Chapter 282 Secrets

This sudden statement from Rem surprised not just the two Numbered Celestial Being but also Tara.

However, she immediately understood what Rem was trying to do.

"Are you also searching for a way to avoid the Overseer?" Tara followed up with another question.

This surprised the two other Celestials even more.

They looked at each other for a brief moment as they let out a rare smile.

They realized that Tara and Rem weren't newly woken up Celestials so they finally replied.

"We've also found clues about the location of Qheglena…"

"Yes… It's under the control of the Overseer. We have no choice but to go to war at this rate."

Rem took a deep breath after hearing this. She didn't know any details about the Overseer aside from what she learned from Yulia and Krusk.

As for the Overseer controlling the Qheglena, she had no idea at all. She's even thinking that the Qheglena was already destroyed through the passage of time.

"What are your plans? Recently, Vincent encountered a Xonid Race… He managed to kill it but it seems that the war is getting closer to this land."

As soon as they heard the Xonid Race appearing in this land, the two Celestials' eyes trembled.

"Those parasites are here? I thought they were already annihilated?" Celestial 910 was obviously exasperated after hearing this.

Just recalling the invasive parasite made her recall the tragedy it had caused them in the past.

"That's true… It was able to hibernate together with another celestial…" Rem then explained what she heard from Vincent.

This information is very important for the Celestials like them.

Celestial 910 and 940 know this so they similar shared what they know about the current situation of the world.

Rem smiled as this is what she wanted from the very beginning. The two were Numbered Celestials following a very strong Mana Practitioner. It means that they were most likely exposed to more important knowledge that they needed to know.

Their information exchange lasted for almost an hour before they finally decided to separate.

Rem and Tara had complicated expressions after this meeting. They just learned that more and more Celestial Beings were being taken by the Overseer!

Celestial 910 and 940 were even worried that the war might already reach this continent! After all, sending more Celestial Beings on the front line means that the situation there is getting more and more critical.

What's even more important about this is that the Overseer isn't some kind of righteous being that wanted to protect this land!

It might even be wishing for all the Celestial Beings to die!

"Hmmm… How much information do you think should we share with Vincent?" Tara asked for Rem's opinion which rarely happens.

"As long as our bindings allow us… We should just inform him as much as we can. You should've already noticed by now."

Rem mysteriously said as she looked at Vincent's room.

"I noticed… It seems that the deities of this planet are finally making their move…" Tara replied.

"Yeah… It took them a very long time… I even thought that they would wait until this land was embroiled in war."

"Considering numerous powerful species were trying to invade their land, they probably wanted to be very careful."

"Hmph! Maybe they were just injured when they tried stopping Number 1 and Number 5 or was it Number 8? Wait… My memory is a bit too fuzzy…" Rem was a bit confused as she doesn't have her full memories of the past events yet.

However, she can still somewhat recall that entering this world is not easy. They had to force the deities of this world to accept them by sending their strongest Numbered Celestials…

After that, Rem could no longer recall how they were able to beat up the Demihumans, Xonid Legion, Arkhan Legion, Thoran Empire, and Morian Collective.

"My bindings were starting to loosen up… I probably have three to four years more… I think that the Overseer will then notice my existence…" Tara suddenly revealed which alarmed Rem.

She wasn't expecting her to reach this state so soon.

"This… Isn't that dangerous? Even if you get the minimal requirement to rejoin the war. You'll just be cannon fodder. It's better to avoid that Overseer until you fully assimilated yourself with your new abilities." Rem voiced her opinion.

Indeed, Celestials like them were previously unable to use complex techniques like creating elements or controlling their Energy like an extension of their hands.

They would just previously rely on their weapons and pieces of equipment to fight against their enemies.

However, it is completely different now after they learn how the Demihumans use their mystical powers. They also discovered the secrets of mana and artifacts. They were no longer clueless about various skills or mystical abilities. They can even accept these new things and learn them to get stronger.

They weren't bound by the rules to stop themselves from learning new things anymore. However, what was stopping them right now is the Overseer who didn't want them to reach a certain level of strength…

Being taken by the Overseer is definitely not a good thing as they would just be sent to die on the battlefield.

Rem and Tara sighed as they were unsure of their future as well. Currently, they are just doing their best to be informed and to regain all their memories.

They also wanted to get stronger because they wanted to survive.

Nevertheless, for some reason, they feel that following Vincent would make them in a better position in the future. This young man is just too mysterious so they still have hope for whatever the future holds for them.

***

On the next day, Rem and Tara met the two other celestials like they don't know each other. Vincent didn't notice anything amiss as he just brought the two to the gathering hall.

"Rem. This set is for you. Tara, take this one instead…" Vincent suddenly said as he handed over a bag to Rem and a small pouch to Tara.

"Hmm? What's this?" Rem asked as she took the bag from Vincent.

She opened it up and confirmed that they were filled with various potions that could increase her Celestial Energy.

On the other hand, Tara only received three bottles from Vincent.

Rem was confused.

"You don't want me to get stronger?" Tara asked trying to understand Vincent's plans.
