Chapter 335 Beginning

"Is there any news from Ikki?"

"No, there was no reply from the Sanctuary."

Unlike the amiable old man who appeared in front of the Bronze Saints before, Mitsumasa Kido showed a slightly sad expression in private.

Although Mitsumasa Kido had already anticipated that this would happen when the Hyakuko Project was launched - a child would betray Saori.

But now we really have to lose a child, and he is also a child who has obtained the Bronze Saint Cloth.

The pain in my heart is still a little bit sour.

"Regret it?"

Luke asked.

Kido Mitsumasa shook his head.

regret?

Of course I don’t regret it!

Mitsumasa Kido knew what kind of consequences the Hyakuko Project would have.

However, for Athena and Saori, this plan must go ahead.

All sacrifices are worth it.

When he was able to be ruthless and send a hundred illegitimate children around the world to practice hard under the saints, he was already prepared for the entire plan to collapse.

And so far, only one Saint, Ikki, has chosen to rebel.

This huge gamble was his victory, Mitsumasa Kido!

The responsibility for the Hyakuko Project will also be borne by Mitsumasa Kido alone.

The old man Kido looked determined.

In his opinion, most of the Bronze Saints sent to training around the world responded to his call.

Even if there are unexpected situations, such as the Glacier of White Bird Constellation, which has some things to deal with and will be late, they still agree to come.

Only Ikki from the Phoenix constellation has not been found.

Where to go, personal wishes, current location, they know nothing.

Mitsumasa Kido had already asked the Sanctuary before, but the Sanctuary simply replied, "Ikki has obtained the Saint Cloth of the Phoenix and completed the training of the Saint."

But where did the people go after that?

There was no reply from the Sanctuary.

Under such circumstances, it is not an exaggeration for Mitsumasa Kido to regard Ikki as a traitor.

Although the real rebel is actually Hyoga of the White Bird Constellation.

Of course, judging from the results, both of them can actually be treated as traitors.

Baitori's Hyoga just followed the Pope's instructions to deal with the nine Bronze Saints who came to participate in the competition.

And Ikki wanted to completely destroy the Kido Consortium!

Six years ago, because he was worried about the safety of his younger brother Shun, who was drawn to the Death Queen Island, he came to the Death Queen Island instead of Shun to receive training as a Saint.

Ikki's Saint teacher is Gu Ludi, this is a heavyweight figure, even darker than the Dark Saint.

Declaring to Ikki, who was still a passionate man back then, "As long as you can't cultivate hatred, you can't become stronger."

Originally, the old man used the devil training model to make Ikki feel pain, understand pain, and master pain.

But what the old man didn't expect was that during six years of devilish practice, Ikki was still unable to "hate".

Gu Ludi, an old man with an abnormal brain circuit, thought for a while and asked Ikki to punch him in order to let Ikki understand what "hatred" was.

Then when Ikki hesitated, he punched him and directly killed Ikki's true love, Ai Sherman.

It is worth mentioning that Aisheman is not only Ikki's true love, but also Gu Ludi's daughter.

This punch indeed succeeded in inspiring Ikki's hatred for the world.

At the same time, Gu Ludi, a bad old man, also died at the hands of an angry Ikki.

Gu Ludi deliberately ignited Ikki's shocked anger and told him his true identity.

He is the son of Mitsumasa Kido, and everything he experienced was caused by Mitsumasa Kido, the source of evil.

If Mitsumasa Kido had not sent him here, he would not have been unable to awaken the power of the small universe after six years of training, and he would not have lost his beloved Ai Sherman, let alone his younger brother.

Therefore, everything is Kido Mitsumasa's fault!

This idea finally made Ikki's hatred go out of control, and he decided to use the power of the Phoenix Constellation for revenge-to destroy everything and everyone related to Mitsumasa Kido!

Whether it is the Gurado Foundation, the hundreds of orphans with Mitsumasa's bloodline, or Mitsumasa Kido, all these evils should disappear from this world!

As the saying goes, being black is three times stronger than being white, and being white is three times weaker.

Ikki, who harbors hatred, becomes the strongest Bronze Saint.

Even Seiya today is no match for Ikki.

