Chapter 353: Chapter 178: Frantic Slaughter, Alex’s Plan! (Part 1)

At the peak of the sacred mountain, the moment Athena’s headless body crashed to the ground, the divine shield enveloping the Sanctuary receded like the tide.

The golden membrane of light gradually dissipated into the air. The cold, gloomy aura of the Underworld that had been permeating the horizon completely shrouded the sacred mountain with the Goddess’s demise. A piercing cold wind blew past, and the world was thoroughly plunged into darkness.

The current generation of Gold Saints finally recovered from their extreme shock.

Grief, indignation, and despair erupted in their chests like volcanoes, while a few others fell into a terrifyingly cold silence.

Within this silence brewed the world-destroying flames of revenge.

An aura of death firmly locked onto Shion, Alex, and all the former Gold Saints!

Facing this monstrous anger, Shion and the others appeared unusually calm, even carrying a strange sense of relief and exhaustion.

Dohko’s eyes were incomparably cold. Without saying a word, he silently distributed the golden weapons of the Libra Cloth to everyone.

As the Cosmos of the current Gold Saints burned fiercely, expressions of absolute resolve appeared on their faces. It was clear they were going to fight Alex to the death!

Alex took a few steps forward, intercepting the current Gold Saints, and bowed to Shion and the former Gold Saints.

"Teacher Shion, seniors, you have worked hard. Let us proceed with the next step of the plan!"

Shion and the others returned Alex’s bow.

"We are already dead, after all. We leave what comes next in your hands!"

Alex nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, teacher. Humanity will surely triumph!"

Holding Athena’s head in his hands, Shion’s figure gradually dissipated. He was likely returning to the Underworld to report his mission.

Alex turned around. Facing the monstrous fury of the Gold Saints led by Dohko, he said flatly,

"Everyone, rather than wasting your strength and stamina for revenge here, it would be better to unleash it in the Underworld!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Alex’s words, a trace of hope appeared in the hearts of the Gold Saints. Could it be that all of this was Alex’s plan?

But why were they all kept in the dark about this plan?

Before everyone could react, Alex said indifferently,

"The second step of the plan: all of you can go to hell!"

Purple lightning overflowed from Alex’s eyes!

Boom!

Peerlessly powerful purple thunderbolts descended from the sky!

Even with the Gold Cloths neutralizing most of the damage, the many Gold Saints who were already exhausted from battle fell to the ground one after another under the attack of this supreme lightning power, faint trails of smoke rising from their bodies!

Alex walked over to Dohko, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up. Then, applying slight pressure with one hand, a crisp crack rang out.

Dohko’s head tilted at an unnatural angle.

Shiryu’s eyes widened so hard they nearly tore. Dragging his injured body, he charged over, roaring hoarsely with a voice full of despair and grief.

"Ma... Master!"

Squelch!

Shiryu’s body was pierced cleanly through by Alex’s punch...

Saga and Kanon, the two Gemini Saints, stood up. Their bodies trembling violently, they used all their remaining strength to unleash the Galaxian Explosion!

But before the destructive energy could even take form, it was sealed on the spot by Alex’s Absolute Zero.

Alex chuckled and shook his head.

"Saga, do you not believe me either?"

Then, a flash of understanding passed through Alex’s eyes.

"Oh, it is the Blue Saga right now. No wonder!"

Two streaks of purple lightning shot out like venomous snakes, accurately piercing through the hearts of Saga and Kanon.

Saga and Kanon’s bodies stiffened. The light in their eyes rapidly dimmed, and both collapsed to the ground, their life force completely cut off.

Next, Alex sneered as he walked toward the others.

Lightning and freezing air erupted alternately. Shura, Milo, Aiolia, Aphrodite... one Gold Saint after another perished.

Having done all this, his figure transformed into a streak of golden light and arrived at the Aries Temple. Without hesitation, he ended the life of the unconscious Mu. Not a single Gold Saint could be left alive; it had to be done thoroughly.

"S-stop! Teacher!"

Hyoga struggled to his feet. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

The Alex who had returned this time was so powerful that Hyoga hardly dared to recognize him. He was like a demon—first helping Shion assassinate Athena, and then killing all the Gold Saints one after another!
