〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
Even the usually calm and collected El Cid couldn't help but exclaim in shock,
"How is this possible! Is the blessing of divine blood invincible?!"
Regulus, the Leo who had given his all, should have completely dealt with him, so why is he still alive even after all that?!
Has he also reached the same realm as Sisyphus, the Eighth Sense?!!
Confusion enveloped everyone's hearts. They couldn't understand why Rhadamanthys, who no longer had a heart, could still fly into the sky.
Cardia of Scorpio gritted his teeth and said,
"Is this guy unkillable?!"
He didn't die from the Scarlet Needle Katakeo, and now he's still alive even without a heart! This is simply too hard to kill.
Shion closed his eyes slightly:
"Even Regulus is gone... Sanctuary only has Dohko and me left as Gold Saints!"
This generation of Gold Saints is unprecedentedly powerful, but the enemy should not be underestimated either.
The Pope, looking at the intelligence and techniques recorded in his hand, once again revealed a confident smile:
"The details of the Underworld Army are almost clear. This Holy War will be different!"
Many unnecessary sacrifices can be avoided. Then, the Pope's gaze fell upon Regulus, who had closed his eyes to sense the Eighth Sense after Leo died in the video...
Hehe, Rhadamanthys, the upcoming Holy War! I'm afraid you will be facing the Eighth Sense, Leo!
.....
[ The scene shifts, time returns to when Gemini was banished to the Marvelous Room by Yoma!
Outside the Water Demon Palace, Shion, Little Leo, and Tenma, carrying the sealed Athena, stood before this ancient giant gate.
As the gate opened, what greeted them was endless darkness, but the three did not find any traces of Specters.
In the dark space, the ticking sound of a clock echoed. Tenma, sensing danger, quickly called out to Shion and Little Leo, but was shocked to find that their movements had all stopped in place!
However, Sasha, whose divine power was sealed, woke up!
"Time, please wait! You are so beautiful! Aren't you, my dear son!"
Then, Yoma, with a beard and an excited smile, embraced Tenma with great emotion: "I've missed you so much, Tenma!"
Tenma was full of resistance. Since he had consciousness, he had been wandering with his mother: "Don't touch me casually!!"
For the father he had never seen, who had left his mother alone, Tenma had no other emotion but disgust.
Almost reflexively, he kicked at Yoma, and the latter cooperated by falling to the ground. ]

"It seems this is what happened when Yoma threw Gemini into the Marvelous Room. At this time, Leo hadn't died yet!"
"Time stop is really useful. Here, I'm afraid no one will be Yoma's opponent right now!"
This grand scene of a loving father and son really amused everyone.
They secretly thought... You can be arrogant now, but when Gemini comes out, your good days will be over, Yoma... Eh, no Kairos.
.....
[ However, Yoma was not angry. Instead, he picked up a cigarette butt from the ground and, with a smile, began to tell stories from the past!
Under the spotlight, like a stage play, Yoma showed Tenma scenes of their family of three together in the past.
What surprised Tenma even more was that his mother and Yoma had both once served as servants in the Pandora family! And knew Pandora.
When the evil star awakened in Yoma's body, the peaceful era suffocated him. He wanted to disturb the world and revel in the chaotic land!
So he came to Italy in the West and gathered with other awakened Specters.
At the same time, Yoma's face outside the stage gradually revealed a playful smile: "In the birthplace of Hades, Pegasus, the only one who can defeat Hades, was born as the child of Mephistopheles Yoma!"
Yoma's words plunged Tenma into deep self-doubt. If what the other party said was true, then he was a genuine Specter and had no right to step into Sanctuary!
Yoma ignored the suffering Tenma and continued to speak to himself, saying that Pegasus was just a seed he had planted, but... it wasn't interesting enough!
"To give you a dance partner, I planted another dark seed..."
It was a snowy night, the day before Pandora's brother was about to be born!
Once Hades descends, the Holy War will begin, but such a bland opening was somewhat boring for Yoma.
