Chapter 271

Olgamari led everyone through the currently deserted Temple of Poseidon, and stopped at a location where the North Atlantic Pillar could be seen directly with the naked eye. She turned around and exchanged glances with Kirshtalia who was walking beside her. There was no need for communication. The moment Olgamari turned around, Kirshtalia cast the most basic barrier to isolate the outside world, and led everyone to start a pre-war meeting.

"The battle against the sea dragon, according to the Lord, should be handed over to Mr. Aphrodite." Olgamari summarized the current situation for everyone, "Pollux, who represents Dioscuri, the one who inherited the blood of God - I don't think I need to tell you more about the warning and reminder of the battle. The key issue is another one."

"Let me talk about this part—" Kirshtalia took over the topic from Olgamari and used magic to draw a star map of Gemini in front of everyone, "Dioscuri is an existence that is only considered one when two are combined. So the focus of this operation is to return Kanon to the Sanctuary... I'll be frank, if one of the Gemini brothers must die, it can only be the older brother."

"Because in the original legend, Castor, who did not inherit the blood of God, died first."

"So no matter what, Garen must be alive."

"Although there is another version of the legend that is closer to the two of them, since the Dioscuri we know is Pollux who inherited the blood of Zeus, I will introduce him to you like this." Olgamari briefly summarized the camp attributes of Saga and Kanon, "However, the brothers of Order·Good and Chaos·Evil... From this perspective, it is indeed very Dioscuri."

"Dioscuri is Chaos·Medium - although I agree that Castor is actually Chaos·Evil." Kirshtalia pulled her gloves and announced the end of this pre-war meeting, "Aphrodite goes alone first, and if you can't beat him, then go find Camus - if neither of you can do it, I don't mind joining the fight between you directly."

"By the way, don't force yourself - you don't want to know what happened to your previous generation of Saints because they didn't know how to work as a team."

"I've seen this in the notes of the previous generation of Aquarius Saints." Under the teachings of Lancermello, Camus, who had a more flexible battle mindset than other Saints, intercepted Kirshtalia's threat to Aphrodite and added a fact that was even more terrifying after knowing it, "The previous generation of Saints insisted on one-on-one combat, which forced them to fight many gods before their first large-scale battle with the Pluto Army."

"Among them is the Mother Goddess of Creation in Sumerian mythology—" Camus glanced at the older Aphrodite and gave an explanation that was closer to the Olympian genealogy, hiding the fact that the Saints at the time were only challenging weakened copies, "Just think of it as fighting Gaia, the Earth Goddess."

Finally, Aphrodite left the barrier under the threat of everyone and stepped into the range of the North Atlantic Pillar. Although he was evaluated by Lancermello as a guy who had no talent in magic and could not even talk on paper, he was Athena's Golden Saint after all, not a really useless muscle idiot who couldn't think.

Before Aphrodite appeared in front of Kanon, a sea of ​​bright red flowers covered the entire area where the North Atlantic Pillar was located - the poisonous Royal Demon Palace Rose paved the stage for his appearance and created a favorable environment for battle - Saga was very strong, so Kanon would naturally not be much worse, so Aphrodite had to make the situation as favorable to him as possible.

Aphrodite certainly knew Saga's evaluation of him - before Saga, the Pope, revealed the content of the plan to him, he had been sending evaluations of each Gold Saint to others - so Aphrodite also knew that if the Gold Saints fought each other, they would inevitably fall into the Thousand Days War...

However, even so, there is a slight gap between them.

Saga, who became the Pope, was undoubtedly the strongest - at that time, Camus and his companions had not yet obtained the Cloth, and Aphrodite had just obtained the Pisces Cloth; and the two eldest brothers who had been put into the candidates for the Pope's successor were undoubtedly the strongest at that time.

Originally, Aiolos should have received such an evaluation, but thirteen years ago, when he was protecting Athena, he was killed by Aphrodite, Deathmask, and Shura, who had just obtained the holy cloth. Even though Aiolos is still alive and living with the former Pope Shion, Aphrodite has already excluded him from the ranking of strength.

After all, he was a guy who was temporarily registered as dead - there was still a gap between a 14-year-old boy and a 28-year-old adult.

——Of course, there are also cases between adults in their twenties.

So, a year ago, when Saga routinely reported the strength evaluation of the Golden Saints to Shion and Lancer Mello, Aphrodite suddenly had the urge to go to the Pope's Hall to join in the fun - the two elders were of course somewhere else, and Aphrodite just came to see Saga write comments for him and to find out what others were doing.

