Chapter 219: Chapter 110: Commanding the Seven Seas, Killing Superman! Part 1

Facing everyone’s doubtful gazes, Poseidon’s expression remained unchanged. He furrowed his brows slightly and gave a subtle nod.

Although he did not speak, it was a tacit admission that Alex’s words were not false!

It... it’s true...

The tense bodies of the Sea Generals instantly relaxed.

Kanon gritted his teeth. The conspiracy he had painstakingly plotted had dissolved into nothingness like a mere joke in front of Alex.

Hyoga stared intently at Alex with his ice-blue eyes. Half with emotion and half with a sigh, he said to Isaac, "Senior brother, we still have much to learn from teacher. Whether it is his strength or his methods, his title as the strongest Saint of the current era was not earned by martial prowess alone!"

Isaac nodded subconsciously. His knees felt slightly weak, and he felt as if he had returned to the days of being trained by Alex.

Even though he was now honored as the Kraken Mariner, one of the seven great Sea Generals under the Sea God, nothing had changed in the slightest.

His teacher was still just as powerful, unfathomable, and invincible. He couldn’t see any possibility of ever catching up to his teacher’s footsteps.

No one knew that at this moment, Alex’s heart was far from calm.

When the Divine Cloth awakened just now, Athena’s divine blood not only repaired the Cloth but also healed his injuries.

Athena’s divine blood had completely penetrated into the depths of his soul.

Alex saw a cluster of golden true spirit within his soul.

The true spirit took the form of a naked miniature figure, entirely bound by golden threads of light. After the divine blood was injected into the true spirit, the golden divine power spread throughout his entire body like a network of veins. His physical and mental strength, which had been exhausted from the fierce battle, were instantly fully restored.

Alex instantly realized that this cluster of golden true spirit was the exact shackle that Athena left in the soul of every Saint.

It would be fine if left dormant, but once activated, it could completely control the Saint’s will, forcing them to sacrifice everything for Athena, even if it meant burning their very souls.

No wonder when the Wailing Wall needed to be shattered in the future, even the soul of the deceased Deathmask had to return from the Underworld to the Wailing Wall to burn his soul away entirely.

Alex tried to use his Soul Power to purify this cluster of light, only to find that the golden true spirit had long since merged completely with his own soul, becoming inseparable!

This meant that although he had become much stronger, he still hadn’t broken free from Athena’s control.

’Time... I need more time.’

Alex’s mind was as clear as a mirror.

He had to delay the moment of the final decisive battle against the King of the Underworld.

If he couldn’t find a way to break this deadlock in the Saint Seiya world...

...then he would seek opportunities in other reincarnated worlds.

For example, the world of Bleach, which specialized in souls, where his student, the Soul King Ade, might be able to help with his soul issue.

Or perhaps the multiverse-level gods of the DC and Marvel universes, or an artifact on the level of the Infinity Stones would be useful to him.

The Soul Stone, in particular, might be able to resolve the hidden danger deep within his soul.

Alex took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, and looked calmly at the crowd.

"Hades’ Underworld Army is about to awaken, and the danger is already imminent. From today onward, Saints and Mariners must put aside their prejudices and prepare for battle together."

"Shura, Aphrodite, Camus, the three of you will escort Saori Kido back to the Sanctuary and inform Saga to make all necessary preparations. The forces of the Underworld are interfering behind the scenes of this matter!"

Shura and Aphrodite’s gazes flickered. The two simultaneously bowed their heads and replied.

"Yes!"

Camus clenched his fists, his gaze sweeping over the Aquarius Divine Cloth. Finally, he too bowed his head and said in a low voice.

"Yes..."

"Seiya, Hyoga, you guys should also head to the Sanctuary together. Find Mr. Mu to repair your damaged Cloths, hone your strength, and prepare to welcome the Holy War!"

The Bronze Saints responded loudly.

"Yes, Lord Alex!"

Following Alex’s arrangements, the many Saints began to leave the scene in an orderly manner.

The Sea God Poseidon stood off to the side, watching all of this unfold.
