(A/N)

In celebration of 100 collections, I would like to include a bonus chapter. Today and tomorrow will be double chapters.

***************************************

"YES, THAT'S IT!" Adara suddenly spun around excitedly, an act completely out of her normality.

But due to the current emergency situation, no one paid any attention to it.

With a smile on her beautiful and perfect face, she looked at her two sisters.

Who were looking at her with expectation and excitement, already expectant in their hearts, waiting for her conclusion.

"Something that was always close but my mom looked directly at it." She asked.

Her delicate fingers raised and pointed in a direction.

"Me??" Receiving Adara's index finger, Lilith felt confused, looking behind herself worrying about some other illusory someone before returning to her position and wondering aloud.

"No silly, the necklace!" Adara shook her head in denial at her older sister's actions.

"Necklace?" Even confused, Lilith still unconsciously reached for the white crystal she had been using as a storage bag until now.

"Yes, this was the only item I hadn't gotten close to since we were on this mission, and it has the master's energy, it seems to have a natural perception filter that made us ignore it." Adara said excitedly, she had already left her lotus position and walked towards her older sister.

This was an item given by her master to carry out this task, the only thing he had said about it was - this will help you! - a simple sentence.

But suddenly it made perfect sense to them.

"But, but," she said between stammers and delicately touching the gray crystal on her delicate and slender neck.

"I'm sure I took out all three items that were inside." Lilith said in disbelief.

As a divine being, her memory was naturally infallible, so when she said she had certainty in her memory it meant that she remembered every detail.

"And there was no fourth item." She concluded the sentence with a frown.

"Are you sure? Until now we've been ignoring the necklace given to us personally by our master, so it wouldn't be a surprise if we ignored something inside, would it?" This time it was Nyxara who said abruptly, making them really think about this line of reasoning as well.

Lilith, full of curiosity about this mystery, removed the necklace from her neck and held it in her two cupped hands.

Giving space for everyone to look directly at it, then with a simple thought her divine senses delved deeper into the necklace.

On the first probe she found nothing, just empty space, but as if she had noticed something she tried again and gained another failure.

More like she knew it was there, only that her senses couldn't catch its location.

So she reduced the speed of probing and did the process again, slowly and in each part of the space.

Slowly a small twinkling gray star was found in the center of this storage space.

Floating there as if it were nonexistent, its light was almost lost because it looked so old and old, if possible it could have had dust around it.

Lilith was astonished, because she hadn't located it before and because it only appeared now.

It wasn't that she had found it hidden or anything like that, it was as if the light itself had revealed itself to her.

So this brought her a pleasant surprise and in the face of this simple appearance a mystery that filled her with curiosity.

With another thought, she stepped this small light out of the crystal.

~PUFF~

It made a soft sound as it appeared just above Lilith's hands and in line with the trio's eyes.

Instead of staying in place floating like all the forces they had interacted with so far, this light rotated around itself and around the women, going from one side to the other.

Seeing its strange movement and imperativeness, a feeling of curiosity arose in their minds again, unlike the elemental and spiritual auras, this excited light possessed neither, only an ancient feeling could be felt from it.

"Strange." The trio sighed at the same time, each looking at each other as they heard the repeated messages.

It was only incipient to make the corners of their lips rise in a slight smile.

Having found a way, this meant a way to finish this mission so their previously frustrated and irritated moods were soon replaced by hope and curiosity.

"Let's see what she has for us." Lilith said moving her delicate fingers, and sending her power towards the light that excitedly revolved around them.

When the energy was about to grab the light, something unusual happened, the ancient light that was making a circular movement simply disciples of Lilith's divine energy, instantly changing its direction and stopping dozens of meters away.

"Ehh!!!" She exclaimed in surprise, although it was a random movement of hers, it was still the movement of a divine and powerful being like her, escaping from her powers was not for just anyone to do.

This further increased their desire to catch this elusive light, when it was about to launch another move something even more unexpected happened before the trio's eyes.

With a quick movement the light disappeared again, its movement was so fast that it looked more like teleportation if it weren't for the trail of light left by it wherever it went.

The light passed through the trio before they could even react from the previous surprise, avoiding Lilith's power and ran towards the seed that had been floating silently in the center.

Spinning a few times around the sphere as if it were introducing itself and becoming curious about that new object, before doing another surprising action.

~PUFF~

With a light sound the light entered the seed, in the same way it emerged from the crystal, leaving the trio stunned and lost.

"That was unexpected." Lilith said stunned.

Although avoiding her power and running towards the seed was a surprise to her, it wasn't something she couldn't avoid.

The speed of light was fast but not enough to avoid it, but with parallel and quick thoughts she quickly made the choice to just observe.

What brought her the surprise of the light entering the seed on its own and without any action from them.

"Really, unexpected." Nyxara said with her mouth half open in surprise, things have been happening very fast for her, and the roller coaster of emotions made her confused and unresponsive to this whole event.

She simply let out her surprise out loud now.

"And here I am already thinking of several ways to insert this light into the seed." Adara commented with a sigh.

Tennis saw that her sister managed to find something in the crystal excited her and when she saw the light it brought her even more excitement and joy.

This made her mind spin in many ways to use this light in the seed and what effect it would have on her, but with the unexpected and sudden event cut off all her thought processes.

Leaving her a little sad and even a little disappointed.

"Well anyway, let's go in too." Nyxara said, her emotional resilience was truly something to be admired.

She soon released her divine senses, but something blocked her so this time it was not Lilith but rather her own seed.

"Ehh!! I can't get in." She exclaimed in shock, casting her senses again only to find a strong and sturdy blockade preventing her from entering.

Comedy black eyes widened as she looked at her sisters in shock.

"Seriously, let me try." Lilith quickly sprang into action, only to allow her younger sisters to see her frown and go silent.

"So what happened, how are you?" Nyxara asked hurriedly.

Lilith looked at them with a look clearly full of surprise and said. "I can't get in either, she blocked my senses."

Her voice also carried a lot of surprise in her tone, she made several probes in a matter of seconds and each one stronger than the last, but all of them were blocked, without even showing any sign of trembling or making an effort to resist.

"So not even the oldest sister can get in." Adara murmured in thought.

"The seed itself has isolated itself, not allowing anyone to enter, this transformation must be very important." Adara said after a few seconds of thought.

It was an obvious interpretation, but an interpretation, at least making the situation clear to everyone in the place.

"Then all that remains is for us to observe its transformation from the outside." Lilith ended the whole matter, and turned her gray eyes to the seed that had remained silent since the light entered it.

Both Adara and Nyxara nodded in approval, and both turned their attention towards the item in the center again.

Each of them had an expectant and curious look, for the event that followed was beyond their reach and also beyond their imagination.

The only thing she knew was that this would be the final transformation for the seed and the first step towards the ascension of the creation that they had put so much energy into.
