The voice echoed within his mind, and in that moment, Jiang Chen made his decision.
His consciousness completely sank into the void of space, and the three drops of golden blood began to emit an incredibly intense brilliance, illuminating the entire void of his Cosmo. At the same time, waves of Cosmo power contained within the blood were directly bestowed upon his body.
"BOOM!"
A tremendous aura exploded in that instant, and at the same time, the Cosmo within Jiang Chen's body began to rapidly transform.
"BOOM! RUMBLE--!"
The thunderous roars echoed throughout the void of space. Countless regions of the void began to collapse, while new space began to form and spread.
In the midst of this void world, endless molecular clouds gathered.
Molecular clouds, composed of gas and dust, are typically low in density but massive in total mass. When a region within a molecular cloud reaches sufficient density, it begins to collapse, forming a dense core.
When the core's density and temperature reach a certain threshold, nuclear fusion is triggered, transforming hydrogen atoms into helium atoms and releasing vast amounts of energy.
Amid the release of this energy, the molecular clouds collapsed to their limit and began to form stars.
These stars lit up the entire starry sky.
The leftover matter from star formation gradually gathered within nearby clouds of dust, and through collisions and gravitational pull, these dust particles fused into ever-larger rocky bodies, eventually growing to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Once this size was reached, they gained enough gravity to attract more material and rapidly expand in volume.
As these bodies grew larger, they began to transform in shape, changing from irregular forms to spherical or ellipsoidal structures. Due to the intense friction generated by their rapid movement, the rough edges were worn down, becoming smooth and round.
And so, planets began to form.
Originally, the Cosmo within Jiang Chen's body contained only the 88 complete constellations of Athena. But now, with the release of divine power from the three drops of god-blood, new galaxies began to be born.
And this speed of creation far exceeded anything before.
In the blink of an eye, the galaxies within his body had more than doubled in number and were still continuing to expand. As the galaxies expanded, the most direct result was that the majestic Cosmo contained within them also began to rise at an astonishing rate.
In the void of space…
Time passed silently.
Of the three drops of divine blood, one gradually turned translucent and then completely disappeared.
Jiang Chen's body trembled slightly.
But his consciousness remained immersed in the ever-expanding Cosmo and he did not awaken.
Time continued to flow in silence.
Within the void…
There was no sense of time. No sense of anything.
In the outside world,
The Sanctuary.
Starlight surged around Jiang Chen's body, and high in the sky, one constellation after another began to light up.
At first, it was the 88 Constellations of Athena.
These constellations interwove and quickly transformed into starlight, which poured down upon Jiang Chen's body like a celestial river. In that moment, the space around Jiang Chen seemed to transform into a sea of starlight.
But even that wasn't the most important change.
The truly crucial change was that…
In the sky above, it was no longer just the 88 Constellations of Athena that were appearing. Outside of Athena's 88 Constellations, new galaxies had also begun to connect, and at the same time, the same starlight started descending from above.
"Look!"
"What is that?"
"My god, those... those look like new constellations!"
"How could this be?"
"How can other constellations appear in Athena's sky?"
Within the Sanctuary, one Saint after another cried out in shock. Especially when they saw those completely unfamiliar galaxies, the emotional turbulence was immense.
After all, this was the Sanctuary, this is Athena's domain. In theory, it should be impossible to see constellations beyond the canonical 88. Yet at this moment, they were seeing exactly that.
And it left them stunned.
Only those at the very center of the endless flames, Jamil and the shadowy figure beside him, understood what was happening.
"This… this is going to be a serious problem." The man beside Jamil let out a bitter laugh as he spoke with a trace of helplessness in his expression.
"What exactly is that guy doing? Didn't Lady Athena seal him off? He… he's still trying?" Jamil couldn't help but speak with a dark expression on his face.
He had thought that his repeated warnings, combined with Athena's prior intervention, would be enough to stop Jiang Chen from making another attempt at such foolishness.
But to his surprise, Jiang Chen tried again, and worse, Athena was no longer here at this moment to oversee this. Without Athena erecting the protective barrier, the Power of Omega would undoubtedly sweep across the entire Earth, attracting who knows how many Gods.
Forget protecting Jiang Chen, even Athena herself might not be able to shield him.
"At this point… no one would willingly give up. I'll ask Lord Hephaestus not to act." The man beside Jamil took a deep breath before speaking solemnly.
"It's useless. This time, even the God King Zeus might appear. And don't forget, there are still plenty of Gods on Earth. They'll come too." Jamil shook his head as he spoke, his expression becoming ever more serious.
His gaze drifted, unconsciously, toward the forging furnace.
The man beside him fell silent.
Of course, Jiang Chen knew nothing about what the others were saying or thinking. His body was fully immersed in the transformation of his Cosmo. With the support of the three drops of divine blood and his own understanding of the known universe, his Cosmo had already begun expanding toward the grand multiverse.
From Huaxia (China), Egypt, Norse, Mayan, to Indian mythologies, one system of constellations after another began to take shape within him.
And as his Cosmo became more complete, Jiang Chen faintly felt a mighty force beginning to stir within it.
"The Power of Omega…"
Amidst the void, Jiang Chen walked across the stars, feeling the power forming deep within his Cosmo, a flicker of joy appeared in his expression. Even though he had anticipated this moment, the actual birth of Omega's power was still so thrilling that he couldn't help his excitement.
Omega...
This was the power of Omega.
In the entire Saint Seiya world, aside from the nonexistent Ninth and Tenth Senses, and the power belonging to the Supreme Deity Chronos, there was no power that could rival Omega.
In the original story, Kōga received the Cosmo of all his comrades, and his Pegasus Omega Sacred Cloth underwent a higher evolution.
