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

These words immediately surprised all the Gold Saints present. They never expected that this god named Rod would actually make one of his subordinates a Gold Saint!

"Lord Rhodes, please forgive my bluntness, but the Gold Saints represent the highest honor of the Sanctuary and are also the personal guards of the goddess, the most loyal warriors. If a warrior is loyal to you, the Gold Cloth will not recognize him," Dohko said.

As an ancient being who has lived for over two hundred years, Dohko knows many things. Once you become a Saint, you will be Athena's Saint for life. It is impossible for someone who is loyal to another god to become Athena's Saint.

The other Gold Saints nodded in agreement. To become a Gold Saint, strength alone is not enough.

At this moment, Saori Kido, who was sitting in the goddess's seat, was also puzzled. "Rhodes, what does this mean?"

He made one of his subordinates his Gold Saint!

Given Rhodes's personality, he certainly wouldn't give away his subordinates for nothing. Although it was only a short period of contact, Saori Kido was quite certain that Rhodes and she were the same kind of people.

Moreover, Rhodes has only just awakened his divine cosmos. Although the official explanation is that the two knew each other thousands of years ago and Rhodes was helping him repair his divine body.

However, both of them knew perfectly well that they had only known Rhodes for less than a day, and Rhodes probably didn't have many strong fighters under his command.

Unless! Unless! It's someone with extremely strong physical abilities, or even someone with divine power within them, similar to Rhodes.

Athena seemed to instantly understand something; Rhodes had just become a being with a divine cosmos, entering the will of the gods.

Then he will definitely form his own group of fighters, because the opponent's divine cosmos and the will of the gods are no less than his own, and may even be above his own.

In this situation, Athena had more to think about. She had only helped the other party awaken his divine cosmos, and in return, he had given her a precious divine body and asked him to protect her.

The effort he put in was clearly disproportionate to the reward he received. Moreover, he claimed to be protecting himself, but he was even going to face off against Poseidon and Hades, as well as his brothers in the heavens, especially Apollo.

In this situation, it is clear that the other party's investment far outweighs the return. Unless one offers an even greater bargaining chip, it would be tantamount to pushing this god named Rhodes to the opposite side.

The consequences of pushing such a young and powerful god to the opposing side are simply unimaginable.

This young god wanted to make his subordinate a Gold Saint, clearly attracted by his Gold Saint training methods and the way the Saint Cloths were made.

These things are not particularly precious. Any being at the level of a main god can create custom armor for their own side and train their own unique warriors.

But for this newly promoted supreme god, these are things he does not have.

At this point, as the goddess Athena, she should be generous and give these things to the other party for free; this would be the most perfect solution.

However, Athena couldn't be too explicit in front of her subordinates. After all, she needed to maintain her dignity as a goddess and not let her Saints feel that she, the guardian goddess of the earth, was at a disadvantage.

We must find a suitable way to teach this Rhodes all the training methods for the Saint Seiya, and even the methods for making the Saint Cloths. Saori Kido's eyes darted around, and she came up with a plan.

"My Saints! You don't need to do this. Rhodes did this to help me, to repair my divine body."

He had stayed in one place for over two thousand years without ever leaving, and he hadn't even formed his own warriors. Kido Saori slowly descended from her throne, came before Rhodes, and placed her small hand on his chest.

Why say so much about our relationship?

Let your warrior become Gemini! Even if it's only temporary, I will make the Gold Cloth recognize him as its master.

Upon seeing this scene, the group of Saint Seiya warriors widened their eyes in surprise. The relationship between their goddess and this male god seemed somewhat ambiguous!

What is the relationship between you and me? No need to say so much! Moreover, he silently used his own divine power to repair the goddess's divine body for thousands of years, without even creating his own warriors.

It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed unusual, and they are having an affair. At this moment, all the Gold Saints, and even the ordinary Saints, had this thought in their minds.

Then he quickly shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind. Impossible, impossible! How could the goddess he was protecting possibly fall in love with another male god?

At this moment, Rhodes was also speechless. "Damn it! Athena, what you're saying will make people misunderstand. It makes me sound like one of your suitors."

"You can go down first! Rod and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have a lot to talk about," said Saori Kido.

"Yes, Athena!" The Gold Saints placed their hands on their chests and bowed to Saori Kido.

"By the way! After Xing Shi and the others recover from their injuries, have them put on their brand-new Saint Cloths and return to the Sanctuary immediately."

"Tomorrow I will begin arranging some matters within the Sanctuary. As for the Gold Saints who have been resurrected, they should all return to their respective palaces and familiarize themselves with the current Sanctuary," said Saori Kido.

