Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Chapter 53 The Prosperous Palace

Now that the Asgardian replica God Battle Armor has been successfully crafted, it's clearly inappropriate to continue calling it the "Imitation God Battle Armor." After all, these armors need a more appropriate name to reflect their value. After some discussion, Alberich and the other God Warriors unanimously decided to name the replica God Battle Armor Hagen and his team had crafted—the "Battle Armor." This new name not only represents the armor's inherent combat power, but also implies that it will become a valuable piece of equipment for the Asgardian God Warriors in battle.

With the successful forging of the basic battle suit, Alberich began to raise his expectations for Hagen and the others. He pointed out that the Asgardian warriors varied in size and individual characteristics, necessitating specialized battle suits tailored to each type of warrior. He broadly divided the Asgardian warriors into two categories: agile and hard-hitting. Agile warriors prioritized speed and agility, requiring a lightweight, flexible suit that fully utilized their speed while minimizing the burden while maintaining adequate protection. Hard-hitting warriors, known as "tanks," required a heavy, sturdy suit to enhance their defense and offensive power, allowing them to directly overwhelm their enemies on the battlefield and withstand more attacks.

Based on this idea, Alberich hoped that Hagen and his team could design two different types of combat suits: one, the Agility-Attack type, would be appropriately lightweight to leverage the speed of the God Warriors, providing adequate protection without sacrificing speed; the other, the Power-Attack type, also known as the Tank-Type, would be thicker and heavier to enhance protection, allowing the God Warriors to withstand enemy attacks in battle. This way, the God Warriors of Asgard would be able to choose the combat suit that suits them best, allowing them to better unleash their strengths.

Due to a shortage of forgers at the forge, with only three people, Hagen, and limited production capacity, Asgard, after comprehensive considerations, only offers two types of combat suits: the Hard Attack Suit and the Agility Attack Suit. These suits are named after their characteristics and uses, namely the Phantom Suit and the Berserker Suit, respectively. These standardized suits are easy to create, with a high success rate and faster equipment development, as long as a specific template is available. They can also be upgraded later if necessary.

Due to the sheer number of God Warriors, equipping each one with a combat suit would not only exceed the production capacity of Hagen and the other three, but would also place a heavy burden on Asgard's finances. Furthermore, the amount of rare minerals required was enormous. After consultation between Alberich and Hilda, they decided to issue an order in the name of Asgard: All God Warriors of S rank and above would be equipped with a combat suit.

However, if the suit is subsequently damaged, the Divine Warriors must find a forge to repair or rebuild it, at their own expense. Of course, if the mission is commissioned by Asgard, the cost will be covered by Asgard. In principle, Divine Warriors below S rank are not provided with suits unless they have performed significant service to Asgard or are willing to purchase them out of pocket. In reality, Asgard does not completely deny the possibility of obtaining suits for warriors below S rank, but this opportunity is limited to high-ranking Divine Warriors. Using a suit for a Divine Warrior below S rank would not only hinder its effectiveness, but could also prematurely reveal its existence, thereby introducing further risks and ultimately outweighing the benefits.

Of course, if a Divine Warrior dies in battle while wearing a combat suit, it will be taken back by Asgard for reuse, as combat suits are not easy to manufacture. For those who die while awarded for meritorious service or purchased at their own expense, their suits will also be recycled, but their orphans will be given points or other compensation to ensure they don't feel disappointed. This is also clearly stated in the Asgard rules, so there's no fear of future regrets.

With the distribution of combat uniforms and auxiliary training potions from the forge and potion manufacturing center, the development of the Asgard is getting better and better. These powerful equipment and potions not only enhance the strength of the Asgard members, but also enhance their confidence and morale.

Under the protection of their combat suits, the members of the Asgard became even more fearless and brave in battle, greatly enhancing their combat effectiveness. The auxiliary cultivation potions also accelerated their cultivation speed, allowing them to make tremendous progress in a short period of time.

As a result, the reputation of the Asgardian Palace spread again throughout the world, the scale of the Asgardian Palace continued to expand, and the strength of the Asgardian Palace became increasingly stronger. Of course, this is all to come.

In this process, the forge and potion manufacturing center played an important role. They continuously improved and developed new combat suits and potions, providing a continuous source of power for the development of the Asgard.

Asgard Academy also began to contribute to Asgard, providing a large number of fresh blood. Older students at the academy graduated early to join the combat ranks, or entered the intermediate and advanced divisions for further study. Alberich also decided to offer courses in combat suit crafting and potion development at Asgard Academy to cultivate more talents. At the same time, he encouraged students to actively explore and innovate, hoping to create even more powerful combat suits and potions.

With the support of the academy, more and more students are devoting themselves to this field and contributing their own strength to the future development of Xiangong.

The problem plaguing the Asgard now is not anything else but insufficient population, which has hindered its further development. Therefore, Albelisi, in the name of the Asgard, has issued an order: encourage childbirth, increase childbirth subsidies, offer generous rewards for childbirth, and reward successful individuals...

At the same time, after communicating with Queen Hilda and other God Warriors, Alberich decided to selectively open Asgard to the five Nordic countries. For those who are loyal to Asgard, some elites will be selected to settle in Asgard. Although they will not enjoy the treatment of Asgard natives, they will have jobs and be paid in Asgard. If their next generation is born in Asgard, they can enjoy the treatment of natives.

Furthermore, Asgard regularly selects immortal seedlings from the five Nordic nations and sends them to study at Asgard Academy. If these seedlings successfully graduate from the intermediate level of Asgard, they have the right to choose whether to remain in Asgard. If they decide to stay, they will not only enjoy the same benefits as indigenous residents, but also receive all the preferential treatment offered to Asgard's divine warriors. Even more alluring, children born in Asgard can enjoy the same benefits as indigenous residents without any conditions.

Graduates of the Advanced Division receive direct access to the same treatment as native residents of Asgard. This means they receive a higher level of preferential treatment and respect. Of course, those who advance to the rank of Advanced Divine Warrior receive even better benefits. For example, they are granted the right to bring their immediate family members to settle in Asgard, effectively granting them an Asgard "green card." This allows their families to settle down and thrive in this mysterious and beautiful place.

However, not everyone enjoys such generous treatment. The families of elite warriors and those of junior and mid-level divine warriors who arrive in Asgard are granted only temporary residency. The duration of their stay depends entirely on the contributions of each family head to Asgard. Only through continuous effort and dedication can one earn greater privileges and status. This strict hierarchy and incentive system fosters competition and vitality in Asgard, giving everyone the opportunity to pursue a better life through their own strengths.

As soon as the news broke, citizens from the five Nordic nations responded enthusiastically. They yearned to become part of Asgard and secure a better life for themselves and their families. Consequently, waves of elites flocked to Asgard, bringing new vitality and hope to Asgard. Those chosen, filled with dreams and aspirations, entered the Asgard Academy. Here, they would undergo rigorous training and education, striving to become exceptional divine warriors to defend Asgard. Over time, Asgard's population grew, and its strength grew. In the future, under the leadership of Alberich, it would embark on an even more glorious journey.

The happiest person among them was undoubtedly Surtur, the Herdsman God Warrior. He was the most staunch supporter of Alberich's decision. After all, among all the God Warriors, he was the only one from outside. He was keenly aware of the rejection and distrust of the other God Warriors. This feeling prevented him from truly integrating into Asgard and made him unwilling to easily defect as in the original story. However, Alberich's proposal was like a ray of light shining into Surtur's heart. Although it was only open to the five Nordic countries, it was enough to make him extremely excited. He felt as if he had finally found a place to rely on, and his heart, which had been gradually cooling, began to thaw...
