"The Sanctuary is being rebuilt." "everyone is anxious because of Hades' painting." "All life will end when it's completed." "The Lost Canvas..." "Tenma!" "Dohko!" "Get rid of that sour look." "It's not like you." "why don't you work?" "Idiot." "Alright." "Damn." "yet you returned so suddenly." "To think that you were there when Hades attacked." "Geez." "You always surprise me." "But I'm glad you're fine." "but..." "Sisyphus..." "He got struck down by Alone's reflected arrow." "I've seen him before." "but he's still in a coma." "The Pope said that Hades' attacks will damage the soul directly." "Perhaps that's why he's still asleep." "Alone..." "The power of Hades..." "Sisyphus might not wake up at all." "Tenma?" "Sorry." "Frankly speaking..." "Ruining the Sanctuary..." "Shooting Sisyphus..." "Killing Sasha without hesitation..." "Destroying this world..." "It isn't like him!" "Why did he become Hades?" "I have to be merciless with your friend." "I believe everyone in the Sanctuary thinks the same way." "He's a huge threat to the world." "We have to defeat him." "But I hope that you'll remember him as a friend." "It's ironic I guess." "Dohko..." "Sisyphus told me about a young man who really loved his friend." "he was probably talking about you." "Asmita also talked about the relationship between you and Hades since mythological times." "There might be a glitter of hope in this after all..." "Tenma..." "You have to keep on going while remembering your friend." "I'd do that even if you didn't ask me to." "I'm stubborn after all." "Indeed." "Lord Dohko!" "Tenma!" "Lord Aldebaran asked for help in moving the broken pieces." "Sure!" "I'll help with everything!" "Thanks." "This way." "but he sure is energetic." "He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders..." "Tenma." "Lady Pandora." "Why did Lord Hades go to Sanctuary by himself?" "Lady Pandora?" "his power and influence is growing..." "But..." "I have a bad feeling about this..." "What if he..." "You're...!" "Lord Thanatos and Lord Hypnos." "Pandora." "What brings the god of sleep and the god of death here?" "Everything is under control." "Silence!" "We had a great plan." "How do you explain Hades going to the Sanctuary?" "But even I couldn't" "Pandora!" "Pandora." "then we'll help Lord Hades to concentrate on completing the Lost Canvas." "so that he won't be so easily distracted." "you'll find a way to dissolve the source of the turmoil in his heart." "Pandora." "I understand." "It's that accursed Athena." "But hiding deep inside Lord Hades' heart..." "Is the truly loathsome one!" "An impurity!" "Pegasus Tenma!" "my assassins!" "Get rid of Pegasus Tenma!" "so that he can't be resurrected!" "Lady Pandora." "At your service." "Dullahan Cube of the Terrestrial Shadow Star." "Bat Wimber of the Terrestrial Scout Star." "I see." "You two might just be what I need for this mission." "a Bronze Saint." "I'll strike from the shadows." "He won't know what hit him." "I'll be waiting for your good news." "Yes ma'am!" "his heart will be free of turmoil." "My heart will be at peace." "The two gods will be pleased." "Lord Hades..." "I hope you have the heart to command the army." "Please guide us." "Virgo." "I don't know if you drink wine." "The Holy War is coming to an end." "Lady Athena and the Pope are preparing the troops." "The decisive battle is near." "The Pope is taking good care of the beads which you made with all of your Cosmo." "We'll dye them with the souls of the Specters!" "Sorry for talking so much." "It would be great if I could see your strength on the battlefield..." "Bats?" "There's a lot of them." "I'm not done yet!" "Ouch..." "I don't remember teaching you to fight like that." "Lord Aldebaran!" "Sorry!" "Lord Aldebaran!" "Welcome back." "Looks like you have a difficult foe today." "Sorry to disturb." "Good timing." "I'm not done yet!" "Dohko said that you have been daydreaming a lot recently." "Looks like you still have the