Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

However, after hearing the priestess's reply, his heart sank to the bottom again.

"That's Hades, the god of the underworld, who rules over all death!"

"How can you bear to watch the earth fall into his hands?" Regulus demanded loudly.

Although he wasn't from the Temple of Delphi, he had lived there with his mother for a while and knew that the witches there were kind people, not evil ones.

"Ugh--"

"Fate has already written the script; everything is already predetermined!"

"Go back, son of Alkos!" the voice from the dense forest replied helplessly.

"No! I absolutely won't!"

Regulus retorted loudly, "Our destiny should be created by ourselves, not arbitrarily set by others, not even the gods!"

However, this time there was no reply from the dense forest; the voice seemed to have vanished completely.

Having finally obtained clues about the witches, Regulus was now desperate when he saw that they refused to help him and were even ignoring him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive my rudeness!"

He took a deep breath and then focused his inner strength into his right fist.

"Plasma Light Speed ​​Fist"

With a single punch, endless golden lightning appeared, forming a massive golden electric net that completely covered the dense forest in front of him.

He wanted to find the hidden Temple of Delphi by violently dismantling it.

Although this was a reckless move, he couldn't care less about anything else in order to see the witches.

He absolutely cannot go home empty-handed.

Rumble!

Golden lightning raged through the forest, instantly leveling the dense woods ahead and crushing even the exposed stones on the ground.

Unfortunately, despite Regulus's violent destruction, he still failed to force the hidden Temple of Delphi to reveal itself.

"hateful!"

He angrily slammed his fist into the ground, instantly creating a huge crater more than ten meters in diameter beneath him.

At this moment, he was completely out of options.

"Am I just going to give up like this?" Regulus was very unwilling.

He was especially heartbroken when he saw the dense forest he had destroyed.

Influenced by his father Elias, Regulus was also a person who loved nature very much and would never easily destroy the forest.

Now, the forest has been destroyed by him, but the hidden Temple of Delphi has still not been found, which he finds very regrettable and heartbreaking.

It was at this moment that he involuntarily recalled his father's teachings.

"Regulus, calm your mind, feel the pulse of the earth, and listen to the voice of all things!"

"By becoming one with nature, you can find all the answers you seek in the natural world!"

With that thought in mind, Regulus suppressed his anxiety and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

He slowly ignited his inner universe to further calm his emotions, and, as his father had taught him, tried to integrate himself into nature.

It's unclear how much time passed, but his breathing became shallower and slower, and he seemed to have turned into a stone statue, with almost no fluctuations in his body.

The birds and beasts that had been scared away by his combat skills returned to their original positions. Some bolder birds even landed on his shoulders and head, looking at him, the golden humanoid stone statue, with curious eyes.

Suddenly, Regulus opened his tightly closed eyes and looked ahead with a faint smile.

"found it!"

He learned to integrate into nature like his father, to listen to nature, and then, through the power of nature, found a hidden spatial node ahead.

Meanwhile, inside the Temple of Delphi, beneath the statue of Apollo, an elderly witch wearing a laurel wreath let out a soft sigh.

"Ugh--"

"Elder? What's wrong with you?" a young witch asked, puzzled.

"The little lion has found us! We are about to face our fate!" The witch elder sighed deeply.

"The judgment of fate? What does that mean?" the young witch asked, puzzled.

The witch elder did not explain, but instead said, "Summon Alcetis, I have something important to tell her!"

"Yes!"

The young witch was puzzled, but she still turned and left.

Before long, a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old was brought in.

"You may leave now. I wish to speak with Alcitus alone!" the elder witch instructed the young witch once again.

The young witch nodded, then turned and left the hall.

Immediately afterwards, the witch elder burned her inner power and waved her hand, directly setting up a barrier that enveloped the entire hall.

Upon seeing this, the little girl's expression immediately turned serious.

The old man's caution must mean he has something very important to tell him.

Before she could speak, the witch elder said first, "Alcetis, I want you to leave this place, leave the temple, and not return for ten years!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl froze on the spot.

Coming to her senses, she said with red eyes, "Elder, are you trying to send me away?"

"But I have nowhere else to go but here?"

"Good boy!"

The witch elder gently stroked the girl's head and comforted her, "The Grand Elder doesn't want to drive you away, but only wants you to leave here temporarily to avoid a terrible disaster!"

"disaster?"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Alcibiades glanced outside tentatively and asked, "Is it because of that Leo Gold Saint from Sanctuary?"

"It's him, but it's not him!"

The witch elder shook her head with a wry smile and said, "That little lion is not a bad person; in fact, it has a very deep connection with our Temple of Delphi."

"But his arrival will bring us disaster!"

"That's why I absolutely refuse to see him!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl asked in astonishment, "Did the Grand Elder foresee something through prophecy?"

"Ok!"

The witch elder nodded helplessly.

"If that's the case, why didn't the Grand Elder arrange for everyone to evacuate in advance?" Alcitis asked again.

"Because this place is blessed by the sun god!"

The witch elder sighed and said, "If we leave here, we will be completely exposed to the eyes of certain beings, with nowhere to hide!"

"Only by hiding here can we have even the slightest chance of survival!"

"But that little lion has already found the entrance to the temple, and our whereabouts are about to be exposed!"

"Then...can we ask the Sanctuary for help to ward off the impending disaster?" Alcetis suggested again.

"it's useless!"

The witch elder shook her head and sighed, "They're too busy taking care of themselves to help us!"

"All we can do now is send you away and leave a spark for the Temple of Delphi!"

As she spoke, she took off the laurel wreath from her head and solemnly placed it on the little girl's head.

"From this moment on, you are the new witch elder, Alcitis!" the witch elder said with a smile to the little girl.

Hearing this, the little girl still wouldn't give up and continued to ask, "Can't everyone leave together? It's so unfair that I'm the only one who can leave!"

The witch elder shook her head again and said seriously, "You are still young, and you have only been in the temple for a short time, so you will not attract the attention of those beings. You have a sliver of hope to escape."

But we can't!

"We've already entered their sights; none of us can escape!"

"How could this be??" Alcibiades was utterly devastated upon hearing this.

The witch elder offered no further explanation, turned and went to the statue of Apollo, then gently pressed down on the ground. The stone slab on the ground immediately sank, revealing a deep, dark hole.

She then gestured to the little girl, "There's an underground river down here that will allow you to leave the temple silently!"

"Remember my words: you are not to return for at least ten years!"

"And whatever you do, don't reveal your identity to outsiders!"

"But……"

The little girl was still hesitant and couldn't bring herself to abandon her companions and escape alone.

Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, the witch elder grabbed him without saying a word and forcibly pushed him into the cave.

"No, Elder, I can't abandon everyone!" Alcitus clung to the edge of the cave, refusing to go down.

The witch elder sighed again and said earnestly, "Don't be willful, Alcestis!"

"Your mission is to survive and carry on the legacy of the Temple of Delphi!"

"The will of the Sun God must not be forgotten!"

After saying that, she forcefully pushed the little girl into the deep underground cave.

"Elder—"

Alcibiades plummeted down the hole in terror, only stopping when he plunged into the icy, frigid underground river.
