Chapter 374: Chapter 188: The Unbreakable Wailing Wall, Athena’s Resolve! (Part 2)

From the moment the Gold Saints began their attack, to the eruption of the Libra weapons, and finally to this moment of complete failure, he had maintained that same unruffled demeanor.

His gaze was profound, his expression placid... It was as if he were waiting for something.

Alex’s expression had already made his stance clear.

This was also his silent refusal. Alex was explicitly stating: I will not make a move, nor will I attempt to shake this wall.

Alex’s silence was like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the last spark of hope in the Gold Saints’ hearts.

They could understand his silence; rather than making a doomed and futile effort, it was better to do nothing at all.

After all, Alex was the strongest Gold Saint of the current era. If even he failed, the Sanctuary’s morale would plummet drastically...

Just as the atmosphere of despair was about to solidify into something tangible...

"Everyone..."

Athena, clad in her God Cloth that radiated a golden brilliance and holding the staff of the Goddess of Victory, slowly walked up to the Wailing Wall.

With her back to the crowd, she raised her head to directly face that despairing barrier. Her silhouette was slender, yet incomparably resolute.

Then, she slowly turned around. Her long purple hair fluttered slightly amidst the fluctuations of divine power as her gaze swept across the faces of every Gold Saint.

Dohko, Saga, Kanon, Aiolia, Mu, Milo, Aldebaran, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, Shaka...

Her gaze carried a deep apology, as well as an indescribable heaviness.

"I understand the cruelty of this battle..."

Her voice echoed clearly before the Wailing Wall, carrying a barely imperceptible tremble.

"But the Wailing Wall is formed from the despair of dead souls over billions of years; it is impregnable. Only by gathering the full power of the twelve current Gold Saints, burning everything to ashes, and relying on the Gold Cloths, is there a sliver of a chance to pierce through it!"

Athena heavily struck her staff against the ground. A sacred radiance enveloped all the Saints present, and an indescribable sensation instantly affected everyone there!

This sensation did not act upon their physical bodies, but pointed directly at the very core of their souls—the True Spirit that represented the origin of life and the root of a Saint’s power!

"For love and justice on earth, to end this eternal cycle..."

Athena’s voice suddenly rose, carrying an unquestionable resolve.

"This is... the final Holy War! For the earth to return to the light, my warriors, burn your Cosmos!"

The staff of the Goddess of Victory erupted with an unprecedented, dazzling light.

Athena’s figure appeared incomparably sacred within the light.

The Cosmos of the twelve Gold Saints broke through the darkness of the Underworld. Before the Wailing Wall, they were like twelve blazing suns!

Alex sneered coldly as he slowly walked forward.

He knew that Athena intended to use the sacrifice of the twelve current Gold Saints as the price to pierce the Wailing Wall—the only chance to end the Holy War!

At this moment, Camus felt as if his entire body was on fire. Endless power surged from the depths of his soul!

He couldn’t help but roar at the top of his lungs.

"Aaaahhh!"

Smack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a large hand firmly gripped his shoulder. An icy current surged into his body, and Camus gradually calmed down. He looked back in confusion, only to be met with Alex’s handsome, aloof face.

"Alex, what are you doing?"

Alex met Camus’s blue eyes calmly and said flatly,

"Camus, do you remember what I told you when we were kids?"

Crack!

Camus’s frozen memories were instantly awakened...
