The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

She was referring to a 'price', but in reality, paying the price doesn't guarantee success in 'unleashing one's talent'.

It's important to understand that 'brain architecture' simply means the brain has become much more stable than before, allowing medical professionals to 'make mistakes' more often.

If too many 'mistakes' occur, the brain will become unstable again, and the 'unleashing of talent' must be stopped. For a short period of time, the surgeon will be unable to perform surgery again.

In other words, it is very likely that multiple surgeries will be required for a successful outcome!

This is why we now have a 'brain structure'; in the past, it might have required hundreds of cleanings!

During each cleansing interval, the brain accumulates impurities again, making it virtually impossible to unleash one's full potential.

With a 'brain structure' in place, 'clearing' far outweighs 'addition', but multiple surgeries are still quite normal.

Of course, this applies to other people.

Christine's healer is Sheila.

With the 'Gluttony God's' knife, the chance of making a mistake is much lower than other healers, and unlocking the 'second' talent is not difficult for her!

Unless we can never find a 'part' of the 'Innate Seal'.

The principle of 'unleashing talent' is to clear 'brain impurities'. What the healer needs to do is to find 'a part' of the 'innate magical mark' without revealing any shape of the 'innate magical mark', and then clean along this part until the complete 'talent' is revealed.

“If it’s the third [talent], it will be more troublesome. The more 'innate magical imprints' exposed in the brain, the more unstable the brain will become,” Sheila explained with a smile.

"Of course, many sorcerers may not have a third 'innate spell mark'."

She skillfully operated the tools, saying, "I've found a scholar specializing in forging your obsidian to forge it into a sword according to your specifications. It will probably take another week."

"Thank you," Li Xuan said with a smile.

With the 'Saintess Sword' in hand, but still needing a sword for [Weapon Replication], Li Xuan had already planned the use of [Obsidian].

Sheila smiled brightly: "I should be thanking you."

“Found it.” Suddenly, the end of a 'natural mark' appeared in Christine’s brain.

Once the entire 'Innate Spell Mark' is fully exposed and receives the sorcerer's spell power, it will no longer be obscured by impurities!

Sheila meticulously cleaned away the impurities along this path, her error rate was very low, and she successfully unleashed Christine's second [talent] besides [Holy Light] before Christine's mind became unstable!

“According to the rules of healers, I will not use my magical power to sense her [talent].” Sheila turned and left.

But Li Xuan had no need to worry. He channeled his magical power and, taking advantage of the fact that the [severe cranial surgery] had not yet dissipated, sensed Christine's new [talent].

[Light Chaser] - When you wish, your presence will attract all nearby light and the goodwill of unclaimed light. This effect is related to your spell power.

Under the bright operating room lights, Miss Saint is shining!

This isn't a "talent" with a definite effect, but Li Xuan thinks it could be quite amazing!

Directly immune to Light-type magic without a master?!

Or perhaps it's the powerful development of other magical seals?!

As expected of Christine!

Perhaps it was because this 'Christine' was destined to die in the War of the Sorcerers that the original designers gave her such astonishing talent specifications?

Is this your last meal before someone's execution?!

But now, Christine has survived, she belongs to Li Xuan, and she will surely shine infinitely!

The pure white saint on the operating table slowly awoke and playfully winked at him.

So, it's his turn next.

Does Li Xuan have any new "talent"?

To prevent Sheila from suddenly acting recklessly for the sake of her 'Gluttony God' power, Li Xuan did not conserve his [Historical Possession Count] (currently 0) and chose to possess her.

The surgery is proceeding as scheduled.

The craniotomy projected Li Xuan's brain.

Even Sheila could not contain the shock in her eyes, and murmured:

"Your [Black Hole Source] is about to devour your other talent, [The Prophet's Blade]!"

what? !

Li Xuan suddenly remembered that his "Black Hole Closed Meridian" technique was also a "last meal before execution"!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 126 A Reversal of Pole, I Miss You

In the original storyline of "Warlock 3", Li Xuan had already died due to the Black Hole Closure, and Christine would also die in the War of the Warlocks.

If both he and Christine were prisoners about to be beheaded, Christine was, in a sense, his cellmate. In fact, the bowl containing their "last meal" was the same one, right after Li Xuan died!

If Christine's 'super talent' stems from the designer's love and regret for this 'perfectly modeled' and beautiful saintess, and because she will die, they 'thoughtlessly' designed the super-powerful 'light tracing' talent;

The designer who named the minor character "Li Xuan" did so because of a joke made by Li Xuan. Perhaps with the attitude of "pleasing the boss of the other group", he also "thoughtlessly" designed the "super strength" of the subsequent "Black Hole Closure"!

What's going on? A strange sense of destiny has been ignited!

“Black hole source, black hole source,” Sheila murmured. “Your entire brain is your entire source. Other mages have their ‘brain (source)’ carrying their ‘innate spell mark (talent)’, but your entire ‘brain (source)’ is your ‘innate spell mark (talent)’!”

This is something she should have discovered before, since it had already been cut open once.

"What will happen?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Imagine your brain (the source of the technique) as a black hole. The outer perimeter of the brain (the source of the technique) is the gravitational influence of the black hole, while the core of the 'source of the technique' is the 'body of the black hole'.

