Chapter 64: Chapter 32: Healing Saga, The Secret of the Eighth Sense! (Part 2)

"Alex, you’ve arrived?"

The moment he stepped through the temple doors, Alex felt a majestic Cosmo wash over him. This was absolutely not Shion’s power; the intensity of the Cosmo was a hundred times greater than usual.

A golden, divine radiance flooded the great hall like seawater. Even the air itself carried a divine, oppressive weight.

Alex could even vaguely see the phantom projection of an olive branch floating within the light—the symbol of Athena.

The golden Cosmo completely engulfed Alex. His own Cosmo was saturated by it, showing a faint tendency of being assimilated...

This is... Alex snapped fully awake.

The Divinity within his body acted like a solid reef on the ocean shore, stubbornly protecting his true soul.

Shion slowly rose from the Pope’s throne, his white robes billowing in the golden light. The eyes beneath his mask were as deep as an abyss.

"How is Saga?"

Alex took a half-step back and bowed slightly.

"I just returned from the Gemini Temple. I administered some basic first aid to Saga. His life should no longer be in danger."

Shion’s gaze fell upon him, carrying a scrutinizing weight.

"What exactly were your considerations in allowing Saga to return to the Sanctuary?"

Here it comes. Alex knew that the one asking this question right now was highly likely the Goddess Athena behind Shion!

The Holy War, which cycled once every 243 years, was rapidly approaching. Even Athena wouldn’t want to easily discard the combat power of Gemini Saga.

However, Saga’s dual personality also made Athena deeply apprehensive.

Alex had already prepared his script for this exact scenario.

"Your Holiness, the strength of the Hydra far exceeded my expectations." Alex spoke slowly, his tone steady. "It would have been absolutely impossible to slay it on my own. It was only because Saga risked his life to assist me that we were able to eradicate this threat."

He paused, adding weight to his words.

"More importantly, the resurrection of the Hydra was absolutely no accident. To summon back an ancient monster sealed by Hercules... I’m afraid only the Father of All Monsters, Typhon, possesses such a capability."

Shion placed his hands behind his back, muttering to himself.

"You believe it is Typhon? Following your logic, could he have joined forces with Hades? But that makes no sense. He was sealed in the Pitch-Black Sea back then; it should be completely impossible for him to escape..."

Alex frowned slightly.

"Judging solely from this incident, I cannot make an absolute judgment yet. However, I believe that even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, we must guard against it. The Holy War is imminent; we must unite all possible combat strength!"

Hearing this, Shion nodded slightly.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable. You handled the matter with Saga exceptionally well. Regarding his return to the Sanctuary, your contribution is paramount!"

Alex let out an inward sigh of relief, knowing he had passed Athena’s test for the time being. He kept his head bowed.

"Guarding the earth and protecting humanity is my duty."

"You have worked hard. Go and rest. Ah, regarding the Sagittarius Cloth, I have dispatched another batch of Silver Saints to assist in the investigation. I will arrange the subsequent matters; you need not concern yourself with it any further."

Alex sneered inwardly. ’Does Athena think the five core Bronze Saints are leveling up too slowly?’

Sending another batch of Silver Saints to their deaths? But then again, once the Holy War truly began, aside from a select few Silver Saints, the rest would indeed be of little use in the grand scheme of things.

If the Silver Saints all died off, what did it matter to him?

His most urgent priority was to rapidly elevate his own strength and close the gap between himself and the gods as quickly as possible—until he broke through the Seventh Sense and advanced to the Eighth Sense.

Humans are born with five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch!

Beyond these, some individuals are born with a Sixth Sense. In other worlds, they might be called espers, metahumans, or Newtypes...

The specific manifestations of the Sixth Sense include elemental manipulation, precognition, atomic control, flight, telekinesis, mind-reading, illusions, mind control, and hyper-intuition.

Almost all individuals with superpowers are people with an exceptionally strong Sixth Sense.

Above the Sixth Sense, there exists an even higher perception: the Seventh Sense. The Seventh Sense is the source of life that transcends all six senses.

Those who awaken the Seventh Sense can transform themselves into a miniature universe—a Cosmo. By burning their very being, they can instantaneously erupt with boundless power!

All Gold Saints are superhumans who have awakened their Seventh Sense. Only by awakening the Seventh Sense does one qualify to don a Gold Cloth.

As for the Eighth Sense, it is the ultimate power that stands above the Seventh Sense, also known as the Alaya Vijnana!
