No wings, no soul, is there such a thing?
Athena frowned slightly, feeling slightly disappointed.
I thought that Russell was the first to perfectly forge the suit and form a system of his own. Hephaestus was also influenced by his design and would have unique insights. However, the results were not as satisfactory as he failed to see through the real shortcomings of the design.
However, when Athena tried to think about Russell's sun god suit, she found that after removing the wings, it was indeed indescribably weird, as if something was missing.
It’s true, without wings, there is no soul.
Why is this happening?
Athena didn't quite understand this truth. She was confident that she would not lose to anyone else in terms of art appreciation. It was attributed to the fact that the wings were the icing on the cake, adding holiness and majesty to the gorgeous Sun God suit. They complement each other to make it even more perfect.
"Athena, the battle suit Hephaestus designed for you is very good. I can guarantee that it is more thoughtful than Aphrodite's one."
Russell made up for it with a knife, and felt that it was not enough, so he inserted another knife into his ribs: "By the way, have you seen the design drawings of Hephaestus's Vulcan suit?"
Athena's face remained unchanged, her eyes looked calm, and she didn't reply.
Russell shrugged and continued: "The design of this battle suit is good, but I can guess the reason for your dissatisfaction. Just a simple question, do you want the battle suit of the goddess of war, or the suit of the goddess of wisdom?"
This is a great question!
Athena's eyes lit up, this was why she was dissatisfied with Hephaestus's design.
Although the battle uniform was majestic and gorgeous, it was stunning, but its pursuit of nobility was self-defeating and inconsistent with her own temperament, making it unsuitable for her to wear.
Athena even felt that the battle suit Hephaestus designed for her was more in line with Hera's temperament and should be worn by the Queen of Heaven.
"Russell, can I see the suits you designed for Zeus and Aphrodite?"
"That's right. Which one of us is following the other? It's definitely okay for you to speak!"
Party A asked to see the design drawings. Russell had no questions and took out the drawings and handed them to Athena.
"You know Aphrodite very well. This Cupid suit matches her perfectly."
Athena affirmed that she knew Aphrodite very well. She seemed to be loose and casual, hooking up with someone all day long, but in fact she was arrogant, competitive and very possessive.
The God of Love does not love others, but lets others love her. In Athena's view, Aphrodite has never really loved anyone. Men are just playthings to her. Her love for the new and dislike of the old can be called Zeus among goddesses.
Unlike Zeus, she was so beautiful that seductive men would come to her door and put their heart and soul into pleasing her.
Like Ares!
Russell took back the drawings: "Okay, you have finished reading the design drawings. To answer the previous question, wisdom or war, which one do you want your suit to focus on?"
"all I want!"
What a standard answer, and she is worthy of being a representative figure among strong women.
Russell raised his eyebrows and made a death sentence for Big Brother in his heart. It is impossible for a licking dog to win Athena's heart in this life, not because he is ugly, has a wife, and does not pay attention to appearance...
Well, Russell stopped reading the verdict. Not to mention the main reasons, these few clauses alone would make Hephaestus dead.
"is it hard?"
Seeing that Russell didn't speak for a long time, Athena frowned slightly: "If you don't mind, I think I have some knowledge in design, maybe I can..."
"No, I don't need others to interfere with my work."
Russell waved his hand, arrogantly rejecting Athena's request to form a team, and drew a sketch with his hand.
Athena said no more and stood next to Russell, looking intently at the gradually taking shape of the design.
The original design concept of Hephaestus is directly related to the current era. The overall focus is on simplicity and practicality, and the appearance is grand but not gorgeous enough.
Influenced by Russell's design philosophy, while adhering to practicality, he did not forget to add gorgeous beauty, and the suits he designed were impeccable.
But it depends on who it is. If it is other gods, they will definitely be very happy to get the battle suit design. Athena and Aphrodite are different. The two arrogant goddesses are not willing to be mediocre. They want the best and the most. Suitable for yourself.
Also, the battle clothes designed by Hephaestus could not highlight the feminine beauty of women. The battle clothes he designed for the two goddesses could also be worn by Athena and Aphrodite.
Too manly!
Soon, a gleaming golden women's battle suit covering the whole body took shape.
The battle suit is close to the whole body, with smooth lines and beautiful shapes. The elongated battle skirt is divided into several pieces. The shoulder armor is not as flamboyant as the Sun God's battle suit, and wraps around the shoulders to hang down naturally.
Noble and gorgeous, it's like changing a banquet dress into golden armor, but it also has the unique charm of a female war goddess.
When she first saw this, Athena was not very satisfied. When Russell added a pair of plump golden wings and a golden shield, she nodded slightly in affirmation.
"Not even close..."
