Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

“I do need some time to rest. It’s more appropriate to leave the matters on the battlefield to Senior El Cid!” he said to the Pope with a 'serious' expression.

Pope Sage glanced at the two of them, then nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait until El Cid recovers from his injuries and then have him take over Carlodia's position!"

"Does anyone have anything to add?" he asked, looking at the crowd again.

"It's gone!"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then let's disperse! Giant Throne, stay here!" Sage waved to the crowd.

Despite having some doubts about the Pope's order, Wuxin patiently stayed.

He just didn't notice that Aries Shion gave him a very complicated look as he turned to leave.

After all the other Saints had left, only Sasha, Sage, and Goshin remained in front of Athena's Throne.

"Do you know why I specifically kept you here?" Sage asked softly.

"I don't know!" Wu Xin shook his head blankly.

"It seems Shion hasn't had a chance to tell you that news yet!"

Sage sighed deeply, then solemnly said, "My brother, your teacher Bai Li has sacrificed himself!"

Chapter 261 Sage's Invitation

"what??"

Upon hearing this news, Wu Xin froze on the spot.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally realized what had happened and forced a smile, saying, "Your Holiness, your joke has gone a bit too far!"

"I'm not joking with you!"

Saiqi shook his head and said seriously, "The Underworld has launched an operation to separate the entire Holy Domain from the earth and then sink it into the Yellow Springs."

"Therefore, my elder brother Bai Li shouldered the mission and went to the Yellow Springs to investigate the situation. He encountered Thanatos, the god of death, in the Yellow Springs Rift. In the end, he was no match for the god of death and died fighting bravely!"

"teacher--"

Upon hearing this explanation, Wu Xin's last remaining hope completely collapsed.

He didn't spend much time with Bai Li, but during his time in Jamil, Bai Li taught him everything he knew without holding anything back.

Even though the old man had doubted his motives for joining the Holy Land, he remained completely open with his opinions.

Without a doubt, Bai Li is a qualified teacher.

Wu Xin's eyes immediately reddened, and she asked, her voice choked with emotion, "So, His Holiness the Pope deliberately kept me here just to tell me this unfortunate news?"

"Of course, that's not all!"

Sage shook his head and said seriously, "This time, Death's initiative may be our chance to seal it away and completely eliminate the threat of the Twin Gods."

The old man paused for a moment, then continued, "You also experienced the battle in the Dream Realm and have witnessed the power of the God of Sleep, Hypnos."

"Thanatos, the god of death, is slightly less powerful than Hypnos, but he is still beyond our reach."

"The best way to deal with such a powerful enemy is to attack its soul directly."

"And in the current Holy Domain, besides me, only you are skilled at using the power of death to target the soul."

“Originally, my plan was to seal Death together with Manigoldo, but Manigoldo is no longer here, so I chose you.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin finally understood and nodded, saying, "So, His Holiness the Pope wants to include me in the plan to seal the God of Death."

"So, would you like to join us?" the Pope asked solemnly.

"Of course I'd like to!"

Wu Xin nodded emphatically and said resolutely, "For my teacher, for the Holy Domain, and for the Goddess, I have no choice but to do it!"

"Very good, very good!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Pope Sage nodded in satisfaction.

Suppressing the grief in his heart, Wu Xin forced himself to remain calm and said, "However, just as you said, Death's strength is slightly inferior to Hypnos's, but it is definitely not something we can confront head-on."

"I'm afraid the two of us alone are far from enough, aren't we?"

As he spoke, he glanced subtly at the girl on the throne.

The last time they sealed Hypnos, it was Sasha who stabbed Hypnos in the back at a crucial moment, which allowed them to successfully seal Hypnos.

This time, if we want to deal with the Grim Reaper, we'll probably still need the reincarnation of this goddess to step in.

Seeing this, Sasha on the throne nodded slightly and said seriously, "Indeed, Mr. Sage and your strength alone are far from enough to fight against Thanatos, the God of Death."

"Therefore, I will personally take action this time as well."

"With Lord Sasha personally taking charge, the success rate of this operation is very high! But what are the specific operational plans?" Wuxin continued to ask.

Sasha smiled slightly, then raised her hand and released a burst of cosmic power, setting up a soundproof barrier around the throne before explaining in detail the plan she and the Pope had devised to Wuxin.

