Thirteen years ago, Athena was reincarnated as a baby in the Sanctuary. At that time, the Sagittarius Gold Saint suddenly rebelled and wanted to attack the baby Athena. Fortunately, the Pope appeared in time to stop this behavior, and the Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos escaped from the Sanctuary.
After the incident, the Pope ordered a manhunt for Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos, who betrayed the Sanctuary.
This is the first version known to all Saints.
Thirteen years ago, the Pope was murdered by the Gemini Gold Saint Saga. No one knew about this. Saga replaced the Pope and became the new generation Pope. On the night Athena was born, Saga assassinated the baby Athena with a golden dagger.
At that time, Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos appeared in time to stop Saga's actions. Because the Pope has worn a mask since ancient times, no Saint knew the real appearance of the Pope.
Aiolos fought with Saga and accidentally revealed the true identity of the Pope. When he saw the Pope's appearance, Aiolos chose to escape and took away the baby Athena.
After the incident, the Pope issued an arrest warrant for the rebellious Aiolos.
This is the second version, which only five people know: Pope Saga, Sagittarius Aiolos, Aries Mu, Goromine Dohko, and Kido Saori's grandfather Kido Mitsumasa.
Of the five, Sagittarius Aiolos died of his injuries 13 years ago, and Mitsumasa Kido also died later.
Aries Mu and Gorofeng Dohko chose to remain silent because Sagittarius Aiolos was dead and there was no evidence.
The only one left is Pope Saga, who is the mastermind behind the murder and will never tell anyone about it.
Therefore, after awakening Athena, Saori Kido was troubled about returning to the Sanctuary because the Pope's power was too great and no one could help her.
In the Sanctuary, the Pope is Athena's spokesperson in the earthly world. All Saints must obey him, and the Pope is the supreme divine authority.
When the Pope said that Saori Kido was not Athena, no one dared to object, and no one would verify it. After all, Saori Kido did not grow up in the Sanctuary.
........
Wulao Peak.
Under the waterfall, an old man closed his eyes to rest, then suddenly opened them, looked up in the direction of Tokyo, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"What's going on? Athena actually left Tokyo and is heading towards... the direction of the Sanctuary at an extremely fast speed."
He is Dohko, the Libra Gold Saint who survived from the last era. He was rewarded by Athena with the art of faking the death of the gods and is still alive today.
Dohko has always been keeping an eye on Athena, but because of his duties he cannot leave Wulao Peak, so he cannot help Athena. The power of the Pope of the Sanctuary is too great, so he chooses to remain silent and wait for Athena to grow up and return.
According to his idea, he had to wait until his disciple Shiryu went to Tokyo and then help Athena return to the Sanctuary.
But now......
"Mu, answer me, did you hear me?"
Tonghu concentrated his mind and used his microcosm to spread his thoughts to convey the message to Mu who was far away in Jamil.
"Teacher, what's the matter?"
Aries Mu discovered the changes in the Holy Land at an early age and has been living in seclusion in Jamil ever since. He does not communicate with outsiders except for repairing the holy clothes.
"Athena has returned to the Sanctuary. We must rush there as soon as possible. We cannot let anything happen to Athena."
"What? Athena returned to the Sanctuary. What's going on, teacher?"
"I don't know either. What you have to do now is to protect Athena."
"But, that person is in the Sanctuary, I'm afraid I can't do it alone..."
"If it involves Athena, just say that."
"Teacher, the other Gold Saints may be in cahoots with that person. It's useless even if we tell them."
"Whether they believe it or not, there will always be a few people who will be loyal to Athena for the sake of justice and peace. Go."
After listening to Tonghu's words, Mu put on the golden holy clothes and disappeared on the spot. Like lightning, he flashed away and quickly headed towards the holy land.
..........
Sanctuary.
The holy land protected by Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, is where the Saints who protect peace on earth live. It is also known as the last stronghold to protect peace on earth. Except for the Saints and other warriors and related personnel, no one else is allowed to enter the sanctuary.
On the high mountain of the sanctuary close to the night sky is the Temple of Athena, below it is the Pope's Palace, followed by the twelve temples leading down the mountain, named after the twelve zodiac signs in astrology, and each sign is guarded by a powerful Gold Saint.
However, due to what happened thirteen years ago, four of the twelve temples were left vacant, and only eight Gold Saints were guarding the sanctuary.
At this time, everyone in the eight temples and the Pope's Palace sensed that someone had invaded the Sanctuary. Because the Sanctuary was protected by Athena, any invasion by outsiders could be sensed by the Sanctuary's strongest Gold Saint.
A masked man walked out of the Pope's Palace. He was wearing papal robes, a red helmet with a mask attached, and long blue hair draped behind him. He looked up in the direction of Tokyo.
"This breath, it's her, no, it's impossible, how can she still be alive, didn't she die thirteen years ago?"
The Pope knew that breath best. He had witnessed the baby thirteen years ago and felt that sacred breath up close.
"Hahaha, she's alive, she's really alive, that's great, that's great."
The Pope was happy from the bottom of his heart, but at this time another voice came out of his mouth.
"Shut up, even if she's alive, I'll kill her."
"No, I won't let you succeed this time."
"Save your energy, I'm the strongest Gemini, not you."
