Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Immediately, Wu Xin and the others severed contact and continued their search with their respective subordinates.

Soon, Wuxin also encountered the kind of alternate dimension stronghold that Hasgard had mentioned.

Having received a warning from Hasgard beforehand, he didn't rush in with Rang Ye and the others, but went in alone.

Sure enough, it was a trap, easy to get in but hard to get out.

To escape, you must defeat the three evil spirit warriors guarding the altar inside.

Unfortunately, those three guys were blessed with the power of an unknown god transformed through the altar, making them difficult to kill directly.

Left with no other choice, Wuxin had to destroy them along with the altar on the ground.

As a result, just like Taurus Hasgard's fate, he was also affected by the collapse of the other-dimensional space.

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

Seeing him suddenly burst out of a dimensional turbulence, looking quite disheveled, Tengyusa Ryouye, who was waiting outside, rushed up to inquire with concern.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Wu Xin waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "I just fell into the trap of the evil spirit warrior and suffered some minor injuries!"

As he spoke, he mobilized his inner power to stimulate his body's recovery, and his wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With his silver body and the protection of the Giant Saint Cloth, even the collapse of the other dimension only caused him some minor injuries.

Besides Wuxin's group, the other leading Gold Saints also encountered similar dimensional traps.

Immediately, everyone complained bitterly.

However, no one noticed that after the collapse of the extradimensional space, a new magic circle quietly took shape and was imprinted in the void.

As more and more alternate dimensions collapsed, the number of magic arrays imprinted in the void also increased.

They resonated quietly, combined, and slowly formed a massive magic circle that covered the entire land of North Africa.

At the same time, Wu Xin and the others continued their search and advance toward the center of North Africa as planned.

Although the exact location of the Ghost Warriors' core stronghold has not yet been found, everyone has still obtained some scattered and ambiguous information from those low-level Ghost Warriors.

After everyone shared their findings and analyzed the information, they arrived at a truly incredible answer.

The core stronghold of the Evil Spirits is in Atlantis.

“I say, have we made a mistake? Or have we been misled by those cunning fellows?” Leo Regulus was the first to voice his opinion.

Atlantis, the legendary underwater city, was also the palace of Poseidon, the sea god.

Poseidon, the sea god, is one of the top chief gods in the entire Olympian pantheon.

No matter how bold an unknown evil god may be, he would never dare to occupy the Sea Emperor's palace as his own lair.

"I also suspect that we may have been misled by the false information they released!"

Aquarius Degel chimed in, "Because I recently visited Atlantis, where the Ghost Warriors fought a fierce battle with the Sea General."

"This shows that their core stronghold is not in Atlantis."

“But what if they moved there after that?” Pegasus raised a different opinion.

"It's very simple, just have someone verify it!"

Shion calmly replied, "Sisyphus, suggest to Lord Sasha that they quickly send someone to Atlantis to check on the situation!"

"No need, I already know!"

Sasha, who was atop the sacred mountain, had already overheard the conversation. She then sent a message into the Scorpio Palace: "Caldia, since you have nothing better to do, why don't you take a trip to Atlantis!"

"In Brugler, Siberia, beneath the lord's castle lies a hidden secret passage leading to Atlantis!"

"For details, you can ask Degel; he just went there last time!"

"Yes, Lord Sasha!"

Caldia, who was already bored out of his mind, immediately accepted the task with great excitement.

Soon, with the guidance of his friend Degel, Cardia successfully entered the underwater city of Atlantis.

"I have arrived in Atlantis, everyone!" Cardia strolled around the city while using telekinesis to contact Wuxin and the others in North Africa.

"Senior Cardia, what's the situation? Has the Ghost Warriors moved their core base to Atlantis?" Pegasus asked anxiously.

"terribly sorry!"

Cardia shook his head and said seriously, "Aside from the remnants of the last battle, there is no indication that the evil spirit warriors have been stationed here for a long time."

“Their core stronghold has not moved here. You must have been misled by the false intelligence they deliberately released!” Cardia stopped next to a set of footprints and crouched down to examine them closely.

The mark was left a long time ago, not recently.

