Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 559: Frenzied Chain Reaction! The Confused Camp of the 【Saints】

Death Messenger: ......

The first Hell Envoy was already dead, she hadn't been able to inflict any real substantial damage on "Sin," and now some Jiang Yuan had appeared out of nowhere.

This first formal confrontation could already be considered her falling into a disadvantageous position.

However, she didn't really mind - her true abilities were far from being fully utilized, and many of her subsequent plans were still being prepared.

This little interruption currently didn't amount to much.

But at this moment, she truly didn't intend to fight "Sin" to the death here.

There was no point - her goal wasn't just to kill "Sin" alone, and taking action now would be too troublesome and didn't align with her interests.

But just as she was about to leave, she was relentlessly mocked by Sun and "Sin" in turn, making it hard for her to maintain her composure.

Logically, she should have been the one to throw out a mocking parting shot before leaving.

At this moment, Pride didn't pursue to attack, only shaking his head in deep disappointment."Your fear, incompetence, and escape - I can indeed understand all of them."

"It's just... too disappointing. Before this game began, I thought there would be an interesting duel."

"But you don't even have the ability to make me use my full strength, let alone bring any pressure upon me."

Death Messenger sneered contemptuously, looking at "Sin" who was spouting arrogant words, and retorted sarcastically:

"Oh really? Then whose blood was it that just soaked through that golden shell of yours?"

"Could it be that you were holding back? Saint Lord?"

Her intention was to mock, but one could only say she had a short memory.

Lu Ce carried no psychological baggage whatsoever, immediately speaking without shame:

"Yes, I was holding back."

"Do you have some trump card you haven't used yet? Do you need me to cooperate with you?"

This final remark was particularly cutting, completely shattering Death Messenger's mental state.

Moreover, although Death Messenger was mocking, in reality, all players present - whether Xie Antong or Sun - knew that "Sin" wasn't entirely wrong.

—He hadn't used his full strength yet!

Everyone knew that when this mask fused with "Sin's" face, that was when he became most insane and most powerful.

Her chest heaving violently, Death Messenger coldly laughed and said:

"We'll see! I'm waiting for the moment when your expression changes!"

Then, with one step, she directly entered the rift she had torn open beside her. With this ability, she was sufficiently safe.

However, at this final moment, Lu Ce suddenly made his move!

It wasn't the Extreme Path Battle Axe, nor any special attack, but rather a gray, inconspicuous object.

Since the thing appeared to have no killing power, Death Messenger only instinctively waved to block it, producing a clear clanging sound.

Then, that thing followed the energy flow, wobbled for a moment, and stubbornly clamped onto the other's wrist!

S-135, Frenzied Chain!

This S-grade sequence item, the prize obtained through extreme overload at the amusement park, suddenly found its use at this moment.

Click.

At the same time, Lu Ce fastened the other bracelet onto his own arm.

Then, unilaterally activated the connection!

[Frenzied Chain, connection successful!]

The moment this message popped up, Death Messenger's figure disappeared from between heaven and earth.

Lu Ce fiddled with his bracelet, and three slot machine-like patterns instantly appeared above his head, though they were all gray at the moment.

[Due to spatial-temporal isolation and divine power blockage, Frenzied Chain is temporarily difficult to activate.]

Lu Ce slightly furrowed his brow, expressing regret.

Originally, with Pride's personality, such petty tricks would have been impossible.

But the current Pride was far from reaching overload levels, and Lu Ce's own thinking could still produce many actions that aligned with worldly interests.

"Seriously, this game is so boring! It was supposed to be them fighting, so why does he keep wanting to run away?"

Watching Death Messenger actually leave, Sun complained in utter bewilderment. With his personality, he would never make such a choice.

"It seems she has many plans too, and hasn't revealed everything to us," Xie Antong said with a smile.

As if casually, she added another sentence:

"Perhaps her power also grows stronger the more she fights?"

The area suddenly became spacious again, with only four people remaining in this stadium that had melted into ruins.

Sun looked around, swung the hammer in his hand, and said:

"Now, it's two versus two?"

"Sorry, you're not counting me in, are you?" Xie Antong waved her hand, casually taking out a Traveler Talisman.

"I have other matters. If you want to fight, then it's one versus two."

After saying this, she directly disappeared and ran off.

Sun: ......

"Saint Lord." After holding back for a long time, Jiang Yuan finally couldn't resist and proactively reminded.

"It seems... many strange things have appeared in the city."

After being reminded, Lu Ce was momentarily stunned, then looked at the overhead map on his game interface.

On the overhead views of the eight cities, dense clusters of small red dots had begun to appear.

Demons had already begun to be deployed and were starting to infect the city residents around them.

The city destruction progress had already reached 1.6%!

"Hmm?"

"Then go, your presence isn't needed here for now."

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan acknowledged and quickly transformed into a stream of light and departed. After all, this was his own world, so he still had a heart for salvation.

......

Meanwhile, those new Saints who had been recruited under Lu Ce, the Saint Lord, began rapidly moving between cities.

With their powerful strength, they swiftly exterminated the demons deployed throughout the cities.

Since city residents could be assimilated into the Demon faction, most of the new Saints flew through the air, organizing order throughout the cities.

Of course, each also operated under the name of the Saint Lord.

"Demons have descended, and the Saint Lord has appeared! We uphold the Saint Lord's decree to save this world!"

"We are Saints! Follow our guidance, don't panic!"

Over a dozen people flew through whichever city, simultaneously exterminating the summoned minor demons while evacuating crowds and protecting the cities from destruction.

At the same time, they also had to search for the corresponding Demon Beacons.

For a time, intense offensive and defensive battles erupted throughout the cities. The masses, grasping at this lifeline, cooperated well, and under the protection of the new Saints, casualties were minimized as much as possible.

It was truly a scenario of saving the world.

However, the genuine [Saint] faction players hidden among the crowds, waiting for opportunities and with their own secret agendas, were currently somewhat dumbfounded and confused.

These are... Saints?

Their enthusiasm for playing the game is way too high, so professional.

And what exactly does "the Saint Lord's guidance" mean?

Why does it feel like I'm playing a different game...
