The Holy War Begins (First Update)

"You're saying this Owl can help me find my sister?"

Because of Shun's words, Seiya temporarily lowered his guard against Hawking. However, when Hawking said he would use the Owl on his shoulder to find his sister, a look of suspicion immediately appeared on his face.

If it weren't for Hawking's truly extraordinary performance, he would have knocked Hawking away with Pegasus Meteor Fist.

The Kido family searched the whole world for over a year without finding him, and he found him with just Owl?

Hawking smiled and nodded:

"If you don't believe me, that's fine, otherwise just do as I say and quickly write a letter to your sister."

"Seiya, I don't think Mr. Hawking is lying."

Seeing that Seiya was still hesitating, Shun immediately spoke up.

"All right."

Despite his disbelief, Seiya, thinking he had nothing to lose, went to write the letter anyway.

At this moment, Hawking turned his attention back to Shun.

"As expected, an even more powerful soul lies hidden within him."

According to his memory, the soul of Hades, should still reside within Shun's body.

Hades, with sorrowful yet clear eyes, is the solitary god of the Underworld. He is the son of Cronus, the king of the Titan God Race, and Rhea, the queen of the gods, and the creator of the Underworld.

Because they believed that humans were stupid, filthy, and beyond redemption, they created a terrifying afterlife.

The purpose is to ensure that those who have accumulated evil karma suffer endless torment and cannot be reborn after death.

Every two hundred years or so, he would break Athena's seal, his soul would descend to earth, choose a pure human body as a temporary form, and lead his subordinate gods and Specters in Holy War.

The goal is to completely destroy the foolish human race.

In this Holy War, Hades chose to descend into Shun's body. Hades had already taken up residence in Shun's body shortly after Shun's birth.

Hawking only vaguely sensed Hades and chose not to wake him.

Because he still couldn't determine just how strong Hades was.

Hades, one of the Twelve Main Gods of this world, created the Underworld, Hell, and Elysium, and controls the death of all life in the universe. He can defeat five God Warriors with a single blow.

Such strength should not be underestimated.

If placed in the Marvel Universe, it would probably be comparable to the Judges.

"Alright!"

Seiya quickly brought over a written letter.

Hawking handed the letter to Owl to carry it to, and said to Seiya and Shun:

"Let's go to the vicinity of the Sanctuary first, and then let it help you find your sister."

If you release Owl from here, it will probably take several days for it to fly to Greece. But if you release it near the Sanctuary, it will be found in less than half an hour.

Why go to the vicinity of the Sanctuary first?

Seiya and Shun both looked puzzled.

Hawking did not answer directly, but looked at Seiya:

"If your sister had been taken to the Sanctuary to fight for the Saint Cloth, and you were the child left behind, what would you have done?"

"Of course, it's to escape the orphanage and go to the Sanctuary to rescue my sister. That's not the place."

At this point, Seiya's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, you mean that when my sister ran away from the orphanage back then, she went to the Sanctuary to find me!"

But then he hesitated.

"But if my sister really went to the Sanctuary to find me, then why haven't I seen her yet?"

"Your sister was only ten years old at the time. It's not easy for a ten-year-old girl to travel from here to Greece. Moreover, even if she got to Athens, it would be unlikely that she could enter the Sanctuary."

Do you remember how Marin introduced the Sanctuary to you back then?

Hawking couldn't help but roll his eyes.

To be honest, he thought it was quite impressive that Seika was able to safely travel from Tokyo to Athens on her own.

Seiya thought for a moment and murmured:

"The Sanctuary is a sacred place blessed by Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. It is not far from Athens, the largest city in Greece, but it is isolated from the secular world and stands among the mountains."

It's not even recorded on maps, and even reconnaissance satellites with resolutions as high as meters wouldn't be able to detect it.

The Sanctuary, imbued with the "will of the gods," is hidden by dozens of layers of barriers, completely unaffected by enemies. It is the holy land inhabited by the Saints who protect peace on Earth, and is also known as the last stronghold protecting peace on Earth.

Apart from Saints warriors and related personnel, no one else may enter the Sanctuary without the Pope's permission.

At this moment, he finally understood what Hawking meant. His sister might have been near the Sanctuary all along, but as an ordinary person, she had no way to enter the Sanctuary to see him.

"Let's go, to the Sanctuary!"

Hawking used his aura to envelop Seiya and Shun, and they flew swiftly towards Greece.

Saints have awakened the Seventh Sense can unleash Light Speed Fist and move at near the speed of light, but unless they have mastered a special ability, most of them do not have the ability to fly.

Even if you can fly, your speed is still slower than the speed of a punch or movement.

Because punching and moving are effects achieved by the Cosmo working in conjunction with the physical body, while flying is achieved by using the power of the Cosmo to drag the body, the speed is naturally greatly reduced.

Seiya and Shun are both Saints who cannot fly, so if they want to go to the Sanctuary, they will basically have to take an airplane.

Of course, they could choose to run there, but that would involve traversing mountains and rivers and swimming across the sea, which is generally unnecessary unless they are in a particular hurry.

Five minutes later, the three appeared in the Yamanaka outside the Sanctuary.

"Is that Athena's Cosmo?"

Hawking looked at the Sanctuary ahead, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

The Hades within Shun's body had not yet awakened, so he was actually unable to fully sense just how powerful Hades's Cosmo truly was.

However, Athena is different. She is now basically fully awake, and she is still in the Sanctuary. He can fully feel the power of Athena's Cosmo as the goddess of war.

Compared to his current Cosmo, which he inherited when Seiya had just reached Gold Saint level, Athena's Cosmo is tens of thousands of times stronger.

Fortunately, the Cosmo is only one of the powers he has gained so far; his main power is still the power of Qi.

Even so, if Hades' Cosmo comparable to Athena's, then he might not necessarily be able to defeat her now.

However, he has many tricks up his sleeve; even if he can't win, he can still escape.

"Hmm, these Cosmo filled with dark energy, could it be..."

Just then, he suddenly sensed that the Sanctuary had suddenly gained many powerful Cosmo, all of which were biased towards death and darkness.

If this happens at this time, there's only one possibility.

The Holy War is about to begin!

"Mr. Hawking, may we begin looking for my sister?"

Seeing Hawking staring blankly in the direction of the Sanctuary, Seiya reminded him with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Once he came to his senses, Hawking released the Owl carrying the envelope, and then, along with Seiya and Shun, followed the Owl into the Yamanaka.
