Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

That was a barrier set up by the Sea God. It was because of the existence of the barrier that the entire Atlantis was protected from being submerged by the sea.

After his reflections, Degel did not linger and headed towards the center of Atlantis.

However, as he approached the heart of Atlantis, signs of battle began to appear on the ground.

"Something... has happened?"

Degel was startled and quickly sped up his search.

This sacred realm once clashed with the sea realm in a holy war, which resulted in the sealing of Poseidon, the Sea Emperor. It is not surprising that traces of the battle remain here.

But what concerned Degel was that the signs of battle here looked very fresh, as if they had been left not long ago, rather than from the holy war more than two hundred years ago.

Soon, Degel followed the trail and found the central temple.

Outside the temple, corpses littered the ground, and the surrounding buildings were in ruins, clearly indicating that a great battle had taken place.

"Oh no, the Sea Emperor's seal!"

Degel seemed to have thought of something, and without bothering to check the corpses on the ground, he rushed into the temple.

After the last Holy War, the goddess Athena sealed Poseidon and left his soul in Atlantis. If someone were to break the seal and release Poseidon, things would become very troublesome.

blah blah blah!

With hurried footsteps, Degel rushed into the depths of the temple.

However, deep within the temple, beneath the colossal statue of the Sea God, the Athena's Jar, which had originally sealed the Sea God's soul, had vanished.

"Oh no, something really has happened!" Degel's heart sank immediately.

Looking around again, he suddenly noticed a corpse wearing dark gold armor lying on the ground not far away.

Although the armor was split in two along with the corpse, Degel still sensed a powerful fluctuation from that suit of armor.

That was a suit of armor no less impressive than the Gold Cloth!

"Could it be the legendary Sea General's Scale Armor, comparable to the Gold Cloth?" Degel immediately stepped forward, preparing to conduct further examination.

However, as he turned the body over, he saw a familiar face.

"Yunite?"

"How could it be him??"

Degelton was stunned on the spot.

He never imagined that his reunion with his friend years later would be under such circumstances and in such a different form.

To his even greater shock, his friend had become a cold corpse.

No wonder the steward in the lord's castle said that he hadn't seen Uniti for many days.

Although he didn't see exactly what happened there, Degel still managed to roughly deduce what had happened.

In order to revive Seraphine, Unity came into contact with the power of Poseidon.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Uniti was recognized and allowed to wear this dark gold Sea General scale armor.

But not long ago, a group of evil spirit warriors led by the victims arrived here.

Unity may not have known them, but because of Odysseus, Degel already knew that it was the victims who had abducted Seraphine.

Perhaps to seize the power of the Sea Emperor, or for some other reason, the evil spirit warriors led by the victims and the Sea General Unity, who guards Atlantis, engaged in a fierce battle here.

Ultimately, General Unidy was killed in battle, and Sarafina and the sealed soul of the Sea Emperor were also captured.

"This is a huge problem!"

Degel couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He then removed the scales from Uniti's body, reassembled the corpse, and used ice to seal it together, creating an ice coffin before taking the body back to Brugler.

"Lord Yuniti?"

The old steward of the lord's castle was stunned to see the man in the ice coffin again.

"Lord Degel, what... what's going on?" the old steward hurriedly asked.

“Yuni died unexpectedly. What you see now is just his corpse!” Degel sighed softly and gently placed the ice coffin down.

"The...the master has passed away?"

Upon receiving this news, the old butler felt a wave of dizziness.

Degel quickly caught him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"I cannot explain the specific cause of Unity's death! As for his funeral, I will trouble the old butler to handle it!" He then instructed the old man.

The old man steadied himself, wiped away his tears, and said, "With both Serafina and Lord Uniti gone, to whom shall the position of lord of Brugler be passed?"

After saying that, he stared at the young man in front of him.

Degel shook his head and sighed, "I am a Saint of the Sanctuary, and such domestic affairs of the kingdom are not within my jurisdiction."

"As for the next lord, let the king decide for himself!"

Although the Holy Land possesses formidable military power, they also adhere to the rules set by the goddess Athena and will never rashly interfere in mortal affairs, especially matters of royal domestic affairs.

Because the power possessed by Saint Seiya is far too great for ordinary people, and if it is not restrained, ordinary people have no chance of fighting against it.

