Suddenly, the god whose body had been suppressed by the power of the Ocean Authority came to a realization, his pupils dilated in shock and disbelief.
"Oh? Looks like you finally figured it out." Poseidon paused slightly, speaking with a faint smile.
"Bastard! Aren't you afraid of inciting the wrath of the other gods by doing this?" The god roared in fury, his face turning pale.
Even though he shouted, he still felt a heavy, suffocating darkness looming over him.
This time, they likely wouldn't escape. Even though he was a Sovereign, it probably wouldn't matter. The Olympian Pantheon had prepared for this for far too long. There was no way they'd leave any room for escape.
"The wrath of the gods?" Poseidon's voice was calm. "They can only get angry… if they're still alive."
He took another step forward. The immense power of the Sea God swept out, engulfing the space. This was no time for talk.
Since battle had begun, he needed to eliminate this god quickly and seize his authority.
At the very moment Poseidon attacked, in the Underworld Realm, Hades also launched his assault.
"Boom! RUMBLE!!"
"Hades! You bastard, what are you doing?!"
"Stop---!"
"AAAAAHHH!"
In the skies:
"Zeus!"
"Damn it! Why are you here?!"
"BOOM!"
On the ground:
"Athena!"
"Sanctuary?!"
"Athena, with just your power, you want to devour us? Aren't you underestimating us far too much?!"
A terrifying Holy War had erupted and it had come suddenly and violently. King Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and the Goddess of Wisdom Athena all simultaneously launched a divine war against the powerful pantheons of the Earth.
This abrupt turn of events plunged the entire divine world into chaos.
Many Spiritual Gods had no time to react. And while they were still stunned, the Olympian Pantheon moved with astonishing speed.
Even the Twelve Olympian Sovereigns had all mobilized.
Earlier, many gods had exhausted themselves supporting Hades, Poseidon, and Athena. They'd suffered great losses and were completely unprepared for betrayal. As a result, in less than a few short years, over ten pantheons were completely destroyed by the Olympians.
By the time the rest of the divine world realized what was happening,
It was already too late. The Olympian Pantheon, having expanded over a long period, had now reached a terrifying level of strength.
They were no longer an opponent anyone could handle. In fact, not even all the other pantheons combined could stand against them anymore.
Faced with this reality, some pantheons continued to resist while others began to voluntarily surrender their divine authorities and flee into the stars.
And thus, the balance of power across the Earth quietly shifted. The Olympian Pantheon had gradually begun to dominate the entire world.
The most direct indication of this was The Sanctuary, which was once located on the outer edge of the world, and now stood at the very center of the Earth.
And within Sanctuary itself, the once sparse and modest population had been entirely transformed. In the beginning, Sanctuary had no more than ten thousand residents at most.
But now, in just a few short years, the population had exceeded one hundred thousand, and that didn't even include the surrounding towns. If those were counted, the number would be even more staggering.
And with such a vast population, it was only natural that countless powerful Saints had emerged.
Especially during the recent divine wars, the Saints had undergone a complete generational shift.
Even among the Gold Saints, many had been replaced during the war. In some cases, multiple replacements occurred one after another for a single position.
After all, while Athena herself was powerful, Sanctuary's overall strength was only average, even after establishing the 88 Galaxies of Athens. Without that, Sanctuary's power would have ranked among the lowest of the Sovereign factions.
And in the repeated divine wars, the casualties had naturally been significant. But clearly, none of this had anything to do with Jiang Chen. As time passed, the end of his second login to the Saint Seiya world was drawing near.
At the same time, his Cosmo had made incredible progress during this period.
Having broken through to the Eighth Sense, combined with Athena's blood and the gathering of Earth Authority within Sanctuary, his cultivation speed had far exceeded anything he'd experienced before.
In this short period, his mastery of the Eighth Sense had already reached its limits.
Though it only seemed like the limit and hadn't actually hit the ceiling, reaching this stage was already unimaginable. Because once one broke into the Eighth Sense, how far one could go was no longer something quantifiable.
To awaken the Sacred Cloth's divine power, one needed not only the cloth and Athena's blood, but an infinite Cosmo.
Yet no one knew what level this so-called "infinite" Cosmo truly entailed.
Not even Jiang Chen, a transmigrator, had a clear answer to this.
All he could do was train step by step. He just hadn't expected that his Eighth Sense would gradually perfect itself during this process.
"Hoo…"
Inside his room, Jiang Chen slowly exhaled a deep breath, and his eyes gradually opened. At that moment, a majestic aura surged from his body. Behind him, stars lit up one by one, gradually converging into a massive constellation. These constellations intertwined and soon formed a vast celestial space.
If any Saint had been present, they would've been utterly shocked. Because the massive Cosmo radiating from Jiang Chen's body at this moment was far beyond the Seventh Sense.
And not just beyond the Seventh, even the Eighth Sense itself paled in comparison. It was a level of Cosmo that would leave even Gold Saints of this era trembling in awe. It had already transcended everything, and at the same time, stood above all things.
"Omega… The Great Universe… What kind of power is worthy of being called the Power of the Great Universe?" Jiang Chen muttered to himself, his expression gradually slipping into deep contemplation.
In his mind, fragments of knowledge from his past life about Saint Seiya Omega were gradually resurfacing.
But clearly, even though Jiang Chen had watched all the original Saint Seiya series, his understanding of Omega was still limited.
The original work merely described Omega as a realm never reached by any Saint in history, far surpassing the Seventh Sense, and as a power beyond the ultimate, a final form of strength.
Even the highest-ranking warriors among the Pallasites, the First-Class Four Heavenly Kings, could not reach it. Omega was described as the super-inflation preceding the Big Bang, the power capable of birthing the Universe itself, the Great Universe.
Aside from that, there wasn't much else elaborated. Even how characters like Kouga and others broke through to the Omega level was never clearly explained.
In Episode 83, Ryuhou unleashed what seemed to be the prototype of Omega while facing the strongest Second-Class Pallasite, Rhea, with a single punch, he destroyed all of Rhea's puppets, rendering him hopeless.
In Episode 86, when Kouga's group faced Gaul, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, they released just the tip of Omega's iceberg and succeeded in defeating him.
By Episode 89, while battling Hyperion, another of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kouga and the others awakened true Omega. Their shattered Cloths evolved into Omega Cloths under the light of the Great Universe, allowing them to defeat Hyperion.
Finally, at the end of Episode 96, Kouga, having received the Cosmo of all Saints (including the Titans and Pallasites), awakened the Super Omega Cloth, granting him power capable of directly contending with Saturn. This was the first time in the Saint Seiya series where a human could engage in direct combat with a Sovereign's true form. Even Saturn acknowledged Kouga as his equal, admitting that Omega is a power without limits.
But as for how to awaken Omega, that was never mentioned.
This was very different from the Eighth Sense, which had a clearly defined awakening process in the original story.
