Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 197: Overload, the Clown Beneath the Night

“Hahahaha! Even though the Perfect Completion of this game was supposed to be mine anyway, you’ve got to try and fight for it too, right?”

The Greed Mask's expression was now so exaggerated it seemed to spill out from the mask itself—unrestrained and eerie. After speaking, he cracked himself up, pointing at “Sun” and laughing hard.

Then, he once again covered his face and muttered to himself in a low voice:

“Calm down, don’t get too excited, don’t have too much fun……”

Among the four people in this battlefield, he looked like a madman—taunting everyone and talking to himself.

Chiyo Eine and Xie Antong were both stunned at the scene.

Chiyo Eine was confused. These two were already cooperating, yet still this hostile?

Xie Antong, on the other hand, felt uneasy. She didn’t know whether Lu Ce’s provocations might actually set Sun off. If the top two players started a civil war here, it was definitely game over for her.

To be honest, she already felt it was over—but because “Sin” was still present, she chose to believe in a miracle just a little longer.

Besides, “Sin” looked like he was getting more and more unhinged.Based on what she had seen before, “Sin’s” personal strength often increased in inverse proportion to his rationality.

“Alright, go ahead, go ahead. Just pick a spot and use a big move. I don’t need to teach you how, right?”

Lu Ce seemed to have had enough fun with himself and waved his hand dismissively, as if swatting away a fly.

He was signaling Sun to go ahead.

Right now, Sun’s whole body temperature was sky-high—he had truly gone red-hot. The flames beneath his feet burned straight through the Black Water, turning the ground into lava.

He really wanted to strike.

But Lu Ce’s suggestion was clearly a trap laid in the open. Both of them pursued strength, and both wanted a Perfect Completion.

To achieve that, they had to take down the powerful Hunters. “Sin” had already slain one—he himself also needed to handle more of those things.

In the previous game decryption, he hadn’t helped much. Most of it was “Blank” talking, and “Sin” completed it in the end.

If he now insisted on fighting “Sin” no matter what, then Perfect Completion would be impossible.

He stood in place, energy around him boiling like he might explode, staring hard at “Sin.”

Finally, he only said calmly:

“Such a pity. In this game’s team division, I’m forced to be on the same side as you.”

“But luckily, I’ve got a feeling—we’ll get our fight eventually.”

Lu Ce shrugged, replying like he’d just heard a great joke:

“Don’t be so pessimistic. Look on the bright side—if you’re bad enough, you might just die here.”

Sun: #

Chiyo Eine now realized she was being ignored and immediately spoke up:

“Don’t bother thinking so much. None of you are getting out of here……”

But just as she spoke, a fire dragon spiraled in the sky like a demon from hell, charging at her in fury.

Then, “Sun” didn’t say another word and transformed into a rocket, flying off toward the horizon.

Just as he was about to leave Chiyo Eine’s area of control, her eyes went cold. A Black Water snake lunged to swallow the dragon, and she raised her hand to stop him.

But just as she handled the fire dragon, her heart skipped a beat—and a figure appeared before her eyes.

——Lu Ce.

After holding back for so long, the world’s number one finally made his move.

Facing “Sin,” even Chiyo Eine didn’t dare to be careless. She immediately lost focus.

Then—a book smacked her right in the face!

Instantly, tears poured down—not from pain, but sorrow.

Confessions of the Disillusioned!

A flood of emotions engulfed her in an instant. The massive Black Water array beneath her wavered violently. Sun didn’t even struggle—he just dashed out of her control zone and vanished.

Poor Chiyo Eine. She had just gotten used to Sun’s explosive brute-force style, but now she didn’t expect the world’s number one to be this underhanded.

What kind of move makes people cry uncontrollably?!

Black Water surged. Chiyo Eine quickly melted into it and escaped—she didn’t dare get too close to this world number one.

When she reappeared again, Lu Ce stood in the distance, not chasing her, but mocking:

“And you said none of us could escape. The guy just flew off, and you’re even more useless than him.”

Chiyo Eine was still calming herself down. She was crying like a weeping flower, her eyes red and streaming, pointing at Lu Ce and shouting:

“You… as the strongest in the world…”

Before she could finish, Lu Ce pinched his throat and mimicked her: “As the strongest in the world, how can you use such a move~”

“I’ve been super gentlemanly, okay? I’ve got even dirtier tricks—like one that gives you instant diarrhea from gastroenteritis. I didn’t even use that on you.”

Hearing that, Chiyo Eine’s lower body instinctively clenched up. Her brain short-circuited a little—she couldn’t even cry anymore.

“Just kidding. If I had that skill, I’d have used it already. Maybe next time.”

He even waved his hand as he spoke.

Right now, Lu Ce wouldn’t shut up—relentlessly and shamelessly attacking Chiyo Eine’s mental state. He hadn’t even made another move, but she was already struggling.

But while he was tormenting her, behind him, Xie Antong furrowed her brows.

She realized—“Sin” seemed to have become someone else.

All that muttering and suppression from before was gone. He now moved with total ease and self-possession.

Though he looked laid-back and humorous, the danger radiating from him was rising exponentially.

“Hi~”

Xie Antong was stunned to see the Blue Mask suddenly flash into view in front of her and greet her.

“You should be fine, right~”

“What?”

“Give me an earpiece.”

Xie Antong was startled again. The tone of that sentence was completely different—it even sounded familiar to her.

But she reacted quickly. No time to think, no hesitation—she handed him one of the teleportation earpieces they’d used to communicate during Challenge Mode.

“Help me later—send coordinates.”

After saying that, the Blue Mask turned around and looked up at the pitch-black night sky.

He said nothing and didn’t move, but she could feel it—the person before her was changing rapidly.

It felt like someone else had entered the body—or rather, something sealed inside had just been released.

Under the black night sky, the mask twisted and warped, as if fusing with his face.

“Sin’s” limbs appeared to be stiffening. A hoarse, ghostly voice echoed through the night air.

“Hehehe... nice weather, huh....”

Greed, Overload!
