Chapter 594: The Lone Survivor, War Has Already Said This
The axe fell, shattering the skull.
Pride had ultimately made the most arrogant choice.
His words had contained little of substance, and then he simply acted.
Even the Death Messenger herself hadn't reacted in time. In her understanding, with [Death] personally present, there should at least have been some negotiation.
Who could have imagined this Pride was so capricious, striking so suddenly.
So much so that in the final second before being slain, she didn't even have time to use her last remaining power to counterattack or resist.
It truly was like an execution, just like that!
Within this heaven and earth, everyone fell silent, too shocked to utter a word.
Since they had already decided to negotiate with [Death], why resort to such a lethal move at the slightest disagreement?
Xie Antong's mouth hung half-open, her eyes blinking, having never even considered this possibility.Earlier, countless questions had raced through her mind, thinking about the information they might potentially obtain from [Death].
This was a god at full strength, fully conscious. With such an opportunity, naturally they should extract as much information as possible, the kind not usually available.
Moreover, Lu Ce himself held the initiative;
it was [Death] who had emerged, deciding to save someone, making him even easier to manipulate.
In her eyes, [Death] was like a mountain of gold, waiting to be mined. She had even prepared herself to speak, to attempt a dialogue with this god.
And just like that... killed?
Perfect Life's thoughts at this moment were quite similar to hers. He stared at "Sin" in shock, already starting to feel like cursing inside.
Such a perfect opportunity, wasted by you just like that?
But very quickly, he had to admit that this axe strike had truly struck a chord within him, involuntarily stirring a feeling of wanting to cheer.
He finally understood why, even though "Sin" seemed utterly disagreeable in his eyes, he still always chose to stand on his side.
This character, unwilling to yield even a single hair on major issues, was simply too much to his taste!
It was as if it was compensating for something missing in his own heart.
In this world, clever people are as numerous as grass seeds on the ground. Too many people think about maximizing benefits, while too few adhere strictly to their own principles.
His own genes were encoded with countless "clever people," but now he understood that no matter how many clever people existed in this world, only this "Sin" at this moment could gain the recognition of that axe.
Nothing must go against my will!
"That's right too," he exhaled a long, turbid breath, muttering softly to himself.
"Whatever benefits a god can give you are naturally things they themselves don't care about."
"No matter how insignificant, what a god wants to take from you is what they truly desire."
Perfect Life's voice echoed in the air, also truly showing little regard for [Death]'s face, as if seeking an explanation for "Sin"'s actions.
No one spoke. Everyone remained silent.
Jiang Yuan stood on the ground, his figure somewhat desolate. Seeing the aura similar to what destroyed his own world appear and engage in "peace talks" with Pride, his heart felt as dead as ashes.
But now, witnessing Pride strike directly to kill the Divine Messenger, amidst the shock in his heart, a surge of gratitude also welled up.
His body felt somewhat weak. Clenching his teeth, he wanted to kneel towards Lu Ce's direction.
And right at that moment, a powerful, large hand gripped the back of his neck from behind. It carried a blazing heat, lifting him up.
At some unknown time, Sun, that very conspicuous fellow, had actually descended directly to the ground, arriving behind Jiang Yuan.
"Are your knees that weak? He's not worth you kneeling!"
Sun's brash voice rang out, adding another sentence:
"No one is worth it. Actually, that's what he means too."
The hand burning with flames now supported Jiang Yuan's body. That slightly warm feeling gave Jiang Yuan, who currently felt like a hollow man, some support.
Jiang Yuan turned his head back somewhat bewildered, discovering it was actually this top-tier expert he had fought the most times throughout the entire game.
Weren't they normally enemies?
"Tha... thank you?"
Sun ignored him. His eyes burning with firelight swept around this world.
"Actually, this place was finished long ago. I knew it the moment I entered the game."
"Since you are the only remaining survivor... you should at least find a decent way to die for yourself."
"Oh, by the way, want to join the Heaven and Earth Society?"
In the end, Sun still came out with this line.
"Heaven and Earth Society? Is that... the Saint Lord's organization?" Jiang Yuan asked blankly.
"Ugh, just get far away from me!" Sun waved his hand and turned to leave.
He didn't know why he said these few words to this Jiang Yuan. Perhaps his exceptionally high Spirit made him realize just how lonely a survivor of an entire world could be.
And during the prolonged shock, the long time people hadn't recovered their wits, dozens of seconds had already passed since Lu Ce's axe fell.
[Death] had remained silent all along. His silence made the entire world feel oppressive, as if submerged in the deep sea.
Yet Pride also showed no intention of breaking this silence. Propping up the battle axe in his hand with one arm, he silently looked up at the sky.
Silence is the privilege of those in the superior position.
Finally, [Death] spoke again. His voice regained its silence and calmness, as if the Divine Messenger who died earlier was completely inconsequential.
That Divine Messenger herself was indeed inconsequential!
But now, one thing had become an established fact—in the game's campaign launched against "Sin," it was the player "Sin" who had won!
[Do you know what you have done?]
"Do you know who you are speaking to?"
Pride replied.
[Death]: ......
Such an utterly preposterous, upside-down statement. He didn't even want to answer, not even wanting to sneer.
He only knew that this round of the game was progressing at an unexpectedly rapid pace, and subversion was about to arrive!
[Fine. I hope you can maintain this all the way.]
[We will meet again.]
Hearing this, Pride actually laughed directly, replying.
"War has already said these words to me."
"Why don't you two first decide a victor between yourselves, then come meet me again?"
His words received no answer. [Death] no longer wished to linger here and left this world.
Afterwards...
The world began... to collapse!
