Evolution under the guard of faith does not require the presence of all the disciples.
The disciples of the "Dream God," personified by faith, naturally have a strong bond with Twelve.
Through this connection, disciples are able to transfer a special, mysterious power to Twelve—a power Twelve has named "Force of Faith."
With only a long-distance notification to all disciples through the connection between the two, preparing them to focus and transmit the Force of Faith, that alone qualifies as "under the guard of faith."
Now that Twelve has the requisite number of disciples, the evolution can be carried out at any time.
After communicating with the disciples for a moment with closed eyes, Twelve opened those sea-blue eyes, face filled with excitement and anticipation, and nodded at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran took a deep breath, took out the resources needed for Twelve's evolution one by one, and placed them in front of it, "Go for it!"
"Cha~" (Go for it!)
