Chapter 331: Special Chosen Mode, Arrogance Module Fully Unlocked
"Hmm?" Lu Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had never seen this before.
Chosen Mode?
Wasn't it just the four standard difficulty levels - Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell? Although he always seemed to end up with Hell difficulty.
Where did this Chosen Mode come from?
"What kind of mode is Chosen Mode?"
......
"Chosen Mode is a special hidden game mode."
In the underground bunker room, the Elder Council members had gathered for another meeting.
Since they rarely moved about in the normal world, they had plenty of free time to observe every game played by "Sin."
The Grand Elder was addressing everyone while a holographic screen displayed an image - a frozen moment showing four people during the final ritual of "Wedding in Dreams" when they were absorbing energy.Sun wore a frenzied, savage expression above them, while Shui Zhongmeng stood nearby with an unpleasant look on his face.
Lu Ce, wearing his golden mask, gazed skyward, while the girl beside him watched him intently.
This frozen image now lay before all members of the Elder Council.
"As the name suggests, Chosen Mode refers to games personally designed by gods," the Grand Elder explained, pointing at the image.
"While all games might fundamentally be god-designed, Chosen Mode represents specially crafted games meant to help deities achieve certain objectives."
"Chosen Mode automatically registers as Hell difficulty, though sometimes it might not actually be that hard. Their thoughts are unfathomable - sometimes the tasks might be incredibly simple."
Except for a few elders, most listened with rapt attention, clearly hearing about this for the first time.
The Grand Elder had chosen today to reveal this information.
"Their mission was simple - just assist in properly completing the wedding ceremony."
"But..."
The Grand Elder's expression suddenly turned peculiar.
"This time, something clearly went wrong..."
"Perhaps even that god didn't anticipate what kind of bizarre individuals they'd selected for the game."
"Completely ignoring the game objectives, just barging in and messing around according to their whims... and they actually won!"
The Grand Elder grimaced as he spoke, as if the words pained him.
The creativity of today's youth was simply too much... What kind of person would think like this?
And such freaks had appeared - two and a half of them at once!
Besides "Sin" and "Sun," even that girl called "Blank" had tried to help the "princess" escape divine control at that moment.
What kind of mentality was this?
The kind that could run a psychiatric hospital!
"Hahahahaha!" Suddenly, one elder burst into laughter.
"Magnificent! The younger generation surpasses the old, doesn't it?"
"Grand Elder, you're not getting jealous of their talent, are you?"
"Humph!" The Grand Elder snorted coldly, clearly in no mood for jokes. He spoke gravely:
"Do you think this is a good thing?"
"That 'Sin,' and perhaps Sun too, achieving such peak strength so early - that's good."
"But this game went too far!"
His voice trembled slightly as he continued.
"In this game, they likely destroyed an avatar of a Chosen god!"
"Look at this final ritual - these might have been preparations the Chosen avatar made for itself, yet they absorbed it instead."
"This could... this very likely could cause 'Transcendence'!"
Silence fell over the Elder Council at the mention of Transcendence.
While some might have been hearing about Chosen Mode for the first time,
they all understood Transcendence perfectly.
Long ago, they'd realized one thing - the power contained within CHOSEN'S PARADISE! far exceeded human comprehension.
Neither the strongest past players nor the current strongest player "Sin" could oppose true divine power.
But this was a game, a "paradise," not actual hell. Each game had fundamental limits on difficulty and energy levels.
No one knew exactly where these limits lay, but they knew limits existed!
You might face Mike Tyson as a boxing novice, but you'd never have to fight Ultraman Taro.
Yet if these limits were broken, the game might raise its ceiling.
The global manifestation of CHOSEN'S PARADISE! itself represented a form of Transcendence reaction, since previously only a select few could participate.
The heavy silence grew oppressive.
"That 'Sin' fellow probably isn't afraid of Transcendence - his strength is indeed top-tier."
"But this could become a global-scale event!"
"He might be ready, but the rest of the world certainly isn't."
The Grand Elder fell silent, and the others followed suit until one who had spoken earlier asked:
"So, what can we do?"
"Nothing. We wait..." The Grand Elder sighed helplessly. "Perhaps... it hasn't happened yet."
