Chapter 302: Chapter 152: Hades’s Fury, a Six-Thousand-Year Opportunity! (Part 2)

"Go and do it, Hypnos, Thanatos!"

"Yes!"

The Gods of Sleep and Death, sensing Hades’s unyielding will of destruction, hesitated no longer. Their figures rapidly retreated as if melting into the shadows.

Inside the temple, only the statue of Hades remained, burning fiercely amidst the blue underworld flames, about to drag the entire earth into eternal darkness.

Meanwhile, at Star Hill in the Sanctuary...

The current Pope, Saga, draped in a white robe, had starlight brushing against his long blue hair.

He was gazing at the night sky. Under the starlight, his handsome face appeared calm and focused, his eyes reflecting the operational trajectories of the vast cosmos.

This was the star-gazing technique that a Pope had to master.

The stars filling the sky originally followed their own paths, but the points of light symbolizing the nine planets were gradually drawing closer in their orbits, about to form a perfectly straight axis!

Saga’s expression gradually became incredibly grave.

"The alignment of the nine planets..."

Saga uttered this phrase in a low voice—a term regarded as an omen of great disaster in the Sanctuary’s archives.

As the Pope, he understood better than anyone what this meant.

The archives recorded it with absolute clarity.

On the day the nine planets align, the earth will plunge into eternal darkness. Only by sealing Hades can this terrifying doomsday be ended.

"Time... is running out!"

Saga rapidly calculated the exact moment the star trajectories would intersect, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Without a shred of hesitation, Saga left Star Hill and headed toward the temple where the Goddess Athena resided.

At this moment, Saori Kido, the human incarnation of Athena, the Goddess of War and Wisdom, was standing before the temple window, gazing at the tranquil Sanctuary.

Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed; it seemed she was still digesting the consequences of the battle that resulted in the disappearance of Hades Castle and the Underworld King’s retreat.

Before Alex’s departure, his warnings about the threat of the Olympian Gods and the Greatest Eclipse pressed down on her heart like a massive boulder.

The progression of the Holy War seemed to have completely escaped her control, leaving Athena feeling quite helpless inwardly.

"Lady Athena, Saga requests an audience!"

Saga’s steady voice echoed from outside the hall.

Saori Kido’s expression became indifferent and calm once again.

"Come in, Saga."

Saga’s tall figure appeared at the entrance of the Goddess’s Palace. It was already late at night; even as the Pope, it was inappropriate for him to enter the inner sanctum of the Goddess’s Palace.

He knelt on one knee. Saori Kido turned around, her clear gaze landing on Saga’s face, keenly capturing that deeply hidden trace of anxiety.

"Saga, what is so urgent?"

Saga lifted his head, looking straight into Saori Kido’s luminous eyes.

"Reporting to Lady Athena! I have observed the stars tonight, and the omen of the alignment of the nine planets has already appeared! The trajectories of the stars are undergoing a drastic change, and the nine planets are converging into a line with irreversible momentum. These signs perfectly match the precursor to Hades initiating the Greatest Eclipse, as recorded in the archives!"

"How much time is left?"

Athena’s pupils contracted slightly, and her grip on her staff tightened abruptly!

The Greatest Eclipse! Hades’s most terrifying world-ending method! An astronomical spectacle that only occurs once every six thousand years. The warning Alex gave before he left instantly flashed through her mind.

"Hades is about to initiate the Greatest Eclipse!"

It was finally coming after all. Once the Greatest Eclipse appeared, she had to lead the Saints to invade the Underworld. The Underworld was vast, possessing endless territories and numerous perilous lands; even she had to handle it with caution.

"According to the calculations of the star trajectories, there are less than seven days remaining until the nine planets completely align and trigger the Greatest Eclipse!"

Seven days...

Athena let out a soft breath. The Greatest Eclipse was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the Sanctuary’s head.

The final Holy War that would determine the fate of the earth and the survival of all things was imminent.

"The Greatest Eclipse... the final Holy War..." Athena’s voice carried a sense of absolute resolve.

"Pass down the order: all Saints are to make preparations! We must stop Hades at all costs!"

"At the same time, send someone to inform Poseidon and request his assistance. Once the Greatest Eclipse is initiated, even his divine kingdom will fall into ruin!"

"Yes, Lady Athena!"

Saori Kido clasped her hands over her chest, silently calling out to Alex.

"Alex, come back to the Sanctuary... I need you..."
