Saint Seiya: From the Succession of the Underworld

Persephone then said, "In my opinion, it's not like that at all. With your divine power to nurture it, the probability of this Dark Cloth breaking through its limit is extremely high, or even very easy."

"after all."

"Every piece of Dark Cloth contains your divine power."

"Probably so."

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue, agreeing that it was quite possible.

Tell the truth.

The power contained in Jiang Chen's divine power was truly terrifying. If even the Dark Saint Cloth couldn't break through the limit after expending so much divine power, that would be the most embarrassing thing.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, and the Dark 88 Constellation emitted a dazzling light.

soon.

Each constellation is formed from translucent black crystals. If you look closely, you can see the shadows of the stars forming patterns within them, and you can also see the dark armor pieces within them.

The Dark 88 constellations have once again been transformed into a bracelet.

Jiang Chen put the bracelet on his wrist, turned around and said, "This time the harvest is not bad, whether it's the child Esther or the Dark Cloth breaking the limit."

"All right."

"It's time to go back now."

"There's still a month left. After a period of rest, it's time to start the next phase."

"it is good."

Persephone nodded with a broad smile.

The four figures disappeared again, and when they reappeared, they had arrived at Hades City.

Jiang Chen sat on the throne of the Underworld City, crossed his legs, leaned back on the throne, and propped his head up with one hand, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while.

Jiang Chen said, "Albedo, go and bring Jenny over. Oh, and bring Marin over too."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Albedo bowed respectfully, she went to fetch the people.

Jiang Chen focused his gaze on Esther, whose wrist was adorned with a constellation bracelet, one of the beads emitting a dim light.

next moment.

A jet-black Saint Cloth, in its Saint Cloth form, had already floated in front of Esther.

Dark Cloth - Ophiuchus.

Jiang Chen said, "Estelle, this Dark Saint Cloth suits you very well."

"Speaking of which..."

Before Esther could answer, Jiang Chen said thoughtfully, "Ophiuchus is divided into two parts. The Ophiuchus part is what constitutes the Ophiuchus constellation of the Gold Saints, and it is also the special Ophiuchus Gold Cloth that stands at the top of the 88 constellations. The other part is the Ophiuchus Silver Cloth, which is the snake."

"after all."

"Asclepius, however, truly became a god."

Persephone explained, "Unfortunately, Asclepius went astray; he became an evil god and tried to overthrow all the gods."

"Even Athena couldn't save him."

"Sure enough."

Jiang Chen nodded knowingly and continued, "So, the Silver Ophiuchus constellation is a familiar of the Gold Ophiuchus constellation?"

"Hmm~"

Persephone pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dust, if that's how it's described, then it seems acceptable."

"Well!"

"never mind."

Jiang Chen looked into it briefly and said nonchalantly, "There's no need to worry too much about this. After all, it doesn't concern us much. The Dark Saint Cloth in my possession doesn't even have the distinction of gold, silver, or bronze."

Jiang Chen simply didn't care at all.

All of their Dark Cloths underwent a transformation.

This is similar to the Demon Star, which is theoretically divided into five levels, and indeed there are five levels.

However, this sets a lower limit, while in essence, the upper limit is the same; it just depends on whether the Specters can develop to that level.

This is the fundamental core.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Esther knelt down on one knee again, her eyes filled with excitement.

No words needed.

but……

Who can truly understand Esther's heart?

This is not a joke.

Esther once tried her best to catch up with her sister and become a true Saint.

Can!

In the end, Esther failed; she did not become a Saint. But now, under His Majesty's command, she possesses her own Saint Cloth, even if it is a Dark Saint Cloth, but that is enough.

"..."

Esther remained silent, but knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Jiang Chen.

Subsequently.

Amidst the gentle smiles of Jiang Chen and Persephone, Esther stood up, igniting her own inner universe.

In an instant.

The Ophiuchus Dark Cloth disintegrated instantly and then reassembled onto Esther.

A short time.

They are fully armed.

"This……"

Esther was also completely stunned after putting on the Ophiuchus Dark Cloth.

His older sister was the Ophiuchus Silver Saint, so of course he knew what the Ophiuchus Cloth was like.

but……

This one?

"Well!"

"After all, this is a Dark Cloth that has been nurtured by divine power and broken through its limits. If it is not as good as the original Cloth, wouldn't I be very embarrassed?"

Seeing Esther's confusion, Jiang Chen smiled and said something.

"¨" Your Majesty..."

"I……"

Esther was eager to say something; she wasn't questioning His Majesty, but... but!

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said casually, "I know what you mean."

"after all."

"The coverage of ordinary bronze armor is about 20%, silver armor is about 50%, and gold armor is about 70%."

"and!"

"The Silver Cloths of Ophiuchus and Aquila have a coverage rate of only about 10%."

"right?"

Jiang Chen voiced Esther's confusion.

Esther nodded, still looking confused and not quite understanding what was going on.

Jiang Chen organized his thoughts and explained, "A Saint Cloth is a type of battle armor that can evolve. As a Saint's Cosmo increases, the Saint Cloth will undergo continuous evolution."

"To be precise!"

"This applies not only to Saint Cloths, but also to Surplice Cloths and Scale Cloths."

"The difference is."

"The Hades Robe, Scale Robe, or the battle robes of other warriors under the command of gods will be retained after evolution."

"and……"

"The Saint Cloth is different. After evolution, when a Saint dies, the original essence will be preserved, but the Saint will regress to the initial stage until the next Saint who can activate it appears. In this case, the Saint will unleash even greater power."

"In a sense, this is a restriction imposed by the gods on the Saints under Athena's command."

"otherwise."

"There's no way to fight a holy war anymore. The Saints are getting more and more terrifying with each generation, while the warriors under the command of other gods are getting weaker and weaker."

"so……"

Esther listened to her lord's explanation and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Chen continued, "The Dark Saint Cloth you're wearing, speaking of which, is of the same quality here. Its coverage is comparable to 70% of the Gold Saint Cloth, and its quality is the same. It awaits your further development."

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty!"

Esther nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

At this time.

Albedo has arrived with Jenny and Marin.

That's all for now.

Albedo then said softly, "Your Majesty, Jenny and Marin have been brought here."

"Ok!"

Jiang Chen turned his head to look. Jenny was indeed better than before, but overall, she still had a kind of obsessed feeling.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything more, but with a wave of his hand, the Chameleon Throne Dark Cloth landed in front of Jenny.

"Your Majesty..."

As Jenny looked at the dark armor, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She opened her mouth, but had no idea what to say.

For Jenny, the resentment of being ignored and disregarded was only one aspect.

To be more precise.

What saddened Jenny the most was that, in the very end, even her own Saint Cloth abandoned her, which was the most unacceptable thing for Jenny.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Alright, stop crying, Jenny. I'm really looking forward to seeing you wear this Dark Cloth. You should work hard to develop this Dark Cloth further, and in the future, make it comparable to a God Cloth. Wouldn't that be interesting?"

"Yes!"

Jenny wiped away her tears and nodded seriously. She, too, burned her own cosmos and awakened the dormant Chameleon Dark Cloth.

In an instant!

This sacred garment is already on Jenny's body.

Jenny felt a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness, or rather, a feeling of being embraced by her mother. She gripped the long whip tightly, determined not to disappoint His Majesty's expectations. She would never fail His Majesty's expectations.

Jiang Chen looked at Jenny, then at Esther.

Subsequently.

He then turned his gaze to Marin, resting his chin on his hand, and said casually, "Speaking of which, Marin, what are your thoughts? You've been in the Underworld for so long now, are you still not planning to obediently listen to me?"
