Chapter 520: Joyful Contempt, Can I ask a question?
"It seems your vigilance isn't maintained at all times."
Xie Antong wore a somewhat mocking smile as she looked at the screen before her.
Several incense sticks were burning in the small pouch on her chest, while a jade pendant emitted a soft glow.
Because her strength had always been relatively weak, the large number of items she purchased were primarily focused on survival, concealment, and escape.
She had even managed to obtain something as heaven-defying as the Gate of Death.
During the earlier situation, her various survival methods had come in handy.
Her aura concealment combined with her own "stimulation" ability had reduced her attention level to absolute zero.
Moreover, since it was "Sin" who had dealt with the Little Devil in her room earlier, that entity's attention would naturally be mostly focused on "Sin" no matter what.
Not on herself.
No matter how cautious an existence might be, it's impossible to devote the same level of attention and vigilance to every single person."Every kind of existence has its own unique weaknesses."
"Hah, and they talk about 'divine' perspective that mortals can't comprehend."
"Really laughable, just to fool a few idiots, they'll say anything that comes to mind."
Xie Antong, now imbued with Pleasure's temperament, looked through the screen at Judgment with what could almost be described as contempt.
After merging with Pleasure, she actually felt a sense of superiority toward Judgment, this so-called righteous god.
Who knows how the internal ranking among these "gods" works—perhaps Pleasure ranks higher than him.
"Boring..."
Xie Antong shook her head while speaking, simultaneously continuing to press the buttons.
She looked at the frenzied Lu Ce on the screen, that Gluttony who kept charging forward and could actually fight Judgment.
Yet she shook her head with clear disapproval.
"How did he become something like this? It's like he's turned into an oversized Sun."
"His playstyle has become rather dull."
"Don't you think?" As she spoke, she turned to look at the player who originally belonged to this room.
The player: ?
You're asking me?
She didn't know what to say at this moment. This person had appeared out of nowhere and instantly defeated her.
After realizing she was no match, the other party told her to stay put quietly if she didn't want to continue as enemies.
Then she went to press those gray buttons while constantly muttering strange things.
To be honest, that god had already appeared! On the highest-level battlefield, the strongest players were already fighting Judgment!
She had been completely stunned watching it, never imagining you could actually fight against the game organizers within the game itself!
And now, you're still here pressing buttons?!
Although the original player of this hell didn't dare to speak, she looked at Xie Antong with a peculiar expression.
Everyone said Blank was famous for her rational, meticulous calculations and analysis, so why did she now seem a bit crazy...
"Hehe..."
Xie Antong kept pressing buttons while staring at the distant screen, letting out an eerie laugh.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Where exactly does your deepest fear lie..."
......
In the Boiling Oil Cauldron Hell, there was no longer any feeling of it being the Boiling Oil Cauldron Hell—it had completely become a battlefield belonging to "gods."
Club Ace floated in the air, his body cracked open as if exploded by special energy, his soul seemingly extracted from within.
Then, that gaseous, soul-like substance floated in the air, gradually merging and condensing with Judgment's power.
Afterward, his previously exploded flesh reassembled, forming a new person.
He appeared completely intact, no different from Club Ace before his ascension.
But Perfect Life, with his yin-yang hands, could already sense the emptiness of the other's aura.
Even searching with his previous sensing ability, it now felt like this person barely existed.
Everything happened very quickly—from the start of the ascension to its completion, thanks to Club Ace's cooperation, it took only dozens of seconds.
[: So fast?]
[: Wait, is this ascension? Why is it so different from Blank's last time? The version differences are way too big.]
[: Completely don't understand. "Sin" keeps refusing true ascension, and all this feels so sinister.]
When Club Ace stood on the ground again, he himself looked equally confused.
Looking at his current state and the surging power, he remained silent.
"Very good..."
Judgment looked satisfiedly at his handiwork, as large amounts of Tungsten Gold instantly condensed, encasing Club Ace in an impenetrable state.
Boom!
At the same moment, another explosion sounded, but this time, it wasn't just Lu Ce who was sent flying back.
Even Judgment's massive body swayed, with the Tungsten Gold armor on his shoulder area shattering extensively!
Because he had consumed energy to give Club Ace his "ascension," that momentary opening had been captured by Lu Ce.
But this time, Gluttony didn't continue charging forward. Instead, he landed on all fours, forcefully pounding the ground.
He was becoming increasingly accustomed to this form of the Gluttony mask.
Judgment as a training partner was actually quite meaningful.
However, his body was truly beginning to struggle to support itself, making it difficult to control his limbs.
"Hah, what's wrong? Can't keep up?"
Seeing this madman finally showing signs of exhaustion, Judgment's tone carried a hint of smugness for the first time.
The Tungsten Gold armor on his body recondensed, preventing any potential weaknesses from being exposed—showing sufficient caution.
Then, without needing to speak, the now upgraded Club Ace stirred up an icy gust of wind as he charged toward the currently exhausted Lu Ce!
The power he now possessed was clearly a whole tier stronger than before!
Perfect Life and Xu Long simultaneously charged from left and right, exchanging somewhat strange glances with each other midway.
The confusion in their eyes was identical.
—Someone actually willing to help someone like "Sin"?
Watching his newly acquired subordinate pounce forward, with the previous variables and threats gradually diminishing, Judgment's expression finally relaxed somewhat.
"It seems not everyone has grasped the opportunity of ascension."
Suddenly, a voice came from the room:
"Then may I ask a question?"
"What?" Judgment, having briefly escaped Gluttony's attacks, instinctively replied.
But the moment he spoke, he sharply realized something was wrong!
Who was speaking?!
It seemed... not one of the original people in this room!
