Saint Seiya: The Multiverse Libra Gold Saint

The group arrived at the Pope's Chamber.

Saga, Shion, and Aries Avenir were already waiting.

"Everyone should be aware of the situation."

"How should the Sanctuary respond to this crisis?"

Saga looked at everyone present.

This was the Sanctuary's entire leadership.

The only warriors surpassing the Seventh Sense.

"Are there any relics or talismans imbued with Athena's divine blood left in the Sanctuary?"

Kaiser asked first.

"There are, and quite a few."

"Athena prepared extensively."

"She likely planned to perish alongside Hades and the Twin Gods before the Holy War."

"So she left the Sanctuary with significant resources."

"That makes things easier."

"Give me a set of relics and talismans."

"With divine blood and divinity, I'm now a demigod."

"Ordinary third-tier gods are no match for me."

With a clang, Kaiser removed his Libra Golden Cloth.

"I'll entrust the Libra Golden Cloth to you, Teacher."

"I'll wear the spare Aries Golden Cloth instead."

"While training at the Star Observatory, I learned techniques from other constellations."

"It won't affect me much."

"Krestor, you can take one of the Gold Saints with you."

"The Aquarius Golden Cloth is currently unclaimed."

"Three of us will roam the earth."

"The Sanctuary is in your and Teacher's hands."

"With Athena's barrier, third-tier gods won't dare invade."

"With you, Teacher, and the talismans and relics, even second-tier gods can't bring the Sanctuary down."

Kaiser looked at the remaining Gold Saints.

"You're that confident in your strength?"

Itia looked at his disciple in surprise.

He had even given up the Libra Golden Cloth.

"Teacher, with the blessing of divine blood and divinity, my body is already that of a demigod."

"Even if my limbs are severed or my body cut in half, as long as I have a breath left, I won't die."

"The Cloth is just a bonus for me."

"I wear it only as a precaution."

Kaiser shook his head, explaining his current state.

"I also received divine blood, but why aren't I as strong as you?"

Krestor was curious.

He, too, bore divine blood.

Having lived over two hundred years.

Yet his body showed no signs of becoming divine.

"Maybe it's the divinity."

"But your body should be enhanced as well, Krestor."

"Your lifespan has extended significantly."

"We're the most reliable for roaming the earth."

"With Athena's relics and talismans, we can even face second-tier gods."

"The Sanctuary is our stronghold; it must not fall."

Kaiser suspected Krestor's divine blood was slowly losing its divinity.

After all, he was a reincarnated body, not the original.

In Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Wyvern Rhadamanthys, with divine blood, survived having his heart shattered by Leo Regulus and still sought out Aaron.

He didn't die immediately.

This showed the power of divine blood.

Aaron, Hades' reincarnated vessel, had said that with his blood, Rhadamanthys was a god.

But in that state, Rhadamanthys was more like a demigod.

His power didn't even reach the Eighth Sense.

At best, it was peak Seventh Sense with a demigod body.

That's why he seemed so formidable.

In Atlantis, Scorpio Kardia's Antares pierced Rhadamanthys' heart.

Without Hades' divine blood, he would have died instantly.

"That's a reasonable division of strength."

"But are you acting alone?"

Saga and Shion looked at Kaiser.

He was the Sanctuary's final trump card.

"Correct."

"With my current strength, plus Athena's blood-imbued relics and talismans, even if the Twin Gods were revived, I could seal them."

"I don't need anyone with me."

"After this meeting, I'll head straight to Asgard."

"I need to resolve the issue of the Norse queen's control."

"The evil gods on earth, I'll leave to you, Krestor."

Kaiser affirmed he would act alone.

Krestor, also a bearer of divine blood.

Perhaps in the first Holy War, he wasn't Itia's match.

But once Krestor mastered Absolute Zero, he became the undisputed strongest below the gods.

Though before The Lost Canvas Holy War, Krestor turned to darkness due to endless battles.

His strength was undeniably formidable.

Having fought multiple gods and survived to this day.

"I understand."

Krestor nodded solemnly.

The Sanctuary's current situation demanded caution.

"Then it's settled."

Kaiser nodded to the group.

Compared to Saga, Kaiser clearly commanded greater trust.

His strength was simply too overwhelming.

"Kaiser, be careful."

"You're the Sanctuary's trump card for the next Holy War."

