Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

The sea goddess Thetis heard from the Fates that Achilles would one day die in battle.

To avoid such a fate, the sea goddess Thetis tempered Achilles' body by burning him with heavenly fire and soaking him in the River Styx, and finally treated him with divine medicine, giving Achilles an indestructible body that was impervious to swords and spears and water and fire.

With his near-invincible physique, Achilles was unstoppable on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, when the sea goddess was tempering Achilles' body, she was somewhat negligent and forgot to hold onto his ankle. This meant that his ankle was not tempered, becoming the only flaw in Achilles' body.

Ultimately, Achilles was killed on the battlefield by an arrow because of this weakness.

Comparing his experience to that of Achilles, Wuxin felt that his own experience was remarkably similar, and through this legend, he understood the origin of his improved physical abilities.

Unfortunately, he did not possess heavenly fire or divine medicine, and therefore did not acquire the invincible physique of Achilles.

As for the only Styx water he obtained, it probably couldn't compare to the portion that the sea goddess in mythology refined for Achilles.

After all, she was a goddess. The essence she used to temper her son's body must have been from the deepest part of the River Styx, far superior to the River Styx water he had refined.

His only advantage over Achilles was that his physical tempering this time was more balanced, leaving no fatal flaws like Achilles'.

"However, on the other hand, although I can't compare to Achilles' invincible physique, I'm still far superior to everyone else!"

"With this advantage, my survival ability on the battlefield will definitely be stronger than others, which is a good thing!" Wu Xin was secretly delighted.

On the other hand, after formulating a new action plan, Sanctuary dispatched many Silver and Bronze Saints.

After spending a great deal of time and effort searching, following Sasha's directions, they finally found the secret realm where the Golden Fleece was buried—the Forest of the God of War—between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

Upon receiving the news from the front lines, Sasha and the Pope immediately summoned a group of Gold Saints.

"The secret realm of the War God Forest has been found. Next, we only need to put the Demon Dragon to sleep again so that we can launch a counterattack on the Dream Realm and defeat the Four Dream Gods!" Sasha announced to everyone.

"Great! I want to sign up for the battle against the Four Dream Gods, Lord Sasha!" Regulus the little lion couldn't wait to express his desire to join the attack.

“I’ve been cooped up in the Sanctuary for quite a while now, so it’s a good time to get out and stretch my muscles!” Cancer Manigold expressed the same sentiment.

The other gold mines also expressed their desire to participate in the campaign.

"Please be quiet!"

Pope Sage stepped forward and stopped the crowd, saying, "The Four Gods of Dreams are seriously injured and should not have recovered in such a short time, so sending four Gold Saints will be enough!"

"As for the others, they will remain in the Sanctuary to guard against a possible attack from the Underworld and protect Lord Sasha!"

After glancing at the eager crowd, Taurus Hasgard said somewhat helplessly, "Then I'll stay! I'll give you the chance to attack!"

“I’ll stay too!” Aquarius Degel added.

"Huh? Such a rare opportunity, don't you want to go and meet the gods?" Scorpio Cardia looked at her friend in surprise.

“They’re just four injured gods, nothing interesting!” Degel replied indifferently.

"Fine, if you don't want to go, I won't go either!" Scorpio Cardia helplessly spread his hands.

His heart was congenitally abnormal, preventing him from fighting for long periods. Only Degel's freezing air could slightly alleviate the pain, so he often acted with Degel.

Degel was unwilling to fight, so naturally he couldn't go.

Seeing this, Pope Sage thought for a moment and then arranged: "Considering everyone's wishes and the actual situation in the Sanctuary, this campaign against the Four Dream Gods will be carried out by the four Gold Saints: Cancer Manigoldo, Leo Regulus, Capricorn El Cid, and Pisces Yaphica."

Pisces Yapafica is actually better suited to stay in the Sanctuary, because his poison can work in conjunction with the poisonous rose of the Pisces Palace to achieve a stronger effect.

Originally, Aries Shion would have been a good choice, but the death of Dohko has caused this Gold Saint a lot of setbacks, so he is not suitable to be put on the field for the time being.

As for the remaining Sagittarius, there were other arrangements, and Sage had no choice but to arrange for Yapafica to fill the fourth position.

"Great! I finally have a chance to strike!" The little lion was overjoyed upon hearing the arrangements.

The other Gold Saints who were called out also showed joy, and then knelt down in front of the Goddess's throne to express their gratitude.

"Just in case, Sagittarius Sisyphus will provide remote support from the Sanctuary at any time!" Pope Sage added.

On her throne, Sasa stood up and earnestly reminded the assembled Gold Saints: "Only a god can kill a god!"

"With your strength, you might be able to defeat the Four Dream Gods, but you simply cannot kill them completely!"

"I will use Sisyphus's golden arrow to deliver a fatal blow to the Four Dream Gods at the crucial moment!"

