Chapter 037: Despised

A few minutes ago, Milo thought she would spend the rest of her life alone in this world.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the Saint who had calmly shattered her illusions just moments ago now gave her hope—such a turn of events was truly surprising.

If not for the sincerity on his face, Milo would have thought he was mocking her.

Wang Bo waited for Milo to finish laughing and asked, "When do you plan to return? If you want to go back now, I can send you immediately."

"I don't plan to go back now." Milo waved her hand, rejecting Wang Bo's proposal.

Wang Bo asked curiously, "Is there something else you need to do?"

Milo said, "I intend to kill the ruler of Gomorrah, but I'm somewhat hesitant."

"Hesitant? What's there to hesitate about?" Wang Bo asked without understanding. "With your strength, killing him should be simple, right?"

Although in the Scorpion King storyline, Menon's swordsmanship was divine, his martial arts supreme, and catching arrows barehanded was basic—by modern standards, he was definitely a master of combat.

But compared to Milo, he was worlds apart.

To put it bluntly, Milo could kill this man with a single breath.

That was how powerful a Saint was.

Milo said, "Killing him is simple, but what comes after? I can wash my hands of it and leave, but Gomorrah would fall into chaos, and who knows how many would die. That's why I've been hesitating over whether to eliminate him."

Wang Bo suddenly understood. Milo was, after all, a Saint, belonging to the good and lawful camp, a Saint who protected the Earth and the Goddess.

Of course, she wouldn't kill Menon for personal gratification. She considered all aspects. Killing was easy, but if the ensuing chaos couldn't be quelled, the damage would be unimaginable.

Wang Bo said, "That's simple. Just find a king, help him kill Menon, and then this king will naturally take Menon's place and become a qualified ruler."

Speaking of this, Wang Bo couldn't help but think that Milo's reason for teaching Moses—the future Scorpion King—the Cosmo might have been precisely this.

Milo said helplessly, "You say it's simple, but where is it easy to find a qualified king? What if we find someone worse than Menon?"

Wang Bo couldn't help but retort, "You sure think a lot."

Milo puffed out her chest with pride and said emphatically, "I am a Saint of Athena, and I will never allow any act that brings shame to the Goddess."

Seeing her smug expression, Wang Bo couldn't resist teasing her, so he asked, "Do you know Kido Saori?"

"Who is that?" Milo asked curiously.

Wang Bo exaggeratedly said, "You don't even know the reincarnation of Athena, and you still dare to call yourself a Saint of the Goddess?"

"What? No, impossible. Kido Saori is Athena? How can that be? Athena has always been in the Sanctuary. How could she be Kido Saori?"

"You've been deceived." Wang Bo looked at the somewhat flustered Milo and said, "You should know Aiolos, right? He is the Saint of Sagittarius."

"No, he is a traitor." Milo said excitedly, "He is the traitor who attempted to assassinate the Pope and Lady Athena."

"No, he is not a traitor. Over a decade ago, he witnessed the Pope attempting to assassinate the infant Athena and saw the Pope's true face. Pursued, he eventually left the Sanctuary with the reincarnated infant Athena and entrusted the baby to a Japanese man named Kido Mitsumasa."

"What?! How could the Pope do such a thing? I don't believe it!" Hearing such a shocking truth, Milo's Cosmo involuntarily trembled.

For the first time, a Seventh Sense Cosmo appeared on this ancient land, displaying earth-shattering power. An invisible pressure swept across tens of thousands of kilometers of sky, tearing apart layers of clouds.

If Wang Bo hadn't instantly pulled Milo into the Mirror Space, all the humans below them would likely have been killed by this violent Cosmo.

The power of a Saint was no joke.

Wang Bo hadn't expected Milo to lose her composure so much upon hearing this. It caught him off guard, and he felt he should have been more cautious.

But since things had come this far, Wang Bo couldn't hide it anymore. He said directly, "You've been deceived. The real Pope is dead. The Pope in the Sanctuary now is actually Saga of Gemini. He killed the Pope, impersonated him, and wanted to kill Athena's reincarnation to seize her power and rise above the gods."

"But Saga is dead. He died while pursuing Aiolos," Milo couldn't help but retort.

Wang Bo calmly said, "If Saga hadn't faked his death, how could he have impersonated the Pope? The Athena in the Sanctuary now is just a puppet. The real Athena was taken out of the Sanctuary by Aiolos and became the daughter of Kido Mitsumasa, named Kido Saori. She is the true Athena."

After listening, Milo took a while to come back to her senses and asked seriously, "Can you be sure that everything you said is true?"

Wang Bo countered, "Do you think I have any reason to deceive you?"

Milo fell silent. She and Wang Bo were strangers; naturally, he had no reason to lie to her.

"Saga!!!"

Thinking that for so many years she had regarded Aiolos, who had been loyal to Athena, as a traitor, while showing respect to the real traitor and obeying a fake Athena, Milo felt deeply ashamed.

But along with shame, her anger toward Saga soared.

"This guy, I will never let him off!!"

Wang Bo patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Once things here are settled, I'll go back with you. Then we'll team up and beat him."

Milo shot Wang Bo a glare and pushed his hand away. "Forget teaming up. I'll take him on alone."

"You're no match for Saga. He's one of the top fighters among you Gold Saints."

Milo said bluntly, "If I can't, you certainly can't. Your Cosmo is too weak. Better not go to your death. I'm saying this for your own good."

Wang Bo hadn't expected to be despised. So he immediately donned the Kamui, and his Cosmo soared to the Eighth Sense.

His vast and powerful Cosmo blazed like the sun, so scorching that Milo couldn't open her eyes.

"Such a powerful Cosmo... What are you wearing? Is that a Kamui?"
