Chapter 378: The Surge of Exploding Divine Power, Kido Saori

For safety, Luode placed everyone except himself into his personal space and alone crossed over into the Saint Seiya universe.

This was Japan in the 1980s; when Luode first explored this world, he thought it was just an ordinary parallel world! But after learning there was a Kido Financial Group here and a place called Sanctuary in ancient Greece,

Luode immediately realized what kind of place this was; in terms of danger level, the Saint Seiya world is not inferior to the Marvel Comics world.

So, with almost no hesitation, Luode left this world, merely making a coordinate record here and swearing that he would never return unless he reached the level of a true god.

After all, in this world only becoming a true god counts as barely having self-defense capability; even so, it's still possible to be killed by a mortal existence of the Eighth Sense Cosmo.

Upon returning to this world once more, Luode felt a different sensation; his divine power began to stir inexplicably, as if the divine power within him were about to explode! Like the universe bursting apart! Luode could only tightly contract his divine power to make this throbbing feeling disappear, forcibly suppressing his divine power to prevent it from exploding.

There was no way, because Luode couldn't be sure whether this great explosion would blast him to pieces! Leaving no remains.

Or it would form a cosmic explosion and then produce a Cosmo of his own.

If it's the latter, that's naturally the best choice, allowing him to smoothly awaken a God's Cosmo; but if it's the former, it's outright suicide.

The Love God and the Fire God, both possessing complete divinity and divine power, if released would likely produce the same feeling as his own.

Yet these ancient Greek gods lack his self-control and suppressive ability; they might easily explode with divine power, so for safety's sake.

The Fire God father and daughter, together with the Love God Luode, he temporarily did not release them, instead choosing to first release his father-in-law Kaido.

"Is this the new world? I, I feel a strange sensation!" Kaido suddenly spoke awkwardly.

He felt his own divine power, vital energy, and the Asgard divine power Luode had previously given him suddenly stir.

"Father-in-law, do you feel this too? Suppress this feeling; absolutely do not let your divine power burst inside." Luode hurriedly said.

"I know; I'm a warrior who's trained for years, I can control my body and internal energy, I can still do it." Kaido gritted his teeth and said.

Geez, who'd be stupid enough to let their energy explode inside? Naturally one must find a way to suppress it, though this world seems extremely dangerous! Suppress the internal divine power.

Kaido could only rely on his physical body to fight; even any energy-based attack could not be released.

"I need to master this world's cultivation method; this world possesses a power called Cosmo, which is like a cosmic big bang.

Otherwise, we two can now only use great physical strength; any other form of energy cannot be used." Luode said.

When Luode first crossed over, he was merely an apprentice sorcerer, with only a faint evil energy inside, feeling nothing special; but after becoming a true god and arriving here, Luode realized how strong this world's suppressive force is.

In this world, Luode can at most use his physical strength; any evil energy magic, chakra magic, Olympiad math magic, even his own special skills cannot be used, because he must suppress his divine power.

"This is really unbearable! Then where should we go to learn this power?" Kaido said.

"Let me think." Luode sat cross-legged on the ground and began to think.

First, to become a Saint, one must accept a Saint's guidance in order to cultivate.

The first step is to break the body's limits, possess superhuman physical quality, laying the strongest foundation for awakening Cosmo.

His father-in-law Kaido's physique is extremely strong; after advancing to demigod, his physical quality is not inferior to the gods of the God of War world, and after obtaining the Asgard people's divine power, it improved further.

And Luode himself is definitely a God King–level lifeform; his divine body is strong to an absurd degree.

In terms of physique, Luode and Kaido are completely beyond the norm; the second step is, under the Saints' training, to begin figuring out how to awaken the Cosmo within and find the corresponding constellation.

Places where one can cultivate Cosmo, the first is naturally Sanctuary; but Sanctuary does not accept those with obscure finances, and those who participate in training are generally recruited as youths from childhood.

Moreover, we don't know how far the plot has progressed—whether the Galactic Tournament has ended, even if the Zodiac Temples War has finished; whether Yatianna has returned to Sanctuary; whether the Norse War and Sea Realm War have officially begun.

What's worst for Luode is that the Underworld Holy War has already ended; at that time Yatianna had fully awakened, and the Bronze Five Saints are each god‑slaying level beings; Luode really doesn't want to provoke this bunch of lunatics.

"Father-in-law, we first need to clarify the time here; you wait for me a moment." Luode said, then wanted to use a portal skill, but he now seems unable to mobilize his internal energy.

