Saori's safe return is a blessing for everyone. After all, nothing is more important than Athena's safety. But with Le Yuan's return and Milo's report, all the Golden Saints who heard the news fell silent.
Holy wars throughout the ages have basically been battles between the Holy Realm and the Underworld, that is to say, a fight to the death between the Saints of Athena and the Hades of Hades.
But there are also special circumstances in holy wars. At that time, fighters from other gods will appear, and Poseidon, the King of the Sea, is another god besides Hades who wants to rule the world.
However, compared with Hades and his Pluto army, Poseidon and his sea warriors are undoubtedly easier to deal with. However, no matter how we face the threats of Poseidon and Hades at the same time, it will have a negative impact on the entire sanctuary. It is a huge challenge, and it may even be a crisis that is enough to destroy the sanctuary.
It's not that the Sanctuary has never dealt with Poseidon and Hades in history, but never has the experience been as severe as it is now. In the past holy wars, although Hades and Poseidon appeared, there was often a very long gap between the two appearances, which was able to restore a certain combat effectiveness to the sanctuary.
The situation of this holy war is unprecedentedly bad. According to the latest investigation, the 108 underworld warriors on one side have basically fully recovered and may launch an attack at any time. On the other side, there is the Poseidon who may awaken at any time. Poseidon, this is simply putting the sanctuary on the fire.
What should the sanctuary do? Concentrate your forces to kill Poseidon first
Even the Golden Saints hesitated at this moment. The Sanctuary cannot be mobilized. After all, as the foundation of the Saints, the Sanctuary must not be lost.
As for the possibility of taking over the sea without being able to exert all its efforts, this is something that the Sanctuary, who has not yet investigated the situation clearly, cannot estimate.
Unable to take the initiative, the Sanctuary ushered in a new round of alert period.
In this case, Le Yuan, as the most flexible person, was assigned the task of exploring the sea world. At the same time, as the Corvus Silver Saint who is best at inquiring about information in the Sanctuary, Samian monitors the courtyard of Julian, the King of the Sea, day and night.
Unfortunately, Julian had already announced his illness on the second day of the banquet and refused to see guests. Therefore, even Samian could not find out more information. Moreover, with his ability, he could only use crows to detect and approach the mansion by himself. Just looking for death.
Just like this, another month passed. Just when everyone was cherishing the hard-won peace every day, the sanctuary that was supposed to have clear skies was suddenly shrouded in terrifying black clouds, followed by heavy rain. Shrouded in the entire sanctuary, such weather changes are full of uncertainty, and have also made all the uneasy Saints treat it seriously.
As the master of the entire sanctuary, after Shazhi saw this completely untimely heavy rain, she mobilized her own small universe as Athena, and suddenly a small universe that was majestic in the hearts of all Saints but also as warm as the winter sun enveloped her. The entire sanctuary.
Athena's power filled half of the sanctuary, and the dark clouds dispersed wherever the small universe passed. However, when Saori wanted to continue to expel this power, she found it difficult to move forward any further.
There was a force strong enough to compete with Athena that stopped Shaori's actions, and the intensity of the rainstorm continued to increase. With this momentum, it was not impossible for the sanctuary to be flooded.
"Starlight Extinction!"
"Giant horn!"
"Plasma light speed punch!"
"Corpse Qi Underworld Wave!"
"The devil surrenders!"
…
At this moment when Shazhi's power could not completely overwhelm the opponent, the nine golden saints guarding the sanctuary used their own power at almost the same time, blasting into the black rain clouds in the sky.
The power of the nine Golden Saints joining together is so powerful. Even if they don't use the taboo small universe strategy of Athena Exclamation, this combination alone is enough to show that they value their enemies.
Who else but Poseidon, the King of the Sea, could cause such a heavy rain in the Sanctuary, a place that had been run by Athena for countless years, and at the same time be able to fight against Athena's small universe.
Even though the Golden Saints are very arrogant, they still have to go all out in the face of God.
The cooperation of the Golden Saints was like a blow from the sun, and the golden light roared towards the sky. This kind of power made the other Saints in the Sanctuary feel what it meant to be powerful.
However, when such an attack rushed into the clouds, it seemed as if there was no follow-up. The black clouds covering the sanctuary did not disappear with this attack, and the rain did not decrease as a result.
