The sun rose from the sea, and the red light dyed my body the color of roasted meat. It was really appetizing. I climbed up from the rock and walked towards the Sanctuary in a daze. Sleeping until I wake up naturally has always been my dream. However, ever since I decided to become a Saint Seiya, I had to work hard to torture myself. When I became a Saint Seiya, I had to strictly control my daily routine in order to increase my strength. My entire person was moving closer to a machine.
The reason why he slept on the rock last night was because he had been running around these days and was exhausted. Secondly, after I confessed my secret to Shazhi last night, the shackles that had been binding my body and mind disappeared, making me feel very relaxed. I couldn't help but relax. In fact, he also had the intention of reducing the pressure on himself. After all, when the battle began, it would be difficult to rest.
Shaking, I finally arrived at the Pope's Palace. Today was the day of the expedition against the Sea Realm. The Sea Emperor had just left yesterday, and today he was going to raid their lair. Shazhi's character was really swift and decisive.
After having breakfast with the goddess, everyone was ready to move out. This time, there were a total of eight Gold Saints, one Silver Saint, five Bronze Saints, Athena, and me. The Holy Region was left to the Pope, Milo, and Arudiba.
Going to the Sea Realm was not like in the original novel. Hoshiya and the others jumped into the forbidden area recorded in the Norse records. If they were lucky, they could reach it. The Sea Realm was very vast. After all, there was an ocean pillar in the center of every ocean, covering almost all the sea areas. The Holy Region was probably the smallest in terms of territory.
With the help of Shazhi's divine power, the sixteen of us arrived at the Sea Realm. What entered our eyes were stone steps and stone pillars that were similar to the style of the Holy Region. After all, it was a building from the Mythological Era, so it was not surprising that the style was similar. There weren't any flowers or trees in the Sea Realm. There were only coral-like decorations, which were quite unique. Moreover, under the effect of Poseidon's divine power, there would not be any dimming of the light or stagnation of the air. In comparison, the Underworld still had a long way to go in this aspect.
Shazhi looked around as if she was reminiscing. After a while, she ordered," Let's move!”The rest of the Saint Seiyas standing behind her bowed and silently formed a group of two as they ran towards their target. Meanwhile, Athena and I slowly walked towards the Poseidon Shrine.
Along the way, Shazhi continuously imparted architectural knowledge to me, such as the artistic style of the surrounding buildings, the reasons for their formation, cultural heritage, and so on. I was more cooperative in letting out exclamations and praises. Perhaps it was because she realized that I was distracted, or perhaps it was because the Poseidon Shrine was right in front of her, but Shazhi only glanced at me indifferently and focused her attention on the shrine in front of her.
In my opinion, the temple in front of me was no different from the one in the Holy Region. It was like a factory with a triangular roof fence, but the decorative patterns had become waves and the sea emperor. Carving your own image on the wall of your own house, Poseidon, you are really narcissistic!
The first to arrive were Disco Musk and Ichiteru, who were in charge of eliminating the hydra general Casa. Disco complained about his opponent being too weak the moment he met him and died after a few rounds. Kazuki also put on a cold face to express his dissatisfaction and disappointment. I smiled and didn't argue with them, because the original plan was to concentrate the superior forces and destroy them one by one. I didn't have the intention of fighting a protracted war with the weak.
I was more worried about Camus and Master. Camus was in charge of his own disciple, Azak, while Master's opponent was his younger brother, Garen. Although the difference in strength was a sure win, I was afraid that they would hold back because of their friendship. I don't want to see either side get injured or even die.
Soon, the others returned. They were all uninjured. It seemed that the battle was not difficult. Binghe was carrying a huge ice sculpture with a person frozen in it. The scar across his eyes on his face indicated that he was Azik. It seemed that Camus really didn't want to be ruthless, or else he wouldn't have used such a method of preservation. Think of a way to beg Shazhi for mercy and let Azak go. Azak had sided with the Sea Realm because he worshipped the justice that the Stingray represented. Besides, I looked at Garen, who had come with Master Saga, and thought," If we let go of the main culprit, it would be too unkind of us to hold on to Little Fish."
Everyone's eyes were on Garen. After all, he was once a Gemini. Although he had expressed his willingness to return to the Sanctuary through my contact, traitors are not welcomed no matter where they go.
" Goddess Athena..." Garen came to Shazhi. He did not plead for mercy, nor did he absolve himself. He only knelt respectfully and bent down to express his attitude.
