"Eligor, according to the intelligence you brought back. The Sanctuary is now at war with both the Spectre Army and the Pallasites. According to the alliance treaty, this is the best time for us to take action and support our ally." In an unknown ancient castle deep in the mountains, Lucifer sat on his throne and said after listening to the report of his subordinate, the Seima Tenshi (Holy Magic Angel).
"My Lord... please forgive my bluntness. I feel this is not the best time for us to take action." Astaroth, one of the Seima Tenshi (Cherubim), said.
"Speak your mind." Lucifer glanced at Astaroth kneeling before him and spoke slowly.
"Supporting the Sanctuary brings us no benefits, but instead risks exposing us to the sight of the gods. This year, we have maintained a non-aggression pact with the Sanctuary, which is already giving enough face to that Lord..."
"So what do you think?" Lucifer neither opposed nor agreed but continued to ask. "Your subordinate believes the best course of action is to watch and wait." After speaking, Astaroth looked somewhat uneasily at Lucifer on the throne.
"Do you all think so too?" Lucifer glanced at the remaining Seima Tenshi standing beside him and asked.
The group of Seima Tenshi nodded in agreement.
"No, you are wrong. It is easy to add flowers to brocade, but hard to send charcoal in snowy weather. If we help the Sanctuary at this time, then when we are in big trouble in the future, the Sanctuary will definitely help us with all its strength." Lucifer shook his head and said, his opening words causing the expressions of the Seima Tenshi to change.
"Moreover, you have not witnessed that guy's power, so you won't understand. If we get that guy's help, it is not impossible to regain the Heavens."
The group of Seima Tenshi looked at each other upon hearing this, then immediately said, "We obey our King's command."
"Pegasus Meteor Fist!" "Rozan Sho Ryu Ha!" "Diamond Dust!" "Nebula Chain!"
With the shouting of four moves, the Pallasite side was thrown into chaos again.
Countless Pallasite foot soldiers fell under the iron fists of the "Bronze Five".
After a year of rigorous training by the Gold Saints, the "Bronze Five" had basically stabilized at the high level of the Seventh Sense. If they exploded, their strength was immeasurable.
It has to be said that as the children of destiny in the Saint Seiya world, their potential was even more heaven-defying than the twenty-five Gold Saints (two from each generation of Gemini, plus one from two generations of Libra, totaling twenty-five).
Due to Hades breaking the seal and the Spectres reappearing, all the previous generation Gold Saints went to specifically prevent surprise attacks from the Spectres. They also took away some Silver-level experts, such as the Silver Three Judges, Orion Jager, Lizard Misty, and Perseus Algol, as well as the Sanctuary twin stars Bud and Ohko.
The reason was that for some unknown reason, the overall level of the Spectres had greatly increased by several notches. Among the Spectres appearing this time, there were many experts of Gold level and above. In terms of threat level alone, they were above the Pallasites.
This led to a shortage of high-end combat power on the Sanctuary side against the Pallasites, so much so that the "Bronze Five" have now become the leading figures on the Sanctuary side.
However, the "Bronze Five" are no longer the "Bronze Five" of the past. They are much more mature now, worthy of the Gold Saints entrusting the frontal battlefield to them.
Especially Ikki, the strongest among the "Bronze Five". Even among the previous generation Gold Saints, few could say they completely surpassed him. His Cosmo was astonishingly strong, and his prestige among Silver and Bronze Saints was very high. He was even hailed as the strongest Bronze Saint in history, a Bronze Saint surpassing Gold Saints.
Some say hatred is the driving force for people to move forward, but so is love. The day the Pallasites attacked the Sanctuary happened to be the day he and Esmeralda were holding their wedding hosted by Saori.
What do you think Ikki's mood should be right now? Do you think he holds a grudge against the Pallasites? Shouldn't he be on his honeymoon as a groom right now?
Caught between love and hate, Ikki's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Even the other "Bronze Five" didn't dare to chatter much in front of him. Only when facing Shun would his temper be slightly better, and this was only because Shun and Esmeralda looked somewhat alike.
"Hō Yoku Ten Shō (Phoenix flapping wings ascent)!" A huge fire phoenix flashed by, and a Pallasite holding a deep black scepter fell unwillingly in front of Ikki. There wasn't a single spot on his body without injuries; even his Chronotector was melted by the phoenix's flames.
Second-Class Pallasite, Scepter Scarlet Janus, defeated.
"As expected of that Death God Ikki, his strength is truly formidable. Even a Second-Class Pallasite couldn't last a round against him." The observing Bronze, Silver, and even Candidate Saints discussed one after another.
Second-Class Pallasites already possessed the strength of beginner Gold Saints. Plus the weapons in their hands, they were stronger than the twelve Gold Saints of the Little Sanctuary commanded by Mars.
However, even such an enemy wasn't a match for one move from Ikki; one can imagine Ikki's strength.
"That idiot Janus actually died at the hands of a Bronze Saint just like that; truly shaming us Pallasites." On the other hand, the Pallasite morale dropped greatly because a Second-Class Pallasite was instantly killed. Although they shouted fiercely, no one dared to step forward to provoke.
"That guy Ikki is really showing off. Black Saints, don't let those few Bronzes look down on our power. Show them the backbone of our Black Saints!" Seeing Ikki in the limelight, the Black Four Heavenly Kings also refused to be outdone.
Although they weren't as heaven-defying as the "Bronze Five", their Cosmo was also astonishingly strong. At least the strength of the Black Four Heavenly Kings was not below Second-Class Pallasites.
"Goddess Athena... damn Pallasites!" Don't be deceived by Ikki instantly killing a Second-Class Pallasite effortlessly; his heart was actually very agitated right now.
The reason was that their Goddess Athena was in a very bad situation.
If Athena's divine power wasn't constantly being stolen by that strange spiral ring on Pallas's hand, the Sanctuary Army would definitely be able to crush the Pallasite army. Even if forces were split to fight the Spectre Army, the Sanctuary Army could still occupy an absolute advantage.
Now is different from the Omega period; the humans of various countries still exist. Although their power is weak compared to gods, they can still play a certain containing role.
Plus the amazing development of the Sanctuary in recent years and the secret support of the Chimera Ant legion, it would be strange if they couldn't beat the Pallasites like this.
If not for that damn Pallas, would Athena with the War Godhead fear the so-called Pallasite Four Heavenly Kings? Even facing Saturn, the Lord of Pallasites, she wouldn't be without the power to fight.
In mythology, Athena is a great god comparable to Zeus.
The Saint Seiya world reveres Greek mythology; would Athena fear a Major God from the Roman mythology system?
