array was set up, so they didn't have to worry about getting lost. They just needed to follow the tunnel dug by the Specters.

As the two ventured deeper into the area, they encountered the Specters guarding the way once again.

Left with no other choice, they had to eliminate it and continue their investigation.

Chapter 235 Deep Underground

After taking down three rounds of guards and venturing nearly a hundred meters underground, Degel and his companion arrived at a vast underground cavern.

The cave is enormous, covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

There were quite a few ghost messengers inside, busy at work, as if they were setting something up.

Degel and his companion hid inside the passage, not venturing in rashly, but rather concealed themselves in the shadows, quietly observing everything before them.

“That must be the magic circle they were talking about!” Cardia glanced towards the center of the cave.

The entire magic array is nearing completion, and numerous ghost messengers are carrying out finishing touches and inspections.

"It must be destroyed immediately! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Looking at the huge magic circle, Degel's expression became much more serious.

Cardia glanced outside again and said seriously, "So far, I have only discovered one Specter whose strength has reached the Seventh Sense."

"As long as it's not someone like Tianbaoxing, with the strength of the two of us, we should have a chance to kill him and then calmly destroy the magic array in front of us."

"No, that's too much trouble!"

Degel shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "After all, the opponent's strength has reached the seventh sense, so he won't be so easy to kill."

"With the help of many demon stars below, we are likely to get bogged down in a quagmire of war."

"If they then summon other Specters to reinforce them, we'll be in danger!"

"So... what do you mean?" Cardia asked, casting a questioning glance.

“I’ll go stop that guy with the seventh sense, you go and destroy the magic circle!” Degel said seriously.

My friend is physically disabled, so it's naturally more suitable for him to handle the toughest challenges.

Guessing what Degel was thinking, Cardia felt somewhat helpless, but he also knew his own shortcomings and that he was indeed not suited to compete with Degel for anything, so he could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll deal with those small fry and magic circles! You go and deal with that annoying guy!"

Degel instructed again, "Don't rush to attack. Let me distract them first, then you can launch a surprise attack. Ignore the small fry and go straight to destroy the magic array!"

"In that case, your operation should go much more smoothly!"

“Okay, let’s do it your way!” Cardia nodded.

In the center of the cave, seeing that no one had come to report from the other end of the tunnel for a long time, the guardian deity Pharaoh suddenly felt something was amiss.

Under normal circumstances, the guards in the passage will provide updates periodically, and even a simple "everything is normal" can put his mind at ease for the time being.

But the sudden loss of contact made him quite uneasy.

"Someone come here!" he shouted.

"What are your orders, sir?" Disuxing immediately caught up and responded.

"There's been no news from the entrance for a long time. Send someone over to check it out immediately!" Farao gave the order.

"Yes!"

Earth Speed ​​Star responded and immediately prepared to turn and leave.

But at that moment, accompanied by a powerful aura of the microcosm, a golden light shot out from the passage and rushed straight toward the center of the magic array.

Stop him—

Farao shouted and immediately sped up to meet him.

boom!

Farah's Olympic cosmic power collided head-on with that golden light.

Unfortunately, time was too short and he was unprepared. He was directly hit by the golden light and sent flying back.

However, although he couldn't completely block the golden light, he did manage to neutralize nearly 80% of its power.

The other Specters reacted a beat slower, but thanks to Tian Shouxing's block, the speed of the golden light was slowed down, giving them a chance to make their move.

The demon stars launched a coordinated attack, unleashing a barrage of fist strikes that gradually dissipated the golden light's momentum, knocking it to the ground.

Only then did the Specters realize that it was actually a Saint wearing a golden battle suit.

"You are... Aquarius Degel?" The God of Longevity, Farao, who had regained his footing, looked closely and immediately recognized the person in front of him.

“It is indeed me! And who are you?” Degel asked curiously.

His opponent was not weak, and judging from their initial exchange, he was not confident of victory.

"Farao of the Celestial Beast Star!" Farao announced his name and picked up the harp hanging from his waist.

"A musician?"

Upon seeing the opponent's harp, Degel immediately deduced the opponent's approximate identity and guessed that the opponent must be skilled in using sonic attacks, similar to the Lyra constellation before the Sanctuary.

However, the Celestial Beast Star before us is far superior to the Lyra constellation.
