Was that power really Omega?
They have mastered a part of Omega.
But they merely stand at the entrance of Omega.
With my Cataclysm Slash, I will slice them in two.
And their hope, as well.
I'm glad to hear it, Hyperion.
Eliminate the Saints as soon as you can.
And bring Athena-oneesama here.
I do not work for you.
I work for he who will soon appear.
And when that time comes, you will...
I am fully aware.
I don't understand you...
Titan, the new world is nearly upon us.
If you continue clinging to Pallas, you will die.
It's possible I may be forced to kill you myself.
I have made my decision.
I shall give my life for Pallas-sama.
Your resolve is unwavering, I see.
Then I will do this myself.
Everything will go according to plan.
The Golds Unite! The Forbidden Technique!
The Golds Unite.
The Forbidden Technique.
Athena!
I'm all right.
Quickly... We must move as quickly as possible.
To Pallas...
Athena's Cosmo is greatly weakened.
Does that mean Pallas is close?
Hey!
Don't you guys feel a giant Cosmo on the other side of that door?
Wh-What is this?
A building within a building?
A class-1 Pallasite's Cosmo must have created this space.
I feel an incredibly big Cosmo.
And I guess it's coming from you.
Are you a class-1 Pallasite?
I am no longer a class-1 Pallasite... No, I'm not even a Pallasite serving Pallas.
I am Hyperion, of the Cataclysm Slash!
Cataclysm Slash?
The blade that killed Genbu?
This holy blade will end your lives, as well.
You think you can win against five Gold Saints?
You have some strong bones.
But I can handle you myself...
Great Horn!
Cataclysm Slash!
What?
Harbinger!
His Gold Cloth is damaged?
No, not damaged... It's nearly destroyed!
Shiryu!
Hyperion, was it?
I shall avenge my fellow student, Genbu.
Fellow student?
Is that so?
So he was your...
He was quite a man.
He managed to scratch my holy blade...
But that was because I was not the one wielding it.
Only I, the Cataclysm Slash's true master, can bring out its full power.
I shall destroy you with my Libra Cloth!
I had hoped for much more from you,
but that's all you had to offer.
Shiryu!
Seiya!
What?
With your attacks, you Saints destroy atoms.
But my Cataclysm Slash can destroy protons, which are even smaller than atoms.
It destroys the protons that make up atoms?
The Cataclysm Slash is the most powerful of the Four Kings' holy blades.
You cannot defeat it.
Even so, we cannot retreat!
Yes, we promised the young Saints...
That we would take Athena to Pallas!
Seiya, Shiryu...
Our attacks seem to have no effect at all!
Of course not.
My Destructiontector holds the power of three Gold Cloths...
Leo,
Taurus,
and Aries.
Did you say Taurus?
Even all the Gold Saints together
could not defeat me.
Our Cloths will not lose!
For generations, the Saints have passed down these Cloths.
They hold those Saints' desires.
Desires?
The desire of those Saints to protect Athena, even if it cost them their lives.
I'll show you the hopes and the Cosmo passed down for generations!
Atomic Thunderbolt!
What?
Dragon, rise to the heavens.
Rozan Sho Ryu Ha!
No...
Is that the extent of your desires?
Desires...
I have something I believe in, as well.
Then you are willing to sacrifice your life for Pallas?
Only a fool would give his life for that girl.
She is simply a tool...
A tool?!
Yes.
To awaken him.
Just to be clear, it is not my desire to stop Athena here.
My wish is for Athena and Pallas to meet.
What do you mean?
You're trying to kill Pallas and me.
Correct?
Kill Athena and Pallas?
He wants the two goddesses to fight and destroy each other.
So that's it.
What?
Even if that's impossible,
should Athena and Pallas collide, both will be badly injured.
They may be goddesses,
but if they are weak enough, even my Cataclysm Slash can slay them.
And you Saints who protect Athena...
You're in my way!
Athena?
I shall go to Pallas alone.
So there isn't any need to hurt them.
Don't be stupid!
It would stop this senseless bloodshed.
No...
I cannot allow it!
We'll settle things ourselves.
That is Pallas's and my wish.
Very well.
Then I will take you to Pallas.
I cannot let you go!
Seiya...
I can't let you go alone!
We Saints are your protectors.
We cannot put you in danger!
Shiryu!
Fools... You would've actually had a chance to live.
Indeed, we are fools.
Fudo...
