"Saint Seiya..."
Rias: "Emmm, I see. You are the reincarnation of Athena."
Hestia: "The reincarnation of Athena?"
Hestia: "That's impossible. I remember Athena is still doing fine in the Heavens; how could she have reincarnated?"
"Wait, Athena?!"
Kuro Usagi: "That Goddess of Wisdom and Goddess of War, the Great Goddess Athena who is one of the virgin goddesses of greek mythology along with the Great God Hestia?!"
Rias: "You might be mistaken about one thing; the people entering the group are not from the same world."
"A Counterpart of Lady Athena?"
Kuro Usagi: "Doesn't that mean it's a universe unobserved by Little Garden!"
"Hmm... saying it that way isn't wrong, but the actual scope might be broader than you imagine."
Rias: "The world is very vast. Cores like Little Garden are not few in the myriad worlds. At least as far as I know, the peak combat Dominion system of the Saint Seiya world far exceeds Little Garden's 'Three-Dimensional Intersection Parallel Universe'."
Kuro Usagi: "!!!!!"
Jibril: "Is that person called Athena very strong?"
"What do you mean'strong or not'? That is a Great Goddess located in the Three-Digit domain!"
Kuro Usagi: "Though for a Other World Counterpart, it's hard to say."
Jibril: "Three-Digit?"
Rias: "The Three-Digit rank is known as the 'domain of Omnipotence'. Because they are omniscient, they are omnipotent. Basically, as long as any Three-Digit is not in Little Garden, their Dominion can extend to the entire universe."
"I see. It seems she's another powerhouse that can't be challenged. How regrettable."
Jibril said regretfully.
I stood up, and then I was one-shotted.
There's no game experience at all; truly challenging them is just asking for humiliation.
This was the truth Jibril realized after fighting Rias many times.
Jibril: "By the way, @Rias Gremory, since she's a Other World Counterpart, how is this Athena's strength?"
"It's not very clear, but Athena herself most likely won't be weaker than the one in Little Garden."
Rias: "And compared to the one in Little Garden, the Athena of the Saint Seiya world is a true Goddess of Benevolence."
Rias: "As for Hestia... @Hestia, does your world have anything particularly characteristic?"
Hestia: "What counts as characteristic?"
Rias: "Special events, special buildings, special lifeforms, things like that."
Hestia: "Hmm, as for events, in the last few thousand years, it seems many gods have sealed their divine Dominion and run to the Lower World to recruit a peerage and play games with humans."
"Well... many gods are so happy they've forgotten their home. According to the gods who returned, they don't even want to go back to the boring Heavens at all."
"As for buildings, the Heavens are just like that, unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. However, the Lower World has a Tower of Babel, and below it is a Dungeon filled with monsters."
Hestia: "Most gods' peerages operate there and go on adventures."
Rias: "I think I understand."
Gods creating peerages and playing games with humans.
Plus a Dungeon and the characteristic building, the Tower of Babel.
Clearly, this Hestia is the one with the blue ribbon.
Sasha: "Are there... many Athenas?"
Rias: "@Sasha, have you not awakened yet?"
Sasha: "No, it's only been five years since I descended to the Sanctuary. The time is still too short, and I'm not very clear on many things."
Descended to the Sanctuary?
Rias raised an eyebrow slightly.
Something seems slightly off.
A parallel world?
Thinking this way, Rias understood.
Like Little Garden, the Saint Seiya world has many parallel worlds.
It's only natural that the stories occurring within them differ.
The ones with the greatest differences are the LC and ND of 'The Lost Canvas'.
What Rias is familiar with is LC.
If the reincarnation of Athena named Sasha came directly to the Sanctuary, perhaps... this world doesn't have that black sheep, Youma.
"I see."
Rias.
Jibril: "@Rias Gremory, don't just keep the knowledge to yourself. Hurry up and tell us about the newcomer's world, and what the newcomer is like."
"Kuro Usagi comes from a god-made world. Starting from the dawn era, many ancient Pantheons created Little Garden."
"On the surface, it's the size of a star, a typical flat-earth type world."
Rias: "Since it's a paradise for three thousand Asuras, Gods, and Buddhas built by the gods, its endurance is great and it won't be easily destroyed."
Jibril: "Destroyed?!"
Even though the races in the 'No Game No Life' world are capable of fighting an interstellar war.
But planet-bursting is still a bit exaggerated.
Especially star-bursting.
So this 'destroyed' seems very meaningful~
Rias: "As for Kuro Usagi, she's a Miniature Garden Noble known as the Moon Rabbit tribe, but this tribe's IQ is a bit... touching?"
Kuro Usagi: "Aaaah, Lady Rias, my IQ is normal!!"
Jibril: "It's inevitable; after all, she's emergency food."
Unohana Retsu: "Hearing that makes me also want to eat some braised rabbit head. smile.jpg~"
"This kind of thing can be called a Miniature Garden Noble?"
Tatsumaki: "She's the shame of the Miniature Garden Nobles, right~"
Yasuri Nanami: "Maybe she exists as a mascot?"
"I am not emergency food."
Kuro Usagi: "Crying noises~"
"Sasha comes from a massive world."
"Although it's also a worldview centered around 'Earth', the Earth in her world is different from the Earth in our general sense."
"In my world, those at the Dragon God Level have the ability to burst planets. If I intended to, I could even instantly 'destroy' the Earth, including all life on it."
"But the Earth in Sasha's world contains the will of the gods and is very difficult to destroy."
"And it's said... it's said that the Eighty-Eight Constellations in her world were created by Athena herself."
Rias said somewhat uncertainly.
"Creating constellations?!"
Kuro Usagi was startled.
Then she remembered it was in the outside world and felt relieved.
Scared me to death, I thought they were god-made Star Spirits~
However, this is also a very terrifying 'possibility'.
"Most importantly, Athena's Saint Seiya have been protecting humanity from various Pantheons and gods for thousands of years."
"Every generation of Gold Saints is composed of humans, and—"
"Every generation of Gold Saints possesses the strength of a Four-Digit."
"Most are extremely strong existences among the Four-Digits."
"Furthermore, the most basic Dominion of a Saint Seiya is to destroy atoms."
"In terms of pure raw strength, every generation of Gold Saints has the Dominion to tear the earth and crush the stars."
"And what's more precious is that those Saint Seiya each have their own unique Golden Spirit. Their tenacious conviction can be called the best description of the word 'warrior'."
Rias gave a very high evaluation of Sasha's generation of Gold Saints.
