Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Time flies by, fleeting, day after day, uneventful and uneventful. Yet, beneath this seemingly peaceful surface, the open and covert struggles between the various factions never cease. They are like a lit powder keg, ready to ignite a devastating war with the slightest misstep. While the current situation remains a period of constant skirmishing, the atmosphere of tension is already pervasive.

In such a delicate situation, Julian Thoreau, the incarnation of the sea cucumber Poseidon, once again extended a sincere invitation to Saori Kido, the incarnation of the goddess Athena, inviting her to the magnificent seaside of Athens to discuss many important issues facing the sanctuary and the vast ocean.

When this news reached Kido Saori, she took it lightly. Perhaps due to her absolute confidence in her own abilities, or perhaps for other unknown reasons, this somewhat overconfident goddess embarked on a journey to the Promised Land with only two capable warriors: Leo Gold Saint Aiolia and Scorpio Gold Saint Milo.

After a long journey, Kido Saori, Milo, and Aiolia finally arrived at their destination. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Julian Thoreau standing alone on the rough seashore, the sea breeze blowing his clothes, like a picture of loneliness and determination.

Sensing the sound behind him, Julian, who had been facing the sea in deep thought, slowly turned. His lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. Then, with steady steps, he approached Kido Saori and the others. The sunlight cast a golden outline on him, making him look even more mysterious and powerful.

Julian, smiling gracefully, walked up to Saori Kido, bowed slightly, gently grasped her fair, delicate hand, and placed his lips against it in a standard, gentlemanly kiss. He then stood up, gazed lovingly at Saori Kido, and said softly, "Beautiful Miss Saori, would you be so kind as to join me for a stroll and chat while we admire this enchanting seascape?"

Saori Kido thought for a moment and didn't seem to notice anything wrong, so she waved her hand casually, turned to Aiolia and Milo behind her and said, "You just wait here for a moment." After that, she turned around and walked slowly along the shore with Julian.

A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling their hair. Julian, unable to contain his excitement, broke the silence first: "Ms. Saori, do you still remember the suggestion I made to you earlier? Now, can you please give me a clear answer, are you willing to marry me?"

"If our two families could marry and become a harmonious couple, and after we successfully defeat the Underworld and Asgard, the entire world would be ours to rule together." Julian spoke with growing excitement, his eyes gleaming with a fiery light, as if he had already seen that beautiful future.

However, despite Julian's straightforward and passionate proposal, Kido Saori remained unmoved. She paused, turned to face Julian, and replied with a serious and firm expression, "I'm sorry, Mr. Julian. Love can't be forced. I can't go against my will and agree to your request."

Furthermore, our Sanctuary will never easily compromise or back down on matters of principle. If your sea area continues to harass us like this, without restraint, then don't blame us for showing no mercy." With that, Kido Saori narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing a hint of majesty.

Hearing Saori Kido's firm refusal and warning words, Julian not only did not show any intention of backing down, but instead raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a disdainful smile: "Oh? You're welcome? I really don't know what kind of means your Sanctuary means by 'you're welcome'. Are you going to declare war directly on our waters?" His words were full of provocation and contempt.

"If your sea area continues to be so aggressive, then war is very likely to happen. Even if your sea area forms an alliance with the underworld, what can it do? We in the Holy Land will never retreat and will fight to the end with all our strength." Saori Kido looked solemn, staring at the other party with a sharp gaze, and said these words righteously.

"Haha...haha...haha! Kido Saori, oh Kido Saori, you are so arrogant and self-righteous! Do you really think that our sea area relies only on the power of the underworld? You underestimate the strength of our sea area! In fact, my original plan was to unite the power of your holy land to jointly deal with the underworld and the Asgard.

"But I never expected you to reject my proposal without hesitation. So, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will launch an attack on your Sanctuary first. Once you've been completely defeated, I'll free my hands to annihilate Asgard and the Underworld. Then, this entire world will be under my feet, and I will rule everything!" Julian held his head high, his face filled with arrogance. He laughed unbridled, his laughter echoing in the air, chilling everyone.

"Julian, you're simply dreaming! As long as our Sanctuary remains, as long as our Saints hold their ground, your ambition to unify the world will never succeed!" Kido Saori fearlessly met Julian's defiant gaze and responded firmly. Her voice was clear and resonant, filled with unwavering conviction.

"Haha! Then let's just ride the donkey and watch the opera—we'll see! I just wonder if you'll actually be able to witness it all in person in the end?" Julian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a creepy, eerie smile. Then, he turned and walked away, leaving behind only a sinister and terrifying figure.

"Hmph! If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Let's see who's the winner on the battlefield!" Kido Saori said sternly, then turned and left resolutely. However, just as she took a few steps, a shrill, wild laugh suddenly came from behind her.

"Hahahaha... Saori Kido, since you dare to come here today, do you still think that you can leave safely without any harm? Your idea is too naive! I have given you a chance before, but you didn't know what was good for you and failed to cherish it. So now don't blame me for being cruel!" Julian shouted arrogantly, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

"What did you say? Julian, are you crazy? What exactly do you want to do?" Saori Kido felt something was wrong when she heard the voice, and turned back with a look of horror on her face and asked.

Julian sneered in response to Kido Saori's questioning, saying nothing more. Then, he slowly extended his right hand and gently waved it toward the turbulent sea. Instantly, the previously calm surface seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, quickly forming a massive vortex tens of meters in diameter. This vortex spun faster and faster, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if it threatened to engulf everything around it.

As time passed, the center of the vortex began to slowly rise, generating an incredibly powerful suction force. Poor Saori Kido had no time to react before she was instantly swept into the sea. Almost instantly, Julian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile. Without hesitation, he leaped into the bottomless vortex.

"Miss Saori! Miss Saori..." Aiolia and Milo cried out in a frantic voice from afar. They sensed something was wrong and hurried over. However, it was too late. Who could have predicted Julian's treacherous tactics? This sudden turn of events had caught them off guard.

When they arrived at the shore, breathlessly, the turbulent sea had returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. Only the two Gold Saints were still shouting at the top of their lungs, calling out Miss Saori's name...
