Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Watching Casa's graceful figure as she left, Jia Long couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Think about what happened to Baian next.

In an instant, Jia Long lost all interest in soaking in the hot spring.

In the following days, Jia Long began to focus on the affairs of the two oceans, and even put on a show of preparing for war and mobilizing the sea creatures and people of the two oceans.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he placed a large number of strong fish-men into the ranks of sea warriors. He didn't even consider other sea creatures as long as their bloodlines matched the scale armor.

There was nothing that could be done about it; Jalong had only been in the North Atlantic for a short time, and the only people he could trust now were the fish-men under Queen Didis.

Therefore, he wished he could even make the fish-man's dogs into a sea warrior unit.

Unfortunately, the Scale Armor is similar to the Saint Armor. Although it does not depend on astrology, it does depend on whether the bloodline is compatible. In the end, he could not hand over both Scale Armors to the Fish-Men.

However, he also had his own methods. Considering that the former mermaid queen Illya had been actively reforming herself and her ideological awareness was gradually increasing, he gave some of the Sea Warrior slots to Illya for allocation.

After all, Ilya had been deeply rooted in the North Atlantic for many years, and she still had many relatives and friends in this ocean.

In short, Jia Long's blatant favoritism towards relatives and friends aroused considerable resentment among the sea tribes of the two oceans.

But this also made the entire merfolk race extremely loyal to him.

Moreover, it greatly increased the goodwill that Didys and her daughter had towards him. Didys was alright, after all, she was simple-minded and only wanted to be Jia Long's secretary, so she didn't care much about this kind of thing.

But her mother, Queen Ilya, was different. Ilya had risked everything to obtain a Sea Priest Scale Robe, but ended up losing her throne and being imprisoned.

Now, this new General of the Two Oceans waved his hand and gave her a batch of scale armor to distribute at will. This trust almost moved her to tears, but at the same time, it also made her secretly harbor thoughts of competing with Didis.

As a result, whenever Jalong went to the hot springs, Ilya became even more enthusiastic...

Thus, a few days later, Jia Long finally gained firm control of the two ocean warriors, while at this time, Sorrento and Casa returned to Coral Island one after the other.

The difference was that Surante was dejected.

Casa, on the other hand, appeared to have fulfilled his mission perfectly.

"Hailong, these past few days, I've completely captivated Little Pony. To prove his sincerity towards me, he's told me everything he knows."

"Your guess was right. The war between the two realms was indeed orchestrated by the Ice Domain, and the current Sea Emperor is not Princess Poseidon. If I were to reveal her true identity, please don't be shocked..."

"The true identity of the one inside the Temple of Poseidon is... Medusa!"

"Queen Medusa, the Mother of Pegasus?!"

Chapter 180 Legend! Queen Medusa, Mother of Pegasus

Medusa?!

Upon hearing Casa's words, Surant and Ditis on the side were both dumbfounded.

The Sea King who rules the ocean is actually the legendary Gorgon Medusa in disguise?

How can this be?

Although Medusa, the Gorgon, was born in the sea, wasn't she killed by the hero Perseus long ago?

How could a demon that has been dead for countless years suddenly be resurrected and used by the Ice Domain to infiltrate the Sea Realm, impersonate the Sea God Poseidon, and cause trouble?

"It really was her..."

Of the three, only Jia Long showed no surprise; Kasa's words merely confirmed his suspicions.

Previously, based on the actions of this imposter Sea Emperor and other information he possessed, Jia Long speculated that he harbored deep hatred for Poseidon, seemed to have a connection with the Sea Queen Amphitrite, and was unfriendly towards the Sanctuary. Furthermore, he could use the Sea Emperor's Scale Armor and had unwavering trust in the snake-people and Sea Prince of the Indian Ocean...

If we replace this Poseidon with Medusa, all of Jia Long's previous guesses would be correct.

Moreover, only Medusa possessed all of these characteristics simultaneously.

Although Medusa is known as the Gorgon with snakes hair, she is actually a deity worthy of being included in the "Book of Gods".

In ancient mythology, Medusa possessed half noble blood.

Her father was named Phorcys, the son of the three Titans of the Water Gods, and also the younger brother of Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea.

However, this Phorcus was a rough-and-tumble hero.

He only likes all kinds of snake-bodied monsters.

Therefore, he had three daughters with the queen of the Serpent Clan, one of the seven great sea clans at the time, who were the famous Gorgon sisters, the youngest of whom was Medusa.

Later, Medusa inherited the throne of the Snake People's Queen and became a prominent figure in the sea world at that time.

This also attracted the covetousness of Poseidon.

At that time, Poseidon had just become the god of the sea and he urgently needed the support of the seven sea creatures, so he wanted to gain the support of the snake people by obtaining Medusa.

So he began to pursue Medusa relentlessly, but Medusa had no interest in Poseidon; she loved a handsome human.

When the easygoing Amphitale learned of this, in order to protect Medusa from harm, she sent the young couple to the Acropolis in Athens and placed them under the protection of the Temple of Athena.

However, no one expected that Poseidon was a beast. He took advantage of Amphitrite's inattention to sneak into the Temple of Athena, cruelly murdered Medusa's lover, and even played games with Medusa in front of the statue of Athena.

Medusa became pregnant with Poseidon's child as a result.

