Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Just as Jagufrid, Surut, and Frodi set sail together, enjoying a wonderful holiday under the warm Mediterranean sun and gentle sea breeze, Queen Hilda, far away in the Nordic Asgard, approached the wise Albelis with a solemn expression. Her steps were hurried, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

Upon meeting Albelisi, Queen Hilda took a deep breath and began to recount the details of the banquet in detail. Every detail was described clearly and accurately, making the audience feel as if they were there in person, experiencing the tense and delicate atmosphere of the banquet.

Albelisi listened quietly, his deep eyes gleaming with thought. When Hilda finished his story, he lapsed into a long silence. Time ticked by, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Finally, after a long silence, Albelisi slowly spoke, "This banquet contained both expected and unexpected events."

He paused, then analyzed, "Poseidon, the God of the Sea, and his side have long been eager to fight for power in the secular world. The purpose of their holding this dinner party is undoubtedly to test and explore the various forces. As for that guy Julian, he was like a mad dog and launched a fanatical love offensive against Kido Sashi. This is obviously an absurd behavior caused by his desire and sperm in his brain." After saying this, Albelisi shook his head slightly, with a hint of disdain on his face.

Something unexpected happened! At this moment of seemingly stable, balanced checks and balances among the four factions, Julian's ambitions suddenly became apparent, as he attempted to bring the entire Mediterranean coast, the Americas, and Australia under his control. Such a massive appetite was truly astonishing! At the same time, even more unexpected was the fact that the Underworld would launch an attack on Asgard without warning.

At this moment, Alberich stood before the enormous world map in his study, his gaze fixed on Europe. His brow furrowed, lost in thought, "The Underworld's current situation is truly difficult. Geographically, they've been pushed into a corner. To the north lies our Asgard's sphere of influence. In recent years, our Asgard has grown rapidly, expanding its territory. This has undoubtedly placed immense pressure on the Underworld, severely constricting their space for survival and development."

If the Underworld chooses to march south, they will face stiff resistance from the Sanctuary. The two factions have a feud that stretches back thousands of years, leaving them entangled in a ragtag rivalry. While the Sanctuary's overall strength has been significantly reduced due to Saga's betrayal, as the saying goes, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse," and they still have the goddess Athena at their helm!

As for the underworld to the east, there is a vast ocean with no end in sight. That is the territory of Poseidon, the king of the sea. Even if the underworld can successfully cross this ocean, it will be useless to them. After all, they are not as good at controlling the water as the king of the sea.

Journeying westward might seem straightforward, given the vast expanse and expansive space. However, a closer look at the western reaches of the underworld reveals a desolate and barren land. Its economy is utterly backward, its people live in poverty, and its population is sparse and scattered. Taking control of such a region would not only require immense effort to govern and regulate, but the tangible benefits would be minimal—a truly unprofitable undertaking.

Therefore, if the Underworld truly seeks to grow and develop, it will inevitably come into fierce conflict with our Celestial Palace and the Sanctuary. Now, the Sea Region has already taken the lead in attacking the Sanctuary. It's not surprising that among these four factions, the Underworld has chosen to target our Celestial Palace.

Because whether they are genuinely trying to expand their sphere of influence in the Asgard or just bluffing, this move will allow the Sanctuary and the Sea to engage in a fierce battle without any scruples, thus continuing to maintain the balance of power among the four parties.

Faced with such a serious and complex situation, Xiluda couldn't help but frown and asked solemnly, "Then how should we respond?"

Albelisi, standing by, gnashed his teeth and said bitterly, "Fight! We must resolutely and decisively counterattack the other party's provocation and aggression. As the saying goes, 'One blow is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming.' If we want to successfully protect the foundation and heritage of the Asgard in this turbulent and chaotic world, we must fully demonstrate the Asgard's unparalleled strength and majesty, so that other forces will not dare to use force against us easily!"

Immediately afterwards, Albelisi stood up and, with a serious expression, began to summon the senior officials of the Asgard. Once everyone was gathered, he methodically made a series of detailed arrangements.

First, he ordered the rapid mobilization of one-third of Asgard's combatants, in addition to the God Warriors, to rush to the southern region of Asgard to garrison. He did not place high demands on these soldiers, nor did he expect them to achieve outstanding military exploits. However, he emphasized one key point: they must protect their own safety at critical moments. Their most crucial mission was to deliver important information promptly and accurately during tense situations.

Next, Alberich turned his attention to the Asgardian Inquisition. With a decisive wave of his hand, he ordered all of the Inquisition's spies to be deployed in full force, deploying a comprehensive operational network and intensifying surveillance of the three factions. He also dispatched additional combatants and spies to the long coastline of Northern Europe, maintaining a high level of vigilance to guard against sudden attacks from the sea.

At this moment, Hilda, who had been sitting in a high seat, quietly listening to the deployment, suddenly stood up. Her beautiful face revealed an expression of shock that was difficult to conceal. She said anxiously, "Albelisi, are you saying that the Underworld is very likely to collude with the Sea Realm, forming an alliance and jointly launching an attack on our Asgard? This is simply unbelievable!"

"In my opinion, this situation shouldn't occur right now. You have to remember that within that vast ocean lies the formidable rival of the Holy Land. The grudge between the two is long-standing, a deep hatred stretching back tens of millions of years that can't be easily resolved. Especially since Julian can't get Saori Kido, his love for her could easily turn to hatred, leading him to resort to extreme measures.

Furthermore, our Asgard may not be taken seriously by Julian yet, but when the Sea and the Sanctuary decide the outcome, who can guarantee that the winner will not point the finger at us?

Furthermore, the Underworld and the Sea might already be secretly colluding and forming an alliance. After all, Hades, the God of the Underworld, and Poseidon, the God of the Sea, are brothers from the same father and mother, so cooperation is commonplace. In short, it's important to plan ahead and prevent any disasters before they occur. "It's best to be fully prepared as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected events!" Albelisi said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly issued several orders. Upon receiving these orders, all personnel involved in the battle and those responsible for gathering intelligence, save for the exceptionally powerful God Warriors, sprang into action. They surged toward the coastal areas and the southern border, launching a strategic realignment of unprecedented proportions. This effectively prevented any sudden attacks from the Underworld and the sea, ensuring the safety of Asgard.

As expected, just as Albelis had predicted, after the grand banquet last night, when everyone from the Sanctuary and Asgard had left, Julian eagerly extended an olive branch of alliance to Radamanthys. It seemed that before coming to the banquet, Julian had already received the consent and instructions of either Dalatos, the god of death, or Hypnos, the god of sleep.

For this reason, Radamanthys briefly considered Julian's proposal for an alliance before nodding his head in agreement. A crucial agreement was then reached: Julian's Sea Realm would spearhead a fierce offensive against the Sanctuary; Radamanthys's Underworld would shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending against the Asgardians. Upon achieving victory, both sides would share rule of the world, dividing their respective spheres of influence equally.

However, it's worth noting that the agreement doesn't explicitly mention what measures the other party should take if one side encounters defeat. From this perspective, both the sea and the underworld seem to have complete confidence in their own strength, so much so that they haven't even considered the possibility of failure.

With the successful alliance between the Sea and the Underworld, the forces of both parties began to quietly infiltrate the spheres of influence of the Sanctuary and the Nordic Asgard. In the initial stages, they only sent a small number of insignificant minions as vanguard troops to test the enemy's strength and determine their true combat capabilities. All of this was meticulous preparation for the impending world war...
