Essence ofAthena's Saints

An ivory bottle with golden engravings is presented before you.

• By drinking this essence, you have awakened the use of your Inner Cosmos and have gained a body with the fighting prowess and knowledge equivalent to that of a Bronze Saint. By burning your Cosmos, you can unleash this destructive energy to destroy your foes at an atomic level, move at the speed of sound, or launch a hundred attacks in an instant. In addition, Cosmos is capable of harming souls and erasing them from the cycle of reincarnation. Even the substitution of lost senses can be accomplished with the use of Cosmos. The potential power of the Cosmos only increases as you increase your mastery over your cosmos by being able to burn greater amounts of it. Finally, your skills will continuously improve as a fight progresses and your strength will increase every time you are knocked down.

• As you participate in more life or death battles and your cosmos burns higher, you will eventually awaken to the power to create miracles. This is an ability that generates unlimited power and creates infinite potential that surpasses even the gods. It is the power to make the impossible possible. With this power, you are capable of defying fate and create a power capable of defeating undefeatable foes. Should you use your cosmos to heal someone, it is even possible to revive them even if their soul was lost.

• You also gain the protection of a guardian constellation in addition to the Zodiac that you were born under. With it, you are naturally disposed to learning techniques of that constellation and wearing their respective clothes. In addition, you have received a mental catalog of every technique that has appeared in Saint Seiya for you to eventually recreate.

• You have a powerful sixth sense and willpower that allows you to resist and break free of mental intrusion and illusions and as well as power through immense pain. With enough mastery, you will eventually be able to awaken mental powers such as telekinesis, telepathy, and even teleportation. In the event that you lose consciousness, your cosmos will begin to burn and move your body independently of thought and act on instincts to eliminate any perceived threat. You can be in a coma and still appear to save your friends because you sensed them in danger.

• You have also gained a talent for fighting. Any technique used against you will have their secrets revealed to you if you survive it the first time and you are capable of developing a counter to it.

• You also gain an immense level of charisma when acting virtuous and honorable. This manifest with you being able to inspire hope and courage within the hearts of allies and respect from opponents. Opponents will refuse to use underhanded tactics so long as you remain honorable.

• With even further training and hardships, you may unlock senses higher than that of the sixth.

  • The Seventh Sense is considered the Ultimate Cosmos and mastering it will denote you the strength equivalent to that of a Gold Saint and gain the right to wear one of the Twelve Gold Clothes. Being able to move at the speed of light, burning your cosmos infinitely, recovering the use of lost senses, and healing from physical injuries is easy with mastery of the Seventh Sense.

  • The Eighth Sense is called the Arayashiki and it is related to reincarnation. Normally awakening is when the human body has died and lost the use of the previous Seven Senses. With the mastery of this sense, you have taken control of your reincarnation and are able to retain your consciousness. In addition, you are no longer subject to the laws of any afterlife and are able to move freely. Unfortunately, awakening this sense is near impossible while alive. Only by burning your cosmos to the maximum and willingly approaching death will you be able to awaken this sense.

  • The Ninth Sense is called the Supreme Virtue. Should you awaken this Sense, then you have truly become a God. The power given by awakening his Sense allows you to easily perform the Athena Exclamation technique by yourself when it normally requires Three Gold Saints to use. Your soul upon reaching this level will be truly immortal and all of your other abilities will be brought up to the level matching that of a God. In addition, you are conceptually immortal as you will embody a concept and so long as it exists, you will revive eternally. The Goddess Eris, for example, was capable of reviving because strife and discord were still present on Earth. As a God, you will radiate a divine aura that is capable of commanding any mortal to do your bidding or kill them by draining their lifeforce. At full power, your divine aura will instantly rob anyone around you of their six senses with only cosmos remaining.

• You also gain knowledge from the Ancient Mu people in the creation and repair of clothes. Mythical armors that protect a saint and divided into three grades. The weakest to strongest clothes are ranked: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. But, the armor itself it useless if the user is unable to burn the appropriate amount of Cosmos needed to even move them. In addition, should your clothes receive divine blood, they will transform into the God Clothes after being awakened by your strong cosmos.

• You may choose to be reborn in any of the Saint Seiya continuities with one-time appearance customization.