However, if there are some super-standard guys involved, Ikki's power will not be enough.

"Do you want me to take action?"

Luke asked next.

Kido Mitsumasa thought for a long time and finally shook his head.

"No, when he shows up on his own initiative, it is impossible for the Sanctuary to send him alone to act."

Ikki may not be alone.

But the only power they can rely on is Luke.

The rest of the Bronze Saints were just young people who were just starting out. Mitsumasa Kido was a little worried about handing Saori over to them.

"The arena competition will be held as normal. I will send someone here to supervise the show. Luke, please protect Saori."

Kido Mitsumasa thought for a while.

Rather than caring about his personal safety, Saori's safety was more important.

He can die, but Saori cannot.

That child, even if there was an order from the Sanctuary, he definitely wanted to resolve his personal grudges first.

If something goes wrong, he can delay for a while so that Luke can carry Saori and run away.

"You are the president, you have the final say." Luke shrugged, "But be careful, Saori will have no one to take care of you if you die."

Hearing this, Kido Mitsumasa smiled.

Nothing more was said.

A few years of getting along is enough for a world-class rich man to see clearly what kind of guy a person is.

He said he gave up on becoming a Saint and indulged in the extravagance of modern society, but privately he never gave up on physical training.

He said he didn't want to get involved with the Saints, but when he learned Saori's true identity, he resolutely chose to stay.

He may not be the most loyal Saint, but he is definitely an excellent Saint.

If he really died at the hands of his son, Mitsumasa Kido believed that Luke would handle the funeral properly and try his best to clear the road ahead for Saori.

"By the way, Glacier may also have some problems."

Luke thought for a moment and finally spoke.

Don't expect them to stop Ikki and forget about Hyoga, the true traitor of the Sanctuary.

"?"

Kido Mitsumasa looked puzzled.

"Except for a few powerful private Saints in the Arctic Ocean, they are not very willing to obey the orders of figures such as the Pope and the Chief of Staff of the Holy Domain, but most of them are still willing to obey the orders."

"It's very possible that Glacier had contact with them."

Luke explains why.

Private Saints are subordinate to the staff and are served by people with certain combat capabilities. They are the product of Saga's efforts to consolidate his rule after pretending to be the Pope.

In order to take advantage of them, Saga granted them the title of Saint Seiya and created an armor for them similar to the Holy Cloth.

Although there is no guardian constellation, some private saints are no less powerful than regular saints.

He is considered a loyal lackey under Saga.

Kido Mitsumasa showed a look of understanding on his face and nodded.

"I'll pay attention."

The next day, night.

The venue for the Galaxy Arena.

When you raise your head, you can see a bright starry sky. Against the backdrop of the starry sky, the Galaxy Arena venue looks even more majestic, as if it is a sacred place connecting the human world and the universe.

Thousands of spectators sat in the terraced stands, waiting for the game to begin.

Before the Kido Group made the announcement, most ordinary people did not know the existence of the Saints, nor did they know how terrifying their power was.

In other words, in the eyes of many people, their world is an ordinary materialistic world.

However, it was not until the Kido Foundation made the truth known to the public.

Only then did everyone realize that there was extraordinary power in this world.

It turns out that gods are real!

This is also the reason why Binghe did not refuse the mission assigned by the Pope to eliminate Seiya and others.

They exposed the existence of the Saints.

"So beautiful."

Some viewers stared at the starry sky and sighed subconsciously.

"Wait, what do you think that is?"

"She is the daughter of the Kido Group!"

Kido Saori was floating in mid-air, wearing a pure white robe, as if woven from the purest clouds. The robe was embroidered with golden patterns, and she wore an exquisite golden crown. Her face was beautiful and holy.

Her skin is as white and delicate as snow, as if it could be broken by a blow. Her face is chiseled, her eyebrows are as dark as distant daisies, her slightly raised eyes reveal tenderness and firmness, and her long purple hair falls like a waterfall on her shoulders and back, each strand The hair is shining with divine light.

Even though Saori was only thirteen years old at this time, the glory of the goddess had already begun to shine.

She is Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.

