Chapter 670: The Chaotic Mission
Natasha read the sorcerer’s mind to understand the general situation of this dimension and get the information on recent events. "These people are mad."
"What did you find out?" Banner asked.
"This dimension is ruled by a cult called Erytras, meaning worshipper of death in their language. They held a large ceremony to summon inter-dimensional beings and control them."
"Are these people crazy?" Sam asked. During his training, he learned the danger of randomly summoning interdimensional entities.
"Their plans seemed to have lured a Celestial traveling through the Blank Realm," Natasha continued.
"Is that why Arishem and the others came to this timeline?" Sam analyzed.
"It would make sense if they were searching for the cause of one of their own," Banner added.
"I think we need to hurry," Tony said. "My sensors had detected intense energy signatures, many of which are Celestials."
"It must be Arishem and the others. Give me the coordinates and I’ll take you there," Wong suggested. He then secured the sling ring on his fingers before opening the portal. The team arrived not far from the battlefield to see the spectacle. Arishem and the other Celestials were battling these colossal skeletons.
"The Celestials are holding back. Why?" Sam commented after observing the battle. The Skeletons were only Tier 6 and were boosted by their connection to this dimension. So, why could they stop the Tier 10 Celestials?
"Don’t forget they have a hostage," Natasha analyzed. It made sense for the Celestials to show restraint when their priority is rescuing their companion.
