Chapter 373 - Chapter 374: Holy War Begins

"You're saying… this Owl can help me find my sister?"

Because of Shun's words, Seiya temporarily lowered his guard against Adam, but when he heard Adam say he would use the Owl on his shoulder to find his sister, a look of suspicion immediately appeared on his face.

If not for Adam's indeed extraordinary performance, he would have already used his Pegasus Ryuseiken to send Adam flying.

The Kido family had searched the entire World for over a year and couldn't find her, and an Owl could find her?

Adam smiled and nodded:

"If you don't believe me, then so be it. Otherwise, hurry up and write a letter to your sister as I instructed."

"Seiya, I don't think Mr. Adam is lying."

Seeing Seiya still hesitating, Shun immediately spoke up.

"Alright."

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, with the thought of trying anything, Seiya still went to write the letter.

At this moment, Adam once again turned his gaze to Shun.

"Indeed, a more powerful soul is hidden within his body."

According to his memory, the soul of Hades, King of the Underworld, should still be residing within Shun's body at this time.

Hades, King of the Underworld, with his sorrowful and clear eyes, the lonely god of the Underworld, is the son of Cronus, King of the Titan gods, and Rhea, the queen of the gods, and the creator of the Underworld.

Because he believed humans were foolish, filthy, and incurable beings, he created a terrifying afterlife.

The purpose was to make those humans who had accumulated evil deeds suffer eternal damnation and endless torment after death, never to be reborn.

Approximately every two hundred years, he would break Athena's seal, and his soul would descend to the human World, choosing a pure human body as a temporary body, leading his subordinate gods and Specters to launch a Holy War.

His goal was to utterly destroy the foolish human race.

And in this Holy War, the body Hades chose to descend into was Shun. Shortly after Shun was born, Hades had already taken residence in Shun's body.

Regarding this Hades, Adam merely sensed him roughly and chose not to awaken him.

Because he still couldn't determine how strong Hades's power truly was.

As one of the twelve main gods of this World, Hades created the Underworld, Hell, and Elysium, and controlled the death of all life in the entire Universe. A single blow from him could knock down five God Warriors.

Such power should absolutely not be underestimated.

If pulled into the Marvel Universe, he would probably be able to contend with The Judge.

"Alright!"

Seiya quickly brought over a written letter.

Adam handed the letter to the Owl to hold in its beak and said to Seiya and Shun:

"Let's go near the Sanctuary first, and then we'll let it help you find your sister."

If the Owl were released from here, it would likely take several days to fly to Greece, but if released directly near the Sanctuary, it could find her in less than half an hour.

"Why do we have to go near the Sanctuary first?"

Seiya and Shun both looked puzzled.

Adam didn't answer directly, but looked at Seiya:

"If, back then, it was your sister who was taken to the Sanctuary to contend for the cloth, and you were the child left behind, what would you do?"

"Of course, I would escape the orphanage and go to the Sanctuary to save my sister, that place is not…"

At this point, Seiya's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, you're saying my sister escaped the orphanage back then to find me at the Sanctuary!"

But then he hesitated.

"But if my sister really went to the Sanctuary to find me, then why have I never seen her?"

"Your sister was only ten years old at the time. It's not easy for a ten-year-old girl to travel from here to Greece, and even if she reached Athens, it would be unlikely for her to enter the Sanctuary.

Do you still remember how Marin introduced the Sanctuary to you back then?"

Adam couldn't help but roll his eyes.

To be honest, he even thought it was impressive that Seika could safely reach Athens from Tokyo on her own.

Seiya thought for a moment and murmured:

"The Sanctuary is a holy land protected by Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and War. It is not far from Athens, the largest city in Greece, yet it is isolated from the secular World, nestled among mountains.

It is not even recorded on maps, and even reconnaissance satellites with meter-level resolution cannot discover it.

The Sanctuary, filled with the "Will of the Gods," is hidden by dozens of Barriers, completely untouched by enemy interference. It is the holy land where Saints, who protect peace on Earth, reside, and is also known as the last bastion protecting peace on Earth.

Aside from Saints and other warriors and related personnel, no one else is allowed to enter the Sanctuary without the Pope's permission."

At this moment, he finally understood Adam's meaning: his sister might have been near the Sanctuary all along, but as a normal person, she had no way to enter the Sanctuary to see him.

"Let's go to the Sanctuary!"

Adam enveloped Seiya and Shun in his aura, quickly flying towards Greece.

Saints who have awakened the Seventh Sense can unleash Lightspeed Fist and move at near-light speed, but most do not have the ability to fly unless they have awakened a special ability.

Even if they can fly, their speed is actually not as fast as their punching or moving speed.

This is because punching and moving are achieved by the Cosmo working in conjunction with the body, while flying involves using the power of the Cosmo to drag the body, which naturally greatly reduces the speed.

Seiya and Shun are both Saints without flying abilities; if they were to go to the Sanctuary, they would essentially travel by plane.

Of course, they could also choose to run, but besides crossing mountains and valleys, they would also have to swim across the sea, which is generally unnecessary unless they are in a particular hurry.

Five minutes later, the three appeared in the mountains outside the Sanctuary.

"Is that Athena's Cosmo?"

Adam looked towards the Sanctuary ahead, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

The Hades within Shun had not yet awakened, so he couldn't fully sense how strong Hades's Cosmo truly was.

But Athena was different; she was basically fully awakened now, and being in the Sanctuary, he could completely sense Athena's Cosmo power as the Goddess of War.

Compared to his current Cosmo, which had inherited Seiya's initial Gold level, Athena's Cosmo was tens of thousands of times stronger, if not more.

Fortunately, Cosmo was only one of the powers he currently possessed; his primary power was still the power of Ki.

Even so, if Hades's Cosmo was comparable to Athena's, then he might not necessarily be able to defeat him right now.

However, he had many methods, so even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.

"Hmm, these Cosmos full of dark aura, could it be…"

Just then, he suddenly felt that the Sanctuary had gained many powerful Cosmos, all leaning towards death and darkness.

For this situation to occur at this time, there was only one possibility.

The Holy War was about to begin!

"Mr. Adam, can we start looking for my sister now?"

Seeing Adam staring blankly in the direction of the Sanctuary, Seiya reminded him with some anxiety.

"Alright, go then!"

Adam, who had come back to his senses, released the Owl carrying the letter, then led Seiya and Shun, following the Owl, as they flew into the mountains.
