"What if I say no?" Nangong Chenxue said calmly as he looked at the aggressive Jaga. He hated this kind of pretentious person the most in his life.
"Then, I can only let you stay!”Zha Jia didn't say anything. He raised his fist and rushed towards Nangong Chenxue.
Unfortunately, despite his hatred, Nangong Chenxue's face turned extremely shocked when he saw the approaching bastard. He almost couldn't see his figure clearly!
Bang! The punch landed squarely on Nangong Chenxue's body. Her black pupils contracted rapidly, and in the next second, she flew backward like a broken sack. Nangong Chenxue was secretly shocked. She never thought that this arrogant guy in front of her would be so strong. As expected, a guy who could do well in the Holy Region was not simple!
Nangong Chenxue stood up with difficulty and looked at Zajia with a serious expression. The information about the Silver Saint Seiya that Xuan Er had told him appeared in her mind. Below the most powerful Gold Saints was the Silver Saints. Since the last Holy War, the Gold Saint had never appeared again. A while ago, two Gold Saints appeared, but one died in the battle with Eris, the Goddess of War, and the other disappeared when the Pope sent him to track Eris. As a Silver Saint of Orion, Jaga's strength was comparable to the two Gold Saints who had just advanced. In the current situation where there was no more gold, he had already been given the reputation of the "number one expert of the Holy Region". One could imagine the pressure Nangong Chenxue was under when she was fighting against the strongest Saint Seiya in the Holy Region.
"Haha, a weak fellow actually dares to invade the Holy Region. Today, you won't be able to return!”Zha Jia's face turned ferocious as he dashed towards Nangong Chenxue again.
Instinctively, in order to resist Zha Jia's terrifying speed, Nangong Chenxue ignited her small universe without hesitation. She raised her hands above her head and released a golden light that was surging with aura towards the rapidly approaching blurry figure.
"Brilliant Radiance!"
"Megaton Impact!" Feeling the intense golden light coming at him, Zaga did not panic. He hurriedly curled up his body that was moving at the speed of sound and spun at high speed to disperse the light that was coming at him.
He was actually unscathed? What a powerful fellow. Nangong Chenxue frowned as she looked at Zaga, who had landed on the ground calmly. Apart from his messy hair, there was no sign of injury on his body.
"Then, we can only do this!" Nangong Chenxue silently upgraded her Little Cosmos and prepared to summon the Altar Seat Saint Robe. Zha Jia stared at Nangong Chenxue, but he was not in a hurry to attack. It was as if he was waiting for Nangong Chenxue to finish summoning him.
"Stop!" A coarse and wretched baritone voice was heard from afar. Half a minute later, a short, fat man with a wretched appearance walked over and said embarrassedly," Lord Jaga, private fights are forbidden between Saint Seiyas. You should know this too, right?!"”
"What? He's also a Saint Seiya?”Jaga's words were filled with surprise. She had clearly never seen him before. Could it be that he had just arrived while she was out on a mission?
"Yes, he is the Silver Saint who just arrived in the Holy Region, Lord Nangong Chenxue.”Through Xuan 'er and Ling' er, Shi Ang had already gotten a good grasp of Nangong Chenxue's life story. It wasn't strange that the Chief of Staff knew his name and identity.
"He's actually the Saint Seiya of the Altar!”Shocked, Jaga's face was filled with disbelief. As the current number one expert in the Sanctuary and the former number one in Silver, Zaga naturally knew a lot about the Silver Saints. He also heard a little about the Altar Seat Silver Holy Garment that had disappeared since the last Holy War. As an existence assisting the Pope, the Altar Saint Seiya had been performing his duties as a Shadow Dancer. The material of the Altar Saint Garment was also far superior to the other silver Saint Garments. Although there was still a certain gap between it and the gold Saint Garment, it was definitely the most powerful existence among the silver Saint Garments. Even the Saint Garments of Orion and Lyra could not compare. " What a waste!" He gritted his teeth and smiled contemptuously." Such a weak little universe. Even if he had the Altar Seat Saint Robe, it would be a waste!"”After saying that, he ignored Nangong Chenxue's angry gaze and turned to leave.
"Damn it!" Nangong Chenxue was burning with anger. This was the first time someone had looked down on her, and she was extremely unhappy.
"Hahahaha!" The wretched laughter rang out again." Lord Nangong, I wonder why you would have a conflict with Lord Jaga at the side of the arena so early in the morning?”
"This…I was doing my morning exercise and was bumped into by him. He wanted to find fault with me, so in order to protect myself, we naturally had a conflict.”Although Nangong Chenxue hated the vulgar man in front of her, she was in the wrong first, so she could only stutter. He did not want to be caught by such a despicable person.
"Oh, really? So you have a hobby of bringing maids along for your morning exercise. How special!”The chief of staff smiled sinisterly.
Nangong Chenxue was shocked, but she quickly regained her composure. "Hmph, I have such a hobby. What do you have to do with it?”Suppressing his anger, he said disdainfully, Since you think I'm Lord Silver, why should I be afraid of you?
"Hahahaha, Nangong Chenxue, don't be angry. Everyone knows who's right and who's wrong. I'm only here to deliver a message.”
