659: Saints! Now is the time to need you!

Chapter 659: Saint Seiya! The Time Has Come for You to Act!

However, the Cross-World Group's prompt indicated that if this world were absorbed by the Odyssey World, it would not only enhance the world's foundation but also accelerate the repair of the spatial rifts in the Odyssey World.

Upon receiving this prompt, Maple Leaf immediately explained it to the gods.

Such an opportunity to encounter a world fragment was incredibly rare!

After all, in the myriad worlds and vast universe, when a world shatters, besides those that are annihilated, those that can escape in the form of fragments… the scattered range is simply too vast.

“We really need such world fragments to improve our world’s foundation,” Maple Leaf said. “So, if possible, we must accept this world fragment.”

“Moreover, the improvement of the world’s foundation can enhance the lower and upper limits of all living beings in our entire world, including you and me!”

Upon hearing Maple Leaf's words, the gods all nodded in agreement.

Who would object to an increase in their upper and lower limits?

“Then what should we do? We can’t get in…” Senes, the Moon God, said helplessly from the side.

“We can’t get in… but that doesn’t mean others can’t! Look… our Saint Seiya are useful!” Maple Leaf said with a smirk.

Oh, right! There were also the Saint Seiya!

The gods suddenly realized, blaming the newly emerged Saint Seiya system for their momentary slowness.

“Then it’s settled, let Athena handle this!” Sun God Apoklie said with a smile. After confirming that this world fragment posed no danger, everyone relaxed considerably.

Although Maple Leaf had said from the beginning that there wasn’t much danger, and it was just world bordering, not world invasion.

They were not the same thing.

However, the Odyssey World had just experienced a world invasion, and they had all participated in how devastating and tragic it had been.

It was false to say they weren't worried; otherwise, even a mere world fragment wouldn't require all the gods to mobilize and come together to “observe” it.

Now, it was fine; they had finally put their minds at ease.

So, they simply handed it over to Athena to deal with.

Athena: “……”

Alright, alright, alright, now I understand why you wanted me to “lead” the Saint Seiya system… I thought it was because she was the Goddess of War and Wisdom that she was given the position, with the God of War and God of Martial Arts as supplements.

Now, she finally understood it clearly.

They just wanted her to work! And to do the dirtiest, most tiring, and most extensive work!

“Fine then~” Athena shook her head helplessly, and the gods scattered with smiles.

“It’s up to you~” Maple Leaf said to Athena, and then she also slipped away.

Of course, Maple Leaf still had a little “conscience”; at least she would watch from the side and keep things under control.

Athena could only return to the Holy Mountain.

Then, using the Divine Command Horn, she directly summoned all the Saint Seiya to gather there!

Of course, “Saint Seiya” here referred to people like Al and not other divine officials or the like.

As mentioned before, although those divine officials also had saint cloth and were considered Saint Seiya.

Ultimately, their systems were different, and their main system didn't follow that path.

And these later Saint Seiya were the pure Saint Seiya system!

Summoned by the goddess, the Saint Seiya, no matter what they were doing, rushed towards the Holy Mountain.

Saint Seiya! Assemble!!!

Al also quickly made his way there, donned his saint cloth, and flew directly over.

The other Saint Seiya were much the same; streaks of “flowing light” could be seen flying through the air.

This attracted a lot of attention, but no one panicked, because they all knew that these were the Saint Seiya!

And the Saint Seiya were their guardian warriors!

So, how could the people of Osdessey City fear the warriors who protected them?

Not to mention, the Saint Seiya themselves were chosen from among the people!

Behind each of those young men and women was a family of the common people.

Now, the Saint Seiya selection and training… had become a place of nationwide “carnival.”

It was like the glory of joining the army!

Not only that, besides honor, treatment was also a major key point.

Honor and benefits were all generously provided!

Naturally, it became a craze!

Coupled with the fact that it was a world ruled by gods, faith and believers were prevalent.

The Saint Seiya were simply a perfect, re-imagined version of faith warriors!

Not to mention, will was one of the core elements of the Saint Seiya, and also a major driving force of Cosmo Power.

Therefore, faith was also a kind of belief and will!

Looking at it this way, weren't the Saint Seiya just perfect faith warriors!

On the Holy Mountain, a total of eight Saint Seiya gathered together.

“Goddess Athena!” The Saint Seiya looked at Athena, who was seated on the “divine throne” on the high platform, and all knelt on one knee, pledging their loyalty!

“There is a mission that requires you all to complete together. Coincidentally, it is also the first mission since the establishment of the Saint Seiya half a year ago,” Athena said to the Saint Seiya.

“We swear to fight for the Goddess until death!” the Saint Seiya shouted in unison.

“Saint Seiya, the time has come for you to act! At this location outside the city…” Athena directly condensed a map in front of the Saint Seiya with divine power, allowing them to distinguish it clearly.

The map was very clear, and it also showed the Saint Seiya’s current location.

“Do you see this area, the place marked with a red dot?” Athena said to the Saint Seiya. “Your goal is to go to this place, where there will be a dark purple door.”

Saying that, Athena projected the “scene” from that time, so the Saint Seiya could clearly recognize it.

“This is that door. It is a world fragment from another world, and I need you to go inside,” Athena said, then paused.

Uh… what happens after they go in? How can they turn the world fragment into part of the Odyssey World? Athena was a bit bewildered.

No, no one told me!

“Mm-hmm!” The Saint Seiya obediently looked at their goddess, waiting for further instructions.

“……”

“……”

“?”

Go inside, and then what? What are we supposed to do? The Saint Seiya blinked, not daring to ask the goddess, nor daring to whisper amongst themselves, so they just stared at each other.

“Alright, move out. You will decide for yourselves then and act according to the situation. If there’s any change, I will notify you immediately,” Athena waved her hand; it still had to be her.

“Yes, Goddess!” the Saint Seiya responded, and then all eight Saint Seiya flew together towards the world fragment outside the city.

Athena watched the departing Saint Seiya, she couldn’t hold back anymore and quickly ran to find Maple Leaf.

She wanted to see how to resolve it, so she could immediately use the Divine Command Horn to inform the Saint Seiya how to deal with the world fragment.

“Maple Leaf! Maple Leaf!!!” Athena hurriedly sent a divine message to Maple Leaf.

As a result… Maple Leaf was no longer in this world! She couldn't be found!
