Chapter 238 - 120 Contacting the Sea God, Alex’s Abilities! Part 1

Chapter 238: Chapter 120 Contacting the Sea God, Alex’s Abilities! Part 1

The wind at the peak of the Holy Mountain carried a chill, swirling Saori Kido’s white skirt.

Looking down at the mortal realm enveloped in black fog, a trace of hesitation flashed through her violet eyes.

Invade the Underworld? This proposal was like a sharp thorn piercing her heart.

She knew better than anyone that Hades had unleashed Divine Extinction to force the Saints to voluntarily give up their home-field advantage and step into the traps of the Underworld.

Once the Saints left the Sanctuary, there was absolutely no way the Sea God Poseidon would send his Mariners to die alongside them.

When that time came, the Saints would be completely isolated and helpless.

Although at this moment, the combat power under her command was indeed unprecedentedly strong: ten of the twelve Gold Saints remained, and adding Camus, an extra member, there were fully eleven of them.

The five Bronze Saints had been thoroughly reborn through several fierce battles, their strength now comparable to that of Gold Saints.

Calculating it all, she had a total of sixteen Saints with Gold-level combat power, which included Shaka, who had awakened the Eighth Sense, the unfathomably powerful Dohko, and Alex, who could rival the Sea God.

Yet, behind this formidable strength lay unspeakable hidden dangers.

Athena’s gaze swept across the Gold Saints present, from Shaka’s calm profile to Saga’s tense jaw, and then to Aiolia’s burning eyes.

She could clearly perceive that there was not one hundred percent conviction towards her in their eyes.

Especially Saga, the newly appointed Pope; deep in his eyes, a trace of scrutiny regarding power always remained hidden.

As for Shaka, his Cosmo approached that of gods; it was more like he was following his conviction to protect the earth rather than an absolute loyalty to her as a Goddess.

More crucially, Alex was not present.

The strongest Gold Saint, who had single-handedly forced the Sea God to sign an alliance treaty, was nowhere to be found at this moment, and his attitude was even more unclear.

To rashly invade the Underworld would be no different from falling right into Hades’ trap.

The perils of the Underworld far exceeded imagination. Without the blessing of the Eighth Sense, even someone as strong as a Gold Saint would be no different from throwing their life away.

"No!"

Athena slowly shook her head. Her voice was calm yet carried unquestionable majesty.

"To attack the Underworld at this time is to throw ourselves into the net. None of you are to act rashly; everything will wait until Alex returns."

As her words fell, even she was somewhat surprised. Unknowingly, she had actually developed a reliance on Alex.

She had even decided that when she saw Alex again, she would have a deep talk with him. As long as she could gain his full support, she was confident in winning this Holy War and perhaps even sealing Hades away forever.

"But, Miss Saori!"

Aiolia couldn’t help but step forward, his golden hair fluttering in the wind. The Leo Saints throughout history had the most righteous personalities, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.

"If we don’t take the initiative to attack, the casualties in the mortal realm will only grow more and more severe!"

The other Gold Saints also nodded in agreement. They had received Shion’s teachings since childhood.

The conviction to protect the Goddess and the Earth had long been carved into their very bones.

Now that Hades was ignoring the covenant of the gods and wantonly harvesting souls in the mortal realm, how could they just sit back and do nothing?

Meeting everyone’s gazes, Athena’s tone remained calm.

"To enter the Underworld, one must awaken the Eighth Sense; otherwise, you will lose all your strength and be at the mercy of others. Besides Alex, who else among you has awakened the Eighth Sense?"

These words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the crowd’s urgency.

The Eighth Sense, Alaya Vijnana, the threshold to the domain of the gods.

They had only seen it recorded in the Sanctuary’s ancient texts, yet no one had ever known the method to awaken it.

The Gold Saints all widened their eyes simultaneously as a single thought exploded in their minds: When did Alex awaken the Eighth Sense?

This guy, without making a sound, had actually already stepped ahead of everyone else!

Hyoga clenched his fists, his blue eyes filled with admiration and excitement.

’As expected of Master! He always surpasses everyone!’

Athena looked at Hyoga, a trace of coldness flashing through her eyes.
