He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

"what!"

Just then, a scream came from the Gold Saint's treasure chest.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the strongest Dark Dragon was finally defeated and knocked to the ground by the eight Dark Saints controlled by Li Chuan's shadow clone.

However, the eight Dark Saints controlled by Li Chuan were also nearly beyond human form.

"I never imagined that even the mighty Lord Ikki would die in the end!"

Dark Dragon lay on the ground, his eyes dimming as he looked at Ikki's corpse.

"Tianlong, let's go back to Death Queen Island and never come out again."

The Dark Fairy walked in terror to the Dark Heavenly Dragon's side, picked him up, and leaped away from the arena.

Hyoga showed no mercy, killing Dark Pegasus, who was significantly weaker than him. Seiya, whose strength was not much different from his own, could not hold back and killed Dark Pegasus while severely injured.

Shun, being kind-hearted, showed mercy when defeating the Dark Fairy, only injuring her slightly.

However, after witnessing the defeat of both the powerful Ikki and the strongest Dark Dragon, he became disheartened and no longer wanted to fight, so he returned to Death Queen Island with the Dark Dragon.

No one tried to stop them.

These Dark Saints were, to put it bluntly, just lowly pawns following orders, and besides, neither of them had managed to cause any real damage.

"Brother Chuan, when did you have twins?"

With everything settled, everyone looked on in surprise when they saw Li Chuan's shadow clone standing next to the Gold Cloth.

They are exactly the same, in height, appearance, even the clothes and hairstyle. It's absolutely amazing.

Even if they are twins, they look so alike.

"Oh, those aren't twins, they're just one of my abilities."

Li Chuan released his shadow clone, and the Li Chuan beside the Golden Cloth immediately turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

"You...you have way too many abilities!"

Everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips at the sight.

From the initial healing to the later water dragon, teleportation, illusion, peacock, and clones, especially the clones, if you only create clones to confuse the enemy, that's acceptable.

But that clone also had the ability to control its body and mind, and even defeated the Dark Heavenly Dragon, which was no weaker than them.

Your abilities alone are almost equal to the sum of all of our abilities.

The worst part is that you still don't have a Saint Cloth, which is really outrageous.

"Is everyone alright?"

After ordering her subordinates to evacuate all the spectators, Kido Saori arrived at the arena with her butler, Tatsuya.

Li Chuan replied with a smile:

"Everything is fine, but the Galaxy Tournament probably can't continue."

The Sanctuary sent Ikki and the Dark Saints to seize the Gold Cloths, but since they failed, they certainly won't give up so easily. The Sanctuary may send other Saints later.

Furthermore, we need to figure out why the Sanctuary sent people to steal the Gold Cloth.

"I've already announced the suspension of the competition, and there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Although she wasn't at the stadium, she heard what Yihui said through the high-tech equipment there.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded.

They also wanted to learn some things from Saori Kido, such as why Mitsumasa Kido sent them to various parts of the world to compete for the Saint Cloths, and why he held the Galactic Tournament.

"Brother Chuan, I'm sorry, this wasn't originally your business, but I dragged you into it."

On the way from the arena to the Kido family villa, Seiya scratched the back of his head and apologized.

Originally, Li Chuan wanted to travel around the world, but he ended up fighting for his life here and seemed to be involved in a huge conspiracy, which made him feel very guilty.

Li Chuan, on the other hand, smiled and patted Seiya on the shoulder:

"No need for that, we're friends!"

Furthermore, the purpose of Saint Seiya is to uphold justice, sweep away darkness, and protect the weak. Although I don't yet have my own Saint Cloth, I am not a true Saint Seiya.

Actually, I also gained a lot. I felt my inner strength had increased in this battle, which can be considered a form of training.

What he said wasn't entirely untrue; his inner strength did indeed grow after this battle.

There are only two ways for a Saint Seiya to improve their Cosmo. One is that they are born with extraordinary talent and can improve their Cosmo simply by sitting and contemplating until they attain the Seventh Sense and reach the level of a Gold Saint.

Another method, which is commonly used, is an infinite loop of fighting, getting injured, gaining insight, fighting, getting injured, and gaining insight. This is especially effective when facing a cosmos that is stronger than oneself.

Of course, when facing a cosmos stronger than oneself, it is easy to die in battle. Not everyone has the willpower and luck of the five Bronze Saints.

In addition, there are some clever methods, such as being deprived of the five senses, receiving the assistance and blessing of the goddess Athena, or having one's willpower explode beyond its limits, which can also greatly enhance one's strength.

However, it is not as stable as the two mentioned above. It may rise to a level close to gold all at once, but then fall back down after the event ends.

Even if you fall back to the bottom, you can still make significant progress.

Li Chuan was able to defeat Ikki instantly not because his cosmos was stronger than Ikki's, but mainly because of the power he obtained from other worlds. Therefore, he was fighting beyond his level, and his cosmos naturally improved as well.

However, since there was no mental pressure, the improvement was not as obvious as that of Seiya and the others.

There's no way to prevent this. Even if he deliberately avoids using other abilities and only fights with his cosmos, and gets brutally beaten by the enemy like Seiya and the others, he still can't quickly increase his cosmos.

Because Seiya and his friends genuinely felt they were in danger, and that if they didn't unleash their full potential, they would die.

He knew very well that he was not in any danger and could not die. Without the oppressive feeling of being in a desperate situation, his inner universe would not exceed its limits.

He couldn't possibly challenge a Gold Saint to a duel; that might lead to a desperate situation, but it wasn't necessary.

Wouldn't it be incredibly foolish to actually die?

He has so many worlds to explore, so many ways to steadily improve his strength, why choose the most radical one?

To put it bluntly, even if the holy war in this world fails and Earth is ruled by Hades and becomes a dead star, he simply won't come back.

So unless there are special circumstances, he will definitely choose to steadily improve his inner power, since he has plenty of time and lifespan to slowly endure it.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Seiya, who was not particularly cunning, immediately showed a look of gratitude.

"Why don't we wait until this is over and have Saori Kido give you that Gold Cloth? You don't have a Cloth anyway, and if it weren't for you today, Ikki would have already taken it from her."

He truly felt that Li Chuan, with his immense strength, righteousness, and kindness, was a perfect match for that legendary golden armor.

And coincidentally, Li Chuan never had a Saint Cloth to wear.
