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

She had violet-blue hair, not blonde, and in terms of appearance...

This Athena's divine body was far inferior to her own. In fact, to prevent the Gold Saints from seeing it clearly, Athena deliberately used her Cosmo to conceal the true appearance of this body.

"Understood, Your Majesty! During the period of your fusion with your body, we of Golden Mountain will protect you with our lives," Mu said.

"Hmm! By the way, how are the repairs going for Hoshino, Hyoga, Shiryu, and Shun's Cloths?" Saori Kido asked.

These Bronze Saints have tremendous potential, even far exceeding that of the current generation of Gold Saints. Their future is the key to this victory.

"Goddess, Shaka, Aiolia, Milo, and Lord Dohko have used their own golden blood to revive the four of their Saint Cloths."

I have finished repairing their Saint Cloths. Now their Saint Cloths are much stronger than the Bronze Saint Cloths, and have even reached the level of the Silver Saint Cloths.

These people are currently recovering from their injuries. I estimate that they will return to your side in a few days after their injuries have healed. " Mu said.

If he hadn't suddenly sensed the emergence of a powerful divine cosmos on the goddess's side, he would still be taking care of those Bronze Saints on the Pamir Plateau.

Hearing this, Athena nodded in satisfaction.

But Rhodes, standing to the side, was not calm and began repairing the four Saint Cloths!

Moreover, only Shaka, Milo, Aiolia, and even Dohko himself donated blood. Taurus Aldebaran and Mu did not contribute their own golden blood at all!

What's going on here? According to the setting in the anime...

It is believed that the five surviving Gold Saints collectively bled to repair the Cloths of the five main characters, and the Cloths changed in form, even emitting a golden light later on, and were called the Gilded Bronze Cloths.

Rod clearly remembers that when he watched this part as a child, some of his friends complained about it.

If the Phoenix Cloth can be repaired even if it turns to ash with a wave of its hand, why would it need the blood of gold?

It wasn't until later, when Rhodes came across the original Saint Seiya manga, that he learned the truth behind it all.

In the manga, the Phoenix constellation did not receive the resurrection through the blood of gold, because even if the Phoenix constellation's Cloth turns to ash, it can repair itself.

Therefore, after the battle of the Twelve Palaces, the Phoenix Cloth recovered on its own, without requiring the Gold Saints to bleed.

In the manga, only four Gold Saints used their blood to repair the four Cloths. These four people are Leo Aiolia, Scorpio Milo, and Virgo Shaka.

Leo Aiolia revived the Pegasus Cloth lost by Starfall, while Scorpio Milo revived Hyoga's Cygnus Cloth. The revival of Shiryu's Dragon Cloth was accomplished by his master, Dohko, bleeding him out.

Mu did not actually contribute his Gold Saint blood. After all, repairing the Cloth requires consuming half of one's own blood, and even a Gold Saint would be weakened after bleeding out.

Afterwards, the Cloth needs to be repaired, which Mu cannot do. Repairing the Cloth also consumes a lot of Cosmo and energy.

So, damn it, is this another comic book universe?

If this is a comic book universe, then there are quite a few changes!

First of all, there are huge plot holes in the anime world. For example, why didn't the Gold Saints participate in the battle against Poseidon?

The reason is simple: three Gold Saints are currently recuperating from bleeding to repair their Cloths and have not yet recovered their full fighting strength.

Mu of Aries is responsible for protecting the Sanctuary.

Meanwhile, Aldebaran, the Taurus, was in Athena's villa, providing close protection to Saori Kido.

However, he was defeated by the sea witch Sorrento, and even died in the manga, because the sea witch took his helmet back to the sea.

It wasn't until the very end of the manga that it was revealed he wasn't killed, but rather severely injured by the Sea Generals. With several Gold Saints unable to fight, only five Bronze Saints were able to participate.

It wasn't some lame excuse like those in the animated world that prevented Dohko from going.

What? You're saying the Nordic countries are off-center?

Sorry! There was actually no Norse arc at all, because the sea witch Sorrento came and kidnapped Athena, thus starting the war in the sea.

Moreover, in the final chapter of the Battle of the Sea Realm, Poseidon, unwilling to be sealed away, hurled his trident at Athena. It was not the Great Demon King Seiya who stepped forward to protect Athena.

