Saint Seiya Evil Skull

After Asgard passed the resolution to imitate the God Fighting Armor, Albelis immediately summoned the famous blacksmiths of Asgard in the name of Asgard, put them under closed management, provided Asgard with all 15 God Fighting Armor, let them have close contact with the God Fighting Armor, and asked them to trial-produce the parts of the God Fighting Armor to test their craftsmanship.

At the same time, Hagen and two other Fire-attributed S-type Divine Warriors were summoned. After all, in the icy and snowy environment of Northern Europe, the birth of Fire-attributed Divine Warriors was rare. Hagen was a special case, possessing both Ice and Fire attributes. He also possessed Fire attributes, but relied more heavily on the power of the Fire Spirit. Forging a replica Divine Armor was impossible with ordinary blacksmiths alone. They usually crafted farm tools and simple swords. Alberich had summoned them primarily to provide forging technology.

After intense discussion, everyone concluded that successfully crafting a Divine Armor required three conditions: first, extremely high flame temperatures to melt the hard ore and change its shape; second, highly skilled blacksmiths to ensure comprehensive control of the entire forging process; and finally, and most importantly, precious and rare materials. These three conditions are mutually reinforcing and indispensable; any flaw in any one of them could compromise the Divine Armor's quality and performance, failing to meet ideal standards. For example, in the Sanctuary and Asgard today, many Divine Warriors wear only simple protective gear. A prime example is Cassios, the apprentice of Ophiuchus Silver Saint Shaina. The protective gear he wears only protects vital parts of his body. Compared to the protective capabilities of the Saint Armor, these protective gear are negligible.

When Hagen and two other S-class God Warriors arrived, Albelisi explained to the three of them the purpose of calling them here.

"You mean you asked us to come here just to be a blacksmith and help you forge your Divine Fighting Armor!!!"

"It's not for me, it's for our entire Asgard. For the future of Asgard, can't you take the lead and make a sacrifice?"

"You also have fire attributes, why don't you sacrifice yourself? Go become a blacksmith!"

"It's not a question of whether you want to or not. It's just that there are too few people in our Asgard who possess fire-attributed microcosms. There are only four of us, so we all have to learn. I've already recruited several of the most famous blacksmiths in Asgard. Let them try to forge the protective gear for the Divine Battle Armor. Then we'll select one or two good ones, and we'll learn the blacksmithing skills from them. With our strength, we should be able to learn quickly. However, because there are so many things going on in Asgard, I can only try my best to cooperate with you and provide you with assistance. This matter is mainly your responsibility."

"What? Focusing on the three of us?"

"Of course, the Fairy Palace has raised you for so many years, you should contribute something. You can't just live like a borer and eat for free."

"Me, a termite? And I'm eating and living for free! Arubelisi, you...you're going too far!"

"The matter has been decided, and it has been approved by Queen Hilda. Just accept your fate, right? This is your mission!"

"No, the Queen must have been deceived by you. I want to go see the Queen and explain it to her face to face!"

"Of course, you can meet the queen after you have achieved results. As for now, you'd better think about how to complete the forging! Hurry up before I get angry!" After saying that, Aluberisi clenched his fists arrogantly, as if to imply that if Hagen dared to refuse, a beating would be inevitable.

"You..." Hagen swallowed and finally did not dare to object.

Thus, under Alberich's relentless pressure, Hagen and two other S-rank God Warriors, Angelo and Eriksson, were forced to learn blacksmithing from the best blacksmith in Asgard. Unlike Hagen, who was forced to do so, Angelo and Eriksson were truly grateful to Alberich. All Alberich did was for them, the God Warriors without God Armor! If they succeeded, they would be considered heroes of the Asgardian God Warriors, and would be able to dominate the God Warriors in the future.

"Damn Arubelici, he said he wanted to learn blacksmithing with us, but I haven't seen him all day. How hateful!" Hagen complained while forging iron.

To maintain secrecy, Alberich didn't allow anyone outside of Asgard to participate in the creation of the replica God's Battle Armor, even if they had superior skills. However, Alberich still aggressively acquired various rare materials through the Asgard auction house and other channels.

That day, Alberich finally remembered this place and leisurely walked into the cave. Seeing the newly transformed environment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Originally, this was just an ordinary cave where Hagen often trained, but now it had become a testing ground for the replica of the Asgard God Fighting Suit. It was a complete transformation.

Deep within the cave, they saw four massive forges standing near the lava, their blazing flames illuminating the entire space in a brilliant crimson. It turned out that Albelisi had specifically placed these four forges in this location, perfectly suited for the four of them. However, one of the forges was noticeably newer than the others, as if it had never been used.

Albelisi stood before the brand new forge, his lips curled up slightly in a sly smile. Originally, he'd planned to build only three forges, but Hagen refused, insisting on building one for him, saying he hoped Albelisi would share the hardship. However, after the forge was completed, Albelisi found excuses to rarely come, and when he did, it was mostly to check on Hagen and his team's progress, which only fueled Hagen's growing resentment towards him.

Alubelisi, standing some distance from the forge, heard Hagen shouting, "Eighty, eighty, eighty..." He couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment. It turned out that once before, Alubelisi had stumbled upon Hagen listlessly working on the ironwork. So, he casually offered Hagen a private reward of 80 crowns for every hammer blow. However, Alubelisi ignored the offer. From then on, Hagen would shout "Eighty" every time he worked, as if reminding Alubelisi to fulfill his promise. This gesture was clearly intended to earn more money from Alubelisi, to satisfy some inner need. This scene reminded Alubelisi of a classic scene from the skit "Decoration," played by Huang Hong in his previous life, and a strange sense of embarrassment welled up within him.

Of course, the forging lab hadn't been completely unsuccessful during this period. Hagen and his companions had already managed to create some impressive-looking protective gear, but there was still a significant gap in hardness, making it barely usable and of limited practical use. This was primarily due to issues with the materials and temperature. Precious materials were limited in quantity and required refinement, making it difficult to determine the final remaining quantity. If they were to recklessly waste precious materials on forging at this point, they would inevitably fall short of meeting demand. Therefore, Albelisi instructed them to begin by smelting and forging with the most basic thousand-piece steel to hone their skills and observe the results. Only when their technical level reached a certain level could they claim rare ores from the warehouse.

Because of this, Hagen was dissatisfied again, saying that Albelisi did not trust them, and so on...

It would be extremely difficult for just a few of them to explore the combination of minerals. Albelici calmly organized his team to search for relevant materials and books. At the same time, he instructed Fafnir to carefully collect a small amount of mineral material for testing.

In short, this is a job that requires time and patience and cannot be achieved in the short term.
