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

“Triton, if we want Sister Amphitrite to return and reign supreme over the sea, we can only start with Poseidon. The Galactic Arena Tournament three years from now will be an excellent opportunity. I just want to know, do you have the courage and resolve to face a Poseidon who has awakened prematurely?”

"Why three years later? Poseidon is not worthy to be my mother's husband at all. I can go and fight him to the death right now!"

"Because three years from now, even if Poseidon awakens prematurely because of you, we won't be alone. At that time, other divine forces will also gather at the Galactic Arena, including powerful beings who have grudges against Poseidon, such as the Twin Gods of Death and Sleep..."

"Thanatos and Hypnos of the Underworld? They also had a grudge against Poseidon?"

"Well, from what I understand, Hypnos, the god of sleep, seems to owe Poseidon a huge debt, while Poseidon seems to owe Thanatos, the god of death, a huge debt. If the two gods of sleep and death were to encounter an awakened Poseidon, they would never let things go!"

"A mountain of debt? Do you think those three gods would fight over money?"

"The debt I'm talking about isn't just money..."

"?!"

……

When the extradimensional space was dispelled, Triton and Tiamat led their people away from the North Atlantic. Before leaving, the two gods waved goodbye to Jalong, and the atmosphere between them was unusually harmonious.

Seeing this bizarre scene, all the spectators were dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, two god-level experts and an ice domain powerhouse were besieging General Hailong. How did these two mortal enemies suddenly become friends?

What exactly happened in that strange space?

Nobody knows.

All they knew was that the crisis for the Ocean Prince had been resolved.

Despite the fact that General Sea Dragon single-handedly blasted the Dragon Mother, defeated Triton, and faced the two sea gods and the Ice Princess alone, he managed to protect the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans that he was guarding.

Call ~

With the sea breeze blowing, Jalon and Hilda returned to Coral Island together. Accompanying them were not only Andreas from the Ice Domain, but also Sorrento and Kasa.

Previously, while Jalon faced Tiamat and Terry, the two of them were up against Ksura and Io.

A battle between two sea generals began with great fanfare, but ended inexplicably.

At this moment, the two of them were also confused. However, as generals of the sea, although they were confused, they still showed their composure and calmness under the watchful eyes of everyone. Their faces showed that although they did not know what was going on, they knew that this was how it was.

"General Hailong has won!"

"General Hailong is too powerful! He can easily defeat even a god like Prince Triton. He is simply an invincible war god of our sea realm!"

"Yes, with General Sea Dragon here, we in the North Atlantic have true peace. This victory is a great salvation for us sea people who believe in His Highness Poseidon!"

"It's not just the North Atlantic, it's the entire ocean realm. Didn't you see that even the Ice Princess has put aside her hostility?"

Amidst the cheers of the sea people, Jia Long and his party returned to the Fishman Royal Court.

Seeing that Jalong had returned unharmed, Ilya and Ditis excitedly rushed into his arms, completely ignoring the presence of others, which made Sorrento and Hilda extremely unhappy.

Feeling that his friendship with Ditis was over, Sorrento turned to other sources of comfort and approached Mimi, who was also very interested in him.

Hilda's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she had other plans...

That night.

While Jalon was enjoying a rare moment of leisure in the hot springs, Hilda's beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the shore.

Hilda, what brings you here?

"Saga... I want to make it up to you, I want to avenge you! Your evil brother Kanon stole your Twin Cloth, so I will give you what he could never have!"

"what?"

"I!"

"Uh, Hilda, are you running a fever? Aren't you uninterested in men?"

"What, you're looking down on me? I'm a real woman, after all, much better than you spending all your time with those mermaid wives like Ditis, right?"

"What's wrong with a mermaid wife? A mermaid wife also likes men, which is better than a cold and aloof wife like you."

"Saga, you... die!"

Chapter 403 Chaos! Ikki Becomes Shaka's Apprentice (Part 1)

After the Triton crisis was resolved, peace was restored in the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. However, just as the people of the two oceans were celebrating, bad news came.

The great purge of the seas is not over yet.

Triton and Tiamat did not spare the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, but because of the power of General Sea Dragon, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement, allowing the North Atlantic and North Pacific to remain neutral, but all sea people who believed in Poseidon were to be expelled from these two oceans.

Simply put, it's about exchanging faith for peace!

The news spread like wildfire across the two oceans. All the sea people who had worshipped Poseidon for generations could not understand why the Sea Dragon General would make such a decision.

Is it merely because of peace?

Or was it because he also betrayed Poseidon?

If even the Sea Dragon General chose to betray, then can Poseidon, who has ruled the seven seas since the age of mythology, still be called the Sea Emperor?

Regardless of what the sea people thought, with the spread of this news, there was no longer any place for Poseidon's followers in the seven oceans.

Fortunately, General Hailong was very considerate of the sea people, giving the Poseidon followers of the two oceans enough time to evacuate. He also reached an agreement with the neighboring Ice Domain, which would designate an area on the vast permafrost to receive the sea people migrating from the sea.

Poseidon's followers can still survive.

All you need to do is abide by the laws of the icy region and pay sufficient land use tax, personal income tax, free breathing tax, air pollution tax, birth tax, education tax, single status tax, marriage tax, housing tax, medical tax, funeral tax...

Of course, these sea people can be exempted from taxes as long as they swear to convert to Odin.