"Everyone, welcome to Guladu Arena today. As the organizer, I, Kido Saori, sincerely welcome you all, as you all know."

Originally, most people came here to see the power of the Saints, not to listen to a long speech by a little girl.

However, when they saw the superior Saori Kido, they all held their breath and listened patiently to Saori's explanation.

No game, no Saint Seiya, can compare to this thirteen-year-old Saori Kido.

Although it was just a speech given by the reincarnation of Athena, in a sense, it should be regarded as an oracle.

Luke hugged his shoulders and stood on the VIP table, looking at Saori.

His mental power has enveloped the entire arena. As long as there is any abnormality, Luke can ensure that he will appear next to Saori in an instant.

Although in the original plot, there were no abnormal events in the previous games, but now with Luke's participation and the fact that Old Man Kido is still alive, who knows if Saga will change his mind.

"Then, the first game of the Galaxy Arena, Pegasus Saint Seiya versus Ursa Major Saint Seiya, starts now!"

Saori sat down on the VIP seat with a cold face, but his voice reached everyone's ears.

Has Saori like this not awakened the power of the small universe?

Luke glanced at Kido Saori, a little suspicious.

Saori seemed to be aware of Luke's gaze, or maybe she happened to want to say something to Luke, so she turned her face and the two looked at each other.

Saori was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Luke, what's wrong?"

She knew that this game would most likely attract the attention of the Sanctuary.

So Luke looked like he had discovered something unusual at the scene?

You used to call me "Mr. Luke".

Luke muttered to himself, but kept a smile on his face and shook his head.

"Miss Saori, I'm just a little curious, who do you think will win this game?"

He changed the subject.

He couldn't tell Athena's plan in his heart. Luke was sure that he could wear the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, and it was most likely Saori's "credit".

Saori's smile remained.

"I don't know, but I think it should be Seiya."

It should be Seiya.

With your words, it becomes "definitely Seiya".

Luke muttered in his heart.

Regarding the reincarnation of the goddess, Luke has always maintained a cautious attitude. He can't get too close to her, which makes it easy to be dragged into the army, and he can't be too far away, otherwise no one will take care of her if she dies.

After so many years of being unruly in the Kido Group, he originally wanted to use this method to avoid suspicion and reduce contact with Saori.

However, when the Sagittarius Gold Cloth was put on.

There are some things that he has to do even if he doesn't want to.

Saint Seiya must fight for the goddess.

This is an inevitable choice.

After all, after putting on the holy clothes, who cares about your personal wishes? You just fight people when you see them, and you burn your little universe when you see people.

After fighting the twelve zodiac signs, fight the god of death and the god of sleep. After fighting the god of death and the god of sleep, fight Hades again. After fighting Hades, fight again.

Wearing this skin means a lifetime of hard work.

If you are lucky, you may be able to stay for a few hundred years out of hundreds of millions of years.

If you are unlucky, you will probably only see him on the road to the underworld. From time to time, you will be called back to the world by Athena to fight with the new generation of Saint Seiya and squeeze the last potential of your soul.

Until you are squeezed dry and completely die.

As for betrayal?

Where can he go after betrayal?

This is not a world under one person. If it doesn't work, you can go to a foreign country to eat donuts.

In the world of Saint Seiya, the will of the gods is everywhere.

Even if a Saint Seiya like him escapes from the "black hand" of Athena, he will be favored by other gods.

Either become a vessel for the gods to descend to the world, or become a warrior under the gods.

Luke has no choice.

Besides, instead of following other gods and being beaten up by the Saints under Athena, it is better to follow Athena directly and become the largest "evil gang" in Olympus.

Only if the talent is high enough and the time to comprehend the eighth and ninth senses is fast enough, the burning life will never catch up with the increase in life.

Seiya can defeat the gods. How can he, the Saint Seiya Luke who shared countless Luke's talents, be inferior to a former protagonist?

Thinking of this, Luke nodded.

"Miss Saori is right. Seiya is indeed very likely to win this game."

Well. Seiya and him are just the protagonists of humans after all.

But this world is the stage of the gods.

Before he broke Athena's thigh, he, Luke, was a Saint Seiya under Athena for his entire life! (End of this chapter)
