Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 596: The Globally Announced Results! World Relics

Listening to the words of the two people before him, Jiang Yuan, holding the Exit Coin in his hand, looked up somewhat dazedly.

His appearance looked like a youth around the same age as Lu Ce, but his eyes clearly held a deep sense of vicissitude.

In terms of age, his actual age was already unverifiable.

And now, his eyes held an additional layer of many emotions.

During the brief few hours before, it had been like a dream. Among these people, some had been his friends, some his enemies.

And now, after everything was over, those distinctions between friend and foe had completely vanished. These visitors from another world before him all seemed to be looking at him at this moment.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan's voice now became somewhat hoarse. "I failed to save my world. I don't want to be a deserter."

Everyone fell into a somewhat silent mood. Perhaps touched by the scene, they felt a sense of shared sorrow, like mourning the death of a fellow creature, towards this world destroyed by the game before them.

They could understand how utterly despairing Jiang Yuan's mood must be right now.

"Saving the world is perhaps indeed too late now." Xie Antong's voice also rang out at this moment, carrying a touch of emotionless coldness. "But you still have a chance for revenge.""What you have experienced, what you have forgotten, might one day become a weapon to strike back at Them."

"Of course, the decision is yours to make."

Xie Antong had originally wanted to understand in detail how this world was destroyed back then, but considering that would be too inhumane, she didn't say anything more.

The overturned cart ahead is a warning for the ones behind;

a survivor like Jiang Yuan who lived through the destruction of his world would surely have a crucial role to play.

However, she didn't try to brainwash him excessively. Even rationally, she truly believed the choice should depend on Jiang Yuan's own heart.

And at this moment, Jiang Yuan's hand was also tightly clutching that cold, hard coin, trembling slightly.

No one knew what kind of fierce struggle was raging within his seemingly hollow eyes at this moment.

With a single thought's difference, do you perish together with the world you once deeply loved, or do you shoulder all the unknown memories and pain, to seek a new opportunity?

The collapse and reversal of the world was right before his eyes. In his ears, he could still seem to hear the despairing cries of this world's people.

He let out a long sigh, as if having made some kind of decision, and looked up at Pride.

"Can I...... Huh?"

Instinctively, he thought of the existence that had given him that last sliver of hope, as if finding his lifeline.

But when he looked up, he realized the Pride before him had already vanished.

Lu Ce had given the Exit Coin quite simply, without any sentimentality or intention to win people over.

He just felt that since he had these things in bulk-like quantities and never ran out, if it might be useful, it was better to just give it out and see.

Then, he had already exited the game.

Dying... urgently needed a Perfect Clearance body repair from the game.

This left Jiang Yuan somewhat stunned.

"Don't look for him;

he should have already left." Perfect Life said to him. "Some choices may seem very difficult, but no matter what, as long as you don't give up, there is still hope."

After offering this final encouragement, Perfect Life also vanished on the spot.

"Have some backbone, that's enough already." Sun's figure also began to exit. "If you decide to come out but don't know what to do, go to any densely populated place and shout one sentence."

"'The world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society!' Someone will naturally come find you then."

Sun vanished. Wordcaster-Bai, along with the remaining few people, also exited one after another.

Xie Antong finally said "Welcome to Divine Punishment" before she and Chiyo Eine also disappeared in turn.

The world collapsed amidst utter silence. In the end, only Jiang Yuan remained, sitting there, clutching the Exit Coin in his hand.

When facing truly significant choices, a person ultimately still has to listen to the voice within their own heart.

Taking one last look at this utterly unrecognizable world, Jiang Yuan wearily closed his eyes.

A few seconds later, when his eyes snapped open again, they shone with a brilliant azure divine light, dazzling like stars!

It was as if he had returned to his most prosperous era, to the appearance of his youth.

A flash of light enveloped his entire body, and he vanished from the spot.

—Jiang Yuan had decided to set out once more!

......

In the silent void, Lu Ce slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar surroundings.

Having burned his life force and essence blood, he was now being slowly nourished by the game's Perfect Clearance effect.

He touched his face. The Pride persona had now reverted back into a mask.

Raising his hand, he took off the mask and let out a long breath.

It was over... this game's targeted killing scheme against him...

[Game Over, Perfect Clearance!]

[Your results from this special mode will be announced globally at a later time!]

[Now proceeding with game reward settlement...]

Hearing this voice, Lu Ce smiled. Announced globally...

He actually understood that winning the game's scheme against him so directly was absolutely way too disrespectful to the God side.

This would definitely spur another reform of the game, just like the Game 2.0 phase back then, to better restrict him.

But, whatever. Since [Death] wanted a draw, it definitely wasn't for his own good. The upcoming changes would probably include some things They themselves wouldn't want to see either.

[Number of participants this session: 6,125,487]

[Number of finishers: 985,632]

[Number of Perfect Clearances: 872!]

[Your clearance evaluation: SSS Rank, Perfect Clearance! Current consecutive Perfect Clearance sessions: 12!]

[Due to outstanding performance...]

Every Perfect Clearance came with a significant amount of point rewards, Dimensional Backpack slots, and Exit Coins.

He had won too many. These things ordinary people desperately wanted, Lu Ce no longer paid attention to.

The most important thing was the special rewards.

First, the mask's overload levels had now reached five!

Pride, Gluttony, Jealousy, Greed, and Wrath had all entered overload mode.

The remaining Lust and Sloth... well, that's probably a common issue for each of them.

And his battle axe had officially become a Divine Weapon. Himself in the Pride state was likely his strongest state in terms of single-target combat power.

Finally...

[Death Order*1, Death Affinity Force Core*2, World Relic!]

With a thought, Lu Ce took out the World Relic from the game's reward page.
