Chapter 91 - 46: Alex’s Persistence, The Candidate for Pope! (Part 1)

Chapter 91: Chapter 46: Alex’s Persistence, The Candidate for Pope! (Part 1)

Alex gave a cold chuckle.

"I can understand necessary sacrifices, but are we Gold Saints merely dispensable pawns?"

"And how do you explain Aiolos’s death?"

Athena turned around, her golden eyes fixed on Alex.

"Aiolos’s passing was never my intention. When my reincarnation of this generation was just born, I sensed a dark power lurking within the Sanctuary."

"However, I could not pinpoint exactly where this evil force originated. To ensure my reincarnation could grow up safely, I had no choice but to arrange for her to leave the Sanctuary first."

"My original plan was for Aiolos to take my reincarnation and hide in the Kido household. Then, once I came of age, I would return to the Sanctuary with him. But that night, someone launched an attack against us."

"To protect me, Aiolos suffered grievous injuries and ultimately met a tragic end..."

Alex sneered.

"But how come I heard from Shion that sending people to hunt down Aiolos wasn’t his intention?"

Athena nodded slightly.

"After my reincarnation escaped the Sanctuary, I sensed impending danger and instructed Shion to dispatch three Saints to protect her. But before they could arrive, it was already too late to salvage the situation. You can verify this matter with Shion later..."

"There’s no need!" Alex said coldly.

Shion had long been completely controlled by Athena. The information coming from his mouth would absolutely not be the truth of what happened back then.

As for the three Gold Saints who participated in the pursuit back then, Alex had questioned them before.

The three of them had almost entirely forgotten what happened that night!

The events of that year were practically untraceable. All the personnel involved were either suffering from amnesia or under mind control...

All clues had been deliberately erased.

Athena looked up at the firmament.

"Whether you believe it or not, all of this was an accident!"

She turned back to look at Alex.

"Alex, I have painstakingly orchestrated this Holy War for hundreds of years. There is a great hope to completely end this endless cycle of reincarnation, and I hope you can help me!"

"Your strength is immense. Although I do not know how you managed to reach this level, in this Holy War, humanity needs your power!"

Athena extended her right hand, her gaze earnest.

"Come, Alex. Become my Pope. I will grant you the greatest freedom and respect. Thousands of years from now, your name will be extolled by the world alongside mine!"

Alex sneered inwardly.

Alex sank his consciousness into the Underworld Ring and issued a command to Sagitta Ptolemy!

"It’s time!"

Meanwhile, amidst the jagged rocks of Death Queen Island, the five Bronze Saints were panting heavily. They were covered in wounds, yet their eyes shone brightly.

Having just slain all their pursuers, they had finally survived!

Saori Kido watched them from the side, a gratified smile in her eyes. She remained completely oblivious to Sagitta Ptolemy, who had already drawn his bowstring taut in the shadows in the distance.

A golden arrow was nocked on his silver bow, emitting a lethal gleam.

Receiving the command, Ptolemy felt a massive surge of relief. Finally. Over these past few days, he had watched the five Bronze Saints grow increasingly powerful.

They could already easily kill Silver Saints, their leveling speed comparable to using cheats.

He had long had enough of these days.

Ptolemy gently relaxed his fingers!

The golden arrow pierced the sky, carrying a deadly, high-pitched whistle as it aimed straight for Saori Kido’s left breast!

"Miss Saori!"

Seiya, Shiryu, and the others sensed the danger and lunged toward Saori, but it was already too late.

Thwack!

The moment blood splattered, Saori Kido looked down in shock at the golden arrow embedded in her chest. Her consciousness gradually blurred amidst the agonizing pain.

Back inside the Pope’s Hall, Athena sensed the critical condition of her reincarnation, Saori Kido.

Her eyes widened abruptly, and a terrifying, oppressive aura erupted from her golden eyes.

"What have you done?!"
