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

The divine cosmos is very special; after entering the will of the gods, Rhodes' own divine power was also enhanced.

Moreover, when the microcosm burns, ordinary gods can only burn their own divine power, but when they are fighting desperately, they can burn their own divine soul.

Rhodes is different. He can burn his own divine power, and he can switch between Asgardian and Greek divine power at will.

In addition, Rhode's life energy, plus chakra power, can both serve as nourishment for the burning of his cosmos, because both of these are life energies that can make the cosmos burn rapidly, and the effect is even comparable to the power of a god.

In addition, Rhodes's power of order and the chaotic power of fel energy can also be used as fuel for his cosmos, and the burning of these two powers will produce unexpected effects.

They even integrate all their power to burn their inner universe, generating even more powerful attacks and destructive forces.

After obtaining the divine cosmos and entering the will of the gods, Rhodes' combat power increased many times over.

Cosmo is a unique power in the Saint Seiya world, the foundation upon which all things are formed, and it was present during the transformation of Rhode's body.

My personal space also underwent a sudden change, with its interior more than doubling in size and becoming more solid.

At the same time, Rhodes also gained an ability: through his divine cosmos, he could easily open a channel of consciousness.

His private space could also become a kind of passageway to the gods. Any being that Rhodes wanted to enter this place, unless it was a god or wearing a divine robe, would be torn to pieces.

"Mr. Rhodes! After we go out, can you say it like this?" Saori Kido came to Rhodes' side and whispered.

"No problem, Ms. Saori!"

Athena nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and then removed the barrier she had just set up.

Rhodes, clad in divine armor, appeared before the crowd, emanating a powerful divine aura.

The five weakest Bronze Saints, and even several Gold Saints, felt unimaginable pressure and collectively knelt on the ground.

As an ordinary person, the old butler Chen Yi fainted immediately. Rhodes's divine cosmos contained the power of Conqueror's Haki, and the pressure it could generate was far stronger than that of other gods.

The five Bronze Saints knelt on the ground without any power to resist, while the five Gold Saints were frantically burning their cosmos, trying to lift their knees.

Aldebaran, Milo, and Aiolia were completely unable to move, and their heads were even spinning.

Shaka and Mu were barely able to stay conscious, but they were still struggling to resist Rhodes's oppressive aura.

"Mr. Rhodes, do not unleash your divine power indiscriminately. A god's cosmos is extremely powerful to ordinary people; even a Gold Saint cannot withstand it," said Saori Kido as she stepped forward.

"Sorry, Ms. Saori!" Rhodes smiled and withdrew his divine pressure. Having just entered the realm of the gods and awakened his divine cosmos, Rhodes did not restrain his power.

So this was just released unintentionally. With Rhodes' current life level, plus the assistance of the Divine Cosmo, the effect of fully releasing Conqueror's Haki would be absolutely devastating, and might even affect some weak gods.

Not to mention the Saints! After Rhodes withdrew his divine pressure, the Gold Saints were relieved and gasped for breath.

Athena quickly used her divine cosmos to restore the power of the Gold Saints.

So powerful! Mr. Rhodes's divine cosmic pressure is truly immense, and it carries a hint of absolute dominance, as if he wants all things to submit to him and himself.

His own Gold Saint was utterly powerless against this one.

Unless they receive a boost from the goddess's cosmos, these Gold Saints simply cannot withstand such divine power.

Moreover, this was only something he released unintentionally. If he consciously released his aura, what terrifying consequences would it cause?

This divine pressure is even stronger than Hades, the god of the underworld, and Poseidon, the god of the sea! What kind of monster are you?

"Goddess! Is this, this unknown god, your friend?" Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Rhodes warily as he asked.

It would be a dereliction of duty for me, a Gold Saint, to leave such a powerful god alone with Athena!

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Gold Saints. This Lord Rhodes is my friend. We've known each other for thousands of years and are very close allies," Saori Kido said.

