Chapter 526: Leo vs. Pisces, Tonghu attacks the Pope

Mu and Shaka can wait, but Aiolia can't.

This is not only a problem of his own personality, but also has something to do with his brother.

He was eager to clear his brother's name, and he would do anything to do so, including being ordered by the Pope to kill the Bronze Saints who had betrayed the Goddess.

Although he knew very well that this was wrong, he couldn't care less.

However, attacking Sensei Dohko was too much. The Gold Saints were not allowed to engage in civil wars. This was a rule set by the Goddess Athena herself. But now the Pope was taking the lead in violating the Goddess's rules, which was totally unacceptable to Aiolia.

Even though he now desperately wanted to overturn his brother's verdict, he would not easily abandon the goddess's admonitions.

So he wanted to find the Pope and ask him what he was planning to do.

He soon arrived outside the Pope's Palace and was about to step in when a figure blocked his way.

"Aiolia."

The person who came was also wearing a golden robe and holding a red rose in his mouth. He looked so handsome that he didn't look like a man.

"Aphrodite."

Aiolia frowned slightly.

Standing in front of him was none other than the Gold Saint of Pisces, the twelfth sign of the Zodiac.

"What are you going to do?"

Aphrodite asked softly, holding a rose in his mouth.

"I want to see the Pope."

"The Pope has other things to do. You cannot enter the Pope's Palace unless he summons you. As the Saint closest to the Pope, it is my duty to keep watch on this matter for him."

Aphrodite chuckled, took a step forward, and officially stood in front of Aiolia.

"Aphrodite, I want to ask the Pope a few questions. Move aside and don't force me to fight you."

"You haven't forgotten the goddess's admonition, have you? If you dare to take action here, you are a traitor to the goddess!"

Aphrodite raised his hand and put on his helmet, looking at Aiolia at the bottom of the stairs, and finished him off without mercy.

The word traitor was too harsh for Aiolia.

It would have been better if Aphrodite hadn't said it, but his words completely touched Aiolia's sensitive nerve.

A golden microcosm suddenly rose from his body.

"For justice! I will use these fists to break all obstacles, including you and the Pope!"

"Then I must stop you here, Aiolia. Although you are strong, I am not bad either."

Aphrodite also burned his own little universe.

The two small universes collided with each other, and lightning exploded in the air.

The next second, both of them disappeared from where they were.

"Lightning Speed ​​Punch!"

Aiolia is another classic opening move.

Countless golden lights burst out, scattering the rose petals all over the sky. Aphrodite's figure flashed, and he was hidden in the rain of petals, and disappeared without a trace.

Aiolia was not panicked. He kept his eyes fixed on the situation around him and let the petals fall on him.

"Piranha Rose!"

A black rose shot silently towards Aiolia's chest.
Unlike the slow-acting Royal Demon Palace Rose, the Piranha Rose has great destructive power and attack power, just like the teeth of a piranha. No matter how hard an object is, it will be instantly shattered once it touches it. Even the Nebula Chains with automatic defense instincts will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

However, this move is only effective against Bronze and Silver Saints, but it is not enough against Gold Saints, especially Aiolia who is famous for his head-on combat ability.

He punched out and shattered the black rose on the spot, and amid the flying petals, he grabbed Aphrodite's wrist.

"Don't even think about running away!"

"You must be joking. There's no way I can run!"

"Plasma light speed punch!"

"Bloody Rose!"

The two of them coincidentally used their greatest skills at the same time not long after they started fighting.

Because they all knew very well that the opponent was not the kind that could be defeated easily. In the civil war among the Gold Saints, it was normal for the ultimate move to become a normal attack, and only moves of this level could really hurt the opponent.

A small explosion occurred in front of the gate of the Pope's Palace. Aiolia retreated a dozen steps in embarrassment. There was a rose on his chest. At this moment, the rose was gradually turning from white to red. There was no doubt that it was sucking Aiolia's blood.

This is also the fatal point of the Bloody Rose. It will hit the opponent's heart the moment it leaves the hand, and the opponent will have absolutely no way to dodge.

When the white rose is completely dyed red, that is the moment when the opponent dies.

Of course, it is not possible to kill the Gold Saint directly with such a move, just like the Plasma Light Speed ​​Punch that can throw 100 million punches per second cannot directly defeat Aphrodite.

But compared to Aiolia's embarrassment, Aphrodite is in a bit of a miserable state at the moment.

He was knocked away by Aiolia's punch, rolled twice in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

The helmet flew off and his face was covered in blood.

"Ahem... As expected of Leo Aiolia, you are indeed very strong... But, you have been stabbed in the heart by my bloody rose. You are dead."

Aphrodite wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a miserable smile.

"Even if I die, I must see the Pope and ask him for the truth."

Aiolia frowned, walked past Aphrodite and went straight to the Pope's Palace.

Aphrodite looked at his back and was about to say something.

boom--

A horrific explosion suddenly came from deep within the Pope's Palace.

"!!"

Aiolia and Aphrodite were startled at the same time. They looked at each other subconsciously, and Aphrodite quickly got up from the ground.

"What happened?"

He picked up the helmet and put it back on himself.

“I don’t know, but this little universe always feels very familiar.”

Aiolia sensed it carefully and his brows gradually frowned.

"Is he an acquaintance?"

Aphrodite asked nervously. "I don't know, but what is certain is that the opponent is also a Gold Saint, and he is very strong, very, very strong."

Aiolia said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he was about to rush in, but Aphrodite grabbed his shoulder.

"We'll talk about our business later, but now, if you carry it, you're dead."

Aphrodite grabbed the rose on Aiolia's chest and took it off.

Only he can do this kind of thing.

