Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

Chapter 378 The Surge of Divine Power Explosion, Saori Kido

For safety reasons, Rhode placed everyone except himself in his private space and traveled alone to the Saint Seiya universe.

This is the Little Life Country in the 1980s. When Rhodes first explored this world, he thought it was just an ordinary parallel world! But after learning that there was a Kido Foundation here, and that there was a place called the Sanctuary in ancient Greece...

Rhode immediately realized where he was. In terms of danger, the Saint Seiya world was no less dangerous than the Marvel comic book world.

So almost without hesitation, Rhodes left this world, only to record his coordinates here, and vowed never to return to this world unless he reached the level of a true god.

After all, in this world, becoming a true god is barely enough to protect oneself, and even then, one could still be killed by a mortal being with an eighth sense cosmos.

Upon returning to this world, Rhodes experienced a different feeling. The divine power within him began to stir inexplicably, as if it were about to explode!

It exploded like the universe itself! Rhodes could only try his best to shrink his divine power, to make the trembling feeling disappear, and to forcibly suppress his divine power from exploding.

There was no way around it because Rhodes couldn't be sure that the explosion would pulverize him to pieces, leaving no trace of his remains.

It will still cause a cosmic explosion, and then create its own microcosm.

If it's the latter, then it's naturally the best choice, and you can successfully awaken your divine cosmos. But if it's the former, then it's a complete act of suicide.

Both the god of love and the god of fire possess complete divine attributes and powers. If they were released, they would likely experience the same feelings as I do.

These ancient Greek gods, however, lacked the self-control and self-restraint of their own, and might have their divine power explode if things went wrong. Therefore, for safety's sake...

The father and daughter of the god of fire and the god of love, Rhodes, have not been released yet. Instead, they have chosen to release their father-in-law, Kaido, first.

"Is this the New World? I... I have a strange feeling!" Kaido suddenly said awkwardly.

He felt the divine power, life energy, and Asgardian divine power that Rhodes had given him suddenly stirring within him.

"Father-in-law, do you feel this way too? Suppress this feeling, and don't let the divine power explode inside your body," Rhodes hurriedly said.

"I understand. I'm a warrior who has trained hard for many years. I can control my body and the energy within me," Kaido said through gritted teeth.

Honestly, what idiot would let their energy explode inside their body? Of course, I need to find a way to suppress it, but this world seems extremely dangerous! Suppress the divine power within my body.

Kaido can only fight with his physical body, and he can't even unleash any energy-based attacks.

"I need to control the cultivation methods of this world. This world possesses a power called the microcosm, which is like the Big Bang."

"Otherwise, the two of us would only be able to use our powerful physical strength, and we wouldn't be able to use any other form of energy," Rhodes said.

When Rhodes first transmigrated here, he was just a warlock apprentice with only a weak amount of fel energy in his body and didn't feel anything special. But after becoming a true god and coming here, Rhodes realized how strong the oppressive power of this world was.

In this world, Rhode can only use his physical strength at most; he cannot use any fel magic, chakra magic, arcane magic, or even his own special skills, because he must suppress his divine power.

"This is really tough! So where are we supposed to learn this power?" Kaido said.

"Let me think about it." Rhodes sat cross-legged on the ground and began to ponder.

To become a Saint, one must first receive guidance from a Saint before training.

The first step is to break through the limits of the body, possess physical qualities that surpass those of humans, and lay the most solid foundation for awakening one's inner universe.

Kaido, the father-in-law, possesses an incredibly powerful physical body. After advancing to the level of a demigod, his physical abilities are in no way inferior to those of the gods in the God of War world. After obtaining the divine power of the Asgardians, he has taken it a step further.

Rhodes himself is a true god-king level life form, and his divine body is ridiculously strong.

In terms of physical attributes, Rhodes and Kaido are completely superior. The second step is to find a way to awaken their inner cosmos and find the corresponding constellation under the training of the Saints.

The first place where one can cultivate one's inner universe is naturally the Holy Domain. However, the Holy Domain does not accept those whose sources of wealth are unclear. Those who participate in the training are usually young people who are cultivated from a young age.

