Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

After exchanging a glance, Odysseus tentatively asked, "Lord Sasha, are you really alright with your injury?"

Although he had already checked once, hearing the girl say such inexplicable things made him suspect that he might have overlooked something, and Sasha's mind was starting to go haywire.

Sasha, seeing through Ophiuchus's thoughts at a glance, said somewhat helplessly, "My injury is fine, it hasn't affected my mind!"

"I am very clear-headed now, and I know what I am saying!"

"Therefore, you need not doubt!"

"But... why would you issue such a task?" Wuxin was very puzzled.

“To save the world!” Sasha replied earnestly.

"what?"

Wu Xin and the other person became increasingly confused.

"Aren't we saving the world? As long as we defeat Hades, everything will be back on track!" Odysseus was still very puzzled.

"No! Defeating Hades is only part of it!"

Sasha shook her head and said seriously, "You must defeat Hades and then kill me as well to truly save this world!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin and the other person couldn't help but shudder.

"But why is that, Lord Sasha?" Wuxin hurriedly asked, feeling increasingly confused.

Odysseus remained silent, but his gaze was equally intense as he looked at the girl, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

Seeing the two of them so determined to get to the bottom of things, Sasha hesitated, a look of unspoken words on her face.

For a moment, the entire online community fell silent.

After a long while, Sasha finally let out a long sigh.

"Fine!"

"If I don't tell you the reason, I think you'll find it hard to accept this task!"

She turned around, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said softly, "Do you know that this world is about to be destroyed!"

"Is it because of Hades?" Odysseus asked tentatively.

"No!"

Sasha shook her head slightly and said with melancholy, "What you think of as destruction is just the human world being occupied by Hades."

"But the actual situation is far more serious than you imagine."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin and the other person exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Sasha looked up at the sky and continued, "A long, long time ago, a terrible war of gods broke out in this world, and the whole world was almost reduced to ruins as a result."

"The world was thus brought to the brink of destruction."

"As a result, the remaining gods split into two factions."

"One faction chose to flee this place and find a new planet to rebuild their home."

"The other faction chose to stay, preparing to use their own strength to repair and save the world."

Upon hearing this, Wuxin couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Our world still exists today. Does this mean that the group of gods who chose to save the world succeeded?"

"No!"

Sasha shook his head and sighed, "The god who chose to save the world neither succeeded nor failed."

"Because saving a world on the verge of destruction is far more difficult than people imagine."

"Everyone has put in endless effort, but they have only barely managed to pull the world back from the brink of destruction."

"But it will take a long time to repair the world."

"And this period of time is exceptionally long, so long that even near-immortal gods would become impatient."

"Thus, during this long wait, many more gods chose to give up and flee this hopeless world!"

Chapter 454 The Truth About the Holy War

"I see!"

Wu Xin immediately understood many things.

He had always felt that the gods of this world were very low-key, or rather, excessively quiet.

Although they also fought against the Gemini and the goddess of discord, they were still insignificant compared to the star-studded Olympus.

The war between the Underworld and the Holy Land, in particular, is related to the survival of the human world.

It's really hard to believe that no other deities have intervened since things have come to this point.

Originally, Wuxin always thought that this was a deliberate indulgence by the gods.

Now it seems that it wasn't about indulgence at all, but rather that the gods who were supposed to be in charge were no longer there.

Most of the gods who were still alive had already left, leaving only a handful to hold on. Naturally, no one could stop Hades, one of the top gods of Olympus.

Sasha continued to explain, "Besides those gods who ran away halfway, some other gods had other ideas during the long wait."

"If they can retrieve the resources previously used to repair the world and return them to themselves, they may be able to take another step forward and reach a new level."

Upon hearing this, Odysseus's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of excitement.

Wu Xin asked with some doubt, "Can resources that have already been used to repair the world really be returned to their original state?"

"No, you've misunderstood, Great Lord!"

Sasha turned around and said slowly, "Not all resources have been absorbed by the world. Some of them have not been directly integrated into the world, but have been integrated in a supporting way to help the world recover."

"And their goal is to reclaim the resources that were not absorbed!"

"As for what exactly it is, I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that if they succeed, the world's restoration process will be completely interrupted, and there will be absolutely no hope of recovery."

"But what does this have to do with our holy war?" Wuxin was still somewhat puzzled.

"Of course they're related!"

Sasha turned around, turned her back to the two of them, and sighed deeply, saying helplessly, "Because the so-called Holy War is just a large-scale blood sacrifice, a ritual held by the gods to reclaim the resources needed to repair the world!"

"what!!!"

At this moment, both Wu Xin and Odysseus, who was present, were greatly surprised.

After a long while, the two finally calmed down and accepted the terrible truth.

But soon, Wuxin thought of another, even more terrifying problem.

"May I ask, Lord Sasha, what is your, or rather, Athena's, stance?" he hurriedly asked.

If the essence of the holy war is a blood sacrifice, then the stance of the two gods who created this holy war becomes highly questionable.

Hades, needless to say, is a god who makes no secret of his ambition to destroy the world, and he is bound to fight for himself.

What about Athena, the goddess of war?

Wu Xin had not forgotten that on the battlefield in the Sahara, the goddess of discord had bluntly accused Athena of hypocrisy.

Faced with this pointed question, Odysseus couldn't help but glance at Wuxin again.

He never expected that Wuxin would dare to doubt a goddess to her face.

However, he was also very curious about it, so he did not stop it, nor did he stand up to criticize it.

But if it were any other Saint Seiya here, hearing Wuxin question them like that, they would probably immediately turn hostile.

Silence, and silence remains the response to enlightenment.

For a moment, neither he nor Odysseus dared to breathe, and could only stand quietly in place, motionless.

I don't know how much time had passed, but I felt my patience was almost exhausted when the girl standing in front finally spoke.

"Seriously, as a part of her, I should respect her choice!"

"But I love this land and I love everyone, and my heart does not support me following her choice!"

"Therefore, I want to protect this world and protect everyone!"

As she spoke, Sasha slowly turned around, her eyes full of sincerity.

However, upon hearing these words, Wuxin also realized something else.

The true goddess of war made the opposite choice to Sasha; like Hades, she wanted to sacrifice the world to fulfill herself.

This is an extremely chilling and ironic answer.

The goddess, hailed as the embodiment of justice and regarded as a role model of faith by the Saints, is actually a deity who only cares about her own selfish desires!

"That's why I want to ask you two to kill me after the Holy War ends!" Sasha looked at the two of them very seriously.

"But why does it have to be the two of us?" Wu Xin asked with a wry smile.

“Because you two… aren’t devout enough!” Sasha flicked her sideburns, a teasing smile appearing on her face.

"this--"

Wu Xin and the other person were speechless, unsure how to respond.

Sasha continued, “I can sense that you are not devout in your faith toward me, or rather, toward her.”

"If you were to attack me, you wouldn't feel too much psychological burden."

"But if it were any other Saint Seiya, it would be a different story!"

"They will absolutely not accept this mission!"

Even if they barely manage to take it, they definitely won't have the courage to attack me!

"But there's also As—"

Wu Xin wanted to say Aspros's name, but then he suddenly remembered that Aspros had now merged with Defteros.

In this situation, Aspros's actions are naturally restricted by Defteros.

Given Defteros's style of doing things, he would definitely not accept this task.

Therefore, Aspros, who possessed both the same body and dual soul, had no chance to make a move.