If we allow everyone to interfere in these matters, it could very well turn ordinary people into slaves or vassals of the Saint Seiya.

Only by keeping the Saint Seiya away from worldly affairs can ordinary people below have a fairer living and development environment.

After helping with the funeral arrangements for Unity, Degel returned to the Sanctuary and reported the loss of the Athena's Jar, which sealed the soul of the Sea Emperor.

"This is troublesome!"

Sagittarius Sisyphus frowned upon hearing this.

Once Poseidon breaks free from his seal, the situation in this holy war will become even more difficult.

Perhaps sensing everyone's thoughts, Sasha immediately reassured them, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I can clearly sense that the seal I left on the Sea Emperor's soul has not yet been broken!"

"Although we don't know what the evil spirit warriors are trying to do, as long as we can find them before they break the seal, everything will be fine!"

Hearing this, the group of gold-digging men breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chapter 381 Return to the Holy Land

Not long after Degel returned, Wuxin and the other two also returned to the Sanctuary.

Upon seeing Odysseus's gleaming golden Ophiuchus Cloth, many of the Saints were immediately filled with curiosity and cast their gazes toward him.

If it weren't for the powerful aura emanating from the three, they would have surrounded them long ago.

However, compared to the Crypt Lord Cloth of Odysseus, which was transformed from silver to gold, Odysseus's Ophiuchus Cloth is indeed quite different.

The Ophiuchus Cloth was originally a Gold Cloth, but it was demoted by the gods. Now that the seal has been lifted, it naturally appears as a solid gold like other Gold Cloths, rather than the gold and silver combination like the Crater Cloth.

After handing over the rebellious former Grand Duke Beck to his subordinates, Wuxin and the other two went up to the summit of the Holy Mountain.

Meanwhile, to welcome the new Gold Saint Ophiuchus, many Gold Saints gathered before the Athena's Throne.

"Greetings, Lord Sasha!"

The three of them knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

"Get up, all of you!"

Sasha, sitting on the throne, gently raised her hand and released an invisible psychic force to help the three of them up.

Then she looked at Ophiuchus, who was clad in golden armor and holding a golden serpent scepter, and asked with a smile, "Long time no see!"

"Now, should I call you 'Odysseus' or 'Ascellepius'?"

“Lord Sasha, just call me ‘Odysseus’! ‘Asclepius’ is a legend of the past!” Odysseus replied respectfully.

“Finally learned humility! It seems the lessons the gods taught you weren’t entirely meaningless!” Sasha nodded affirmatively.

Ophiuchus Asclepius was once a Gold Saint of the Sanctuary, but as time went by, he gradually became arrogant and conceited.

Although Athena never explicitly stated it, Sasha could still find a trace of dissatisfaction deep within her memories.

Clearly, Athena herself had some dissatisfaction with the arrogant Gold Ophiuchus.

“This is the price we have to pay for growing up!” Odysseus replied helplessly.

"Very good, very good!"

Sasha nodded and added, "At least you have indeed grown!"

"If things continue as they were in your previous life, I'm afraid your fate in this life will remain unchanged!"

Then, she looked at the three of them and gestured, "Give us a proper report on what happened on Elba Island!"

"I want to know what exactly happened!"

"Yes!"

Wu Xin responded and then recounted what he had seen and heard.

Combined with some additional information from Odysseus of Ophiuchus, everyone finally understood that all the accidents on Elba Island were caused by the victims seeking revenge against Odysseus.

"But do you really not know who that victim is, Odysseus?" Leo Regulus pressed once more.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know!"

Odysseus shook his head and said helplessly, "Even though I have awakened my memories of my past life, I still have no recollection of the victims!"

"I only have a vague feeling that the victims are indeed closely related to me!"

"Actually, the suffering of the victims is just a minor matter!"

Wu Xin paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "The real trouble is the Slayers who came to reinforce later, and the god behind them!"

Upon hearing this, Pegasus couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Senior Sisyphus that the Slayer is very strong. Just how strong is he?"

The gods behind the evil spirits are not his concern for the time being. As Saints, their main focus is on the warriors under the gods.

"It's not just strong, it's extremely powerful!"

Wu Xin said solemnly, “Looking at all the opponents I’ve ever faced, his strength can be said to be among the strongest of all mortals!”

"Perhaps only a god could suppress him!"