It was the second master, Kanon, who used his own body to block Poseidon's attack and protect Athena.

This laid the groundwork for the redemption of the Second Master in the Hades arc, but the animation team changed this part in order to highlight the protagonist status of the Great Demon King Star.

When the Hades arc came out, many fans felt that the inexplicable redemption of the second brother was unreasonable, but it turned out to be a plot hole by the anime team.

So Rhodes is now in a dilemma. Could it be that he has once again entered a comic book world instead of an anime world?

Seriously, in Japanese anime, the fighting power is stronger in the animated world, while in American comics, the fighting power is stronger in the comic book world. It's really ridiculous!

So, is the Asgard Saga over? Well, actually, the Asgard Saga wasn't that important to Rhodes anyway.

After all, there's a whole bunch of Norse gods in Azeroth, and there's also a bunch of Norse gods in the God of War world. In fact, Odin's divine armor in the Norse epics is just incredibly awful.

"Mu! I need to merge with this divine body now, and I cannot be disturbed by the outside world," said Saori Kido.

Next, she will begin preparing to merge with this divine body and restore herself to the body of a true god.

"My Goddess! If that's the case, I implore you to come to the Sanctuary. We Gold Saints will protect you closely," Mu said.

"Hmph! Miss Saori is fine with us protecting her. Your Sanctuary isn't very safe either, especially since there are only a few Gold Saints left. I think Miss Saori should stay here." Jabu said.

These words angered Aiolia, who had a rather volatile temper, and Milo, among the Gold Saints. Even Aldebaran, who was usually good-natured, was somewhat irritated.

You're just a Bronze Saint, what right do you have to say such things? Do you think you're one of them? Those guys have already awakened the Seventh Sense, they're at the level of Gold Saints.

"Lord Rhodes! I need your protection for a while, is that alright?" Saori Kido said, a charming smile on her face as she looked at Rhodes.

Rather than relying on a Gold Saint to protect her, she'd rather have this god protect her, since his strength far surpasses that of a Gold Saint.

“That’s no problem, but as far as I know, you should have twelve Gold Saints. Why are there only five left now?” Rhodes asked.

Now it's necessary to confirm exactly where this world is. He needs to understand the details of the Zodiac Battle. The storylines in the manga and anime versions are different.

Chapter 381: The Resurrection of the Gold Saints, But the Previous Generation of Gold Saints

These words created an awkward atmosphere, especially among the Gold Saints.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Lord Rhodes! There was a rebellion in the Sanctuary I was in charge of before, and many of my loyal Gold Saints bravely sacrificed their lives," Saori Kido said.

The answer was rather tactful, but it still conveyed to Rhodes that some rebellion had occurred.

"Hmph! All those traitors have been defeated. They followed the evil pope in launching a rebellion, so naturally they had to be punished by us," Xie Wu said.

The Gold Saints' expressions grew even uglier. What do you mean by saying that? It's as if you're the one who defeated us.

At this moment, Scorpio Milo clenched his fists. You damn bronze unicorn, what right do you have to say such things?

The ones who attacked us were the Stars and their group, warriors who had already mastered the Seventh Sense Cosmo, and who challenged the Twelve Palaces with the aid of the goddess's divine Cosmo.

Furthermore, most of the Gold Saints held back, and some even defected at the last minute. Otherwise, why do you think no one has ever passed through the Zodiac Palace since the age of mythology?

If Athena's barrier is activated and all twelve Gold Saints are present, even if all 108 demon stars of the Underworld were to act together, they wouldn't be able to pass through the Zodiac Palaces.

"Evil Warrior! How can you say such a thing? Back then, the Gold Saints were all deceived by the fake Pope."

"I don't blame them at all. From beginning to end, they have always been my Saints," Saori Kido said.

Jabu's loyalty to him is unquestionable, but he's just too stupid and not very strong, only at the level of an ordinary Bronze Saint.

Most importantly, this kid has little potential for growth and will probably never develop the seventh sense in his lifetime.

"Yes, Miss Saori!" After being reprimanded by Saori, Jabu immediately stepped aside.

“The Sanctuary’s defenses are currently very weak, with only five Gold Saints remaining. However, with Lord Rhodes protecting me, I will be safe,” Athena said.

