"Since Pandora has been captured, there is no one to carry out the plan."
"It doesn't matter. Let him be at ease for two more days. However, I am very interested in this new person."
"Why? Are you planning to do it yourself? "
"No, a mortal isn't worth wasting my time on. Pandora has been captured, hasn't she? Let the Dark Gladiators rescue her. At the same time, we can test the level of the arrogant human and see if he is worthy of being a pawn. "
"A farce … Then we will do as you say."
With that, the Twin Gods' shadows disappeared into the void.
...
Deep inside Hades Castle, in a dimly lit room, three men in luxurious black armor sat together. They were listening to the Dark Gladiator, who was kneeling on one knee with his head lowered, reporting something to them.
"What?! Lord Pandora has been captured? "the man in the middle of the three said loudly.
"Who is the other party?" The person on the right of the three asked.
"I am not sure, but Lord Hades and Lord Pandora seem to know that man," the Dark Gladiator who was kneeling on the ground replied. From the voice, it seemed to be a woman. For the Dark Gladiators who were all men, this was a strange existence.
"Where is that person now?" the man in the middle asked again.
"Sanctuary!" the female Dark Gladiator replied.
Hearing these two words, the three figures fell silent for a moment. A moment later, the person on the left of the three broke the silence with a sneer. "Perfect, I, Noble Star's Minos, want to avenge the previous humiliation. Let me go to the Sanctuary to rescue Lady Pandora."
Saying that, the man stood up and was about to walk out of the room.
"I am afraid you will not be able to come back this time." The man on the right sneered.
"What did you say?!" Noble Star Minos stopped abruptly. He turned around and glared at the man on the right.
"Isn't that so? To think that one of the three giants would be defeated by a mere Gold Saint who only knows how to play with plants. How humiliating, "the person on the right said in disdain.
"Aiyagos, do you want to return to the Netherworld for a while?" Minos asked with a murderous tone.
"Do you have the ability to do that?" The black shadow called Ayacoth mocked.
"Alright, stop arguing," the person in the middle said in a deep voice. "Let's think about it now. How do we save Lady Pandora? "
"There is no need to discuss. I will bring my subordinates to rescue Master Pandora," Minos said.
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the room, ignoring Ayacogos and the other black shadow.
"I shall leave it to you, Minos," the black shadow in the middle said.
"Biorite, you go as well. Find Lady Pandora's location," the black figure in the middle said. Ayachos said to the female Underworld Gladiator kneeling in the room.
"Yes, Lord Aiacos," the female Nether Gladiator replied. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the room.
"I did not expect that even Lady Pandora would be captured …" the black shadow in the middle sighed softly.
"I shall go and prepare." Ayacogos stood up from his seat and walked out of the room. He said as he walked out.
"I have passed this matter to Minos. What else do you need to prepare?" the remaining black shadow asked.
"I doubt if that fellow can really rescue Lady Pandora and not be defeated by the Gold Saint who plays with flowers like the last time. In the end, he was sealed in the rosary made by the Virgo Saint," Ayacogos, who was about to walk out of the room, replied. After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared from the room as well.
…
"These are the cultivation tips for all the inherited skills of the twelve Gold Saints." The Pope said as he placed a pile of ancient scrolls written on animal skin in front of Sei Itō, who was sitting in front of the statue of Athena.
"Thank you," Sei Itō extended his hand and opened the scrolls as he thanked the Pope.
"… I hope you will not use these skills to commit atrocities. Otherwise, I will not let you off even if I have to risk my life, "the Pope warned sternly after a moment of silence.
Sei Itō lifted his head and looked at the Pope without saying a word. He then retracted his gaze and looked at the scrolls in his hand again.
Seeing this, the Pope did not say anything and turned to leave the Athena Shrine.
There were not many Gold Saint Skill Scrolls, only slightly more than 20 of them. With Sei Itō's speed, even if he were to read them carefully … It only took him slightly more than three hours to finish reading all of them.
"In my current state, it seems that apart from the crystal wall of Aries that can be driven by psychokinesis, I can also use the Space Law to replace Gemini's Dimensional Space and the Devil's Triangle Dimensional Space. I can also drive Virgo's Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Heavenly Dance Wheel, as well as the Sky Evil Spirits and Monsters created by Ahmeda. As well as the Aquarius Constellation's Diamond Stardust Fist and Aurora Execution that can be used directly, the other skills can't be copied … "Ito Sei threw the beast skin scroll in his hand to the ground in front of him and lowered his head as he pondered.
