After Saori's Athena Cosmo was revived, she sent Guan Liyuan and Saga's fight to the sky to avoid causing turmoil in the Sanctuary, and teleported the Saints in the twelve zodiacs to the Goddess Temple with herself.

Even though Saori is a wild Athena, she can instinctively use the Scepter of Victory, the Holy Shield, and the power of the Goddess Temple.

When Shura and Aioria "exchanged their hearts with fists", he already felt the other party's intentions, and also remembered Aioris thirteen years ago, who was obviously stronger than himself but would rather be seriously injured by his "holy sword" than fight back.

At this time, feeling Athena's warm and friendly Cosmo for the Saint Seiya, Shura knelt directly...

Kneeled on one knee, took the initiative to take off the gold armor, and looked like he was waiting for his fate.

After Aphrodite found that it was impossible to do anything, he sneered... took off the gold armor, but stood there with a red rose between his legs. He didn't seem to want to increase the casualties, but he didn't mean to surrender to the goddess. He sniffed the rose with a smile. As a supporter of Saga, he felt that there was no need to rescue him now.

In addition to Aphrodite and Shura, the other gold saints had already accepted Saori's identity.

Saga angrily questioned the gold saints: "... You bastards, are you going to hand over the earth to a little girl? Can she protect the earth in front of the sea king and Hades?"

"Enough! Saga, are you still stubborn!" Aldebaran said angrily.

"Thirteen years ago, you tried to kill young Athena, and killed my brother who stopped your atrocities... Today is the time to settle the account!"

Although it was Shura who directly caused Aiolis to be seriously injured and died, Aiolis obviously put the account on Saga.

"And you killed the Pope, the guardian and ruler of the earth? Don't be ridiculous, you are the embodiment of evil!" Milo said angrily. Sure

enough, the first to speak were the upright trio...

But Saga ignored the pressure brought to him by several gold saints, and argued: "Enough? You guys, don't forget who led you to defeat the Titans? It was obviously that old guy Shion! Aiolis... that kind of naive guy, if he is allowed to be the Pope, the Sanctuary will be finished!

And what about Athena, who was just a baby thirteen years ago and is now just a little kid, do you really want to bet on her in the holy war? Even if I am evil, it is to resist other gods from interfering in the earth!"

At this time, Athena... that is, Saori stood up and said: "Saga, if the earth is ruled by someone who does not understand love and justice, and the evildoers can run rampant... I can say here now: That is not the world we want to protect. It doesn't matter if such a world is destroyed!"

"..."

When Saga was speechless and retreated half a step with his momentum fading, Guan Liyuan muttered to the side: "'Evildoers can run rampant' is indeed bad, but if it is just 'ruled by people who don't understand love and justice', I think the 'world' can still be cured."

However, the muttering seemed a little louder. The upright trio glared at Guan Liyuan, and the other gold saints looked at him helplessly...

Obviously most of the gold saints, especially the five little strong ones, did not agree with Guan Liyuan's statement.

Only Guan Liyuan and Mu found that when Saga heard Guan Liyuan's words, he smiled slightly. It was not a sneer or a helpless smile, but a very natural curling of the corners of his mouth. Maybe he thought so before!

Saga seemed to have found a reason and immediately retorted: "Evildoers can run rampant? What a joke, whether it's the Dark Saint or the garbage of the Sanctuary, haven't I been dealing with them for thirteen years?" "

But what about those ordinary fighters in the Sanctuary? Many people were killed by you simply because they found out your identity, right? This is worse than that guy Deathmask..." Mr. Mu said.

"Well, killing innocent people is really terrible!" Guan Liyuan nodded in agreement.

[This guy is just afraid of chaos in the world, right? ] The upright trio looked at him strangely.

"That was just a necessary sacrifice..." Saga explained.

But Guan Liyuan felt that this statement from Saga was even more untenable than from Deathmask!

And at this moment, Mu sighed and said, "I didn't want to say it... Teacher Shiang once told me about the next Pope thirteen years ago."

"Haha, I also saw and heard it. It was Aioris, right?" Saga said.

"Yes, it was like this at the beginning." Mu said.

"At the beginning?" Saga was stunned when he heard this.

"But Aioris has already refused the appointment and recommended you to the teacher, but the teacher thinks that you may not be able to suppress your darkness in the future, so... let me deliberately spread the word that 'Aioris' is the next Pope, and use this as a test. As long as you can persist for a few months, as long as a few months... prove that you can restrain your darkness, the teacher will decide to pass the Pope to you." Mu said.

At that time, the Golden Cloth had not yet revived, and Mu was just a messenger boy following Shion. He had a close relationship with the Pope and was still young. As a "messenger" who would not be suspected, it was perfect.

"You, you lied!" Saga said in disbelief.

Mu did not refute Saga's doubts, because... he had no reason to lie at all, Saga just couldn't accept it.

"Tsk tsk." Guan Liyuan made a strange sound on the side.

If Guan Liyuan had not been in the "suspected goddess camp" before, and the other gold saints, apart from causing trouble in the previous civil war, did not make as much "contribution" as Guan Liyuan, someone would probably chase this guy away... Guan

Liyuan was also helpless. Doesn't Shion understand what it means to not die if you don't commit suicide?

Before the last holy war, Pope Sage tested Aspros in this way... As a result, Aspros hypnotized his brother Defteros to assassinate the Pope together.

And Saga is also confused, there is obviously a "previous lesson"!

After listening to Mu's words, Saga obviously couldn't accept this reason, and in a frenzy, he directly attacked Saori. Saori was excited just now and had already walked close to Saga!

Others didn't expect Saga to take action in this situation, and at such a close distance, even Aioria couldn't rescue him in time...

However, at the critical moment, Saga's bright side finally came back to his senses from the half-dead state after being shot by an arrow before, and forcibly fought for half of the body control.

Saga kept punching Saori with one hand, but with the other hand he pulled the scepter of victory from Saori's hand and hit his own chest...

And you can see that on the hand that punched, there was a red rose stuck in the hole in the palm that was pierced by the golden arrow before!

"Humph!" Aphrodite saw that his actions seemed unnecessary, and snorted coldly, pretending to be indifferent, as if he was trying to dart the goddess, but he missed the target, so don't look at me.
