Chapter 274

All in all, Chaldea's current operations in the Sea Realm have come to an end for the time being - except for Amphitrite, who was unable to directly deal with Poseidon's soul for the time being because she had integrated into the Sea Realm too successfully, Garlon and Elzak were packed up and sent to the "Court" magic deep in the British Mountains to accompany Shion and Aiolos; Asclepius finally gave Garlon preliminary treatment according to Lansemelo's arrangement.

Then, the people of Chaldea once again put the "court" behind their minds and watched the growth of the Bronze Saints of Japan.

"...Saga is surprisingly diligent in this regard." When the Bronze Saints learned about the incident that occurred in the Sanctuary thirteen years ago, Marisbilly, who was sitting in the director's seat, looked at the items on the schedule in front of him that were customized for the future, and smiled and gave his own evaluation, "It is exactly the same as the original destiny."

"After all, I warned you - you weren't so obedient at first." Lanser-Mero added honey to the tea and sat on the sofa to watch the projection of the past Galactic War to play the next move of the Bronze Saints. "However, your evaluation like this always makes people feel bad."

"Haha, I don't mean anything else, Lord." Marinesberry smiled and shifted his attention to the projection of the battle scene. "By the way, Lord, will you go to Japan to collect the bodies of these Silver Saints in the future?"

"No, I asked Camus to collect the bodies. We just need to avoid the bronze saints and freeze the bodies of the silver saints in ice coffins." Lansemello took a sip of red tea and looked at the door of the office. "I spent more than two hundred years expanding Ereshkigal's underworld to the underground of Japan, so we only need to collect their bodies. Their souls will be automatically collected by Ereshkigal's underworld."

"But where should the bodies of these Silver Saints be placed?" Marisbilly asked Lansemello after looking at the previous report. "Before, the other Saints were basically hidden in the cemetery of the Sanctuary itself, and the previous generations of Gold Saints were hidden in their retreats - now these Silver Saints have nowhere to hide, right?"

"Throw them all into the British Courtyard," Lansemello replied. "It's going to be demolished next February anyway, so we might as well make the most of it."

"You simply don't want to care..." Marines Billy complained.

"Eighty-eight constellations, that's more than the population of Chaldea," Lansemello reminded Marisbilly.

"...This is not funny, Lord." Kirshtalia, who was standing by the window, turned around and looked at Lansemello, pointing out the fact, "Before Floros caused the control room explosion, Chaldea had at least three hundred people."

"To be precise, our staff is at least 250 people - after all, the Lord has 48 people." Olgamari, who was sitting behind the desk sorting out reports, joined the conversation. "But after so many years, we have actually become accustomed to Chaldea with only so few people - right?"

"You are right."

So everyone tacitly stopped talking about this topic and turned their attention back to the Bronze Saints of Japan - the Silver Saints sent by Saga were defeated one after another; so along with the message that Camus had completed the corpse collection and entered the base of Chaldea, the Sanctuary also sent the Gold Saints to assassinate Kido Saori according to the trajectory of fate.

Except for Saga, Aiolos, Aphrodite and Camus, the other current Gold Saints in the Sanctuary did not know the trajectory of their fate, the replacement of the Pope, and the exile of Athena. So Saga followed the established development and arranged for Milo and Eolia, who had volunteered to atone for his brother's false crime, to go to Japan to assassinate Kido Saori.

When Camus returned to the Sanctuary and stood in the Vatican again, it was already the end of January 1987. Saga had just used the Phantom Demon King Fist on Iolia to control his consciousness and sent Shaka and Aiolos out of the Vatican. Only then did Camus have time to take off the Triple Crown and catch his breath after casting a magic barrier to isolate himself from the outside world.

"Athena sent an email saying she will visit the Sanctuary in February." Saga, sitting on the Pope's throne, sighed while holding the triple crown in his hand, and looked at Camus standing in front of him, "The Battle of the Twelve Zodiacs is about to begin - our death is approaching. By the way, when will Teacher Shion and Aiolos return to the Sanctuary?"

"They should be back in the next few days." Camus replied to Saga, "They must appear in the Sanctuary as soon as possible after the Battle of the Zodiac. The magicians have other ways to hide their tracks and break through the Zodiac to the Pope's Hall and the Goddess Temple, but Teacher Shion must appear in front of the Goddess earlier, so he will be back in the next few days."

"After that, it will most likely stay at the Astrology Hill for a while - until those bronze saints break through the twelve zodiac signs."

"I understand." Saga put on the triple crown again and began to see the guests off. "Take care of yourself from now on - don't use His Majesty Asclepius's real medicine."