If Athena and Pallas both desire to meet one another,
it isn't for a human to stand in their way.
And it isn't for a god to go alone into the heart of the enemy,
out of love for those who protect her.
However,
there is a truth there...
Hearts that care for one another.
Hearts that care for one another?
Those hearts are strong.
Strong enough to overcome their roles as man and god.
And strong enough to defeat even a mighty opponent.
I have attained this enlightenment by watching Athena and the humans.
And now, I truly wish
to see the world that they create.
Go, Seiya...
With Athena!
I shall handle this battle!
Then you'll fight me?
Get back, Fudo.
I'll fight him!
You look well, for one who took a hit from the Cataclysm Slash.
I'll show you the strength of the real Taurus!
No...
You go with Athena.
Shiryu!
The man who bears her Cloth should stay with her.
And I said that I would slay him with the Libra Cloth!
Please take care of Athena.
Fine...
Don't get yourself killed.
You seem to have reached a decision on your own,
but do you really think you're getting through?
Shogyo Danzai!
Go to Pallas now.
Athena...
We're counting on you, Fudo... Shiryu!
Do you think this will slow me down?
Crystal Wall!
This wall repels all attack.
It will defend Athena!
Kiki...
Fudo, I didn't expect you to attack.
I shall fight with you.
Shiryu, Fudo, Kiki...
That wall won't stop me!
I won't let you.
I told you it wouldn't work.
What's wrong?
What happened to your precious little Cloth?
It was not only the Cloth I inherited.
I have a holy blade to match yours.
Excalibur!
This was given to me by the Gold Saints who fought before me.
But it isn't enough...
The Saints' techniques will not hurt me!
But Seiya and the others escaped.
Athena...
No time to think about it...
We must go forward!
Yes...
Very well.
I will kill you first, then follow them.
Behold, the technique I inherited from my master, Dohko.
Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha!
It isn't enough.
Impossible.
Take this...
The secret technique of the Aries Saint!
Stardust Revolution!
What?
I must see the future of Athena and humanity.
Om!
I'll destroy all of you at once.
Cataclysm Slash!
The match is won.
I cannot believe he is so strong.
But we must stop him...
And for that, we need to make a decision.
Yes, apparently that may be our only way to win.
A technique by which three Gold Saints become one,
raise their aggressive Cosmo to the limit,
then concentrate it to a single point.
Its destructive power rivals a smaller version of the Big Bang,
which created the universe...
Athena Exclamation!
But Athena forbade us to use this ultimate shadow technique.
If we use it, we will be stripped of our titles as Saints,
and branded as traitors for all eternity, even beyond death.
But if we fail to stop him here, the Earth's peace is doomed.
I am prepared to be branded a coward and a traitor
to win this fight!
And I will gladly throw away all I have as a Saint
to protect Athena and the Earth's peace.
Kiki...
I have never had
any attachment to the position of Gold Saint given to me by my friend, Mars.
I shall fight with you.
Fudo...
I'm sorry, Fudo.
I took up this Cloth to see humanity's future.
For me, this is but a temporary form.
I've nothing to lose.
What are you doing?
We won't let you get in their way!
What Cosmo...
But my Holy Blade will annihilate it!
Athena Exclamation!
Cataclysm Slash!
It can't be... Athena Exclamation!
What? That forbidden technique?
Shiryu! Kiki! Fudo!
Incredible Cosmo...
Could this be Omega?
No...
Yes, this is but a portion of Omega.
This is as far as we can reach.
As far as we three can reach...
What is this great Cosmo?
Is this... Father?
A mere portion of Omega cannot defeat the Cataclysm Slash.
What Cosmo.
He stands so resolutely... Even against Athena Exclamation!
No...
The battle has already been won.
What?
That's...
I said that this technique was used by three Gold Saints,
but it seems I was wrong.
Yes...
Genbu had already won this battle!
Wh-What?
Hyperion...
Then you will leave me, as well.
The Cataclysm Slash!
It's over.
This collision of Cosmos...
...will absorb us all.
Humans and Saints are such fools, throwing away their lives
for those they would protect.
And you, Fudo?
Indeed. I, too, am a fool, dying for Athena.
But that is fine.
There are far worse deaths than dying with you.
Fudo...
I won't
die here!
Young Saints...
You can reach it.
The true Omega!
We leave the rest to you!
Father...
No!
What?
To Be Continued