Saga and Shion said to Kaiser.

"Don't worry."

"I'll be fine."

Kaiser smiled faintly.

He was still waiting to harness the God-Slaying Power two hundred years from now.

Of course, Kaiser's greatest confidence lay in Athena.

Unknown to others, Athena's divine soul was not dormant.

Even her divine body remained intact.

Even if Poseidon, the Sea King, were to awaken, he could never defeat Kaiser with Athena's blessing.

After arranging everything, Kaiser took the Aries Golden Cloth's Cloth Card and left the Sanctuary.

This time, he departed silently.

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

"The situation in Asgard doesn't feel peaceful."

"The Norse evil gods are stirring as well."

"It's hard to say if they've struck some deal with the sea realm."

Saga's face was filled with worry.

Krestor, accompanied by Gemini's Phoebe, set out to roam the earth.

Itia and the remaining Gold Saints stayed to guard the Sanctuary.

They would also serve as reinforcements.

Though the earth was vast, for Gold Saints outside the Sanctuary, traveling anywhere was a matter of moments.

"Is this the northern ice plains?"

"So desolate."

Kaiser gazed at the thousand-mile icefield before him.

In truth, Krestor would have been better suited to handle this, as such an environment would amplify his strength.

But Krestor's presence would be futile.

He couldn't resolve the issue of the Nibelung Ring.

Only a god could handle that relic.

With Athena by his side, Kaiser was the best candidate.

"Is that Asgard?"

"I didn't expect so many people to live in this frozen wasteland."

Kaiser sensed the presence of Asgard.

Asgard was a massive city.

Home to tens of thousands of inhabitants.

All devout followers of the Norse gods.

The Norse queen, Odin's representative, was responsible for leading Asgard and delivering Odin's oracles.

"Hm?"

As Kaiser was about to enter Asgard, he sensed a Seventh Sense Cosmo.

"Who are you?"

The figure was the Dubhe God Warrior, tasked with patrolling Asgard during this time.

"Libra Gold Saint of the Sanctuary, Kaiser."

"I'm here at Siegfried's invitation to meet him, the Merak God Warrior."

Kaiser stated his purpose.

According to Siegfried, the Norse God Warriors were unaware of the queen's control.

Thus, relations with the Sanctuary remained amicable.

As expected, upon hearing Kaiser's identity, the Dubhe God Warrior relaxed.

"I know you... the one who defeated the divine beast Hydra."

"Please wait; I'll consult Her Majesty."

The Dubhe God Warrior was courteous.

Kaiser was in no rush.

Within ten seconds, the Dubhe God Warrior invited Kaiser to enter the city with him.

"Oh?"

The moment Kaiser stepped into the city, he was surprised.

Asgard's interior wasn't as cold as expected.

Though the outside was a frozen, snow-covered expanse, the outdoor temperature inside was maintained between ten and twenty degrees Celsius.

A comfortable range for human life.

Moreover, Asgard was vast, with ample resources.

It was entirely self-sufficient.

"No wonder they've thrived in this icefield for so long."

Seeing this, Kaiser wasn't surprised anymore.

This differed from what was shown in the classic Saint Seiya era.

Following the main path, Kaiser soon saw the inner city at the center.

"This is as far as I go."

"I have patrol duties."

"Lord Siegfried is waiting for you in the inner city."

The Dubhe God Warrior said politely.

Then he turned and left.

With a creak, the inner city gates opened, and Kaiser stepped inside.

"I didn't expect the Sanctuary to send you."

Siegfried looked at Kaiser, visibly relieved.

Clearly, the Sanctuary valued his intelligence enough to send Kaiser.

His strength was among the earth's greatest.

"No time for idle talk. Let me see the Norse queen."

"I need to assess the Nibelung Ring first."

Kaiser wanted to examine the ring immediately.

"Alright!"

Siegfried didn't waste words.

He was even more anxious than Kaiser.

"The sea realm's Sea Dragon said only a god can resolve the Nibelung Ring."

"Are you confident?"

Siegfried walked beside Kaiser, his voice tinged with worry.

She was their queen, after all.

"Don't worry. I won't act without absolute certainty."

"I've brought relics and talismans imbued with Athena's divine blood."

"Even if I can't fully neutralize the Nibelung Ring, I can suppress its effects with the talismans."