will to fight." "Of course!" "Pegasus Meteor Punch!" "I see." "Good punch!" "But you won't even scratch Hades with that!" "You need more training!" "They're really working hard." "It's dark already." "Saro!" "Don't doze off!" "Can't help it." "I'm falling asleep too." "Serinsa!" "Huh?" "Here I go!" "Pegasus?" "W-What's this?" "my clones!" "Let them sleep away!" "Thanks to Nightmare Sonar!" "you were quite thorough." "He's weak." "no matter how much Lady Pandora fears him." "He's not good enough." "Pegasus..." "You're mine!" "moron}" "I never thought anyone else would sneak in." "Looks like you're after Pegasus." "But I won't let you do that." "W-What?" "Nightmare Sonar didn't have any effect on you?" "I can't hear you." "You destroyed your own hearing?" "Great Horn!" "Is that all?" "You can't kill either Pegasus or me with that." "Damn." "Bats?" "My blind spot!" "You destroyed your hearing to counter my Nightmare Sonar." "You're an interesting one." "But that's futile." "the special shockwave will still affect your nerves." "Your movement will be hindered." "The blood of the golden bull?" "Here I go!" "Wait!" "Let me do it." "He broke my mask." "He's really going to get it now. she would be pleased if we killed a Gold Saint as well." "Taurus!" "Let me have some fun!" "The wound that Kagaho inflicted on me opened!" "How do you feel?" "can you?" "You're just a sandbag!" "Die!" "I'll make you fly!" "This is the last blow!" "What?" "I can't hear anything." "I can't hear any of your nonsense." "Your punches aren't that great." "I won't..." "I won't allow trash like this to kill Pegasus!" "Wha..." "What a man..." "Bastard!" "How dare you!" "I'll fulfill your wish!" "Death Messenger!" "The headless woman chants the words of death." "Those words will seep through your skin even if you can't hear them!" "your heart will stop beating." "Finally dead?" "You were a pain." "I can finally kill Pegasus now." "Lord Rasgado!" "the deaths of Saints still make Lady Athena sad." "Yeah..." "You're right." "You guys are going to live on." "and be strong." "No way!" "Your heart should have stopped!" "Live on!" "Live strong!" "Titan's Nova!" "Looks like he didn't detect me." "the great Frog Zelos of the Terrestrial Strange Star." "All the glory now belongs to me!" "I'll get Pegasus and escape quickly!" "get lost!" "Idiot!" "Blockhead!" "so just lie down already!" "Bennu Kagaho of the Celestial Violence Star!" "I don't like you." "I don't think Lord Hades wanted you to do this." "Speak!" "Who gave the order to assassinate Pegasus?" "So what if you know?" "Are you trying to steal my credit?" "You rascal." "Keep your feet off" "I'll speak!" "It was Lady Pandora..." "What about Lord Hades?" "concentrating on the Lost Canvas." "Lost Canvas?" "but Lady Pandora is having doubts about Lord Hades." "She's wondering if Lord Hades really is Lord Hades." "so she came up with this plan." "Lady Pandora is the one commanding the army right now." "Kagaho?" "Lady Pandora will be pleased if we complete this mission." "I won't obey anyone except Lord Hades." "Huh?" "What?" "When did I..." "Where's Aldebaran?" "It wasn't easy to make him lie down." "He remains strong even after his death." "A Specter?" "!" "Was it you?" "Did you kill him?" "He's strong!" "I didn't kill him." "You're so weak!" "the army will keep on coming after you." "This is just the beginning." "Come after me?" "Aldebaran..." "Wait!" "Did Alone..." "Hades order this?" "It was Pandora." "Looks like the current commander of the army isn't Lord Hades." "It's her." "What do you mean?" "Where's Alone?" "You want to know?" "Then check it out yourself." "Taurus." "I've repaid my debt to you." "Lord Aldebaran!" "Lord Aldebaran!" "Why?" "Tenma?" "Why did Lord Aldebaran die?" "Sorry." "Alone." "Aldebaran died because of me." "He wouldn't have died if I wasn't here." "I won't be going back to the Sanctuary." "I'll end this Holy War by myself!" "Alone." "I'm on my way." "Journey."