By swearing to convert to the faith of the Sea Queen, one can return to the sea realm.

In short, the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, as neutral zones of the sea boundaries, have a very lenient policy, which is quite different from the iron-fisted policy pursued by the other five oceans.

It was all because of General Hailong's kindness...

……

Just as the great migration of the sea was in full swing.

Jia Long then secretly arrived at the Phoenix Islands in the South Pacific.

The Phoenix Islands, also known as the Phoenix Islands, are said to have evolved from fragments of the continent of Mu. Located deep in the South Pacific Ocean near the equator, straddling the International Date Line, the Phoenix Islands consist of eighty-eight islands, among which the island with the harshest living conditions and the most famous is known as Death Queen Island.

Death Queen Island is scorched by fire rain year-round, and the ground is as hot as if it were on fire, yet it is the most populous and prosperous island in the Phoenix Islands.

The reason is simple: the headquarters of the Dark Saints is located here, and criminals wanted on land and sea like to come here for protection. Moreover, if they are lucky, they can join the Dark Saints and obtain the legendary Dark Cloth, which is second only to the real Saint Cloth.

Of course, Jalon came to Death Queen Island not for the Dark Saints.

He came at the invitation of Girudi.

At this moment, Jia Long was sitting in the huge lava cave where the Dark Saints headquarters was located, listening with great interest to Giluti, who was sitting on a tiger-skin chair opposite him, telling the story of Death Queen Island.

"Gallon, what do you think this Death Queen Island is like?"

"I feel like I'm in a giant furnace."

"That's right, but not a big furnace, but a big iron furnace! In mythology, after Hera gave birth to Hephaestus, the god of fire, she disliked his ugliness and threw him off Mount Olympus. Hephaestus fell here and became lame in one leg. Later, the Cyclopes, who risked their lives to break through the abyss, rescued Hephaestus and raised him here, teaching him the unique skill of forging divine artifacts."

"The Cyclops is the Craftsman Titan among the twelve Titans, and the mortal enemy of the Olympian gods. He deeply hates Zeus, the king of the gods, and even kidnapped Hera, the queen of the gods. Why would he risk his life to save Zeus's descendant?"

"Because Vulcan is also one-eyed, they probably got along well because they looked similar..."

Giluti looked much better, a stark contrast to his dejected state when he left the Yama Kingdom, and even cracked a joke for the first time:

"Speaking of which, Vulcan is also pitiful. He was lonely since childhood and didn't have many friends when he grew up. It is said that it is very simple to become his friend, as long as you don't mind his appearance or have designs on his wife."

"Unfortunately, among all the Olympian gods, only Athena meets both of these conditions."

"Later, to help Athena in the Holy War, Vulcan forged the first Saint Cloth for her here, the Phoenix Saint Cloth. It is said that Vulcan infused his own divine blood into this Saint Cloth. The reason the first Saint Cloth is Phoenix is ​​because when Vulcan was thrown from the heavens by Athena, it was accompanied by the Phoenix meteor shower. This Saint Cloth represents his experience of being reborn from the ashes..."

"Therefore, the Phoenix Cloth holds a very special position among the eighty-eight Cloths. It is like the god of fire, seemingly inconspicuous, yet possessing extremely powerful potential. In fact, it is the only Cloth among all that can evolve into a God Cloth through its own power!"

When talking about the origin of the Phoenix Cloth, Gildart's face was full of pride, even though he was now facing Gemini, one of the twelve Gold Saints.

However, Jia Long sensed something unusual in Jiruti's words.

"Senior Giroud, why are you telling me all this?"

"Because I'm going to return it to the Sanctuary."

"oh?!"

"Galon, do you remember our promise? I wanted you to bring Ikki or Shun to Death Queen Island so I could raise them myself and have them avenge my mother when they grew up, thus ending the hatred between me and the woman I love. But now I'm not going to do that..."

"oh?!"

“When will this cycle of revenge end? What I’m doing is just using new hatred to cover up old hatred. While it may bring solace to my soul, it’s cruel to Ikki and Shun. They may live in pain for the rest of their lives.”

"Senior Giru, how did you suddenly come to this realization?"

"because of love."

"like?!"

"Yes, it is love. I've lived for over 30 years, and only now do I understand that the only woman in this world who can make a man forget a woman is another woman!"

"Another woman?"

Jia Long was stunned again. Could it be that even someone as devoted as Jiruti had become a womanizer?

How can this be?

Girudi seemed to sense Jialong's doubt, and he smiled faintly:

"Ikki and Shun's mothers embodied my fantasies about love, but Esmeralda's mother made me realize that love is real, because... because she made me a real man... It was a wonderful experience I hadn't had in 30 years!"

"So, Kanon, I've decided to get married! I invited you here to attend my wedding, and also to have you take the Phoenix Cloth back to Sanctuary. Also, please take my goddaughter Esmeralda back with you, because this child also wants to become a Saint!"

"?!"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Unfortunately, I only have a few days of holiday left, my schedule is packed. I have to go to the cemetery at 8:30 to participate in a memorial service, so I'll update early.

Chapter 404 Chaos! Ikki Becomes Shaka's Apprentice (Part 2)

Jia Long followed Jiruti out of the lava cave.

The headquarters of the Dark Saints is like a huge training base for warriors, extending down the active volcano where the lava cave is located, encompassing almost half of Death Queen Island.
