Chapter 381

This remark caused an awkward moment, especially for the faces of several Gold Saints.

"Forgive my rudeness, Lord Luode! Earlier, my Sanctuary experienced some rebellions, and many Gold Saints loyal to me bravely sacrificed themselves." Saori Kido said.

This answer was somewhat evasive, but it still told Luode that some rebellions had occurred.

"Hmph! Those traitors were all defeated; they followed the evil Pope in rebellion, so naturally they had to be subdued by us." Xiewu said.

The faces of several Gold Saints grew even uglier—what do you mean by saying that? It sounds as if you defeated us.

At this moment, Scorpio Milo had already clenched his fists, you damned bronze unicorn—what qualifications do you have to say such things? Subduing us is the doing of the Star Losers, warriors who have comprehended the Seventh Sense Cosmos, and moreover challenged the Twelve Temples under the aid of the Goddess's divine Cosmos.

Furthermore, the Gold Saints mostly held back, and some even directly defected in battle; otherwise, why do you think no one has breached the Twelve Temples of the Zodiac since the mythic era?

If Athena's barrier were opened, with all twelve Gold Saints in position, even if the 108 demon stars of the Underworld all moved out together, they would not even dream of breaking through the Twelve Temples of the Zodiac.

"Xiewu! How can you speak like that? At that time, the Gold Saints were all deceived by the false Pope.

I blame them not at all; from beginning to end, they have always been my Saints." Saori Kido said.

Xiewu's loyalty is beyond question, but his mind is simply too dull, and his strength is nothing special—just the level of an ordinary bronze Saint.

Most importantly, this brat has little growth potential; he will likely never comprehend the Seventh Sense in his lifetime.

"Yes, Miss Saori!" After being scolded by Saori, Xiewu immediately stepped aside.

"Now the defensive strength of the Sanctuary is extremely weak—only five Gold Saints remain. But if Lord Luode protects me, then all will be secure." Athena said.

This time, by merging with the divine body, I will surely draw the scrutiny of the Sea Realm, and even Pluto Hades will take action. If all the Gold Saints of the Twelve Temples were present, I could confidently open Athena's barrier.

Within Athena's barrier, the combat power of other fighters would be suppressed to the lowest point, while my Gold Saints could exert their power to the maximum.

But now only five remain; even if the one from the Five Old Peaks returned, we would still have only six Gold Saints guarding the temples, and combat power would still be severely insufficient.

Moreover, my most important warrior, the greatest trump card since the mythic era—the Pegasus Saint who slays gods—has not yet grown.

"Ah, I see! I was presumptuous—do you need my help? I possess a special power that might revive the fallen Gold Saints." Luode said.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique can succeed if one has a complete place in the Underworld; now Pluto Hades' soul is not fully awakened, so Luode is quite confident he can steal some souls from the Underworld.

"What! Reviving the dead—how is this possible? This is a power only Pluto Hades possesses!" Muton exclaimed in shock.

The ability to revive the dead has always belonged only to the Underworld army; under Pluto's undying power, these Underworld fighters are the hardest to deal with.

Could it be—could it be that this god before us has some relation to Pluto Hades? But if related to Pluto Hades, how could he possibly aid Athena?

"Mr. Luode! Do you mean your life energy can directly revive the deceased? Is that correct?" Saori Kido's eyes lit up as she said.

The Saints may not know, but he certainly knows that many powerful gods have the ability to casually revive mortals—like the gods who possess Ultimate Power.

They can easily revive the dead, and gods who hold the laws of death or life can also revive departed life.

When Luode's Cosmos was just awakened, Saori Kido sensed that the greatest power within him was actually life energy.

He is a god who governs the life attribute, and Luode should also have studied some death-attribute divine power, though he has not mastered it.

"You are correct, Miss Saori! I possess the ability to revive the deceased, though the number is limited, and the soul must be very strong for me to summon it back from the Underworld.

At least the Seventh Sense of the Cosmos must be awakened; ordinary people lack sufficient soul strength and cannot be revived; furthermore, the body must be preserved."

"I must impose some restrictions on you—actually, if merely reviving mortals, as long as the soul remains, Luode can revive them, ignoring all rules."

"This time, Luode plans to first use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the souls of the dead, then directly apply the Reincarnation Birth technique combined with several resurrection spells from the world of Azeroth to revive them."

Having secluded himself for three thousand years, Luode has studied many things; his mastery of resurrection techniques has reached a higher level.

Now, reviving an ordinary mortal—even a demigod-level existence—is effortless for Luode.