Upon hearing this, Sagittarius Sisyphus couldn't help but say, "It's better to be cautious and not rush to conclusions!"

"Perhaps they used some special method to hide it, who knows!"

"Could you please thoroughly investigate the entire situation of Atlantis, Cardia?"

Even if it is indeed false intelligence released by the enemy, it must be carefully verified.

If the intelligence is true and they miss it due to their negligence, then they will be in big trouble.

“Alright, I’ll search the entire Atlantis again!” Cardia solemnly replied, then released his senses and began to carefully search every building in this underwater city.

Chapter 396 The Sacrifice Array

However, as the search continued, Cardia still found no clues about where the evil warriors resided in this underwater city.

After searching five times in a row, he reluctantly ended the search and contacted Wuxin and the others.

"Gentlemen, I have searched Atlantis five times and confirmed that there are no evil spirit warriors here!"

"The information you received is indeed wrong!" Cardia reported the results to everyone earnestly.

"This is going to be a real headache!" Hasgard scratched his head.

During their search of Scorpio, they obtained a number of scattered pieces of information, but the general content remained unchanged, with the target still pointing directly to the legendary underwater city of Atlantis.

Just then, Odysseus of Ophiuchus suddenly spoke up: "Let's put that aside for now. I've discovered something else strange."

"What is it?" Shion asked curiously.

Odysseus said earnestly, "I've noticed that my life force is slowly draining away, as if an invisible force is drawing it from my body!"

The loss was so subtle that most people couldn't detect it, but as a top-notch physician, Odysseus was particularly sensitive to things like life force, so he could sense the change.

"The loss of vitality?"

Everyone was astonished.

"Could it be your imagination?" Shion asked tentatively.

"Are you kidding me?" Odysseus retorted irritably.

"Uh--"

Shion didn't dare to say anything more.

When it comes to the study of life, no one in the entire Sanctuary can surpass Odysseus, including the goddess Athena.

Just then, Hasgard spoke up: "Speaking of life loss, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like my physical strength is depleting very quickly lately."

"I wonder if it's because of the extra loss of life force!"

At first, he thought it was because of his injury that he felt so tired.

But later I realized that my physical strength was being depleted faster than usual.

Now, hearing Odysseus speak of the slow loss of life force, he couldn't help but connect the two.

"Increased physical exertion?"

Upon hearing Hasgard's words, the other Saints couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions.

“I didn’t feel anything before you mentioned it, but now that you’ve brought it up, I feel like my stamina is being depleted faster!” Shion immediately chimed in.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

In an instant, not only Shion, but also the other Saints echoed his sentiments.

"What's going on?" Wu Xin was immediately taken aback.

He immediately asked the four men again and received similar answers.

"Something's not right! Everyone's stamina is being depleted rapidly, this is very abnormal!" Wu Xin quickly reported the situation on his side.

The other Gold Saints also noticed something amiss and began questioning their subordinates, only to receive the same answer.

"Oh no! It must be those evil spirit warriors who did something! Please help us find the source of the loss of life as soon as possible!" Odysseus immediately made the suggestion.

"It's just a little tiring, is it really necessary to take it so seriously?" Pegasus asked, somewhat puzzled.

"How could it just make people a little tired?"

Odysseus said solemnly with a serious expression, "Wearyness is merely a symptom caused by the loss of life."

"In essence, we are accelerating toward death!"

"If we cannot find the root cause as soon as possible, we may weaken and die from the loss of life!"

"What!!"

Upon hearing this, Pegasus, who hadn't paid much attention before, was suddenly horrified.

Hearing the conversation, Sasha, equally puzzled, turned her gaze to North Africa, taking in the entire region from above.

At this moment, the large-scale combined magic array that was originally hidden in the void was fully revealed in her divine vision.

"Oh no, it's a sacrificial formation!"

Although the magic array was not yet fully perfected, relying on the wisdom and experience of a deity, she immediately recognized the hidden magic array concealed in the skies above the North African continent.

It was a sacrificial array that drew upon life force.

It is also the most commonly used magic array by many evil gods, which is used to draw on the lives of mortals to revive themselves.