This fusion with the divine body will surely attract the attention of the sea realm, and even Hades, the god of the underworld, will take action. If all the Gold Saints of the Zodiac are present, she can confidently activate Athena's Barrier directly.

Within Athena's barrier, the fighting power of other warriors is suppressed to the minimum, while her own Gold Saints can exert their fighting power to the maximum extent.

However, there are only five left now. Even if the one from the Five Elders Peak were to return, there would still only be six Gold Saints guarding the palace, which would still be a serious deficiency in terms of combat power.

Moreover, his most important warrior, his greatest trump card since the age of mythology, the god-slaying Pegasus constellation, has not yet come to power.

“I see! I was presumptuous. Do you need my help? I have a special power that might be able to revive the Gold Saints who have already died in battle,” Rhodes said.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique can be successfully used as long as there is a complete underworld. Since Hades' soul has not yet fully awakened, Rhode is very confident that he can steal some souls from the underworld.

"What! Resurrecting the dead? How is this possible? This is a power possessed only by Hades, the god of the underworld." Mu exclaimed in shock.

The ability to resurrect the dead has always been possessed only by Hades' army. With the blessing of Hades' immortality, these Specters are the most difficult to deal with.

Could it be that this god before me has some connection with Hades, the god of the underworld? But if he were connected to Hades, why would he help Athena?

"Mr. Rhodes! You mean your life energy can directly revive the dead, right?" Saori Kido's eyes lit up as she spoke.

The Saints may not know, but he certainly does: many powerful gods have the ability to resurrect mortals at will, such as the gods who possess ultimate power.

They can easily resurrect the dead, and gods who possess the laws of death or the laws of life can also resurrect the dead.

When she first helped Rhode awaken his cosmos, Saori Kido realized that the most powerful force within Rhode was actually a life energy.

He is a god who governs the life attribute, and Rhodes should have also studied some divine power of the death attribute, but he just did not master this kind of death divine power.

“You’re right, Ms. Saori! I have the ability to resurrect the dead, but the number is limited, and the souls must be extremely strong for me to summon them back from the underworld.”

"At least the seventh sense of one's cosmos must be awakened. If one is just an ordinary person, the soul strength is not enough to be resurrected. After that, the body must also be preserved," Rhodes said.

We have to put some restrictions on you. Actually, right now, if it's just about resurrecting mortals, as long as their souls still exist, Rhodes can resurrect them, ignoring all the rules.

This time, Rhode plans to first use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the souls of the dead back, and then directly use the Reincarnation Technique in conjunction with several resurrection spells from the world of Azeroth to revive them.

During his three thousand years of seclusion, Rhodes studied many things, and his mastery of resurrection magic reached a new level.

Reviving an ordinary mortal, or even a demigod, would be effortless for Rhodes.

"The Zodiac Palace Battle ended less than half a month ago, and the Gold Saints who died have only just been buried. If what you say is true, then there should be enough time?" Aldebaran said excitedly.

"I'm troubling you again, Mr. Rhodes. Please revive my Gold Saint! I would be extremely grateful," Saori Kido said, bowing to Rhodes.

Reviving the Gold Saints would be more beneficial for this Holy War, and during my fusion with the divine body, I could fully activate Athena's barrier.

Perhaps even without this goddess's intervention, the combined forces of Hades' army and Poseidon's army might not be able to break through her Zodiac Palaces.

“Miss Saori! We are also Saints, please allow us to follow you to the Sanctuary!” the five weak Bronze Saints said.

Saori Kido nodded and, along with the many Gold Saints and Rhodes, flew directly back to the Sanctuary in Greece.

"So, who are your chosen candidates for resurrection this time? Just bring their remains over," Rhodes said.

“Mr. Rhodes! Among the Gold Saints who died this time, Gemini Saga has some issues. If possible, please don’t revive him. Also, Pisces and Cancer don’t need to be revived,” Athena said.

While Gemini Saga has a kind side, his evil side is the most troublesome. He is too difficult to control, and reviving him would be a bad thing.

Cancer Deathmask was even stripped of his Gold Cloth by the goddess herself; her actions were far too heinous.

Therefore, they will not be resurrected. As for Pisces, they are die-hard fans of the Pope and their combat strength is not very good, so let's not waste the resurrection quota.
