Marvel: Father of the Saints

I think, the adults must have sacrificed with a smile, right?Because they all fulfilled their mission;

You adults must be having a carnival in the sky now, right?Because the sacrifices of your lords were not in vain, we finally won. "

"That's the end of the record of the jihad. I don't know how I persisted. But I'm afraid I can't lift my pen anymore. No matter what I draw, I will recall the tragic sacrifices in the jihad. But I am still proud that because of my efforts and persistence, the struggles of all adults have been recorded."

I would like to warn my descendants and those who are lucky enough to get this book, please protect this diary. The struggle of adults should be remembered and should not disappear in obscurity. Remember, remember!

—Recorder Rasfiel Mondpela. "

……

When the last page was closed, Shi Ang gently stroked the old book cover, tears welling up in his eyes.

From the moment he got this diary, Shi Ang carefully read it word by word. He was the person who witnessed it back then, and he was also one of the historical witnesses of his comrades in arms.

The jihad ended, the sanctuary was devastated, he took over as the pope, and his younger brother Alex assisted him.And Tong Hu is alone guarding the sealed place of the [-] magic stars.

The development of Sanctuary has made great progress, he is very excited, he has lived up to the entrustment of his comrades.But whenever he recalls the jihad more than 200 years ago, Shion feels heartache.

He was very ashamed, the biggest reason why he and Tong Hu survived was because they were the two weakest among the Golden Saints of that session.

Therefore, the most dangerous tasks are not their turn. Even if they enter "Lost vas", most of the powerful enemies are resisted by others.

Until the final battle, Athena used her last strength to send them back to the human world in order to continue the inheritance of the sanctuary.

If I am stronger and as strong as my comrades, will more comrades survive?Will it be possible to save Lady Athena in the end?

He has no answer to this question, and it is impossible to find an answer.

"Old man, are you okay?" Howard asked with concern.

"It's okay, I remembered the past, I'm getting older, and I'm getting sentimental." Shi On said, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Steve, Howard, and Peggy were silent. They wanted to comfort the old man, but they couldn't say anything.

It took them a lot of effort to find this ancient book from a down-and-out nobleman.If the three of them hadn't repeatedly promised to send this ancient book back to the sanctuary, it would have been impossible to get it.

As for the content of this book, all three of them had read it, so they were sure that the Shi Ang in front of him was a participant and survivor of the holy war more than 200 years ago.

Just from the self-report of a bystander, the three of them could feel the tragedy of the holy war back then, so how did Shi Ang feel?

"Thank you for sending this book back, which is one of the most precious possessions in the sanctuary." Shi On bowed to the three of Steve to thank them.

"Hey! Old man, don't do this! If you do this, I will lose my life!" Seeing Shion bowing to them, Howard quickly stepped aside to avoid it, and helped Shion up.

"You deserve it. Back then, Rasfil left the sanctuary because he couldn't bear the blow. I thought I would never see this diary again. I didn't expect... oh..." Shi On sighed.

"Hey, didn't this help you find it?" Howard comforted.

"Well, thanks, Saga."

"Your Majesty..."

"Put this book in the treasure house and keep it safe." Shi On ordered.

"Your Majesty... forgive me." Saga knelt down on one knee and refused, which made Shion stunned. Who knows, even Aiolos and Aiolia knelt down and begged Shion.

"Your Majesty, please allow us to read this diary, keep in mind the will of our ancestors, and inherit their mission!"

"You... well, go."

"Yes!" The three of them took the diary carefully and hurriedly left the Pope's Palace.

"They did the right thing, old man, such an outstanding senior should let the younger generation learn from their spirit. I think the senior saint fighters who died also hope the same." Howard said.

"I think so too, Your Majesty, to be honest, I always thought I was a hero. But after watching it, I think I still have a lot to learn." Steve said.

"Your Majesty, even if I am a woman, I can't help feeling overwhelmed. You and your comrades in arms are a group of great men worthy of admiration." Peggy said.

"Hahaha, this is our mission, there is no need for praise, even if there is no me, there will be others."

"It's a pity that I'm not a saint, otherwise I would really like to fight side by side with you." Howard regretted, and Steve and Peggy nodded in agreement.

"The cultivation of a saint is not just about strength. To become a powerful saint, you need to test your "mind and physical skills", "benevolence, wisdom and courage". A member of the Saint Warrior. "Shion said.

"It turned out to be like this, such a difficult selection, no wonder the saints are all admirable fighters."

Peggy analyzed that such a rule might be used in the future, and she firmly remembered it in her heart.

"Aren't I?" Howard said narcissistically, stroking his hair.

"Hahaha, kid, if you want to become a saint, you may need to quit your color first." Shi On joked.

"Hahaha..." Steve and Peggy couldn't help laughing.

Howard blushed with shame, but he couldn't refute, so he could only despair.