"But I need to see it first to know the details."

Kaiser responded.

During their conversation, they arrived at a room's entrance.

Siegfried gently pushed the door open.

A stunning woman with silver hair, dressed in a light-colored gown, sat on a balcony by the window, quietly reading a book.

"You seem better than I expected."

"Poseidon hasn't forced any commands on you."

Kaiser was surprised to see the Norse queen appearing unaffected.

"The sea realm isn't foolish."

"They only want Asgard to stand by."

"Not to make an enemy of us."

"If I realized I was being controlled, I'd end my life immediately."

"Their plans would fail."

"Then it would be a Holy War between Asgard and the sea realm."

"And we might not lose."

The Norse queen closed her book.

Though her words were calm, Kaiser sensed the anger within.

After all, no one would be pleased to have their life threatened without reason.

"May I see the Nibelung Ring?"

Kaiser spoke up.

"Here."

The Norse queen extended her slender finger.

Living long in the ice plains, her skin was pale, almost translucent, perfectly smooth.

On her finger was a ring that clashed entirely with her style.

"It's indeed the Nibelung Ring, radiating a powerful Cosmo."

"It must have been awakened recently."

"This is tricky."

Siegfried, hearing Kaiser's words, grew anxious. "Is there no way to deal with it?"

The queen's life was at stake; he couldn't remain calm.

Especially since it happened under his watch.

"Don't worry, it's not as grave as you think."

"It can be handled."

"Just not right now."

"The sea realm thinks the queen is under the Nibelung Ring's control, so Asgard is no longer a concern for them."

"Let's give the sea realm a surprise."

Though the Nibelung Ring was formidable, Kaiser didn't see it as unsolvable.

Even without contacting Athena, he had ways to deal with the ring.

However, the relics and talismans from the Sanctuary might be damaged in the process.

"Really?"

Siegfried's voice carried excitement.

"Of course. I never lie."

"But removing the ring now would alert the sea realm."

"Right now, we're in the open, and the enemy is in the shadows."

"Asgard can serve as an unexpected force."

"With powerful Cosmos stirring on the earth and in the deep sea, we don't know how many evil gods or divine beasts the sea realm has allied with."

"Asgard's role is to hold back the Seven Generals of the sea realm."

"Leave the rest to the Sanctuary."

Kaiser said to Siegfried.

"Perfect. That suits me just fine."

Siegfried gave a cold smile.

He was determined to settle this score.

"Then I'll trouble you to stay in Asgard for a while."

The Norse queen, hearing this, relaxed.

They had Kaiser's profile.

A warrior at the pinnacle of the earth.

Such a person wouldn't stoop to deception.

Moreover, if anything happened to the Norse queen, it would strain relations between the Sanctuary and Asgard.

An act with no benefit, so the queen didn't believe Kaiser would deceive them.

"Your seven Norse God Warriors."

"How strong are they?"

Leaving the queen's room, Kaiser asked.

Siegfried's strength was impressive, reaching the late Seventh Sense Cosmo.

The Dubhe God Warrior he'd seen earlier was at mid-Seventh Sense.

"Not comparable to the Sanctuary."

"Besides me, there are two other mid-Seventh Sense God Warriors."

"The rest are all early Seventh Sense."

"The Seven Generals of the sea realm are about on par with Asgard."

"With Poseidon long dormant, the sea realm's strength has waned."

"Even the Sea Dragon, said to be the strongest of the Seven Generals, is only at late Seventh Sense."

Siegfried shook his head.

With such strength, they dared to challenge the Sanctuary.

If not for the powerful Cosmos stirring in the deep sea, Siegfried would think the sea realm had lost its mind.

"I see."

Kaiser nodded.

This matched what he knew.

In the Poseidon arc of the classic Saint Seiya, the Seven Generals' strength was average.

Likely just entering the Seventh Sense.

"So, those two powerful Cosmos…"

"They're not from the sea realm?"

"Who could they be?"

Kaiser looked toward the deep sea.

Massive Cosmos pulsed there.

At least Eighth Sense level.

And extremely volatile.

As if devoid of reason.

"I hope they don't disappoint me."

Following Siegfried, Kaiser arrived at his resting quarters.

"Kaiser…"

A familiar voice called out.

Athena's voice echoed from a distant realm.
