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

Why come here to trade? Because as a powerful god, he can't just give Rhodes benefits right away!

He needs to find a way to help Rhodes grow to the level of an absolute god, or even further, in order to help himself.

Those absolute gods, each one of them is a creator god, possessing unparalleled power from the moment of their birth, second only to him, the super god.

Cultivating such a powerful being is no easy task, so Saturn decided to personally deliver some benefits to this god without arousing suspicion.

“You only need to give me three types of energy, just a little bit of each. It won’t even be considered a consumption for you. I can control them as soon as I feel them,” Saturn said.

Wen Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately condensed a ball of evil energy, order energy, and life energy, then put it in a sealed bottle and handed it to the super god.

Saturn nodded and put away all three types of energy that Rhode had sent him. In the future, when he saw Rhode, he would have a legitimate reason to use these three powers.

“These energies come from other worlds and will be of some help to me. Is there anything you want?” Saturn coughed and asked.

Why does this god-like player seem a bit strange coming here?

Forget it! I'm not in a position to think that much now. In front of this person, I'm nothing.

“Lord God, I originally intended to seize Hades’s divine position and divine status, but I have now imprisoned his soul,” Rhodes said.

“I see. So you want Hades’s throne?” Saturn nodded and said.

How pathetic! You are also an awakened one of the wills of the gods, as is Hades.

Even your own divine power is not much less than Hades', and may even be stronger, especially the primal divine power you possess, which is the power that enabled you to embark on the path of primal godhood.

Your most important task now is to master this primordial divine power, thereby reaching the ultimate power, the level of a primordial god, and then progressing towards an absolute god.

You actually want to seize the power of Hades, the god of the underworld? In Saturn's eyes, that's a complete waste of time!

The other party possesses extremely powerful spatial abilities, even capable of traversing worlds, but if you want to discuss with me, or even exchange and learn from each other, then you at least need to reach a godlike level!

What should we do? How can we increase this little guy's power? (Although Saturn is known as the overlord of all time and space, he cannot arbitrarily create a primordial god or an absolute god.)

"Lord Saturn! You are the god who controls time. Could you create a divine artifact for me that would allow me to accelerate the time of a planet or an entire galaxy at will?" Rhodes asked tentatively.

He didn't need Saturn's help to seize the power of Hades; he could handle it himself.

When planting the Divine Tree in the future, the power of time will be needed to accelerate the process, but the power of the Time Stone in the Marvel universe has already been exhausted.

Replenishing the power of time in the Marvel universe every time it runs out is too troublesome. It would be great if this master of time were willing to help.

If this all-encompassing overlord of time and space were willing to lend a hand in creating a small artifact that could accelerate time within a certain area, it would be of immense benefit to him.

“Hmm! So, you want to learn the power of time from me? To learn how to apply the laws of time,” Saturn said.

To learn the power of time and comprehend its essence, even the primordial gods are not qualified; only those who reach the level of absolute gods are qualified.

Moreover, they must be among the best of the absolute gods.

Of course, this is only the time law he has mastered. If it is some low-level time power, then it can also be cultivated, but the super god would not care about such things. If you want to learn, you have to learn the best.

"Ahem! What I meant was that I would like to ask you to help me make a time artifact. I wouldn't dare trouble you, Lord God." Rhodes said.

Please, my current power isn't even qualified to touch the laws of time. I only have some powerful spatial abilities.

“If you want to learn, I can teach you some applications of the laws of time, but you must at least reach the level of an absolute god before you can learn from me,” Saturn said.

The primal divine power this kid possesses is far inferior to that of a true primal god, but since he obtained primal divine power during the era of the will of the gods, he certainly has a lot of room for growth.

Damn! Absolutely divine! You make it sound so easy!

I've only just begun to grasp the will of the gods; I haven't even figured out that the primordial gods possess ultimate power yet!

"What you should be doing right now is not actually fusing with Hades's divine power. I know you possess very powerful primordial divine power. You should transform your divine power with attributes into primordial divine power without any attributes."

