Chapter 382

This remark immediately surprised all the Golden Saints present, who never expected that this god named Luode would actually have one of his subordinates become a Golden Saint!

"Lord Luode, please forgive my frankness, but the Golden Saints represent the highest honor of the Sanctuary, and are also the goddess's personal guards, the most loyal warriors. If they are loyal to you, the Golden Cloth will not acknowledge them," Tonghu said.

As an old antique who has lived over two hundred years, Tonghu knows many things: once one becomes a Saint, they are Athena's Saint for life, and it is impossible for someone loyal to another god to become Athena's Saint.

The other Golden Saints also nodded in agreement; wanting to become a Golden Saint is not merely a matter of strength.

At this moment, Saori Kido, seated on the goddess's throne, also fell into doubt: Luode, what do you mean by this?

Having one of your subordinates become your own Golden Saint! Given Luode's personality, he certainly would not simply give away his subordinates for nothing. Although their contact has been brief, Saori Kido is quite certain that Luode and he are of the same kind.

Moreover, Luode has just awakened his godly cosmos; although outwardly he claims to have known him for thousands of years and to have helped him restore his divine body,

the two are clearly aware that they have only known each other for less than a day, so Luode's subordinates should not be too strong.

Unless! Unless! It is someone possessing extraordinarily powerful physical constitution, even harboring divine power within their body, making their situation similar to Luode's.

Athena seemed to suddenly understand something: Luode has just become a being possessing a godly cosmos, entering the will of the gods.

Then he will certainly build his own warrior force, for the opponent's godly cosmos and the will of the gods are not inferior to hers, and may even surpass her.

In this situation, Athena's thoughts multiply: she merely helped him awaken his godly cosmos, and he gave her a precious divine body in return, and she also had him protect her.

Her contribution and the return she received are clearly disproportionate, and even saying it is protection for herself could lead to confrontation with the Sea Emperor and the Hades King, even her heavenly brothers, especially Apollo.

This situation clearly shows that the opponent's contribution far exceeds the return; unless she offers a greater stake, it is tantamount to pushing this god named Luode into opposition.

Pushing such a young and powerful god into opposition would have consequences too dreadful to imagine.

This young god wanting his subordinate to become a Golden Saint clearly indicates he has taken interest in the Golden Saints' training method and the Cloth's forging technique.

These things are not particularly precious; any existence of main god level can produce their own special armor and train their own unique warriors.

But for this newly ascended main god, these things are precisely what he lacks.

At this time, as the goddess Athena, I should act generously and give these things to him freely—this is the perfect solution.

However, in front of my subordinates, Athena cannot speak too explicitly, after all she must establish her dignity as goddess, and cannot let her Saints think that Athena, the Earth's guardian goddess, has fallen into a disadvantage.

A suitable method must be devised to impart the Saints' training method and even the Cloth's forging technique entirely to this Luode; Saori Kido's eyes rolled as she thought of a plan.

"My Saints! You need not do this; Luode helped me, to restore my divine body.

He has stayed in one place for over two thousand years, never leaving, and he has not even formed his own warrior force." Saori Kido slowly descended from her throne, approached Luode, and placed her small hand on his chest.

"What need is there to say so much between us? Let your warrior become the Gemini Saint! Even if only temporary, I will let the Golden Cloth acknowledge him as its master."

Seeing this, a group of Saints suddenly widened their eyes; the relationship between their goddess and this male god seems somewhat ambiguous! What is meant by "our relationship"? No need to say so much! And silently using their own divine power to repair the goddess's divine body for thousands of years, even without creating their own warrior force.

It appears the relationship between the two is indeed unusual, there is something between them; at this moment, all the Golden Saints, even the ordinary Saints, had this word arise in their minds.

Then they quickly shook their heads, casting this word out of their minds—impossible, impossible! How could the goddess I protect possibly fall in love with another male god? At this moment, Luode also felt somewhat speechless: Damn! Athena, saying this will cause misunderstanding, making me seem like your suitor.

"You may withdraw first! I and Luode have not met for a long time, and we have much to say." Saori Kido spoke.

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

"Also! Once Star Loss and the others have recovered from their injuries, let them wear the new Cloths and return to the Sanctuary immediately.

Tomorrow I will begin arranging some matters in the Sanctuary; as for the already resurrected Golden Saints, let them all return to their respective palaces, then familiarize themselves with the current Sanctuary." Saori Kido spoke.

Tonghu and Mu nodded, leading the remaining Golden Saints, all of them withdrawing from the goddess's hall.

After everyone had withdrawn from the hall, Saori Kido approached Luode and spoke: "Please forgive my impertinence, Lord Luode! I know what you want. The forging method of the Saint Cloths, and the training method of the Saints.

