He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Realizing this, Xie Bai turned to look at Ivy.

"Ivy, can I do you a favor?"

Ivy was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Sure, but what is it?"

Xie Bai looked into her eyes and said.

"Try to show me your loyalty."

"what?"

Ivy was caught off guard.

"Right now, in this place...?"

Although she was surprised by Xie Bai's request, her subconscious action was not to refuse.

Given Xie Bai's current environment of absolute trust, Ivy has almost no need to doubt his intentions.

For Xie Bai, this brief display of trust was enough.

As soon as Ivy finished speaking, a long-awaited notification appeared in front of Xie Bai.

[Ivy's loyalty has risen to 100]

[Triggered Lust Blessing: "Ivy's" loyalty is now locked at 1000]

[A unit matching "Chosen by the Void" has been detected. Grant it power?]

"Sure."

[“Void God's Favor” has been triggered! Target unit: “Ivy”]

The next second, streams of pale purple void power emerged from Xie Bai's body, swirling around Ivy and gently converging towards the center.

"uh-huh…"

Ivy suddenly felt a strange warm current flowing through her body, curiously exploring every corner of herself.

At first, she resisted the sudden intrusion of this warm current, but after sensing that it came from Xie Bai, she relaxed her guard and allowed the warm current to explore her body.

According to Ivy, wherever this warm current flowed, a lingering warmth remained.

Although it wasn't exactly unpleasant, it still felt a little awkward with other people watching.

Ultimately, the Void Force's transformation of Ivy ceased.

Contrary to Xie Bai's expectations, the transformation of Ivy by the power of the void was exceptionally gentle, or rather, remarkably smooth.

It's as if Ivy's body structure is naturally suited to the enhancement of void power.

After sensing the strange sensation dissipate, Ivy slowly opened her eyes.

"that……"

Before Ivy could even ask what had happened, a strange force crept up to her fingertips.

The pale purple base is mixed with a touch of gold.

Like twinkling starlight emerging from the night sky.

Although faint, it exudes a mysterious charm.

"Wait, what's this?"

This time, it was Rhein-Dott that expressed surprise.

He walked up and examined the new power emanating from Ivy.

"It is the void... but there are some differences; it should be a mixture of the void and other forces."

Besides Rheindorf, Nedzló also joined the fray.

"It feels like Miss Ivy has become that lady's divine favor, but it's more profound than ordinary divine favor, as if she has been integrated into a system and become part of some kind of power."

Ivy was completely confused by their analysis.

"What...what are you talking about?"

She looked at Xie Bai on the other side, trying to get some answers.

However, the moment she turned her head, the other person covered her head and started touching her.

"Hmm, a slight connection has indeed been established, but unfortunately, the power within you is still too weak, so the connection is not yet obvious."

As he spoke, Xie Bai turned his gaze to the side.

The moment Ivy became Xie Bai's chosen one, a brand new information panel appeared in front of Xie Bai.

【Void God's Favor: Ivy】

[Current Level: Witch of Fate]

[Holding Power: Fate (Indifferent)]

Available Power: 0.5%

A very brief information panel.

From head to toe, one can obtain almost no other more useful information.

Xie Bai glanced through it.

The "Current Level" displayed caught her attention.

"The Fate Witch is only a tier? If that's the case, won't she evolve in the future?"

Unbeknownst to Xie Bai, Ivy had become something akin to a Digimon in his eyes.

Just as she was about to close the panel and end the sensation, her hand, which was stroking Ivy, was suddenly pressed down.

"that……"

Ivy looked at her with a somewhat uncertain expression.

"If possible, could I touch you a little longer...?"

As she spoke, Ivy's eyes lowered slightly.

Looking at Ivy's slightly shy appearance, Xie Bai felt a cute feeling similar to a pet being affectionate.

"Is this... a divine connection?"

For some reason, Xie Bai felt his affection for Ivy deepen.

In her mind, Ivy was like one of her children or a pet, who had become extremely dependent on her and desperately needed her care.

"But if that's the case, I want to raise Digimon even more..."

After a brief complaint, Xie Bai pulled Ivy into his arms and gently stroked her head.

"Okay, I'm right here, don't be so scared."

Xie Bai comforted Ivy while pondering something.

Since the other party will develop a strong dependence on you after establishing a divine connection, you should be more careful when seeking divine favor in the future.

Although it's not entirely clear how much of Ivy's dependence on her stemmed from her desire for him to return and save the academy.

However, the amplifying effect of divine favor will certainly not be small.

If every divine favorite developed a clear dependence on her like Ivy, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like when she subdued a group of divine favorites in the future.

Just then, Rheindorf's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"wrong……"

He glanced at Ivy, then spoke to Xie Bai.

"Now that you've established a connection with Miss Ivy, the resilience of her body and soul is directly linked to yours, which is vastly different from before..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Bai looked at him with some suspicion.

"How did you figure that out?"

In response to her questioning, Rhein-Dort pointed to his golden pupils.

"Just some innate special abilities."

"Okay, then."

Xie Bai temporarily put aside his doubts about Rheindorf.

Rhein-Dort looked at Ivy in Xie Bai's arms and continued.

"In short, as long as you can withstand the force, Miss Ivy can most likely withstand it as well."

As he spoke, Rhein-Dörgården paused for a moment.

"This means that she is now capable of assuming more power over destiny. As long as you do not cause any problems, she can even directly assume all power over destiny without batting an eye."

Hearing this, Xie Bai understood what Rhein-Dortmund was trying to say.

"So I can bear those costs for her, and then she can directly enjoy the results."

"To be precise, that's right."

"This…"

Xie Bai rubbed his forehead.

She never imagined that one day the saying "The reason you enjoy a peaceful life is because someone is bearing the burden for you" would be reflected in her life.

She was the one "carrying a heavy burden," while others enjoyed "peaceful and quiet lives."

"But that's just right."

Xie Bai patted Ivy on the shoulder.

"From now on, I'll protect you. Don't hesitate to tell me if you have any troubles."

"Don't worry, I will protect each and every one of you."
