The Miraculous Cloth[Kiseki no Koromo] Worn by the Gods, Kamui[Gods' Cloth:Shin I] is?
It is said that in the time of the myths, the 12 Olympus Gods worn Clothes that had a noble splendor on their bodies. The Clothes that only the gods can wear... They are called, Kamui.
Usually in Greek
Myths,
the 12 Olympus Gods are headed by the Almighty God, Zeus, and
then Hera,
Apollon, Artemis, Poseidon, Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite,
Hephaistos, Hermes,
Hestia, and Hades.
These 12 Gods all wore
the armor called Kamui which is said to emit a divine
brightness and has
an ability that the Cloth, Scale or Surplice can't compare to.
In the far era of the
myths,
because the Gods disappeared to the sky with Zeus, except for
Athena and
Poseidon, the form of the Kamui was only handed down in
fragments of oral
tradition.
[Hades of course went to his Underworld
rather
than Heaven. On page 140, it also says that,"The defensive
ability of Hades'
Surplice is said to be like an absolute barrier. Other than
the Surplice,
it is thought of that he has the defensive gear that only the
Gods have,
Kamui."]
The Cloths[Sacred
Cloth:Sei I] rejuvenated by
Athena's blood
is said to become God Cloths[God
Sacred Cloth:Shin
Sei I] which is close to the
Kamui, so today,
we can only imagine the form of the Kamui based on those God
Cloths.
According to
Poseidon's
words, soon the Olympus Gods will give a great punishment to
the humans
and descend to the land again. Will the appearance of the
Kamui wearing
12 Olympus Gods trigger a new Holy War for the Saints...?
The Goddess' and the Sea King's Kamui are?
Athena and Poseidon
each
possess the Cloth and Scale, but they are considered part of
the 12 Olympus
Gods, so it wouldn't be surprising if they originally had the
Kamui. But
why then, did they take off the Kamui and wore the Cloth and
Scale? If
these two gods do have the Kamui, will a day come where they
will wear
them again...?
When Poseidon awakens
again
from his sealed Athena's Jar, will it be related to the
descent of the
12 Olympus Gods...?
Important Events from the Era of the Gods
From oral tradition
of the
gods, called, the Hypermyth[Super
Myth:Chou
Shinwa], after the birth of the
universe by
the Big Bang, the Gods' Will[Kamigami
no Ishii]
traveled around the universe and concentrated a lot on Earth.
Life was born
and said to have evolved to the images of gods,"humans"[Ningen].
Before long, among
humans,
there appear ones who have the souls of the gods inside them,
and as each
spread their influence, it seemed, Zeus ruled the sky and
land, Poseidon
ruled the oceans, and Hades ruled the Underworld.
Among these, Zeus who
is
said to be an Almighty God, the existence of his power which
was awesome
seemed to have an ability of opposing and restrainting effect
on the world,
effectively balancing, the Sky World[Heaven:Tenkai],
the Land World[Chijyou Kai],
the Sea World[Kaikai]
and the Underworld[Meikai].
But, as Zeus entrusted
the land to Athena and the news of him and the other gods got
cut off,
it lead to disputes of the gods breaking out everywhere.
The gods wanted most
of
all, was the Land World ruled by Athena. Especially Poseidon
who was deeply
obsessed with the land. He lead the Scale wearing Marina, and
said to have
fought with Athena repeatedly.
In that Poseidon war,
Saints
were born and after going through many wars, a system of
tactics were set
and with the establishment of Sanctuary[Seiiki],
the other gods seemed to shudder at the existence of the
Saints who protect
Athena.
It has been few
thousand
years since the last of the Poseidon wars, but in that time,
all kinds
of wars had broke out over the hegemony of the Land World,
again and again,
but with the actions of Athena's Saints, the peace of the land
has been
kept continuously.
