Facing the puzzled gazes of everyone, Poseidon's expression remained unchanged. He frowned slightly and nodded.
Although he didn't speak, he implicitly admitted that what Li Yu said was not false!
It's... it's true... The Marina Generalss' tense bodies instantly relaxed.
Kanon gritted his teeth. The conspiracy he had meticulously planned was, in front of Li Yu, eliminated into nothingness like a joke.
Hyoga's ice-blue eyes stared intently at Li Yu. He said to Isaac, with a mix of emotion and sigh:
"Senior, we still have a lot to learn from Master. Whether it's strength or tactics, Master's title as the strongest Saint in the current era isn't solely gained through martial prowess!"
Isaac subconsciously nodded. His knees felt slightly weak, as if he had returned to the days when Li Yu trained him.
Although he was now a high-ranking Devil Ray Marine, one of the seven Marina Generalss under the Sea Emperor, nothing had changed.
Master was still as powerful, unfathomable, and unbeatable. He saw no possibility of catching up to Master's footsteps.
No one knew that Li Yu's heart at this moment was far from calm.
When the God Cloth awakened just now, Athena's divine blood not only repaired the Cloth but also healed his injuries.
Athena's divine blood had completely permeated the depths of his soul.
Li Yu saw a golden true spirit within his soul.
The true spirit was a naked figure, completely entwined by golden light. After the divine blood injected into the true spirit, the golden divine power spread throughout his body like veins. His physical and mental strength, which had been exhausted by the great battle, instantly fully recovered.
Li Yu immediately understood that this golden true spirit was the shackles Athena left in the soul of every Saint.
It would remain dormant, but once activated, it could completely control the Saint's will, making him dedicate everything to Athena, even burning his soul without hesitation.
No wonder when the Wall of Sighs needed to be broken later, even the soul of the deceased Deathmask had to come from the Underworld to the Wall of Sighs to burn his own soul.
Li Yu tried to purify this light cluster with his soul power, but found that the golden true spirit had already merged with his soul, indistinguishable from each other!
This meant that although he had become much stronger, he was still under Athena's control.
"Time... I need more time."
Li Yu's heart was as clear as a mirror.
He had to delay the time of the decisive battle with Hades.
If he couldn't find a way to break the situation in the Saint Seiya World.
Then he would seek opportunities in other Reincarnation Spaces.
For example, in the Bleach World, which specializes in souls, with his disciple, the Soul King Ade, he should be able to get some help for his soul problems.
Or the multi-universe level gods of the DC and Marvel Universes, or artifacts of the Infinity Stone level, would also be useful to him.
Especially the Soul Stone, which might be able to resolve the hidden danger deep within his soul.
Li Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and looked at everyone with an unperturbed gaze.
"Hades's Underworld Army is about to revive, and danger is imminent. From today onwards, the Saints and Marines shall put aside their prejudices and prepare for war together."
"Shura, Aphrodite, Camus, the three of you escort Saori Kido back to the Sanctuary and inform Saga to make all preparations. The Underworld forces are involved in this matter!"
Shura and Aphrodite's eyes flickered. Both bowed their heads and replied,
"Yes!"
Camus clenched his fists, his gaze sweeping over the aquarius god cloth. Finally, he also lowered his head and said in a deep voice,
"Yes..."
"Seiya, Hyoga, you all go to the Sanctuary together to find Mr. Mu to repair your damaged Cloths, hone your strength, and prepare to welcome the Holy War!"
Several Bronze Saintss responded loudly,
"Yes, Lord Li Yu!"
With Li Yu's arrangements, many Saints began to leave in an orderly manner.
Sea Emperor Poseidon stood by and watched it all.
He couldn't help but show a look of emotion. Li Yu's prestige in the Sanctuary was fully evident.
In this life, as the only son of the world's shipping magnate, he had actually heard long ago that the all-powerful Pope should have been Li Yu.
But for some reason, in the end, it was the Gemini Saint, Saga, who was elected.
Looking at his Marines, although the Sea Dragon Fighter Kanon could also command the entire situation, compared to Li Yu, his methods and strength were far inferior.
In this battle, Kanon didn't even last a single move against Li Yu... As soon as he thought of this, Poseidon couldn't help but sigh. If I had Li Yu, why would I worry about not achieving great things?
Watching the Saints leave safely, Li Yu nodded slightly to Poseidon.
"Your Majesty Sea Emperor, we shall part ways here. If you need anything, please send someone to the Sanctuary to find me at any time!"
Li Yu raised his head, and the God Cloth slowly transformed into light. Just as he was about to break through the air and leave, Poseidon suddenly spoke.
"Wait, Lord Li Yu!"
Li Yu stopped, looking at the Sea Emperor with some surprise.
"What, does the Sea Emperor have other ideas...?"
Logically speaking, an ancient god like Sea Emperor Poseidon, once he agreed to something, should not go back on his word.
Poseidon's next sentence almost made Li Yu break down.
"Li Yu, I admire you greatly. Athena's side is not suitable for you. Why not come and be my Pope? I will give you the greatest freedom, and all seven oceans will be under your command..."
Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He shook his head and politely declined.
"Sea Emperor, I appreciate your kindness, but please forgive me as I have important matters to attend to and cannot change my allegiance for now..."
"Alright, my divine kingdom will always be open to you!"
Poseidon didn't insist, smiling and offering his greatest sincerity.
Li Yu nodded slightly, no longer lingering, and transformed into light to leave. Time was very tight for him. The God Cloth form of the Aquarius Cloth still had over twenty hours of effect left.
Li Yu did not intend to waste it. He wanted to maximize the effect of the God Cloth.
If used properly, at least one of the three Pantheon members who attacked him last time would die.
Boom!
Li Yu's figure transformed into a stream of light, rushing into the lava cave at the bottom of Mount Olympus, reaching the entrance of the Tartarus Abyss. Li Yu quickly took off the God Cloth and entered the Reincarnation Space.
"Main God, list the worlds where source crystals can be obtained!"
Li Yu's plan consisted of two steps.
The first step was to obtain an source crystal and bring the Aquarius Cloth into the Reincarnation Space.
The second step was to find the Reincarnation Space where Superman was located and kill Superman!
The reason why Superman was chosen as the first target instead of Kakarot or Sentry.
Is because Superman has his fatal weakness.
The Son of Kryptonian, the God Among Men, has very low magic resistance in his normal state.
If Li Yu could also get a green Kryptonite, killing Superman would be as easy as turning over his hand.
The reason Superman was so powerful last time was because Sentry's power of a million suns empowered him!
As long as Li Yu struck fast enough and instantly killed him, even if Sentry and Kakarot could arrive, it would be too late.
Before Li Yu's eyes, a large number of corrupted Reincarnation Spaces rotated continuously.
He quickly selected a world from dozens of spaces.
In the world's phantom, Li Yu could vaguely see giant mechs and ferocious monsters fighting desperately in the sea!
Humans struggled to survive in pain, countless people knelt and pleaded.
"God, save us!"
This is it. If Li Yu was not mistaken, this world should be Pacific Rim!
