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

"Because he's stronger than you!"

……

Albio led the little warriors to the Strait of Snevan.

Jalong was left behind, but of course, Albiot didn't give him a break; he wanted him to go find the lost Shaka.

With a rare moment of free time, Jia Long certainly wouldn't go looking for Shaka.

He returned to the stone house, took out the map drawn by Milo, and decided to scout out several places in the Sanctuary that might contain treasures.

Jalong's first target was Canon Island.

Kanon Island is where Ikki healed his wounds in the manga, where Pegasus awakened his seventh sense, and even the famous Gemini Defteros, a former Gold Saint, trained...

Based on his past life experience, Jia Long felt that this island was definitely not simple and might be hiding some great opportunity.

Jalon's second target was Saint Paros Island, which was also the location of the Sanctuary's prison.

In the comics, Galon was imprisoned in a water dungeon between St. Paros Island and the Strait of Snevan, where he stumbled upon Poseidon's trident.

Jia Long also wanted to find the trident, so that he would have more options if the Holy War broke out in the future.

The third target was the mysterious astrological mound.

The Astrological Hill is where the Pope observes the stars. It also serves as the Sanctuary's archives and storeroom, hiding many of the Sanctuary's secrets, such as the famous god-slaying dagger—the Blade of Chrysos—which Saga found here.

This is something so good it can draw blood from the gods!

If only I could get one for self-defense...

Jia Long was filled with excitement and rushed out of the Grand Canyon.

A few hours later, they returned home disappointed.

"Is it really that hard to be a thief in the Sanctuary?"

Jia Long first went to Canon Island, which, according to Miro's map, is the closest to the Grand Canyon.

Upon reaching the coast, they discovered that what was supposed to be "near" was actually hundreds of nautical miles away, and the sea route was heavily guarded. Only the permission of the Silver Saint of the Giant constellation, one of the four guardians of the Sanctuary, was required to set foot on Kanon Island.

Given Jia Long's capabilities, he was simply unable to land on the island undetected and had no choice but to give up.

After that, Jalon went to St. Paros Island.

Similar to Kanon Island, Saint Palos Island, being the location of the Holy Domain's prison—the Divine Prison—is even more heavily guarded.

Moreover, Jia Long learned from one of the guards that the warden guarding the Divine Might Prison was an extremely ruthless fighter.

The constellation Peacock, one of the Seven Wonders of the Silver Age!

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Sparrow, Snake, Eagle – these are all new-generation Silver-ranked powerhouses, young and vigorous, with formidable strength, far less approachable than veterans like Immortal Kings and Giant Dukes.

After weighing his own strength, Jia Long had no choice but to give up again.

The last place we visited was the astrology hill.

Unlike the two islands, the Astrological Hill is located on the back of Mount Acropolis, a forbidden area of ​​the Sanctuary. Normally, only His Holiness the Pope himself, the Altar of the Four Guardians, and two Bronze Saints who assist in observing the stars can enter.

Because it is adjacent to the twelve houses and Bronze Saints are present year-round, the defenses outside the Astrological Mound are not very strict.

There is only one primeval forest.

However, the forest is home to many legendary creatures, said to have been released and raised by His Holiness the Pope.

The Pope was a vegetarian environmentalist. During the Holy War more than 200 years ago, he found many extinct ancient creatures on the Noah and brought them back to the Sanctuary to raise them.

Over the past 200 years, these organisms have grown to a considerable size, forming a natural barrier for the mounds of stars.

Even from a distance, Jia Long saw many legendary creatures, such as scorpions larger than oxen, Pegasus with a single horn, and golden goats, among others.

Especially these golden sheep, which are somewhat like the golden-haired sheep in mythology, can not only fly in the sky at great speed, but are also extremely vigilant and will let out a bleating scream when they encounter any danger.

He's a natural-born patrolman!

"To infiltrate the Astrological Mound, we must first take down the Golden Sheep, otherwise its howl will be heard throughout the entire Acropolis."

Realizing he couldn't handle the Golden Sheep, Jia Long had no choice but to give up on the Astrology Mound.

Disappointed, Jia Long returned to the Grand Canyon and, after much agonizing reflection, decided to focus on improving his strength first.

"In this world, it's hard to even be a thief without the power!"

Chapter 27 Resonance! The Will of the Stars (Part 1)

In the days that followed, Jia Long focused his main efforts on winning over Black Saga and Oni, determined to thoroughly understand both of their mirror images.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Albio's persistent and rigorous training, the young warriors finally awakened their cosmos.

Yarubio was pleased.

The only regret is that none of them awakened during the special training on Fairy Island.

such as.