Before they came out, the two had already discussed it and decided to explain to the outside world that Rhodes and Athena had known each other since the time of mythology.

The reason he never appeared before the Saints was because Rhodes wanted to help Athena repair her damaged divine body.

"Athena! I have completed the task you asked me to do. Your divine body has now been fully restored." Rhodes cooperated and once again presented Athena's divine body.

Upon seeing the divine body radiating unimaginable divine light and possessing an aura familiar to them, the Gold Saints gaped in astonishment.

"This, this is the body of a god, Goddess, is this your former divine body?" At this moment, Tong Hu, who was far away on Five Old Peaks, asked incredulously.

Even this over two-hundred-year-old antique didn't know that Athena's divine body still existed; there were absolutely no records of it in the Sanctuary.

However, only the Pope truly understands everything about the Sanctuary. The Pope has always kept many secrets of the Saints, even secrets concerning the goddess Athena.

Perhaps this is another secret kept by the Pope. It's a pity that his old friend was ambushed and killed, and many secrets that only the Pope knew were not passed down.

"That's right! In the distant mythological era, a battle took place between the gods. Many gods' bodies were shattered, and only their souls remained."

Therefore, I can only be reincarnated in the human world repeatedly, taking on human bodies. This includes me. Although my divine body has been greatly damaged, it is not beyond repair.

Rhodes is a god who is proficient in life energy and possesses extremely powerful life force. His power was able to repair my divine body. It took him more than two thousand years to completely repair my divine body.

"And it was only in this era that my divine body was returned," Athena Saori Kido said.

Upon hearing this, all the Gold Saints gaped, their faces filled with disbelief.

Rhodes' lips twitched. The Athena in the Saint Seiya world was much more intelligent than the Athena in the God of War world! And she was also a little cunning. Nevertheless, Rhodes nodded in agreement.

"That's right! All these years I have been using my own life energy to repair Athena's divine body."

Athena's divine body was repaired after Kratos pierced her chest with an arrow.

However, he used his own life energy, and during the three thousand years of seclusion, Rhode would occasionally take out this divine body and use his life energy to maintain it.

So there's not much of a problem with what Athena said. But if Athena says that, won't these Gold Saints misunderstand me as a male god who has been obsessed with Athena since the mythological era?

Damn it, what god would tirelessly spend thousands of years repairing a goddess's body?

When I was a kid watching anime, I felt that Athena was a scheming woman. Now that I've met Rhodes, I can conclude that Kido Saori is the same type of person as me.

Rhodes realized that Ms. Kido Saori was trying to win him over.

"I never imagined, Goddess, that you would have such a powerful divine friend who spent over two thousand years repairing your divine body," said Leo Aiolia.

"I see. So, Goddess, you are about to return to your divine body?" Mu asked.

In other words, is the human girl's body that is currently in use going to be abandoned? But after losing Athena's soul, this body dies.

As for those Bronze Saints, especially Pegasus Saints, they might not truly acknowledge Athena, but rather Saori Kido!

"I'm not going back to my divine body. Next, I'm going to fuse my divine body with my current human body, making the two bodies one," Athena said.

Simply occupying this body would be a waste of the divine body that I have painstakingly cultivated and continuously evolved over centuries.

By fusing these two divine bodies, she might even be able to surpass her own body from the mythological era and further enhance her strength. Athena could sense the divine power flowing within this body, and it was also true that Greek divine power could be fused with one's own.

Moreover, Athena doesn't have the habit of using other people's bodies, especially not the Athena from another world. So this divine body was transformed into the purest energy and then absorbed by her own body.

She has 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 nature of this body.

"Understood, Your Majesty! During the period of your fusion with your body, we of the 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 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 once they have fully 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 must have been the collective bloodshed of the five surviving Gold Saints that repaired the Cloths of the five main characters, and changed their form, even emitting a golden glow later on, which became known as 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 repair itself even if it turns to ash, why does it still 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 that Northern Europe is off-track?

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

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, 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 and are 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 not a 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 differ. (End of Chapter)