Ding-
A bolt of thunder suddenly fell, falling straight in front of Aries, the first palace of the zodiac. The moment the thunder fell, Mu's voice was heard in Aries.
"Crystal Wall!"
The crystal wall is a wall of mental power that blocks the attacks of countless enemies for Aries. It is also a move that Aries Golden Saints in the past will surely master.
It is said that the crystal wall can withstand and reflect the attacks of all saints, but it is such an unmatched defense for ordinary people, but it is as fragile as glass after encountering the lightning that fell from the sky.
Qiangdang—
The defense of the crystal wall shattered in response, and then the entire Aries Palace was completely destroyed under such an attack. Even Mu, the palace guard, could only barely protect himself under such an attack.
"enough!"
A voice filled with anger resounded throughout the entire sanctuary. Although this voice was not loud, it seemed to be ringing in everyone's ears, with a deafening feeling.
The owner of the voice was a girl under the age of 18, and everyone in the sanctuary understood that it was the voice of their goddess Athena. A year after entering the sanctuary, no one has yet felt the deep anger from this good-tempered goddess. This may be the first time she has lost her temper.
And with the appearance of this voice, the warm and tolerant little universe belonging to Saori showed a very aggressive side. No matter how kind a person is, there will be an angry day, not to mention Athena is still in war. Goddess.
And after this sound, the heavy rain that continued to fall in the sky suddenly stopped as if someone had turned off the faucet. Everyone looked at this scene in shock, as if they didn't understand why it stopped suddenly.
At this moment, all the Golden Saints suddenly turned their heads and looked at the top of the Twelve Palaces, where a strange and huge small universe suddenly appeared. The owner of that power was definitely the mastermind of this invasion of the Holy Domain. —Poseidon.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to cross the twelve palaces and reach the top. After all, Athena is one of the twelve gods of Olympus, and even other gods who are also the main gods cannot break through like this, but It would be different if it were Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
The three of them are in charge of the sky, the sea and the underworld respectively. They can be said to be the top existences among the Greek gods. Therefore, relying on their divine power is not completely impossible to break through the boundaries of the holy realm.
However, despite the breakthrough, Poseidon could only reach Saori alone.
"Julian, are you finally awake?"
Saori was not surprised, or in other words, she had anticipated this situation when Poseidon enveloped the sanctuary with power for the first time.
"Haha... Miss Saori, no, I should call you Athena..." Julian's temperament has changed. Compared with the aristocratic temperament cultivated by the previous ship king family, the current Poseidon is more noble than any royal family. The noble temperament of a king cannot be obtained through cultivation. "As the king of the sea, I now invite you again. Are you willing to share the earth with me and become my Poseidon's wife? You and I join hands, Then there is no need to worry about Hades’s Pluto army!”
Well, Poseidon has inherited the characteristics of the Greek god system. This is because he went to the sanctuary alone. This is just like Saori's proposal.
Faced with such a request, Shazhi didn't even hesitate at all. She had only one answer to Poseidon from beginning to end: "I refuse!"
Crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.
"Why? Do you think this world is a more suitable partner for you than me? Athena!"
As the anger on Poseidon's face became more and more intense, the black clouds in the sky that had calmed down once again exploded with lightning and thunder. The black clouds pressed over the city as if all the water in the world was going to flood the entire sanctuary.
"Poseidon... let's call you Julian." Looking at Poseidon with the possessive desire to conquer everything, Shazhi looked at the twelve palaces below and said, "I am different from you. I love this earth. Although humans are not as powerful as gods, they still have a place that is completely different from gods. That place attracts me... "
"Is this why you have protected humanity for generations, even if your own Saint betrayed you?"
Whether it's Hades or Poseidon, their fighters are basically the same. Hades's Hades will never die at all, while Poseidon is reincarnated by the same person every time, and their loyalty has long been locked, which is completely different from Athena who leads different people every time.
"I do! God's world is too cruel, and we are not the real Athena and Poseidon. As reincarnations, we also had our own lives before awakening, so I cannot accept your love!"
"Then it's not up to you!"
Poseidon is worthy of being the leader of pirates. When he saw that he could not be convinced, he stepped forward and wanted to take Saori away by force. But at this time, there was only Shun from Andromeda next to Saori.