Moreover, we don't know where the plot is now, whether the Galactic Arena has ended, or even whether the Zodiac Battle has ended.

Has Athena returned to Sanctuary? Have the battles in the Norse and the Sea Realm officially begun?

The worst thing for Rhodes is that the Hades War has ended. Athena has fully awakened by then, and the five Bronze Saints are all god-slaying level beings. Rhodes really doesn't want to mess with these lunatics.

"Father-in-law, we need to figure out the time here first. Wait for me here." Rhode said, then tried to use the teleportation skill, but he didn't seem to be able to mobilize the energy within his body.

With no other option, Rhodes had to run to the city. Fortunately, he was now running at supersonic speed. In fact, the punches of ordinary Saint Seiya were supersonic, so he should be able to crush Silver Saints now.

Soon Rhodes arrived in the nearest city and bought a newspaper, learning that the Galaxy Arena Tournament had been suspended for some reason.

And from some newspaper rumors, Rhodes learned that the reason for this was that someone had attacked the Galaxy Arena and stolen the loot.

Subsequently, the Kido Foundation also announced the cancellation of the Galaxy Tournament, a move that took place two weeks prior.

Damn, it can't be at this point, the battle of the twelve zodiac signs should already be over!

After confirming the current time, Rhodes returned to Kaido's side.

"So? What's Rhodes' plan? What do we do now?" Kaido asked.

“I have a general understanding of the current situation, Father-in-law. Please go into my private space for a while. I will handle the rest on my own.” Rhodes was about to go all out.

"I understand. Be careful. This world has a strange feel to it." Kaido nodded and was then sent into his private space by Rhodes. Although he couldn't use the Spark Portal, he could use his innate spatial abilities at will.

Arriving in the city once again, Rod hailed a taxi at random and tossed the driver a gold coin.

“Take me to the residence of the young lady of the Kido Group,” Rhodes said.

"Uh! Sir, is this a gold coin? I don't accept gold coins, please! Do you have Japanese yen?" the driver said, slightly embarrassed.

Is this guy some rich young master from a powerful conglomerate? He's paying with gold coins!

“This stuff is worth much more than yen, or would you like to accept US dollars?” Rhodes reluctantly took out some more US dollars, which were sponsored by Iron Man back in the Marvel universe.

"I'll return the gold coins to you, sir. I'll accept US dollars. However, I must remind you that I can only take you to the vicinity of Miss Saori Kido's private estate. Whether the security there will allow you to enter is another matter." The driver returned the gold coins to Rod, took a ten-dollar bill, and started the car.

Half an hour later, Rod was taken to a private estate. The estate was extremely luxurious, and the surrounding environment was very beautiful, with shady trees, artificial fountains, and a small lake.

The fact that the Kido Group owns such a huge estate on this land demonstrates just how much wealth they possess.

Although he couldn't project his energy, Rhodes' Observation Haki and his amazing spiritual senses allowed him to perceive some of the conditions inside the villa.

There are five superhuman auras here, but in Rhode's perception, they don't seem to be very strong. Moreover, through his Observation Haki, Rhode discovers that these five don't seem to be the five strongest Bronze Saints, but rather the five weakest Bronze Saints.

As for Saori Kido, Rhodes didn't even sense her at all, only vaguely feeling a divine aura full of love and warmth.

Just as Rhodes was pacing back and forth at the door, a young man dressed in holy armor arrived at the door.

"You are the guest the young lady spoke of. The young lady already knows you have arrived." The newcomer was dressed in purple armor and wore a helmet with a unicorn emblem on his head.

"I apologize for disturbing you, but I have come to pay my respects to Athena," Rhodes said.

He could only vaguely sense Athena's divine aura, while Saori Kido could clearly feel his arrival.

It seems that the gods of this world, the Greek gods of the Saint Seiya world, are far more powerful than the Greek gods of the God of War world.

However, it's also possible that the Athena in this world is too strong; the Athena in the Saint Seiya world is by no means weak.

