The Celestials then further explained the things they know about this altar and the ceremony that needed to be completed.
According to higher-ups of the Creed, the otherworldly beings already have an anchor in this world and only needed to create a safe passage for them to enter this world…
The Ceremony will do that job and as they speak right now, the otherworldly beings should be entering this world now…
This news suddenly brought gloominess into the atmosphere...
Celestials 36 sighed as she explained everything she knows.
"However even if they get here, we heard that they will be weakened during their entry… Just like how Celestial Beings like us have weakened a lot, those beings will similarly suffer from the abundant amount of Mana in the surroundings. Any non-natives would suffocate from the Mana they'll breathe… Adapting here will probably take two to three years… If we can't find them at that time, they'll be difficult to deal with even with the help of Celestials."
"Two to three years, huh… Do you think Phoebe and the rest of the members of the Creed that were here are aware of the location of the altar they used?" Vincent calmly asked.
He already heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that they still have some time. After all, if aliens really descended now, they'll be in big trouble.
"I'm not sure… But I believe there is only a small chance that she knows… After all, she was still sent here to the enemy territory… No matter how strong she was, the higher-ups would certainly restrict this information from being leaked. Everyone knows that the Star Garden Peak is known for mind techniques… Mind Reading and Hypnosis can be easily used by the Sages of this Organization… If they captured someone…"
Vincent nodded in understanding. Even if she didn't finish her words, he knows that the Star Garden Peak will indeed be the best detectives if they captured the right person.
Perhaps, the reason why the Peak believed that Joran was still in the process of opening the gate was because of this Mind Reading ability. It is also their bane if the higher-ups of the Creed know about this… Perhaps, the Creed allowed some people to be captured and leaked a piece of false information in the process unknowingly…
"I understand… In any case, this is also our chance to deal with the members of the Creed… Since they are scattered as well, this will be an opportunity for us. With our group, we can deal with anyone that will come here to save Joran." Vincent said with determination.
He can't just allow this enemy organization to leave this place… They have conspired against the whole of humanity and they must be stopped at all costs.
If Vincent's group leaves now, they might lose their best chance to kill the members of the Creed… After all, these teams have also faced other Manipulators sent by the Star Garden Peak. They shouldn't be at their hundred percent capabilities right now.
Nerissa looked at Vincent carefully. He was indeed correct so she really appreciates his decisiveness in this situation.
"Thank you, Vincent… Don't worry, if Sage Vivian noticed that we're still staying here, she will give the order to scout this place… She might have even realized our plans by now. Once we returned, she will greatly reward you for such contributions…"
Vincent smiled after hearing this… He had long heard about this contribution system of the Star Garden Peak and he's really interested in it.
To be specific, he wanted a Cultivation Method that will allow him to reach the Diamond Tier!
Although he already received the Skill Book for Platinum Tier, there was no way he would miss a chance to obtain something even better. If killing the members of the Creed will allow him to acquire the technique, then he would gladly do so.
Vincent contained his excitement as he faced Nerissa seriously.
"That's good. Then, do you want to use this Rifle? You should've seen how powerful it was. With this weapon, I'll be more at ease that you can protect yourself from the enemies."
Vincent said as he gave one of his Rifles in his inventory…
"Thank you… I will use it well. Can you teach me how to use it?" Nerissa asked.
Of course, Vincent agreed to this as he also gave two more extra magazines to Nerissa… He also gave a few more magazines to the others since they already emptied their rounds a while ago.
After a few minutes, Nerissa learned how to use the Rifle and the four other Celestials looked at her with a hint of envy…
'Do they want to use it as well? Unfortunately, I don't have any rifles and extra magazines left… I didn't bring enough…' Vincent mused as he noticed their gazes.
He can only look away and browse his Interspatial Ring to see suitable weapons for the four new Celestials working for him… Their weapons were destroyed or in extremely terrible condition so they aren't really ready to fight.
In the end, Vincent gave them a mix of Epic Grade and Pseudo-Legendary Grade weapons and equipment to increase their chance of survival.
Unfortunately, since he's lacking some decent items that he could hand over, they were only items that were previously Uncommon or Rare that were turned into their current grade by his System's Ascension Ability.
Although they look sturdy, they didn't have the uniqueness of an Epic Grade or the mysterious aura of the Pseudo-Legendary Grade.
It was quite deceiving…
Nevertheless, when the Celestials equipped them, they were surprised to feel the hidden power hidden in these pieces of equipment.
Vincent didn't have the time to receive their praises as he spoke…
"Alright… I will set up a Formation Art in the surroundings to ensure that no one will escape from our encirclement."
"I will help you… I have learned a bit from Sage Vivian… Ah! Before that, I have a question for these Celestials…" Nerissa said as she looked at Number 36.
Her tone suddenly changed and her voice was firm…
"Can you at least tell us why Joran beheaded those three Diamond Tier Manipulators? We can't even make a proper burial for them… Is it because he's bearing a grudge or is this a tradition or maybe a hobby?"
The Celestial didn't answer immediately… She looked at Vincent first and after seeing him nod, she answered…
"It's not a tradition or a hobby. The Creed is collecting the heads of Diamond-Tier Cultivators in an attempt to create a Sentient Magic Artifact…"
