Chapter 187 - 94: Camus’s Helplessness, the Missing Cloth! (Part 1)

Chapter 187: Chapter 94: Camus’s Helplessness, the Missing Cloth! (Part 1)

Hades, the King of the Underworld, had not yet resurrected, but the Sea God had awakened first. This sudden change gave Saga, the newly appointed Pope, quite a headache.

He stood before the window of the Pope’s Chamber, looking at the lingering clouds and mist at the peak of the sacred mountain, his fingertips unconsciously tapping against the back of his chair.

Only ten seats of the Gold Saints remained. If they went to war with the Mariners, it was truly hard to predict how many Gold Saints would be left when the Specters of Hades arrived.

The personality currently occupying the body was the Blue Saga. Although Athena was not fond of him, a heart loyal to the Goddess still prompted him to ring the great bell of the Pope’s Chamber.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The deep tolling of the bell echoed through the Sanctuary, penetrating the barriers of the Twelve Zodiac Temples and reaching the ears of every Gold Saint.

Although the Gold Saints were filled with doubts, they quickly set aside their tasks and gathered at the Pope’s Chamber.

Saga scanned the room and found that only Shaka of the Virgo Temple had not appeared. The other Gold Saints were all present. His blue eyes flickered slightly beneath his mask.

"I just received a plea for help from Hyoga. The Sea God Poseidon has awakened, and Athena has fallen into his hands. The five Bronze Saints are currently fighting a bloody battle and are requesting support from the Sanctuary!"

As soon as the name of the Sea God Poseidon was mentioned, the pupils of the Gold Saints in the hall contracted slightly. Naturally, they had all heard the old Pope Shion speak of the history of the great war between the Saints and the Mariners.

Mu frowned slightly, his long hair falling over his shoulders.

"Wasn’t it said that it would take at least another two hundred years for the Sea God Poseidon to awaken?"

Capricorn Shura revealed his Excalibur, sneering.

"Why think so much? Let me go! I’ll cleave the ocean in two with a single strike and let them taste the power of a Gold Saint!"

Taurus Aldebaran cracked his knuckles loudly, veins bulging on his thick arms.

"Let me go! Last time I had to hold back while fighting those little brats, and I’ve been holding onto a ball of fire in my heart for a long time!"

Saga’s voice echoed through the Pope’s hall, carrying unquestionable authority.

"We cannot. Hades is about to resurrect. If we go to war with the Mariners now, casualties will be inevitable. When the Holy War begins, what will we use to protect the safety of the human realm?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Have you thought about it? If Hades takes the opportunity to invade the Sanctuary, the Goddess’s Scepter of Nike, Aegis Shield, and Divine Cloth are all here. If they are lost, this Holy War will be defeated without even a fight!"

The hearts of the many Gold Saints chilled. It was indeed as Saga said; the very existence of the Twelve Zodiac Temples was to block the invasion of the Specters.

If they mobilized their entire force and the Specters took the opportunity to attack, there would be absolutely no one to stop them.

"Then what do you propose we do? We can’t just watch helplessly!"

Aldebaran, who had the most impatient temper, couldn’t help but roar.

Saga’s eyes flickered as he slowly spoke.

"We cannot ignore this matter, nor can we all go. We can send a maximum of three Gold Saints."

"Next, those whose names I call, please step forward!"

"Shura, Aphrodite, Camus!"

Camus had a dumbfounded look on his face, his mouth slightly open.

’Ah? Why send me?’

Saga saw the doubt in Camus’s heart and smiled.

"Before Alex left, he instructed me that if Athena was in danger, I could send you to rescue her."

"He has already entrusted the heavy responsibility of guarding the Aquarius Temple to you. You two are rare Aquarius twin companions, and your strength is virtually on par with his. Moreover, when fighting Mariners, your ice abilities are exactly their natural counter!"

This time, it wasn’t just Camus; the rest of the Gold Saints also widened their eyes, looking at Saga in disbelief.

The meaning conveyed in their eyes at this moment was crystal clear.
