Chapter 239: Chapter 120: Contacting the Sea God, Alex’s Abilities! Part 2

’’Hyoga, I need you to make a trip to the city of Atlantis to ask for the Sea God’s assistance in protecting the Earth. From now on, you will be the liaison between the Sanctuary and the Sea God. The alliance was signed by your Teacher, and your senior brother Isaac is a Sea General. The Sea God will certainly look upon you favorably.’’

’Yes, Your Divine Majesty!’

Hyoga accepted the order in a deep voice, but his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Saga.

Saga’s twin brother, Kanon, was the Sea Dragon General. When it came to connections with the Sea God, Saga was clearly the more suitable choice.

Saga naturally noticed Hyoga’s gaze. Having learned from Shura and Camus that Kanon had escaped and become a Mariner, he already had his own plans in mind.

He took a step forward, bowed, and requested the mission.

’’Lord Athena, I am willing to accompany Hyoga to assist in discussing the matter of protecting the Earth.’’

Athena’s gaze remained unruffled as she gave a slight nod.

’’Granted.’’

Having arranged this matter, she turned to all the Saints and spoke clearly.

"Everyone must hasten your training and awaken the Eighth Sense as soon as possible. When Alex returns, that will be the day we invade the Underworld!’’

"Yes, Your Divine Majesty!"

The Saints replied in unison before dispersing one after another, leaving Athena standing alone at the peak of the Holy Mountain.

She gazed in the direction of the mortal realm and let out a faint sigh.

In truth, making the Saints awaken the Eighth Sense was not a difficult task for her; she merely needed to utilize her divine power as a Goddess. But she didn’t dare to.

Once she led the Saints to fight their way into the Underworld, how should they handle the subsequent situations?

How would they break through the Underworld’s jailers and completely seal Hades?

She had absolutely no clue about these questions in her heart.

Only at this moment did she realize that the prior orderliness of the Sanctuary had entirely relied on Alex coordinating behind the scenes.

When Shion was the Pope, she never had to worry about these things.

But now, with Alex gone, she actually felt completely at a loss.

She tried to use her divine sense to call out to Alex, but received no response.

A hint of hidden resentment flashed in Athena’s eyes.

"Alex, where in the world are you?"

...

Deep within the dark Batcave, the sound of dripping water was the only background noise, and the stagnant air was suffocating.

Alex watched as Bruce Wayne painstakingly assembled a complete computer from a pile of scrap and connected it to the private database hanging around his neck.

The former Gotham Knight had half his face hidden in the faint blue reflection of the console screen, while the other half was completely submerged in shadow.

Alex couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth rise. ’As expected. I knew it. Bruce Wayne is absolutely not someone so easily defeated by fate.’

Superman leaving him alive might have been an attempt to repeatedly humiliate him and make his life worse than death. However, he didn’t realize that, unknowingly, he had planted a ticking time bomb for himself.

"First, tell me about your abilities. If we want to defeat that man, we must be fully prepared..."

Having numbed himself with alcohol all these days, Bruce’s body was long since decaying.

As he spoke, there was a sluggishness in his voice, as if he were forcing down immense pain.

He raised his head and stared into Alex’s eyes.

"When referring to that man, do not say his name or alias. Always refer to him as that man. Any words spoken with malicious intent towards him might be sensed by him."

Alex nodded. As a transmigrator, he understood Superman even better than Bruce Wayne did.

Superman’s super hearing was indeed extraordinary; he could hear his girlfriend calling for help amidst countless chaotic noises.

"My abilities... how should I put it..."