No choice; Luode could only run to the city on foot, but fortunately his running speed is already supersonic—after all, an ordinary Saint's punch is supersonic, so he should be able to crush the Silver Saints.

Soon Luode arrived at a nearby city, bought a newspaper, and learned that the Galactic Tournament had been suspended for some reason.

As for those reasons, from some newspaper gossip Luode also learned that someone had attacked the Galactic Tournament site and looted the prizes.

Afterwards the Kido Financial Group also announced the suspension of the Galactic Tournament, and this news was from half a month ago.

Damn, at this point the Zodiac Temples War must have already ended!

After confirming the current time point, Luode returned to Kaido's side.

"How's it going? Luode, do you have any plans? What should we do now?" Kaido asked.

"I've roughly understood the situation now; father‑in‑law, first enter my personal space and wait a while; the following matters, I will act alone." Next, Luode intends to play a big move.

"I understand; be careful, this world exudes a strange aura." Kaido nodded, and Luode sent him into the personal space; although he couldn't use the spark portal, his own innate spatial ability could indeed be used freely.

Once again in the city, Luode casually hailed a taxi and threw a gold coin at the driver.

"Take me to the residence of the Kido Financial Group's young lady." Luode said.

"Uh! Sir, is this a gold coin? I don't take gold coins, please! Do you have yen?" The driver said somewhat embarrassed.

"Is this guy some young master from a wealthy clan? He actually pays with gold coins."

"This is worth more than yen, or would you take US dollars?" Luode helplessly pulled out some dollars, which were previously sponsored by Iron Man in the Marvel world.

"I'll return the gold coin to you, sir; I'll just take the dollars. However, I need to remind you that the private estate of Miss Kido Saori is nearby—I can only drop you off in the vicinity; whether the security lets you in is uncertain." The driver handed back the gold coin, took a ten‑dollar bill, and started the car.

Half an hour later, the car dropped Luode off at a private estate, whose decoration was extremely luxurious, the surroundings also very beautiful, with shady green trees, artificial fountains, and a small lake.

On this Japanese land, owning such a huge estate shows just how wealthy the Kido Group is.

Although he couldn't emit energy, Luode's Observation Haki perception and miraculous spiritual sense could still detect some conditions inside the villa.

There are five superhuman auras here; however, in Luode's perception they don't seem particularly strong, and via Observation Haki he discovered these five are not the Bronze Five Saints but the Bronze Five Weak.

As for Kido Saori, Luode couldn't even sense her at all, merely faintly feeling a divine aura full of compassion and warmth.

While Luode was loitering at the gate, a boy wearing a Saint Cloth had already arrived at the entrance.

"You're the guest the young lady mentioned; she already knows you've come." The visitor wore a purple suit of armor and a helmet bearing a unicorn insignia.

"I'm sorry to intrude; I've come to pay respects to Yatianna." Luode said.

He could only faintly sense Yatianna's divine aura, whereas Kido Saori could clearly feel his arrival. It seems the gods of this world, the Greek pantheon of the Saint Seiya world, have combat power far surpassing that of the God of War world's Greek pantheon.

However, it's also possible that this world's Yatianna is simply too strong; the Yatianna of the Saint Seiya world is no weakling.

This Yatianna's true combat power is likely already at God King level, after all she's the sort who can stab the Underworld King to death with a single blow!

And by now Kido Saori has already awakened Yatianna's power, which means the Zodiac Temples War has already ended; the Bronze Five Saints should still be resting, while the Norse War is about to begin.

"Indeed! You'd better not have any ulterior motives; although the Star Loss aren't here, I can still protect Miss Shazhi." Xiewu looked at Luode and said.

"I came with good intentions to see Yatianna." Luode smiled and said.

I'm not interested in trash like you.

"Good, come with me!" After saying that, Xiewu brought Luode into the manor's interior, and the two quickly arrived at a small garden.

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen, with waist-length violet hair and a graceful figure, was watering the flowers.

The girl had exquisitely delicate features, smooth fair skin, and her whole body emanated a holy divine radiance.

At the moment he saw the girl, Luode clearly felt her powerful divine power, though her body was merely that of an ordinary girl.

In the Marvel world or the God of War world, I would be considered a god king, even surpassing that rank, but in the Saint Warrior world, I don't know how I'd be classified.

The most special thing about this world is the power of the small universe! "Xiewu! Thanks for your hard work, go attend to your own affairs—I don't need you here for now." Chenghu Shazhi put down the glue in her hand and revealed a charming smile as she said.

"Miss Shazhi! Please, please let me stay and protect you." Xiewu looked toward Chenghu Shazhi with a slightly flushed face.