Dohko and Mu nodded, and together with the remaining Gold Saints, they all left the Athena Palace.

After everyone had left the main hall, Saori Kido approached Rhodes and spoke.

"I apologize for making you laugh, Lord Rhodes! I know what you want. The method for forging the Saint Cloths, and the training methods for Saints."

"I can impart to you all the special combat techniques wielded by the Gold Saints, without reservation."

"In that case, thank you very much, Ms. Saori," Rod said.

He did want the special combat techniques of the Gold Saints, and the training methods of the Saints were also very suitable for those physically strong pirates or warriors from World of Warcraft.

However, to awaken one's own cosmos, one must come to this world, but the waters of this world are too deep, so Rhodes does not plan to spread the power of his cosmos to all his subordinates for the time being.

"Lord Rhodes! Please come with me! All the Gold Saints' special techniques, including the methods for forging their Cloths, are in the Pope's Astrological Chamber," Athena said.

The two quickly arrived at the astrological tower that Athena had mentioned. Athena took out the method for forging the Saint Cloth, the detailed training method for Saints, and taught Rhodes the complete set of Gold Saint techniques.

"What an incredible training method! The legacy of the Saints and the method of forging the Saint Cloths are very helpful to me. Thank you, Saori-san." Watching Athena's training method, Rhodes nodded with great satisfaction.

Unlike the training methods of the Marine Warriors, Specters, and even the Asgardian God Warriors, the Saint Seiya training method is unique, which is the fundamental reason why the Saint Seiya have been able to defeat other god warriors time and time again.

The seventh sense of their cosmos, along with the accompanying royal battle tactics, allow the twelve Gold Saints to deal with any enemy except gods, and even some weak gods.

"Miss Saori, I want to forge my own Saint Cloth armor. The Saint Cloth forging method and Saint Seiya training method you provided will be of great help to me," Rhodes said.

In the Saint Seiya world, how can someone who has become a god-level being not build their own army of Cosmo warriors?

"My Saint Cloth forging method is very special. In this era, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to replicate it," said Saori Kido.

Athena's own divine cosmos blessed these Cloths at their very birth and recognized them as her master. Athena is the first master of all the Cloths, and the other warriors are second.

Forging Saint Cloth armor is extremely difficult. For example, his Gold Cloth was given the power of the sun because of his brother Apollo's favor, which allowed him to become one of the twelve zodiac signs.

Having absorbed the sun's radiance, they transformed into golden armor. In terms of strength, the twelve Gold Cloths absolutely surpass the armor of all the main god warriors.

Although the scales of the Seven Sea Emperor Generals are also gold, they are still inferior to the Gold Cloths in terms of strength.

Hades' 108 Dark Stars, the Earth-rank Surplice, are comparable in strength to the Bronze Cloths, except that they cover a larger area than the Bronze Cloths.

The Silver Cloth corresponds to the Heavenly Rank Surplice, and even the Surplice of the three Judges is not as strong as the Gold Cloth.

Hades' Surplice is made from black gemstones from the underworld, and Hades himself imbued it with the power of the Star of Demons. The bodies of the Specters are merely puppets of the Surplice.

The materials used to make their Saint Cloths are star sand and orichalcum, also known as Orichalco. Then, the Saints of each generation continuously strengthened these Bronze and Silver Saint Cloths with their Cosmo and their own blood.

As for the twelve Gold Cloths, they are blessed by the power of the sun. In terms of strength, only the God Cloth, or the Divine Cloth, or the Divine Scale Cloth, surpass the Gold Cloths.

But this requires the blessing of divine blood, and her own Gold Cloth, as long as Athena is willing, and the Gold Saint's cosmos can reach the Eighth Sense.

Then they can awaken into Gold Saint Cloths, and even weak gods can be destroyed by these Gold Saints.

Athena told Rhodes everything.

"Orichalco! That is, the stock of Orichalco is gone. There were some remnants of this in the mythical era, but it can no longer be found in this era."

"There should still be a lot of Stardust on the Pamir Plateau, enough to repair Saint Cloths, but not enough for mass production," Athena said.

Materials were extremely scarce in this era; even the Iron Saint Seiya that Chen Huguang was developing only barely met the requirements!

"Actually, I have the materials right here. You should have noticed, right? One of the materials used to forge this armor is Orichalcum," Rhodes said.

"Yes! I can also sense several other very special materials, and even several extremely sacred fire powers." Athena nodded and said.

The divine armor that Rhode awakened was almost as strong as his own divine armor.

Of course, his own Victory Scepter and Athena's Shield are rather special divine artifacts, and in terms of strength, they have even reached the level of divine armor.

