Chapter 473 - 465: Conclusion
The Saint Avatars differ in strength entirely depending on the divine nature and power the deity is willing to invest.
Take Tiamat and Bahamut for example, their strongest Saint Avatars have a challenge level of 30, but the weakest ones are only on par with adult dragons.
Especially Tiamat’s weaker avatars have a challenge level of only 13, specifically used to convey her holy intentions and enact evil revenge on those who thwart her schemes. She always travels with a large group of guards to protect and serve her, and has even had a companion among mortals, once giving birth to a half-dragon warrior.
Bahamut’s situation is even more amusing; one of his avatars only has a challenge level of 12. Summoned by a pact from his believers in the otherworld, he was then dominated by an evil magician and sent to have good dragons attack human settlements, eventually enlisting the help of a trusting young silver dragon.
The Ocean Goddess’ investment in her Saint Avatar was undoubtedly massive; without Fatian Xiangdi and Nine Breath Qi, it was uncertain if she might have suffered a crushing defeat. Leon, having triumphed over the Ocean Goddess’ Saint Avatar, was absolutely proud.
In great spirits, he did not employ the Long Rainbow Escape but chose to leisurely fly back to the Volcanic Island, reminiscing about his recent victory along the way, thinking about how impressive he already was despite not being an adult yet, and imagining how much more formidable he would become once he reached adulthood and prime age...
Leon took a bit of time to return to his Volcanic Island and dove down to the observation deck atop the volcano. Upon landing, he habitually transformed into the more maneuverable human form, watching as dragons of various forms turned into human forms and walked towards him. He had expected a warm welcome, but surprisingly the scene was quite silent.
Transformed into a pink-haired girl, Salovis bit her lower lip, opened her mouth but closed it again, unable to call out "brother" for some reason. It was as though an inexplicable barrier had formed between them.
