Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Looking at the entire Sanctuary, only he, who joined halfway through and had no reverence for Athena, and Odysseus, a Saint with a blasphemous history, were likely to accept such a mission and carry it out seriously.

"Of course, you won't be doing this for nothing by carrying out such a difficult task!"

Seeing that the two were still hesitant, Sasha continued to raise her bet, saying, "I used my own body to refine two drops of divine blood essence!"

As she spoke, she glanced to her right.

Wu Xin and the other looked over and saw that on the throne, two red dots were flashing inside Sasha's body, which had been dormant, and releasing a wave that Wu Xin found very familiar.

Sasha continued to explain, "That's the essence of divine blood, completely incomparable to the drop of divine blood you obtained before, Giant!"

"With this essence, you can further transform your physical bodies, and perhaps even resume your path to godhood!"

Upon hearing this, Odysseus couldn't help but swallow hard.

As a top-tier physician and a legendary hero who had explored the path to godhood, he certainly knew what divine blood essence meant.

That was a bargaining chip he couldn't refuse.

Wu Xin, who also pursued the ultimate in extraordinary power, could not refuse such a reward.

Seeing that the two were interested, Sasha continued, "When the time comes, as long as you can kill me, those two drops of essence will be your reward for this mission!"

Chapter 455 The Heart of a Mortal

"But Hades is definitely not an enemy that is so easy to defeat!"

"Isn't it a bit too early for Lord Sasha to be talking to me about this now?" Odysseus asked seriously.

Although he longed for the essence of divine blood, he had not lost his mind because of it.

If they cannot defeat Hades, all of Sasha's promises will be meaningless.

"It has nothing to do with the time!"

Sasha shook her head and said seriously, "It's just that this is the most appropriate time to hand over the task to you!"

"Ok?"

Wu Xin and the other person were somewhat puzzled.

Sasha continued to explain, “You should know that she and I were originally one, but I am only a part of her, representing her mortal consciousness.”

“Under normal circumstances, no matter what I do or think, it’s impossible to hide it from her.”

"Of course, we wouldn't issue such a task to you!"

"Once she finds out what I'm thinking."

"I can't possibly tell you this information!"

"It might even trigger her awakening prematurely and cause her to kill you all!"

At this point, the girl paused, then gave Wu Xin and the other girl a very serious look.

It was this one glance that sent a chill down Wu Xin's spine.

If Athena, the goddess of war, were to suddenly awaken and attack them, given the opponent's strength and control over their Saint Cloths, neither of them would have a chance of survival.

Sasha continued, "However, during this time of serious injury, we were in hibernation to recover, and my contact with her was reduced to the minimum."

"Only under these circumstances can I be confident that I can keep it from her and give you this task."

"And just in case, I will erase this part of my memory afterward, so as to completely cut off the possibility of her finding out."

"Furthermore, from now on, you must not discuss this matter in private, to prevent her from finding out in advance."

"Yes, Lord Sasha!"

Wu Xin and the other person solemnly responded.

Sasha continued, "Actually, giving you this task is also a precautionary measure."

"In this final battle against Hades, I am prepared to perish together with him."

"In this way, neither Hades nor she can achieve final victory."

"You don't need to worry about how to carry out the final task."

"Of course, this is the ideal situation."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But if I happen to win, then you'll have to be prepared for the worst!"

"Even if I win the battle against Hades, I will be severely injured. That will be the best time for you to strike. Don't miss the opportunity."

"understand!"

Wu Xin and the other person nodded again.

"So, are you willing to take on this mission of rebelling against and killing gods to save the world? Even if you are misunderstood and hated by countless Saints in the future?" Sasha asked again.

Wu Xin and the other person exchanged a glance, and then knelt down on one knee in front of the girl.

"We are willing!"

"very good!"

Sasha nodded, then extended her right hand and touched each of their foreheads.

Wu Xin suddenly felt as if something strange had been injected into him.

Sasha explained earnestly, "To ensure you can complete the mission in the end, I am now granting you the authority to use the divine artifact."

"Among them, the goddess of victory was given to Crater, and the shield of Athena was given to Ophiuchus."

"With my divine power and mark, you can fully unleash the power of the artifacts, just like when I take action myself."

"However, the mark I bestow upon you can only be used once, so use it with utmost care."

"Remember this, remember this!"

"Yes, Lord Sasha!"

The two nodded again.

"Alright, I've said enough! Go and prepare for the final battle!" Sasha gave them one last instruction before sending their consciousness projections back.

After completely erasing the relevant memories, she disconnected the telepathic communication network and allowed her consciousness to return to her body to continue recuperating.

However, despite returning to his physical body, Wuxin was unable to calm his mind and continue meditating.

That night, he learned too many terrifying things.

He walked out of the Cancer Palace and onto the outdoor platform, facing the cold mountain winds, trying to calm himself down again.

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to calm himself down, he could not forget everything Sasha had told him.

Instead, they couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of tragic end the world would face if Hades and the goddess of war succeeded.

"Fortunately, we still have Lord Sasha!"

"Otherwise, there really won't be any hope at all!"

Wu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Strictly speaking, Sasha's main personality is more in line with the goddess in everyone's imagination than the goddess of war.

She embodies all the qualities a benevolent deity should possess.

"Or perhaps, this was Athena's deliberate act?" Wu Xin pondered a deeper question.

From the age of mythology, in the memories of the Sanctuary and many Saints, the goddess Athena has been the embodiment of justice and represents absolute good.

If one reincarnation is like this, but every reincarnation is like this, then it seems very strange.

After all, Athena was a deity with selfish desires, and not as noble as people think.

Based on this, her human incarnation shouldn't be so perfect either, as this doesn't conform to the laws of nature.

Nothing in the world is born perfect.

"Could it be that she deliberately created a perfect human form?" Wu Xin immediately guessed.

One advantage of doing this is that it solidifies people's perception of Athena.

As the cycle of reincarnation continues, people will gradually come to believe that Athena is a goddess who represents justice and is the embodiment of kindness.

Based on this identity, Athena can better gather human power to wage a holy war against Hades and other gods who represent evil, and incidentally use the holy war to promote blood sacrifice, thus perfectly concealing her own intentions.

Thinking of this, Wu Xin couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"As expected of a goddess known for her wisdom!"

"This method of reaping is far more sophisticated than that of Hades and Poseidon!"

"Those who are unaware of this should thank her for saving the world!"

On the other side, the bright moon shines high in the sky, but many people still can't sleep.

Amidst a vast expanse of yellow sand, a woman wrapped in a tattered cloak gazed at the castle in the distant sky and murmured, "The final battle is about to begin!"

"What will you choose this time?"

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the Holy Land, her eyes filled with an unusually complex expression.

After a long while, she finally looked away and turned to look ahead.

It was a golden sea of ​​flames, left behind after the Saints' decisive battle against the Goddess of Strife.

After sensing the temperature of the flames ahead, she cautiously stepped inside.

Chapter 456 The Lion Returns

The night passed quickly.

The people of the Holy Land were astonished to discover that, centered on Hades City, lifelike paintings appeared in the sky.

The painting above depicts a heavenly scene, with countless angels flying around, rivers of milk and honey flowing on the ground, and gold and silver artifacts scattered everywhere, piled up into small mountains.

Wu Xin understood that Hades Aaron had begun to make his move.

That being wished to encompass all beings through this painting, titled 'Paradise Lost'.

However, others are unaware of this.
