Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Kardia’s Past, Degel vs. the Sea Fighter

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

This unexpected scene, however, made everyone’s eyes reveal an unbelievable look, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

“Holy shit! It only took two moves from start to finish to end the battle. This is the fastest battle between a Saint and a Specter I’ve ever seen.”

“I didn’t expect that at the last moment, he would use his right hand as bait, like a scorpion, to launch a fatal blow. Well done!”

There were no fancy moves, only fist-to-flesh attacks. Both gambled their full power, and the final victor was Kardia, who single-handedly killed Radamanthys, one of the Three Judges of the Underworld!

He even only used two moves from start to finish, but the combat wisdom displayed was enough to prove that Kardia was not as anxious as he appeared on the outside… on the contrary, he was full of rationality.

A certain General once said, “It’s better to break one finger than to injure ten.” Pain is contagious… especially when Kardia’s index finger was brutally broken, everyone winced!

…..

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜

“Kardia’s moves don’t seem to have much destructive power, but they can make the opponent’s blood boil. It can be said that if you hit, you die…”

Da Vinci saw the clue at a glance. In terms of destructive power, among the Gold Saints who appeared, Kardia’s moves might be at the bottom.

However, in terms of actual lethality to people, that’s another matter… Scarlet Needle can basically be compared with Aphrodite’s Bloody Rose. A hit means death. It can be said to be a treasure specifically for humans.

Dr. Roman also sighed:

“Alas… Although he won, Kardia won’t live either.”

Kardia’s terrifying heart temperature at this moment, even if he didn’t die, he wouldn’t live long, but… the record of single-handedly killing one of the Three Judges of the Underworld is indeed impressive.

You know, the Three Judges of the Underworld can be said to be the number one person in Hades’ faction besides the gods.

…..

〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜

Watching Kardia’s one-for-one record with Radamanthys, the Pope gently nodded.

As expected of the only Saint who dared to pinch Lady Athena, his strength is indeed outstanding.

Manigoldo, who had already figured out Kardia’s personality, even joked directly:

“Hey, hey, hey, why is he the only one who got such light injuries?”

Yes, a broken finger was considered light in Manigoldo’s eyes. After all, among the Gold Saints who appeared, besides Asmita, breaking an arm or a leg was considered normal operation.

—

In Hades Castle, Minos, one of the Three Judges of the Underworld, immediately felt much more balanced. Although he lost to Albafica due to carelessness, at least he had a crushing victory against the Gold Saints.

“Tsk tsk… Radamanthys, that guy, couldn’t even deal with a mere Gold Saint.”

The most crucial thing was that Radamanthys used his full power and still lost to a mere Gold Saint, which was too pathetic.

…..

[ After an extremely fierce battle, Kardia finally defeated Radamanthys, and his own life also came to an end.

“I’ll leave the rest to you…”

He could feel the heat in his heart gradually disappearing, but his face still held a smile. Perhaps this was his most magnificent curtain call!

When he was young, he suffered from congenital heart disease. At the age of ten, doctors diagnosed him with only one year to live. Unwilling to wait for death in bed, he secretly ran out to “enjoy life“.

But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He met the old gold saint Aquarius, Krest, and obtained the divine blood of the previous goddess, which allowed him to prolong his life and be trained as a Gold Saint in the Sanctuary.

His heart actually couldn’t bear the power of the goddess’s blood. Once his Cosmo burned to its limit, his heart would overburn. So, throughout his life, he was searching for an opponent worthy of burning his life for.

Perhaps in his consciousness, he was a being with not long to live, which is why he wanted to see the prosperity of the outside world, even taking the young Athena Sasha from the Sanctuary to America to play, and almost messed things up… and he also often pinched the goddess’s face.

But at the same time, he did not forget his mission as a Saint. The meaning of life is not in eternity, but in the splendor of a moment, like a fireworks display.

So he urgently needed a battle that would allow him to burn his life and sacrifice everything. Now… he could finally rest well. ]

“So under Kardia’s arrogant exterior, there was such a past… suffering from congenital heart disease, but surviving due to a blessing in disguise.”

“Not seeking eternal life, only seeking the splendor of a moment, Kardia did it. The glorious record of single-handedly killing one of the Three Judges is already dazzling enough.”

Now everyone’s expressions were a bit low. They finally knew why Kardia, who wasn’t a martial arts fanatic, was so obsessed with a battle where he could give his all!

