Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"What do you think? Should I bring the three of you?" Vincent asked.

He is currently in his room together with the three Celestial Beings and of course, Yulia joined them since she has to know what their decision is as Vincent will have to leave the management of this city development in her hands.

Luna already mentioned that she feels something off about their invitation.

Since she was already informed of the 15th Tower's past deeds, she knows that these magicians were certainly not friendly with Celestial Beings.

As a matter of fact, she believes that they see their race as some experimental subject that they wanted to obtain.

Instead of helping their race, it can be said that they were a menace to their race. Although they weren't originally from here, it wasn't like they were thinking of controlling this planet. As a matter of fact, they were protecting it right now after the deities of this land mistaken them as the real enemies…

Luna obviously didn't like these people who doesn't care about Celestials.

"Can't we just siege that place instead? With the three of us, including Krusk, I think we should be unstoppable, right?" Luna asked.

She had just found out how capable Krusk was and knows that although he's not able to threaten the Overseer yet, he can certainly be an unstoppable figure against other Mana Practitioners.

Nevertheless, Vincent immediately rejected this idea. After all, this is an Immortal Project they were talking about… Just its name is already suspicious. If the Tower have already created an immortal, he wanted to see it first before engaging it in battle.

He also wanted to know how they started this project and what's the limit of this mysterious leader…

Lastly, he wanted to know if they have some sort of secret backers. He just couldn't believe that these magicians would just randomly think of dissecting a Celestial Being and transplanting their organs to some other humans.

Well, there might be some crazy researchers that might attempt this but it's certainly difficult to hunt a Celestial Being. They would also not willingly accept dying at the operating table. They would surely fight with all their might just to survive…

"If they have something in that tower that can suppress Celestial Beings, it will be very dangerous to the three of you. The risk is too high…" Vincent muttered as he needs to consider this possibility.

He only agreed to Bertram's suggestion of bringing the Celestial Beings a while ago just to make them leave.

He doesn't have to follow it at all since he can just reason out that they have some urgent matters to attend to.

Yulia sighed as she realized the graveness of this matter. If something happened to these three, their city development would certainly have a huge setback and Vincent would not keep quiet about this. There might be some sort of war that will happen once the Celestials were captured.

"How about asking your Master? Ask him for his opinion…" Yulia asked.

"Ugh… He might even be the mastermind of collecting Celestial Beings. I can't carelessly ask him about it." Vincent replied.

He can actually tell that their Master doesn't care about these things after talking with him for a long time. However, Ignacy may just be feigning his ignorance.

At this point, Tara finally spoke.

"Aren't you just worried that we might get captured or something might happen to us? Then we just need to make enough preparations…" Tara said as she continued explaining her plan…

Of course, this heavily involves Vincent's ability to modify items for them.

If they possess enough items that could protect themselves, then they shouldn't be too worried even if there are traps laid out for them…

Furthermore, Vincent can consider bringing only Luna inside, leaving Tara and Rem outside the Tower to monitor the surroundings. If something came up, the two outside can just try to put a hole in the tower to pull them out.

Well, it was an exaggeration but this is a good start.

The five of them started discussing their plan for almost an hour before Vincent started to busy himself… He even ordered Yulia to communicate with the One Sea Merchant Union and purchase all Magic Beasts Core they could get with their money…

He needed that additional 50% chance to Transcend some crucial items before they visit the 15th Tower!

His full Pseudo-Celestial Energy capacity is only 2,090 units. It means that he can only transcend 20 times which is certainly a very small number.

He has to obtain Magic Nucleus as much as he can so he can at least get a higher chance of success once he decided to transcend some of his magic tools.

'I only have five tries on each item, I can't carelessly Transcend important magic tools or they'll just break. I'll probably have to use up all my Energy Cards this time…' Vincent mused as he started taking out all the items he was planning to Transcend in preparation for his participation in the Immortal Project…

There were a total of 16 items here and some of them haven't reached their Ascension limits yet so he decided to Ascend them for now while he was waiting for the Magic Beasts Cores.

***

Three days had passed before they completed all the preparations they needed.

They were late for a day but it doesn't really matter since Bertram already mentioned that they'll be waiting for all possessors of the Immortal Stone before they begin the project.

Currently, Vincent's group is heading to the 15th tower using their Vermillion Hawk.

This is their fastest flying vessel so it was natural to use this as their main airship.

Aside from the three Celestial Beings, Yasin and Krusk joined them. Their main force is basically here and their land will be vulnerable so Vincent had to ask for his senior sister to protect his land in the meantime. With his current wealth and various high-ranking weapons, she immediately agreed and sent her elite army to help Yulia manage their territory while they are away.

Soon, they arrived at the vicinity of the 15th Tower and were shocked at the site of the Black Tower.

"What is this?" Yasin couldn't help but gasp after seeing the tower.

Dark clouds were above the Black Tower and so many arcs of lightning building up across the dark sky. It didn't just cover the tower but perhaps its whole 3-kilometer radius! The arcs of lightning almost seemed like a river of stars! Perhaps a river of lightning!

It is such a magnificent sight if seen from another point of view but also scary for the people living below this dark sky.

Vincent squinted his eyes as he didn't expect this phenomenon to happen. His confidence heading to the tower had certainly dived down after being welcomed by such bizarre weather.
