Currently, Vale's main body was about to be possessed by the Death God. No matter how great Vale was, even with all the tricks and extracted spells he had, his enemy was still a being that had full control of a particular Realm.
Even the Abyss Realm's Demon Lord would have to be careful in front of this deity with the power to control the death itself.
At this point, once the Death God managed to possess Vale's body, everyone believed that there would no be turning back for Vale if the Death God decided to kill himself.
Not even the two Time Manipulators could help revive Vale if that happened.
Because of that, they needed the Perfect Vessel to help Vale obtain a new body or to draw the Death God into this perfect body instead. After all, it's not like they have a skill that could attack the Death God inside Vale's body.
They have very limited things they can do.

"Alright... That's enough. We'll know more about your race once we return to our Realm." Vale said as he turned to leave.
However, as Vale's group prepared to depart from the enigmatic Darkness Tower, Sreas spoke up.
"I can't leave the tower, Lord Vale."
'Ahh...'
Indeed, Sreas was a prisoner of this Darkness Tower, so it made sense that he couldn't leave even if he was now serving Vale.
Of course, Vale knew what they had to do at this time.
Vale then exchanged a meaningful glance with Jin, a silent understanding passing between them as they prepared to address this matter.
"This is my first time freeing a prisoner with this item, so it might take a while." Jin explained.
"Alright... you can take your time, Jin." Vale replied.
However, Sreas had no idea about it as well.
"We'll explore that later..." Vale muttered as he noted that place at the back of mind.
Pressing onward, the group ventured forth to the next Prisoner Tower. This time, Vale thought for a moment as he considered entering the Mystical Tower and Holy Tower...
"I'm curious about this Holy Prison Tower... Let's check it out." Vale said as he led the team inside.
Once again, the Shadow Sentinels stayed outside. This time, however, Sreas joined inside.
As they crossed the threshold into the Tower's isolated space, they realized that, once again, they entered a place that didn't seem like a Tower. It was as if they were transported to a dark land. Vale couldn't help but recall the Abyss Realm!
"They're really here..." Vale muttered as he looked at the prisoners.
Apparently, this was why he had chosen this place. He wanted to know if his intuition was right...
Well, Vale's intuition was proven true, as the group beheld at the sight of the six prisoners.
Before them stood the ethereal figures of Messengers or the Angel Race! They were beings that should be serving the Celestial Beings and shouldn't be imprisoned!
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Vale said as he felt that there was something he was missing. Nonetheless, he shook his head as he decided to confront the truth in front of him.
As Vale and his intrepid group approached the six imprisoned Angels, they were all feeling a bit complicated.
Nonetheless, they were eager to engage in dialogue and seek answers to the mysteries that surrounded their captivity...
However, as they drew near, a sudden shift in the atmosphere occurred...
Without warning, the six Angels, who seemed to be extremely weak, burst with energy!
Their radiant forms overflowed with fierce energy as they abruptly turned hostile!
In a swift and startling turn of events, the Angels launched a coordinated assault against Vale and his companions!
