Vincent glanced at Teresa who seemed to be deliberating whether she should challenge Agatha into a fight.
Of course, Vincent wasn't interested in that since he knows that the Number 2 is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Since Agatha is only Number 18 there's nothing to prove at all and there's no need to know who was stronger or weaker.
In the end, Vincent immediately spoke as he decided to just give a gift to the two Celestial Beings and hope that it will change the atmosphere between the two groups.
He felt that by doing this, the Celestials would become friendlier and perhaps, even help them once they entered the Main Peak.
"These potions are similar to what she used?" Teresa asked after getting the potion from Vincent.
She was referring to the potion that Luna just used to cure her physical injuries.
"Yes… It's what Celestial Luna used just now." Vincent answered as she gently nodded to the beautiful Celestial.
"I understand. This is quite special. I can feel it. Did you make it?" She continued to ask.
Vincent shuddered after noticing Teresa's gaze. He took a deep breath before he answered carefully.
"Unfortunately, I'm not an Alchemist… The potion is made by the people in my city. I'm only helping them a little." He vaguely replied.
"Mhmm…" Teresa no longer questioned Vincent as she pocketed the potion with her.
She instead looked at Luna and Agatha. She seemed to be satisfied with what she saw and continued.
"It's impressive that it wasn't only us who had gathered enough Celestial Energy to activate the Celestial Mode. I guess we can use your help to disable the Overseer."
"You want to disable the Overseer?" Vincent asked.
Teresa squinted her eyes as she seem to be surprised that it was Vincent who spoke for them.
She ignored the man's question and asked Luna and Agatha once more.
"Are you going to let him speak for the both of you?" She asked in a baffled tone.
Her treatment of Vincent also showed that she was looking down on him. Well, it wasn't that surprising.
The reason the Celestials were only willing to work for the humans was because of their inability to recover their Celestial Energy.
Perhaps, Teresa has other methods of recovery so she was proud and haughty as she doesn't care about Vincent at all.
Vincent's mouth twitched after noticing the blatant disregard but he didn't mind it at all as he looked at Luna and Agatha.
"Answer her…"
Hearing Vincent's permission, the two replied to Teresa.
"He's fully aware of our situation so you can speak to him."
"I'd rather trust him than you. He's already gathered numerous Celestial Beings and is helping them recover while I can only sense that there are five Celestials around here."
Luna and Agatha replied respectively and Vincent felt like he was blushing because of this.
Nevertheless, he controlled his facial reaction as he looked at Teresa with his raised chin.
Seeing this, Teresa could only focus on Vincent and asked him directly.
"Do you have plans to deal with the Overseer?"
Vincent didn't hesitate and replied succinctly.
"No…"
Teresa didn't expect such a decisive answer and continued. "Why?"
"The Overseer is still helping us deal with the mess that the Creed of Eiqehin made. Aren't you aware of that?"
"I'm aware… However, this is also the best opportunity to get rid of him. I wouldn't suggest it if he's at his peak. He's already a lost cause."
Vincent can certainly understand her concern and weighed his options… Since the Overseer had also taken the Qheglena that the Celestial Beings needed, he doesn't really hate the idea of fighting against the Overseer.
"Very well… If you help me deal with the Black Magic Organization's magic god, I will help you."
After hearing his request, Claire actually chuckled and even Teresa couldn't hide her grin.
Vincent quite hate this but he remained silent. If they wanted to say something, they should just say it!
After a few moments, Claire signaled to Teresa to allow her to speak.
"The magic god you're talking about isn't just a single being. It's the Morian Collective. It will be difficult."
At these words, it wasn't just Vincent who was enlightened, this included Luna and Agatha who were silently listening. It was only Nerissa who had no idea what they were talking about.
"That Morian Collective?" Vincent repeated as he recalled the details that he knew.
There should be six otherwordly civilizations that were vying to control this world. They are the Celestial Beings, Demihumans, Xonid Legion, Arkhan Legion, Thoran Empire, and Morian Collective.
Vincent has already encountered three of the six…
Of course, although he hadn't met the Arkhan Legion yet, he already suspected that this Legion is related to the Demonic Cult based on the clues they'd left behind during his encounter with a few of them.
This is also what the other Celestials believed.
As for the Thoran Empire and Morian Collective, he only knows that they are human-like, unlike the Xonid and Arkhan that are literally in such an alien form.
Vincent then recalled something as he felt something off with the conclusion that Claire has given. He deliberated for a moment before speaking.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Morian Collective are Aether Users. However, based on the clues we've got, they were able to trigger Mana Cataclysms and it seems to be a ritual to strengthen the magic god's Avatar… If that's the case, the Avatar isn't a part of the Morian Collective?" Vincent asked.
Based on his understanding, the members of the Morian Collective shouldn't be so powerful that could wield both mana and aether at the same time. Unless they were parasites like the Xonids and could control a mana practitioner to wield mana instead of Aether.
"So you're indeed aware of them… As expected, you're not a simple contractor…" Teresa gently nodded after hearing Vincent's words.
Claire also realized that Vincent has enough knowledge so she continued…
"The Morians have fully controlled one of the guardians of this land so the Avatar can exist. They're close to becoming real citizens of this world and would no longer be rejected by the world's mana. Although it will probably take three or so more years for that to happen, I guess we can't be too complacent... We can work together to stop this from happening…"