And the special combat techniques mastered by the Golden Saints, I can impart to you without reservation."

"In that case, thank you, Miss Saori." Luode spoke.

Luode indeed wanted the Golden Saints' special combat techniques, and the Saints' training method is also very suitable for those with powerful physiques, such as pirates or warriors from the World of Warcraft.

However, to awaken his own cosmos, he must still come to this world, and since the waters of this world are too deep, Luode temporarily does not plan to spread the power of the cosmos to all his subordinates.

"Lord Luode! Please follow me! All the Golden Saints' ultimate techniques, including the forging method of the Saint Cloths, are in the Pope's Astrology Tower." Athena spoke.

The two soon arrived at the Astrology Tower Athena mentioned; Athena took out the forging method of the Saint Cloths, the detailed training method of the Saints, and the full set of Golden combat techniques, and taught them all to Luode.

"What an incredible cultivation method! The inheritance of the Saints and the forging method of the Saint Cloths are very helpful to me, thank you, Miss Saori." Observing Athena's Saints' training method, Luode nodded in satisfaction.

Different from the training methods of sea warriors, underworld warriors, and even Norse god warriors, the Saints' training method is self-contained, which is the fundamental reason why the Saints can repeatedly defeat other god warriors.

The seventh sense of the cosmos, together with the corresponding kingly way of combat, enables the twelve Golden Saints to face any enemy except gods, and even some weak gods, the Golden Saints can handle.

"Miss Saori, I want to forge a set of armor for my own warriors; with the Saint Cloth forging method you provided and the Saints' training method, it will be very helpful to me." Luode spoke.

In the Saint world, becoming a main god-level existence, how could one not build an army of cosmos warriors for oneself?

"My Saint Cloth forging method is very special; in this era, if one wishes to imitate it, the difficulty is very great, even nearly impossible." Athena spoke.

My godly cosmos, from the very beginning of these Saint Cloths' birth, has already blessed them and acknowledged me as master; all the Saint Cloths, Athena is the first master, other warriors are second.

Wanting to forge Saint Cloth armor is still very difficult; for example, my Golden Cloth obtained the sun's power due to my brother Apollo's favor, becoming the Twelve Zodiac Palaces.

Having absorbed the sun's radiance and turned into golden armor, in terms of armor strength, the twelve Golden Cloths absolutely surpass all main god warriors' armor.

The scale armor of the Sea Emperor's Seven Generals, although also golden, is still inferior in strength to the Golden Cloths.

While Hades' one hundred and eight evil stars, the earth-shaped large underworld armor, is only comparable in strength to the Bronze Cloths, except that the protected area is larger than that covered by the Bronze Cloths.

And the Silver Cloths correspond to the heaven-shaped large underworld armor, even including the underworld armor of the three giants, whose strength is still inferior to the Golden Cloths.

Hades' underworld armor uses black gems from the underworld as material, then endowed by Hades with the power of the evil stars; the underworld warriors' flesh is merely a puppet of the underworld armor. While my Saint Cloth's material is star sand, mountain copper, also commonly known as orichalcum, and then generations of Saints have continuously used cosmos and their own blood to strengthen these Bronze Cloths and Silver Cloths.

As for the twelve Golden Cloths, they have been blessed by the sun's power; in terms of strength, only divine cloth, or divine underworld cloth, or divine scale cloth, surpasses the Golden Cloths.

But this requires the support of divine blood; and my Golden Cloth, as long as Athena is willing, and the Golden Saints' cosmos can reach the eighth sense,

then it can awaken into the Golden Divine Cloth; some weak gods can be eliminated by these Golden Saints.

Athena told Luode all these things.

"Mountain copper! That is, the stock of orichalcum has already been exhausted; this thing existed in the mythological age with some remnants, but in this era it cannot be found.

The Pamir Plateau should still have plenty of star sand, but for repairing Saint Cloths it is still usable; if mass-producing Saint Cloths, it is also insufficient." Athena spoke.

The materials of this era are indeed extremely scarce; even my having Chen Hu Guangzheng develop steel Saints, they are merely barely up to standard! "Actually, as for materials, I have them here; you should have noticed, right? The forging material of this armor of mine already contains orichalcum." Luode spoke.

"En! I also sense that there are several other very special materials, and even several extremely sacred flames." Athena nodded and spoke.

Luode's awakened divine armor, in terms of strength, is not much inferior to his own sacred garments.

Of course, his Victory Goddess Scepter and Athena's Shield are relatively special divine weapons; in terms of strength, they have even reached the level of sacred garments.

