Chapter 217 - 109: Alliance between sea and land Part 1

Chapter 217: Chapter 109: Alliance between sea and land Part 1

Above the ruins of the city of Atlantis, the seawater stagnated due to the two tyrannical Cosmos.

Alex was clad in the Aquarius Divine Cloth, the holy bands of light behind him fluttering in the wind, with ice crystal light dust flowing around his body.

Poseidon held the Golden Trident, indigo divine light lingering around him, and the residual power of his divine domain still vibrating in the deep sea.

The two faced each other mid-air, their imposing auras ebbing and flowing. Golden and blue lights intertwined in the sky, forming a distinctly divided boundary.

To everyone’s surprise, Alex did not attack again.

He fell silent for a moment, a flash of calculation passing through his black eyes. He then raised an eyebrow, his voice flat yet carrying unquestionable power.

"Do you still want to fight, Poseidon?"

As his words fell, a brief silence descended upon the deep sea.

Everyone could feel that the collision between the Elegy of the Oceans and the World-Destroying Divine Thunder had already triggered the planetary protection covenant established by the ancient gods.

If the fierce battle continued, Alex and Poseidon might be able to survive as god-level powerhouses, but the Saints, Mariners, and even all living beings on the planet would be heavily devastated by the aftershocks.

The city of Atlantis might even completely sink to the bottom of the sea, destroyed in a single battle.

Alex knew clearly in his heart that even if he could defeat Poseidon, he could at most seal him again.

He had not yet mastered the power to completely obliterate these gods.

More importantly, Poseidon was not the sworn enemy of the Saints.

Compared to Athena ruling the earth, at least the people of the ocean were still living beings.

But if it were Hades, the King of the Underworld, the earth would be swallowed by the Underworld, and all living creatures would be turned into the undead. This was an outcome that Poseidon, who viewed the ocean as his own divine domain, could absolutely never accept.

"You should know clearly that Hades is about to return!"

Alex paused, his gaze sweeping over the heavily injured crowd below, his tone gaining a bit more solemnity.

"I do not want to waste our strength in meaningless internal strife, and..."

He looked at Poseidon, a hint of frankness in his eyes.

"Your divine power has not even recovered to a tenth of its full strength. Even if I were to defeat you, it would be an unfair victory."

"Hmph!"

Poseidon gave a cold snort, complex divine light flashing through his golden eyes.

He could clearly feel that right now, the intensity of the Cosmo of Alex, who was wearing the Divine Cloth, was almost on par with his own.

From ancient times to the present, he had never seen a Saint grow to this extent.

Poseidon subconsciously turned his head to look at Saori Kido, who was still frozen inside the Main Pillar, thinking to himself.

This generation’s Athena seemed weak, yet she was able to train such a powerful subordinate. She was indeed a bit more scheming than her predecessors.

If they truly continued fighting, and another Gold Saint on par with Alex were to appear, by then...

Moreover, what Alex said was correct. If he and Athena fought until both were mutually wounded, the one to profit would be his older brother, Hades.

Ultimately, Poseidon’s tight grip on the trident loosened slightly.

Inside the Main Pillar, the ice crystals freezing Saori Kido suddenly shattered explosively, pouring out as freezing seawater.

Saori Kido’s delicate body went limp. With her face as pale as paper, she collapsed onto the cold ground.

"Miss Saori!"

Seiya cried out in alarm and rushed forward, carefully helping her up. With trembling fingertips, he checked her breathing. Only after confirming she was still breathing did he let out a sigh of relief.

Alex’s expression remained unchanged. Saori Kido wouldn’t die; her life was even more tenacious than those of the five Bronze Saints.

Taking advantage of Seiya and the others being busy attending to Saori Kido, he sent a telepathic message to Poseidon.

"Sea God, could we step aside for a chat?"

Poseidon’s expression did not change. He remained silent for a moment before finally giving a slight nod.

Golden shields lit up around both of them simultaneously. Divine runes circulated on the shields, isolating them from all prying eyes and divine senses.

Alex slowly began to speak.

"On behalf of the Goddess Athena and all the Saints, I propose an alliance with the Mariners to jointly resist Hades, the King of the Underworld!"
