Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

Manigold didn't explain much, and his tone became much more hurried.

At that moment, Wuxin was certain that something must have happened.

For someone as carefree as Manigoldo to become so anxious, something significant must have happened.

Without delay, Wu Xin immediately got up and headed towards the sacred mountain.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the foot of the Holy Mountain, outside the gate of the Aries Palace, like a silver streak of light.

At that moment, a familiar golden figure appeared in his sight.

That was Aries Shion, sitting dejectedly on the steps, as if he had suffered some major blow.

Based on their previous investigation in Italy, Wu Xin was certain that they had encountered Aaron, who had just awakened as Hades.

"It seems that something must have happened to Tianma!" He immediately thought of the story he knew before.

In that encounter, Pegasus was severely injured by Aaron, and his soul was even sent to the underworld, leaving him in a near-death state. He only managed to survive thanks to Sasha's blessing.

Perhaps knowing that the Pope had summoned him, Shion did not stop him, nor did he ask a single question. He acted as if he had not seen him at all, and brazenly allowed him to enter the Aries Palace.

The same thing happened at the next few temples; none of the Gold Saints guarding them stopped him, and they let Goshin pass through without any obstruction.

However, when passing by the Libra Temple, Wuxin saw a tattered Libra Cloth lying quietly deep inside the temple, as if it had lost its life and was no longer as dazzling as it once was.

"The Libra Cloth is so badly damaged! It seems that Dohko's injury is quite serious this time!" Goshin suddenly realized.

I didn't see Dohko in the temple; he must have gone to heal his wounds.

No wonder Shion looked so grim when he passed by the Aries Palace.

Not only did they fail to defend Tenma, but Dohko was also seriously injured. They've been dealt a heavy blow this time.

Before long, Wuxin passed through the Twelve Palaces of Gold and arrived at the Pope's Hall, which was located further up.

Sasha sat upright in the main seat, while Pope Sage stood quietly beside him.

"Greetings, Lord Sasha! Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Wu Xin immediately knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.

"Please rise, Your Majesty!" Sasha raised her hand in a gesture of greeting, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Yes!"

Wu Xin slowly stood up, sensing a hint of sadness in the girl's voice.

"Lord Sasha, is there some important task you need to assign me in such a hurry to see me?" he asked tentatively.

“Yes! There is indeed a very important task that needs to be entrusted to you, Great Lord!” Sasha’s eyes were slightly red as she turned to look at the Pope beside her.

Sage understood immediately and stepped forward, saying, "Previously, we sent two Gold Saints to Italy to investigate."

"But an accident happened there."

"They discovered the reincarnation of Hades, and he has just awakened!"

"Hades??" Wu Xin was greatly surprised.

Although he had already guessed this outcome, it was best to pretend he didn't know.

"Yes, it's Hades!"

Pope Sage nodded and continued, "The reincarnation of Hades is none other than Pegasus and Lord Sasha's childhood playmate, whose name is 'Aaron'."

"On the day Pluto first awakened, he turned his entire town into a sea of ​​fire and killed everyone in the town."

"Tianma also met with misfortune in this battle, being struck so hard that he was on the verge of death, and his soul fell into the underworld!"

“This…this…” Wu Xin was completely stunned.

Sage continued, "I'm sure you know how important and special Pegasus is to the Sanctuary."

"In order to ensure the victory of the Holy War, we cannot do without him, so we must send someone to the underworld to bring back Pegasus's soul."

Hearing this, Wuxin slowly realized what was going on and asked in surprise, "Does Lord Sasha and His Holiness the Pope mean that I should enter the Underworld to rescue Pegasus?"

Summoning him at this particular time, and specifically recounting Pegasus's predicament, clearly wasn't to report on the battle situation.

"Yes!"

Pope Sage nodded and said seriously, "Originally, we planned to send Cancer Manigoldo to the Underworld."

"With his control over the power of death, it would be very convenient for him to move around in the underworld."

"But the Gold Saints are too conspicuous and easily detected by the enemy, so we are going to change the choice and have you go to the Underworld in place of Manigoldo."

"You also possess the power of death, which will make things much easier for you in the underworld!"

"So that's how it is!" Wu Xin's expression turned much more serious.

In the original story, the Sanctuary did not assign him to enter the Underworld to save Pegasus; instead, it assigned Grus Yuzuru and Unicorn Yato.