"Furthermore, Leo's Lightning Speed Fist and Plasma Speed Fist, Sagittarius' Atomic Shock, Virgo's Sky Demon Subjugation, Gemini's Galaxy Astral Treasure, and Aries' Star Fragment Rotation Technique, and other special skills that rely on the small universe's molecular level, can't be learned!"
"It seems that I can only collect these skills and give them to my subordinates who are willing to switch to the small universe to learn and use them." Sei Itō whispered.
Thinking of this, Sei Itō did not hesitate. With a thought, he put away the 20 scrolls of Golden Saint skills in front of him. Then with another thought, a black square coffin appeared in front of him. Immediately afterward, the black coffin exploded and scattered into countless black light fragments that floated into the air, revealing Pandora inside.
The unconscious Pandora's body softened and fell to the ground, but Sei Itō immediately hugged her and let her lie on his lap.
Sei Itō's fingers moved lightly and gently slid across Pandora's beautiful face.
"En ~" After some time, Pandora slowly opened her eyes with a low moan. The first thing that caught her eyes was Sei Itō, who was holding her and looking at the sunset on the horizon.
Pandora was shocked and quickly broke away from Sei Itō's arms with a small universe. She turned over and stood on the ground.
"You're a little excited, Pandora," Sei Itō looked up at Pandora who was on guard and said softly with a smile on his face.
"Where's Sir Hades?" Pandora asked in a deep voice.
"Haven't you had enough? This kind of puppet-like life? "Sei Itō asked back.
Pandora's heart trembled, but she did not speak.
Whether it was in this era, or two hundred years later, or the many eras before, she — Pandora — had always been by Hades's side, but she had always been ordered around by the gods and the Twin Gods. She had to do this and that, and she was completely like a puppet with no freedom at all. If it weren't for the fact that she gradually lost Hades, who was both a 'younger brother' and a 'monarch', she would have collapsed in despair long ago.
"What are you trying to say?" Pandora asked back.
"How about coming to my side? From now on, you don't have to pay attention to the gods. You only have to listen to my orders, serve me, and live a free and happy life," Sei Itō reached out his hand and smiled.
"… Ridiculous!" After a moment of silence, Pandora appeared to be hysterical and refuted loudly, "Who do you think you are? The strength of the gods, no, the strength of Sir Hades is not something you can understand at all. You actually want to use such a ridiculous reason to oppose me, Pandora, who is loyal to Sir Hades. You're really stupid. "
"Then if I defeat Hades, are you willing to come to my side?" Sei Itō still asked with a smile on his face.
"It's impossible for you to defeat Sir Hades, even with Athena's help!" Pandora said with a firm expression.
"You don't need to think about that. You just need to answer me. If I defeat Hades, are you willing to come to my side?" Sei Itō's arm was still stretched out as he asked with a smile on his face.
"… Even if you win, so what? If you lose this time, there will be a next time. If you lose the next time, there will be a next time. Sir Hades is immortal! Therefore, I also belong to Sir Hades … "Pandora was silent for a moment before speaking again. But at the end of her words, a trace of sadness flashed across Pandora's face.
"Did you forget what I said when I first met you and Aaron?" Sei Itō said softly, "I'm a god, a foreign god. Since I chose you, I naturally have a way to free your soul from Hades and the Underworld and restore your freedom. So, you only need to answer me. After Hades is defeated, are you willing to come to my side and serve me?"
Pandora's expression changed and a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.
For a moment, the Shrine of Athena became quiet.
"Forget it. You don't need to answer me now. Use your eyes to witness everything I've done and wait for the final result. " Sei Itō withdrew his hand and lightly placed it on his knee, forming a seal. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and said softly.
Hearing this, Pandora let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
"By the way, I heard that you play the harp very well. As a pastime, play a song for me here." Sei Itō spoke again with his eyes closed.
"Yes." Pandora hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice. Then, with a wave of one hand, a golden harp as tall as a person appeared from the void. She lowered her body and sat on a small round stool that appeared at the same time. She stretched out her hands and stroked the slender strings, her ten fingers gently plucking them.
In an instant, a melodious sound reverberated above the Shrine of Athena.