"It has been less than half a month since the Twelve Temples war ended, and those fallen Gold Saints were just buried; if what you say is true, then time should be sufficient?" Aruridiba said excitedly.

"Again, thank you for the trouble, Mr. Luode—please revive my Gold Saints! I am deeply grateful." Saori Kido bowed to Luode and said.

Reviving the Gold Saints would be more advantageous for this Holy War; when I merge with the divine body, I can fully open Athena's barrier.

Perhaps we won't even need this god to act—if the Underworld army and the Sea Emperor's army join forces, they might still not break through her Twelve Temples.

"Miss Saori! We are also Saints—please let us follow you to the Sanctuary!" The Bronze Five Weak said.

Saori Kido nodded, and together with the many Gold Saints and Luode, she flew directly back to the Sanctuary far in Greece.

"Then, who will you choose for revival this time? You only need to bring their remains." Luode said.

"Mr. Luode! Among the deceased Gold Saints this time, Gemini Saga has some issues—if possible, please do not revive him; likewise, Pisces and Cancer also need not be revived." Athena said.

Although Gemini Saga has a good side, his evil side is the most troublesome; this person is too difficult to control, and reviving him would be counterproductive.

Cancer Deathmask was even personally stripped of his Gold Cloth by this goddess; his behavior is too heinous.

Therefore, he will not be revived; as for Pisces, being the Pope's die-hard follower and lacking in combat strength, we should not waste revival slots on him.

Several Gold Saints also nodded in agreement with Athena's decision.

The aquatic duo also look down on him; as for Saga, this impostor who posed as Pope for thirteen years, the other Gold Saints hold an even worse opinion of him.

"If this generation won't do, then what about the remains of the previous generation's Gold Saints? I don't know if they've been preserved—I can revive the previous generation's Gold Saints." Luode asked.

"Let me confirm—are you the NB version or the IC version?"

"??? Lord Luode, you, you won't tell me that the Gold Saints who died over two hundred years ago—you can revive them too?" Leo Aiolia exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hahaha! I said it—if the soul strength is sufficient, revival is possible, and all Saints.

After death, they are thrown by Pluto into the cold hell, so as long as there is a corpse, I can use it as a medium.

To retrieve their souls from Pluto's grasp, then revive them through my own life divine power." Luode said.

"Good, good—amazing—is this the power of a god? It simply surpasses our mortal imagination." Mr. Mu said.

At this moment, even Tong Hu, fishing at the Five Old Peaks, could not sit still—could it be that those old friends who passed long ago are about to meet again?

"If so, Milo, Aruridiba, Aiolia—you three, immediately bring the remains of the fallen Gold Saints, and if you find the tombs of the previous generation's Gold Saints, bring those remains too." Saori Kido ordered at once.

"If I recall correctly, the combat power of the previous generation's Gold Saints was far greater than that of this generation."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Goddess—we will act now." The three Gold Saints nodded and instantly turned into afterimages, vanishing into the palace.

Soon the three Gold Saints carried several coffins in. "Your Majesty the Goddess! Aquarius Camus, Capricorn Shura, and the previous generation's Pisces Gold Saint—their remains are all here, already brought." Aiolia said.

My brother, Sagittarius Aiolos, did not die in the Sanctuary for certain reasons, so his remains were not buried here.

As for the previous generation's Gemini, they were unable to preserve their remains during the last great war against Pluto.

The same goes for the previous generation's Cancer; their remains were not preserved either.

So they brought a few corpses: one from the previous Holy War, and two from those who died in this Holy War.

"You've worked hard, my Golden Saints." Saori Kido spoke.

"Three will do; adding Tong Hu from Wulao Peak, the absent ones are just Gemini and Cancer, Sagittarius. 'It's not necessary to have the remains; some relics they left behind in life, as long as they can serve as a medium for spirit communication, will do.'" Luode spoke.

"The spirit communication technique I'm currently using doesn't require a complete flesh and blood body; as long as I can locate the opponent's soul aura, it's enough."

"In that case! Please wait a moment." Mu spoke.

"After all, he was once a disciple of Pope Shion; in the Sanctuary, there are some preserved relics from the previous generation's Holy War, and he still has the authority to obtain them."

Mu bowed to Athena and Luode, then hurriedly left and quickly returned to the Pope's Hall with two relics.

"Lord Luode! These are the items once used by the previous generation's Gemini and Cancer." Mu handed some relics to Luode.

"With these, it's enough; then let us begin!"

Luode first approached the relatively well-preserved Aquarius and Capricorn, then used spirit communication technique to directly recall their souls from the underworld.

With Luode's current divine microcosm strength, even if Pluto Hades were awake, he could not stop him from taking people.

