Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Is this the crisis the High Elder witch spoke of, one that is far beyond my ability to resolve?" Regulus couldn't help but recall the High Elder's warning.

He had some doubts about this before, but now, seeing the situation, he had to admit that it was indeed a crisis he couldn't handle.

"We must inform His Holiness the Pope about the situation here as soon as possible!"

"That unknown force that directly wiped out a neutral power like the Temple of Delphi must not be a benevolent entity!"

"The Holy Land must prepare defenses in advance!"

Realizing this, Regulus didn't waste any more time in the pit and immediately disappeared from the spot.

After resting for a while on the road, Regulus finally returned to the Sanctuary on the morning of the fourth day after Sasha was sealed away.

Upon his return to the Sanctuary, the Pope immediately summoned all the Gold Saints.

"Senior Regulus, have you found that lady?" Pegasus asked impatiently.

"Found it! Found it!" Regulus nodded repeatedly.

"So...did that lady agree to help?" Tianma asked again.

This was the core issue, and all the Saints present cast expectant glances at them.

"That lady has agreed to help!" Regulus announced with a smile.

"Great! Great! Lord Sasha is saved!"

The Saints were overjoyed.

With the help of this goddess of harvest, they finally had hope of rescuing her.

"quiet!"

Giving everyone silence, Pope Sage solemnly inquired, "Since the lady has agreed to help, has she said when and how she will act?"

"said!"

Regulus nodded again and said seriously, "Lady, we're to launch a frontal attack to draw Thanatos's attention."

"She hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to break the God-Slaying Jar directly, giving Thanatos no chance to react!"

"That's fine too!" The Pope hesitated for a moment, but still nodded reluctantly.

His plan was naturally to ask the lady to lead them in a frontal attack, and then find another opportunity to break the God-Slaying Pot.

Because Thanatos, the god of death, is exceptionally powerful, and the Saints alone cannot withstand him. They need a sufficiently powerful being to stop Thanatos.

However, if they followed the woman's plan and drew Death's attention head-on, their risks would increase significantly, but the woman's chances of rescuing Athena would also be greater.

After all, if that woman attacked head-on, Death would be extra vigilant; but if she attacked from behind, Death would have a hard time defending against it.

Seeing the risks involved as well, El Cid immediately said, "With our strength, it's extremely difficult to restrain Death!"

"In fact, some people might even die at his hands!"

“Even so, we cannot back down!” Pope Sage gave him a deep look.

"I know!"

El Cid nodded and said seriously, "I am the strongest here. If we want to hold off Death, I must take action!"

"However, the Underworld also has a terrifyingly powerful being, Rhadamanthus!"

"Without my restraint, Rhadamanthys will be unstoppable!"

"Leave Rhadamanthus to me!"

Wu Xin stepped forward and solemnly said, "My strength is still a bit short of the Eighth Sense, but with the Silver Body to assist me, I should be able to hold off Tian Mengxing."

"At worst, I can save my life from him!"

"If it were someone else, it probably wouldn't be so easy!"

With his silver body, his survivability is definitely the strongest in the Holy Domain.

"No, leave Tianmengxing to me!"

Leo Regulus also stepped forward. He glanced at Wuxin and said, "You possess the ultimate move 'Soul Burial Break' to counter your opponent."

"Even when facing death, as long as your strength is not exhausted, you can completely withstand death's attack."

"If you cooperate with Senior El Cid, you should be able to buy that lady enough time and opportunity!"

The biggest challenge in restraining Thanatos is not that their attacks are too weak, but that Thanatos's attacks are too strong.

Their ultimate goal is to restrain Death. It doesn't matter if their attacks are insufficient, but Death's attacks are too powerful, and they can kill someone if they are not careful.

If the restraining side can't even withstand a single move, then their restraint is completely ineffective.

Therefore, the Giant's Constellation, which can counter the opponent's moves, can greatly slow down the Grim Reaper's offensive and play an important role in restraining the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Pope Sage immediately said, "I'll take on the task of assisting El Cid!"

"I also possess the combat technique 'Soul Burial Break'!"

"As the Pope, he should lead by example in times like these!"

"Your Holiness the Pope?" Everyone was startled.

As the commander-in-chief, the Pope rarely takes to the battlefield, so during battles, people often subconsciously overlook this old man.

