Chapter 16: Training part 2

(sorry there is likely going to be one chapter today. I just did my math finals and I'm just too tired)

(I'm thinking about making a smut chapter with the angel Liora but idk)

After that training session I went to eat a hamburger and began to design a Gen 2 angel blueprint, the problem is I don't know what powers or what part of their biology I should upgrade.

I'm thinking of making them have a better healing factor and changing their heart core to be like a holy power generator but to do that I need to rework their divine Circuitry so it won't just blow them up.

After I finished eating I went back to The Crucible but I brought all the books about sacred gears and alchemy some of the books were written by Solomon cool dude wonder what afterlife he went to?

Now that I'm thinking about that where do angels, fallen and devils go when they die? I know devils have souls even though most of them say they don't have one. maybe it is like in supernatural a version of purgatory that everyone who goes to sleep forever.

If that is true then you can resurrect the original Lucifer or other angels that died in the great war but it is probably protected by some powerful entity like the empty. Though considering this universe is Basically porn on steroids there a good chance the entity is chill.

Anyway time to go back to studying and training 

Change of pov 3rd

Celestia sits at a golden desk in The Crucible surrounded by glowing tomes and floating holographic blueprints of Sacred Gears. Each book contains the essence of its history, mechanics, and purpose.

she first study the Core Mechanics which give the gear the power to make weapons. Sacred Gears are powered by Divine Fragments, crystalline shards of the old me energy that act as their "hearts."

The gears' unique abilities whether controlling time, creating weapons, or summoning beasts are determined by the specific rune matrix embedded within these fragments.

Balance Breaker represents a Sacred Gear syncing fully with its user's soul, allowing both to transcend their limits.

The reincarnated Goddess theorizes this is not just an evolution but an unlocking of hidden potential, akin to alchemical transmutation turning the "base" state of the user into "gold."

 'These gears were the old me attempt to bless humanity with hope, but they have become weapons of war' Celestia thought. What secrets lie beyond their current state? What happens if I refine or recreate them?"

With this question lingering, she decides to experiment delving into alchemy to enhance Sacred Gears or create entirely new ones.

First, she needs better stronger metals because most sacred gears that make armor are just crystalline magic that is why Ascalon the dragon slaying sword basically one-shots the dragon emperor's armor it is kinda like anti-magic for dragons that breaks down the hard crystalline magic to its roots because the armor is made from dragon mana.

Flipping through an ancient manuscript, she finds references to Celestial Adamantite, a long-lost divine metal that was said to be near unbreakable and highly conductive to magical energy. Luckily Heaven Forge of Aeons makes every known metal you just need to pump it full of divine power.

"If I can create a metal stronger than Celestial Adamantite, it will serve as the perfect foundation for Sacred Gears capable of withstanding the chaos out of this world." Celestia thought.

Celestia descends to the Forge of Aeons, where the Eternal Flame flickers with golden light. Determined, she gathers the rare metal Divine Adamantite a divine metal known for its durability She begins the complex process of creating the metal.

First, she needs to get rid of the Impurities in the metal. she places Divine Adamantite into the Eternal Flame, chanting an ancient alchemical incantation to purify it. Impurities are burned away, leaving a molten silver liquid that glows faintly with divine energy.

Then Adding a Dragon Heart Scale to infuse it with natural resilience and energy., she stabilizes the mixture with alchemical symbols drawn in the air using holy light. The runes glow and spiral into the molten alloy, binding the materials at a molecular level.

Next, she use Orichalcum Dust a mystical powder used in alchemy to stabilize volatile reactions. She initiates the transmutation process, turning the alloy into a new form of metal. The Eternal Flame roars and the liquid begins to crystallize into a shimmering, golden-silver alloy that radiates divine power.

Once the metal cools, she carves intricate alchemical runes into its surface, enhancing its properties. The runes are designed to amplify energy flow, making the metal not only durable but also a perfect conductor of holy and magical energy.

The metal, now called Celestium, is stronger than any known material(in this dimension). It's lightweight yet nearly indestructible, and its shimmering surface reflects divine light like a living star. When touched, it resonates with a soft hum, indicating its immense magical potential.

