Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 532: “Assistance” from [War], and the Tough Guy Behind the Mask

The voice appeared at such an inopportune moment, like a narrator suddenly popping out from nowhere during the most critical life-or-death scene of a movie.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at the suddenly mocking Xie Antong in the distance.

Xu Long: ?

Chiyo Ming: ?

Xu Long was already cursing internally, thinking that young people these days were just too reckless!

Why was this girl looking for death for no reason? China had finally produced these talents, and now both of them were going to perish here today?

Did that mean China's new generation of talents would only have Sun left?

Ah, this...

Chiyo Ming's eyes were currently bleeding as she looked somewhat confused at "Blank."

This person seemed quite different from what her descendant had described...Why exactly did you choose this moment to come out and seek death?

After delivering that mocking remark, Xie Antong felt that her fusion compatibility with the Pleasure power inside her seemed to have reached a new level.

It seemed Pleasure always enjoyed doing things like this.

That guy had quite a sharp tongue in that circle...

But this wasn't what Xie Antong had initially thought of—her brain had been rapidly processing for a long time, and this was the only way she could think of to defuse the situation.

She hoped Lu Ce would be considered dead rather than truly making an enemy of [War].

That would really be biting off more than one could chew.

Trying to save this irrational madman was truly too difficult.

"Hmm?"

[War] perhaps hadn't expected this either, looking up to glance at Xie Antong.

He might have been somewhat puzzled—why were there so many players who didn't know their place during this rare visit?

From His perspective, Xie Antong was just a Divine Messenger of [Pleasure], or something similar—He didn't really care.

How dare something like this speak in His presence?

But considering it was Pleasure... that might actually be somewhat possible.

"Your opinion is not needed here."

[War] casually waved His hand, and a fierce gale instantly swept through, the entire room seeming to be vacuum-sealed in that moment!

Boom!

Amid the explosive roar, Chiyo Ming was directly sent flying, collapsing to one side, while Xie Antong's figure was thrown directly against the wall.

Fortunately, due to rule restrictions, no real damage was caused as intended. After heavily crashing against the wall and coughing up a mouthful of blood, she slowly slid down.

"No rationality?"

[War]'s voice snorted coldly as He directly grabbed the rod piercing Lu Ce's chest, lifting him up!

"Don't talk about no rationality."

"When I ask questions, even if he's dead, I still have the ability to make him speak!"

Holding the rod with one hand as if skewering meat, the two faced each other.

Crack... crack...

Feeling the terrifying divine pressure suppression before him, Gluttony showed no reaction, still maintaining the same mouth-opening-and-closing form as before.

This disregard, compared to provocation, was even more likely to stir [War]'s anger.

VOOM!!

A strange loud noise erupted as the entire room produced a sound like a nuclear explosion, nebula dispersing, and the room began violently shaking.

That power made everyone feel oppressed as if seeing the clear sky, with no one able to stand steadily.

Everyone fell to the ground in unison, but didn't hit the floor—instead, they floated in the air.

Because the room no longer existed.

The room was gone, hell was gone, everything was gone—everyone seemed to be in nothingness and chaos.

"Don't get in the way!"

[War]'s voice roared angrily, as if resisting something, letting out a soul-shaking roar!

After this roar, everyone went deaf!

They could hear nothing, unable to perceive anything from the outside world.

—We're done!

These were the first two words that appeared in Xie Antong's mind.

This was really bad—Lu Ce had actually... truly angered a true god!

[Game has ended!]

[Hell Mode, "Hell," remaining players all cleared.]

[Special circumstances, all players entering settlement page!]

The game's prompt appeared in the minds of all players except Lu Ce. The next second, everyone vanished on the spot.

Including those players still in other rooms who didn't understand what was happening.

All were forcibly logged out of the game, entering the preparation interface!

Except for one person...

Lu Ce was still held by [War] through that rod, standing in the void.

[War] raised His hand, aiming at Lu Ce's face.

"I said..."

"Don't get in the way!"

Another roar erupted as distorted energy continuously surged around Lu Ce, that energy seeming to contain countless stars being created and then destroyed within.

"I won't kill him!"

[War] continued speaking, then forcefully pulled through the void.

Instantly, the fragments of the Gluttony mask embedded in his face were violently pulled out!

Tiny red fragments floated quietly in the air like gemstones—the third-stage Gluttony mask had been forcibly ripped off.

Revealing his original appearance.

His body began automatically repairing, transforming back to his original "Lu Ce" appearance.

This was the first time he had revealed his true form in the game, before a "god."

Then, in his dazed state, Lu Ce's eyelids trembled as he slowly opened his eyes.

[War]'s current actions actually almost amounted to help, allowing Lu Ce to regain his sanity and break free from the completely out-of-control Gluttony.

He only felt his body was very light, as if he had been dreaming.

"Awake?"

[War] snorted coldly as He spoke.

Lu Ce didn't know what had just happened, seeming to have no memory for a moment, squinting as he looked at the [War] before him.

"Who are you?"

[War]: ?

He had awakened Lu Ce and forcibly ripped off his mask precisely to ask him this question.

If you're asking, then what should I ask?

[War]: ...

After a moment of silence, as if He had no contingency plan for this situation in mind, He then spoke.

"You took something you shouldn't have, and you ask who I am?"

Only then did Lu Ce feel dizzy, as memories from the third-stage Gluttony began flooding violently into his mind.

"Hisss... oh, so that's how it is..."

Seeing that the guy before him seemed to finally understand everything, War stared at him, waiting for his response.

"Heh, pretty good."

"What's wrong?"

[War]: ?

What do you mean "what's wrong"!?

"You guys... do you think just because we're still in the agreement period right now, I can't do anything to you ants?"

Lu Ce didn't know what the agreement period was, but he silently remembered it.

Looking up at the surrounding void, he said with a very shameless attitude:

"Yeah, isn't that the case?"

[War]: ...

Tch... it seems that really is the case!

For a moment, the silent void seemed to become even more silent as [War] looked at this guy who seemed even more annoying after removing his mask.

Remaining silent for a long, long time.
