21st Century Necromancer

The top of the Mage Tower was the highest place of a Mage Tower, where under normal circumstances, the owner of Fasta would set up a Stargazing Platform or place devices like an astrolabe used to observe the trajectories of celestial bodies, or even more exotic equipment.

Some mages would specially modify their Mage Towers to make the space at the top the weakest, making it easy to communicate with other spaces or planes, and even connect with the Star Realm and the entire Multiverse.

However, because Chen Yu's Mage Tower was located in the Necromantic Space, he didn't install equipment for observing celestial trajectories here; instead, he turned it into a special ritual site.

For Necromancers, there were many options for ritual sites: graveyards rich in death energy were great places for summoning various undead servants, the ritual rooms of Fasta could exclude any unnecessary interference, Blood Bath Pools could provide abundant blood, and sacrifice chambers could maximize the utility of offerings...

And the top of the Mage Tower could condense the power of the whole Mage Tower, and with specially arranged devices, it could draw energy from other planes, providing the Necromancer with an inexhaustible and mighty source of energy.

If it were just an ordinary ritual or crafting undead servants, Chen Yu certainly wouldn't need to use this place, but creating an Underworld Feather Angel required a massive amount of energy, which neither he nor Jounouchi Hiromi could shoulder on their own, so he had to rely on the power of the Mage Tower in order to transform his original body into an Underworld Feather Angel.

"So I need to borrow the power of the Mage Tower to change the form of your original body and transform it into an Underworld Feather Angel," said Jounouchi Hiromi as she placed her "Crimson Hymn" on the ritual table that had been prepared earlier. The Necromancers' Book of Inheritance was both a spellbook and often an important spellcasting tool: "But after your body is transformed into an Underworld Feather Angel, shouldn't it develop its own consciousness and create a new soul? Mr. Chen Yu, how will your soul return to this body? Do you need to extract the soul of the Underworld Feather Angel first?"

"No need, that operation is too cumbersome," said Chen Yu, who was also ready by now. Although the abilities of his backup body had not yet recovered, this no longer affected other tasks: "I've adjusted the process of creating the Underworld Feather Angel. In the final moment when the Underworld Feather Angel is shaped, the power of the Ritual Magic Circle will channel my soul into it, and his about-to-be-born consciousness and soul will be absorbed by me."

Having said this, Chen Yu already stepped into the corresponding position of the Ritual Magic Circle and instructed Jounouchi Hiromi: "So Hiromi, you must not make any mistakes when you control the ritual. I must have my soul channeled into this body at the very moment the Underworld Feather Angel is formed and before its consciousness is born. If there is any error, by being too early my soul will be treated as a material, and by being too late, I will have to compete with the soul of a Divine Creature for the body, which would make things incredibly complicated. So the timing must be exact."

"I got it!" Jounouchi Hiromi responded loudly and then started the ritual.

Immediately, the Negative Energy in the entire Necromantic Space formed into thick black clouds converging towards the Mage Tower, turning into a gigantic whirlpool with the tower's summit at its center.

With the infusion of vast Negative Energy and the Necromantic Power extracted from the Nether Plane via the dimensional portal opened by Jounouchi Hiromi, Chen Yu's body atop the Ritual Magic Circle began to shrink, but the sense of divinity on him grew ever more intense. A pair of gray wings were stretching out from his back – the Underworld Feather Angel was gradually taking shape.

And with the spread of its wings, a set of lead-gray armor with a hood gradually materialized on the Underworld Feather Angel's body. The armor was inscribed with purple inscriptions, which lent the entire suit a aura of sanctity and mystery, while also emitting an aura called death.

As the Underworld Feather Angel slowly took form, both Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but tense up, for the most crucial moment was fast approaching.

"Hiromi! Pay attention!" Chen Yu called out to Jounouchi Hiromi, and after taking a deep breath himself, he closed his eyes and prepared.

Hearing Chen Yu's reminder, Jounouchi Hiromi nodded slightly at him, making difficult adjustments to her control of the Ritual Magic Circle. She reined in the massive energy within the Magic Array and tuned it to the program that Chen Yu had prepared, ready to reintroduce his soul into the nearly completed Underworld Feather Angel.

Though she possessed the bloodline of a giant dragon, giving her an edge over Chen Yu in the control of sheer power, Jounouchi Hiromi's lack of experience meant she still fell short on fine control. As the energy requiring control continued to surge, burdened Jounouchi Hiromi had no choice but to transform into her full Half-Dragon form to augment her control.

Jounouchi Hiromi was always reluctant to use her complete Half-Dragon form. Unlike her usual Half-Dragon form, which allowed her to maintain most of her human traits, her body would be entirely covered in scales in her full transformation, her limbs would morph to differing extents, and her face would completely transform into that of a giant dragon, a situation no beauty-conscious woman would accept.

But at that moment, she could hardly afford to care about that and desperately channeled all her efforts, trying to complete the transformation of the ritual.

Thanks to the strenuous efforts of Jounouchi Hiromi, the Magic Array finally completed the transformation. Chen Yu's spare body inside the Ritual Magic Circle slumped to the ground, while his soul had fused with the newly transformed Underworld Feather Angel.

As the Underworld Feather Angel was born, the surrounding dark clouds became denser, and with constant thunder rumbling within, the dark whirlpool that enveloped the top of the Mage Tower was illuminated, turning it into a storm of lightning.

Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura of invincibility rose from the Underworld Feather Angel. As its wings spread behind it, its formidable presence momentarily dispersed the surrounding storm, causing it to pause briefly.

Crushed by this immense aura, even Jounouchi Hiromi, with her Sub-Legendary strength and Dragon Bloodline, felt overwhelmed, compelled to kneel on one knee.

However, perhaps due to her current full Half-Dragon form, Jounouchi Hiromi's personality seemed to be influenced by her bloodline, filled with the pride of the Giant Dragon Clan. Faced with the might that forced her to kneel, she felt a surge of rage that erupted from her mouth into a thunderous roar!

The storm swirling around the Mage Tower was once more put on pause.
