[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

Day five of Athena and the Bronze Five's return to the overworld.

Sanctuary has become a complete mess.

The Zodiac Gold Saints originally lost a few due to various reasons, and after this battle with the underworld, there were not a single one left; they went to the underworld to find the goddess with the intention of defeating Hades, before and after the return of the goddess Of the five bronze saints who were extremely active during this period of time, four of them were bruised and bruised, and one was seriously injured and comatose, and has yet to wake up. What made the entire sanctuary even more terrified than the above two incidents was the goddess's slumber for no reason. .

None of the four bronze saints who returned from waking up had the memory of why the goddess fell into such a state of eternal sleep, and according to their countless memories, all four of them only remembered the last moment of leaving the underworld, another "Hades, the king of the underworld". "appeared in front of them and showed them the "truth" about the previous jihad between the underworld and the sanctuary.

That is--

The sanctuary has never gained any advantage. From the beginning to the end, what they experienced was nothing but the deliberate arrangement of Hades, the king of the underworld. Whether the enemies defeated or the difficulties overcome, none of them were within the budget and control of the underworld king— —Even though, Sanctuary has already paid the heavy price of all the sacrifices of the Golden Saints and Seiya being seriously injured and unconscious.

"...So, Miss Saori's coma is most likely caused by the final result of this jihad."

Among the few people sitting around a simple stone table in a stone room in the side hall of the Goddess Temple, the magic bell spoke first.

Sitting here at the moment are the existing silver saints in the sanctuary, who are among the best in terms of prestige and strength. The two most typical representatives are female saints, namely the magic bell of the Aquila constellation, and the Ophiuchus Seat Sharna.

In addition to these silver saints, there were five other people who made an exception to attend the first post-war meeting in the sanctuary, namely Zilong, Binghe, Yihui and Shun who reluctantly showed up with serious injuries. And as the direct disciple of the former Aries Gold Saint Mu, although he is not even considered as a Bronze Saint for the time being, his talent, strength and knowledge cannot be underestimated- Guigui.

And it was this kid who, before everyone else, immediately reflected the hidden meaning in the magic bell's words——

"Moling, do you want to say that Athena has been sealed?" The expression on his face was dignified that didn't match his age, "Because... this time it was our sanctuary who lost the jihad?"

Wearing a mask that represents a female saint who abandons her female side and only retains her identity as a "saint", Demon Bell, who can't see her expression clearly, nodded when she heard the words: "Considering what is recorded in the classics, After every jihad, Pluto and Pluto fighters will be sealed, and we cannot rule out the possibility that Athena is also trapped in this kind of seal at this moment."

"..." The noble ghost fell silent.

It wasn't just him. After Mo Ling uttered his conjecture, everyone fell silent.

Because they had to believe that the guess made by Magic Bell might be the answer closest to the truth!

At the same time, this is also the cruelest answer.

Goddess Athena sealed by the power of God...

As saints, but they are only saints, what ability do they have to break such a seal?Is it like Hades and Hades fighters waited for 273 years before the seal weakened and eliminated by itself?

Heh... At that time, maybe neither they nor the reincarnation of the goddess of this generation will be alive...

It is not clear that Saori's deep sleep is not due to the seal, but the fact that the origin of the world has been stripped, and the severity is even worse than being sealed. In the "meeting room" not far from the awakened Goddess Athena, Qiqi fell into a long silence...

"Although I don't know the people here, even so, it's very happy to see them suffering from headaches and embarrassment."

In the deepest part of the underworld, which is more than thousands of miles away from the sanctuary, in the Pluto Temple located in the center of the Pure Land of Bliss, Thanadus comfortably picked up a Pluto pomegranate and put it in his mouth, while facing the projected image in mid-air, Mo Ling and the others who were facing the speechless pouted their mouths, gloating at their misfortune with no image of a god.

Zangma, who had long been aware of his small-mindedness and vindictive nature, was too lazy to answer the conversation, and focused on rubbing the stomach of Mokona who had just eaten a whole pomegranate the size of Hades' fist in his arms.

The little guy squinted his eyes and sat in his arms, as comfortable as if he was about to snore happily.

The demon fox's expression became a little more gentle.

Thanadus shrugged helplessly upon seeing this.

If Hades and Hypnos were not present, he wouldn't expect any response from Kurama!

And thinking of the reason why his majesty and brother were not here, Lord Reaper couldn't help sighing secretly——

After all, there is still the consciousness of being a god, those two people.

Thanadus himself is a more willful kind of god.If he hadn't been subdued by the unfathomable strength of his Majesty back then, he might have already become a shopkeeper who bears the name of the god of death, but he would never be a responsible shopkeeper. How could he treat the underworld like he did before? Either way, take it to heart and work hard to maintain it like your brother?

So sometimes Thanadus really can't understand, my majesty and my brother are obviously the kind of little indifferent type who have nothing to do with them, why are they so concerned about duties and obligations?

