Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

The Eternal Spear was no stranger to Jalong.

In the previous anime, this was a divine artifact born from the World Tree, possessing the power of ending all things. It was even mentioned in Athena's "Scroll of the Gods." Both the Spear of Eternity and the Sword of Belmont were treasures that shone brightly during Ragnarok.

It is said that Odin was killed by the Spear of Eternity.

In essence, Ragnarok is a conflict between the descendants of two Titans.

In mythological times, the Ice Realm was inhabited by two Titans: the Ice Titan and the Fire Titan, also known as the Frost Giant and the Fire Giant.

The son of the ice titan was named Odin, and the son of the fire titan was named Loki. These two divine sons swore a blood oath and became sworn brothers.

Later, Odin's career took off, and he founded the Aesir. Loki also joined him. The two led the Aesir in their battles against the heavens and the earth, and their power once threatened the Olympian gods.

So Zeus, the king of the gods at the time, sent a beautiful goddess to sow discord between Odin and Loki.

This goddess is the Valkyrie Hilda.

She shares the same name as the princess of the Asa clan opposite Jia Long.

As Zeus had predicted, Odin and Loki both fell in love with the Valkyrie. Like brothers who are like limbs, and women like clothes, the two became enemies because of the Valkyrie.

So Odin, the king of the Aesir, banished Loki.

Loki then turned around and led the descendants of the Fire Titans to fight against the Aesir.

This battle is Ragnarok!

finally……

Loki died from the sword Belmont, the divine weapon he personally gave to Odin when they became sworn brothers.

Odin, on the other hand, died from the Spear of Eternity, the divine weapon he personally gave to Loki when they became sworn brothers.

The other Aesir gods were also almost completely wiped out.

Only the Valkyrie survived.

Then, this Valkyrie led the remaining members of the Aesir to settle in the Ice Realm, where she declared herself Queen of the Gods. She also built a large harem, taking in almost all the handsome men of the Aesir, and procreated until the end of the mythological era...

Countless eras have passed since then.

This farce of brothers turning against each other has long been buried in the dust of history.

Even the history books of the Assa people may have been altered.

In short, when people mention the Aesir gods today, all they think of is the legendary Ragnarok and the two divine artifacts that shone brightly in that great war.

If it weren't for Athena's own writing of the "Scroll of the Gods," Jaron would never have known the truth about Ragnarok.

The Book of the Gods mentions that the Spear of Eternity was an artifact born from the World Tree. After killing Odin, it returned to the World Tree, which had been destroyed by the descendants of the Titans of Fire.

Therefore, the whereabouts of this divine spear have remained a mystery.

Now, according to Hilda, the Spear of Eternity is connected to the Ring of the Nibelung.

Does the World Tree, from which the Eternal Spear was born, still exist?

Or are there seeds left in The Lord of the Rings?

Yes, very likely!

After all, in the previous animated series, Andreas, who was possessed by Loki's remnant soul, resurrected the World Tree, which means that the World Tree really did have seeds left behind, capable of nurturing and giving birth to the Spear of Eternity once again.

If this divine spear falls into Hilda's hands, it will be an absolute super threat to the Sanctuary!

His eyes flickered.

Jia Long's previously uninterested expression changed, and he solemnly said to Hilda, "Your Highness Hilda, if you can obtain the Eternal Spear, I, Hailong, can represent the Sea Realm in forming an alliance with the Aesir, and we can join hands..."

After saying that, Jia Long stretched out his slender hand and grasped Hilda's outstretched, fair hand.

"Join forces against the Holy Land!"

The two made a vow together.

After swearing an oath of blood and a high five, Hilda's cold face finally showed a hint of a smile after the alliance was established.

“General, our alliance is secret. We must not let the Holy Land know about this. Before the Holy War begins, our Asar race still needs to play along with them!”

"I understand, after all, you are still nominally allies."

"What ally? The Holy Domain has always considered itself the guardian of the earth, high and mighty, and has never taken our Ice Domain seriously. Some time ago, that Aiolos came to the Ice Domain. I originally wanted to marry my sister Freya to him, but he coldly refused. Humph, he doesn't even respect the princess of the Ice Domain!"

"Perhaps that walking dogma is simply clueless about romance..."

"?!"

Hilda looked at Jalong with surprise: "Judging from what the general said, it seems that he knows a lot about Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos?"

"cough……"

Upon hearing this, Jia Long coughed lightly: "Of course, since the age of mythology, the Holy Realm has always been a great enemy of our Sea Realm. For us, knowing ourselves and our enemy is the key to winning every battle."

"So the general had long intended to oppose the Holy Domain."