Because from the beginning, his heart couldn’t bear his full power. Once his Cosmo burned to its limit, his heart would also burn. The life he barely saved also restricted him.

“Huh?! Wait… something seems wrong…”

Everyone who was still sighing was stunned. Taking the young Athena to America to play, almost messing things up, and even often pinching the goddess’s face?!

As expected of you, Kardia… Just this one sentence, “almost messed things up,” and not being beaten to death by the other Gold Saints, truly shows he’s incredibly lucky.

It’s also thanks to Athena’s good temper, or that she hadn’t awakened yet. No one else would dare to pinch the goddess’s face.

…..

〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜

“Take Lady Athena to America?!”

Sisyphus’s eyes were bewildered. Just the act of going out privately without permission was enough to brand him a defector, let alone taking Lady Athena with him.

“And often pinch Lady Athena’s face?!”

El Cid, who was close to Sisyphus, had a cold glint in his eyes.

Could these be things a Saint would do?! Just these actions alone could qualify him as the boldest Gold Saint in the Sanctuary.

“I think I can explain…”

Even the cynical Kardia felt a little guilty at this moment, facing the glaring eyes of the other Gold Saints.

“Fend for yourself, Kardia,”

The Pope sighed inwardly while covering his face. He knew that Kardia had almost made him die of anger back then.

…..

[ “Along with Wyvern’s Cosmo… Kardia’s Cosmo also disappeared…”

In the corridor of the temple, Dégel also felt Kardia’s rapidly dissipating Cosmo. His eyes were filled with sadness. In just a short moment, he had lost two friends.

“Your life has burned out…”

Dégel quickened his pace, then found Pandora fallen in a strange posture at the end of the corridor. His gaze shifted upwards, discovering a massive Cosmo emanating from the giant door ahead.

As Dégel continued forward, he found a familiar figure hanging on the wall ahead.

“What?! Impossible!!”

When Dégel approached and saw the figure clearly, his pupils constricted. That person was none other than Unity’s sister, Seraphina!

Just then, several corals attacked him, pinning him firmly to a rock pillar. A Marina General calling himself “Sea Dragon” emerged.

“I can help you obtain Poseidon’s legacy. In exchange, you need to help me transfer Poseidon’s soul into Seraphina’s body.”

Hearing this, Dégel instantly burst into rage. His Cosmo erupted, shattering the corals that bound him: “I FORBID IT!!”

The immense impact directly blew off the opposing Marina General’s helmet, and the face beneath the helmet appeared before Dégel.

Looking at the incredibly familiar face, Dégel was filled with astonishment and horror, because it was Unity, who had just died at Radamanthys’s hands! ]

[ …..]

“Hiss—Pandora’s long legs are truly amazing. Fortunately, it was a Gold Saint who came, otherwise… hehe.”

“Good heavens, without a word, a sneak attack, pinning someone to a stone pillar, and then stating your request… You call this asking for help?!”

Everyone was a bit confused by this Marina General’s way of thinking. Asking for help from someone, yet offending them severely first. Could it be that their brain are full of water?

…..

〜Sword Art Online World〜

“Wait… Didn’t Unity just die?!”

Kirito slapped the table, utterly bewildered.

Although they knew some gods could resurrect the dead, wasn’t this speed a bit too fast? It takes time to create a new character.

And not only did he not create a new character, he even logged in from a different location, directly switching factions to become a Marina General.

“Who resurrected Unity then?”

Asuna’s eyes were full of questions.

The only god known there at the moment was Poseidon, but could Poseidon, who only had his soul left, really have the power to resurrect others?

After all, he himself wanted to resurrect using Unity’s sister’s body.

…..

〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜

“What?! What on earth happened?”

Among those present, Dégel was undoubtedly the most surprised. His recently deceased friend, Unity, had actually been resurrected as a Marina General.

He even tried to use his sister’s body to resurrect Poseidon.

“Is there a problem with Poseidon’s seal?”

The Pope couldn’t help but think of the worst-case scenario. If he were truly resurrected, this Holy War would be unwinnable.

“No… the seal shouldn’t have any problems yet, otherwise he wouldn’t need Dégel’s power to break the seal.”

All the Gold Saints’ expressions became solemn. They had finally cleared the obstacles of the Twin Gods, and two of the Three Judges had been dealt with. The Holy War had shown signs of victory.