Aiolos awakened naturally after learning all the dogmas.

Saga awakened by chance while reciting the "History of the Great Holy War".

Mu awakened while protecting a sacred garment.

Aldebaran awakened while working as a kitchen helper in the cafeteria.

Milo was awakened by watching films...

and many more.

Even Aphrodite, whom Albiot favored the most and considered to have the most Andromeda Island spirit, did not awaken his cosmos during his special training on Andromeda Island, but rather awakened his cosmos amidst his gnashing hatred for Albiot.

Aphrodite's cosmos was filled with hatred, and he secretly developed a new fighting technique during his endless fish-feeding training—the Piranha Rose!

This move was clearly intended for Alubio.

But Albiot was unaware of this; he was still basking in the joy of being a teacher, believing that Aphrodite was very talented and that he would arrange more similar special training for him in the future.

In summary, the first tier successfully completed the first phase of training, and its progress far exceeded that of the second and third tiers during the same period.

It is understood that after a month of intensive training, the second and third teams combined have only managed to awaken one boy named Orpheus.

This Orpheus was thus promoted to the first tier, replacing the underperforming Viking coward Xue Du.

When Yarubio announced the changes to the roster, Xue Du choked up and burst into tears several times.

Not sad.

Instead, they were excited.

……

"The world of Saint Seiya is so cruel. Only the strong can stay in our first echelon, while the weak can only carry endless grievances and resentment... Cough! Never mind, let's continue with the lesson."

Albio had intended to take this opportunity to give the young fighters a warning, but Xue Du left in such a cheerful manner that he showed no sign of resentment or unwillingness, only excitement at escaping from the lion's den and heading to the second tier to crush the weak.

So Albiot wisely chose to change the subject.

"Today's topic is awakening your ruling planet!"

"You've all heard the saying, 'Whenever evil spreads in the world, a Saint of Hope appears.' But have you ever thought about this..."

"Saints only train for a few years or a dozen years, while the evil forces that appear in the world have been cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years. How can the Saints defeat them?"

"That's because we can resonate with the stars, and we can use the power of the vast universe!"

"The reason why Saint Seiya is so powerful is that he can use his Saint Cloth as a medium to mobilize the power of the stars in the universe through his own Cosmo. In this way, we can have power far beyond our own!"

Albiot begins by clearly explaining the uses of awakened guardian astrology.

Jia Long knew all of this; it was all in Oni's insights, and in much more detail than what Birubio is now explaining.

In summary, awakening your guardian astrological aspect has three main uses:

First, they have the qualifications to compete for the Saint Cloth.

Secondly, they can mobilize the power of the stars to enhance themselves, thus possessing an inexhaustible source of power.

Third, it can unleash some special combat techniques, such as the Galactic Explosion.

The power of the Galactic Explosion lies in its ability to concentrate the terrifying power of Gemini. Without Gemini, no matter how well the Galactic Explosion imitates it, it is merely a facade.

The Galactic Explosion fighting technique originated from the characteristics of the Gemini constellation.

Gemini is the most unstable constellation in the celestial sphere. It contains two large stars, a bright one and a dark one, which are astronomically known as a white hole and a black hole, respectively. Ancient astronomers once predicted that if the bright and dark stars in Gemini collided, a stellar storm powerful enough to destroy the entire Milky Way would be created.

Therefore, the Saint Seiya's view of power is ultimately a cosmology.

Not everyone can use the fighting techniques of Saint Seiya. Any fighting technique that requires the use of the power of the stars requires the awakening of the corresponding guardian star.

Of course, how much star power one can borrow depends on one's own inner universe.

Even if you don't have enough strength, you can't ascend to heaven even if you wear the Gold Cloth.

"Everyone has their own natal ruling planet. I have one, and so do you. The task of this stage of cultivation is to find each of your ruling planets and find a way to resonate with the will of the stars above them!"

Albio's mission sounds simple at first glance.

But it is actually the most difficult.

With so many constellations in the sky, who knows which one will protect them?

Even if you find your ruling planet, how can you resonate with the will of the stars and communicate with them?

The young fighters were completely baffled.

However, Albiot had given instructions that even if the divine beast was soaring in one's heart, one could only pretend to look up at the starry sky.

Unfortunately, it was still daytime, and there was nothing to see except the sun.

"Don't worry about the Sun. Your ruling planet is always present, and everyone is influenced by their ruling planet, thus possessing certain astrological aspects."

"Starting from your own inherent affinity, try to unleash your inner universe, let your sixth sense soar into the sky, and sense the stars that exist in the distant future, whose affinity resonates with yours..."

Albiot's tone became increasingly cryptic.

The young warriors were getting more and more confused.