"What message?"
"His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff has asked me to bring Lord Nangong to him, immediately.”
"What about my two maids?"
"Don't worry, they're already one step ahead of you, waiting in the Pope's Hall.”
"Alright, I'll go with you." Nangong Chenxue smoothed out the frown on his face and followed the Chief of Staff to the Twelve Zodiacs.
It was time to meet the Pope!
After passing through the ancient Twelve Palaces, what came into view was a palace that was similar to the one in front, except that there was an additional solemn bronze door. A majestic aura came from behind the door, showing the nobility of the Pope.
"Come in!" Accompanied by a deep and old voice, the bronze door that was more than three meters tall slowly opened.
"All of you can leave." Shion's old voice was filled with dignity.
After the huge bronze door was closed, only Nangong Chenxue and the Pope were left in the huge Pope's Hall, except for the Pope's throne, a red carpet, and a few thick marble pillars that were carved with patterns.
"You left the Holy Region without my permission and even brought two maids with you. Do you know your mistake?”Shion slowly took off his mask and spoke first.
"Esteemed Pope, I'm not a Saint Seiya to begin with, and I'm definitely not a member of your Sanctuary. I don't think I need to abide by the rules you've set!”Nangong Chenxue lowered her head and paused for a moment. Then, she said very respectfully," As for the two maids, since I've just arrived in this place, I'm not familiar with this place. Therefore, I can only force them to lead the way." I ask the Supreme Pontiff to stand on the high platform. I will bear all the responsibility.”
"Speaking of which, you're really considerate of others! Alright, since you've put it that way, I won't hold them accountable.”Shi Ang slowly walked over, and an invisible pressure pressed down on Nangong Chenxue.
Nangong Chenxue adjusted her suppressed emotions and maintained her respectful expression." I believe Your Holiness already knows why I came to the Holy Region, right?" she said.”
"Yes, Tiger Cub has already told me. However, I can't tell you the answer unless you agree to a request of mine.”Shiang changed the topic and said in a drawn-out voice.
"Speak."
"Become a Saint Seiya." Shion stated his conditions.
Nangong Chenxue instantly felt her body lighten, and the invisible pressure was mostly gone. But he still maintained his rationality and asked,"Why?”
" That's because you haven't faced their strength alone. I don't want to see a righteous young man being killed by evil forces." After becoming a Saint Seiya, you will be able to obtain even greater strength. Under the leadership of the goddess Athena, they would destroy them in one fell swoop.”
Nangong Chenxue felt uneasy when she saw Shi Ang smiling so innocently. " I see." Nangong Chenxue lowered her head and pretended to be deep in thought for a while. Then, she said calmly," Then, Your Holiness the Pope, can you tell me in detail what kind of people are the Saint Seiyas that you speak of?"”
Shi Ang saw that he was so respectful and thought that his goal was about to be achieved. He smiled and said,"Alright then!"”
" One day in the Mythological Era, after the God of Gods Zeus entrusted the land to Athena, the Goddess of War and Wisdom, he disappeared into the other side of the Void. After learning that Zeus had disappeared, Bo Saidong wanted to seize the throne of the Earth's Master God from Athena and began preparing for battle. He gathered strong warriors from the Seven Seas, and later named them Sea Warriors. Bo Saidong established the underwater kingdom-Atlantis, but he also coveted the land.
Ever since Bo Saidong invaded the land, these 'Will of the Gods' Awakened ones had started a war. In order to maintain the peace of the earth, for love and justice, the goddess Athena descended to the earth and fought against the gods for the sake of mankind. Some powerful youths appeared among the humans. They gathered around the goddess Athena and fought with the goddess against the evil forces that tried to touch the earth.
Since Athena hated weapons, the teenagers only fought with their own bodies. However, under Bo Saidong's fierce attacks, the corpses of many well-known young warriors lay on the battlefield. Athena, who was saddened by the deaths of the teenagers, found the alchemists of Mu Continent. With the 88 constellations shining in the sky as the blueprint and silver star sand as the raw material, they made the constellations 'holy clothes. The teenagers put on the holy clothes given by Athena and quickly drove Poseidon and his Sea Warriors back to the bottom of the sea. Atlantis also sank in the battle. In the end, the first Holy War ended with Athena's victory.
From then on, people called these teenagers " Saints of Athena." This is the origin of the Saint Seiya."
After listening to Shi Ang's narration, Nangong Chenxue lowered her head and fell into deep thought. Becoming a Saint Seiya meant that he had to work for Athena! Although it sounded like Athena was on the side of mankind, a kind god who protected world peace, this could not be a condition to restrict his personal freedom. It seems that the Chinese did not have such an advanced thinking back then…Forget it, I don't care, just find a reason!
"Your Holiness, although I promised Tiger Cub that I would fight for justice, and I also promised that I would do so. However, if you want me to be the holy warrior of Athena, I can't do it.”Nangong Chenxue looked into Shi Ang's eyes seriously and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Why?" Shi Ang, who thought that Nangong Chenxue wouldn't reject him, was shocked.
"Because I don't want to submit to anyone.”Except for her. Nangong Chenxue added in her heart.