Wu Xin listened with interest and tried to add some of his own ideas.

Sasha and his companion thought it was good and incorporated some suggestions to further improve the plan.

About an hour later, the three finished their discussion, and Wuxin bid farewell to the Pope and Sasha, then slowly walked down the mountain.

However, after ending the discussion on the plan to seal the Grim Reaper, his thoughts came to a halt, and the grief of Hakurei's death once again welled up in his heart.

"teacher--"

His eyes reddened, and his steps down the mountain became increasingly heavy.

Before long, he arrived at the Capricorn Palace.

Capricorn El Cid was already waiting for him to come down.

He saw him holding prayer beads, sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the Capricorn Palace with a solemn and dignified appearance. Wuxin was momentarily dazed, as if he were seeing Virgo Asmita.

"What, senior, you've also started studying Buddhism like Asmita?" he said with a smile as he walked up to her.

"without!"

Elshid shook his head and said seriously, "There is only one path in my heart."

That is my sword!

"My sword is everything!"

He looked down at the demon-suppressing prayer beads in his hand and continued, "However, during the time I was recuperating, I found that meditating like Asmita was quite beneficial to my injuries."

"Perhaps it was because of his influence, or perhaps because of my injury, my state of mind has become much more peaceful."

"Senior, is your sword rusted and dull?" Wu Xin asked with some concern.

He believes he understands Capricorns quite well.

They forge their will into sword intent, using the indestructible sword intent to drive sword energy to cut through everything, and thus are greatly affected by their state of mind.

The stronger the sword intent, the sharper the sword energy; conversely, the weaker the sword intent, the duller the sword energy.

In other words, Capricorns are born to be sharp and outspoken fighters.

Asmita's peaceful, Buddhist-like state of mind is suitable for calming people's hearts, but not for Capricorns, who are decisive and ruthless fighters.

Upon hearing this, El Cid glared at him and retorted indignantly, "Who do you think I am?"

"How could this mere string of prayer beads possibly distort my will?"

"To tell you the truth, this peaceful state of mind not only failed to corrupt my will, but actually made it even stronger, and my sword is sharper than before!"

Wu Xin's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed in delight, "So, if you recover from your injuries, Senior's strength will become even greater?"

At this juncture, if El Cid's strength could be further enhanced, it would be of great benefit to the entire battle.

"It should be a bit stronger than before, but I can't say exactly how much it will improve!"

Elshid stood up, shook his head slightly, and urged, "Let's go, I've waited too long for this day!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Wu Xin nodded and immediately went down the mountain with El Cid.

After stopping at the Cancer Palace for a while, the two of them descended the sacred mountain and arrived at Odysseus's medical clinic.

Sensing their arrival, Odysseus of Ophiuchus hurried out to greet them.

"Crazy Throne, you're finally back!"

His gaze fell on Wuxin, and as he looked him over, he said, "It seems you have successfully obtained the Star Sand."

"Hmm! Do you think this is enough?" Wuxin immediately took out the ice crystal bottle and handed it to Ophiuchus.

Chapter 262 Preparing Medicines

Upon receiving the ice crystal bottle made by Wuxin, Ophiuchus was immediately shivered by the extremely low temperature contained within it.

"hiss--"

He gasped for breath and quickly used his inner strength to resist the low temperature, which made him feel a little better.

Then, without even complaining, he quickly opened the cap of the ice crystal bottle, carefully poured out a grain of crystal-clear sand, examined it carefully in his palm for a while, and then nodded and said, "That's it, that's it! This is the Star Sand!"

"The goods are definitely fine, but I don't know if there's enough!"

Wu Xin sighed softly and said, "There used to be a lot of stardust in the Moon Temple, but most of it was destroyed in the war."

"What you see now is what I collected one stone at a time from the ground and from between the rocks after the war!"

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Odysseus waved his hand, his gaze completely drawn to the stardust in his hand, and he didn't look away for even a moment.

"Since there's enough medicine, let's quickly prepare the potion to treat Senior El Cid's injuries!" Wu Xin urged.

"No hurry, no rush!"

After putting the lid back on the ice crystal bottle, Odysseus turned around and said, "I remember telling you that in addition to star sand, we also need enough moonlight holy water."

"Do you have enough of your holy water from the moon?"