I wonder if this Mr. Rhodes has his own divine weapon?

Upon hearing this, Rhodes smiled and took out two very special metals from his own space.

First, there's Orichalcum from the Greek world. Cultivating this stuff isn't actually that difficult.

However, it requires the power of the Titans, and the reason why Orichalcos was formed was actually because of some fragments of the Titans' bodies.

The ten-tailed beast born in his own space is equivalent to a Titan. By using his own ancient Greek divine power, he can cut off some of the broken branches of the ten-tailed beast to form Orichalcum.

Rhodes can replicate a portion of ordinary Titan Iron using his Devil Fruit ability, and he can even replicate a portion of White Dwarf Metal if he wants to. However, White Dwarf Metal is more difficult to forge and does not possess any divine power.

As for the Aesir's Uru metal, Rhode can also replicate it using his Devil Fruit ability. The only thing he can't replicate is the Super Titan metal, which requires the power of a Titan with a Star Soul like Sargeras.

Although his combat power increased exponentially after obtaining the Divine Cosmo, the essence of divine power did not change much from before.

So this time, Rhodes took out Orichalcos from the God of War universe, along with some Titan Iron.

The appearance of the bronze-colored Orichalcos and the deep blue Titan Iron immediately caught Athena's eye, and she then stroked the two special metals.

This is indeed a top-tier metal, and its conductivity with the microcosm should be excellent.

The metal that emitted a mysterious blue glow was one she had never seen before, but the divine power it contained was indeed very strong, and it had excellent conductivity.

However, another bronze-colored metal was very similar to the Orichalcum she was familiar with. They looked almost identical, but there were slight differences, which puzzled Athena greatly, since Orichalcum should have completely disappeared.

"Is this...is this Orichalcos? It's a little different from the Orichalcos I know, but I can't quite put my finger on the difference," Saori Kido asked.

"This is Orichalcum from another world. I have a lot of this Orichalcum in stock, which can be used as material for Saint Cloths."

"This blue gold is called Titan Iron. I want to mix these two metals to forge the armor material for my warriors," Rhode said.

"Good idea, Mr. Rhodes. These two metals are perfectly adequate, even excellent."

"What you lack now is a craftsman to make the Saint Cloths. If you don't have a craftsman, I can only let Aries try." Saori Kido said.

I wonder how good the forging skills are for this generation of Aries Saints? To forge your own warrior armor, you'll need a skilled craftsman.

Or perhaps, Lord Rhodes is truly able to summon Hephaestus, the god of fire from another world?

If we can really summon the Vulcan, then we can add a little of these two materials to our own Divine Cloth to enhance its strength.

"Of course, there are artisans, and they are very suitable—Hephaestus, the god of fire from another world," Rhodes said.

At this point, the importance of the Vulcan becomes apparent. If the Vulcan is too busy, Rhodes can even travel to Azeroth and bring over the Vidani dwarves.

However, given the forging speed of the God of War in the God of War world, dozens of Saint Cloths could be made without needing anyone else.

"Then there's no problem, Lord Rhodes. You can give this information to the Vulcan of another world."

"Then you can let him forge them. After forging, you can use your divine cosmos to bind these armors, and then you can begin training your warriors," Athena said.

So he really is a fire god from another world! Then, besides the fire god, are there any other gods? Or, did the fire god from another world also fail to awaken his own divine cosmos?

"Miss Saori! How long will it take you to fuse with this divine body? After you finish fusing with the divine body, I plan to begin the forging of holy will," Rhodes said.

As for the choice of fighters, Rhodes already had an idea in mind.

"It will take about seven days to fully integrate with this divine body," said Saori Kido.

This is already the fastest speed possible. During this time, his Gold Saints must protect the Sanctuary well.

"Well then, I'll bring over the candidate for Gemini Gold Saint first! And I'll also trouble you, Miss Saori, to help him awaken his divine cosmos," Rhodes said.

Previously, when Athena helped him awaken his cosmos, Rhodes did not watch the whole process, but instead devoted himself wholeheartedly to the awakening of his divine cosmos.

This time, when Kaido awakens his cosmos, Rhodes plans to let him help and then watch the whole process himself. After learning this awakening method, he will also help the two sun gods, as well as the god of fire and the god of love in his own space.

Even future Azeroth, Sargeras, and others could awaken their divine cosmos themselves!

A flash of light appeared, and Kaido, the old father-in-law carrying a spiked club, appeared in the goddess's hall.

"Rhodes! Have you found a suitable training method yet?"

"Of course."

Upon seeing Kaido, Saori Kido was surprised; yet another god. (End of Chapter)