Upon hearing his mention, Wu Xin and the others suddenly remembered that this elder also possessed the combat technique 'Soul Burial Break', which could withstand attacks from the Grim Reaper.

"No, this won't do!"

Yapafica immediately objected, adding, "His Holiness the Pope is the commander of the Holy Land!"

"Now that Lord Sasha is sealed by the Grim Reaper, if something happens to His Holiness the Pope, the entire Sanctuary will be finished!"

Looking at the anxious Pisces, Pope Sage shook his head and said, "Yapafica, if we cannot rescue Lord Sasha this time, then the entire Holy Land, and even this Holy War, will be finished!"

"The power of the Saints alone is simply not enough to fight against the Grim Reaper, and the even more powerful Hades!"

"We have no way out, no choice!"

We must fight with all our might!

Upon hearing this, all the Saints fell silent.

As the Pope said, if Sasha cannot be rescued this time, the Sanctuary will be completely finished.

Wu Xin thought for a moment and slowly said, "The God of Death, Thanatos, is too dangerous!"

"Let me help Senior El Cid to hold them off!"

"With my silver body and the holy water of the moon, it won't be easy for Death to kill me!"

Chapter 343 Re-entering the Underworld

"No need to say more! My mind is made up. I will cooperate with El Cid to hold off Death!" Pope Sage interrupted their conversation, making his final decision in an unquestionable tone.

Seeing this, Wu Xin and the other two didn't say anything more.

Sage then suggested, "If the Underworld doesn't send any new reinforcements, we should have the numerical advantage."

"Based on this, I think it's necessary for us to select three more people and use 'Athena's Exclamation' to further increase the pressure on Death!"

Upon hearing this, Pisces Yaphica immediately declared, "My individual combat strength isn't particularly strong, but count me in for the combined battle formation!"

"Count me in too!" Taurus Hasgard chimed in.

"Then let me take the last spot!" Pegasus stepped forward.

"Just forget about it!"

Shion pressed down on Pegasus's shoulder and shook his head, saying, "You have only recently awakened your Seventh Sense and need some time to master your power. It is not suitable for you to use such a dangerous combat technique."

"More importantly, you've never learned this before, and there's no time to practice now!"

"I'll take this last spot!"

Subsequently, the Saints made some detailed adjustments to the plan before finally finalizing the operation to rescue Sasha.

After discussing the battle plan, Regulus looked at Sage and said, "Your Holiness, during my search for that lady, I also discovered some traces that may belong to the enemy!"

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Saiqi immediately gestured.

Without hesitation, Regulus began to recount everything he had seen and heard at the Temple of Delphi.

"They actually wiped out a temple?"

The Saints were astonished upon hearing this.

That's a temple, not an ordinary building. It's protected by divine power and won't be easily destroyed.

The force that could wipe a temple off the face of the earth is extraordinary.

Pope Sage said solemnly, "With the power of mortals, we may be able to destroy a temple, but we absolutely cannot erase it directly."

"Without a doubt, the being that erased the Temple of Delphi must be a god!"

"No wonder that witch elder didn't want you to stay and help!"

As he spoke, he gave Leo a deep look.

"The witches of the Temple of Delphi have always had a good relationship with the Sanctuary, especially since they are followers of the sun god Apollo. I think it is very necessary for us to find the murderers who destroyed the Temple of Delphi and seek justice for them!" Regulus said indignantly.

"It is absolutely necessary!"

Pope Sage nodded and said seriously, "However, the Sanctuary's top priority right now is to rescue Lord Sasha!"

"If we cannot save Lord Sasha, the history of the Sanctuary may come to an end here!"

"As for the mysteries of the Temple of Delphi, let's wait until we rescue Lord Sasha!"

Seeing that the Pope had set the tone, the Saints did not raise any further objections.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

After more than a day of rest, on the fifth day after Sasha was sealed away, the Saints, led by the Pope, prepared to begin their operation.

Since the battle will take place in the Rift of the Underworld, and the main enemy to be faced is Thanatos, the god of death, the lower-ranking Saints are of little help. This time, the Pope only brought Goshin and a group of Gold Saints.

With Wuxin and Saiqi working together, a massive dimensional portal opened up in front of the group.

However, what awaited them was a violent attack from a small universe.
