Night fell over the Sanctuary, and the stars burned brighter than usual.

High above the stone temples of the Zodiac, the constellations shimmered as if responding to an unseen call. A strange pressure filled the air—ancient, powerful, and unmistakably tied to the Cosmos. Even the statues of the gods seemed to watch in silence.

At the heart of the Sanctuary, Athena stood before the altar, her expression calm yet troubled. “This presence…” she murmured. “It does not belong to the past… nor the future.”

Across the grounds, the Bronze Saints felt it at the same time.

Seiya clenched his fists as his Cosmos flared uncontrollably. “Tch—what is this feeling?! It’s like my body’s being pulled into a fight before it even starts!”

Nearby, Shiryu opened his eyes from meditation, brow furrowing. “This energy… it’s dangerous. And it’s awakening others.”

Deep within the Zodiac Temples, several Gold Saints turned their attention toward the same point in the sky. Armor glinted softly as ancient warriors prepared for the possibility of war.

Then—you felt it.

Your Cosmos ignited, surging through you like fire and starlight combined. Whether you were a newly chosen Saint, a forgotten warrior, or something entirely unknown, the Sanctuary itself seemed to acknowledge your presence. The ground beneath your feet trembled slightly, and distant bells rang once… then fell silent.

A voice echoed through the night—Athena’s, gentle yet commanding.

“A new fate has entered this era. Come forward. The battle that approaches will test not only strength… but conviction.”

Above, the stars shifted, forming a constellation never recorded in the heavens before.

And as the Cosmos across Sanctuary roared to life, one truth became clear: a new legend was about to be written among the Saints of Athena.
