"What strongest Gold Saints? I see nothing but trash; they couldn't even clear the first temple.
It seems we'll have to take Athena's head ourselves!"
At this moment, a group of Specters, clad in black Surplices, emerged from the hidden darkness.
But no sooner had their arrogant words fallen than they noticed the Sanctuary's Fire Clock was lit.
The lighting of the Fire Clock meant the Sanctuary was under attack, and all Saints would enter a state of alert.
"Who lit the Fire Clock?"
"It was I."
A short figure, leaning on a staff, slowly walked over from the direction of the Fire Clock.
"It seems I was a bit slow and missed seeing my old comrades."
The newcomer was none other than Shiryu's master, the Libra Gold Saint Dohko, one of the two sole survivors of the previous Holy War, and one of the strongest Gold Saints.
"Master, you've come too!"
When Mu saw Dohko appear, the worry in his heart finally eased considerably.
Dohko had once guided all Gold Saints in their training, making him a master to all Gold Saints. With Dohko present, they now had a pillar of support.
"Hyoga, Shiryu, Ikki, you've come as well!"
At this moment, Seiya's face also showed a look of pleasant surprise, as he saw his three companions, who fought alongside him, on the slopes of the mountains on either side.
"Seiya, where is your cloth?"
Hyoga flipped and landed next to Seiya, looking at him without the box for his cloth, nor wearing his cloth, and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
Shiryu, still blindfolded and not yet recovered, landed beside his master Dohko, while Ikki landed beside his younger brother Shun. Hearing Hyoga's words, they looked at Seiya and noticed the same issue.
As a Saint, the cloth is an indispensable existence.
"Well, it's a long story. My cloth will probably be back in twenty minutes."
Seiya replied helplessly.
Meanwhile, inside the Primordial Space, Shion and the others looked at the unfamiliar space around them and the strange Planet above their heads, their faces full of surprise.
"It seems we've been spatially transferred, but we don't know where this is."
Saga said with a frown.
He had extensive research in spatial matters and had even created a technique that could banish enemies to the depths of the Universe.
"To be able to hit all six of us simultaneously, who exactly is this Adam?"
Shura of Capricorn's tone was somewhat serious.
They had seen spatial techniques before, but one so bizarre was a first.
Because under normal circumstances, no matter what spatial technique was activated, the power of Cosmo would be used, allowing them to sense it in advance and react.
Even Saga's Another Dimension, to be effective against Saints of their level, was not that easy.
Moreover, it simultaneously hit six Gold Saints, and before they were transferred, the six of them hadn't detected any fluctuations in Cosmo power.
"Let's not discuss this for now, time is short, let's get out!"
Shion interrupted their discussion and was about to teleport everyone out of here and back to the Sanctuary.
As Mu's master, he was also proficient in spatial teleportation.
Even here, he could sense the location of the Sanctuary and directly lead everyone out of here and back to the Sanctuary.
However, before he could activate his ability, Adam appeared before them.
"Those Specters monitoring you cannot come here, so you don't have to be in such a hurry to leave."
"How did you know we were being monitored?"
Shion was also taken aback by Adam's words.
Adam discovering the hidden Specters wasn't too surprising to him.
Because just now, Adam had also discovered Saga and the other two, indicating his very strong perception abilities.
However, if inferred conventionally, Adam should have thought that those hidden Specters were with them, just like the initially hidden trio of Saga.
And not that those Specters were monitoring them.
Adam smiled and replied:
"Not only do I know you are being monitored, but I also know that you haven't betrayed Athena; you merely want to inform Athena about the method to activate the cloth."
"Who exactly are you?"
This time, not just Shion, but everyone's expressions changed.
It must be known that this was their most important secret now. If Hades discovered it, their souls would instantly be reclaimed, making it impossible to inform Athena about the method to activate the cloth.
Without the blessing of the cloth, this generation's Athena could not be Hades's opponent. If the Holy War was lost, all of humanity would be finished.
Therefore, how could they not be nervous?
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I am not your enemy, nor am I Hades's person."
Adam waved his hand.
Shion stared at Adam and asked:
"Then what do you want now?"
Adam knew their secret and had specifically brought them here, so he must have some purpose.
Now, they had to figure out what Adam's purpose was. Otherwise, even if he used teleportation to bring everyone back to the Sanctuary, if Adam went out and told the Specters their plan, all their efforts would be in vain.
"Don't be so nervous. I said we are not enemies. I just want to make a deal with you.
Don't worry, you will absolutely profit immensely from this deal!"
Adam extended his hand, conjured chairs and tea, then sat there and poured a cup of tea for each Saint.
"Come, come, have some tea, let's sit down and chat."
"What deal?"
Shion didn't move but asked directly.
Given the survival of all humanity was at stake, he currently had no time or mood to sit down and drink tea.
"Simple. I can help you truly resurrect, no longer bound by Hades.
And in return, afterwards, you must teach me all your ultimate techniques!"
Adam put down the teacup, then said with a smile:
"How about it? Isn't it an immense profit?"
The strength of these Gold Saints is still very formidable. Take Shion and Saga, for example; if he didn't transform into a giant ape, he might not necessarily be their opponent.
And their ultimate techniques are also quite powerful, worth his time to learn.
Take Saga as an example: the spatial technique, Another Dimension, can directly banish enemies to the depths of the Universe, trillions of light-years away.
The mind control technique, Genrou Maou Ken, can dominate an enemy's brain nerves, making them obey one's commands hypnotically, turning the enemy into one's slave. Its control effect is much stronger than the Imperio.
The physical technique, Galaxian Explosion, when fully unleashed, can even achieve the terrifying effect of a galactic explosion.
Other abilities include stripping the five senses, telekinesis, and labyrinths.
This is just Saga alone, and now his trading partners are a full six people.
"You can resurrect all of us?"
Shion and the others simply didn't believe Adam's words. Except for Hades, no one could resurrect the dead, not even Athena; this was Hades's unique ability.
