"Shun! You're finally here. We thought something happened... Hmm? Are you injured?"

A young man carrying the Pegasus Cloth Box came up to Shun and another stranger when he saw them rushing over.

"Fairy Island... was destroyed by Deathmask, the Gold Saint of Cancer. Several companions had some misunderstandings. Fortunately, we met Guan Liyuan on the way and the misunderstandings were resolved." Shun didn't say much.

The kind-hearted Shun had also pleaded for Lida and Spiga before, and didn't let Guan Liyuan hurt them - Guan Liyuan didn't want to hurt them at all.

Guan Liyuan just learned some of the situation. Fairy Island was attacked by Deathmask alone - that is, it is consistent with the settings of the comics and the Hades chapter.

It is not like the animated version of the Zodiac Chapter, where Milo was inexplicably blackmailed and the plot was changed to Milo vs. Albio, and then Deathmask sneaked up from behind.

"Guan Liyuan? Are you a Saint too?" Seiya looked at Guan Liyuan and asked.

"No, I won't be left alone..."

Well, Guan Liyuan's "joke" really chilled them.

"Thank you very much for your help." Saori expressed his gratitude to Guan Liyuan for his help.

"You're welcome. I have something to trouble you with later."

"What is it? As long as it is something that the 'Gulado Group' can do, I can agree to it!" Saori promised.

"It's not a big deal. You are going to the Holy Land now, right? How about I take a ride?" Guan Liyuan said.

"You are going to the Holy Land? Can I ask what your purpose is..."

"To make friends!"

"..."

Although everyone felt that Guan Liyuan was a weird person, they still agreed to his request.

After all, it was just a ride. If Guan Liyuan was really an accomplice of the Holy Land Pope, there was no need to take a ride to go back.

On the plane, Guan Liyuan also asked some questions in a roundabout way to determine whether the cause and effect line here was the same as what he knew. The conclusion was - roughly the same, but there were differences in details, and some followed the comics and some followed the animation.

For example, Seiya, Hyoga and others are orphans, and only Ikki and Shun are blood relatives, unlike the crazy half-brothers in the comics...

In addition, Shiryu is indeed blind now, so he was not called. They had met Leo Aiolia before, but according to Seiya, Aiolia was just here to verify some things. It seems that he believed more from the beginning that his brother, Sagittarius Aiolis, who protected Athena from escaping the Sanctuary thirteen years ago, was not a traitor to the Sanctuary.

And the current Pope is theoretically "the previous Aries Gold Saint Shion", not Shion's brother "Alex" who was originally created in the animation version.

Just when Guan Liyuan wanted to get more words out, Saori seemed to inadvertently change the subject...

Guan Liyuan couldn't help but look at Saori twice more. It was the same before. When agreeing to Guan Liyuan's "request", she specifically promised that it was "something that the Gurudo Group can do", and did not mention the Saint Seiya.

In addition, he cleverly diverted the topic and avoided Guan Liyuan's clichés. Obviously, it was not a coincidence before, but the "art of language".

It seems that as the heir of the Gu Ladu Group, Saori is definitely not a naive person. Of course... a little scheming is not a bad thing, nor does it mean that he is not kind.

Guan Liyuan's main purpose is to find someone to make friends with, and he doesn't care about other things. He simply closes his eyes and rests on the plane.

After the plane landed, he opened his eyes and went down with the others...

It was not easy for the people of the Sanctuary to not see such a big plane falling, but they did not stop it. It seems that the other party is also waiting for Saori!

At present, from the perspective of the Sanctuary, the "Goddess" is in the Goddess Temple, while the outside world has the Libra Gold Saint Dohko, "collaborating" with some Silver and Bronze Saints, announcing that the Goddess is with them, and also to vindicate the "traitor" Sagittarius Aiolis thirteen years ago.

Normally, the latter's words are completely unreliable, but the problem is that for thirteen years, the Pope has indeed forbidden others to see the Goddess, and all orders were conveyed by him.

Although the goddess cannot be seen whenever you want, it is a bit unscientific that she has not appeared for thirteen years...

In addition, the Pope's behavior has become more and more weird in recent years. Most of the gold saints have noticed something and left the Sanctuary. The soldiers serving the Pope often disappear mysteriously in the Sanctuary.

It is a time when people's hearts are floating!

However, Pope Shion and Libra Dohko are both old predecessors who survived from the previous era. They are all highly respected. For a while... most of them are "fence-sitters".

Saori wrote to the Pope before, saying that she would come to "visit" and sort things out.

The Pope also sent a letter to several gold saints who left the Sanctuary, saying that the "false god gang" was going to invade the Sanctuary...

Although many gold saints had doubts in their hearts, no matter whether it was a true god or a false god, the other party had arrived at the door. Even if it was to find out the truth, they all rushed back to the Sanctuary.

What really puzzled Guan Liyuan was why most of the Gold Saints were still on the side of the Pope...

In all likelihood, the situation should be that thirteen years ago, Gemini Saga had already successfully assassinated Shion. When he wanted to kill Saori, who was still a baby, Sagittarius rescued Saori. After that, Saga sent people to hunt down the "rebellious" Aiolis, pretending to be the Pope, and pretending that the goddess was still there, ruling the Sanctuary in the name of Shion and Athena!

Counting up, there are more than one or two suspicious places for this guy...

Among the other Gold Saints, let alone the few who support Saga, the upright Milo and the honest Aldebaran, what are Mu, Camus, and Shaka doing?

In the original work, only Mu, who is Shion's disciple, felt that "the teacher is not right", helped Seiya and others repair the holy clothes, and did not stop... But he did not help "break through" at the beginning, but only stood on the side of the goddess after Saori's identity was completely confirmed.

Guan Liyuan was puzzled. When he walked off the plane with Saori, Seiya and others, he found that there was no one around, as if everyone really pretended not to see them.

After a while, a guy wearing a hood and a mask, who looked suspicious, approached.

"Is it Miss Saori?" the suspicious person asked.

"Yes."

"His Holiness has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

I don't know who gave Saori the courage. She actually brought a few bronze saints and followed the suspicious people all the way to the Golden Twelve Palaces!

"This is the Twelve Zodiacs. Each palace is guarded by a golden saint. His Majesty the Pope is in the last Pope's Palace. If you want to see His Majesty the Pope, go ahead... But I remind you that since the mythological era, as the divine domain on earth, this place has never fallen once!"

"What do you mean? Doesn't the Pope come to see us in person?" Seiya said angrily.

"Hahaha, you also want to see the Pope? Not to mention the twelve palaces, you can't even pass this level of mine! Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart!"

The mysterious man took off his cloak and suddenly attacked Saori and others!

Countless golden arrows shot over like rain...

"It's an illusion." Guan Liyuan reminded.

But it was still a step too late!

In the ordinary "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", there is a "small universe" hidden that Guan Liyuan can't lock. While others are avoiding the illusion arrows, it instantly shoots at Saori!

This is definitely not the power that a Silver Saint like Sagittarius possesses...

Guan Liyuan, who was originally on guard, had no chance to stop it at the moment when this small universe exploded.

"Ah!" Saori screamed.

"Miss Saori!" Seiya and others, who had just dealt with the sneak attack by Sagittarius, turned around in shock.

They saw a golden arrow hitting Saori's left chest!

Guan Liyuan felt pain in his breasts when he saw it, and he touched his left chest involuntarily, muttering, "It hurts, my friend."