After the souls of these two Golden Saints were pulled back, Luode immediately used life technique to revive their deceased bodies and reunite their souls with their flesh.

Under the watchful eyes of all, he completed this resurrection ritual.

"I, we... aren't we already dead?"

"How could this be, Aiolia? And Mu! What exactly happened to Arudiba?"

"Two Golden Saints, first return to your ranks, summon your Holy Clothes, you were revived by Athena's allies?" Mu roughly explained the situation to the two revived Golden Saints, then led them back to the team.

Next, Luode came before the coffin of the previous generation's Pisces Golden Saint; inside, the remains had already turned into a withered, rotten white skeleton.

Under Luode's summoning, an illusory soul was sent back from the underworld; then, Luode unleashed his powerful life force, reviving the opponent's body—a young man with beautiful blue-green long hair and a handsome face appeared.

At the sight of him, Luode immediately recognized him: the previous generation's Pisces Golden Saint, Albafica. It seems this Saint Seiya world inherits from the IC world.

Now that's interesting; in terms of prestige and combat power, the Golden Saints of the IC world are truly strong!

"I, I've been revived! Hades, I could never serve you—give up on that thought!" The recently revived Pisces Saint, upon realizing his situation, immediately changed expression and spoke, naively believing it was Pluto who revived him.

But Luode was too tired to explain; this kind of explanation would be left to those few Golden Saints and the lofty goddess herself.

Next, Luode took out the relic of the Cancer Golden Saint and began carefully sensing its aura.

After over ten minutes, he barely managed to capture the opponent's soul aura, and then used spirit communication technique to summon the soul over.

Then, using his own life energy, combined with a body of Bai Jue, he recreated a new body for it and allowed the soul to take residence.

"What the hell! I didn't die together with the old man?"

"How did I come back to life again? The Death God should have been sealed by us! Right, we also banished Pluto Hades's soul." The recently revived previous-generation Cancer Saint scratched his head and spoke.

He now feels a bit dazed.

"Previous-generation Cancer Golden Saint Manigold, stay over there; your goddess will personally explain the current situation to you, I still need to continue." Luode said.

Luode finished speaking and took out the relic of the previous-generation Gemini Golden Saint, then began the summoning; the previous-generation Gemini's combat power is off the charts!

Luode held the relic, carefully sensing it, but even after tens of minutes, and even after several revived Golden Saints had figured out the situation and resummoned their own Holy Clothes,

Luode still frowned, because he could not sense any aura related to the Gemini soul at all.

"This relic won't do; I completely sense nothing about the previous-generation Gemini." Luode put down the Gemini relic, shook his head, and said.

This situation either means the relic is wrong, or the Gemini soul has already been annihilated.

"The previous-generation Gemini Aspros died due to betrayal and a failed assassination attempt on the Pope.

But in the end, he had a change of heart and defeated the then strongest Demon Star, Tian Kui Star.

His soul should already be gone; the relic in your hand is indeed his." A very small figure entered the Sanctuary and spoke; the comer was precisely Tong Hu, guardian of Wulao Peak.

Aspros's soul was very likely destroyed by that Time God, which is why it cannot be summoned.

That demon Time God even ran out to cause trouble more than ten years after the Holy War ended, and finally died at the hands of the goddess and Pegasus Saint.

"Tong Hu Master! Why have you come?"

"I sensed that Athena needs my strength, so I came; you need not worry, I will guard the Libra Palace myself!" Tong Hu spoke.

"Lord Luode! This is my brother Aiolos's relic from his lifetime; I don't know if using this can summon his soul." Aiolia took out a necklace and spoke.

"Hahaha! Your brother is the easiest to revive among everyone." Luode approached the Sagittarius Holy Cloth, directly extracting the soul residing within it.

After Aiolos's death, his soul never went to the underworld but instead resided in this Holy Cloth, so his revival is also the simplest.

"Brother! Great, it's really you."

"Aiolia, you've grown up!"

After this Sagittarius Saint was revived, he naturally embraced his brother, then knelt before Saori and pledged loyalty.

"In that case, the twelve Golden Saints are only missing one Gemini." Mu spoke.

"Since that's the case, then I'll find someone to serve as Gemini!" Luode spoke.

The Gemini's Galaxy Star Explosion, plus the alternate dimension space, and even the Illusory Demon Emperor Fist—Luode is very interested in them.

The Galaxy Star Explosion is said to be the strongest single-target attack among all Saints.

Speaking of which, my father-in-law's violent vigor still matches Gemini quite well; it's just right to let him learn the King's Way of Battle. (End of Chapter)
