The Titan King robs Gaia of his power, offering it to Hades instead so that the Saints of Athena and his followers will be spared from death. Pontos's plan ultimately fails, as after fighting Aiolia Kronos comes to appreciate the worth of humans. He means to help her take control of the Earth, destroying gods and humans alike in the process. Throughout these battles, the primordial god Pontos, who first released the Titans from their imprisonment in Tartarus and initially claimed that he wished to help Kronos, reveals his true intentions, stating that he only revived the Titans as part of a larger plan and has been playing them in order to awaken his true mistress, Gaia. Aiolia does not hesitate to go to Lithos's aid and, together with five other Gold Saints, initiates a series of battles in which the Titans fall one by one. They retreat to their base at the Time Labyrinth and kidnap Aiolia's servant Lithos to lure him there. The Titans determine that it was Aiolia's attack that was responsible for this condition and that the Leo Saint might hold the means to fix it as well. In the course of their next assault, Kronos is inadvertently released from Zeus's lightning seal by Aiolia's own lightning-based technique, but the god appears to be amnesiac. Meanwhile, the Titans gather their forces to strike at Sanctuary a second time. With the Titans once again roaming the Earth, ancient monsters are also resurrected worldwide and the Saints have to contain them. Their first assault is thwarted by Aiolia, who subsequently gains the attention of the Titans as the "man of the evil omen" who is destined to free their King. A modern-day Titanomachy begins as the Titans, ancient gods with a desire for revenge on the Olympian gods, attack Sanctuary to retrieve the "Megas Drepanon", the weapon into which Zeus had sealed their King, Kronos, in the age of mythology. While the Pope, the leader of the Saints, sends Aiolia on mission after mission to prove his loyalty, evil forces manifest that threaten to destroy Sanctuary, the home of the Saints. In turn, he holds a grudge against the Saints as a whole, and against the elite order of the Gold Saints in particular. The protagonist is the Leo Gold Saint Aiolia, who is mistrusted by the rest of the Saints because of the seemingly traitorous actions of his brother Aiolos in the past. ![]() The story revolves around the Saints of Athena, humans with superhuman powers who are devoted to the Goddess of War Athena, and whose duty is to protect the world from evil.
