What's this unknown anxiety I feel since a moment ..." : "It's strange that Thanatos is taking so many time with Bronze Saints.." <3> : "Wearing Bronze Clothes which have been revived by Athena's blood, they accomplished the miracle to come to this Elysion .." <25-1> : "But .." : "I doubt the miracle because of Athena's blood is only that but.." <25-3> : "A..

I said." <31-1> Saints : "Kamei !?" p32 : <1> Thanatos : "It's impossible." : "Kamei ..." <2> : "Kamei, according to that name, it's what 12 Olympians Zeus leads, have allowed only chosen gods to wear !!" <33-1> : "That .." : "Why does that thing is on the body of a mortal like this worm.." <33-2> Hypnos : "Calm down, Thanatos !" : "They have been able to cross over the hyper dimension that a non-god can't go across, and able to go to this Elysion. Why (have they been able to do so)?" <33-3> Thanatos : "That's (because of) Athena's blood ..." <33-4> : "Oh .." Hypnos : "Right ! You have remembered." <33-5> : "A cloth which has been revived by the blood of a god is close to the unlimited Kamei ..." : "So to speak, it becomes a God Cloth (God Holy Cloth) !" <33-6> : "We had seen them only once in the far off myth. time !" p34 : <1> Ikki : "Muu.. God Clothes !" <2> Shiryu : "A cloth close to the unlimited Kamei, which transcended Bronze, Silver, Gold .. all of these .." <3> Hyoga : "Seiya made revived his own cloth by borrowing the assistance of Athena's blood and by increasing his cosmo to the top level." <4> Shun : ".. surely the legendary God Cloth .." <5> Seiya : "Uu.. It wasn't only to cross over the ultra dimension .." : "This big secret was hidden in the cloth which has been resurrected by Athena's blood .." <35-1> Thanatos : "Hum Hypnos. Does it mean you came here because you were worried" Hypnos : "That's right. Now Pegasus isn't a mere saint anymore." <35-2> : "If you under estimate him, you will make a big mistake !" <35-3> Thanatos : "Hum, I don't agree." Hypnos : "What ?" <35-4> Thanatos : "Though God cloth is really near to the unlimited Kamei, it is still a Cloth.." : "What would we, Gods, be afraid of ?" <35-5> : "Moreover what an almost dead person can do ?" <35-6> Hypnos : "Stop it, Thanatos !!" p36 : Thanatos attacks Seiya but the latter jumps and avoids it easily, his strength came back with his cloth.

So, as he has pity on her, he is going to bury her with his own hands ! p126 : But Seiya jumps and stops the sword with his hands. Unfortunately, the sword is suddenly filled with energy which repulses him down. Seiya gets up again determined not to let Hades kill Athena. p128 : He looks at Hades. <2> Seiya : "What a beautiful eye color .. : "Are these eyes the ones of the person who is feared as the king of of the dead country ? .. it's like the bottom of a deep lake." <3> Hades : "It's sad" <4> Seiya : "What ?" Hades : "It's .. you, mortals" <129-1> : "You don't know at all the limits of your power and of your body, and you tries to do things too big for you." : "You don't content yourself with the Earth gods gave you and you tries to stretch out your hands towards the universe and to dirty it. : "At the end, you even tries to fight against gods" <129-2> : "For you, human beings, Gods must be what you are afraid of and what you honour." : "When you forget the faithfull spirit, your existence is sad more than stupid." p130 : Seiya is amazed by Hades' words. He asks him if he means he is a god who deserves to be honoured. A god must be fair ! Where is the fairness in an evil god who is about to erase human beings and to occupy the Earth ? Seiya tries to attack but Hades hits and cuts Seiya's stomach despite his God Cloth. Seiya moves back to the big vase where he's going to protect Athena. Hades decides to kill him with Athena. p132 : Suddenly Hades is attacked by 3 cosmo with the shape of a chain, a swan and a dragon. p134 : Hades protects with his sword. Shun, Hyoga and Shiryu join Seiya and Ikki. They check their 2 friends are OK. Ikki gets up at last. p136 : They notice Hades seems paralyzed by their last attack. They decide not to let escape this opportunity to kill Hades. Once again, they will combine their life and cosmo. p138 : They concentrate, burn and rise to top level their cosmo, then they combine them into one in order to defeat Hades. p140 : Hades reacts lately and can't protect from the attack. Nevertheless, he doesn't seem injured. Moreover he is more and more angry with these mortals. p142 : His riposte is dreadful : he breaks slightly their God Clothes. p144 : and strikes them all down. Yet Hades notices their combined attack also breaks slightly his Sapuris. p146 : Moreover, Seiya is getting up again !! Hades doesn't believe it. Then he remembers he has already seen him once before : it was in the mythological times, that man had injured Hades' body and was also the Pegasus Saint ! Seiya reminds him the battle has not finished yet. p148 : Hades decides to get rid of Pegasus Saint so that he can't reincarnate anymore. Seiya doesn't understand what Hades is talking about except that he wants to kill him. So he attacks first. p150 : Unfortunately his power isn't sufficient so he is repulsed by his own attack and drops Athena's cloth. When he is about to get it back, Hades pierces his hand with his sword. Hades tells him that, as Athena is dead, he doesn't need to hold it so preciously. p152 : Hades tells them everything has already ended. He shows a view of the Earth so they can see the eclipse is now total : the greatest eclipse is complete, the 9 planets will stay aligned and will never move anymore. So Earth has became a world of eternal darkness. p154 : On Earth, Saints have also noticed