Novel Bin Chapter 351 Dead Or Alive
Luna nodded in satisfaction after seeing the five Celestials praising the potions that Vincent had given. Well, she expected this much since she was also captured by Vincent through this method.
As far as they know, only the Mystic Link Serum was the type of drug or medicine capable of providing Celestial Energy to them. This is the only artificial method that they have aside from consuming the Blood Essence of Mana Practitioners.
However, because the machines needed to create these serums were already broken during the many wars against the other species, they thought that it was already impossible to recreate this serum.
The potions that they received were basically something that none of them had ever thought to help them recover their energy.
This is why the five Celestials were highly doubting their claims at first which even led to an argument.
Nevertheless, now that everything has been cleared up, Luna started to introduce themselves since their hostility had already subsided.
It\'s about time to get to know each other.
"I\'m Luna… It\'s the name given to me by Sir Vincent. I\'m Number 80 as well… This is Tara, she\'s Number 999 and--"
They didn\'t react much after knowing that she was Number 80 but, as soon as she said Tara\'s Number, they reacted differently.
"No way… Rank 999? That\'s shouldn\'t be her number…"
"That\'s not possible… Rank 999 is already dead…"
"We\'ve seen her die in the First Rapture. She died battling against one of the guardians or deities of this land…"
"That\'s right, isn\'t it weird that the lowest rank managed to survive the First and Second Rapture?"
"That\'s true…"
The Celestials said as they were confused by Tara\'s existence.
Of course, there is a hole in their argument considering how Rem, an Unnumbered Celestial managed to stay alive as well.
However, the three could understand their argument since the Numbered Celestials were basically the elites who had directly fought off against the deities of this land… If they didn\'t win against them, their deaths would be guaranteed.
"Have you really seen Number 999 die before? Perhaps she managed to survive… Tara had actually lost her memories. When she was woken up by Vincent, she barely recalls her past." Rem added as she had also seen Tara\'s mark. That number on her shoulder could not be faked.
"But…" The red-haired Celestial said wanted to argue but she stopped herself and bit her lips. She was trying to recall the past repeatedly. She\'s the only one who has a Celestial Armor among her group and seems to be their leader as well.
The others did the same but no matter how much they try to recall it, the events that they have seen were very clear.
"Number 999 fought against the yellow-haired deity of this land together with others in the Nine Hundred... I\'m sure that she was cut in half…" She muttered softly after recalling the past before she looked at the other four.
"It\'s the same thing I saw at that time…"
"I didn\'t see it happen but I saw the lower half of her body turn into ashes…" One of them added.
"Number 999 is already dead… Can we see your mark?" The leader of the five requested since she also wanted to trust Tara.
Tara, who has been silent all along even started doubting herself after hearing their claims. She was similarly confused and wanted to know the truth so she decided to cooperate.
At this rate, they might think that she\'s another species taking Number 999\'s appearance if she refused.
With this in mind, she retracted the armor on her body and only covered a part of her torso. Since the clothes given to her by Vincent were a bit tight, she can\'t just roll them up so she had to remove her elbow-length sleeves blouse.
As soon as she removed her blouse, everyone, including Luna and Rem checked the number marked on her…
They looked at it for a period of time but none of them could find any anomaly in it.
It seemed genuine no matter how they look at it. They can tell that it wasn\'t some form of replication. In the first place, only their race was capable of storing Celestial Energy within their bodies. The fact that Tara could do it just fine means that she\'s no doubt, a Celestial Being…
"You guys probably made a mistake. Perhaps the one you saw at that time was number 666 or 998 or another one that looked just like her. The battle at the time was chaotic, I\'m sure that you might\'ve missed something…" Luna can only say as the five were also unable to speak after seeing Tara\'s number.
They can only give up as they decided to just continue where they left off and introduced themselves.
The red-haired Celestial was indeed the strongest Celestial among the five and she was Number 778. The others were Number 815 and 833 while the last two were unnumbered Celestials just like Rem.
After the three "original" Celestial Beings established their authority as their seniors, they finally invited them to meet Vincent.
They were brought to the Kayser Tower where Vincent felt safer and as soon as he heard about their suspicions about Tara\'s identity, he couldn\'t help but be surprised.
"Cough! Cough! W-what?" Vincent was shocked as he looked at Tara nervously.
"I\'m a Celestial Being just like them…" Tara coldly said to Vincent after seeing his exaggerated reaction.
Realizing that he was a bit rude to his very first Celestial Being, he immediately apologized…
"Sorry, I was just surprised by their ridiculous claim. I never doubted your identity even for a second…" Vincent said confidently as he finally realized why Tara suddenly started undressing a while ago.
At that time, he ordered Calidia to make the barrier\'s appearance become a fog to stop his soldiers and himself from seeing any further.
This is why he didn\'t know what happened afterward.
"I guess they just really made a mistake… Don\'t think too much about it. It\'s not like you were really killed by the yellow-haired---Hmm? A blonde deity killed you they said?" Vincent asked as he shifted his gaze to the five to ask for confirmation.
After seeing them nod, Vincent couldn\'t help but shake his head as it seems that he has to meet Vera again.
