He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 105 Athena: So what exactly did I do?
As forum points were depleted, the portal to the next realm reopened, and Sasha returned to the sacred domain where her original body resided.

As the thought body disintegrated, countless memories, experiences, and insights flooded into Sasha's memory and cognition.

This includes his interactions with Su Nian, becoming the incarnation of Athena, his insights into using authority, and his memories.

As the feeling deepened, Sasha's own Athena-like cosmos rose and fell, fluctuating constantly.

As the microcosm awakens, an ancient and weary will awakens within Sasha.

Finally, He sighed.

"Perhaps, the holy war that occurs once every 243 years should come to an end now."

That was the will of Athena, or rather, the will of Athena, the original goddess of war.

In the endless cycle of reincarnation, Athena could not guarantee that she would not lose her true self, so she sealed her will and memories, and each reincarnation was a restart.

Generally speaking, He only awakens when He encounters difficulties or when there is a possibility of a turning point.

"I hope you can bring me enough good fortune."

He sighed softly, then stretched out his hand and used his divine cosmos to create a seed of a cosmos.

[I'm not Athena reincarnated: @Su Nian, to thank you for taking care of me, I gave you a gift.]

On the other side, Su Nian, who had just seen Sasha off, was stunned and looked at the Dimensional Forum with surprise, wondering what gift Sasha would give her.

[Dad: What gift?]

[Not Athena reincarnated: a seed of a microcosm.]

[Dad: ? ? ? ? ]

Instantly, Su Nian became wary. He didn't think that Sasha, who had only recently awakened Athena's power and didn't have much of it, would have the ability to create a seed of a small universe.

This isn't Sasha? It's at least more than just Sasha!!

[Dad: Who are you? Are you Sasha?]

'Athena' sighed softly, and then continued to communicate with Su Nian.

[I am not the reincarnation of Athena: I am her, but I am more than just her. Consider me as the embodiment of the will of Athena throughout history.]

Upon seeing this message, Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief. This was a reasonable explanation, and it was no wonder that he was suddenly given a seed of a small universe.

[Dad: You can't accept something for nothing. So what do you want?]

Even though Athena from the Saint Seiya world knows she's a good person, able to reincarnate countless times in holy wars and lead the Saints to protect the earth, if even she isn't a good person, then there are probably very few good people in the whole world, right?

However, this is not a reason for Su Nian to get something for free. When dealing with powerful figures, the most expensive price is not having to pay a price.

[I'm not Athena reincarnated: 'I' hope you can take me to the miniature garden more often to learn about its spiritual power system.]

[Dad: But Athena of the Little Garden might not agree.]

[I'm not Athena reincarnated: It doesn't matter. Even if she disagrees, you can take over as professor; it won't affect anything. What I need is knowledge related to the [Will of the Gods].]

[It's not the reincarnation of Athena: In your words, you could call it "authority."]

In fact, the gods in the Saint Seiya world were human beings from the very beginning, or rather, the earliest humans.

At the beginning of the Big Bang, the will of the gods triggered the explosion, and in order to guide the power of creation and stabilize the order of the universe, they entered the bodies of various life forms.

Ancient animal-shaped deities were manifestations of the divine will residing within animals, while human-shaped deities were manifestations of the divine will entering human bodies.

With the aid of the gods' will, they could easily manipulate everything under their control. Hades could arbitrarily manipulate souls and create death, Zeus possessed unparalleled divine thunder, Poseidon could easily shake the seas, and she always managed to achieve a hard-won victory in holy wars…
However, within the miniature garden, this will of the gods manifests in another way, known as "authority," which is the source of the gods' supremacy over all things and their control over all things.

Unfortunately, the will of the gods is unpredictable. Even the gods rely more on their own divine cosmos, and even the powerful Saints have the ability to kill gods.

The reason why 'Athena' chose to let Sasha go there more often is because the authority that Athena holds in the Little Garden world is the best material, teaching material, and template for Sasha.