This world belonged to human beings a long time ago, and the gods are already dispensable, aren't they?

But why are those two people still so busy in order to maintain the normal operation of the underworld every day like nothing happened?

like now.

It is obviously a world that has nothing to do with them.

Obviously, after leaving, he will never come back.

However, they still dealt with the aftermath of the local Pluto who may have fallen into a long sleep for thousands of years because of being deprived of the origin of the world. The ruler can also operate well, but at the same time, because the sanctuary also lost Athena and can no longer conduct jihad with the underworld, he will not take advantage of the vacancy and seek "the right to rule the earth." (Zeus's miserable father knows that this thing has never fallen into Athena's hands!)

So I really don't know what the meaning of the existence of that little girl Athena is.

Clearly, he has not done a good job in maintaining the peace of the earth, which she regards as the incarnation of darkness and death, His Majesty →_→——Shaking his head, he said that this passage should never be heard by his Majesty and his brother Silently complaining out of his mind, Thanadus lazily raised half of his eyelids, and glanced at a certain fox and a certain white ball full of pink breath: "I said, there is no news from that witch?"

Kurama, who was playing thumb sumo with Mokona, didn't even raise his head, "Well, weren't you at the side when I communicated with Yuko-san yesterday? Didn't you see that she was also very troubled. After all, this This matter is really troublesome, even Miss Yuko, probably can't come up with relevant information as easily as before."

As he spoke, he took the time to glance out the window:

"By the way, why haven't Hades and the others come back?"

"..." Thanadus, who hadn't said anything in the follow-up, was choked up, and glared at Zangma angrily.

"It can't be that fast." He snorted, "It will take a lot of time just to re-divide the authority and responsibilities of the surviving underworld fighters, and there is also the damage caused to the buildings of the underworld prisons during the holy war." It is necessary to arrange manpower to repair it as soon as possible, and the degree of sealing of the gods of death and sleep in this world will not make them sleep for thousands of years like the local Pluto and Athena who have been stripped of the origin of the world, so in order to prevent them from waking up early and causing some Due to some unknowable changes, His Majesty is bound to strengthen the seal on those two, not to mention that His Majesty plans to take Radamandis away together this time-one of the three giants of the underworld disappears for no reason, which will make the entire underworld How can we not make all kinds of preparations in advance for things that are in shock..."

— blah blah blah.

Thanadus, who claims to be neither interested nor concerned about these extremely troublesome things, kept opening and closing his thin lips, speaking at a rapid pace and constantly narrating. Discovered at once.

And when he found out...

It's too late.

A smile half ridiculed and half admiring already appeared on Yaohu's face.

"As expected of Lord Death."

He smiled.

"..." Thanadus felt as if he was choking again.

He glared at Zangma angrily, and then no matter how much the demon fox teased (?!) intentionally or unintentionally, he refused to speak to him again.

***

Zangma and Hades continued to stay in this world for nearly half a month, until Hades and Hypnos remotely controlled and presided over the restoration work of the underworld through Radamandis. Can't get any news from Yuko.

Yaohu gradually felt a little worried.

Because not only did they not get contact from Yuko, but even the communication initiated by this side before was not successfully connected, which made Kurama feel a little bad feeling in his heart.

He was hesitating whether to go directly to the next world, where he continued the "task" of changing his fate, while waiting for Yuko to restore contact, but Yuko, who had lost contact for many days, took the initiative to send a message!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ~ something was delayed a few days ago, and I didn't even receive the communication from your side."

As soon as the communication screens on both sides were connected, Yuko immediately explained what happened before. Seeing that Kurama and Mokona were relieved after hearing the words, she paused, and a flash of joy seemed to flash in her eyes for a moment. Strange emotions that make people unable to see clearly...

However, before Kuruma got to the bottom of it, she had already returned to her usual appearance——

"However, my hard work these days is not fruitless."

The red-eyed Miss Witch stretched out a finger and shook it back and forth in front of the screen a few times.

"Although about whether the origin of the world can be integrated with the 'gift of the world' held by Kurama, and how to integrate it, I can't give you a more definite answer for the time being."

While talking, Yuko leaned over and leaned closer to Kurama and the others: "However, I can affirm that all your questions can be answered in the next world you are about to go to."

"Oh?" Kurama raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, "Is this the answer obtained by Miss Yuko's divination?"

"...That's right."

"……Well."

The fox was silent for a moment.

"I see."

Finally, he raised his head and made eye contact with Yuzi on the screen again: "Since it is the result of Miss Yuzi's divination."

"I guess I have nothing to hesitate."

"...Very good." The witch was startled when she heard the words, then raised the corners of her lips and smiled charmingly.

"Then, go forward bravely, boy!"

Before the words fell, Yuko who was opposite had already ended the communication first.

On the other side of the screen, Kurama turned his head and exchanged a puzzled look with Hades who was sitting next to him——

"I always feel...Miss Yuko seems a little strange..."

he murmured.
