Chapter 340: Perfect Life; We Don't Exist in His Eyes
Hearing Sun's words, Wu Changkong, Shui Zhongmeng, and some Dragon Nation players around him were stunned.
At first, they thought Sun had suddenly lost his mind, coming here to spout nonsense and pick fights again.
But his statement made everyone realize something was off.
The white-robed man also froze momentarily, slightly raising his eyes to look at Sun in the distance.
Under his robe, the corners of his mouth curled upward.
"Hah, impressive."
"This world is always so strange. Why do smart people pretend to be fools?"
Sun showed no reaction to the compliment, instead replying:
"Perhaps because fools all think they're smart."
The white-robed man paused, then chuckled as he scanned the crowd and said:"Very well, since you've said so, I can be more honest."
"Truthfully, I don't think much of everyone present here."
Though spoken softly, his words inexplicably reached every ear clearly, startling many.
Earlier, people had observed and interacted with each other.
This white-robed man had seemed pleasant - humble, polite, like a refined gentleman.
Now...
"My apologies. While I may somewhat look down on you all, I bear no ill will."
"I know such words might offend, so I usually wouldn't say them. But since someone asked, I won't lie either."
"Please forgive me."
As he spoke, the white-robed man gave a slight bow to everyone.
His actions and words left people utterly confused.
The white-robed man continued:
"I came today with sincere curiosity, wanting to know what kind of person could possibly rank above me."
"There's an old saying in Huaguo: 'When you meet someone better, strive to equal them.'"
"I'd be delighted to find someone superior to me."
"Unfortunately, it was all an illusion - just a game-created phantom of omnipotence."
"I'm somewhat disappointed, and perhaps spoke rudely. My apologies."
On the Japanese side, Chiyo Eine and Chiyo Ji's expressions turned strange as they listened to the translation.
"Uh... is this guy mentally ill, sis?" Chiyo Ji looked bewildered, then turned to the translator. "Or did you mistranslate?"
But Chiyo Eine pulled him back, her face grave as she stared at the white-robed man.
She seemed to realize who this person was...
The white-robed man looked dejected, shaking his head as he muttered to himself:
"I should have known - how could there possibly be someone more perfect than me..."
"Ah, I've spoiled everyone's mood. My apologies. I'll take my leave now - please continue."
Once again, he prepared to depart.
"Gonna talk shit then leave?" Sun called out. "Name!"
The white-robed man turned back: "Perfect Life."
"Let me translate what you just said," Sun continued.
Perfect Life: ?
He looked puzzled.
"Your entire speech boils down to one sentence:"
"—You're here to die!"
Flame armor enveloped Sun's body as he grew toweringly large, radiating terrifying power at the center of the gathering.
Everyone stepped back as the heat waves made them feel like they stood at a volcano's mouth.
Perfect Life seemed surprised, then sighed.
"Why?"
"Even so, you choose anger? Human pride is truly bizarre."
"I merely spoke my honest thoughts to avoid hypocrisy - especially since they're factual."
"I know it might sound unpleasant, hence my repeated apologies. Yet you still wish to attack me?"
Sun remained silent. Having interacted with "Sin" many times, he knew exactly how to deal with such rambling lunatics.
—Just fight!
No matter how many philosophies this world had, he knew one truth:
Win the fight, and everything's negotiable. Lose, and words mean nothing!
Sun took a thunderous step forward as combat seemed imminent.
But just then, a golden-eyed individual suddenly looked into the distance.
He blew a piercing whistle that echoed across Penglai Island.
"Alert."
"Missiles incoming!"
Heads swiveled toward the horizon.
Coming from different nations and factions, they weren't overly concerned about worldly attacks.
Yet they remained vigilant - after all, few could confidently survive missile strikes now.
On the distant skyline, a missile entered everyone's view.
Uniquely, it trailed long fins, its black-red exhaust blazing ominously - even from afar, its killing intent was palpable.
Dragon Group members in the distance froze.
—Huaguo didn't launch any missiles!
Suddenly, Perfect Life looked up, golden eyes glowing strangely beneath his white hood.
Seeing the black-red missile, he first appeared shocked, then instantly delighted.
"It's him!"
"Excellent, excellent! The protagonist should always arrive last."
Soon, those with sharper vision among the crowd recognized the approaching object.
Not a missile - but a war chariot carrying a single figure.
Who rode it?
Chiyo Eine, Sun and others quickly identified him.
"Quite the dramatic entrance..." Sun grinned.
Meanwhile, Chiyo Eine's eyes burned with raging jealousy.
Her fists clenched so tightly her entire body began trembling uncontrollably.
Beside her, Chiyo Ji watched nervously.
"Sis... you..."
The Penglai Island crowd noticed too, stirring restlessly until realizing something odd:
—He wasn't slowing down!
He showed no intention of landing on the island!
Perfect Life's golden pupils shone with ecstatic fervor mixed with ambitious hunger, his body trembling excitedly:
"Good, good, GOOD!"
"We don't exist in his eyes!"
"AS IT SHOULD BE!!!"