So! Under the cover of night, he actually stole Hades' soul, abducted it to distant Italy, and placed it in the body of a boy with the purest heart, which was Alone's body. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Good heavens, Yoma, who has done all sorts of evil, turns out to be behind everything! What kind of sick humor is this?"
"Tenma's parents were both servants of the Pandora family, and Tenma, as a child, was even held by Pandora! How did this turn into a family drama?"
Everyone was stunned. Although you were very powerful before, you have been demoted to the mortal world and are constantly reincarnating, unable to even pass through the divine passage. Are you still so bold?!
He even dared to tamper with the soul of Hades... This Yoma is a typical troublemaker who loves to stir up trouble, and he can be called the biggest screenwriter of this Holy War!
.....
〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
On Kanon Island, Defteros, seeing the information related to Yoma, stopped his training and snorted:
"Does messing with other people's lives make you so happy! Demon..."
And in Hades Castle, an indescribable fear and shock surged into Pandora's heart. What the hell was this bastard talking about?
"It wasn't Partita who stole my brother... IT WAS THIS BASTARD!!!"
Could it be that she was really deceived?! If Yoma was telling the truth, then everything she had done would be worthless and meaningless!
This belated truth would have been better left unknown! Because she had already killed her servant, and also her friend, Partita, in her rage.
Thinking of this, Pandora slumped powerlessly to the ground, as if she had fallen into an abyss, her heart tormented by endless pain.
.....
[ Yoma guided Tenma to the town, and then Alone and Sasha became good friends with Tenma, which was exactly what he wanted to see!
However, one thing exceeded his expectations. Perhaps sensing Yoma's act of stealing Hades' soul, Athena actually descended to the human world as Alone's sister!
She wanted Hades to live as a human and hoped that the Holy War would naturally disappear...
But in Yoma's eyes, this approach was completely wishful thinking! Instead, it made his chess game even more exquisite!
And now all the mysteries have been revealed by Yoma, and the initiative of the plot has fallen into the hands of Tenma, Alone, and Sasha. Yoma then flew into the sky again, leaving here!
He will quietly watch this drama, which bet on all life on Earth, from above the clouds. ]

"Now I finally know why Kronos kicked his own brother out of mythology. This is simply a pyscho, WHO CAN STAND IT?!!"
"Athena's approach is not incomprehensible. It's naturally best to stop the Holy War from its root, assuming no one interferes."
Yoma truly is the most damned existence. He actually fools everyone; everything is under his control, and everyone's fate seems to be just his toy.
.....
[ On the other side, all the Specters gathered in Hades' grand hall! Pandora and Alone stood side by side.
"The time has come to realize my ideal!" Alone looked at the Specters below:
"Are you willing to pay with your lives for this day?!"
Hearing this, the Specters expressed their willingness, shouting!
Hearing these loyal voices, tears of emotion actually flowed from Alone's eyes:
"This is my revered Underworld Army... my..."
The next second, Alone, still emotional, suddenly drew a large X in the air with his paintbrush, just like the move he once used on Tenma.
In an instant, all the Specters immediately spewed out blood mist from their mouths, and then all lost their lives, the crimson blood staining the space red.
"Wh-what..." Only at this moment did Pandora realize that the person in front of her was not her brother Hades at all!
"ALONE!!!"
Rage replaced reason, and Pandora's trident angrily stabbed towards Alone!
Hades' soul had not awakened at all, and it was Alone himself who controlled Hades' divine power from beginning to end!
She still couldn't believe that a mere human could manipulate herself, the Underworld Army, and even the Twin Gods! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Holy crap!! There's another twist?! I never would have thought of this..."
"Damn, this is too much acting. He's practically playing the gods in the palm of his hand."
This sudden scene left everyone dumbfounded!
It can only be said that when flattering your leader, don't go too far; otherwise, you'll end up like the Specters who said they were willing to give up their lives, and the leader took it seriously, leading to an instantaneous demise.
Coming back to their senses, everyone suddenly realized that in this Holy War, the one who eliminated the most Specters was actually Hades himself! He should be awarded the MVP of the entire event.
It's just... everyone would rather he be Hades, otherwise, how to explain why he killed everyone in the town, not even sparing his good friend Tenma...
