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

After handing the stamped player card to Xie Bai, the elf barely looked back at her again.

She didn't hear Xie Bai's clear and pleasant voice of thanks until Xie Bai took the player's card from her.

"Thank you so much, big sister!"

After saying that, Xie Bai hugged the two plush dragon puppets tightly again and ran away from the registration office.

A moment later, the elf in charge of registration breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Xie Bai had indeed gone far away.

"call…"

After regaining her composure, she continued to register the next contestant.

Perhaps because of her recent experience, she was working faster and faster.

In the end, it took less than two hours to complete the registration of all personnel.

"Tsk..."

The elf looked at the completed register with a worried expression.

"Is it a coincidence? There were exactly 256 people, and after eight rounds, there wasn't a single gap to exploit."

That won't do...

She could certainly participate in the competition through that cute little girl, but the other contestants wouldn't go easy on her just because she was cute.

Moreover, with those three childish summons she has, even if her opponent goes easy on her, she might not have a chance to win.

If that little girl is sad and upset because she lost the game, this priestess of the Church of Life will probably never forgive herself from the goddess.

It would be great if we could find some loopholes for shady dealings.

Just as she was repeatedly checking the register, a shout suddenly came from afar.

"Um! Is it still possible to register now? I accidentally arrived a little late...!"

A girl with short, emerald-green hair and animal ears was rushing over.

The elf glanced down at the timer on the table.

"It's already five minutes past the deadline, and according to the rules, I shouldn't be able to allow her to register..."

However, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

The elf turned her head to observe her surroundings, and after confirming that the Bishop of Life had gone far away, she shoved the timing device into the drawer under the table, then struck a pose and smiled at the late-arriving beast-eared girl.

"Miss, we only have ten minutes left before the deadline. You've arrived just in time."

"After you hand me your prepared player badge, I can register you here."

Upon hearing this explanation, the girl's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.

"Really? Someone fainted at the city gate just now, and I helped them out. I didn't expect there was still time. As for the player's badge, let me look for it..."

After searching through them, the girl quickly handed the prepared player cards to the elf.

"Okay, please wait a moment, miss. Our registration process is very quick."

As she spoke, the elf looked down at the information on the player cards.

Name: Frye

Race: Hybrid Orc

Gender: Male

"???"

The elf looked up at the other person.

Her short, warm emerald green hair cascaded over her ears and shoulders, her long, delicate eyelashes drooped down, and even her round, panting face looked excessively adorable.

Although she can't compare to that white-haired little girl from before, she's still enough to outshine most young women, and even some elves.

So you're saying this person is a boy?

Isn't that a bit too much of a foul?

The elf shook his head.

"Never mind, it's not important. As long as someone registers for the next spot, that's fine."

With that thought in mind, she handed the player card with the stamp on it to Fryn.

"Huh? So fast? Aren't you going to ask about the summoned creatures?"

Fryn took the player card with some confusion, but she chose not to ask any further questions.

After a brief thank you, Fryn left the registration desk.

After watching the other person walk away, the elf immediately closed the registration desk, quickly went to a room, opened the registration book in her hand, slammed it on the table, and pointed forcefully at someone's information column.

"There are 257 participants in this competition, and there is one bye in each round. You can manipulate the system and keep selecting that one person."

Upon hearing this, the male elf opposite calmly turned around, glanced down at the register she was pointing to, and then looked up at her.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"OK."

……

the other side.

Before the competition officially started, Xie Bai and his group strolled through the exhibition area, browsing the street scenes and some booths set up specifically for the event.

"Um…?"

Xie Bai stopped at a hat stall, his gaze falling on the variety of unique hats.

The stall owner narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Xie Bai arrive.

"Little sister, would you like to buy one? These are special souvenirs offered by the church, each costing only one gold coin, but only one per person. Which one do you like?"

Xie Bai listened to the stall owner's explanation, then turned around and pointed to Ivy and Atoris who were following behind him.

"There are three of us, can we buy three hats?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner glanced at the two people behind her and gave them a kind smile.

"Of course, please choose whichever you like."

After receiving permission, Xie Bai immediately squatted down and selected three of the smallest hats, paying the stall owner a paltry three gold coins.

"This…"

The stall owner looked at the three small hats Xie Bai had chosen and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

One is a small volcano, another is a small snow mountain, and the last is a tiny top hat that can only be used as a souvenir.

Even though Xie Bai was already petite enough, compared to the three top-grade hats used for display, it was clear that she couldn't wear any of them.

However, the stall owner soon understood why Xie Bai had chosen these three hats.

She put the three little hats on the plush dragon doll in her arms and the little hill on her shoulder, then held them up for Ivy and the others to see with a satisfied look.

"How is it? Isn't this outfit pretty cute?"

Faced with Xie Bai's sudden, sunny smile, Ivy and Atoris both turned their faces away and covered their faces lightly.

"So beautiful..."

Seeing this, Ignatius, who was being held in her arms, couldn't help but think.

"Is this what the boss meant by 'delicate'? It just seems like she's confident and cheerful. I guess I'm usually like that too."

"Um……"

"That doesn't seem right either. Judging from what Azsharax said about me before, what I did was probably arrogance."

"But what's the difference between confidence and arrogance...?"

Ignatius began to think.

At the same time, having received confirmation, Xie Bai put down the plush dragon puppet he was holding and gently stepped back.

"Alright, let's keep going while we still have time."

After saying that, Xie Bai turned around and walked forward.

Atori instinctively wanted to hurry after her, but then he saw Ivy fiddling with something.

"What are you doing? We've already agreed not to cause any more trouble. Do you intend to...?"

Faced with Atoris's questioning, Ivy hurriedly opened her arms and explained to Atoris.

"I...I didn't do anything underhanded. I just hoped that my lord could win this match easily and make some...well, small adjustments to the current fate line."
