Chapter 324: Sudden Chaos, A Heart Full of Hatred
After the power of the Lust God's Chosen could no longer maintain stability and chose to "self-destruct," there should have been wave after wave of energy explosions until everything was completely depleted and destroyed.
Even Xie Antong stood up cautiously, preparing to evade the impending energy bursts.
However, as the Sun charged forward, the energy abruptly stopped after the first explosion, as if the violent power had vanished in an instant.
The Sun stood in place, the flames covering his body extinguishing immediately as the energy was absorbed.
He became completely motionless, reverting to his original human form—a middle-aged, 1.9-meter-tall muscular man.
But his current state was clearly abnormal!
His eyes had turned completely pink, and bulging pink veins, like writhing little snakes, covered his exposed skin.
Beneath his specially crafted leather suit, flickering pink light seeped out, pulsing intermittently.
The glow on his body brightened and dimmed unpredictably, resembling a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.
Yet, according to the All-Seeing Eye's observations, his aura was strikingly similar to Lu Ce's sudden power surge earlier.Both were humans influencing magnetic fields, even generating something akin to "gravitational force."
But unlike Lu Ce, this man's energy was... far too unstable!
That erratic fluctuation... and the power of the Lust God's Chosen was too overwhelming.
Could he... be on the verge of being possessed?!
Wait—did he just charge in to die?!
The battlefield fell eerily silent. Under the sunlight illuminating the ruins, everyone seemed frozen, staring at the Sun standing at the center.
At this moment, the Sun had truly become a "sun," his body expanding and contracting like a pulsating fireball...
Most terrifyingly, large cracks had begun to spread across his skin.
He looked like he was in dire straits.
Both Xie Antong and Shui Zhongmeng stood dumbfounded, their mouths slightly agape as they watched the bizarre spectacle at the center.
No one knew what to do next.
But someone did.
Lu Ce observed the Sun, whose aura was wildly unstable and surging, and gave a slight nod.
"Ballsy."
Then, gripping his axe with both hands, he spun mid-air, channeling all his momentum into a single devastating strike aimed straight at the Sun's head!
BOOM!
The axe's impact produced a deafening roar, an explosion of golden and pink light instantly flooding the sky.
The Sun's body visibly sank, his feet plunging deep into the ground as he staggered unsteadily.
A massive gash split his forehead, but instead of blood, only pink light spilled forth.
"Heh heh..."
The Sun grinned unnaturally, lifting his gaze to meet Lu Ce's.
"Nice... hit."
Earlier, his consciousness had already begun fading, but Lu Ce's murderous axe strike somehow sharpened his focus again.
The next second, flames erupted across the Sun's body once more, and despite the cracks covering him, he charged straight at Lu Ce!
Keep in mind, he was currently stealing the divine power of the Lust God's Chosen, struggling against its lingering will to avoid being fully possessed.
Yet he believed fighting on the brink of death was the best way forward!
"Of course it was a good hit. Did I need your approval?"
Perhaps the Sun's audacity in stealing divine power earned a sliver of Lu Ce's respect, as he actually responded.
As the Sun lunged at him, Lu Ce welcomed the challenge, swinging his massive axe to meet the attack head-on.
Whatever the Sun's motives were, if he wanted a fight, Lu Ce would never back down.
Gold and pink clashed once more, the spectacle no different from Lu Ce's earlier battle with the princess.
This was just another round in Lu Ce's relentless chain of battles.
True to his reputation as the fastest-clearing brute among players, even in this life-or-death moment, the Sun only cared about fighting Lu Ce.
He had an obsession with this battle—now that he finally had power, he wouldn't miss the chance.
Their clash was sudden, seemingly without reason. They just wanted to fight.
But Xie Antong reacted swiftly. Seeing Lu Ce engage, she immediately deployed the All-Seeing Eye while gripping the Soulburn Incense.
Before she could light it, however, her brows furrowed, and she leaped aside just as Shui Zhongmeng appeared where she had stood.
His palm strike meeting empty air, Shui Zhongmeng turned to her in surprise.
"Miss Blank, this isn't your forte, is it?"
"You should know your place in a fight like this."
Behind her helmet, Xie Antong's black hair began floating as if caught in an unfelt wind.
She smirked at Shui Zhongmeng.
"Oh? Are you stronger than Chiyo Eine?"
Shui Zhongmeng: "..."
The group suddenly descended into chaotic skirmishes, leaving spectators utterly bewildered about who to support.
But the most bewildered of all was the lingering soul of the Lust God's Chosen inside the Sun's body.
At first, upon entering the Sun's body, it had felt a surge of triumph—against all odds, it had found a way to survive!
Was this idiot really offering himself up for possession?!
But soon, it realized something was wrong. First, its will had been too weakened to exert full control.
Second...
What kind of mind had it just entered?!
It was the Lust God's Chosen, but this man's psyche was overflowing with hatred—a seething, all-consuming desire to burn the world to ashes, as if everything owed him destruction.
Alongside that hatred raged an overwhelming lust—not for pleasure, but for power at any cost.
In this world, the strongest wills were often the most extreme.
The Sun's soul was so fiercely extreme that the weakened Lust God's Chosen couldn't overpower it immediately, resulting in a stalemate.
And even now, this madman still wanted to fight?!
What the—?!
Today had been an eye-opener for the Lust God's Chosen. What kind of lunatics were these people?! Had the world gone completely insane?!
