The five Bronze Saints were discussing animatedly, all expressing their gratitude to Shin.
Because Shin and the others were present, Seiya didn't reveal the shocking news he had learned from Ikki—that they were all brothers.
Instead, after expressing his thanks, he prepared to continue searching for the remaining parts of the Gold Cloth.
"You're going to search for the Gold Cloth? Leave it to me." Shin extended his hand, and with his super vision and a portal, he quickly retrieved the various parts of the Gold Cloth.
Speaking of which, these parts of the Gold Cloth were truly hideous. Compared to the original, artistic Sagittarius Cloth, this was just a golden plate armor, wasn't it?
It was said that Mitsumasa Kido, to prevent detection by the Sanctuary and the Pope's forces, had modified the Gold Cloth—emmmm...
This was the Gold Cloth, said to be "indestructible since the Age of Mythology." How did Mitsumasa Kido, an ordinary man, manage to modify the entire Gold Cloth?
While thinking, Shin absorbed all the parts of the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.
Immediately, the disguise of the original Sagittarius Gold Cloth completely vanished as it merged with him, and the original Sagittarius Gold Cloth appeared on Shin's body.
He closed his eyes, continuously browsing the memories within the Gold Cloth's consciousness, while Mu's expression suddenly became somewhat uneasy.
As for the Bronze Saints, they were all a bit confused. What was going on? Was that the Gold Cloth they were looking for? It didn't look like it at all!
A moment later, Shin opened his eyes.
Within the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, there were not only memories of past Sagittarius Saints' battles and their Cosmos burning to the limit, but also the memories of the previous Sagittarius Gold Saint, Aiolos!
Not only that, he also knew how the old man Mitsumasa Kido had managed to transform the Sagittarius Gold Cloth—it was actually very simple: he had asked Mu to completely redesign the entire Gold Cloth!
Shin had been thinking so much, and it turned out to be Mu's doing.
Seeing Shin's gaze directed at him, Mu knew he probably couldn't hide it anymore, so he just gave an awkward smile.
"Is this the Sagittarius Gold Cloth? It feels completely different." Seiya ran over, looking left and right, like a restless child.
In reality, he was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. Among these Saints, besides Ikki who was a bit older, the others were probably around fourteen or fifteen.
This behavior was probably his true personality.
Shin shook his head, "This Gold Cloth has been redesigned by someone. What you saw before was just an illusion; this is its true form.
Otherwise, the Sanctuary Pope's people would have probably already recovered this Cloth."
As he spoke, Shin continuously absorbed and integrated the Cosmos insights of previous generations from the Gold Cloth, steadily elevating the entire Gold Cloth's Cosmos.
Seiya and the others initially admired the Gold Cloth, but as the Cosmos grew stronger and stronger, the expressions on their faces completely changed.
"Is this the power of the Gold Cloth? It's incredibly strong! Wait, if that's the case, aren't you a Gold Saint, Shin?" Hyoga exclaimed in admiration, then suddenly thought of something and spoke up.
Among the five Bronze Saints, Hyoga and Shiryu were both apprentices of Gold Saints.
However, Shiryu's master, Dohko, sat on Mount Lu every day pretending to be an old man and never wore his Gold Cloth.
Therefore, among those present, only Hyoga had witnessed the true might of a Gold Saint.
Now, he felt that Shin, wearing the Gold Cloth, was almost on par with a Gold Saint, and even vaguely, the intensity of his Cosmos had surpassed the limits of a Gold Saint, reaching another dimension.
Hyoga's feeling was quite accurate. This was already the second Gold Cloth, and with his experience, Shin had long since broken through the limits of the Seventh Sense, rapidly reaching the peak of the Eighth Sense.
However, Hyoga also found Shin's Cosmos somewhat peculiar. It seemed to be entirely stimulated by the Gold Cloth, but theoretically, the Cosmos unleashed by a Cloth should be determined by the Saint wearing it, shouldn't it!?
Hyoga couldn't quite figure out what was going on. The other Bronze Saints were even more clueless; they all thought that Gold Saints were just like this and were all marveling at the power of the Gold Cloth.
"Alright," Shin shook his head.
Just as he was about to take off the Gold Cloth, several streaks of light flashed, and five Silver Saints reappeared before them.
Of course, with such a brazen outburst of Cosmos, those five Silver Saints weren't fools; they naturally had to come back and see.
As for Mu, since the five Bronze Saints had recovered, and looking at Shin's current demeanor, it was highly likely that nothing could be hidden from him anymore, so he simply stopped trying to hide.
"The Gold Cloth? A Gold Saint!" The Lizard Silver Saint shouted, his face showing surprise. "That... that's the real Sagittarius Gold Cloth!"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the other Silver Saints subtly changed, all showing a more cautious look.
Shin blinked, then directly took off the Gold Cloth: "Uh... I'm just a passerby. This Cloth was just for trying on. If you want it, feel free to take it."
After all, Mu could be considered Shin's mentor, and although he only learned a single skill, he should at least show some respect.
Since Mu had the idea of training the five Bronze Saints, Shin naturally went along with it.
"Hahahahahahaha! He actually took off the Gold Cloth! I've never seen such a fool before."
"Your only chance of winning was to use the powerful strength of the Gold Cloth to defeat us, but unfortunately, it seems you won't have that opportunity!"
"No matter who you are, secretly wearing the Sagittarius Gold Cloth is an unforgivable grave sin. Feel honored, for you shall die by my strongest technique!"
"Cloud Stone Cyclone!"
Standing at the forefront, the Lizard Silver Saint, who had a feminine appearance, babbled on for a long time, then ignited his Cosmos.
Feeling the power Shin had displayed while wearing the Gold Cloth, this guy truly put all his effort into his attack.
Seeing that Shin didn't dodge or disperse, and showed no Cosmos reaction, he was secretly delighted, and finally punched Shin, who had a helpless expression, in the head.
