Chapter 512 -36: Awesome, Everything Can Be Awesome! (4.6k)_3

Themis was still unconscious, and Athena was already plotting against this elder. What if he was actually declining in power?

The Goddess of Wisdom would likely show no mercy, knocking him to his knees before dragging him back to do stellar labor.

Therefore, to ensure he wasn’t overrun, he had to stay ahead of his older sister in every aspect.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an urgent pressure behind him and started to inquire about more intelligence on the Sacred Robes, trying to boost his recruitment performance as quickly as possible.

“Speaking of which, aren’t there only twelve Golden Saint Cloths in the Zodiac? What’s the deal with Ophiuchus?”

“Who told you there are only twelve fixed sets of Golden Saint Cloths?”

...

Luo En was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Athena patiently explained.

“Nothing is immutable. Since the creation from Chaos millions of years ago, and after such large-scale evolution, even Polaris is not eternally stationary. It’s common for stars to reach the end of their lives, old stars to die, and new stars to be born. And to make the Astrolabe even more beautiful, the stars will also change positions with each other, so the status of the Zodiac is neither constant nor irreplaceable.”

“But as I recall, Ophiuchus was originally designed to be of silver rank, right? Can it replace a position in the Zodiac?”

“Is silver necessarily weaker than gold? Can a child clad in armor truly defeat a demigod in plain clothes?”

Hearing Athena’s meaningful question, Luo En pondered.

“So, the true measure of strength doesn’t lie solely in the Sacred Robe itself, but also in the power and potential of the wearer?”

Athena nodded and looked at Luo En, deep in thought.

“I’m guessing your progress is so slow because you believe there are too few Golden Rank Sacred Robes and you need to meticulously select suitable candidates. Releasing the silver and bronze rank Sacred Robes, you worry it might limit some people’s innate abilities and talents.”

Luo En reluctantly nodded; this was precisely his concern.

Therefore, despite their considerable strengths, Medea and Atalanta had yet to receive suitable Sacred Robes.

“You’re overthinking it.”

Athena rolled her eyes at her overly clever brother and spoke up lightly.

“The color of the Sacred Robes is just a symbol of different statuses within the Sanctuary, not of strength. Whether one is weaker or stronger still depends on the wearer. So you can confidently distribute these Sacred Robes to those you favor.”

“Isn’t that too careless? What if a wearer dies?”

“That’s even better. Once they die, the Sacred Robes can automatically return to the Sanctuary, to be inherited by the next person. And the more hands it passes through, the more combat experience the new wearer can gain from it.”

“?”

Luo En showed surprise at these words.

“Memory function…” Athena casually explained, “When Goddess Mnemosyne resided on War God Mountain, I asked her to infuse a trace of her Memory Divinity into the Sacred Robes, allowing them to absorb each wearer’s battle talent and combat experience, ensuring that the Sacred Robes would grow increasingly strong in use. After all, they can only usurp the Divine Authority of the heavens if they continue to ascend to new levels.”

Luo En caught the implied meaning, a hint of amazement flickering in his eyes.

“So, Sacred Robes are alive? They can evolve continually with the nurturing of the wearer?”

It seemed that these wearers could also serve as Experience Packs, becoming upgrade materials for the Sacred Robes.

“Exactly, be it gold, silver, or bronze, none of these are the end point of a Sacred Robe.”

Athena paused, then spoke solemnly.

“To bring the gods’ glory from the sky to the earth, and allow the wearer to stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine in mortal form—this is the true essence of a Sacred Robe!”

“Divine Cloth?”

“Hmm, it’s not wrong to call them that. However, out of the eighty-eight Sacred Robes, only Ophiuchus has so far broken the limit.”

Luo En suddenly realized.

The truth was that the Ophiuchus Sacred Robe hadn’t evolved into the Golden Rank but had become a Divine Cloth due to the Medicine God’s deeds rivalling those of the deities.

Similarly, what Athena desired was not eighty-eight Holy Warriors at her beck and call but eighty-eight deities of the starry sky who would seize the authority of the gods.

“Then why not clarify this from the start?”

“Only twelve Gold Saints are really fit to be used, and the rest, silver and bronze, are all mediocre talents merely making up the numbers. Isn’t it better if outsiders think that way?”

“…”

Luo En had no response, silently giving a thumbs up to Athena.

In terms of cunning and slyness, Sister Ya had everyone beat.