This Athena's true combat power is probably already at the level of a god-king, after all, she is someone who can kill Hades with a single blow!

Meanwhile, Saori Kido has awakened Athena's power, which means that the battle of the Zodiac Palaces is now over, and the five Bronze Saints should still be recuperating before the battle of Asgard begins.

“As expected! You better not get any funny ideas. Even though Xing Shi and the others aren’t here, I can still protect Miss Saori.” Xie Wu said to Luo De.

“I came to see Athena with good intentions,” Rhodes said with a smile.

I'm not interested in a loser like you.

"That would be best, come with me!" After saying that, Xie Wu led Luo De into the manor, and the two soon arrived at a small garden.

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long violet hair reaching her waist and a graceful figure, was watering flowers.

The girl had extremely delicate features, fair and smooth skin, and her whole body radiated a holy divine glow.

The moment Rhodes saw the girl, he clearly sensed her powerful divine strength, though her body was that of an ordinary girl.

In the Marvel universe or the God of War universe, I would consider myself a God-King, or even surpass the level of a God-King. But in the Saint Seiya universe, I don't know how I should be classified.

The most unique thing about this world is the power of the cosmos!

"Jaburo! Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and do your thing! I don't need it for now." Kido Saori put down the glue in her hand and said with a charming smile.

"Miss Saori! Please, please let me stay and protect you." Jabu looked at Kido Saori with a slightly flushed face.

“Thank you for your concern, Jabu. This gentleman has no hostility whatsoever, so please leave in peace!” said Saori Kido.

The young lady's smile is still so healing! At this moment, Xie Wu is completely captivated.

"Yes, Miss Saori!" Jabu nodded, got up and left the small garden.

Before leaving, however, she gave Rhodes a warning look, as if to say, "You bastard, stay away from Saori-san."

Because this young lady is quite dangerous to mortals.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Rhodes. Should I address you as Goddess Athena or Miss Saori?" Rhodes asked.

“Mr. Rhodes, you are also a god. If you wish, you can call me Athena, or you can call me Miss Saori.” Saori Kido said with a smile.

An unknown god. Saori Kido was also very curious about Rhodes' origins, and what she was most curious about was why he didn't have a divine cosmos.

Logically speaking, every god should naturally awaken this power when they are born!

Because this is a symbol of God, without awakening the microcosm of God, there is no corresponding divine power.

But the being before them was a genuine god, and not in a reincarnated form. The other party possessed a true divine body, and even the level of that divine body was no less than that of the main gods like Hades, the King of the Underworld.

This greatly piqued the curiosity of Saori Kido, the reincarnation of Athena.

“Then, Miss Saori! I’ve come here today to ask for your help. I would like to ask you to help me awaken my divine cosmos. As for the reward, it will be a gift that you will definitely like,” Rhodes said.

“I agree! I’ll help you awaken your divine cosmos. As for payment, let’s forget about it! Thank you for your kindness,” Saori Kido said with a smile.

Helping a stranger awaken their divine cosmos was not a difficult task for her; any god could do it.

Rather than demanding a generous reward, it's better to make the other party owe you a huge favor.

A new round of holy war is about to begin, and if a true god stands on your side, the benefits will be enormous.

After all, this time she would have to face Neptune, Hades, her father in the heavens, and her brothers and sisters all by herself.

Most importantly, she was also very curious about what kind of bizarre existence this unknown god was.

Why hasn't the divine cosmos awakened, even though it's already a god-level divine body?

"Why don't you take a look at this reward first? This reward is quite special! Especially for you." After saying that, Rhodes took out the divine body of Athena from the God of War world from his private space.

Rhodes could tell that although Saori Kido's divine cosmos was stronger than his own, her body was still just a mortal.

The gods in the Saint Seiya world must have experienced a fierce battle in the mythological era, and many of their bodies were damaged, including Athena herself.

The gods in the God of War world are far less powerful than the gods in the Saint Seiya world, but this difference lies in their divine cosmos; in terms of their physical bodies, they are roughly equal.