I wonder if Mr. Luode has any divine weapons of his own? Luode smiled upon hearing this, and took out two very special metals from his personal space.

First is the orichalcum from the Greek world; cultivating this material is actually not that difficult.

However, it does require the power of the Titan gods; the formation of orichalcum is actually due to some bodily fragments of the Titan race.

The Ten-Tails born in my personal space is equivalent to a Titan god; by using my own ancient Greek divine power, I can cut off some broken branches of the Ten-Tails to form orichalcum.

As for ordinary Titan iron, Luode can replicate a portion through his Devil Fruit ability; even white dwarf star metal, if Luode wishes, can be partially replicated, but forging white dwarf star metal is rather troublesome, and it possesses no divine power.

As for the Uru metal of the Aesir gods, Luode can also replicate a portion through his Devil Fruit ability; the only thing that cannot be replicated is super Titan metal, which requires the Titan soul power of someone like Sargeras to be forged.

Although obtaining the divine microcosm has multiplied my combat power, the essence of divine power has not changed significantly from before.

Therefore, this time Luode has brought out the orichalcum from the War God world, along with a portion of Titan iron.

The orichalcum shining with bronze luster and the deep blue Titan iron, upon appearing, instantly made Athena's eyes light up, and she then stroked both special metals.

This is indeed the highest-grade metal, and its conductivity for the microcosm should be very good.

The metal emitting a mysterious blue divine light is a type of metal she has never seen before, but the divine power contained within it is indeed very strong, and it also has excellent conductivity.

However, the other bronze-colored metal is very similar to the orichalcum she knows; it looks basically identical, but with a slight difference, which has made Athena very puzzled, as orichalcum should have already completely disappeared.

"Is this, is this orichalcum? It resembles the orichalcum I know, yet there is something slightly different, but I cannot pinpoint exactly where the difference lies." Shato Shaori asked.

"This is orichalcum from another world; I have a very large stock of this orichalcum, which can be used as material for sacred garments.

And this blue metal is called Titan iron; I intend to use these two metals mixed together to forge the battle armor material for my warriors." Luode said.

"A good idea, Mr. Luode; these two metals are fully qualified, and can even be said to be excellent.

Now what you lack is a craftsman to make the sacred garments; if you have no craftsman, I can only let Aries try." Shato Shaori said.

I wonder how the forging skill of this generation's Aries Saint Warrior is? To forge one's own warrior armor, an excellent craftsman is still needed.

Or perhaps, can Mr. Luode really summon the fire god Hephaestus from another world?

If he can truly summon the fire god, then these two materials can also be added to his own sacred garments to enhance their strength.

"As for the craftsman, there is naturally one, and very suitable—namely, the fire god Hephaestus from another world." Luode said.

At this moment, the importance of the fire god becomes evident; even if the fire god is too busy, Luode can still go to the Azeroth world and bring over the dwarves of Vidarn.

However, considering the forging speed of the fire god in the War God world, dozens of sacred garments would not require asking anyone else.

"Then there is no problem, Mr. Luode; you can hand over this data to the fire god of another world.

Then let him forge it; after forging is complete, you can use your own divine microcosm to bind these sacred garments, and then you can begin training your warriors." Yatianna said.

Indeed, it is the fire god from another world! Then, besides the fire god, are there any other divine races? Or is the fire god from another world also unawakened to his own divine microcosm?

"Miss Shaori! How long will it take you to fuse this divine body? After you finish fusing the divine body, I plan to begin forging the holy intent." Luode said.

As for the selection of warriors, Luode already has an idea in mind.

"To fully fuse this divine body will take approximately seven days." Shato Shaori said.

This is already the fastest possible speed; during this period, my Golden Saint Warriors must properly guard the Holy Domain.

"Well then, I will first bring over the person selected for the Gemini Golden Saint Warrior! By the way, I also trouble you, Miss Shaori, to help awaken his divine microcosm." Luode said.

Previously, Athena helped me awaken the microcosm, but Luode did not watch the entire process; instead, he wholeheartedly immersed himself in the awakening of the divine microcosm.

This time, Kaido awakening the microcosm, Luode intends to let him assist, and then himself observe the entire process, learn this awakening method, and then the two sun gods in his personal space, as well as the fire god and love god.

Even the future Azeroth, Sargeras, and others, can be helped by me to awaken their divine microcosm!

A flash of light passed, and the old father-in-law Kaido, wielding a wolf-tooth club, appeared in the goddess's great hall.

"Luode brat! Have you found a suitable training method?"

"Of course."

Seeing Kaido, Shato Shaori was startled, and then another god appeared, (end of chapter)
