Jeremy wasn''t fully aware of what was happening in the capital, so he didn''t give it much thought. His priority at the moment was overseeing ire and Emma''s ss change ceremony. To ensure there would be no risks during the process, Jeremy made a special trip to the space where the Goddess of ss Change, Janna, resided.


    "I know why you''re here," Janna said as soon as Jeremy arrived. "I can promise you that the oue of yourpanions'' ss change will be very favorable. However, I cannot guarantee exactly what sses they will receive. Even though I am the Goddess of ss Change, I am still bound by certain rules and cannotpletely control the results of their ss change."


    Janna was well aware of the purpose of Jeremy''s visit, so she straightforwardlyid out the extent of the help she could offer.


    Jeremy nodded firmly. "Thank you for your assistance. As long as you can ensure that the sses they receive are strong enough, that''s all that matters. They won''t need to take on frontlinebat roles. Their primary responsibility will be to support us during battles, so you don''t need to focus too much on theirbat capabilities after the ss change."


    Jeremy didn''t want to trouble Janna too much, so he simply shared his general expectations with her.


    Janna nodded in understanding. "Got it. I''ll do my best to grant them sses in line with your wishes. But you should have yourpanions proceed with the ss change ceremony immediately. If they dy any longer, the sses they obtain won''t be as valuable."


    Hearing Janna''s words, Jeremy swiftly returned to the real world.


    "You should be ready by now, right? Since you''re prepared, let''s start the ss change right away!" Jeremy said directly to ire and Emma.


    Both ire and Emma were filled with anticipation.


    First up for the ss change ceremony was ire, who was the most well-prepared. Her ceremony was not particrlyplicated; she simply needed to use hypnosis topletely subdue a monster.


    To ensure ire''s sess, Jeremy had also called Bonnie and Ritchie to assist. Bonnie was skilled in frost spells, some of which had mind-controlling effects. So, if ire struggled to hypnotize the monster on her own, Bonnie could provide additional support.


    "Don''t worry, I''m confident that ire willplete the ss change sessfully. Besides, if I end up helping her, it will definitely diminish the effects of the ceremony," Bonnie said with a reassuring smile to Jeremy.


    Bonnie could tell that Jeremy was feeling a bit nervous and didn''t want him to be too anxious. In her opinion, the first ss change wasn''t all that dangerous, and Jeremy was putting himself under unnecessary pressure.


    Bonnie''s confidence stemmed from the fact that she didn''t fully understand the close bond between Jeremy, ire, and Emma. Jeremy was deeply concerned about ire and Emma''s safety. If it weren''t for the fact that they needed to level up to continue apanying him on his missions, Jeremy wouldn''t have insisted on them undergoing the ss change.


    As Jeremy and Bonnie spoke, ire continued using her mind control skills to hypnotize the transformed monster. Her ceremony went remarkably well, and it didn''t take long for her to sessfully subdue the creature in front of her.


    Shortly after, ire entered the ss change space. For a first-time ss change, the process typically took around ten minutes. During this time, Jeremy and the others were unable to provide any assistance to ire, leaving Jeremy to wait tensely in the real world.


    The ten minutes quickly passed, and ire reappeared before the group, a smile on her face. She turned to everyone and said,


    "I''vepleted the ss change, and I''ve got my new ss—Maniptor!" ire announced excitedly.


    The new ss ire had obtained was a significant enhancement of her natural abilities. The Maniptor ss was highly skilled in mind control, allowing ire to neutralize the mental interference from monsters during their missions with Jeremy. Moreover, at critical moments, ire could use the Maniptor''s skills to prevent monsters in battle from unleashing their full power.


    After briefly exining the details of the Maniptor ss, Jeremy and the others were thrilled. Jeremy walked up to ire, smiling warmly.


    "The Maniptor ss will be a huge asset to our entire team. I''m definitely taking you along for the uing adventures," he said.


    Hearing this, ire was overjoyed. She immediately hugged Jeremy. Witnessing this scene, both Emma and Bonnie felt a slight pang of jealousy. However, neither said anything because they knew that such behavior between ire and Jeremy waspletely natural.


    "Since you''vepleted the ss change, go ahead and get used to the new skills thate with your new ss. Now, it''s time for Emma to perform her ss change," Jeremy said, turning his gaze toward Emma.


    At this moment, Emma took a deep breath. Although she had spent a long time preparing for this ss change ceremony, she couldn''t shake the feeling that she wasn''t fully ready. She believed there was a real possibility that her ss change might fail.


    Noticing Emma''s unease, Jeremy spoke up reassuringly. "There''s no need to worry. Even if your ss change ceremony doesn''t go as nned, we''ll still be able to help youplete it. Besides, I think your abilities are already strong enough to ensure your sess."


    Encouraged by Jeremy''s words, Emma proceeded with her ss change ceremony. Her task was to revive a dying monster and then make the resurrected creature quickly perish again. Although the ceremony sounded simple, during the process, Emma could only use skills rted to life force.


    If she used skills rted to any other power, the effectiveness of the ceremony would be greatly reduced.


    Emma took out the green-glowing gemstone she had found earlier. With the help of its life energy, the dying monster quickly regained its health,pleting the first part of the ceremony without dy. However, in the second part of the ceremony, Emma encountered some difficulties.


    Despite her best efforts to use the skills she had mastered to kill the revived monster, it seemed that the creature was a bit too powerful. Jeremy''s expression grew increasingly tense as he watched, and he was even prepared to step in and help Emma take down the monster in front of her.


    But Bonnie grabbed Jeremy''s arm.


    "You have to stay calm! Even though Emma is facing some trouble in her ss change ceremony, we need to have enough faith in her. I believe Emma canplete the ss change on her own!" Bonnie''s words helped Jeremy regain hisposure, at least for the moment.


    After observing for a little while longer, Jeremy saw Emma finally seed inpleting the second part of the ceremony. The moment the ss change ceremony was fullypleted, Emma entered the ss change space.


    Ten minutester, Emma returned to the real world, smiling at the group.


    "I did it! Ipleted the ss change, and my new ss is Priest of Life! I can now draw life energy from monsters to heal all of you!" she announced excitedly.


    Hearing Emma''s words, smiles spread across everyone''s faces.


    Although the Priest of Life wasn''t a particrly powerful ss, it was a perfect fit for Emma. The role didn''t require her to be in the most dangerous positions during battle. Instead, as a Priest of Life, Emma could support her teammates from a safe distance by continuously manipting life energy to aid them.


    Moreover, the Priest of Life ss has a strong counter effect against undead monsters. The ss change results for both Emma and ire turned out to be excellent, and Jeremy couldn''t be happier.


    "With the two of youpleting your ss changes, our team''s overall strength has significantly increased. Take a day to stabilize your new powers, and tomorrow, we''ll venture into an instance for some real action!" Jeremy said to the group with a smile.


    Emma and ire nodded eagerly, both looking forward to the uing adventure in the instance. Meanwhile, Bonnie lowered her voice and asked Jeremy quietly, "So, what are your ns for tomorrow? Do you have something important to take care of?"


    "Of course, I do," Jeremy replied. "I need to take Ritchie to see Director Liam and collect the reward he promised us! Wepleted the Tower of Exile mission, so it''s only fair that we im what''s rightfully ours."


    Jeremy had high expectations for the reward he would receive. He was hoping for a powerful weapon, one that could make his uing adventures in the instances much smoother and more sessful.