I sense a divine power within you that grows stronger over time.

However, it's still a bit lacking compared to the power of the primordial gods, let alone the power of an absolute god. Saturn intended to give Rhodes some pointers and tell him the right path.

(To clarify the setting here, Sargeras and Azeroth are both at the level of primordial gods with ultimate power. Azeroth, who is born with control over the six Forces, cannot surpass the primordial gods, because absolute gods reach the level of the multiverse and can create more than one single universe. Although the Titans in the God of War universe possess primordial god power, they basically do not use it and are considered a kind of deformed god.)

Study primordial divine power! I'd love to!

But the simplest way now is to continue cultivating the Ten-Tails, and then cultivate a Ten-Tails that can devour the Titans, and then devour the corpse of a primordial Titan.

Then a Titan Fruit with primordial divine power will appear, and then I can eat these fruits and reach the level of a primordial god.

So, God of War, you should make me a time artifact now!

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty, but I am still far from being an absolute god. I'm afraid it will take a long time to reach that level," Rhodes said.

The meaning has been expressed very subtly; what Rhodes still wants is an artifact that can accelerate time.

"You've decided you still want a time artifact, right? Fine, I'll grant your request," Saturn said.

"Thank you, Your Highness Saturn!" Rhodes said.

Saturn didn't speak, but simply nodded, and a green power of time appeared in his palm.

It then gradually solidified into a small ring, which was then handed to Rhodes.

"This is a divine artifact that I created using the power of time, and I have modified it."

It allows you to barely use primal divine power to accelerate the time of an entire planet or a whole galaxy.

"If you can reach the level of an absolute god, then using this artifact can even accelerate the time of the entire universe. The extent of the acceleration is related to the strength of your divine power." Saturn explained the function of this time artifact to Rhodes in detail.

To use a time-manipulating artifact created by a god of his level, one would need at least the ultimate power of a primordial god.

It will be very difficult for this kid to use it now, but it's still usable.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded and put away the circular time artifact. With this time artifact, he would have much more room to maneuver in the future.

“You have a good relationship with Athena in this timeline!” Saturn said.

This kid wants the power of Hades. Saturn had a plan in mind, which might allow him to touch the threshold of the primordial gods.

Chapter 390 The Godly Mission, Athena Awakens

“Oh, God of War, Athena in this timeline is my partner, and I may take her away in the future,” Rhodes nodded and said.

Athena had previously said that she couldn't bear to leave Earth, so Rhodes promised Saori Kido that he would pack up the entire Earth and take it with him in the future, so that he could leave with her to protect the land.

Earth in the Saint Seiya world is extremely precious. It is protected by the gods, making it far more durable than Little Garden Planet, and it also possesses abundant life force.

If I can harness the power of stars, I might be able to use Earth in the Saint Seiya world to plant the Divine Tree.

However, Earth in the Saint Seiya world is protected by a barrier set up by the gods, so Rhode's current power is insufficient to take the planet away; he would need to reach the level of a primordial god.

Only then could they pack up and take Earth away; otherwise, Rhodes would not be able to shake this planet with the barrier set up by the gods.

"I understand! I have a benefit for you, would you like to take it? Maybe you can take advantage of this opportunity."

"You can even evolve your divine power completely into primordial divine power, thus reaching the level of a primordial god. As for ultimate power, you can comprehend it slowly," Saturn said.

What?! This is amazing! I can be promoted to a Primal God! Isn't this super god being a little too nice to me?

Rhodes could clearly sense that this Saturn was very kind to him, even to the point of being overly friendly.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Without sufficient benefit, no one, except your parents, would be kind to you for no reason. Could this Saturn have some ulterior motive towards you?

However, he couldn't show it now, since the opponent was a god-level being. The best approach was to get rid of this god-level being first. In any case, he had already gained enough benefits in the Saint Seiya universe.

After the god leaves, discuss with Athena what to do next.

