Chapter 702: The Gathering of the Seven Gods! This is the first time we've ever seen such a scene
As the Arbitrator raised his right hand, Perfect Life instantly froze. In his perception, the entire space began to feel crowded.
He whipped his head around, but the surrounding space showed no visible difference; it remained as vast and empty as before.
It was just that, due to the suppression by the Godslayer Spike and the impact of Sin being instantly killed, the previously chaotic scene had somewhat subsided, with many people temporarily ceasing their attacks.
Apart from Sun, he was now the only one still relentlessly pursuing Tu Shan.
Perfect Life suddenly felt the flow of time in the world slow down, as if the entire space was crammed full by something enormous.
This was a characteristic of his ability. Among all the people in the Room, he was probably the only one who could sense this oppressive feeling.
Void!
The next second, the Gods descended!
There was no external sound, yet it was as if a thunderclap echoed in everyone's ears, shaking their hearts and minds. It felt as if something immense and awe-inspiring was gradually being born.
Space was torn asunder one after another. One after another, phantoms materialized out of thin air, their faces and forms completely blurred, like encrypted videos, filling everyone's vision with one cluster of pixelation after another.But the violent auras emanating from them made the very space exceptionally unstable. Among them, a few even gave those present a faint sense of familiarity.
[Gods]!
Those weren't Divine Messengers; they could only be Gods!
The arrivals were undoubtedly Gods from the Game, with absolutely no other possibility. This familiar, suffocatingly oppressive aura was something Perfect Life had experienced before.
Back then, when facing [Despair], it was etched into his very bones...
This time, why had so many come? This was far too ostentatious...
The entire space trembled. An earthquake was impossible in this void of cosmic space; it was a pure tide of energy, causing this space to swell in unison.
[Sigh, alright, alright. No more room, the space is clearly insufficient now.]
[Let's leave it at this. May I trouble you all to restrain yourselves a bit.]
The Arbitrator's voice was gentle, like an orderly administrator, speaking calmly.
Under the Arbitrator's words, the auras of the seven figures completely shrouded in illusory light gradually calmed, striving to reach a balance and prevent the entire space from collapsing.
This space could, at most, accommodate these seven phantoms. And Perfect Life could clearly sense that [Despair] was definitely among them!
The seven figures instantly closed in, forming a circle. Before the minds of everyone around the round table could even react, their bodies were pushed away by a powerful force and tossed out.
Around the massive round table, only these seven encircling figures remained, all gazing at Lu Ce, who was pinned to the table, as if observing a bloody sacrifice.
Their figures weren't particularly towering, but Perfect Life could distinctly feel that the space was now crammed full with "their" presence.
It was like invisible limbs, scrambling and jostling against each other within the space, dividing it equally into seven parts.
The "Heroes" at this moment were completely stunned, their bodies trembling like chaff in a sieve, struggling to remain upright in the space.
They too could recognize what kind of existence had arrived before them, but such beings were only glimpsed once, during the destruction of their worlds!
This time, so many had come?!
Xue Zou's body swayed unsteadily. She staggered back a few steps and instinctively reached out, grabbing onto Xie Antong's arm beside her.
"He... he?"
Seeing Xue Zou's visibly shaken state, Xie Antong managed a strained smile.
"Relax... I'm seeing this kind of scene for the first time too."
"Ah? So lively! Hello, everyone. How about we all introduce ourselves?"
This grand spectacle didn't frighten Lu Ce. Or perhaps, it was hard for any spectacle to frighten a fool who had completely lost himself.
He acted as if playing around, grabbing the Godslayer Spike in his chest with both hands and using it as a pivot to spin his entire body in a circle, greeting the seven descended Gods.
That mental fortitude was truly unparalleled throughout history.
In the Spectator perspective of his live stream, people couldn't directly feel the oppressive aura of the Seven Gods through the broadcast images. In their view, they were just seven strange clusters of light.
Therefore, their focus remained more on Sin's antics.
[: So cute~]
[: God-tier trolling. That amount of blood loss suggests a trip to the horror/gore section.]
[: Huh? Not cool, dude. Why is my screen black?!]
Amidst the cheerful banter, the live stream feed was abruptly cut. For broadcasts involving Sin, this had almost become a habitual operation.
Thus, everyone could only curse at the black screen.
However, there was one exception.
In the Council of Elders room within the Dragon Group's basement, Nie Jiu Tian looked at the screen before him and slowly closed his eyes.
"Truly... an unfolding I never imagined. Going this big."
As he spoke, his brow furrowed tightly. He raised his hand, his fingers sharpening into blades, and slashed a bone-deep wound across his brow.
Then, two beads transformed into flying shuttles, violently piercing through both his ears!
......
[Everyone, time is not abundant, and the Rules are not very explicit in this regard either.]
[Speaking as the impartial one, this is already the maximum leeway the Rules currently permit. If you wish to act... then leave no room for hesitation.]
The Arbitrator spoke to himself. In fact, within the [Gods'] faction, He had been the only one speaking from beginning to end.
The seven Gods gave no response. They only moved in unison, and what appeared to be their "hands" each manifested a Godslayer Spike!
"On which rule of the Game are you basing your actions right now?"
Amidst this oppressive silence, Perfect Life suddenly spoke up, addressing the seven Gods!
Taking the initiative to step forward at such a time, his courage had never wavered.
Even a pair of Yin-Yang Fish appeared beneath Lu Ce, almost ready to intervene and rescue at any moment.
Xue Zou looked at him in surprise, never expecting that this kind of "mantis trying to stop a chariot" rescue attempt was being made by Perfect Life!
But this scene... might have been exactly what Lu Ce wanted from the start... The Gods couldn't act with their full power either; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent seven. Don't you go messing things up now!
The All-Seeing Eye instantly flew over, transmitting a message to stop him, but Perfect Life simply turned his head and looked directly at it.
"I think the current situation isn't the time to consider personal grudges."
Xue Zou: ......
That wasn't what she meant...
However, neither the seven Gods nor the Arbitrator showed any reaction to Perfect Life's accusation, nor did they offer any response.
Yes, Their actions clearly had no specific rule previously stating them. That minor, borderline violation by "Sin" was utterly insufficient to warrant a siege by seven Gods!
It could only be said... this was the largest loophole the Game's Rules could provide for Them.
Sometimes.
Being utterly ruthless is the greatest form of respect!