Su Nian fell into deep thought. He was unsure whether Athena would agree, and even less certain whether the spiritual power system of the Little Garden or the will system of the gods of the microcosm was stronger.

Or more likely, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The spiritual power system of the miniature garden lies in the concept of dominating all things, transcending everything in the world, and becoming an omniscient and omnipotent god.

The microcosm system, on the other hand, is about using one's own will to crush all those who disagree, breaking through all laws with sheer force. Perhaps the microcosm is stronger in terms of combat power.

[Dad: Okay, the deal is done. If I find Athena, I'll talk to her, but she might only allow you to descend in the form of a thought.]

[I'm not Athena reincarnated: It's okay, it's enough that you allow 'me' to come to the Little Garden.]

Athena showed a satisfied expression. Although the path of the Cosmos was not weak, it was just too difficult to walk and too difficult to improve.

The seventh sense, the eighth sense, and even the legendary ninth sense are extremely difficult to attain, requiring an exceptionally high level of willpower.

Even though she has reincarnated countless times, she has only just reached the eighth sense in her cosmos. Even so, she is still no match for Hades.

Each time, they have to fight with all their might to defeat Hades, and each time the Sanctuary suffers heavy losses and needs to replenish its ranks of Saints.

Because of Hades' power, the Specters can be easily reincarnated.

This makes each Holy War extremely difficult for the Holy Land, making it uncertain whether they can win the next Holy War.

Through the miniature garden, she saw an opportunity to completely break the reincarnation of Hades' Specters and to end the Holy War.

Although it's uncertain how effective it will be, it's never a bad thing to give it a try, right?
Then she directly gave the Seed of the Universe to Su Nian through the Dimensional Forum.

But the next moment, an expression of unbearable embarrassment appeared on her face.

[I'm not Athena reincarnated: My forum points don't seem to be enough to cover the processing fee...]

Damn it, this forum is so greedy for money!!
Even the usually composed Athena was getting angry at this point.

[Dad: How much are the fees? Let me see if I can afford it...]

[Not Athena reincarnation: Approximately one million forum points.]

[Dad: ......]

Su Nian fell silent. She had really struck it rich this time. She never expected that the Seed of the Universe would be so valuable in the eyes of the Dimensional Forum. And this was just a seed? It was already worth 100 million points?
So he absolutely had to have this seed of the universe; he had to see what it was that was worth 100 million forum points.

[Dad: I have about 600,000 here. I made over 500,000 from beating up Poseidon. What about you?]

[Not Athena Reincarnated: I'm pretty much the same, let's split the bill in half then.] [Dad: Okay.]

A moment later, Su Nian looked at the golden pearl in her hand, which seemed to contain the entire universe, and it emitted a faint light.

Every cell in Su Nian's body was urging her to swallow it quickly, to swallow it quickly.

It's as if you'll gain some benefit just by eating it.

However, Su Nian still had the central control of the small garden conduct an analysis to determine the composition of this thing.

[Gift: Seed of Unknown Universe Origin-Level Power]

[Use this to gain unknown cosmic origin-level power. Effects are unknown. Ingestion is recommended.]

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry?"

Seeing the response from the central hub of the miniature garden, Su Nian raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise.

"But this time we'll trust you."

As she spoke, Su Nian threw the small universe seed directly into her mouth.

The seed of the microcosm melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and in the instant Su Nian swallowed it, she witnessed that wondrous scene.

—Endless light burst forth at the initial singularity.

And that singularity is Su Nian, or rather, Su Nian himself.

At that moment, he seemed to become a universe, his physical body becoming the matter and laws of that universe, and his soul becoming the will of the universe.

No, this is not an illusion; these are real changes that occurred in his body after he swallowed that seed of the microcosm.

[Su Nian]

[Spirit Rank: Four-digit Common]

[Race: Pureblood Dragon - Cosmic Dragon]

[Powers: Immortality (prototype), Abundance, Preservation]

[Blessing: Divine status as a sea god...]

