Chapter 354: Chapter 178: Frantic Slaughter, Alex’s Plan! (Part 2)

"What is wrong with you? Have you gone mad?"

Alex slowly turned his head, revealing a cold sneer.

"I almost forgot about you, my good student. You can go to hell too!"

Squelch!

Transforming his hand into a blade, Alex pierced straight through Hyoga’s chest. A large amount of blood spilled from the corners of Hyoga’s mouth, his consciousness gradually blurring...

"T-Teacher!"

Alex said flatly,

"In order to restore a bright and clear sky to the earth, Hyoga, you must go!"

Alex pushed a single finger against Hyoga’s forehead, and Hyoga’s body crashed heavily to the ground!

Everything plunged into an endless, dead silence!

...

At the eternal and unchanging Yomotsu Hirasaka in the Underworld, several newly arrived souls looked at each other in disbelief.

Dohko clenched his fists tightly, watching helplessly as the many Gold Saints appeared one after another: Saga, Kanon, Aphrodite, Shura, Camus, Aiolia... Aldebaran, Mu!

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth, his eyes revealing deep regret.

"Damn it, I shouldn’t have trusted him. I saw early on that he had ulterior motives, but I never imagined he would be so utterly deranged as to kill every single Gold Saint!"

Until the very end, when even the five Bronze Saints arrived on the path to the Underworld.

Dohko’s tightly clenched fists finally loosened, the fighting spirit in his eyes gradually dissipating.

No matter what, the Sanctuary had already lost this Holy War, defeated at the hands of their own people...

Just when everyone was in complete despair...

A warm, sacred, and incredibly pure—albeit faint—golden Cosmo radiance quietly pierced through the dead aura of the Underworld like the first ray of dawn in the darkness, lighting up in the center of the Saints!

Dohko and the others instantly widened their eyes. Such a familiar feeling!

"This... this is!"

Before Dohko and the others could react, their souls gradually became ethereal. An attractive force was about to pull them back to their bodies.

"Huh? What is happening now?"

The successive unexpected events and shocks had long left the hearts of the Saints completely numb!

At the peak of the sacred mountain, the Goddess’s divine blood, along with her remains, had all been completely frozen by Alex.

Beside the Goddess, streaks of golden light enveloped the corpses of the Gold Saints. Following that, a golden hourglass appeared, and the sands of time began to flow backward!

The bodies of the Gold Saints floated up from the ground of their own accord!

Alex stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unruffled, but in reality, his heart was bleeding!

He had taken a massive loss. Using the Time Hourglass on these dozen or so guys all at once had cost him over ten million credit points.

Fortunately, he had a bountiful harvest of the Goddess’s divine blood, which would help recoup some of the losses!

As the Gold Saints and the five core Bronze Saints stood up from the ground, everyone revealed expressions of disbelief and shock. Alex turned around and said flatly,

"How does it feel to return from the dead? You all should have awakened the Eighth Sense by now. If not, I can send you back down to comprehend it one more time!"

At some point, Saga had reverted to his black-haired state. Clenching his fists and feeling the powerful Cosmo within his body that had broken through to the Eighth Sense, he couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

"Alex, you are still as ruthless as ever, actually capable of dealing lethal blows to your own colleagues!"

"Speak up. What exactly is your plan?"

"And what in the world is going on with the Goddess?"

Alex chuckled lightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"So now, you don’t think I betrayed the Goddess?"

"I have led the Sanctuary for over a decade. Have I ever suffered a single defeat?"

The Gold Saints’ faces flushed red, feeling anxious and unable to speak.

Hyoga was the most emotional. With tears welling up in his eyes, he wiped them away and choked out,

"I knew it! Teacher wouldn’t be so heartless towards me!"

"So, teacher, what is the exact purpose of making such a huge commotion?"

Alex turned his back and gazed out at the earth that had plunged completely into darkness, saying flatly,

"My plan is very simple. It is to return peace to the human realm—an eternal peace!"
