How pathetic...
Why do we have to hide?
We don't have time to fight all of them.
I don't want to run or hide!
Subaru...
I'm the man who will be a god!
That's enough, Subaru!
We've been separated from Yuna and Haruto...
We can't split the party further!
Let me go.
You're crazy, kid...
Subaru, do you know why we're here?
We must get to Pallas's castle, no matter what.
I know that.
That's why I don't want to run or hide...
Not until I reach Pallas's castle.
Don't you feel a powerful Cosmo moving, one that doesn't belong to Pallas?
Do you?
I know this Cosmo.
Subaru's Terrifying Cosmo! Eden's Task!
Subaru's Terrifying Cosmo.
Eden's Task.
Wipe out anyone who enters Pallasvelda!
Don't let him reach Pallas's castle!
Did you say Pallas's castle?
I...
I have no interest in the castle of Pallas.
There's one thing drawing me here, a single Cosmo.
I still can't see Athena-oneesama?
I'm sick of this doll!
Let me see my real onee-sama!
I've dispatched the class-2 Pallasite Europa to handle the Saints.
You don't even need to worry about Pegasus anymore.
Really?
I believe you will be able to see Athena very soon.
Then I'll be able to see her soon!
Oh, it's Eden-kun...
What brings you here?
You're the class-2 Pallasite...
Yes...
The Chakram, Slash Reaper Europa.
I've been tasked with killing Pegasus.
But so many annoying flies buzz about...
It's a waste of my time.
Humans are such fools...
To oppose gods they have no hope of defeating.
So, Prince Eden,
you are no Saint of Athena. What brings you here?
Even I know the answer.
You didn't pretend to be one of us
and spy on us for Athena's sake.
It was...
It was for your own sake.
Yes, child of the war god, Mars...
You labor beneath a quandary, born of your divine father.
You lacked the coldness to be a god.
But you still cannot be human.
You are lost in the gulf between god and man.
Why do you live? Why do you fight?
You still cannot escape the bonds of Mars.
Indeed, are you not
looking for the reason that you exist?
I...
I knew it.
If I defeat you, will they call me a god-slayer, too?
Come!
Orion Cloth!
Well...
You are...
You are the Sagittarius Gold Saint, Seiya.
Have you come to challenge me?
Bravo!
Apparently, it's true that Gold Saints can move at the speed of light.
I'd love to enjoy myself,
but dealing with you properly would take quite a bit of time...
And as I have an urgent task, I'll be on my way.
So the class-2 Pallasites have begun to appear?
Are you all right, Eden?
How...
How can you, a human,
fight a powerful god so well?
How?
Can you see it?
This dying, withered town...
People trapped in stopped time, crushed by sadness and pain...
The one you care for, suffering as her life fades away?
I'm sure you have something like that...
Something you'd give your life to protect.
Something I'd give my life to protect?
Yes.
Perhaps I did, once.
However,
I am a demigod,
child of the god of war, Mars.
And because of that, I lost everything...
What...
What am I to protect now?
The act of living in itself
is a reason to fight.
No, the choice not to fight is also yours.
The choice not to fight?
The one thing I can say with certainty
is that you are not like Mars.
Follow your own path,
and you will find your answer there.
I will find my answer there?
Hello again. It's been a while.
Though it will be goodbye before long.
Europa!
I never expected that I, a class-2 Pallasite,
would find myself on the same battlefield as you...
What a disgrace!
What are you babbling about?
I'll fight you!
Subaru!
You'll make a great opponent.
And now I have to fight a Steel Saint?
I've fallen far in life...
Bratty little Saint!
Bring it!
Subaru!
Ready to go?
I feel an amazing Cosmo!
That's the power of a class-2 Pallasite.
Ryuho...
Soma!
Finally time for the Bronzes, huh?
I see, much faster this time.
This is my first time meeting you two...
I hope to enjoy it.
What a jerk!
Far less formidable than I expected.
Easier than anticipated...
No, that was a decoy.
You got behind me.
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
Did we get him?
Just kidding.
That was a little joke.
You couldn't defeat me so easily.
Let me tell you something...
Your defeat of the class-2 Pallasite Aegir was but chance.
He used too much power in his fight against Libra.
So it was just a fluke that you won.
See?
It wasn't through your own power.
That's enough playing around.
How foolish these humans are...
They know they can't win, but they still struggle so.
The most foolish creatures on Earth.
I dislike the idea of using these Chakrams on opponents that can't move,
but my orders were to kill Pegasus.
This Cosmo...
Oh? What's this?
What brings you here?
You haven't come to help them, have you?
No, you haven't...
You believe the answer you seek is here.
Eden!
I have not come here for answers...
I simply dislike the way
you Pallasites do things.
So I'll consider the answer myself,
once I've defeated you.
That sounds just like the son of a war god.
Come, Orion Cloth!
The power of a god, wielding the Cloth of Orion...
Taste the power of the new Orion Cloth!
That's Eden's...
His new Orion Cloth.
The man with the power of a god...
Tonitrui Fera Caelos!
So this is a god's power?
Orion's Devastation!
You expected a strike from close range would do that more damage?
No, that's not it...
This was to protect them?
You pulled me away from them so they wouldn't be caught up in the fight.
If you are a god,
you must be more cruel.
First, I will remove these distractions.
Terrible Slash!
Why do you work so hard to protect these humans?
Is it your human blood that makes you do this?
You insist on fighting us as a man, all to protect humanity?
Whether you like it or not,
you are a god!
It doesn't matter whether I'm a god or a human...
I am myself.
I don't need the power of a god
right now!
What?
He doesn't need the power of a god?
You can't...
That's not...
This Cosmo...
What a waste.
It's just...
Subaru!
It's just a waste!
Don't say you don't need a god's power!
That's such a waste!
What just happened?
This Cosmo...
Why is this punch so strong?
Could he be...
I have fallen to my knees.
I only kneel before Pallas-sama...
And to do so before you, a Steel Saint!
How dare you?
Roar, my Cosmo!
Orion's Extermination!
I see I must fall back and regroup.
Farewell!
Subaru!
Hey!
Are you okay?
He's out cold...
He burned such powerful Cosmo all at once.
Of course he's out.
Yeah.
Jeez, he's crazy.
Nothing new there, though.
I'm certain...
His Cosmo was what drew me here.
The godly blood within me tells me so.
Exactly...
who are you?
He's such a hassle.
Pegasus...
I shall go with you.
Eden...
Seriously?
Okay, then let's regroup with the others.
We're almost to Pallas's castle.
Yeah.
I'll need to watch over him.
Right now, that is my task...
Or perhaps...
That is my true fight.
To Be Continued
