Saint Seiya Evil Skull

The S-ranked God Warriors who had changed their uniforms were no longer called God Warriors, but rather Combatants, a designation somewhere between God Warriors and God Warriors. Although Asgard had decreed that Combatants and God Warriors had no distinction of rank or superiority, the people below them naturally elevated the rank of Combatants wearing Combat Suit, similar to the rank between Section Officers and Section Chiefs. Although the state didn't recognize it, it was still used by the lower ranks. Because Combatants wearing Combat Suit had significantly stronger defense than God Warriors, in a matchup between the two, the Combatants wearing Combat Suit would prevail.

High demand, coupled with low production, has made the battle suits a hot commodity. Hagen and the other two from the Forge are undoubtedly highly sought-after figures in Asgard, especially for the God Warriors, who consider them their adopted parents. The battle suits are crucial to them, offering a lifespan in battle. After all, the God Warriors face constant danger during their missions. The suits' protection significantly reduces this risk. While they can't enhance their own cosmic abilities or gain access to the inherited combat techniques of the God Warriors' suits, it's still better than nothing! At the very least, their protection is impressive. Furthermore, the suits can be equipped with shields, swords, lances, and other weapons, allowing for flexible combinations. While providing defensive protection, they also offer increased lethality.

Those warriors who already possessed combat suits also had to curry favor with Hagen and the others. After all, combat suits didn't possess the self-repairing abilities of divine combat suits, which could be repaired with a little nurturing. Once a combat suit was damaged, it was truly damaged. While minor issues didn't require a rebuild, Hagen and the others would still need to repair them. This inflated Hagen's importance to the divine warriors and combatants.

Of course, the other two S-rank God Warriors, Angelo and Eriksson, who worked with Hagen on the suit, had already been warriors for a long time. After all, they were blessed with unique conditions. After years of painstaking forging, they could finally use the equipment they had crafted. How could they justify all the hard work they had endured without a set of their own? Therefore, Angelo and Eriksson specifically sought out Hagen, asking for his help in crafting the perfect suit. After all, when it came to forging, Hagen was the most skilled of the three.

Seeing that the visitor was his brother, Hagen naturally refused and was more than happy to help. So, he took out all the fine materials for them to use, and even doubled them! At the same time, Hagen also paid more attention to details when crafting the battle suits based on the characteristics of Angelo and Eriksson, making minor adjustments to the suits. These adjustments were significantly different from the standard battle suits, making them more comfortable and more convenient to wear, and faster and easier to fight.

As expected, many problems arose during the distribution of the suits. After all, as the suit's creators, Angelo and Eriksson were the first to receive them. This was only natural. They had worked hard for years, finally reaping the rewards, and having a suit tailored for them was perfectly natural. No one could object.

However, for the other S-rank God Warriors, the situation was different. In theory, they were all eligible for a combat suit, but the key was the order of priority, which was a headache. With everyone vying for it, who would want to be at the back of the queue? Why should it be given to you first? I'm the son of a bitch!

Everyone felt they should be the first to receive their uniforms, not be cut in line. To expect these big guys to follow the rules and line up was simply a fantasy. They weren't the type to obey rules easily.

The question of who gets the battle suit first led to a public outcry with Queen Hilda of Asgard, who urgently summoned Alberich to discuss the matter. Upon hearing this, Alberich said nonchalantly, "Since everyone wants to get it first, let's follow the tradition of Asgard. Whoever has the bigger fist gets first. Gather all eligible divine warriors. Those who want to get the battle suit first will compete in the arena. The order in which the battle suits are distributed will be determined by their performance in the arena. The competition will be fair, just, and open throughout. As for those who don't want to compete, after all those who have competed have been distributed, we'll draw lots to determine the order in which they receive the battle suits. That's it, let's execute it immediately!"

"Yes, Chairman, we'll arrange it right away!" the people below responded immediately.

Soon, all eligible divine warriors received the notification, and everyone reacted differently.

Some powerful divine warriors were looking forward to this competition, as they believed it was a good opportunity to demonstrate their strength; others seemed hesitant, as competitions were risky after all, and if they lost they might lose the opportunity to receive combat uniforms first.

In the arena, the God Warriors engaged in a fierce competition. Each match was spectacular, thrilling, and the audience's blood boiled. Finally, after several rounds of fierce fighting, the top-ranked God Warriors finally got their wish and were given priority to obtain the battle suits.

The divine warriors who hadn't participated in the competition drew lots to determine the order in which they would receive their battle uniforms. Although they felt somewhat disappointed, they had no choice but to accept the outcome.

The whole process was thrilling and exciting, and it also allowed the divine warriors to better understand each other's strengths.

Inside the Asgard forge, however, the scene was a different story. A frenzy of activity ensued. Hagen and his two companions, adorned with praise, even began working overtime, eager to equip the Asgardian warriors with their battle suits as quickly as possible. Over time, Hagen and his two companions' forging proficiency grew, and their efficiency soared. To further increase production efficiency, Alberich devised a solution: to have Hagen and his two companions work on an assembly line. The crucial chest armor was assigned to Hagen, the most skilled, while other components, such as the gauntlets and shin guards, were handled by Eriksson and his two companions. This approach not only significantly increased production efficiency but also ensured that each battle suit was of the highest quality.

With the KGB's generous assistance, a continuous flow of precious minerals arrived at the Asgard Forge. With this abundant supply of raw materials, Hagen and his three companions were filled with passion and drive. They toiled day and night, crafting one exquisitely detailed combat suit after another, which was quickly distributed to the various divine warriors. With the introduction of these brand-new equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Asgard's upper echelons was significantly enhanced, and the entire Asgard was revitalized.

With the help of the combat suits, the combatants' combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. They are more diligent in training and constantly hone their skills to adapt to the changes brought about by the combat suits.

This cultivation craze spread throughout the Immortal Palace, affecting not only the ordinary God Warriors but also the mid- to high-level God Warriors. They felt an unprecedented sense of urgency and competition, sparking a deep desire for greater power.

In this atmosphere, all of Asgard's S-rank God Warriors finally welcomed the long-awaited moment—receiving their own battle suits. At this moment, their lives were more reliably protected, and they were confident they could make greater contributions to Asgard and Asgard.

However, due to the assembly line production of only two types of battle suits, their styles and appearances were very similar, making them difficult to distinguish. To address this, Alberich had Hagen and three other immortals mark each battle suit with a unique number. This allowed each divine warrior to easily identify their own equipment, preventing mistakes or confusion. Furthermore, any problems could be accurately traced back to the specific individual responsible. Consequently, the divine warriors cherished their battle suits, never displaying them except in combat.

These details may seem insignificant, but they demonstrate the rigorous and responsible approach Alberich and his colleagues take to Asgard's affairs. This spirit will inspire every God Warrior to strive for ever higher realms. Over time, Asgard's strength will surely rise to new heights, becoming an unbreakable force protecting Asgard.