To test the strength and versatility of Celestium. She did an Energy Conduction Test forging a prototype Sacred Gear a pair of gauntlets imbued with holy magic.

Channeling divine light into the gauntlets, she fires a concentrated beam of energy at a distant target. The energy flow is seamless, and the target explodes in a flash of holy fire.

"Celestium surpasses my expectations. With this metal, I can create Sacred Gears that rival even the most powerful Longinus! Angels will no longer be bound by the limitations of their bodies. And we will be better prepared for the ExE gods. Celestia said passionately

After that she made the forge to auto-make the metal and send it to the Heaven research division so they can test it to the limit while also learning different things it could be used for.

With that done Celestia went back to combat training but differently, she wanted to battle a hunter that uses traps and the environment to their advantage. with that in mind, she changes the setting to fit that.

The land changes into a dense, futuristic jungle filled with glowing bioluminescent plants, cascading waterfalls, and ancient ruins scattered with glowing magical runes.

Suddenly, a glowing mana projectile arcs from the treetops, aimed directly at Celestia's head. With a smirk, she sidesteps, using a light sword in a fluid motion to deflect the energy bolt.

The Predator begins by observing from the shadows, using its mana-infused cloak to stay invisible. It scans Celestia, analyzing her energy and weaponry, noting the strange blend of paranoia and immense power.

This Hunter Predator is a unique member of its species, having integrated mana manipulation into its hunting arsenal.

This predator's Appearance is a Sleek, alien armor glowing with arcane glyphs that pulse faintly with mana. A mask that displays multiple targeting modes, now including a mana-sensing mode that detects magical energy.

A flowing mana-infused cloak, allowing it to not only blend with its surroundings but also absorb ambient magical energy. Blades and weapons engraved with runes, enhancing their durability and magical potency.

The Predator relies on its cloaking and traps, setting magical landmines in the jungle while darting from tree to tree. Celestia, unfazed, uses her heightened senses to evade most of the traps, laughing as explosions light up the jungle behind her.

The Predator, seeing an opening, leaps from the shadows, plasma wrist blades ignited and glowing with mana. Celestia meets the attack head-on, parrying with a light sword in a shower of sparks and magical energy. The clash sends shockwaves through the clearing.

Predator began talking that was being translated through its mask "Impressive prey."

Celestia while grinning said "Prey? Buddy, you're outta your league."

Celestia then used one of her handguns Ebony to shoot off the top half of the predator blade then counter-attack with the light sword the predator barely dodged in time and jumped back trying to put some space between them. Celestia then started shooting where the predator landed.

The Predator shifts tactics, summoning a mana shield to block celestia bullets while firing mana-enhanced plasma blasts. Celestia, flipping through the air with acrobatic ease, lands behind the Predator and delivers a powerful Stinger attack with the light sword, cracking the shield.

The Predator retaliates by activating a mana burst, forcing Celestia to leap back as the ground beneath her erupts in radiant energy.

With a smirk, Celestia then used mana, her form glowing with divine energy. Her speed and strength skyrocket, and she begins overwhelming the Predator with rapid strikes and energy blasts.

The Predator adapted, activating its mana-infused plasma caster to fire tracking shots. However, Celestia seeing this teleports behind it mid-attack, and bitch slaps the back of its head sending it crashing into the ruins.

The Predator, wounded but not out, channels all its remaining mana into a massive mana storm, creating a whirlwind of energy that pulls Celestia toward it. The storm amplifies its weapons, and its plasma blades grow larger and more destructive.

Celestia counters by summoning her divine power, and She charges through the mana storm, firing barrages from Ebony and Ivory while delivering devastating melee combos.

The fight reaches its climax as Celestia and the Predator clash in a final, explosive exchange celestia Judgment Cut ends that she recreated from dmc against the Predator's fully powered mana-charged strike. The jungle erupts in light and energy as the combatants deliver their final attacks.

As the dust settles, Celestia stands victorious, spinning the light sword

"Light work".Celestia laugh 

After that, she walks out of The Crucible thinking about increasing her energy reserves right she has two methods one to make a Sacred Gear to do that or the more dangerous idea to put a holy/divine energy reactor in her.