——After all, Mu Ke, who hid back in Jamil because of Shiang’s death, didn’t know that his life for the past decade or so had been watched by the elders.

Saga has a habit that is quite different from the past popes and golden saints - when others mention the twelve zodiac signs, they usually start from Aries and end at Pisces, but Saga always counts from Pisces forward.

So when Aphrodite sneaked into the Papal Palace that night, Saga had already finished writing his evaluation of him and was reading Camus' report, thinking about how to write a comment on this Aquarius Gold Saint who almost always lived in the Siberian glaciers - so Aphrodite reached out and picked up the comment that Saga had placed aside.

Aphrodite's action certainly interrupted Saga's thoughts as he took off the triple crown to catch his breath, but the elder did not stop Aphrodite's action. He just reminded him to put it back in its place after reading it - if he wanted to read other people's comments, he could also sit directly at the desk and read it.

Then Aphrodite opened the letter and saw Saga's evaluation of himself now -

"He has a beautiful appearance but is the most terrifying Saint. I think if it is him now, he should be able to meet your expectations."

——Beauty is domination.

——Love is domination.

The memories of being taught by the witch in his childhood once again filled Aphrodite's mind. In the moonlit courtyard, the blue-haired witch raised her hand and drew the pattern of Pisces in the air, smiling and asking Aphrodite, "Are you ready to share the same name with the goddess of love and beauty, 'Aphrodite'?"

"Although it may not be possible, we must try it." Standing in the sea of ​​roses in the Royal Magic Palace, Aphrodite hid his body with petals and smiled, repeating the proposition from the goddess of love and beauty, "Beauty is domination, love is domination - so, I, who have the same name, will dominate everything to achieve victory."

——Will it turn into a Thousand Days War if we start the battle right away? Then let Kanon be poisoned first, since as a Pisces Gold Saint, I won't be poisoned anyway.

——What if Kanon avoids the poison of the Royal Demon Palace Rose? Then start the battle directly and call Camus to join the battlefield.

This battle is a surprise attack, and must be done quickly enough - so it cannot be a one-on-one war that drags on for thousands of days.

——All available powers must be used, except for those magicians who seem to have no pressure at all.

This was a test, and if he failed, the true outcome of the previous holy war that he had seen in the diary that Camus had specifically reminded him to read would be played out before their eyes once again.

Neither the Saints nor Athena played any role in that war. The first magician who appeared before them, Lancermelo, annihilated all the Hades' army by himself, and single-handedly solved the problem of Cairo who intended to kill the gods.

No one knows how she did it - she herself never mentioned the details of the battle, and the records left by the previous generation of Aquarius were only a few words, and the records that the entire sanctuary was later controlled by the magician.

Therefore, before leaving the Sanctuary this time, Saga broke down his speculations and all the information he had sorted out and told them to Aphrodite, who had no talent in magic - not that he wanted Aphrodite to become a magician, but the plan drawn up by the magician was something that a warrior could not understand, and naturally he could not cooperate with.

"Maybe I shouldn't have given you such a high evaluation when I reported last year, otherwise she wouldn't have brought only you and Camus." Saga explained to Aphrodite in the Pope's Hall the purpose of Lancermello's next trip to the Sea Realm. "You have also read the diary of the previous generation of Aquarius left by Camus in the Aquarius Palace - she could have flattened the Sea Realm alone like the last holy war, but she chose to bring you with her."

"She said that she wanted to let the Sea Realm fight Hades as well, which was only one of the reasons. Most likely, she wanted to test you two." Saga, who had been the Pope for more than a decade, had his own way of guessing the thoughts of those in power. "To be precise, she wanted you to prove that the Saints of the Sanctuary were qualified to appear on the battlefield of the War of Gods."

"If you fail to prove that you have the qualifications - I give you two the highest evaluation among everyone, and I have to stay in the Sanctuary, so she will let you two represent the Sanctuary's combat power." Saga looked at Aphrodite and sighed helplessly, "If you as representatives fail to meet her requirements..."

"Then, she will once again create the same situation as the last holy war - although the last holy war also had the factor that Hades had made preparations for this holy war in advance, but Hades is one of the twelve main gods after all, and not everyone can defeat him so easily."

"Although it may sound strange to say this, Aphrodite, you must prove to her that humans also have the power to create miracles. The God War is not just a war between gods. God's warriors should also be qualified to participate."

——So, in this battle with Garlon, Aphrodite must not only win, but also win beautifully.

Red rose petals fluttered in the air, and a huge storm arose with Kanon as the center.
