Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"So, you are the goddess of war and wisdom?"

"You look so beautiful!"

"May I touch your beautiful hair?"

……

They chattered away, showing no fear or dread of the gods whatsoever, or perhaps it was simply their naturally cheerful nature.

Sasha also liked these little elves very much, and immediately reached out to gently stroke them, saying with a smile, "You are all very beautiful! I would love to be your friend!"

"Long live Athena! Long live Athena! The goddess Athena is willing to be our friend!"

The little flower fairies were very excited and landed on Sasha. Some looked at her skirt, while others sniffed her hair and immediately started playing around.

Seeing this, Orpheus coughed twice and said in a serious tone, "Gentlemen, the master is still waiting in the garden! Don't keep him waiting too long!"

Although these little flower fairies are merely servants and pets, they are, after all, the creations of their master and have a close relationship with him, so he cannot be too harsh on them.

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

The little flower fairies responded and stopped playing with Sasha.

“Please follow me, my lord, the master is just ahead!” Orpheus said respectfully to Sasha.

“Then please lead the way, Mr. Orps!” Sasha nodded.

Then, led by Orpheus, the group headed deeper into the garden.

On the way, as if remembering something, Sasha asked curiously, "So much time has passed, Mr. Orps still hasn't given up?"

Orpheus was once a great hero who entered the underworld to save his lover's life, but ultimately failed.

However, Orpheus did not give up. In order to obtain a second grace, he deliberately stayed in the underworld and served the lady.

Chapter 81 Meeting of the Two Gods

“For Eurydice, I would gladly wait another ten thousand years!” Orpheus replied earnestly.

Sasha shook his head and sighed, "The resurrection of the dead is going against the will of Heaven."

"Giving you one chance is already an extraordinary exception; there won't be a second one. Give up!"

Even gods rarely interfere with this cycle of life and death.

After all, those are the fundamental laws governing the natural world.

Reversing the cycle of life and death comes at a tremendous price.

This price is not visible on the surface, but the will of the world will make people pay for it in the dark, which even the gods are very wary of.

Take Orpheus's case, for example. Perhaps his countless years of lonely waiting were the price he paid for reversing life and death.

He just hasn't realized this problem yet.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir, but I will not give up! Eurydice is still waiting for me!" Orpheus shook his head, his expression still firm.

"Ugh--"

Sasha sighed and didn't try to persuade her any further.

Before long, led by Orpheus and a group of little flower fairies, Sasha arrived deep in the garden and saw the temple standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, and the elegant lady in black veil sitting in the courtyard outside the temple.

"Master, we have brought back the goddess of war and wisdom!" Many little flower fairies flew over chattering excitedly, reporting their 'achievements'.

For them, serving the Creator is the greatest honor.

This is also the meaning of their existence.

"Alright, alright, I understand! You all hurry up and prepare pastries to entertain our distinguished guests!" The woman in black waved her hand dismissively.

"Yes, Master!"

The many little flower fairies responded in unison, and then happily flapped their wings and left.

After dealing with the group of mischievous children, the woman in black turned around and gestured to Sasha, "Sit down! Don't be so formal!"

"Yes, sister!"

Sasha nodded and sat down gracefully next to the woman in the black veil.

Upon seeing this, Orpheus quickly stepped forward, poured Sasha a cup of hot tea, and then quietly withdrew, sitting far away to the side. He gently plucked the strings of his harp, playing melodious music that created a tranquil atmosphere in the garden.

"Did you know I would come all along, sister?" Sasha asked the woman curiously.

Since she arrived, she had not seen any surprise or astonishment on the other person's face.

"Of course!"

The woman in black veil smiled slightly and said, "I have forcibly detained the Giant Throne in the Underworld. If you hadn't come, it wouldn't be like you!"

"Then, could you please let him go for my sake?" Sasha asked with a smile.

"no!"

The woman in black veiled denied it without hesitation, adding, "He is a very special person, and I see an opportunity in him!"

"Everything else is negotiable, except for this matter!"

"But he's just a Silver Saint with a sixth sense, isn't he overestimating himself by having you do this, sister?" Sasha glanced at the lady's calves without leaving a trace.

She could clearly see that on those fair calves, tender vines were wrapped around them, and countless tiny tendrils were embedded in the flesh.