"Don't be sorry, kids, even if you are not saints. But we can still fight side by side. Lord Maier said that in the era of rule by man, many superheroes will emerge. They each have unique and powerful strengths. To the extreme, it is not necessarily weaker than the Saint Seiya, and..."

Having said that, Shion paused for a moment, and looked at Steve with burning eyes.

"Is there anything wrong with me?" Steve was a little terrified facing Shion's fiery gaze.

"Kid, have you ever considered becoming a Saint Seiya?"

Chapter 38: Steve's Cloth

"Kid, have you ever considered becoming a Saint Seiya?"

Shi On was really not surprising in his words, and when he said this, the three of Steve were shocked.

"Grandpa, wait a minute, let me slow down... You mean, Steve has the qualifications to become a saint?" Howard asked in disbelief.

"That's right..."

"Impossible? The Saint Cloth is the core secret of the Sanctuary, you are not afraid of him..." Howard asked.

This is Shion's first meeting with Steve, even if there is a relationship with Garen, it shouldn't be so hasty, right?

The core secret to an outsider you just met?And this person is a soldier and a superhero from another country?

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. I don't think I am suitable to be a member of the Saint Seiya. And I will not join the Sanctuary, but please rest assured that if the Sanctuary is in trouble, I will definitely do my best help." Steve himself declined.

The sudden proposal really frightened him, although he also hoped to gain great power and help him protect everything he cherished.

But the Saint Cloth cannot be given to him in vain, he does not want to be bound by the Saint Domain.Moreover, his friends and lovers are all in the beautiful country, so it is impossible for him to abandon everything and join the sanctuary.

"That's right, I didn't misread you." Shi On nodded with satisfaction, this answer was what he hoped for.If Steve agreed immediately, Shion would look down on him instead.

Howard was also relieved, why Shion invited Steve to become a member of the Saints. Steve has beautiful qualities that he would never be able to achieve in his life, and it does meet the requirements of the Saints.

So far, Howard has to admire Shion's vision, and it is estimated that Steve's rejection is also expected by Shion.

Paige looked at Steve proudly. This was his man, just as good.

"Haha, don't worry, kid, your worries are unnecessary. Even if you are a holy fighter, unless you have to respond to compulsory recruitment during the holy war, you don't need to stay in the sanctuary at all times, and the sanctuary will not force you to What are you doing, as for your worries about the power of the Saint Cloth being cracked... If you can do it, then we can also retire early."

What Shi Ang said was sincere, unless all the saints were urgently recalled to join the battle at the beginning of the jihad, usually as long as the saints did not commit crimes, or had special important tasks, they would not interfere with their daily life .

It's just that since ancient times, the saints have regarded the sanctuary as their home, so they have always stayed in the sanctuary.

And the last joke is also serious.

The Holy Cloth is a battle armor jointly forged by Maier and Athena, and it is also a kind of divine weapon. He does not believe that anyone can crack the mystery in it, even if it is cracked, it doesn't matter.

If it is true that Saint Cloths are mass-produced and Saints are mass-produced, then Holy Wars do not require such a large sacrifice from the Saint Domain, and humans can protect themselves, which is actually a good thing in his opinion.

"But Your Majesty, I still refuse." Steve still refused Shi On, and he understood the truth that "there is no such thing as a free lunch".

Although Sanctuary will definitely help when he needs help, it is completely different to take the initiative to help himself and passively participate in the war because of his status.Although he is a soldier, he doesn't like being tied down.

"Haha, don't be so full of words, children, come with me." Shi Ang said with a mysterious smile, without giving the three of them a chance to choose, he went straight to the outside of the Pope's Palace.

The three of them looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders respectively, and it was too impolite to leave just after following.

Along the way, Shi On brought the three of them to a dark hall.

"Old man, you are..."

Howard wanted to ask a question, but in the next second, the radiant and dark hall was shrouded in a starry sky. Above the starry sky, 88 constellations were arranged on it, the core of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, the 28 silver constellations in the middle, and the outermost The 48 bronze constellations.

Among them, some constellations are bright, but most constellations are dull.

"This is the Hill of Stars, the second most sacred place in the sanctuary. Except for Lord Maierin and Lord Athena, only successive popes are eligible to enter. Every pope will watch the stars here for fortune-telling, and everything is based on the fate of the stars. The cycle of life and death, stargazing is like observing the universe."

At the same time, it is also a sacred place to preserve the Lordless Cloth.Except for the Saint Cloth of the Gold Saint Seiya who will wait for their master in the Zodiac, all other Saint Cloths will automatically return here if they have no master or lose their master, waiting for the birth of a new master. " Shion explained.

Under normal circumstances, the Saint Cloth will be stored in the Hill of Stars. As long as a suitable person appears, the Saint Cloth staying on the Hill of Stars will automatically sense it. The Pope will perform divination according to the astrology, and then send the Saint Cloth to various places, waiting The owner of the holy cloth puts on the holy cloth.

