"The former Sun God Abel, the Underworld's Lucifer, and the Goddess of Discord, Eris—I didn't expect Hades to go to such lengths for this Holy War."
After reading Seiya's memories from the past two years, Adam couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that because the previous Holy War had been in a stalemate, and with Android 16, whose combat power reached 1.2 billion, left behind after Adam departed, the scales of victory began to tip towards the Sanctuary.
Subsequently, due to continuous battles, although they never encountered a desperate situation, Seiya and the other four Bronze Saints gradually reached the level of top Gold Saints, and the Sanctuary had completely gained the upper hand.
To avoid failure in this Holy War, the destruction of his true body, and ending up in the same predicament as Poseidon, Hades finally set aside his dignity.
He united with his Twin Gods subordinates and together used their divine power to unseal Abel, Lucifer, and Eris, who had previously been defeated and sealed by Athena and the Saints.
In a meticulously planned surprise attack, they severely wounded Android 16 and most of the Saints, and abducted Athena from the Sanctuary, taking her back to the Underworld.
Because Athena was already wearing her goddess cloth, it wasn't so easy to kill her.
So they took Athena into Elysium, preparing to jointly execute her there, seal her soul, completely end the Holy War, and destroy all of humanity.
To save Athena, Seiya and the other four Bronze Saints, along with all the Gold and Silver Saints still capable of fighting, together stormed into the Underworld.
However, due to the suddenness of the event, they did not receive the blessing of the goddess's blood, and most had not awakened the Eighth Sense. After entering the Underworld, their strength was greatly weakened, making even dealing with Specters difficult.
Under the cover of the Saints, Seiya fought his way through, but still encountered the Goddess of Discord, Eris, who had been waiting for them, upon entering the Fourth Circle. He was defeated and cast into the Eighth Prison.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the Underworld, the Saints were still fighting.
"Since that's the case, why not devour all six gods?"
Adam stroked his chin, a bold idea emerging in his mind.
Anyway, devouring just Hades was bound to offend the gods, so with such a good opportunity now, why not devour the Cosmos of all six gods? The effect would definitely be stronger than devouring just Hades.
"Perhaps."
At this moment, Adam glanced at the hundreds of billions of Saints' souls frozen in the ice, and immediately had a corresponding plan.
"Adam, let's hurry, otherwise Athena will be in danger."
Seeing Adam lost in thought, Seiya urged him anxiously.
If Athena were killed, the Holy War would end, and all of humanity would be finished.
"No hurry, I can sense Athena's Cosmo. Although it's constantly being weakened, she can hold on for another hour or so, no problem."
Adam waved his hand, then smiled:
"After all, there are six gods on the other side. If we want to rescue Athena, we'll need helpers."
"Helpers?"
Seiya looked puzzled.
Adam injected a large amount of Supreme Power into the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan in his glabella, while also inserting his serpent staff into the ice.
"Rinne Rebirth—resurrect, Gold Saints of all generations!"
Since the Ice Hell imprisoned hundreds of billions of Saints from all generations, at least a hundred million of them were Gold Saints. Hades could unseal gods sealed by Athena to help him, and naturally, Adam could also resurrect a hundred million Gold Saints to help.
If it were before, he truly couldn't have resurrected so many powerful Gold Saints at once.
But now that his powers were merged, all his strength had been elevated to the same level, and the ready-made souls were all here, so naturally, it was no problem.
As Adam's power covered the entire Eighth Prison, the souls frozen in the ice all awakened, and began to extend flesh and blood from within.
In just a few minutes, a hundred million Gold Saints appeared before Adam and Seiya, including Shion, Asmita, Deuteros, and many others.
Even though these Gold Saints were not clad in their gold cloth, their Cosmos were still terrifying.
"What's going on? We've all been resurrected."
Shion and the other Gold Saints of past generations were also completely bewildered upon finding themselves resurrected in the Underworld's Eighth Prison.
Adam immediately ascended into the air with Seiya and loudly declared using magic amplification:
"To all Gold Saints of past generations, I am Adam, the Ophiuchus Gold Saint of this generation, and this beside me is Pegasus Seiya.
It is currently the time of the Holy War. Hades, in alliance with the former Sun God Abel, the Underworld's Lucifer, and the Goddess of Discord, Eris, has abducted Athena, intending to kill her and destroy humanity.
Therefore, I hope all you Gold Saints can lend us a hand, defeat Hades, rescue Athena, and completely make the Underworld disappear, allowing the souls of all Saints to rest in peace."
Saints who could be cast into the Eighth Prison were absolutely loyal to Athena.
Upon learning of the current situation, they all eagerly prepared, wanting to quickly rescue Athena and completely end the Holy War.
And so, under the leadership of Adam and Seiya, a hundred million Gold Saints surged out of the Eighth Prison in a mighty procession.
"Down with Hades! Down with Abel! Down with Lucifer! Down with Eris! Athena will prevail!"
Adam led everyone in chanting slogans while simultaneously locking onto the Cosmo of the Goddess of Discord, Eris.
With six gods killed, and their souls and Cosmos vanishing without a trace, the other gods would undoubtedly be enraged afterwards.
However, with these hundred million resurrected Gold Saints guarding the Sanctuary, protecting Athena, and protecting humanity, the gods would surely have to think twice.
This way, even when he was not present, this World would not be destroyed by the gods because of his actions.
Once he absorbed the Cosmos of the six gods and completely perfected his power system, his strength would greatly increase, and by then, he wouldn't even need to pay attention to Apollo.
The Seventh Prison, the largest hell in the Underworld, composed of ten trenches, was truly a hell within hell.
The Goddess of Discord, Eris, single-handedly struck down Virgo, Aries, Libra, and Gemini, while the other four Bronze Saints were being tormented by the Underworld Three Giants.
"You want to save Athena? You are truly overestimating yourselves! I will send you, along with the previous Seiya, into the Eighth Prison, and you will be frozen there forever! This is your punishment for daring to strike at a god!"
Just as everyone was defeated and the Goddess of Discord, Eris, was laughing maniacally, countless roars suddenly erupted from behind.
"Down with Hades! Down with Abel! Down with Lucifer! Down with Eris! Athena will prevail!"
And accompanying these roars were Saints, each having at least broken through the Seventh Sense, and many even the Eighth Sense, whose Cosmos were not suppressed by the Underworld.
They were densely packed, rushing towards this direction.
"?????"
