Chapter 636: Emotional Tug-of-War, The Trigger for Lust's Overload!
The Rule Meat Grinder badge, being of Legendary grade, was still remarkably effective. This kind of forced restraint by rules, unrelated to strength, was quickly undone.
His figure floated upwards, and he patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, speaking in a mocking tone.
But right after patting him, he began to feel something was off. He shook his hand, looking as if he had been dirtied.
However, listening to the voice by his ear, Jiang Yuan only felt as if a breeze had blown past, lacking the capacity for detailed thought.
Excessive extreme pressure had already caused his spirit to instinctively begin self-protection, doing its best to turn the sounds at his ear into mere background noise.
He just stared blankly ahead, watching that person who was gradually floating up, the one who had been eliminated for shooting him.
He saw that Apostle flailing about inside a pink bubble, like someone whose tail had been stepped on, staring at Jiang Yuan and saying who-knows-what.
He looked utterly distraught.
"He seems to be praising you. Should we go discuss it with him?"
Lust had absolutely no intention of taking action, as if he had completely forgotten he possessed the world's strongest power, and just kept talking incessantly by Jiang Yuan's ear.Mental pollution was maxed out.
Down in the city and streets below, the people's level of distress was not low either.
A consensus had gradually formed to first figure out a way to deal with this ostentatious strongest player—this was actually unavoidable, to some degree, they were all forced by "Sin"!
You, Jiang Yuan, as the world's fifth, wouldn't you naturally want to compete with the first?
You're both top players, and clearly in this environment that doesn't rely on martial power, you just directly took action earlier, giving many people confidence.
But now you suddenly changed your tune again, and who knows what the two in the sky said...
The Apostles immediately began to feel somewhat troubled, even starting to feel a bit cowardly.
Even Xie Antong, who had known in advance that Jiang Yuan, this pawn, was highly uncontrollable, was now frowning slightly.
In her judgment, that Ability Card that forcibly prohibited movement just now should have been considered one of the top-tier abilities.
To waste it just like that... Tsk, Lust really has a silver tongue. He didn't even actively use any ability, yet he's already pushed Jiang Yuan to this point.
And this was with her having calculated that Lust was sufficiently narcissistic, plus understanding Lu Ce, knowing he definitely wouldn't actively reveal now that he was the "Master".
Otherwise, the difficulty of The Game would have risen another level.
No good, she needed to quickly find out Lu Ce's identity now!
...
At this moment, Jiang Yuan struggled to turn his head away, not looking at the Apostle he had eliminated.
"Feeling like you might have done wrong again? How come you have no resolve at all."
"How could I possibly know." Jiang Yuan glared over fiercely, but in Lust's eyes, it looked a bit like a husky baring its teeth.
"Only someone like you, who does as they please without caring about right or wrong, can disregard everything like that."
"Otherwise, how would you know what's right and what's wrong."
Lust, however, seemed to suddenly gain patience and said softly:
"Heh, naive fellow. How about I tell you a secret hidden in this world."
"In fact, no matter which direction you choose, as long as you can keep walking down that path, it is right."
Jiang Yuan's brow suddenly twitched. He looked up at Lust with some disbelief. He never, ever expected those words to come out of the mouth of this pervert in front of him.
Although the form was different... it somehow gave him a feeling very similar to the Master's way of speaking.
But the moment he looked up, he saw another side of Lust's face.
"Hahahaha! Of course, I'm talking about myself. It has nothing to do with a naive guy like you."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He felt his emotions being pulled back and forth repeatedly, giving him a feeling of training his nerves' resistance.
And after a brief silence, the city below began to rebound once more. Beams of laser light began shooting towards "Sin".
Just moments ago, the command Xie Antong gave to the [Apostles] was very simple—act quickly!
As long as she had a way to precisely confirm Lu Ce's identity, she had a chance to deal with him.
So she needed these people to test and make mistakes rapidly!
Moreover, she remotely controlled the Apostles, having them shout loudly while firing their beams:
"Everyone, seize the chance, concentrate fire!"
"The Game is already at version 3.0, he is this world's calamity!"
"He's blocking all paths forward! Everyone, hurry up and focus fire, this is the best chance to defeat him!"
The Apostles themselves found it strange. Although many people thought this way, there seemed to be no need to shout it out.
But since Blank said so, they'd just follow orders.
Listening to the incredibly unified shouts from all over the city, Xie Antong's eyes dimmed slightly for an instant.
She actually didn't want to hear such words. She had never liked the world having this kind of misunderstanding and judgment about him.
But now, for the sake of victory and the immediate goal, it had to be this way.
These words were actually mainly said for Jiang Yuan to hear.
Phrases like "the world's calamity" or "destroying the world" tended to hit a nerve with Jiang Yuan.
However, after the previous conversation and experience, although Jiang Yuan frowned, he wasn't immediately used as a tool.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He instinctively tilted his head, dodging a laser beam that shot past his face.
Focusing his gaze, he was shocked to discover it had been fired by the "Sin" in front of him!
Lifting his head, the two made eye contact, only to see an expression of surprise on that purple mask. Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
"Huh!?"
Lu Ce looked at his own right hand and spoke in outrage. While he was distracted just now, he had suddenly fired a laser beam!
"Hahahaha! So that's how you want to play, huh? You actually dare to play this kind of trick on me!"
He could realize that was actually the power of Lust, affecting him!
He never, ever expected that Lust, someone whose abilities were mostly focused on emotional control, would have his own emotions controlled by something else!
His entire body was instantly enveloped in a pink glow. At the same time, Xie Antong controlled the All-Seeing Eye and shouted at Jiang Yuan:
"What are you doing? Take action!"
"But, he..."
"No buts! He is your Master's enemy!"
Xie Antong gave no time for consideration. At this critical moment, she didn't care if the lie could be maintained, she just aimed straight for the other's pain point first.
And at this moment, Lu Ce was gripping his own right hand. His elegant demeanor faded, replaced by something somewhat ferocious and excited.
It had always been him casually tugging at others' emotions. But now, he needed to restrain the turbulent emotions surging within himself!
However, at this critical point of unexpected emotional surge and self-restraint...
He seemed to have found the trigger for Lust's overload!
Lust...
"Hehehehaha..."
"Very good, you've done very well!"
