At the moment Elle opened her eyes.

In another world, Annan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, saw his vision blur momentarily before it quickly sharpened.

Following that, Elle gradually relinquished control of her body, handing it over to Annan.

Annan first shook his head very slowly, experiencing a strange sensation akin to 3D dizziness. As Annan gradually became accustomed to Elle’s body, the feeling faded significantly... until it completely dissipated.

It was an odd sense of separation.

One could clearly sense that the world before their eyes was incredibly real—yet still fictitious.

It was as if one was observing a character through a VR monitor, manipulating her actions with mere thoughts.

Annan rotated his head, then moved his fingers a bit.

With a single thought, the character panel appeared before his eyes.

—Yes, the character panel.

Not just the main storyline of the instance, nor a simple panel displaying health and erosion levels... but a complete attribute panel. As if he wasn’t in a nightmare, but in the vast real world instead.

... Is this what an angel’s panel looks like?

The front part was okay, except that Elle’s attributes were oddly low... or rather, so specialized that Annan worried what would happen if Elle accidentally got killed.

Then Annan saw the lavish list of constant abilities that followed.

Is this the angel’s resistance?

Annan had thought Giralda’s resistances were fierce enough... but compared to a genuine high-ranking angel, they were not in the same league.

Elle could completely ignore all spells from the School of Prophets and Decree School, and if the damage wasn’t caused by cursed items, it could be utterly disregarded no matter how severe.

From this perspective, a Transcendent’s barehanded blows might be more effective than slashing with a knife... the latter would be directly immune.

But having thoroughly reviewed Elle’s resistance chart, Annan still felt some concern.

Because...

Elle’s resistances... weren’t exactly comprehensive, were they?

Like her attributes, her resistances were very specialized.

After all, she was half-undead, it made sense for her to have no resistances to fire, lightning, or light damage. But not being immune to blunt damage still made her unsafe.

Despite possessing the constant ability [Energy Organs]... This meant she could not suffer from poisoning or suffocation. Even a pierced heart or liver wouldn’t cause any substantial damage.

However, without immunity to blunt damage, any Gold Rank Transcendent could kill her relatively easily—that "Immunity to Mundane Damage" meant damage without Elemental Power.

In other words, any Gold Rank Transcendent.

Or, like Annan, who could use Elemental Power in advance... for such a Transcendent, Elle was as fragile as paper.

With that 14 Constitution, she was practically dead on touch.

Like the time when Defu, who had not yet embarked on the path of the Transcendent, shot the Shaping Grand Wizard Jude dead with a clean arrow, Elle was in a similar predicament.

However, after Elle initiated her angelic transformation, there might be improvements...

This truth of hers, Annan did not know how to use it—after all, it was not Annan’s own truth, he could only glimpse into it and "digitize" it through the power of the Book of the Celestial Chariot.

But fortunately, Annan was still adept at using Elemental Power.

Although Elle lacked the enhancement of professional ranks, resulting in a lack of usable skills and very low attributes, she was nonetheless a genuine godchild, a demi-god—her Gold-tier status was already sufficient for wielding Elemental Power.

Previously, her act of making the surrounding world Otherworldly, revealing abstract bands of light that altered the natural laws, was undoubtedly the manifesting Elemental Power.

However...

"Elle... how do you use this truth and Elemental Power?"

Annan asked in his heart, "What can they be used for?"

He was like someone preparing to help a friend level up an account, but upon logging in and facing an overwhelming list of unfamiliar skills, he was utterly clueless about what to do.

[I... I don’t know either...]

Elle hesitantly responded in her heart.

——Just like a player who directly rushed to full profession but hadn’t even read the skill descriptions.

"...How could you not know?"

[Because I have never fought with anyone...]

Even though Elle had such powerful abilities, she did not harbor a strong desire to use them.

Because she was not elevated through the Path of Sublimation, with desire as the fire, will as the anvil, and curses as the hammer, repeatedly corrupting, forging, condensing, purifying, dissolving, and staining her mundane soul... until it ascended.

Elle was originally a mortal, or rather, just shattered, unburied bones incapable of burial.

She could not even bring a complete soul into existence— it was the work of the Bone Sovereign who placed her in a nightmare, by absorbing the dissolving souls of the unfortunate purifiers within the gallery nightmare, that she was finally reconstructed.

And as a godchild, she was already at the Gold tier upon birth.

In a world where one must maintain enough desire to complete the Stigmatization trials, Elle was in a class by herself.

Apart from Elle, perhaps only pure-blooded dragons were capable of turning their souls gold without the need to stain them with desire.

She was an irreplaceable miracle.

[But because of that... I think, enough people have died because of my birth.]

She said softly, [I hope that I, at least, can avoid killing and not engage in disputes with others.]

"...That’s not going to be easy, Elle."

Annan was silent for a moment, then replied in his heart, "For you, not killing is going to be much harder than killing."

[...Eh? Is, is it?]

"But I will help you."

Annan raised his head.

He controlled Elle’s body and patted Longjing Tea’s shoulder.

Feeling Elle’s call, Longjing Tea immediately turned around. Selicia too stopped talking.

——People were always quite concerned about Elle. It was probably rooted in everyone’s inherent tolerance towards [pure goodness].

Even if they knew they could never achieve it themselves, they would silently show respect and provide whatever help they could if they saw someone else truly walking that path.

"It’s me, Longjing Tea."

Annan revealed a bright smile and gave Longjing Tea a thumbs-up.

But as Longjing Tea looked at the familiar smile that suddenly blossomed on Elle’s face, he was taken aback. He vaguely recognized it, but the difference was so great that he was somewhat reluctant to acknowledge it...

"It’s me—I am Annan."

The voice that came from "Elle" was still soft, yet it was filled with convincing force and leadership.

Elle’s emerald green eyes opened after a long absence.

Just like the white-dressed girl in the gallery from days past, she revealed a cheerful and radiant smile, reminiscent of the sun.

The glow of the setting sun showered upon Elle.

"Just as Elle’s heart calls for, and as you all wish for..."

"Elle" said:

"Even if it is an Otherworld, I can reach it, and take you all away from every peril... as always.

"Your friend, Annan Winter—has come to your rescue."
