Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 510: Declaration of War — He Might... Not Be a Divine Emissary!

Xie Antong was momentarily stunned. Hearing such "normal" speech patterns from the other party made her temporarily unable to process it properly.

It was like you had been communicating with a mentally ill person, then suddenly they started saying something quite logical.

How could the other party's thought process suddenly become so clear, completely lacking the chaotic, disjointed feeling that Gluttony normally exhibited in his usual state?

But after these words were spoken, she could simultaneously feel the aura emanating from him—that violent, explosive sensation as if he might detonate at any moment...

had grown even more intense!

Only then did she suddenly understand that mental chaos was probably Gluttony's self-protection mechanism.

If he forcibly suppressed his chaotic mind and forced himself back to rationality, the backlash he would suffer was likely unprecedented!

Lu Ce was holding her body, gripping her hand, and forcibly pressing it against the gray button again and again.

Moreover, Gluttony showed no signs of continuing his chaotic state. Instead, he abruptly turned his head to look at the many large screens behind him.

By now, more and more rooms were being selected for punishment. Everyone had the chance to experience the wonders of hell without waiting in line.When that crimson face looked over, almost everyone's breathing became erratic.

Those eyes seemed capable of piercing through space, breaking the constraints of Tongue-Ripping Hell, and seeing them directly.

That feeling of being stared at like prey made them instinctively uncomfortable.

"Everyone, I'm giving you two choices."

"You can press the button yourselves, making it impossible for me to find you sooner."

"Or, you can choose to wait—wait for me to find you, then I'll kill you first before attending to my own matters."

Perhaps Gluttony was truly approaching his limit, as he had started using phrases like "kill you" rather than "eat you."

"Additionally."

Gluttony suddenly looked up at the sky, baring his sharp teeth with a hint of laughter.

"That Aladdin's Lamp-like thing."

"Haven't you been playing dead for a bit too long?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely meet... hehe."

The Bearded Divine Messenger: ...

Was this some kind of... declaration of war?

He remained silent, merely continuing to manipulate each room.

In the other rooms, everyone who heard such direct provocation and threats reacted differently.

Chiyo Ming, submerged in the blood pool, slightly curled the corner of her mouth but couldn't muster much charm.

There was no helping it—in that man's eyes, aside from appetite, she hadn't seen any other desires.

"What a terrifying fellow~."

Club Ace snorted coldly, really wanting to say something tough.

But for some reason, deep in his heart, he felt somewhat fortunate he hadn't encountered this guy earlier.

So he said nothing, simply prepared for battle and began pressing the gray button in his own room.

Meanwhile, Xu Long was somewhat enjoying the spectacle. Soaking in lava without currently being punished, he actually laughed heartily upon hearing Lu Ce's words:

"Haha! Quite the character. The moment he speaks, it's still the same old him."

...

Regardless of what others thought, after speaking, his body swayed as if he had expended too much rationality, nearly collapsing on the spot.

Even Xie Antong, whom he was holding, swayed along with him twice.

[: Crazy! This is the feeling, this is the "Sin" I'm familiar with.]

[: Exactly! No holding back at all. None of this cooperation nonsense—this is the feeling of entering and immediately considering everyone an enemy by default.]

[: Why did that low-intelligence state seem somewhat cool for a moment just now?]

Xie Antong glanced at the game's live stream and thought, isn't this conversation problematic now?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you stop forcing me to press this button and just kill me so you can press it yourself?

So she gritted her teeth and said directly:

"So then, you... shouldn't you just kill me directly?"

"What do you mean, are you looking down on me?!"

Her thinking was still stuck in the phase where she and Lu Ce were cooperating with each other.

However, what she didn't know was that after speaking those sentences, this guy had already returned to his intelligence-reset state.

Completely unaware of any problems or loopholes, he was back to being unable to understand human speech.

"Ah... right."

He spoke confusedly while pressing the button confusedly.

Then he started muttering to himself again:

"What 'right'? Uh, forget it..."

"Who are you? Why are you in my hand?"

Xie Antong: ...

Alright, this guy had already said what needed to be said. There was no communicating with him now.

"You smell so good..."

Hearing this phrase again, Xie Antong screamed internally:

Could you please not make a phrase that could be quite ambiguous sound so terrifying!

The repeated punishment enhancements had made the restraints binding her exceptionally rigid, impossible to break free from.

But since the Little Devil had been eaten right at the start, there was no one to administer punishments. She had become just a button-pressing machine.

There really were quite a few bugs in these hell rooms...

By now she didn't know what to say anymore. She just felt that the guy before her might truly be approaching his limit.

Perhaps, depending on the situation, she should try merging with the Pleasure power again.

Suddenly, the All-Seeing Eye transmitted information back, causing her whole body to tremble. The green light above her head lit up.

Through persistent, unrelenting selection of the gray button, they had finally lit this hell room's indicator to green.

"Oh? It's done..."

Seeing the situation before him, Lu Ce threw Xie Antong in his hand far away, tossing her to the other side of the room.

She landed on the ground.

Xie Antong: ?

Wait, although it seemed they had cleared the level, it appeared the restraints on her body still couldn't be removed.

Above, another green light had lit up—she didn't know whose it was.

In this hellish game, aside from "Sin," had someone finally managed to press their own green light?!

But she had no time to see who it was. She was just puzzled—why throw her so far away?

From the looks of it, did Lu Ce... not intend to let her leave this room?!

Under her gaze filled with confusion and shock, the crimson Gluttony in the distance had already pressed the gray button before him himself.

He vanished from the spot.

Only the gray button remained, sitting lonely in place.

That's right—Lu Ce had thrown her away using his rationality. There were things he couldn't articulate properly with words, so it was better not to let her get involved.

Because...

As Gluttony continued devouring, he seemed to have developed some powerful sense of smell regarding "food."

He kept feeling that the Bearded Divine Messenger's scent was different from other Divine Messengers.

He... didn't seem like a Divine Messenger!