Hilda then realized, her gaze sweeping over the magnificent hall and the charming Didys, and said frankly:

"I originally thought the general was a pleasure-seeking person with no great ambitions, but it turns out that this was just a facade. It seems that allying with the general was the best decision I, Hilda, ever made!"

"That's not necessarily true. You might regret it someday."

"The general really loves to joke."

"Ha~"

……

On that day, Jaron hosted a lavish banquet for Hilda.

Afterwards, the two dismissed everyone else and secretly discussed the matter of confronting the Holy Land.

Since the two sides are in a secret alliance, their biggest cooperation now is intelligence sharing.

Jalong provided Hilda with information about the twelve Gold Saints, including their personalities, characteristics, and even their daily habits, in great detail. Hilda listened with wide eyes and began to value Jalong as an ally even more.

This Sea Dragon speaks of the Gold Saints with such familiarity, as if he had lived in the Sanctuary himself. It seems he has long harbored ambitions for the Sanctuary, and his intentions are far from small!

Hilda likes ambitious allies!

Moreover, the intelligence provided by this ally was extremely detailed, much of which was unknown even to her, a ally of the Holy Realm. This information from the Sea Realm was clearly hard-won, yet she was sharing it with her selflessly, demonstrating considerable sincerity.

In return, Hilda was very open with Jaron, giving him a lot of information he had always wanted to know.

In short, both of them were very satisfied.

The alliance between the two sides was further strengthened, and Hilda also trusted Jaron more.

Even when leaving Coral Island, she brought up the deal to Jia Long that she hadn't wanted to reveal at all before.

"General, you are well-informed. If you can find the whereabouts of the One Ring for me, I am willing to give you another treasure of my tribe, the seven Odin Stones, in exchange."

"The reason I didn't want to say much to the general before was because these seven Odin Stones were my means of protection, and also the reason I dared to come to see you alone even though I knew you had defeated Queen Medusa..."

"The Odin Gems are treasures born from the will of Odin. Once all seven gems are collected, one can summon the legendary Odin Garb and Belmont Sword of our race!"

Chapter 192 Sealing Off the Town! The Gathering Place of Evil Gods

The eight-legged warhorse leaped into the air, leaving a huge trail of flame that disappeared into the horizon.

"Odin's Garments and Belmont's Sword?"

Gazing at Hilda's dashing figure as she walked away, Jalon fell into deep thought.

Collecting all seven gems allows you to summon the divine sword and the Odin Cloth. In the anime, Seiya wore the Odin Cloth in this way and used the Belmont sword to shatter the Nibelungen Ring. Aiolia also used this method to fight against the remnant soul of Loki.

The sword of Belmont carries the will of Odin.

Summoning this divine sword is equivalent to borrowing the remaining power of Odin.

Even if it were just using Odin's remaining power, it would be more than enough to kill Jalong, after all, in the mythological lineage, Odin's counterpart is Zeus, the fourth generation of gods.

No wonder Hilda was so confident; she had a trump card like the Belmont Sword.

"However, since she can summon such a powerful weapon as the Belmont Sword, why does she want the Eternal Spear so much?"

"It seems that even for the Aesir, collecting all seven Odin Stones is no easy feat..."

After a moment's thought, Jia Long understood.

Although the Belmont Sword is powerful, it can only be used once, somewhat like a dragon. To summon it again, you need to collect all the Odin Gems once more.

Moreover, the sword of Belmont carries the will of Odin.

To put it bluntly, this sword belongs to Odin.

The Spear of Eternity was born from the World Tree. If it is a newly born Spear of Eternity, it has no master; whoever obtains it becomes its new master.

The two are fundamentally different.

Hilda, who is named after a Valkyrie, has great ambitions, and she must want the Spear of Eternity even more!

"Damn, we've lost out big time!"

For the first time, Jaron regretted losing the Ring of Nibelung. He realized there were so many secrets hidden within it. Had he known this, he would have chased after the Ring even if it meant giving up the Great Wind Dragon!

If you obtain the One Ring and exchange it for the Odin Stone that summons Belmont, wouldn't that be an extra powerful talisman?

Or simply grow the World Tree yourself.

Using his soul, which was of little use to him, he nurtured a new eternal spear.

When he gets there, wielding a weapon as powerful as the Eternal Spear, won't he be able to stab whoever he wants?

"Uh~"

Thinking about all this, Jia Long's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

"No, I still need to study!"

……

Inside the steaming hot spring, Jia Long let out a long breath, feeling his mind return to peace, and his thoughts broadened considerably.

His candid conversation with Hilda allowed him to learn many of the secrets of the Assa people.

This even includes the resurrection of Medusa.