Logically, Athena should have stepped in to uphold justice at this point.

In reality, the Olympian gods had just seized control of the oceans from the Titans. For the sake of the greater good and the honor of the Olympian gods, Athena had no choice but to grit her teeth and support her uncle Poseidon.

Therefore, all the blame fell on Medusa, and the gods all said that she had seduced Poseidon.

After that, Queen Medusa, consumed by hatred, turned to the dark side and became a true Gorgon, venting her rage on innocent humans.

Then came the well-known story of the hero slaying the demon.

Medusa fled to the icy lands at the ends of the earth.

With the support of the Olympian gods, Perseus pursued Medusa all the way to the icy lands, beheaded her, and presented her to the goddess Athena.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Athena sent Medusa's remnant soul to the stars, where it became the guardian spirit of the constellation Perseus.

But this was merely the remnant of Medusa's soul.

When she was killed, her main soul was sealed by Perseus beneath the eternal frozen earth of the Ice Realm.

Logically speaking, although Queen Medusa possesses the bloodline of the old sea god, the Titan of Water, her bloodline is not pure, and a part of her soul has been taken away, so she should have no chance of ever returning.

But no one knows what method the people of the Ice Realm used to revive Queen Medusa, who had been imprisoned in the frozen earth, which led to the current apocalyptic crisis in the sea realm.

Jia Long did not hide anything and told Didis, Surant and Casa what he knew.

To Jia Long's surprise, all three men showed expressions of sympathy after hearing the story of Queen Medusa.

"Queen Medusa is so pitiful."

"Yeah, no man is any good."

"If someone were to kill my pony right in front of me and then lust after me, I would go on a killing spree to vent my anger!"

Seeing the three men's expressions of deep empathy, Jia Long had to cough and remind them:

"Can't you three have some principles? No matter how pitiful Medusa is, she's still an enemy who wants to destroy our sea realm! If her plot succeeds, not only the sea realm, but the entire land will be devastated!"

"Of course we know she's the enemy, but enemies are pitiful too!"

Didis couldn't help but ask, "My benefactor, didn't you say that Queen Medusa was pregnant when she was killed? What happened to her child afterward?"

"According to the Book of the Gods, after Medusa died, her two unborn children were also targeted by the gods. Pegasus, one of the Pegasus, was taken in by the remorseful Athena and later became the guardian spirit of Pegasus. This is why Pegasus has always liked to challenge the gods..."

Her other child, Chrysaor, a giant said to have been born wielding a golden spear, was later forced by Poseidon to become the guardian of the sea prince's scale armor.

After Jia Long finished speaking, the three of them sighed again, and Su Lant even exclaimed in realization:

"Is this why only Kshura is trusted among us Sea Generals? So Queen Medusa doesn't care about Kshura, but rather his scale-clad guardian beast?"

"That's right, perhaps she also trusts the snake people. Alas, poor Kshura!"

Jia Long shook his head.

Kshura seems to be born with a sense of unfulfilled potential. He even thought he had met a wise ruler, but little did he know that in Queen Medusa's eyes, he was just a freebie.

He stopped paying attention to Kshura's affairs.

Jia Long turned his gaze to Kasa again and asked, "Did Baian tell you how the people of the Ice Domain revived Medusa?"

Casa shook his head and said:

"Bai An didn't know the specifics of the process either. He only knew that the people of the Ice Domain used the Ring of Nibelungen, which is a magical ring in the legends of the Asar race related to Ragnarok. It is said that anyone who wears it will go mad."

"The people of the Ice Realm used the Ring to stabilize Queen Medusa's soul and made her even more insane than before. Her purpose in coming to the Sea Realm is to take revenge on Poseidon, Athena, and everyone connected to her!"

"Bai'an's mission is to cooperate with Medusa in cleansing the land, and to assist the Ice Domain in taking over the entire Sea Realm after the defeat in the Sea Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Long and the other two all sharpened their gazes.

"Take over the entire sea realm? Ice Domain has quite the ambition!"

“Bai An told me that the Asa clan originally only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to obtain the Gemstone Route. Their plan to invade the entire sea realm was proposed by their eldest princess, Hilda, and the whole plan was also in charge of by Princess Hilda.”

Hilda?

Chapter 181 Physical Examination! New Changes to the Dark Star Cloth

Hilda.

This is a familiar name to Jia Long.

In the previous anime, this princess seemed to later become the queen of the Ice Realm and even led the warriors of the Asar clan to fight against the Holy Land. However, she lost to Athena and the five main characters and ultimately continued to rule the Ice Realm as an innocent victim.

At the time, Jia Long was puzzled.

Why did the Queen of Aesir become a victim of a conspiracy by the Sea Realm after she put on the legendary Ring of Power?

Does The Ring of the Nibelung have anything to do with the Sea Realm?

That ring was passed down from the ancient Aesir gods, guarded by the two-headed dragon Fafnir, and cursed by Odin and the Valkyries. It is said to have caused Ragnarok.

How could the Sea Realm possibly obtain such a treasure?

It now seems that Medusa must have come to the Sea Realm wearing the Ring, ultimately forcing Poseidon to awaken prematurely. In his anger, Poseidon then took the Ring and, more than ten years later, returned it to Hilda.

This is very possible.

If Medusa continues her actions, it's highly likely she'll force Poseidon to awaken prematurely.
