Chapter 658: They seemed a little quiet just now...
After the Arbitrator's words fell, the space instantly became somewhat chaotic with energy. The swirling light particles within were top-tier destructive weapons even in a stable universe.
"Ah... calm down, calm down."
The Arbitrator smiled helplessly, raising his hand and pressing down into the void.
"This space wasn't opened very stably. I'll operate it more later. From now on, when we want to hold meetings, we'll do it here."
"But for now, everyone should pay more attention to controlling your emotions. Don't get too chaotic."
Following his voice and this pressing-down gesture with both hands, the entire space instantly regained stability and quiet.
Then, one beam of light after another lit up, finally making this space begin to feel somewhat lively.
"Since that's the case, I'll come listen too."
"Arbitrator, mind your identity. Just now, were you suppressing our power?"
"Let's not talk about that for now. Where is [Lust]? Just now, you seemed to be doing something strange.""......"
No specific gods arrived, just beams of light, each voicing their own opinions.
If Lu Ce were here, he'd probably recognize that many of these voices sounded familiar.
And judging by those voices, it was clear these people hadn't been paying little attention to "Sin's" game situation either.
"Hmph!"
War snorted coldly again, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied that so many people were interested in "Sin," but he didn't say anything more.
"Hehe, everyone, don't be unhappy. I'm just everyone's waiter."
"Then let me repeat the topic we were just discussing. Is [Lust] here? Do you need to respond?"
The Arbitrator continued.
The space fell into silence, with no response. Suddenly, a somewhat ethereal voice spoke up:
"Why are you calling me? I've already transformed into countless fragments. I'm no longer truly existent."
"You speak, I cannot hear."
The gods: ......
Wasn't it obvious you heard, and even responded?
"Hehe, regardless, since you've already responded, perhaps it would be better to give an explanation."
As his voice fell, another somewhat cold voice sounded nearby, sounding a bit like [Death].
"Choosing spokespersons is just to adapt to the adjustments made to our game rules this time."
"Additionally, also selecting some people we can conveniently cultivate along the way, to deal with 'Sin.'"
"You directly chose him as your candidate. What do you mean by that? Give an explanation."
[Lust]'s voice snorted coldly, responding without the slightest courtesy:
"Explanation? To whom should I give an explanation? Who needs an explanation from me!"
"I said, I've transformed into countless fragments. Anyone could be chosen by me. In my eyes, there's no difference."
"And besides, when you decided to directly kill 'me' just now, why didn't you give me an explanation!"
After speaking, the space fell silent once more, terrifyingly quiet.
"Hehe." The Arbitrator narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright. Also, [Pleasure], why did you choose that [Blank]?"
"You should know she's somewhat problematic, right? Her resentment towards 'Sin' doesn't seem as heavy as it appears, and she even devoured one of your Divine Messengers before."
After a long while, [Pleasure]'s voice sounded, chuckling lightly.
"Because it's fun~"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air was clearly filled with a restless atmosphere. Obviously, some gods were beginning to get angry!
[Pleasure]'s behavior was like someone suddenly jumping out during a serious meeting to spout inappropriate nonsense, quite detestable.
"Ah, don't be angry, don't be angry." The Arbitrator once again raised his hand and pressed down, calming the space.
"I said, I'm just everyone's waiter. You all know that."
"I'm just saying things everyone wants to say, things everyone is concerned about, exchanging information. Everyone really shouldn't stoop to such low levels."
"Have you been in contact with humans for too long, picking up some bad habits? Haha..."
No one responded to the Arbitrator's joke. It didn't serve to lighten the atmosphere at all;
instead, it made the atmosphere even more awkward.
"Alright, I've finished stating the current situation. Now that everyone knows, regardless of how we proceed, our key issue is still to resolve 'Sin' as quickly as possible. Their world number one has been stuck for too long."
"However, with our current rules, it seems we really can't resolve him."
"Speaking of which, their world is quite interesting. This is already the second surprising individual, not to mention Agony chose him. It's really somewhat hard to understand..."
The Arbitrator spoke while looking around, as if hoping for some response.
"Try finding a way to bypass him. There's no guarantee what backup plans Agony left on him. No need to waste time on him."
A relatively calm voice sounded, seemingly belonging to the more even-tempered type.
But immediately after, [War]'s furious roar followed, intense energy currents stirring the space.
"What! Bypass him?!"
"Have you all started yielding to humans now?"
The god who had spoken earlier said calmly:
"It's just to achieve the goal. I have no interest in understanding him."
"But currently, it seems we can't bypass him." The Arbitrator said.
"At least not before the next game. Think about the next game's content?"
[Death] spoke again:
"Match him with those slightly troublesome individuals from previous worlds, and deal with them collectively."
The gods fell silent, offering no additional opinions.
The Arbitrator waited a moment, then said with a smile:
"Alright, then let's leave it at that for now. As I said, you decide, I execute. I'm just a waiter."
"Also, a reminder. That somewhat strange mask of his seems about to unlock its full mode..."
"What Agony was thinking back then, what he left on him, we have no way of knowing. So, don't underestimate him."
"I look forward to that day! I look forward to him being worthy of being killed by my own hand." [War] left these final words, then directly departed from the space, which gradually quieted down once more.
.......
The Capital.
The game area protective shield here exploded with a roar. The Grand Elder, surrounded by twenty-four orbs, had terrifying energy radiating from his entire body.
Yes, in this most crucial city, he had taken action.
Therefore, all Apostles here were annihilated. Order was strictly maintained within the game. A Divine Messenger who had come to this place had just fallen by his hand. The game ended.
The Grand Elder's face now appeared very young, as if he had regained his youth. His robes billowed under his black cloak, his eyes shining brightly like stars.
Ignoring the Dragon Group members rapidly pouring into the game area, he just looked up somewhat hesitantly, his sharp eyes gazing towards the cosmos.
"They just now... seemed somewhat quiet..."