"You don't have to tell me. I'll pay attention to it." Camus threw off his cloak, removed the barrier set up in the Pope's Hall, and walked down. "After all, I'm looking forward to what kind of future we can fly to after we break free from the silk coffin woven by the goddess of fate with the thread of fate. Because my strength has been declining since 1979."

"I've seen higher views before."

Lancermello lifted the magic of the "court" set up in the mountains of Britain, and swept all the people and corpses out of the house. Kanon, who was taught a lesson by Dioscuri and the elders, was driven back to the sea realm currently managed by Amphitrite along with Elzak; Shion and Aiolos took the corpse preserved in the ice coffin back to the sanctuary, and after secretly hiding the ice coffin, the two hid in the astrology hill that Saga had prepared for them in advance.

"Let's go." When the Kido family's private plane took off for the Sanctuary with the Bronze Saints and Kido Saori in February 1987, Lansemello put down the teacup in his hand and calmly announced to everyone that the action had begun, "We should go to the Sanctuary - Kirsh and Olga will stay in the Vatican first, and I will follow the Bronze Saints through the Zodiac."

"As for William..."

"I'll go with them." William smiled and put on his hat, dressed up as the Lord of Crime in the past, and winked at the three people, "Didn't we agree before that this consortium would be returned to the Sanctuary? I also have to go and hand over to the Gold Saint of Aquarius."

So William used the magic of suggestion to lead Kirshtalia and Olgamari into the Papal Hall first - while Lancermello blended into the surrounding environment in the open space in front of the Aries Palace, watching the control room move the observation anchor point to the Greek Sanctuary while waiting for Kido Saori to appear with the Bronze Saints.

Every detail fits perfectly, and the gears of fate finally start turning - Sagitta's arrow hits Kido Saori's heart, providing the Bronze Saints with a perfect reason to break into the Twelve Zodiac Signs.

The countdown clock was lit, and only a few people who knew the situation were left in the Vatican. They rushed to confirm the details to prevent mistakes in subsequent actions. Shion carefully concealed his and Aiolos's inner world, lest Tonghu, who was far away at the Five Elders Peak of Lushan Mountain, suddenly realized that something was wrong and discovered the fact that he and Aiolos were still alive before Athena returned to the sanctuary.

Camus discussed with Saga the details of throwing Hyoga into Libra Palace and freezing him in an ice coffin; Aphrodite was forbidden by the members of the Chaldean side to use the Dagger Rose and the Bloody Rose enchanted by Camus based on the records - at that time in the Sea Realm, although Camus enchanted Aphrodite's Bloody Rose, he remembered Lancelomero's reminder and did not explain the detailed principles to Aphrodite, nor did he make more enchanted Bloody Roses for Aphrodite.

But the enchanted product in Aphrodite's hand was the Christmas gift Camus gave to Aphrodite last year. Under the elder's pestering, Camus could only make a cursed bloody rose for Aphrodite in the name of a gift to stop Pisces from pestering him without caring about his face.

"Wait until the first flame is extinguished before leaving?" Saga looked at the fire clock in the distance and confirmed the next arrangements with everyone, "They must stay in Aries Palace for an hour - Mu must repair their holy clothes before letting them pass, and he must also teach them the difference between the Gold Saints and the Bronze Saints..."

"I really want to take Mu directly to Teacher Shiang - his hostility towards me is too obvious!"

"You deserve this." Kirshtalia leaned against the wall of the Vatican with a smile, "Even if Shion is still alive now, you did kill him--"

"I know how to answer this question." Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had connected the communication line to Kirshtalia from the control room, smiled and whipped the corpse of a witch descendant who had been dead for a long time and a demon pillar who was so blind that he didn't recognize his own king after ten years of seeing him. "Even if senior Kirshtalia was still alive, the fact that we hate that witch's son would not change - just like now that Director Mary is alive, we will not give up any opportunity to enslave Floros."

"I'll go down first - you can't use teleportation inside the sanctuary, so I'll have to spend some time walking to Libra." Camus patted his white cloak and left the Papal Palace first. "After all, we're teleporting directly from the Gemini Palace to the Libra Palace - considering the speed at which they pass through the first two palaces, it's better for me to go down early and wait."

"Then I'll go down later." Aphrodite sat down on the floor of the Vatican, looking in the direction of the Fire Clock. "This is not a holy war, so I don't need to lead the battle line at the front like my predecessors did. I just need to cover the last step with Royal Magic Palace roses, and then go to fight Andromeda."

"Ah... speaking of Andromeda." Olgamari smacked her palm and looked at Aphrodite who was sitting on the ground. "The Lord said you'd better be careful. Andromeda is the flesh and blood that Hades has chosen this time. Just don't bring out Hades's microcosm - the Lord said she doesn't want to raid Hades' underworld to rob people again."