"I have observed countless unknown time and space. According to the original timeline, Athena will cooperate with the Pegasus constellation in the future and then kill all the Olympian gods."

However, there are several possibilities that Athena will be defeated by the soon-to-arrive god of war, Mars, and the entire Earth will turn into Mars—this is one possibility.

"Athena and her Saints will all be defeated and killed, but there is another possibility: Athena will be killed by the Dark God Aps. This possibility is the most likely. I have observed the timeline of tens of thousands of universes, and in most cases, Athena was killed by the Dark God," Saturn said.

Rhodes knew this. According to the Omega world's setting, before the main storyline began, Seiya had already finished the Heaven Arc and dealt with the Olympian gods.

At that time, Seiya's fighting power was off the charts. Although he was nominally a Gold Saint, the power of Pegasus could not be measured by ordinary Gold Saints.

"Then, Lord God, what exactly is this opportunity you mentioned for becoming a Primordial God?" Rhodes asked.

“In an unknown spacetime, I discovered a slight discrepancy. In that spacetime, Athena’s Saints actually defeated the Absolute God Apus, thus preventing Athena from being killed by the God of Darkness,” Saturn said.

Hades' death was predetermined, as were the Olympian gods; they were all destined to be defeated by Athena, but what happened afterward...

Everything he observed was Athena being killed, either by the god of darkness or the god of war from Mars.

Saturn wasn't surprised that Athena was able to defeat the Martian god of war, since the two gods were roughly equal in strength, and in the end, the Martian god of war obtained a portion of Aps's dark power.

But the fact that Athena's Saints were able to defeat Apus, the god of darkness, greatly surprised Saturn.

Are you kidding me? The opponent is an absolute god, while Athena hasn't even reached the level of a primordial god. She's always been subject to the will of the gods, and her Saints have only attained the Eighth Sense.

In Saturn's eyes, the gods that Athena had defeated before were just a bunch of weaklings, not worth mentioning at all.

But the absolute god Apus is different; he is the dark god who created the universe, even though there are countless Apus in the endless worlds.

Saturn was still puzzled by the killing of Apus. Even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance, it was still very absurd that Athena's Saint could kill the Dark God Apus.

Even in the universe where Rhodes currently exists, according to Saturn's observations, Athena will eventually be killed by the dark god Apus, provided that Rhodes is not present.

Therefore, according to Saturn's observations, two singularities appeared: one was the universe that had already killed Apus, and the other was the universe where Rhodes was located.

It was precisely because the future of this universe was becoming unclear that Saturn turned his attention to it, thus discovering the existence of Rhodes.

The emergence of two singularities, both related to Athena, piqued Saturn's interest.

“Lord Saturn, it’s just that there’s a problem with one of the universes. Perhaps that’s one of the possibilities,” Rhodes said.

“Perhaps you’re right, but my original plan was to send an avatar to that universe, disguised as a human, to explore that world and observe Athena and the humans there,” Saturn said.

He is actually a god without a physical form, so every time he descends to another universe, he uses the power of that universe to create a divine body.

But now Saturn has decided to change his strategy; he no longer intends to travel to the universe where the singularity has appeared.

“Lord Saturn! I don’t think we need to intervene. Perhaps more anomalies will appear in the future, and things will return to normal then,” Rhodes said.

Just kidding, that world is extremely dangerous, but it really is outrageous, like a Saint Seiya with a sixth sense suddenly unleashing his power and defeating himself.

This is absolutely impossible! The power of an absolute god is beyond human imagination; he even created the universe.

Even though this god of darkness was banished by the combined forces of the gods and was not at his peak in strength and condition, it was still quite absurd for him to be defeated by a human.

Even if an absolute god is weak, or has been banished from his own world for a long time, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what, the other party is still a god. Just the dark power he emits can greatly increase the strength of Mars, the God of War.

Damn it, I was actually defeated by a Saint wearing a Gold Cloth, and the opponent's Gold Cloth hadn't even evolved to the level of a God Cloth.