"Thank you for your concern, Xiewu; this gentleman has no hostility, so you may leave in peace." Chenghu Shazhi said.

The young lady's smile is still so healing! At this moment, Xiewu was already dazed and his head was spinning.

"Yes! Miss Shazhi!" Xiewu nodded, stood up, and left the small garden.

However, before leaving, he still gave Luode a warning glance, as if saying, "You bastard, stay away from Miss Shazhi."

Because the young lady's lethality against mortals is still quite strong.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Luode. Should I address you as Goddess Yatianna or Miss Shazhi?" Luode asked.

"Mr. Luode, you are also a god; if you wish, you may call me Yatianna, or of course you may call me Miss Shazhi." Chenghu Shazhi smiled and said.

An unknown god, Chenghu Shazhi was also very curious about Luode's origins, and what she wondered most was why he lacked small universe power.

Theoretically, every god should naturally awaken this power upon birth!

Because it is the symbol of a god; if the small universe power is not awakened, then there is no corresponding divine power.

Yet this being before us is a genuine god, not a reincarnated form; he possesses a true god's body, and the level of his godly body is not inferior to that of main gods like the Underworld King Hadisi.

This greatly aroused the curiosity of Yatianna's reincarnation, Chenghu Shazhi.

"Miss Shazhi, I have come this time with a request: I ask you to help me awaken my small universe power; as for compensation, it is a gift you will surely love." Luode said.

"I agree! I'll help you awaken your small universe power; as for the reward, never mind—thanks for your kindness." Chenghu Shazhi smiled and said.

Helping an unknown god awaken his small universe power is not difficult for her; any god can do it.

Rather than seeking a generous reward, it would be better to let him owe her a favor.

A new round of the Holy War is about to begin; if a true god stands on our side, the benefits will definitely be enormous.

After all, this time she must face the Sea King alone, as well as the Underworld King, and even her heavenly father and her siblings.

Most importantly, she is also very curious: what kind of odd existence is this unknown god? Why, even though he already has a god's body of the highest god level, has he not awakened his small universe power?

"Would you like to see this reward first? It's quite special, especially for you." After saying that, Luode took out the god's body of Yatianna from the God of War world from his private space.

Luode could see that although Chenghu Shazhi's small universe power emanating from her body was stronger than his, her body was still mortal flesh.

Gods of the Saint Warrior world should have experienced a fierce battle in the mythic era, and many gods' bodies were destroyed, including Yatianna herself.

In the God of War world, the gods' combat strength is far inferior to that of the Saint Warrior world's gods, but this difference lies in the small universe power; as for their godly bodies, they are roughly equal.

And as Luode had expected, upon seeing this god's body, Yatianna's eyes widened in shock, and she even looked at him with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Is this a mistake? This, this is a god's body, and moreover, judging by divine power, Chenghu Shazhi feels that this is none other than the true god's body of her original self, Yatianna.

"This, this is! Impossible! My god's body should have been completely destroyed! No! This, this may look similar, but it is not my god's body." Chenghu Shazhi immediately sensed something was off, even though the divine aura was the same.

But the other's appearance is completely different from mine; I also have long purple hair, whereas this person has blond hair.

"This is Yatianna's god's body, but it is not yours."

"She comes from another universe?" Yatianna said.

"Exactly, I brought her from another world."

Luode's words left Chenghu Shazhi a bit at a loss; traversing another universe, or even making contact with another universe, is something only an absolute god can do!

"It seems you have many secrets! Wanting to go to another universe is something only an absolute god can accomplish!" Chenghu Shazhi said.

What is the concept of an absolute god? It is a power that surpasses the will of all gods and even the ultimate force; only a god capable of creating a universe is called an absolute god.

"How to put it? Just consider it a strange encounter!"

"I understand; I will not pry into your personal secrets, as long as you do not wish to destroy this world, there will be no conflict between us." Yatianna said.

"You can rest assured, Miss Shazhi, I have no interest in this land of yours." Luode said.

Not only am I not interested in destroying the land, I also want to help you deal with the Underworld King Hadisi! Even the Sea King Bosedong—if you don't mind, I can help you with him as well.

"All right! Then I won't stand on ceremony." After saying that, Yatianna came before the god's body provided by Luode.

A god's body differs from a mortal's; her mythic-era body has already been destroyed.

Therefore, she can only restore her divine soul through continual reincarnation, and then, via the small universe power, upgrade her mortal body, endlessly approaching a true god's body.

With this god's body, she has a chance to restore her true god's body from the mythic era. (End of chapter)