Shazhi looked expressionlessly at Garen who was kneeling on the ground. To be fair, she did not want to let Garen off easily, but Garen was Saga's younger brother. He was on good terms with the twelve Gold Saints when he was in the Sanctuary. Now that he needed help, she could only be lenient. Moreover, if Garen was severely punished, then Camus's disciple, Azak, would not be spared either. However, this would make Camus, Milo, and Glacier feel cold in their hearts. This was definitely not allowed. More importantly, if he didn't forgive her, Raoul, who was the middleman, would be suspicious…
Shazhi said calmly," Get up, Garen. I hope you can repent and fight for love and justice on earth again. The power of the Saint Seiya did not exist for personal gain.”His powerful words made Hoshi and the others, who had not been deeply involved in the world, excited. They wished they could find a dark evil force and die together with them. Even the Gold Saints had expressions of approval on their faces. It could be seen how successful Shazhi's speech was.
"Since the Goddess has forgiven Garen, I think Master Aizark should be lenient with his punishment, right?”Bing He asked the goddess excitedly. Back then, his senior brother had been taken away by the vortex to save him. If he could not save his senior brother…
" Back then, Azak was young and ignorant, which was why the Sea Realm took advantage of him. Besides," I looked at Garen, who had already stood up but was concerned about Azak's safety," the one who saved Azak was Garen. Since Garen has already been pardoned, please be merciful."”
When they saw Shaori nod, Bing He and Camus revealed a happy smile on their faces. Hoshi and the others were also happy for Bing He. "Raoul, why have you been observing Poseidon's palace? Is there something wrong?”The one who spoke was Mr. Mu. To be honest, ever since I led the peaceful evolution of the Holy Region, Mu, who had suffered the pain of losing his master, had always been very cold to me and my master. Although he didn't speak coldly, he also didn't have the intention of taking the initiative to turn hostility into friendship. I also understood that it was difficult for him to change his mind in a short period of time, so when he was present, I would usually try my best to use various methods to liven up the atmosphere so that he, a modest gentleman, would take the initiative to speak. Only then would we be able to communicate. After all, they would see each other every now and then. How could they not interact with each other?
"Hmm, did you encounter any resistance when you destroyed the Ocean Pillar, or did you find anything wrong?”I didn't answer Mr. Mu's question but asked everyone.
After seeing that everyone had indicated that there was nothing unusual, I silently pondered. "What's wrong, Raoul…"
"This is too strange." I raised my head and looked at everyone in front of me as I said," When the goddess led us through the Sea God's barrier, there was such a huge commotion. The people of the Sea Realm would have noticed it. It was fine to say that the sea generals had to perform their duties and could not leave their posts without permission. However, it was impossible for Neptune not to react. Instead of being defeated by the Sanctum, it would be better to gather all the Sea Generals in the temple and fight for victory. If we can destroy the Goddess's body in the human world, I'm afraid the entire Holy War will be won…"
I didn't continue, but everyone looked at Garen and Azak, who had been released. " Uh, my jurisdiction is rather remote, so these things..." Seeing that Azak did not know, everyone looked at Garen again.
"Actually, ever since Poseidon's attempt to kidnap the goddess in Northern Europe failed, his behavior has become strange.”Garen looked around and saw that everyone was listening to him attentively. He could not help but feel happy. He was most afraid that he would be ostracized when he returned to the Holy Region." He often hides in his palace and does not show his face. He no longer cares about the affairs of the Sea Realm and does not allow others to disturb him. Regarding this, we, the Sea Generals, have some complaints in private.”
"It seems that if I want to know the answer, I can only find it myself.”I let out a long sigh of relief and took the lead to explore the temple. Wandering in the corridors of the palace, that's right, it was indeed wandering, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything here is new and interesting to us. The Sea God's palace was not as simple as the Holy Region. The inner walls were filled with various decorations, such as oil paintings, beast heads, armor, swords, sculptures... Every single one of them would cause a stir in the archaeological world. Unfortunately, not everyone could pull out the hair from the tiger's mouth. Moreover, the other party was a god.
Although he was admiring the artwork around him, as a warrior, his five senses were constantly analyzing the environment for clues. However, the strange thing is that even until now, the master, the Sea Emperor, has not appeared to stop us. If Garen had not said that the Sea Emperor was indeed in the palace, I'm afraid we would have given up.
Unable to figure it out, we asked Garen to bring us to Neptune's dormitory, hoping to meet the main person of this trip there. However, we did not expect to encounter something that everyone was ashamed to talk about. This matter directly led to Poseidon's infamy in this Holy War and became the laughingstock of the Olympian gods.