The Prophet's Blade is being drawn ever closer to the 'Source of Magic Core', and the speed will increase as it gets faster. The closer it gets to the interior, the stronger the gravity becomes. Once it touches the 'Source of Magic Core', the terrifying gravity may cause the Prophet's Blade to undergo a huge change, or even destroy it outright!

"Since the [Prophet's Blade] is attached to the outermost edge of the 'Source Core', it is essentially absorbed, which strengthens the black hole. Your gravity should increase significantly as a result!" Hilla's eyes widened in shock.

In other words, the [talent] that Li Xuan obtained will 'become stronger', 'become weaker', or 'disappear' after a certain period of time.

And his 'gravity' will therefore continuously upgrade, raising its upper limit?!

“If several [talents] are absorbed onto the surface of a black hole, they may merge due to the terrifying gravity, giving birth to a new [talent],” Sheila added.

That means having more "talents" can lead to fusion, eliminating the need for surgery, and due to gravity, the outcome might be quite different.

“However, the impurities in your brain are still there, inside the source of the technique. Does gravity only affect [talent]?” Sheila pondered.

Nonsense! If it involved anything else, Li Xuan would have suffered brain atrophy along with his cerebrum!

Jiang Yueyue initially wanted to use a project worth hundreds of millions to make him 'urinate' the obsidian because 'gravity' wouldn't affect Li Xuan's body organs.

"In that case, start clearing your brain of impurities. Even if you'll eventually be absorbed into the 'Source Core,' there will still be benefits and surprises, won't there?" Li Xuan said.

"Okay." Sheila smiled and began to manipulate Li Xuan's brain.

Gravity only applies to [talent], meaning that Li Xuan's brain is actually the same as other sorcerers.

Li Xuan's 'gravity' has never been significantly enhanced; it has only been 'normally enhanced' due to the 'increase in the mage's level'.

That means that the talent covered by 'brain impurities' was not absorbed by the 'black hole source'!

Conversely, if there's 'brain impurities' present, a black hole can't attract 'talent'!

His other talents should still be there.

Sheila is adept at brain structuring, and as for the 'consumption', as a change agent, she can currently handle it perfectly well.

"Found it." Soon, Sheila found the end of a 'natural seal', cleared the impurities from her brain along the end, and quickly unleashed this [talent]!

Everyone looked at this [talent].

【Reversal of Extremes】- You possess the ability to reverse extreme events and things, and can conduct one risk-free trial and error every 7 days.

This is a potentially very strong [talent]!

But Christine and Sheila couldn't help but look at Li Xuan's sleeping face.

Everyone knows Li Xuan's past. His 'personality', 'emotions', and 'feelings' are all reasons for the formation of a sorcerer's [talent]. No one knows just how dark and desperate Li Xuan's past was.

Having been bedridden for so long, deprived of sunlight, how much did he yearn for the outside world to give birth to such a "talent"? Christine's eyes were already reddening.

Li Xuan felt ashamed. Actually, it wasn't that dark. He was a chief modeler who climbed up from the bottom. Because he still had a little bit of conscience, he was not assimilated by the capitalists. In addition, the company's projects were very tight. In the end, he could not get rid of the status of a corporate slave. 996 was the norm. He was actually quite happy for a period of time after lying around for two and a half years.

In the latter half of the period, he relied on illusions as his hope, with a bright future beckoning him, though he had at most lost the ultimate pleasure of paid pooping.

However, Christine would only take any explanation as a way of comforting her. Oh well, she could just take the opportunity to make some excessive demands later.

Help Sheila research Li Xuan's [Black Hole Technique Source] and obtain at least some results. Completing this event will grant you a 10-pull from the 'Tower of Knowledge' gacha pool.

Such a somber scene, and you're just staring at my brain? You despicable gluttonous seed, you have no feelings!

This "bipolar reversal" seems to be a promising talent, just like "light tracing." If you reverse 'gravity,' what will it be? Repulsion?

However, the [Bipolar Reversal] will also be drawn towards the 'Source Core'. I wonder if it can withstand the ravages of 'gravity' then?

"In that case, I won't disturb your farewell any longer." Sheila smiled faintly as she left the operating room.

Li Xuan consumed 1 [Sacrifice Seal] (currently 27) and returned to his original body. He opened his eyes and met Christine's gaze. A long time had passed. If she didn't leave soon, Archbishop Iris would most likely come looking for her.

"I'm leaving now. If you need any resources, tell me right away. If you need me, summon me immediately. If you have time, come find me right away." Christine was still immersed in Li Xuan's sad past.

"Yes, yes, I will remember Mother Saint's instructions."

Christine cupped Li Xuan's face in her hands, pinching it until it was deformed: "You already find me annoying? How can you call such a young and beautiful girl 'Mom'!"

"Oh? I don't mind if you call me Dad."

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

After seeing Christine off, Li Xuan wiped the smile that still lingered on his lips.

Because of the 'permanent possession target', he doesn't need to possess Christine all the time to reap the benefits she receives from the 'Church of Light'. He is still in danger and has his own things to do.

But not long after, Li Xuan received a message.

[Help Christine and Li Xuan stay together to complete this event and you will receive a 2-pull from the 'Eternal Light' gacha pool]

puff.

Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, his heart overflowing with sweetness. The Holy Maiden was truly wonderful! Perfect in every way!

A while later.

[Event escalates: Help Christine and Li Xuan stay together. Completing this event will grant you a 5-pull from the 'Eternal Light' gacha pool.]
