Ophiuchus Gold Cloth (Second Update)

If Turtle Hermit can push the moon away with the Kamehameha, then it would be a piece of cake for him to go into space and move those planets one by one.

Even with Hades' divine power to stop him, he believed that Combat Power went all out, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

After all, Hades' influence is from a distance, while Hades unleashes his full power in close combat.

Besides, Athena is no pushover. She may not be able to use her divine power to move the Planetary Alignment, but she can certainly interfere with Hades' actions without being able to stop him.

"Okay, I agree to your terms."

Athena agreed to Hawking's conditions without much hesitation.

If Hawking hadn't explained why, she might have hesitated further.

However, Hawking was also improving himself in order to save humanity in his own world. Since Hawking helped this world, she should also give something in return and help Hawking's world.

Fortunately, there is still one spare Gold Cloth in the Twelve Gold Palaces.

She waved the Athena's Scepter in her hand, and the Sagittarius Gold Cloth in the Sagittarius Palace immediately responded to Athena's call and flew into the hall.

However, Hawking glanced at the Sagittarius Gold Cloth and shook his head.

"What I want is not this Gold Cloth, and its owner is still alive."

He opened the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan his brows and activated the Rinne Rebirth. A figure materialized in the hall, and the Sagittarius Gold Cloth automatically donned his body.

"Older Brother!"

Upon seeing the figure appear in the main hall, Leo Gold Saint Aiolia instantly lost his composure.

Because the figure was none other than his Older Brother Aiolos, who had been dead for many years.

After Aiolos died, his strong desire to protect Athena prevented his soul from being reincarnated in the Underworld. Instead, it was attached to the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.

He later used his Gold Cloth on several occasions to help Seiya and the others overcome crises.

It was only after Hawking discovered that Aiolos's soul was still on the Sagittarius Gold Cloth that he was able to revive him using the Rinne Rebirth.

Reviving another Gold Saint would increase his chances of winning against Hades, especially since it was a Sagittarius, who was among the strongest. Moreover, he could learn another Gold Saint's special move, so of course he was willing to do it.

"Thank you for reviving Aiolos, but all the Gold Cloth already have owners."

Athena and all the Saints were delighted by Aiolos's resurrection, but now that all the Gold Cloth had their own masters, she couldn't very well ask any Gold Saint to take off their Cloth and give it to Hawking.

"You resurrected my Older Brother. If you need, I can give you my Saint Cloth."

Before Athena could finish speaking, an excited Aiolia interrupted.

However, Hawking shook his head again:

"What I want is not the Leo Gold Cloth. Don't worry, the one I want doesn't have an owner yet. It's buried beneath the Scorpio Palace and Sagittarius Palace in the Sanctuary."

"???"

Athena and all the other Saints looked bewildered, but Shion's expression changed.

Clearly, he already knew which Gold Cloth Hawking wanted.

"What I want is the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth!"

As Hawking spoke, everyone looked at each other in surprise, especially Ophiuchus Silver Saint Shaina, who stood there dumbfounded.

She stepped forward and explained to Hawking:

"Mr. Hawking, are you mistaken? The Sanctuary does not have the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, only the Ophiuchus Silver Cloth."

"Oh, then we'll have to ask His Holiness the Pope if that's the case?"

Having already gleaned some memories from Shion's diverging thoughts, Hawking turned and looked at Shion with a half-smile.

Athena also looked at Shion at the same time:

"Shion, is the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth really real?"

She doesn't have the memories of previous Athena human incarnations, so she doesn't know how to unlock her own Cloth, and naturally, she doesn't know anything about the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth.

Shion was silent for two seconds, then sighed and nodded:

"The Sanctuary does indeed seal the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth; I learned this from the previous Pope."

Next, Shion told the story of the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth.

It turns out that in the mythological era, there were not twelve Gold Saint, but thirteen. The Twelve Gold Palaces in the Sanctuary were actually thirteen.

The Ophiuchus Temple is located between the Scorpio and Sagittarius Temples. The guardian Saint of the Ophiuchus Temple is Asclepius, the most benevolent, wise, brave, and strongest of the thirteen Gold Saints of the Sanctuary.

Athena's ability to defeat Poseidon in the age of mythology, destroy his physical body, win the Holy War, and overpower all the gods to protect the earth owes much to Asclepius, the Saint of Ophiuchus.

Asclepius's identity was naturally extraordinary. He was the son of Sun God Apollo, and Princess Coronis of Thessaly, making him Athena's nephew and possessing demigod blood.

His noble conduct led him to heal all the wounded with his medical skills, redeeming people from illness and even bringing them back to life. Unbeknownst to many, he was called a god by the world.

Over time, Ophiuchus came to believe he was on par with the gods, but when he actually attempted to go further from being human to becoming a god, this act of God of War the authority of the gods angered them.

Hades, in particular, was offended because Asclepius resurrect had violated his divine authority.

Therefore, Athena had no choice but to Asclepius, after his trial, in the Tartarus Prison, and to sink the Ophiuchus Palace, along with the most powerful Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, into the earth for sealing.

From then on, there was no longer Ophiuchus Gold Saint in the Sanctuary, only a newly created Silver Saint of Ophiuchus.

"The reappearance of the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth may displease the gods, and even if we defeat Hades, it will still be a troublesome matter."

"Your Pope need not worry about this. The gods are dissatisfied with Asclepius, who wanted to transcend from a human to a god, not with his Gold Cloth. So, simply removing the seal on the Gold Cloth should not be a problem."

Besides, even if there's a problem, you can just pin the blame on me.

Hawking is not afraid of the gods, although he is certainly no match for them now, especially Apollo who lives in the heavens. But if he can't beat them, he simply won't come to this world.

Having obtained the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, comparable to a god-level God Cloth, if the gods were to kill him, he would immediately end his Dreamwalking and return to Marvel Universe through the Ancestor Space.

Can these gods possibly catch up with Marvel Universe?

Besides, apart from Apollo and the vanished Zeus, he wasn't afraid of any of the other gods in a one-on-one fight.

"Stopping Hades' Eclipse Plan and winning this Holy War to save humanity is the most important thing. We can consider other things later."

"Shion, take me to retrieve the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth immediately!"

Upon hearing Hawking's answer, Athena no longer hesitated and directly gave the order to Shion.