The woman in black veil didn't seem to care and said calmly, "Sometimes, you don't need great strength to accomplish something; all you need is a little bit of luck and opportunity!"

"As a god, you must understand this!"

As she spoke, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a graceful sip.

"It seems my sister isn't going to let them go!"

Seeing this, Sasha sighed helplessly.

At this moment, a group of little flower fairies flew up carrying fruit platters and pastries.

They are too small for a single one to lift the plate; it takes several of them working together to lift it.

After carefully placing the pastries and fruit platter on the ground, they bowed and left.

“It’s a rare treat to come here, so please try this flower cake. I ordered my little flower fairies to collect the freshest and most fragrant petals of the morning, and then added nectar to make it. You can’t taste these delicacies in the Holy Land!” The woman in black veil pointed to the pastries on the table and said.

Sasha then took a piece, tasted it, and nodded, saying, "It leaves a lingering fragrance in my mouth; it's really good!"

With just one bite, her mouth was filled with a fragrant floral scent, as if she had fallen into a flower garden and been overwhelmed by a sea of ​​flowers.

These are not pastries that could be made in the human world.

After tasting another piece of dried fruit, Sasha finally spoke up: "Since you are unwilling to release him, sister, could you please promise me that you will spare the life of the Great Duke?"

"He still has a lot of room for growth and can play an important role in this holy war."

"This... I'm afraid that won't work!"

The woman in black veil shook her head gently and said helplessly, "You should understand that there are some things that even the gods cannot do."

"I can only assure you that if he dies in this mission, his soul will not have to go to the Frozen Hell. He can be reincarnated and given a good family!"

Saints who die cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation; instead, they can only enter the icy hell and perish in the bitter cold.

This is their punishment for rebelling against the gods.

Even though they were under Athena's command, it is an indisputable fact that they were fighting against the gods in the Holy War.

Those who commit blasphemy should be punished in the icy hell.

These are the rules of the underworld.

"This is far from enough to make up for the loss of the Holy Land, sister!" Sasha stared at the woman in black veil with wide, pitiful eyes.

Seemingly sensing the girl's resentment, the woman in black thought for a moment and said helplessly, "How about this, I can promise you that I will help the Holy Land once at the right time."

"However, the prerequisite is that we cannot directly attack Hades!"

"Thank you so much, sister!" Sasha nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

With this older sister's guarantee, the situation might be turned around at a crucial moment, which would be a great thing for the Holy Land.

However, the thought that Cryptocephalus was still trapped in the Underworld weighed heavily on her heart, and her joy vanished completely.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Sasha lost interest in staying any longer and immediately stood up, saying, "I have important things to do, so I won't bother you any longer, sister!"

"Go, go!" The woman in black waved her hand, not trying to stop her.

Then, surrounded by Orpheus and a group of little flower fairies, Sasha left the Rain Garden.

However, she did not rush to leave Hell. Instead, relying on her connection with the Saint Cloth, she arrived at the Third Depression of the Seventh Hell and found the Seat of the Giant, which was hidden in a mountain valley.

"Lord Sasha, what brings you here?" Upon seeing the reincarnation of this goddess in person, Wuxin was greatly surprised and quickly bowed.

Sasha shook her head and said seriously, "You have given your all for the Holy Land and for humanity, risking your lives. Naturally, I cannot fall behind and be afraid of death."

“But if Hades discovers that you have infiltrated the Underworld, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Wu Xin said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Hades hasn't fully awakened yet. I'm absolutely confident I can keep it from him!" Sasha said with complete confidence.

Chapter 82 A Girl's Blessing

"But……"

Before Wuxin could speak again, Sasha immediately interrupted, "My soul cannot leave my body for too long. Let's get to the point!"

“I have already been to the Rain Garden in the Second Prison and negotiated with the one there.”

"I'm sorry, she refused my request to release you!"

Upon hearing this, Wuxin felt no surprise, neither joy nor sorrow.

Seeing his calm expression, Sasha said with some surprise, "It seems you also anticipated this outcome?"

"Yes!"

Wu Xin nodded and sighed, "Given that person's status, if she deliberately kept me here, then the matter she asked me to do must be extremely important, and she would definitely not let go easily."

"Especially knowing that I am a Saint Seiya, the fact that she still chose me means that she was prepared to face your questions from the very beginning."
