Saleen took out the level 19 Star Gathering Needle carefully. There was nothing like Principle of Crystal Coffin with the needle. If he activated its full power, it would bring about a greater catastrophe.
Saleen had not been able to activate the powers of the Star Gathering Needle, but since Gaine had raised his level at astrology to level nine, he became able to use part of the needle's powers.
Saleen was extremely nervous and shut the Magical Element Tower off from the outside world completely. He then stuck the needle into Sika's armor.
Astrologers were very familiar with destroying gods and signs of divinity. It was the very reason why astrologers were so popular back in the days.
Even gods were unable to escape the machinations of fate.
