Chapter 312: The Lurking Blasphemer, Stealing!
Lu Ce's words fell as his entire body erupted with golden light. In the highest reaches of the sky, pink and golden radiance stood as equals, pressing against each other until it became impossible to tell which held dominance.
The eye sockets of the golden mask began flashing with intense golden light, possessing an almost soul-piercing quality as they burned fiercely while gazing at the distant "Princess."
Xie Antong's All-Seeing Eye trembled in midair, its operation becoming severely hindered. She didn't understand what she was experiencing - it felt as if everything around her had entered a state of obstruction.
Everything, even her own physical body, moved with painful slowness. Beyond her thoughts, all things seemed suppressed into this strange condition.
Was this... the sensation of divinity?!
She had never truly encountered such an existence before. Though she'd witnessed it twice already, during both previous encounters—whether during pleasure or life-and-death moments—it had always been Lu Ce facing it directly!
She had merely participated, avoiding direct confrontation.
This utterly overwhelming sense of powerlessness...
Was this... what he always experienced?
Moreover, she believed the pressure Lu Ce currently endured absolutely surpassed what bystanders like herself faced.Instinctively, she raised her head to look at that figure standing proudly atop the giant boulder. Wave after wave of oppressive force crashed against him, yet he appeared to grow even more formidable instead.
Had he really grown to this extent after just a few games?
Yet when she considered what those games had entailed, it somehow felt appropriate.
The All-Seeing Eye danced through the air, moving toward "Sin." She wanted to confirm whether he truly carried Death's Door with him.
Watching him gamble and struggle against divine beings, she truly felt that in reality, every game Sin played was a life-or-death gamble—he just happened to survive each time.
"Blank."
Suddenly, Lu Ce spoke without turning around, his words seeming to come from nowhere.
Xie Antong froze momentarily, unsure why he was calling her.
Lu Ce adjusted his mask with one hand, his cold voice emerging from beneath it. "From now until I deal with this trash..."
"You'd better stay away from me."
Xie Antong: ?
But she quickly understood—this might represent the last remnants of "Lu Ce's" rationality.
Based on past experience, the more power he wielded, the less rationality he retained. That time in Tokyo had practically been...
She nodded, recalling all her All-Seeing Eyes and keeping them circling at the outermost perimeter.
The moment Lu Ce perfectly adjusted his mask, he suddenly felt as if everything before him were mere ants, with the entire world beneath his feet!
Arrogance Mask Special Effect:
When suppressed by higher-tier existences, remain unaffected while strength and aura increase correspondingly—but the effects of arrogance multiply exponentially!
Now was that moment!
Even the "Princess" before him seemed momentarily stunned, frowning as she studied this man with a puzzled expression.
Something's wrong...
Why did this person radiate an aura similar to her own? Yet it felt completely unfamiliar!
"You... who are you?" she asked hesitantly. Logically, this should be a player—one of those low-tier existences.
Could this be a case of the river god attacking the dragon king—fellow deities fighting each other by mistake?
"I am myself."
Lu Ce replied indifferently. Then his golden mask displayed a look one might give to garbage as he regarded the "Princess" before him.
"Existence that serves as another's dog has no right to speak before me."
"What a pity that when I truly observe this world, I only face lowly trash like you."
"Princess": ?
What? Why did this person's arrogance surpass her own?
It felt like he'd stolen all her lines? What?
Instantly, her beautiful features twisted into undisguised fury.
"I don't care which faction's servant you belong to, but know this—you face the embodiment of Lust!"
"You're the inferior one here! No matter what existence backs you, offending me is—"
"Lust?" The golden mask tilted slightly higher. "What a feeble concept."
"Every word exchanged with you feels like an insult to my soul."
"Princess": ...
But what exactly was this thing?
She was currently the only being who dared claim to be the embodiment of Lust.
Due to the world's current state—with too much desire and too little love—Lust had lost its balance.
Thus, the Chosen of Lust had divided herself into countless fragments, dispersing across various planes to experience genuine love in every corner of existence.
When enough love had been collected, these countless fragments would reunite, with the most powerful fragment taking dominance.
The "Princess" before them was but one of the Chosen of Lust's many fragments—merely one among countless.
Yet she remained divine! Not some servant or divine messenger—her arrogance and superiority were every bit as potent as expected.
The problem was, this thing before her actually surpassed her in arrogance.
It left her momentarily speechless, utterly enraged.
"Do you know what I'm waiting for?" Lu Ce suddenly spoke again, taking a step forward as he regarded the "Princess."
"What?" she instinctively responded.
"I'm waiting for you... to amuse me."
"Princess": ?
"This can't be your full strength. I hope you hurry up and demonstrate something that might make this fight mildly interesting."
"When fireflies compare themselves to the moon, it's overreach for the firefly but boredom for the moon—do you understand? Because the moon cannot see the firefly."
"I cannot see you, feeble god."
The "Princess's" expression contorted violently—who did this bastard think he was pretending to be?
His current aura barely matched hers! His strength didn't even surpass her own!
"Hah!"
The Chosen of Lust actually laughed in her fury.
"Fine! Fine! You've said it yourself. I look forward to seeing your expression when reality hits you."
In the next instant, she suddenly waved her hand. The air instantly dyed pink, and all those affected developed dazed expressions as if immersed in beautiful romance.
Then the Chosen of Lust's power began multiplying exponentially. Her delicate frame seemed to expand thousands upon thousands of times, becoming mountain-like in scale.
"Hehehe, you—"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Before the "Princess's" laughter could conclude, a booming guffaw suddenly erupted from the castle's base, followed by consecutive explosions as a massive fireball came crashing upward!
That player sealed at the beginning—the battlefield's second strongest combatant, Sun—came rocketing up like a missile.
"Sun and moon alternate! Cycles revolve!"
"Thank you both!"
Under the "Princess's" stunned gaze, vast quantities of pink in the air began converging into a massive current, all streaming toward one direction—
Directly toward that incoming fireball!
