Vincent had a hard time dislodging himself from the two Celestials. Although they were only using their physical strength to clutch his body, he had to furiously revolve his Synthetic Celestial Core to untangle them.

They seem to have gone out of their mind as he tried calling their names but they have no reaction whatsoever!

"Hey! Wake up!"

Vincent shouted. It was accompanied by a wave of energy in an attempt of waking them up. Luckily, it was quite effective as they immediately woke up from their stupor…

They felt somewhat uncomfortable as they immediately looked around. As soon as they saw Vincent, they immediately felt glad and approached him.

"Vincent! Come here…"

"We need your help…"

Lucia and Katea said as they held Vincent's hands… He decided not to evade them and instead, observe their actions. He noticed that as soon as they held him, their faces with discomfort suddenly calmed…

He felt their soft hands and warm bodies as he looked at them with worry.

They suddenly seem peaceful which confused him even more.

'Are they sick?'

"What's going on? Tell me. Did you guys fail?" Vincent asked.

"We didn't! It's successful but I don't know… Did you modify the sapling? It suddenly feels comfortable being with you…" 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"T-that's true… Did you place some kind of mind-controlling medicine in it?"

The two Celestials started analyzing their situation and even accused Vincent. The latter didn't feel offended as he can tell that they didn't mean it.

"I'm confused… You said that the sapling you started growing should transform you both and allow you to collect energy from the sun… But what happened?"

Hearing Vincent's question, Lucia hesitated for a moment before answering.

"T-that's true… However, the sapling seems to be connected to you… Is that right?" Lucia asked.

"Maybe… I'm not sure if it's connected to me… What I can confirm is that I'm connected to the tree where it came from." Vincent answered.

"That's it! After we assimilate the plant to ourselves, we lost our mind!" Katea replied.

Vincent was still confused so he had to ask them to tell it in detail.

Apparently, as soon as the small plant had two decent leaves, they immediately decided to assimilate it with their bodies…

Supposedly, the leaves would transform their Celestial Cores so they can finally absorb the sun's energy without terrible effects or having impure bodies…

That's right, Celestial Beings can really absorb the sun's energy but only for emergency measures. After all, it will cause impurities in their bodies and they will require more Celestial Energy to clear their bodies later on. If they did not do anything about it, their Celestial Core may no longer be as efficient as before.

Their previous 100% capacity may even turn into 50% making them a lot weaker and unqualified with their ranking.

Unless they're desperate, they wouldn't do it mindlessly.

Their assimilation with the plant was successful but before they could even try to absorb sunlight, their senses suddenly dulled as they felt the presence of the towering tree!

They felt the Tree of Faith pressuring their bodies as if it was trying to test them whether they deserve the transformation or not…

They both tried to resist it but they unfortunately failed!

In the end, they felt their desire to be with Vincent!

"What?" Vincent asked as he started removing their hands from him.

"That's right… If it's normal humans, they would probably try to do something to your body…" Lucia answered.

"We have to ensure that only the Celestials know how to assimilate with the Tree of Life since if it's others, they will have a weaker resistance and would probably do something more pleasurable other than hold you. As we said before, it seems that anyone who tried this would have desire on your body…"

"What? Isn't that weird? If it's having faith in me, I would understand it… But why would you even desire my body…" Vincent asked in confusion.

"How can I answer that? Perhaps the Tree of Faith is naughty?" Kate replied.

"Wait… It would actually make sense since Vincent is connected to the Tree as he mentioned. Are you perhaps some sort of Tree of Faith's representative in this land?" Lucia asked.

Vincent shook his head and replied.

"I'm not sure about being representative but I have a special status called Vessel of Faith… With this status, I can somehow see someone's faith in me and I can tell right now that both of you have the strongest ones…" f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"I knew it!"

Lucia then analyzed the situation and it seems that assimilating with the Tree of Faith will make them connected to Vincent… They weren't sure how it would benefit both sides but that can be investigated later on.

Nevertheless, they were hopeful that it will bring them profitable gains.

"Alright… Assimilation with the plant from the Tree of Faith will only be for you guys… I still have many questions but for now, can you try absorbing the sun's energy?" Vincent asked.

"Let's try it outside…"

The three of them went outside the garden and the two Celestials noticed a few more saplings...

"So this is where you were hiding the others…"

"I knew it… You really have plenty of them."

Vincent just smiled after hearing them.

Soon, the two Celestials started their meditation while basking under the warm sunlight…

Vincent watched them at the garden's pavilion as it seems that this would take quite some time.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly noticed that the air surrounding the Celestials started moving fast…

He immediately activated his Energy Sensitivity since Mana Sense is useless to them.

"They're heating up…" Vincent muttered as he realized that Lucia and Katea started to get hot… It was as if they plan to imitate the sun!

'Is this dangerous?' Vincent asked himself. He has no idea whether this type of meditation will cause harm to the surroundings. Nevertheless, he can only pray that his Formation Arts will protect his garden in time.

After 15 minutes, one of them finally woke up.

"I did it…" Lucia spoke with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

She then sneered at Vincent and added…

"I no longer need your potion so…"

Cling!

Lucia drew her weapon!

Vincent felt alarmed as he saw the terrifying smile on Lucia's face!