"Cosmic Dragon, is that even possible...?"

Looking at the status analyzed by the central hub of the gift card, Su Nian couldn't help but complain.

"I always feel that, in some sense, my blood relationship with Sister Xiaoju has become much closer."

Kurima is the World Dragon who carries the world on his back and walks through the void, while he is the Cosmic Dragon who is equal to the universe.

Of course, becoming a cosmic dragon not only increased Su Nian's physical strength and spiritual power, but also strengthened the self-observation and infinitely expanding cosmic view unique to pure-blooded dragons.

Su Nian's growth rate has been further enhanced, and he can expand at the speed of light, almost as if he were creating something from nothing.

Unfortunately, his current microcosm is still a microcosm, roughly the size of the solar system (Oort cloud, the gravitational boundary of the sun), and it is empty with little matter.

It is estimated that only after exceeding the size of the Milky Way will matter begin to be created from nothing, and by then Su Nian will probably already be in the triple digits.

Moreover, Su Nian felt that she could enhance her own universe by consuming the world, and fill the emptiness of her own universe by devouring matter.

Overall, there has been a significant improvement and a great deal of learning.

Meanwhile, in the Egyptian pantheon, in a temple near the Nile River.

A young girl with wheat-colored skin, dressed in an Egyptian-style white robe, fell into deep thought as she looked at the intelligence she had received that day.

"What do you mean by Athena using a power similar to a simulated star map to completely deprive Poseidon of his sexual ability?"

"What do you mean by 'Athena is suspected of having a relationship beyond friendship with the World King's younger brother'?"

"What do you mean by 'Poseidon's warlike embodiment has been torn apart again'?"

"And who is the World King's younger brother?"

She shouldn't be out of touch with the world, right? Knight fell into deep thought. She had only been in seclusion for a couple of days, organizing her spiritual authority system. How could the world have changed so much?

As for Aishia and Perseus? She has already been freed from the care of her aunt Hestia.

Well, now her identity is clear: she is Athena, who has been missing for many years.

As for why he is now active among the Egyptian gods under the identity of Knight, that's a complicated story.

She could only say that she was lucky to have met Nephthys, who had unfortunately died in the aftermath of the destruction caused by Az Dakkah, and then picked up her spirit. Do you believe that?
She didn't believe it either, but that's the truth.

Furthermore, based on Nephthys's memories, she learned the core secret of the Egyptian pantheon: they planned to emulate the Japanese pantheon, pooling the power of all the pantheon's achievements in an attempt to rationally elect a two-digit sun god, Ra.

And Athena shamefully fell for it. There were too many factions within the Greek pantheon. With each person taking a share of the various achievements, there wasn't much left. It wasn't enough to support her becoming a double-digit number of gods, let alone support her becoming the fourth generation of god-kings.

As for the Roman pantheon, which the Greek pantheon planned to expand upon? Before it could even develop, it was first crushed by the Christians, and then, not believing in them, it encountered a dystopian society.

All I can say is that not losing money is a success.

So she chose to infiltrate the Egyptian pantheon to see if she could steal their fruits.

And now, through her tireless efforts, she has gone from being Nephthys, the goddess of houses and the dead, to being Knight, the feminine incarnation of the sun god Ra.

All that remains is to defeat the current king of the Egyptian pantheon, and then Amun can reap the final reward.

Even if she can't reach double digits, the accumulated achievements will still help her go further.

It's quite obvious that she's making amazing progress in the Egyptian pantheon, but in the Greek pantheon, Athena's identity was almost taken over by someone else.

Who exactly is that purple-haired Athena?
Where the hell did this purple-haired avatar come from? My avatar is only ever the blonde goddess, okay?!

Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll tear you apart!
Knight gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly.

However, she quickly calmed down and realized that she needed to find out what had happened first.

Moreover, that purple-haired Athena seems to be quite familiar with the World King's younger brother; perhaps we can use this opportunity to gather some information.

But what reason should I give for the visit? That person's status is a bit too high.