However, judging from the current situation, given that those with a seventh sense or higher should not act rashly, no one is indeed more suitable to go to the underworld than him.

For him, who also wields the power of death, going to the underworld is like going home.

The world's development diverged at this point in time.

The butterfly effect he caused has begun to amplify.

"So, are you willing to accept this arduous task?" Sai asked with a serious expression.

"Of course I'd like to!"

Wu Xin agreed without hesitation.

He knew perfectly well that the old man seemed to be asking for his opinion, but in reality, he had no choice at all.

After all, this was a task assigned by both the reincarnated goddess and the Pope.

To refuse is to betray.

Perhaps they won't do anything to me on the surface, but they will never trust me again, and may even take back everything they have given me.

Therefore, he cannot afford to hesitate even for a moment.

"Very good, very good!"

Sage nodded in satisfaction and said, "It seems that Lord Sasha was right! My brother's decision to accept you as his disciple was also the right one!"

Chapter 55 Dual Mission

"Besides rescuing Pegasus, we have another important task for you!" Pope Sage said very seriously.

"There's another task?"

Wu Xin was stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered what it was.

As if recalling the brutal wars of the past, Pope Sage said with a solemn expression, "The Specters come from the Underworld, and their power comes from the 108 Specters."

"These 108 demon stars are also connected to the fundamental laws of the underworld. As long as the underworld is not destroyed, the demon stars will not truly die and will possess the power to be resurrected."

"What terrifying power! It's so unfair for us to fight a guy like that!" Wu Xin exclaimed.

"That's definitely unfair!"

Sage nodded and continued, "In order to suppress their resurrection power, each generation of Athena has to expend a lot of power to maintain the barrier and suppress the corpses of the Specters."

"Now, we have finally found a way, a way to stop the resurrection of the Specters."

As he said this, a glint of light appeared in the old man's eyes.

"May I ask, sir, what is that method?" Wuxin asked, seizing the opportunity.

Although he already knew the truth, he still had to pretend to know nothing.

“A divine messenger has brought the Holy Land a method for forging ‘Demon-Suppressing Prayer Beads’!” Saiqi replied very seriously.

"A divine messenger? A demon-suppressing rosary?" Wu Xin was astonished.

He knew about the Demon-Suppressing Rosary; it must be the same rosary that Asmita later forged through a blood sacrifice, possessing the power to seal the resurrection of the Specters.

But he had absolutely no idea about that divine messenger.

The original story did not explain how the Sanctuary obtained the method to forge the Demon-Suppressing Rosary, nor how they learned that this thing could restrain the Specters; its appearance was quite abrupt.

Now, after hearing what the Pope said, he finally understood.

The method for forging the Demon-Suppressing Prayer Beads was not devised by the Holy Domain itself, but was given to them by someone else.

Moreover, it was a divine messenger, which clearly indicates that a deity is working behind the scenes for the Holy Domain.

Ignoring Wuxin's astonishment, Pope Sage continued, "After repeated analysis and testing, we have confirmed that the casting method of the Demon-Suppressing Rosary is completely correct."

"It can indeed suppress the resurrection power of the Specters."

"However, its main ingredient is extremely rare."

"This is why the Holy Domain has yet to successfully forge a rosary!"

"Excuse me, what kind of material is that?" Wuxin asked again.

Pope Sage said with a serious expression, "Only things from the underworld can subdue things from the underworld."

"The only way to suppress the resurrection power of the Specters is to draw from the Underworld."

"The main material of the Demon-Suppressing Prayer Beads is the fruit of the sacred tree, which grows on the edge of the Great Waterfall of Blood in Hell."

As the saying goes, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes.

"The underworld represents the ultimate death, while the divine tree born in the underworld represents life from the ultimate death."

"And it is precisely this one life that can, in turn, suppress the Specters who represent the rules of death in the underworld."

"So that's how it is!"

Wu Xin nodded, then said with a 'sudden realization', "So, my second mission this time is to go to the Blood Waterfall in the Underworld to collect the fruit of the Mulanzi Divine Tree?"

"Yes, and not entirely!"

The Pope sighed softly and said helplessly, "That sacred tree, the Luanzi, is extraordinary. Only the microcosm of Pegasus can catalyze its fruition."

"No matter how hard others try, they cannot make it bear fruit."
