Chapter 707: Still Some Distance from Godhood, but Already Far from Humanity
"Hehehehehe....."
"Gah gah gah!!!"
In this space so quiet it felt like water could drip from it at any moment, a strange, eerie laughter suddenly rang out.
The owner of that laughter seemed to find it insufficiently satisfying, laughing so hard that by the end, it even sounded like a duck quacking!
An exceptionally unpleasant, quacking laughter echoed through this space, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.
The gods all sensed something was off; for just an instant, the space-time of this area had become somewhat chaotic.
Wasn't the Arbitrator always controlling this space? They didn't dare use their power freely, fearing they'd mess things up.
Yet in their eyes, the Arbitrator's expression was also quite... spectacular.
[What the... hell......]
Perfect Life's power had been constantly sensing this space. From the very beginning, he had sensed that the seven gods who appeared had divided this space equally into seven parts, crowded together.And after War and Despair suddenly withdrew, the spatial energy here felt much looser.
But now, another power had abruptly joined in! Making things here very unbalanced.
Who had come?
"Ahahahahahaha!"
That bizarre, uproarious laughter was still ongoing, as if someone was tied to a tree, had honey smeared on their feet, and was being licked by a goat.
Judging by the level of joy, it was to the point of nearly laughing oneself to death!
"Who the hell is laughing so ugly! Are you out of your mind!"
Sun had originally been immersed in his own world; Tu Shan was already dead by his hand, with one of Sun's hands plunged into the other's chest.
Gripping that softness in the other's chest—the heart.
The Blasphemer's Medal was already exerting its power; he was devouring, consuming the legacy belonging to [Slaughter].
He had been laughing himself, but who! Who was laughing more wildly, more hideously than him!?
With the Godslayer Spike impaled in his abdomen, he turned his head to look toward the source of the laughter. By now, basically everyone present was doing the same.
Everyone turned, their gazes focusing on the table, on that guy who had already been nailed down, who had completely lost all signs of life just moments ago.
He was laughing uproariously, but his state genuinely made one's hair stand on end.
—The dead man was laughing!
His head was pierced by the Godslayer Spike, his face already stained with large swathes of blood, yet he could still laugh like this!
"I... what the fuck."
Xue Zou couldn't help but curse, feeling her limbs go somewhat numb.
Before, Xie Antong had kept telling her not to underestimate this guy, was this what she meant? In other worlds, there were already such undying bodies that could challenge gods!?
Feng Wang was also stunned. Her own ability was wound repair, limb regeneration; the hand Sun had thrown earlier was hers, Xie Antong's judgment was correct.
It's just, she could regrow it.
But, having one's brain pierced?...
"Sloth?...."
Only Xie Antong, currently cautious and with some hesitation, couldn't help but speak up.
She sensed something was off; this state should mean Lu Ce had overloaded, but this didn't resemble Sloth at all!
It seemed more like Greed, Lust, or those kinds of things..
"Sloth!?"
Hearing Xie Antong's voice, Lu Ce suddenly sat up!
Yes, sat up!
The Godslayer Spike was still stuck in his head, his chest also pierced by the thing, but as he rose, they were all pulled out!
Just like that, with the Godslayer Spike in hand, he turned to look at Xie Antong, raised a finger and pointed at her, saying:
"Sloth is dead! You chose... oh, this has nothing to do with you."
Saying this, he slightly turned his body, pointing at the god who had hammered the spike into his head, and cursed:
"You chose this, idol!"
After he finished, the scene became extremely awkward and fell into a cold silence. He raised his hand and knocked on his own head.
"Hey, do you think this thing got punctured and leaked? What era's lame meme is this."
"This thing, it's all mixed up, who designed it......"
"Who would know? Maybe they just thought it was fun."
"......"
He patted his head on the left, rubbed his shoulder on the right, muttering gibberish no one could understand. No one paid him any attention, but he seemed to be having a grand old time.
Everyone: ......
The gods: ......
This behavior left everyone speechless.
But Perfect Life could also confirm that the extra presence in that room was precisely the current "Sin"!
Had he... become a god?
The cacophony in Xie Antong's and the gods' ears all vanished simultaneously. Clearly, Nie Jiu Tian had withdrawn as well.
He really couldn't hold on any longer.
In the basement, Nie Jiu Tian's body shriveled back into a little old man, still skewered by that dark golden spike, retching violently.
But nothing came out—no blood, no saliva, nothing. The man looked like a flickering candle in the wind, seemingly emptied out into a hollow bag.
"Ruthless, truly ruthless... nailed by four spikes, yet you held on. What the hell was that just now?"
"No, can't listen anymore, don't end up dying from listening to you......"
"However, kid... although you're still some distance from being a god, you're already very far from being human."
The Grand Elder looked like he had only one breath left, but a smile appeared on his face.
......
In the game, Xie Antong watched the mentally unhinged Sloth, truly having no idea what this overload ability was.
"Hey! Are you thinking in your heart, what is this guy's overload ability?"
Xue Zou: ?
"It's actually very simple."
The person with the dark green face sat cross-legged on the table, introducing himself as if no one else was around.
"Know why you have to keep sleeping after putting on that mask?"
"Because, inside that mask's body, a god is imprisoned."
"He died, so naturally I came out, hehe, gotta thank my little brothers here behind me too."
He even raised a hand, gesturing toward the five gods and the Arbitrator behind him.
The few gods looked at each other, feeling bewildered for the first time.
No way...
But Xie Antong couldn't hear this. Earlier, when she sensed something was wrong, subconsciously, she had already had this suspicion.
"You mean... he really died?"
"Can't quite say it like that!" Saying this, the overloaded Sloth scratched the back of his head where the spike was still embedded. "This was also his wish. He wanted to pursue power, right? So here I am."
Xie Antong couldn't help but take a step forward.
"You're saying... he really died?"
