Chapter 161 - 81: Blood of the Goddess, Olympus! (Part 1)

Chapter 161: Chapter 81: Blood of the Goddess, Olympus! (Part 1)

The golden pillar of light inside the Pope’s Chamber continued to swirl around the dome. Alex looked at the Scepter of Nike in Saori Kido’s hand, his gaze flickering slightly.

Thinking she could just send him away from the Sanctuary like this? That was a bit too naive.

His gaze flickered as he took a step forward, his white cape swaying gently in the air.

"Goddess, the Titan race is an ancient divine race with formidable strength, and countless of their descendants are lying dormant in the world. If I go alone, I fear my lack of ability might ruin this important matter. I implore you to dispatch Aiolia and Shaka to accompany me, so we can look out for one another."

Hearing this, the amber pupils of Aiolia, who was standing to the side, instantly lit up. The knuckles of his clenched fists turned white, and even his breathing hastened slightly.

If he could investigate alongside Alex and Shaka, it would not only be an honor for him but also a prime opportunity to improve his strength.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Alex subtly shake his head. The look in his eyes signaling him to stay calm and be patient forced Aiolia to swallow his words.

Shaka also slowly raised his head, his long eyelashes trembling slightly beneath his closed eyes.

Sensing the deeper meaning in Alex’s words, the corners of his mouth curled into an almost imperceptible smile. As the man closest to god, he naturally understood Alex’s true motive for wanting to bring him along.

Saori smiled and shook her head.

"I have other tasks for those two. Alex, I believe in your abilities. You were even able to suppress the Ophiuchus Saint, Asclepius... a Titan race will be of no issue to you."

Alex said in a deep voice, "Goddess, my personal safety is a small matter, but if it results in irreversible consequences and the Titan race returns to the earth, I fear it will affect the impending Holy War!"

Alex’s subtext was obvious: If you don’t give me some benefits, there’s no way I’m going.

Saori Kido stared at Alex for a moment. She took out a crystal vial containing a red liquid that rippled slightly.

"At a critical moment, smear the liquid in this vial onto your Cloth; it will lend you a helping hand!"

The corners of Alex’s mouth curled up slightly, his gaze flickering. ’Is she bringing out the Goddess’s Blood this early?’

Athena’s Blood was truly a good item. It could evolve a Saint’s Cloth into a Divine Cloth, albeit with a time limit.

But the evolved Cloth could drastically enhance one’s Cosmo and defensive power, instantly multiplying a Saint’s abilities by tens or hundreds of times!

The crystal vial left Saori’s palm and defied gravity, slowly drifting toward Alex.

Alex reached out and caught it. Instantly, item attributes popped up before his eyes.

[Goddess’s Blood (Divine Blood of Athena), Single-Use Consumable Divine Artifact]

[Core Effects]

[One: Cloth Awakening]

[Applies to Bronze/Silver/Gold Cloths]

[Upon dripping, it instantly evolves the Cloth into its Divine Cloth form. The Divine Cloth form lasts for 24 hours.]

[Two: Repair Damaged Cloth]

[Regardless of the extent of the damage (excluding complete physical annihilation), the divine blood can fully repair the Cloth within 3 seconds, granting an additional 24-hour Eternal Radiance effect (immunity to conventional physical damage).]

[Extracted from the divine blood of Athena’s reincarnation, every drop condenses the Goddess’s will to protect the earth. It is only produced when the Goddess willingly sacrifices it during the advent of a Holy War or when the world is on the brink of collapse!]

[Reincarnation Space Price: 10 Million Credit Points!]

Very powerful... At this moment, Alex felt that leaving Saori Kido alive was an incredibly correct decision. Even just acting as an oversized health potion, Saori Kido was well worth her value.

Alex stowed the crystal vial away and said lightly, "I am willing to go! However, when I slew the Hydra back then, I didn’t notice any anomalies. I kindly ask the Goddess to point me in the direction of the investigation!"

Athena’s red lips parted slightly as she spat out a few words. "The Abyss of Tartarus!"

Alex nodded slightly and turned to leave. He had once seen this place mentioned in the Sanctuary’s ancient texts...

The crowd present stared at Alex’s fluttering white cape. It wasn’t until Alex left that everyone finally felt a weight lift from their hearts.

Since an unknown point in time, Alex’s existence had become capable of standing as an equal against Goddess Athena.

Sensing Alex’s Cosmo leave the Sanctuary, Saori Kido smiled faintly, her eyes returning to the lively and cheerful spirit of a young girl.

"Seiya, Hyoga, Ikki, Shun, Shiryu—you guys come back to Tokyo with me. We’re going to attend a banquet, as a token of my gratitude for you risking your lives to save me this time!"
