Background

Xie Antong first appears as Lu Ce’s classmate and an early investigator of Chosen Paradise. She compiles intelligence on the game’s brutality and its strongest known participants, approaching Lu Ce after suspecting that he is a player himself. 21 67

Her initial approach to the Game is cautious and calculation-driven. She selects games centered on deduction, maintains a win rate above fifty percent, and accumulates stars through strategic play rather than direct combat. 125

As the Game escalates, she becomes increasingly entangled with “Sin.” Their cooperation begins with covert planning and tactical exchanges, including her use of Swap to place Lu Ce in Piao Bu Cheng’s trap in her stead. 82 94 95 She gradually suspects that Sin and Lu Ce are the same person after recognizing his voice, behavior, and combat instincts. 220 276 308

After apparently being killed by Lu Ce, Xie Antong disappears from the battlefield and later returns, revealing that she possesses ways to cheat death. She uses her return to recruit Chiyo Eon and establish Divine Punishment, an organization intended to punish sin on heaven’s behalf. 364 371

Appearance

Xie Antong is usually associated with the helmet-like All-Knowing Eye, later replaced by a pale-blue monocle-like lens before her left eye. Outside the Game, she favors an intellectual, dark-colored style with light makeup and prominent eyeshadow. 417 457

• Her hair becomes noticeably unruly when she enters a heightened analytical state. 141 811
• Joy’s power causes her to grow taller and develop a more slender, athletic frame. 457
• Her transformed state is marked by divine light, increased physical presence, and the removal of her full helmet. 457
• As Blank Leader, she is known for a cold monocle gaze and an intimidatingly composed demeanor. 635

Personality

Xie Antong is an analytical, meticulous player who prefers preparation, surveillance, and deduction to impulsive action. She habitually gathers information on strong players, rehearses possible movements in her mind, and treats battle as a sequence of data collection, weakness detection, and calculated execution. 67 178

She can be cautious to the point of fear, particularly when facing Lu Ce or overwhelming divine power, but repeatedly chooses to act despite that fear. Her confidence grows as her intelligence, authority, and divine power increase. 140 301 635

Her intelligence can also make her manipulative. She deceives Mr. Know-it-all, bluffs stronger opponents, uses Xue Zou’s uncertainty against her, and is willing to coerce Apostles with potions when she considers it strategically necessary. 232 257 635 687

After assimilating Joy’s power, she becomes more direct, aggressive, thrill-seeking, and emotionally expressive. She insists that this changed state is still genuinely herself, rather than merely Joy’s influence. 466 877 902

• Expands the Eyes into a two-dimensional coordinate system that transforms allies’ vision into a grid-like targeting interface. 635 636

Predictive Analysis

• Grants heightened speed, strength, durability, and a transformed combat body. 457 868