the full disappearence of the Sun. Marin wonders if their resistance wasn't, in fact, vain. Seika disabuses her, announcing she still hears the voice of Seiya's life. <155-1> Seika : "Even now, they don't have given up to death." : "The voice of their life .." : "That is a song of joy ..." : "That is a light of hope .." <155-2> : "As long as Seiya & Co continue to sing their life song .." : "I won't either abandon hope .. never .." Her faith in Seiya & Co amazes them. p156 : Hades decides to get rid of Saints, now !! First is Seiya who doesn't have strength any more. Hades strikes with his sword but Seiya is protected by an "indestructible" sphere. p158 : Seiya is not alone : his friends are also protected by (or jailed in) similar spheres. They are now floating out of Hades' range. Hades understands this help comes from Athena. She contacts them , explaining she wrapped them with these vital spheres in order to protect them from Hades. She plans to transport them to Earth. Suddenly, the big vase changes color from dark red to white as all her blood returns in her body. Hades hurries to strike the vase so as to kill her. p160 : Seiya reacts fastest and throws Athena her cloth. When she comes into contact with her cloth, Athena gets the power to break the big vase. She appears wearing her God Cloth. p162 : Hades understands she let Hypnos put her in the big vase in order to make Hades' body come out. Athena tells him they are fighting since mythologic times so they would rather to end it, now. This makes Hades furious. He strikes her with his sword. She protects with her shield. He asks her why she fights like this for mortals, why she hinders gods from punishing stupid mortals. p164 : She repulses him with her shield, then says he is wrong : mortals are not stupid like he thinks. But Hades doesn't believe her. There isn't a more stupid existence than the mortals' ones ! Anyway, if they let do what they want, where will they go up to ? So gods must teach them that if they keeps on accumulating evil deeds, they will fall into Hell after their death and will suffer eternally. Hades adds it is thanks to the fear of the after death he created, that life on Earth is possible. Athena replies he is too arrogant. She asks him if he really think there is a human being who doesn't have killed an insect or have picked a flower ? Humans are not Gods. So any good people may commit a little evil deed not on purpose. Then she adds she thinks a mortal should be purified from all his crimes when he dies, that any living beings, both good and bad people, should get an eternal and quiet sleep. So it's an error that Hades gives them agony after their death for their crimes during their life. Of course, Hades doesn't agree with him. p166 : Hades hammers, furiously, her shield and brings her down. He threatens her with his sword, saying a such conversation is unnecessary. She'd better die for mortals !! Seiya reacts and breaks his sphere. p168 : He dives ahead of Athena both to attack Hades and to protect Athena from Hades' sword. His punch throws Hades against the column. p170 : Saints are happy to see that to injure Hades is possible. Suddenly they notice the sword is stuck into Seiya's chest. The latter collapses in Athena's arms. She tells to hang on, that her sister is waiting for him on Earth. <171-5> Athena : "Seiyaaaa..." : "Don't die ! You can't die .." p172 : <1> Athena : "Please, live for those who love you, Seiya .. !" <173-1/4> Saints : "Seiya's cosmo .. !" : "His cosmo has disappeared !!" Suddenly the sword moves out of Seiya's body by itself and moves away. Hades tells Athena she became stupid amidst mortals : she let escape her only chance to maybe kill him and, now, her little chance to save Seiya. p174 : Hades catches his sword. He tells Seiya died for nothing. Moreover he was particularly stupid to rush to his own death. Athena looks at him : <4> Athena : "Hades, Do you know the thing called Love ?" Hades : "What ?" <5> Athena : "From gods' point of view, it is possible that human beings have a stupid and not respectable existence." : "But humans, anyone, have what is called Love." <6> : "For that love, humans can be infinitely kind. And infinitely strong !" : "Though you are a god, you are not allowed to punish them because you don't know Love." Hades refuses to hear any more so he attacks her. He wants to show her that Love can't help anyone. Saints breaks their spheres and rushes to protect Athena. <175-3> "Don't let him strike Athena !!" p176 : <1> Hades : "What ?" : "What is the cosmo of these guys ?" <2> : "I don't believe it !!" : "That these guys I failed in killing .. that their cosmo is overwhelming me !" <3> Athena : "It is Love, Hades !" : "A gigantic power that human beings have !!" : "The power of Love is boiling since the origin of life !" Athena throws her "sceptre" to Hades and, with the help of Saints' cosmo, pierces him. <177-1> Athena : "That can't be defeated by nothing !!" p178 : <2> Ikki : "We did it" <3> Shiryu : "At last .." : "At last, we defeated Hades !!" <4> Hyoga : "Did you see, Seiya ? <5> Shun : "We won !!" Hades doesn't believe they defeated him. p180 : He tells them that both the Hell and Elysion will disappear with him. They will also perish with the destruction of this world. Finally, Hades disappears. Saints surrounds Athena. She looks at Seiya and suggests them to go back to a world of light. p182 : On Earth, Saints notice sun is reappearing. A moment later, it is shining as before. They are waiting for Seiya's come back, being unaware of his final sacrifice for the victory of Love and Justice ! Saint Seiya, Chapter III - The Hades ENDE !
