Chapter 533: A Deal with [War], Perfect Clear!
A deathly silence continued in the space. Silence within such chaotic nothingness always seemed even more silent.
War's body, from which no face could be discerned, seemed frozen solid, unmoving for a long time.
Finally, he himself broke the silence.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
War's voice returned to calm, but it sounded like he had reached the peak of fury.
Lu Ce looked at the long staff in front of his chest, feeling the waves of energy transmitted from it. Yet just as they were about to touch him, they dissipated into nothingness.
He reached out and grasped the staff before his chest, feeling its warm touch and surging energy.
If this thing could be considered a weapon, what level would it be?
After briefly losing focus, he looked up again, smiling as he gazed at War before him."It seems this game is stronger than you. You also have to obey its rules."
After regaining his intelligence, Lu Ce decided to probe a bit with his words.
But who would have thought that after hearing this, War showed no trace of anger. Instead, he just snorted coldly and said:
"Game? Do you know what a game is?"
"Its rules are originally my rules!"
Lu Ce: "..."
His ears echoed with War's words, feeling somewhat confused and not understanding what the other meant.
What did he mean by its rules are also your rules?
However, War was after all a True God, and he no longer wanted to waste words with this guy before him!
With a lift of his hand, he pulled Lu Ce before him and forcefully slapped his palm against Lu Ce's chest.
This attack that seemed capable of destroying everything transmitted no sensation whatsoever. Lu Ce felt like he had really just been patted.
Yet he could clearly see a thin golden thread had been directly struck into his body.
What did this mean? A curse?
"You have caught my attention."
War's tone of speech gradually rose, actually sounding increasingly impassioned.
He had finally awakened to the emotion his name inherently possessed—battle intent!
"That thing just now was my marker signal."
"Right now, you cannot be casually killed by me. However... once your strength surpasses that line."
"I will come find you!"
Feeling War's extremely formal declaration before him, like a challenge issued, Lu Ce's expression gradually turned somewhat unpleasant.
This War, possessing such a high life hierarchy compared to himself, like the bright moon to a firefly's glow, still spoke such formal words?
Would you tell an ant on the street, "Once you become stronger in the future, I will come kill you"?
This was the first "god" Lu Ce had encountered who, with little communication, expressed such high-level respect toward him.
Only, this kind of respect was also somewhat lethal...
"You mean, because my current strength hasn't reached that level yet, the game has restrictions preventing you from directly killing me now."
"So once my strength reaches a certain line, you plan to do exactly that, is that right?"
Hearing Lu Ce's question, War did not ignore it this time, but formally replied:
"Yes, you can understand it that way."
Lu Ce: "..."
He gradually felt somewhat speechless. For no good reason, he had been issued a martial world kill order.
This God of War was really serious enough... Was he perhaps relatively idle among the "gods"?
An immense pressure instantly enveloped Lu Ce, a pressure that felt like his life had entered some kind of countdown.
But then, he laughed recklessly and said with complete indifference:
"Is that so? Then you really think highly of me."
"I've offended plenty of various people or gods, so you might not even get your turn to kill me."
"Maybe I'll already be dead before reaching that point."
War did not speak, only silently shaking his head.
"No."
"I believe you will live until the day I see you again."
"You hold more value than Judgment and those others. Killing you would perhaps be more meaningful."
"When that day comes, no matter what relationship you have with Agony, your life is reserved by me!"
As he spoke, War before him lifted his other hand and gently clenched it in the void. A mass of red light appeared out of thin air.
That energy looked somewhat familiar to Lu Ce.
Powerful gravity nurturing thunder power within!
"This is the power and authority of that Judgment from before."
War said, raising his hand and slapping it to the side. The space beside them was directly torn open into a rift, and the red energy mass was thrown inside, disappearing to who knows where.
Thrown away?!
"Actually, if you didn't want it, I wouldn't mind taking it," Lu Ce said expressionlessly.
He still felt some of Gluttony's sensations. Although the irrational hunger had disappeared, he could still recognize that the light mass should be quite delicious.
War, however, shook his head, completely unconcerned.
"Just a failed product, and now it's incomplete too."
"I cast it into the void. If fate aligns, it might find someone destined, someone worthy."
"That person will bring you some trouble."
As War spoke, he actually laughed.
"Haha!"
"I hope you don't die by then. That would disappoint me greatly."
"Goodbye."
Saying this, he lightly tapped the staff on Lu Ce's chest. Lu Ce immediately felt the scenery on both sides rapidly receding, as if traversing through time and space in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding scenery shifted, soon bringing a wave of dizziness, and his vision went black.
...
[Game Over.]
[Congratulations, Player. Perfect Clear!]
[Spend 20,000 points to repair damaged and contaminated weapons?]
"Yes."
Lu Ce's eyes felt heavy as if filled with lead, too sleepy to open at all. Hearing the voice in his ears, he could only subconsciously say yes.
Because he could freeload the perfect clear body repair, he pushed his body to the absolute limit every time, really making things difficult for this game.
[Detected suitable weapon. Bind as Gluttony's Exclusive Weapon?]
"Huh?"
Lu Ce finally heard this prompt.
