For Su Xi, it's hard to say whether this is a blessing in disguise.

Generally speaking, developing talent abilities and enhancing talent levels are among the core gameplay elements of the Meta World. Since Su Xi possesses the talent of Dimensional Avatar, the core gameplay element is naturally to develop various avatar abilities and coordinate them with each other.

The main body is actually dispensable, since he only has the avatar talent. If he doesn't use the avatar to fight other players, it's as if he has no talent at all, so how can he fight?

However, after using the [Deity's Blood], the original body gained two powerful talents: [Curse Reversal] and [Evil Curiosity], which caused the otherwise ordinary original body to become instantly powerful.

In particular, the [Curse Reversal] skill reverses the curse of fear, increasing base attributes by 3% daily, with a maximum increase of 1000%. Based on the current attribute growth at this legendary Life Level, it may eventually surpass the attributes of Kurumi Incarnation!

If what the Holy Tree said is true, then in the end, I might not actually be at a loss.

Uncertain.

The main reason is that Su Xi doesn't quite believe what the Holy Tree says.

Neither in her past life nor in this one, Su Xi had ever had any connection with the Holy Tree.

At most, uh, it should be, it seems, the Empress Bai Ya and Princess Beatrix from my past life seem to have become my water heater?

emmm...

Still uncertain.

Those forbidden memories were too vague for Su Xi to investigate further.

Based on her current mental state, Su Xi felt that she was not yet able to perfectly accept those depraved memories without being affected.

So, why is the Holy Tree taking such good care of me?

The problem has come full circle.

It's no wonder Su Xi is suspicious; she's encountered too many pitfalls in her past life.

Why should you help me?

Su Xi asked the question.

"You've only been in this world for seven days, yet you've already caught the eye of Evil God. In less than a month, you've gained the favor of the Creator God. Don't underestimate yourself; you're far more special than anyone else."

"Helping you this time is my small investment in you."

"Investment?" Su Xi pondered.

"You mean you'll need my help in the future?"

The virtual light and shadow chuckled, "Who knows? But I'm really looking forward to your performance."

"Aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person and ending up with nothing?" Su Xi tried to put on a wicked smile.

But to outsiders, they are incredibly cute.

"Hmm, maybe. Like I said, nobody knows what the future holds, but there are always exceptions, aren't there?" the virtual light and shadow said meaningfully.

Then it disappeared.

A faint voice drifted from the empty room.

"Please fulfill your duties as a saintess and complete your mission. This is my deserved reward."

Su Xi remained silent.

The roots and stems of the Holy Tree outside the washroom have faded.

The washroom, which had been sealed off by the Holy Tree for three days, was finally opened.

The Elf High Priestess Nicola, who had been waiting anxiously, was instantly moved to tears. When she saw the person who came out, her expression froze, and she peeked into the room.

Su Xi was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Uh... um... um, where is our Holy Maiden?" Nicola's expression was not good, thinking that she had lost the Holy Maiden.

Su Xi was speechless. In front of her, he activated his talent and transformed into Tokisaki Kurumi.

Unlike the childish voice just now, this voice carried a mature tone. "This is my ability; I can change my appearance."

Nicola was dumbfounded. Although the world is full of wonders, this was the first time she had ever seen such an ability.

Then, with a pitiful and affected manner, she said, "Your Highness, you've finally come out."

Su Xi canceled her avatar, startled by her enthusiasm. She took a step back nervously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nicola wiped away her tears and said, "No, we were just worried about what happened to you in there, Your Highness. This room hasn't been opened for three days, and we were all so worried."

Su Xi's lips twitched.

Does this mean that you looked down on me back then, but now you can't afford to be near me?

Su Xi shook her head.

Get rid of all those messy thoughts.

They left the Hall of Service with Nicola, intending to meet the Empress.

However, the Empress refused to meet with Su Xi, citing illness.

Su Xi and Nicola could only look at each other in bewilderment.

The identity of the Elf Saintess could only be announced later, since this matter required the Empress's personal attention.

Su Xi is temporarily staying in a separate room prepared for the Holy Maiden by the Elf race.

The room is decorated in the style typical of the Elf race, with bright windows, clean tables, and flowers and plants, making it an excellent space for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Open the window to see the city beneath the Holy Tree.

The sun was shining brightly.

Su Xi sat at an exquisite wooden table and opened her email system.

The rewards for being number one on both leaderboards last month have been distributed. I was overtaken on the level leaderboard on the last day, which is unavoidable. I was busy with the Saintess's mission at the time and didn't level up at all, so it's normal to be overtaken.

The reward for ranking second on the leaderboard is a random rare skill book.

The top two items on the equipment leaderboard are both [Time Gun] and [Divine Might Spirit Armor - Third Round], both Kurumi Incarnation. The reward is a [Talent Enhancement Chest] containing a random rare skill book.

Put the reward into your backpack.

The properties panel of the main body has been opened.

In reality, the character's attributes are only level 1, but in the game, they are a solid level 34.

Name: Su Xi

Level: Lv34 (Experience 27%)

Life Level: Demon Realm Elf (Current Attribute Growth: 43 (Maximum 70))

Attack: 1527

Defense: 317

Life:

Magic Power: 8115

Attributes (Balanced Development): Strength 1577, Intelligence 1477, Constitution 2577, Spirit 1623

The Kurupai's Blessing, the Curse Reversal, the addition of legendary equipment, and other miscellaneous things combined to create this stat sheet. In addition to what I had before, there was another attribute that was added after spending three days in the Bloodline Cleansing Chamber, which increased my constitution by 1,000 points. The maximum should be 1,000, otherwise, after spending three days in there, it would be more than 1,000 points.

The only thing missing is a level 10 epic weapon, otherwise all the attributes of the main body would surpass those of the Kurumi Incarnation. The main problem is that the Kurumi Incarnation cannot enjoy the attribute bonus brought by the Curse Reversal, otherwise the two would be on par.

Of course, this only applies before the attribute growth reaches 70, when the original body's attributes easily surpass those of Kurumi Incarnation. However, it becomes difficult after 70, as the attribute growth cap for Kurumi Incarnation is 100 points.

Aside from these, the only other thing worth discussing is skills.

Professional skills require learning from a mentor. Obviously, the elf named Agatha was the mentor for this kind of [Dark Witch] profession. But now that I'm out of luck, I can't learn skills this way at all.

Only...

Su Xi turned her gaze to the two random rare skill books.

Hopefully, we can unlock skills usable by the [Dark Witch].

Su Xi placed the two skill books on the table and pressed the activation button.

Purple light burst forth.

The next moment, the two random skill books were revealed.

[Decoy Grass Doll]: Instantly appears the moment you are attacked, summoning a straw doll to take the hit for you. Flash range: within a five-meter radius of your original location. Cooldown: ten minutes.

[Rose Vines]: Gather magical power to summon black Rose Vines, dealing damage equal to [Attack Power + Intelligence * 0.2] to enemies.