Russell's design of Athena's suit is completely copied from the one in "Saint Seiya". The finishing touch is the scepter of the goddess of wisdom. This is the most important thing.
Without this scepter, Athena is at best a golden saint with wings, on the same level as Sagittarius.
The front end of the scepter is surrounded by the wings of a dove of peace, with olive branch and leaf patterns, which is extremely sharp, symbolizing the use of force to defend peace.
Sure enough, when Russell changed Athena's usual spear into a scepter, he clearly heard Athena's breathing become heavier.
Brother... No, little brother, just licking is not enough. Different women have different strategies. The only way is to do what they like.
Russell didn't ask any questions and directly handed the design to Athena. The latter took it with both hands and said concisely: "I will send the materials for forging the suit immediately, double, no, triple. I want it in Aphrodite." I got the suit before."
This is a woman, she has to compare everything.
"No problem, there's no problem if you get it before Zeus does."
Seeing the expression on Athena's face, Russell shrugged and explained: "When Zeus was still here, I made it clear to him that if any goddess wanted to jump in, such as Aphrodite, Artemis, or you , forging his suit will definitely be delayed.”
Athena nodded. As soon as Russell said it, she understood. Zeus himself was unclean and had no right to accuse Russell and ask him to be a gentleman.
"So, Aphrodite ranks before Zeus in forging the armor, and I rank before her?"
"That's right!"
"What about Artemis? If she comes, will she be ranked before me?" Athena instantly noticed the key element.
"That's true. I think she is interested in me, and I am also interested in her. Preferential treatment is a must."
"..."
Athena looked at Russell speechlessly, always feeling that he had something on his mind and that he had to pay something to get the suit.
As for Artemis being interested in Russell, Athena found this statement very interesting. It had no other meaning, it was just interesting.
"I'll add money."
"readily!"
Russell patted Athena on the shoulder. Instead of patting...he gave a thumbs up instead: "I like talking to smart people. I can guarantee you that you will be the first to get the suit."
"..."
Athena frowned, considering Russell's performance on the sacred mountain, she couldn't believe this.
"If you have nothing to do, please go slowly without seeing me off. I have to design other holy clothes, so I won't entertain you."
"Holy Cloth?"
Athena looked at the forging room in confusion and found a batch of forging materials in the corner and several drawings on the table.
Seeing the silver holy clothes clearly on the drawing, she frowned deeply: "You already have ten...three golden holy clothes, and you have also recruited a group of humans with powerful talents. In time, the power you control will only be in Zeus, Under Poseidon and Hades, you are superior to other main gods, and you have also shown that you are stronger than Poseidon..."
"With all due respect, continuing to expand your power is not the behavior of a smart person!"
Athena wanted to ask Russell about his true purpose, but she kept silent. She and Russell had a normal relationship, so she couldn't get the correct answer even if she asked.
"That's now, not the future."
Russell looked at Athena with a half-smile but not a smile: "I have revealed the power of the stars, and the gods are eyeing it. Due to the fact that the power is not as easy to use as the Sun God, I cannot make full use of it like me."
"But this is only for a while. Those gods who do not obey Zeus's discipline will sooner or later find the power to use the stars and forge armor similar to holy clothes to increase their power."
"Moreover, the structure of the Holy Mountain is gradually stabilizing. The power struggle in the future will not be life-and-death battles like in the past. Have you ever thought about how sharp conflicts can find an outlet?"
Athena continued to be silent, and after a long time she said: "I want to build a divine domain belonging to the goddess of wisdom and war on the earth to spread faith and protect the peace of human city-states. Can the Sun God give me some advice?"
"Strike first to gain the upper hand!"
Russell grinned, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If it's too late, the name 'God's Domain' does not belong to the goddess of wisdom and war."
"As for Zeus, he will definitely not agree with the name God's Domain..."
"There are many names. Heavenly Realm is more suitable for Zeus, the high ruler of the sky, above the divine... Are there any questions?"
"have!"
Athena looked at Russell steadily: "I want to form an alliance with you to deal with the coming new era, but I can't see through your true face and am afraid of being implicated in your reckless and crazy behavior."
"Who isn't!"
Russell leaned forward slightly and looked into Athena's eyes: "I can't see through your thoughts either. I don't know what you want or what you are waiting for."
"..."
After a long silence, Russell saw the awkward atmosphere and pointed at Ai'e who was in a daze next to him: "According to authority, she should be your subordinate, but I don't quite believe you, so from now on she belongs to me."
"Can."
Athena nodded and suddenly said: "Artemis has recently been competing with Selene for the authority of the moon goddess, and Zeus is very supportive of her."
"No wonder she didn't come..."
Russell touched his chin and suddenly said: "Athena, do you want to form an alliance?"