If anyone else had a bloody rose pierced in their chest, and dared to do it themselves, the rose would immediately drain their blood and send them directly to the underworld. If they were left alone, the final result would be the same, even death.

Therefore, only Aphrodite can plant roses for people, and only he can pick roses.

After the rose was picked, Aiolia felt a lot more relaxed and nodded to Aphrodite.

"Okay, let's talk about the future later. Now let's go in and take a look."

After saying this, he ran towards the Pope's Palace.

Aphrodite followed closely behind.

The fight between the two just now, after all, was just a dispute of positions.

Although they both believe in justice, their definitions of justice are different.

The justice in Aiolia's mind must be fair and impeccable, while the justice in Aphrodite's mind is that power is justice.

Because the Pope is very powerful, he can represent justice, and protecting the Pope's Palace and the Palace of the Goddess above is his duty as the Gold Saint of the Twelfth House. In theory, other Gold Saints cannot just barge in without notifying or applying.

So he's not wrong.

Aiolia was wrong, but the Pope was wrong to send Deathmask to assassinate Tonghu, which violated the Goddess's teachings and the rules of the Sanctuary, so he wanted to ask the Pope for clarification. In fact, this matter itself was not wrong. His mistake was that he was too impulsive and actually wanted to force his way in.

But now there is no need to worry about these problems, because someone has already broken in and even started a direct war with the Pope.

So whether it is Aiolia or Aphrodite, the most important thing to do now is to protect the Pope and expel or kill the attackers.

The two of them were very fast and arrived at the battlefield in just over ten seconds, and then they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The Pope took off his robe, headdress and mask at some point, revealing an extremely young face and a dazzling golden robe.

This is……

"Saga?!"

Aiolia's eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in disbelief.

But this is not the most shocking thing. In fact, the person opposite Saga is really jaw-dropping.

He was a very burly young man with short brown hair and a resolute expression.

He was also wearing a set of golden armor, which was the Libra armor that had been unused for many years and had never waited for an heir.

I thought of what Shaka and Mu had said to me before.

"Teacher...Tonghu..."

Aiolia whispered the other person's name.

"What? Who do you think he is?"

Aphrodite was also shocked at this moment. He looked at Saga, then at the young man opposite him, and listened to Aiolia's words, feeling his head buzzing.

“Teacher Tonghu? How could he, isn’t Teacher Tonghu at Wulao Peak…”

"This is a fake death technique bestowed by the goddess. One year in reality is equivalent to only one day for him."

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, Dohko-sensei's physical age is probably just in his early twenties."

Aiolia swallowed and whispered.

Aphrodite was speechless. This kind of thing was completely beyond his understanding.

Neither Saga nor Dohko were surprised by the sudden appearance of the two Gold Saints, nor were they overly distracted. They just stared at each other.

"Saga, you have fallen too deep into darkness. It is not too late to turn back now."

Dohko frowned, looked at Saga who had an arrogant look on his face opposite him, and said in a deep voice.

"Look back? Hahahaha, why should I look back? I don't think I did anything wrong. Shi Ang is a loser. He actually regards a baby still in swaddling clothes as a treasure and even says that it is the reincarnation of the goddess. What a joke! Moreover, he has controlled the Holy Land for many years. What contribution has he made to the Holy Land?
The holy war is approaching, but instead of thinking about strengthening the Saints' combat power, he only places his hopes on the illusory goddess. How stupid!
Humans should have human lives and control themselves. What about gods? As long as I master Athena's sacred objects and defeat Poseidon and Hades, I will build a world on Earth that truly belongs to humans and get rid of the control of gods over humans.

You said I walked into the darkness, what about you? Tonghu? Aren't you also brainwashed by the goddess?
The gods never care about the life and death of human beings, but you still speak for them. I can only feel pity for you if human beings do what you have done!"

Saga said loudly.

I have to say that what he said makes sense. The gods really don't care about the life and death of human beings. After all, there are so many humans and they are so resilient. Several world-destroying disasters in history have completely wiped out humans each time, but even if there are only a few humans left, they can quickly restore their population in a very short time (from the perspective of the gods).

So the gods only care about their own authority and the outcome of the holy war. As for humans... what are they?
Saga wants to overthrow the rule of gods and welcome a world where humans control their own destiny. There is nothing wrong with this idea.

But he was wrong in that he went too extreme.

and……

"You want to rule over mankind, right? After you replace Athena and defeat Poseidon and Hades, this world may be free of gods. But what about you? Aren't you another god? When the time comes, what you call mankind controlling their own world is, after all, just a world controlled by you, right?"

This is Saga's biggest problem.

His so-called public spirit is actually all based on selfish desires and self-interest, so no matter what, his goal is not to really expel the gods, but to replace them and make himself a new god.

"Whatever you say, Tonghu, your art of faking death is indeed amazing. I underestimated you and thought that idiot Deathmask could complete the task, just like Shura did back then. It's a pity that he failed and let you survive.

But it's not a big problem. Even if you use the art of fake death to extend your life span, how much strength do you still have? You haven't used your microcosm for nearly two hundred years. How much strength can your microcosm still exert?

I will kill you and all who oppose me, just as Aiolos did, and you will all die."

Saga threw his head back and laughed wildly.

He no longer planned to pretend. Now that he had been exposed, he might as well go all the way.

Anyway, looking at the Holy Land, no one is his opponent.

As Dohko listened to Saga's words, his face became darker and darker. He originally thought that Saga was only temporarily affected by the evil thoughts, but now it seems that this influence is far greater than he imagined.

"In that case, then I will..."

He took a deep breath and was about to say something.

"Plasma light speed punch!"

With a loud shout, Aiolia suddenly appeared beside Saga and threw a punch full of hatred.
