375: For the goddess

Shi Jingmo sneered, 'Why are you still hiding? You two might as well come out!'

Suddenly, it seemed as if a rain of blood began to fall from the clouds in the sky, but Shi Jingmo recognized the technique at a glance. He abruptly pressed his palms together and shouted clearly at the sky, 'Hum!'

The rain of blood filling the sky instantly transformed into countless crimson roses, tracing streaks of blood as they fell toward Shi Jingmo. Unexpectedly, Shi Jingmo's Buddhist sound attack was incredibly sharp, not only tearing these crimson roses to shreds but even affecting the blood attached to them, which turned into transparent water stains in the blink of an eye. The temperature in the air alone was enough to evaporate these water stains!

From within the clouds, a Saint Seiya with impossibly beautiful features, wearing the Pisces Saint Cloth, slowly descended from the sky and said with a calm smile, 'Shi Jingmo, it's been a long time!'

'Albafica? I didn't expect you to come and wade into these muddy waters too?'

Shi Jingmo only glanced at him before looking down at the ground, where a black vortex had suddenly appeared on the street. He couldn't help but laugh, 'Such thick Death Qi. Hehe, it seems Manigoldo has come too... Five Golden Saint joining forces to besiege me? You really do think highly of me!'

The Cancer Saint slowly rose from the black vortex and looked at Shi Jingmo, saying, 'It should be said that your treatment is unprecedented. After all, the last time so many of us Saint Seiya were mobilized was during the Holy War!'

'Junior Brother, do you know these guys?' Pigsy smacked his lips and asked.

'Yes, they are my former comrades-in-arms!' Shi Jingmo stood beside Hasgard and said to his fellow disciples, 'Second Senior Brother, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, you two go to the imperial palace. No matter how many people are here, we will take them on!'

'Can you handle it? Do you need me to stay and help you?' Ksitigarbha frowned slightly and said, 'With me here, they won't be able to advance a single step!'

'Bodhisattva, your Divine Ability is vast, but your battlefield is not here. Taking everyone into a dream and figuring out exactly what happened is what you should do next!'

Shi Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, 'Fighting is something better left to us two "brutes"!'

'Well said, well said!' Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at the few golden figures around, and smiled. 'After obtaining this new body, my temper and personality have been somewhat affected, becoming a bit irritable. If we were to really fight, it might cause irreversible consequences... Since that's the case, let's go to the imperial palace... Wu Neng, Monk Sha, and you two... Let's go...'

The mindless Eldred raised his hand again, about to attack the group, but unexpectedly, the Taurus Saint Hasgard leaped up, golden light flashing on his body. He instantly donned his Saint Cloth and punched Eldred in the head.

This punch utilized the Power Law he had recently comprehended. Although he didn't use his full strength, it still sent the Capricorn Saint Eldred flying. At the same time, he shouted to those behind him, 'Go do what you need to do, leave this to me!'

'Hehe, that sounds good...' Old Pig laughed, 'When everything is over, Old Pig will treat you to a drink!'

As he spoke, he swung his rake. The Saint Seiya who were just about to surround them suddenly felt as if a huge wall of Qi had appeared before them, slamming them away. Old Pig's figure suddenly transformed into a huge combat state, then instantly returned to normal. In that brief gap, the group had already flown out of the encirclement and headed toward the imperial palace.

The Saint Seiya were just about to intercept them when they suddenly felt that the aura behind them seemed wrong. Turning their heads, they saw golden light shining from Shi Jingmo's direction; the long-lost Virgo golden saint cloth was once again worn on his body.

All the Saint Seiya held their breath and watched this scene, looking at each other in dismay.

When the golden light dissipated, Sisyphus finally sighed and said, 'No need to chase them. It's already quite good that the few of us can hold him back!'

Albafica suddenly smiled bitterly, 'So that's how it is. Your strength has actually progressed to this Realm. Could it be that finding any monk in this world to apprentice under can make one progress this much?'

Shi Jingmo, whose temperament had changed greatly, suddenly pressed his palms together and smiled, 'If you want to find a master, I can introduce you!'

Except for Eldred, who was fighting Hasgard with his holy sword, all the other Saint Seiya had already surrounded Shi Jingmo in a semi-encirclement.

From the momentum when Shi Jingmo put on his Saint Cloth, they had already sensed Shi Jingmo's power.

Honestly speaking, these veteran Golden Saint were like big shots in any era, especially after receiving the modifications from that supreme being. Their power was stronger than before, and they even had the ability to kill gods.

But now, facing Shi Jingmo, they realized they were a bit like frogs in a well.

In terms of strength alone, Shi Jingmo completely crushed the five of them. Even if they all attacked together, they might not be able to take him down.

This was the heartfelt thought of these Golden Saint, but they would never retreat. Even when facing truly powerful gods, they would absolutely not take a single step back!

'Ask a question!' Shi Jingmo looked at Sisyphus and suddenly smiled, 'Have you... found the Goddess?'

The expressions of the four people suddenly changed. Manigoldo frowned and said, 'We can only tell you that everything we do is for the Goddess!'

'Oh!' Shi Jingmo suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, 'So, you have already seen the Goddess Athena? Hmm, as the Great Leader, Darwin's duty is to create a certain amount of chaos in the human world, so he shouldn't have many opportunities to contact the Goddess... Hehe, I understand. You have come into contact with that higher-level deity... The Goddess Athena... is in his hands, isn't she?'

Everyone's expression looked as ugly as if they had eaten a fly. Sisyphus said in a deep voice, 'You are very smart... That's right. The reason we intercepted you here is to make the Goddess's life a little easier... That guy... That guy...'

Uncontrollable anger appeared on their faces, and they all looked indignant.

'Hmm, I can roughly guess...' Shi Jingmo sighed, 'Then make your move. Just consider it for the sake of the Goddess. However... I will not show mercy, even if you are my former comrades-in-arms!'

'Hehe, that's for the best!' Regulus laughed, 'It is our honor to be able to fight a powerhouse like you!'

'If we die... remember to save our Goddess!' Sisyphus suddenly smiled bitterly and helplessly, 'Just consider it us begging you! After all, you were also a Saint Seiya of the Goddess, weren't you?'

'This, you don't need to tell me. I obtained stronger power precisely for this!'

Shi Jingmo suddenly opened his arms and said to the front, 'Come on, let me see what kind of progress you have made in these few years!'