"Therefore, please remember that there is no need to fight to the death with the Four Dream Gods. As long as I create the right opportunity, I can use Sisyphus's golden arrow to end the battle in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, Lord Sasha!"

The four Gold Saints, their faces serious, agreed in unison.

"Then, I will wait for everyone's safe return in the Sanctuary!" Sasha solemnly instructed the four Gold Saints.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely return victorious!" the little lion Regulus replied excitedly.

“No, I would much rather you all come back safe and sound! Victory is secondary!” Sasha shook her head earnestly.

Having already witnessed the sacrifices of Dohko and Asmita, she didn't want to hear similar news again.

Sensing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Manigoldo chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry, with Lord Sasha's prayers, we'll definitely return safely!"

After saying this, he and the three gold-plated figures turned and left.

Chapter 108 War God Forest

Half an hour later, Manigoldo and his men finally arrived at the Black Sea with their expeditionary force.

The Silver Saint of Hercules immediately led his subordinates to meet them.

"Greetings, esteemed lords!"

All the Silver and Bronze Saints bowed in unison.

"What's the situation inside the secret realm?" Leo Regulus asked impatiently.

"Not very good!"

Hercules shook his head and said seriously, "Hydrus and Lupus once infiltrated the secret realm to investigate the details, but they were both discovered by the sleepless dragon and died tragically."

"After that, we never dared to go in and investigate again!"

Please forgive our cowardice and timidity!

"It's ok!"

Regulus patted Hercules on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "You made the right choice!"

"When faced with an enemy that is known to be invincible, cautiously waiting and avoiding unnecessary sacrifices is also a correct choice!"

"What about the dragon's strength? How much do you know about it?" Manigold asked, looking at a large lake not far away, with an air of nonchalance.

"At least you've reached the Seventh Sense, and you're likely an outstanding individual even within that realm!" Hercules replied with a serious expression.

"Oh, that's quite an exciting opponent!" Manigold's face showed a hint of eagerness.

"Hey! Don't do anything reckless! Lord Sasha said that the dragon is a subordinate of the God of War, we can't touch it!" Capricorn El Cid couldn't help but remind him.

“Yes, yes, I know!” Manigold waved his hand impatiently.

El Cid was known throughout the Sanctuary for his stubborn temper, and he really didn't dare to joke or banter with him, because El Cid would take it seriously.

“Then, lead the way for us!” Regulus said with a smile, gesturing to Hercules.

They knew the entrance to the secret realm was here, but the exact location was still unclear.

"Yes!"

Hercules nodded, then led his group of gold-clad warriors into the nearby lake.

"So it was hidden in the lake? It's not easy to find!" Manigold thought to himself as he descended with them, taking in the scenery at the bottom of the lake.

When we arrived, Lord Sasha said that secret realms like the Forest of the God of War are very special.

It is not the kind of special area that is isolated due to its unique terrain and difficult to find.

Instead, they were separated by spatial forces by gods or other special reasons, ultimately forming a different dimension that is attached to the main world.

This extradimensional space is highly independent and hidden, making it very difficult for people to find.

But it is precisely because of this that some special relics or creatures from ancient times have been preserved to this day.

Before long, the group arrived at the bottom of the lake.

Although the sunlight couldn't reach this area, everyone released their own inner cosmic radiance, allowing them to see everything around them clearly.

Hercules arrived in front of a giant seashell. After opening the seashell, he earnestly transmitted his thoughts to the crowd: "This seashell is the entrance to the secret realm."

"As long as you go inside, you can directly cross dimensional space and enter the War God Forest."

“Then let me clear the way for everyone!” Leo Regulus volunteered and stepped forward.

Hercules and the other Silver and Bronze Saints changed their expressions slightly upon seeing this, but still didn't say anything more.

In terms of age, Leo Regulus is arguably the youngest among them, at only fifteen years old.

Although Regulus was young, his strength far surpassed that of the older Bronze and Silver rank members.

If even a Gold Saint isn't qualified to clear the way, then they are even less qualified.

Regulus then reached one hand into the inside of the shell.

The moment he touched the inside of the shell, he felt as if he had touched an invisible membrane.

"A barrier?"

His eyes lit up, and with just a little force, he pierced through the hand.

Clearly, the barrier in front of us does not have any blocking function; it only serves as a simple water barrier.

Then, with a light step, he rushed into Baker and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The other Gold Saints followed closely behind, leading the group of Saints inside.

Soon, all the Saints arrived at the secret realm.

Before me lay a dense forest, filled with tall, sturdy ancient trees, averaging over ten meters in height, their canopies blocking out the sun and making it almost impossible to see the sky.

Because the trees here are quite tall, with correspondingly tall canopies, it's difficult to see any branches or leaves on the ground that would obstruct the view. All you can see are bare tree trunks, which greatly facilitates the movement of people.

Rumble!

A loud explosion echoed from deep within the forest.

"Regulus has already engaged the sleepless dragon! Go check it out!" Manigold, seemingly fearless, immediately headed towards the source of the explosion.
