Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 708: Long Time No See, Brothers—It’s Pain Here!

Xie Antong's voice held no trace of emotion at this moment. She just staggered forward, her gaze appearing almost hollow.

Her current state was even worse than when she had been most severely controlled by Pleasure's power.

It was as if she had been possessed!

But that expression and state had nothing to do with Pleasure at all; it was downright eerie to look at.

Chiyo Eine was about to step forward when she suddenly felt a chill on her arm.

Frowning, she looked beside her and saw Xue Zou's equally numb eyes shaking at her.

Chiyo Eine didn't really know this person and frowned. Then, Xue Zou's voice, carrying the chill of ice and snow, drifted faintly into Chiyo Eine's ears.

"She is grieving. You can't help her."

She didn't know what was wrong with the other woman, but back when her own world was destroyed, she had reacted similarly.

Chiyo Eine: ...Watching Xie Antong walk over, the overloaded Sloth scratched his head and said hesitantly:

"Generally speaking, there's no rule about surviving after getting this thing stabbed through the head, right? We have to be reasonable, don't we?"

"Besides, what's with that expression of yours? Shouldn't you be quite happy that he's dead?"

"Oh~ I get it. One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of kindness, right? You still hold a little bit of affection for him."

"Actually, if you ask me, we should just call it quits. Men are everywhere; why keep obsessing over this guy?"

"He's basically beyond saving, intoxicated by power. In essence, he's not much different from that flaming idiot over there."

Sun: ?

Who is he talking about?

"If he really went all out for power, he'd be someone who recognizes neither kin nor friend. You worry about him, but who worries about you? If he had to choose between power and you, he'd most likely choose power over you."

"Look, take now for example. For the sake of power, this outcome was his own choice. He didn't discuss it with you at all, nor did he consider whether you'd be sad."

"...Right?"

The guy with the dark green face had a rather heavy, paternalistic air about him and started lecturing away.

But the problem was, he didn't even look at what kind of occasion this was!

Behind him were the five divine apparitions of CHOSEN’S PARADISE! and a completely clueless Arbitrator!

He still had the Godslayer Spike stuck in him!

And he was just fine, completely ignoring everything, sitting cross-legged with his back to this deadly bunch, spreading his hands, and his mouth just started babbling.

It was truly incredible, leaving everyone present utterly dumbfounded.

And the Xie Antong before him wasn't much better off. Amidst this chaotic energy field and this unknown situation, she was still taking step after step forward.

Her mouth only knew how to repeat:

"He... is really dead?"

This time, the overloaded Sloth didn't waste words and nodded forcefully.

"Yeah! Dead!"

Xie Antong's body shuddered violently as if struck by lightning, froze, then stiffly fell face-first to the ground, motionless.

This game, from start to finish, had truly tortured her to the end.

From the initial puzzle-solving, keeping an eye on beings like Lu Ce and the Arbitrator, her mental energy had been rapidly depleting, relying on pills and borrowing Pleasure's power.

Finally, when the truth came out, she had activated Perfect Life again, and then Nie Jiu Tian's Soul-Piercing Sound arrived. Her spirit felt like it was being sliced to pieces!

Just now, it should have been the time for her ability backlash and negative emotions to surge, but then she received the news of Lu Ce's death—another critical blow.

Pleasure's power almost instantly took over her body. The extreme sorrow and negativity in her soul, combined with extreme pleasure, resulted in her expressionless state.

Just now, she couldn't hold on and collapsed directly!

Right at the moment Sloth uttered the words "dead."

"Huh?" Now it was Sloth's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Uh, I said *he* is dead, not you."

"You're making it seem like my words have power. Let me clarify, this is not my ability~"

As he spoke, he looked up and explained to the people around him, like a stand-up comedian.

Looking at Xie Antong on the ground, a trace of reminiscence and profound meaning flashed deep in his eyes.

Pleasure, oh Pleasure, is this fate?

After a long while, as if he had figured something out, he shook his head, a look of pity on his face.

"Ah, this situation. One of them brain-dead, the other physically dead. How did this good thing come in pairs?"

"Hmm, seems like it should be called 'misfortunes never come singly'..."

"Forget it. Since all friends and family are present, let's just hold the funeral while we're here, saving everyone the trouble later."

"Let us congratulate this new couple. Their feelings began in the beautiful era of campus youth..."

"Wait, isn't this turning into wedding vows?"

As he spoke, this dark-green-faced guy even knocked on his own head again, one hand gripping that spike, and shook his brain a little.

His words and actions here seemed utterly outrageous no matter how you looked at it.

It took everyone a long moment to process: these two... are dead?

But soon, they couldn't think about anything else. An overwhelming, fierce divine might pressed everyone firmly to the ground.

They were truly angry!

Did they think They were fools if They didn't get angry!?

Before, They weren't very clear either about what this suddenly appearing thing was, how it had this kind of aura, but... he's just playing around now?

According to the internal game rules of the Game, the gods cannot directly intervene. Throwing the Godslayer Spike earlier was already the biggest loophole.

Thus, it fell to the Arbitrator to speak up:

[This... friend, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?]

[It seems you weren't invited here. Wait, who are you?!]

Using his butt as the pivot point, Sloth spun around in a circle, turning to face the gods before him, and grinned.

"Huh? Don't recognize me?"

"Long time no see, brothers! I'm Agony!"

Huh?!

Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment. This time, the gods were genuinely shocked.

The next second, chaotic divine power rampaged recklessly through space, leaving the remaining Players on the verge of fainting!

The chaotic divine power represented Their shock.

[Agony... impossible! You're already dead! I know best that you died!]

The Arbitrator said with a note of disbelief, but before he could finish his question, space began to shift.

Suddenly, the power of one of the five gods began to surge wildly, breaking the balance. Clearly, that one had failed to control its emotions and had gotten a bit serious.

Space began to collapse piece by piece. As one of the divine apparitions solidified slightly, a somewhat sharp female voice came from it.

[Agony!!! I knew you damn thing weren't dead!]