The reason why he brought the three of them into the Hill of Stars, and why Shion has been asking Steve to become a saint, is because the holy clothes in the Hill of Stars reacted.

"But Your Majesty, I already..." Steve knew Shion's intention immediately, and was about to refuse, but at this moment, the starry sky of Star Hill changed suddenly, and one of the bronze constellations lit up The brilliance, the starlight fell, and stayed in front of Steve.

Seeing this, Shi On grinned, his goal had been achieved.

The light gradually weakened, and the three of them slowly opened their eyes and saw clearly what was in front of them.

A white box floated in front of Steve, not gold or silver.It's another kind of white metal, its light flickering on and off, constantly echoing Steve.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"When we were selecting saints, the saints were also selected by the saints. Not everyone is qualified to become a saint. Since the saints have chosen you, before you die, or what you do is judged by the saints Before Yi abandons you. You are its owner, and you are the Bronze Saint Seiya Scutum." Shi On said.

"But... oh..." Steve was depressed, his feelings had been arranged, and it was useless to refuse.

If he refuses to accept the Saint Cloth, then there will always be a vacancy for the Bronze Saint Seiya in the Shield Seat, and the Sanctuary will also lose a combat power, which is what Steve does not want to see;

But he didn't want to die, and he couldn't do anything against his conscience.

Therefore, this is a conspiracy, and he has to accept this holy cloth.

Moreover, from the moment the Saint Cloth landed in front of him, he felt a very intimate connection between himself and the Saint Cloth.Just like there is me in you, and you in me, regardless of each other.

One is helplessness, and the other is intimacy, Steve stretched out his hand and put it on the box.

In the next second, the edge of the box shone brightly, and the tight box opened automatically, revealing the red shield inside. While fully revealing the figure, the red shield split into small pieces of metal, flying around Steve Rotating, the last one covered Steve's body one by one to form an armor, with a square red shield on his right hand.

"It's so heavy!" The astonishing weight fell on Steve's body all of a sudden, and he knelt down, with his hands on the ground.

"What's going on?" Howard and Peggy were taken aback, and they stepped forward to help Steve up.But no matter how hard you try, you can't shake the weight.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

"Old man, what's going on?"

Peggy and Howard said anxiously.

Shi Ang came to Steve's side, put his hand on the holy clothes, and while urging the small universe, he murmured in a low voice: "Don't worry, he's not ready yet."

Sure enough, the holy cloth disintegrated automatically again, returned to the box to form a shield, and when the box was closed, Steve felt his body relax.

"Your Majesty the Pope, it seems that I am not suitable to be a Saint Seiya..." Steve said with some fatigue. He was fortunate and regretful. When the Saint Cloth left his body, he clearly felt a sense of reluctance. , and a voice urging him to get stronger quickly.

"No, the Scutum Cloth chose you, so you are his master. There is no doubt about it. The reason why you feel the weight is because your small universe has not yet been developed, nor has the sixth sense awakened." Shion explained.

"Small universe? Sixth sense?" The three were puzzled.

"Yes, the essence of a saint's power is the small universe. Everything in the world has its own unique small universe, which cannot be imitated or copied. Hide your true nature from him."

But the small universe of ordinary people only awakens the five senses, vision, taste, smell, hearing, and touch. Only a few people can awaken the sixth sense that surpasses ordinary people. After awakening the sixth sense, they will become what you call superpowers. .

And the method of exercise and meditation passed down by Lord Maier and Lord Athena has given ordinary people the cultivation method to awaken the sixth sense.But this also requires very rigorous training to be able to do it.

As for this method of exercise and meditation, the first requirement is that the physical fitness must reach the limit of human beings.And you, Steve, even though you are influenced by foreign objects, you have also reached the limit of your fifth sense.

Next, you only need to continue to practice the small universe, and you will have the opportunity to awaken the sixth sense, and you will also have the opportunity to wear the holy clothes. "Shion said.

"There is still this theory?" Howard was shocked. He is a genius scientist who has always sneered at theology and metaphysics. Even after learning about the sanctuary, he still stubbornly believes that it is just that their technological level is not up to it.If conditions are given to him, he will definitely be able to decipher the secrets of these supernatural forces.

But now, Shi On's words touched him a lot, and gave him a broader perspective. He is eager to study the secret of the Saint Cloth.

Not for wealth, not for fame, just for the sake that in the future jihad, the holy domain will no longer fight alone, and will not make such a big sacrifice again.

"It seems that I really can't refuse." Steve smiled wryly, the other party had already talked about this, if he was refusing, then he really didn't know how to appreciate it.

"Steve..." Peggy took his hand, telling Steve with hot eyes, no matter what, I will face it with you.

"The First Cause of All Realms"

"Peggy..."

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the sound of coughing, the two separated again, glanced to the side in embarrassment.

This time it was not Howard who spoke out, but Shion, although Shion was happy to see the saint warrior have his own life and family.
