Chapter 541: A Moment of Sainthood and Demonic Power: Arrogance Returns!
No one knows exactly how many people received this message, but in some interfaces, a "waiting for match" display was spinning continuously.
For the special circumstances of Lu Ce alone, the game actually initiated global matching. Combined with the Divine Messenger's self-selection option, mountain-like pressure was now gathering on Lu Ce's shoulders.
That obvious targeting—if it were anyone else in this world, they would have to reconsider multiple times, their hearts pounding with fear.
Only "Sin"!
Only the world's number one Pride would dare to proceed without hesitation at such a moment.
In the room, Lu Ce had already taken out his mask. Without even entering the game yet, he placed it on his face.
The Seven Deadly Sins Heart continuously transformed on his face, gradually beginning to... shift toward gold!
......
【: Holy shit! Why was I selected? Scared me to death! I immediately refused—this is just asking for death.】
【: Me too, my brain short-circuited for a moment. This is my first time on the Peak Rankings, I don't want to die yet!】【: Who in their right mind would want to be in the same game as "Sin"? That's just asking for trouble!】
【: Not necessarily, after all this time they mentioned strategy self-selection...】
The scrolling public bulletin board still had many people discussing this matter, talking about how they quickly rejected the invitations.
Regarding "Sin," the general public now had the attitude of Lord Ye's love of dragons—fine to watch from afar, but if actually playing together, few had that kind of courage.
Of course, there were also some players who made mistakes...
【: Damn it, I accidentally clicked agree just now. I kind of want to die now. Is it too late to jump off a building?】
In any era, under any circumstances, there will always be such people that make you marvel at the diversity of lifeforms.
Suddenly, a golden message appeared on the public screen.
【No.4, Sun: I have agreed! Just letting you know, prepare yourself!】
Sun wasn't hiding either. Having this opportunity to be in the same game as "Sin," he naturally wouldn't let it pass.
Especially this kind of obviously special circumstance, a unique global opportunity—of course he still wanted to join the excitement.
Xie Antong, in her own room, looked at the screen before her, at that invitation letter.
Well, now there was no need for any coincidences or fate connections—she could choose whether she wanted to join or not.
Although she definitely wanted to join, looking at the brief four lines of text before her, she still felt this was very bad.
"Really... troublesome."
In the game, if either Lu Ce or that Divine Messenger died, the game would end.
Moreover, the final survivors could all be considered perfect clearances! And they could choose their own strategies?
Although the specific rules weren't explicitly stated, she instinctively could see the malice in these rules.
Wasn't this equivalent to making participating players choose sides and switch teams?
Given Lu Ce's current popularity, probably no one would specifically choose to help him.
Or perhaps, this game's Divine Messenger was confident that people would stand on His side!
"Tch, I hope you can... choose a stronger mask."
Xie Antong muttered to herself, selected the agree option on the screen before her, and entered the waiting state.
I said it before, I don't think I have a choice either.
I'll walk this path with you.
In various corners of the world, most people who received invitation letters instantly refused, unwilling to wade into these troubled waters.
But there were also some people who, after hesitation and consideration, chose the agree option.
【Game matching successful!】
Finally, this message appeared, and that Lu Ce page that had appeared before players worldwide also disappeared at this moment.
【Please all players, make final game preparations.】
【The game is about to begin.】
The mask on Lu Ce's face was already prepared, his golden mask showing no ripple of emotion.
【Welcome to CHOSEN'S PARADISE!, Hell Mode (Human vs God Mode)—A Thought of Saint and Demon!】
【Game start!】
The familiar game voice sounded in Lu Ce's ears, followed by the familiar sensation of dizziness.
Having experienced it too many times, Lu Ce didn't even feel particularly dizzy now.
He simply waited calmly.
His entire body felt like it was traversing time and space, his soul experiencing vast changes, until he finally stood on solid ground again.
When he opened his eyes again, what met them was a golden halo of light. After reacting for a moment, he found himself within a light pillar about one meter in diameter.
The light pillar was semi-transparent—he could see the situation outside, but couldn't make out details clearly.
Opposite him, another light pillar shot up into the sky, standing in distant opposition to his own, but the figure inside was unclear.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sounds of light bursting forth continuously rang out as pillar after pillar rose from the ground.
On both sides, players kept entering, each figure enveloped within a light pillar.
The line connecting the first two light pillars formed the diameter of a circle, and those light pillars formed a large circle along this diameter.
After a quick scan, including himself, there were sixteen pillars total.
Each pillar contained a human figure, clearly the players participating in this game.
Everyone remained silent, unable to see each other, probably all counting the pillars.
Xie Antong happened to be among them. Seeing sixteen pillars total, her first thought was: Impossible!
How could so many people want to be in the same game as Lu Ce...
Meanwhile, Lu Ce, after roughly scanning once, paid no further attention.
He quickly handled the mask selection question within the game interface.
This time, he didn't plan to let the game randomly assign him one—he would choose himself.
—Just Pride!
Nothing more to say. Since he had already chosen not to retreat, he wouldn't retreat to the very end!
Pride was the best answer he could think of to give this game, to these gods.
【Welcome, all players.】
【This is the game arena for A Thought of Saint and Demon.】
From the pillar directly opposite Lu Ce came a female voice. Hearing it felt like a cold breeze brushing against one's face.
【Oh, right, since we've reached this point, the two of us should show our faces.】
As the words fell, the light pillars for Him and Lu Ce instantly dissipated.
He was a tall, slender female with heavy smokey eye makeup, wearing a pitch-black long dress. Her exceptionally three-dimensional facial features carried a scornful expression.
And opposite Him stood a figure holding a giant axe, his face resembling a statue, his golden countenance shining brilliantly.
—Pride Returns to the Stage!
