『 Viewers of Countless World 』
When the Twin Gods first appeared, everyone was curious about their identity, as they could punish Pandora, who commanded the Hades army.
It wasn't until everyone saw Aldebaran poke his own ears deaf to protect Tenma that they all fell silent... The Taurus, alone and severely wounded, held on until the very last moment.
Viewers from other worlds expressed their respect for this noble man in their own ways. Even if Aldebaran's heart stopped beating, his desire to protect others would not be extinguished. This determination deeply touched their hearts.
From beginning to end, he never fell. Even with his heart stopped, he could unleash Titan's Nova with his conviction, and even in death, he remained standing.
"The injuries suffered fighting Kagaho in the afternoon haven't healed yet, then he encountered Hades, and the next night he trained with Tenma... Plus the Specters' sneak attack! Even a body of iron can't withstand that."
"Why do Saints have a one-on-one restriction, but Specters don't? Two against one severely wounded old bull, that's not honorable!"
Everyone felt indignant for Aldebaran. Such a formidable man didn't die on the battlefield, but in the hands of such scum.
And what about the others in Sanctuary? With such a big commotion, they should have woken up. This Sanctuary has truly become a sieve; Specters can come and go as they please.

"If Aldebaran lived in my era, he would definitely be an outstanding knight!"
Artoria's eyes seemed a little dazed, deeply regretting Aldebaran's death.
Next to her, Rin Tohsaka paced the corridor, pulling at her hair with a conflicted expression. She couldn't understand why every Gold Saint who appeared ended up dead.
"Calm down, Rin..."
Archer was made dizzy by Rin Tohsaka's swaying. He naturally knew what Rin Tohsaka was thinking at the moment, because he couldn't understand it either.
After fighting Kagaho earlier, Taurus was also severely wounded. The next step should have been to recuperate, as fighting in such a condition was highly unlikely.
So he also thought Taurus wouldn't die, at least not now, but then this happened...
.....
〜Fairy Tail World〜
"Aldebaran's body is indeed very strong, but his magic resistance seems to be lacking."
The knowledgeable Master Makarov frowned slightly.
Although Kagaho's powerful punches couldn't harm Aldebaran.
But the black flames, sound waves, and the inexplicable death wail that went straight for the heart all caused effective damage to Aldebaran.
"How could this be..."
The usually lively guild also quieted down. They hadn't expected the warm-hearted Aldebaran to fall here, especially since this was the Sanctuary's main base.
.....
〜Detective Conan World〜
Ai Haibara and Conan were currently looking at each other. In a world without superpowers, they could never understand the bodies of Gold Saints, which far exceeded their comprehension.
"His heart stopped... Generally, 5- 10 seconds is enough to make someone faint, but he actually managed to hold on until the Specter walked up to him and unleashed his ultimate move!"
And it was Titan's Nova, which relies heavily on strength! Ai Haibara was incredibly shocked by this, or rather, having any strength left at all was impossible.
As a researcher in biomedical science, she was all too familiar with the human body's structure. No matter how powerful Aldebaran and the others were, their bodies should still be human, making this feat impossible.
"Could it be that the selection of Gold Saints is based on willpower?"
Conan's eyeballs were almost falling out. What kind of monsters were these!
.....
〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
"BANG—! DAMN IT! I'm still too weak... Why..."
Inside the Sanctuary, Tenma, who had watched the entire cause and effect, angrily punched the ground. Why... Why did he lose his life for a mere Bronze Saint?
The enemy's target should have been him. Aldebaran shouldn't have died here.
Aldebaran, as a Gold Saint, would have been more useful in the Holy War, yet he sacrificed himself for someone as weak as him!
And in the Pope's Chamber, except for the Gold Saints on duty, everyone present looked visibly downcast.
If Aldebaran had died at the hands of a powerful enemy, they wouldn't have said much, because that was the awareness they had long possessed... But Taurus died from a despicable sneak attack.
The Pope also felt bad, but at this moment, he couldn't show it. The Sanctuary's defense was too weak.
.....
[ Although Aldebaran was already dead, an extremely ugly Specter emerged from the cracked earth and kicked the deceased Aldebaran fiercely!
Little did he know, a fist had quietly clenched behind him, and then dark purple flames enveloped him.
Unexpectedly, Kagaho had returned. Seeing this trash so shamelessly insult his opponent, Taurus, Kagaho was instantly furious.
"I really can't stand the way you do things."
Kagaho stepped on the toad, and after extracting information, he crushed him to death with one foot.
When Tenma woke up, he saw Kagaho standing there and Aldebaran lying beside him, covered in wounds, already dead.
"Did you kill Aldebaran?!"
Tenma angrily threw a punch, but to his surprise, the punch, which contained all his strength, was blocked by Kagaho with one hand.
