Chapter 460: At Last, I Finally Have the Chance to Stand Before You Like This
The exchange between the two was utterly meaningless, almost like they were just exchanging pleasantries.
Yet after they spoke, the very atmosphere in the space grew razor-sharp.
It was as if the air currents throughout the area had become filled with razor blades.
Fortunately, all three present were top-tier combatants who could withstand it without issue.
None of them even seemed to notice.
If someone like the nose-ring guy had been here, they'd probably be struggling by now.
Sun looked back and forth between the two, his expression showing excitement yet his eyes filled with solemn gravity.
His excitement and concern stemmed from the same observation.
Though both had returned to their original appearances and were easily distinguishable, their auras both carried that intense, divine quality.
How did both of these people suddenly become Divine Envoys just from a simple disagreement?![Game triggering special circumstance!]
[Game now entering berserk mode!]
Suddenly, the game's voice echoed throughout the entire haunted house range, reaching every player's ears.
This time the voice was purely mechanical, suggesting that when the relevant game's "referee" entered the field, the game voice would switch to this mode.
Everyone within the haunted house, regardless of faction, froze simultaneously.
Injured players like Qingshuang and the black man, both covered in wounds, felt their hearts skip a beat in unison.
Then more and more figures emerged around them, various attacks pouring down like a violent storm.
The irony was that this announcement actually only concerned the three-person battlefield where Lu Ce was - it had nothing to do with the other players.
These three were actually bearing the game's final and greatest pressure, but the other players didn't know this, and some were even fighting more fiercely than before.
Including those still outside the amusement park - the Verbalist Black and White were still battling, their conflict nearly erasing the very laws of existence.
"Hahahaha! Berserk mode? This is it?" Jealousy's voice roared with laughter, the exaggerated features on his pink mask seeming ready to leap off and bite someone.
"A mentally fractured guy gets healed and that's called berserk mode?"
"How cheap."
"Mentally fractured? Are you referring to someone with eight ugly faces?" Xie Antong retorted with equal sarcasm.
Now she truly embodied some of "Pleasure's" charm.
As she spoke, she stepped toward "Sin," her pure white feet treading on the darkest ground as she closed the distance step by step.
Simultaneously, her powerful aura pressed forward. The overloaded Jealousy naturally didn't retreat, standing his ground with that malicious expression.
Only when they were less than a meter apart did she slowly stop.
Xie Antong's voice carried the same aggressiveness as she spoke to "Sin."
"How rare... I finally have the chance to stand before you like this."
No one understood what she was really saying - it sounded somewhat inexplicable.
"Remember last time, in Pleasure's game, that offshore casino."
"When it reached the end, it seemed like I was facing you too, but back then I chose mental combat since I had no other choice."
"And now, it's the second time, hehe."
"Are we going to start with physical combat this time?"
As she spoke, Xie Antong leaned forward, staring directly at that pink face.
"Seems like this face's combat power is somewhat weak..."
Xie Antong's voice carried the same aggressiveness as she spoke to "Sin."
"Should we switch to that green face now?"
As her words faded, the smile instantly vanished from Jealousy's face, replaced by an unusually gloomy and terrifying expression.
No one understood what she was really saying - it sounded somewhat inexplicable.
Xie Antong wore a smile, dangerous light flashing in her pupils as she spoke word by word:
"I said..."
"Jealousy is weaker than Wrath!"
Boom!
If Jealousy hadn't already been overloaded, this statement alone might have pushed him over the edge!
While the two exchanged provocations and "friendly" greetings, Sun unusually refrained from playing the brute.
He kept watching Xie Antong, sensing her manner of speaking, feeling out her every state.
He just felt that something seemed very off.
Originally, when he saw Blank choose to merge with that Pleasure thing, he felt it was somewhat regrettable.
He thought this behavior amounted to spiritual suicide, completely irrational - the kind of wrong path one takes for power.
But listening now, he started feeling like the situation might not be what he assumed.
As her words faded, the smile instantly vanished from Jealousy's face, replaced by an abnormally gloomy and terrifying expression.
Instead, the previous "Pleasure" seemed to have disappeared.
The same confusion primarily occurred among the Dragon Group's council of elders.
In the underground facility, when Xie Antong "ascended," all the elders had already reached peak tension, especially the Grand Elder.
This was completely behavior approaching divinity - probably no one in this world had imagined that the first to take this step would be her...
Yet they also hadn't expected Xie Antong to maintain such a high degree of autonomy in her current state.
"From the looks of it, her fusion form with that Pleasure power seems to be a kind of co-control, with simultaneous initiative."
"Strange... could it really be this form? Doesn't seem like a 'god's' style."
The grim-browed elder spoke, offering his assessment.
"Little Xie's earlier words had some effect," the Grand Elder's voice came leisurely. "But more importantly, Pleasure might be doing this intentionally!"
"He's... seducing!"
The group fell silent. The elder with the somewhat rough voice asked:
"This power should only be temporary fusion, right? Can't she separate later?"
"Perhaps she can, perhaps she can't," the Grand Elder replied.
"But would anyone truly give up? This is equivalent to directly ascending in some sense!"
"Letting someone who might never have hoped to become world number one suddenly experience ascension-level wonderful power, even directly suppressing 'Sin'!"
"Your initial thought might be to maintain your original heart before such power, but perhaps soon, you'll unconsciously corrupt, leaning toward that power, completely voluntarily assimilating, being devoured."
"Like some people who always claim they can resist the temptation of money and power, but in reality, it's probably because those temptations never truly presented themselves before them."
As the Grand Elder spoke, beneath his black robe, his eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging as he stared fixedly at the screen showing what appeared to be Xie Antong's second form.
"She... won't withstand it!"