"I'm afraid I didn't kill Taurus."
Kagaho looked at the weak Pegasus Saint, and thinking that Taurus had died for him, he became furious again.
So he reached out, grabbed Tenma's collar, and lifted him up, his face grim.
"Weakling, to assassinate you, the Hades army will constantly send assassins. This is just the prelude."
Thinking that Taurus had died to protect him, Tenma's mind was instantly consumed by anger and guilt, leaving him at a loss.
"Is this Aaron?!... Is this Hades's order?"
As Kagaho was about to leave, Tenma still asked the question buried in his heart.
"It's Pandora. In fact, the current Hades army is not controlled by Lord Hades, but by that woman."
And after saying all this, Kagaho turned and left without any lingering attachment. Taurus, I have repaid what I owed you.
Tenma's heart was filled with guilt, regret, and sorrow over Aldebaran's death! It made him feel that he could no longer stay in Sanctuary. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"That damn toad, the man's already dead, yet he still insults Taurus like that. You weren't around to make a peep when he was alive."
"Compared to Tenma, I realize how terrifyingly strong Kagaho actually is. Pegasus Saint is too weak, after all, he's just a Bronze Saint."
Everyone from other worlds watched with gritted teeth, wishing they could personally go up and punch that toad twice.
They had never seen anyone so despicable, waiting for someone to die before going up to mock them. Even the known "The great darkness" Gatanothor from the previous Inventory won't do something like that!
Seeing Kagaho's actions, everyone had to praise Taurus's unique insight. It proved that Kagaho was indeed as he said, brutal but not evil...
To repay Taurus's kindness, Kagaho not only provided some information about the Specters but also dealt with the Specter who looked like a toad. Otherwise, Tenma would have died in his sleep just now.
〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline〜
"None of this is your fault..."
Looking at Tenma, who was almost consumed by guilt, Shirou Emiya sighed almost imperceptibly.
Tenma was just an ordinary Bronze Saint. The mistake was being caught between Hades and Athena, and forming bonds with two great gods.
From that moment on, Tenma was one of the focal points of this Holy War; otherwise, why would the Specters have so much free time to assassinate a Bronze Saint?
If he didn't want anyone else to sacrifice themselves, what Tenma could do now was to become stronger, or perhaps leave here...
.....
[ The next day, Dohko and Shion searched the entire Sanctuary but couldn't find Pegasus Saint. In this emergency, he might even be accused of desertion.
On the other side, Tenma left the Sanctuary and, accompanied by Yuzuriha and Yato, headed to Hades Castle!
The outskirts of Hades Castle were a Forest of Death, filled with decay, coldness, and the pervasive aura of death.
Here, Tenma was no match for the androgynousSpecter, Celestial Star Specter, Veronica.
The corpses he summoned made them helpless. Just as the corpses surrounded them and charged, a blue light suddenly emanated from Tenma's body.
The immortal army's souls were directly extracted, and they fell to the ground, turning into scattered dust.
Tenma looked in the direction of the blue light.
Manigoldo, wearing the Cancer Gold Cloth, stood with his arm raised high, all the souls of the corpses gathered in his hand.
Then, with a flip, he landed in front of Tenma and introduced himself to the androgynous.
"Manigoldo of Cancer, guardian of these children!" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Uh... Honestly, I want to ask if Dohko and Shion usually just wander around Sanctuary, they seem to be the most idle."
"Holy cow, this Specter, neither male nor female, is absolutely disgusting, what a pervert."
Everyone felt a wave of nausea listening to Celestial Star Specter, Veronica's way of speaking, and he could even summon corpses; he must be a lich.
Although they knew Tenma would choose to leave Sanctuary because he didn't want to implicate others, they hadn't expected Tenma to be so brave as to dare to trespass into Hades Castle!
"A new Gold Saint! Manigoldo of Cancer, he seems different from the previous ones, a bit wild and unrestrained."
Even with just a few words, one could generally grasp his personality.
"What is this ability?! He directly turned the so-called immortal army of corpses into ashes."
The Saints' techniques were endless. After a moment of thought, they still couldn't figure out Manigoldo's ability.
〜Saint Seiya Shioriverse, The Lost Canvas timeline〜
"Oh, it's my turn, Manigoldo of Cancer, to appear now!"
Manigoldo seemed somewhat lazy and casual as he saw his own figure appear.
"Be serious, Manigoldo! It will be helpful later."
The Pope reminded him and then watched intently.
Manigoldo said nonchalantly,
"Yes, yes... I didn't expect my opponent to be a androgynous, how disgusting."
Manigoldo knew what the video's appearance meant. Based on previous deductions, the next part should be about his death.
He just wondered who his opponent would be. He didn't think this androgynous would be his match.
