Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 712: The God of Provocation, The "Methods" of the Gods

Arbitrator: ?!

The gods: ......

Oh no!

The few who were relatively close to [War] had already unconsciously put some distance between themselves and him.

[Pleasure] was slightly stunned for a moment, then his expression turned quite spectacular, unable to hold back the urge to laugh, and he looked towards Sloth once more.

He had just finished saying "a word or two from you won't change anything," and now it had already changed.

Interesting, interesting...

And at this moment, the space that had just barely stabilized began to tremble and sway once again.

Judging by [War]'s demeanor, it seemed like his true form was about to manifest into the world!

One sentence, and the battle intent of [War], who was already barely able to suppress it, soared to the heavens!Was he really so brainless? Could such a simple sentence provoke him to such an extent?

Of course not.

The main reason was because he was [War]!

Every god was frantically collecting and increasing their power. What did he rely on? Of course, he relied on this.

Back then, he had said that if "Sin" crossed that line, he would definitely come to kill! Now the other party had done it, so how could he have any reason not to act?

Therefore, whether from an emotional standpoint or from the standpoint of his core interests, since he had come, he absolutely had to take action.

He himself knew it, Sloth knew it, and the Arbitrator knew it too.

That's why the Arbitrator was so shocked, whipping his head around to look at that extremely bizarre expression on the dark green face, unable to speak for a long time.

Agony wasn't dead. What was he doing by suddenly appearing this time?

He must have deliberately said those words, said them for War to hear. What was his name [Agony]? He might as well be called [Provocation]!

Why must he take action? Did he want the rules of the Game to collapse? Did he want the established order to turn to dust and ashes the moment he returned?

What was he thinking? Back then, none of the gods could understand what he was thinking, and it was still the same now.

He truly deserved to die! He shouldn't have come back to life.

If he had a physical body, the Arbitrator would probably be breaking out in a cold sweat right now. Unable to think too much at the moment, he quickly turned back to [War] and said.

[War! Calm down, he's deliberately saying this.]

[He is Agony, he is no longer that kid. The person you're looking for isn't him!]

[He's using you! This place simply cannot...]

*Clang!*

The long spear left its sheath.

A long spear, how could it possibly leave its sheath?

Yet it did!

[War] hadn't glanced at the Arbitrator from start to finish. The other party had already issued a challenge; he couldn't possibly not accept it.

He didn't say much, merely revealing his divine weapon.

It was a long spear, its spearhead crimson as if stained with blood. The moment it appeared, it erupted with a terrifying aura—a will that thirsted for war.

Even a divine weapon had been revealed; that meant this matter was truly troublesome!

"You have one, but I don't?" Sloth sneered, turning his hand over to produce two divine weapons!

It was somewhat humorous, really. The genuine [War] had only pulled out one divine weapon, yet this "ordinary person" flipped his hand and pulled two from his backpack.

In his left hand, the Extreme Path Battle Axe; in his right, Heart-Piercing Thunder!

This equipment could be called luxurious, causing Pleasure and his group nearby to involuntarily take a second look.

But taking them out wasn't the end of it. Who knows what went through his mind—maybe he'd been made stupid by the nail—he put away the Extreme Path Battle Axe in his hand.

"I'm used to this thing, so I won't use it. Afraid you can't handle it."

"I'll just play with you using Heart-Piercing Thunder. Coincidentally, this thing was more or less obtained from you (Heart-Piercing Thunder was obtained from the game where he fought Judgment)."

These words were purely meant to stab someone right in the gut.

Although the Arbitrator had no heart, nor flesh, hearing this still made him feel terrified. Judging by the meaning of these words, it seemed like they were going to fight to the death.

What was he trying to do?!

[Everyone, this place really can't contain so many great gods like you!]

[You're all usually quite busy, so how about... please return first? At least let one leave.]

Taking advantage of the fact they hadn't properly started fighting again, he quickly spoke up to discuss with Pleasure and the other gods.

Perfect Life felt it was correct. Counting from when these gods entered, the auras of seven gods had already filled the room to capacity.

But including "Sin," there were now eight. This space had been trembling all along.

This wasn't something that could be solved by forcefully suppressing auras. This was a matter of rank; this small place simply couldn't hold this bunch of gods!

The Arbitrator's words were quite effective, which basically meant... completely no one listened.

Several gods remained motionless, each with their own hidden agendas, standing there watching the situation on the field.

Usually, they were indeed each very busy, with things to do, but obviously now, the matter here was the most important thing.

They also wanted to know what this resurrected Agony had planned back then, what he wanted to do now, and... how much of his strength did he still possess now!

The two figures on the field had already moved simultaneously, one descending from the heavens, the other shooting up from the ground.

The table shattered into dust under Sloth's stomp. The Heart-Piercing Thunder in his hand looked like a thick black club, colliding with the silver spear smashing down from above.

With a deafening bang, the two divine weapons collided, and then the Heart-Piercing Thunder shattered accordingly!

The long spear cleaved directly through the middle of the Heart-Piercing Thunder, following the force down, piercing directly into the palm of Sloth's hand.

Then through the entire arm, shoulder, chest cavity, finally piercing out from his back! It looked uncommonly painful.

Don't think this strike looked as spectacularly imposing as the previous one that dragged the river of stars. In reality, him personally taking action meant the level was absolutely higher, and the power even greater.

[You couldn't win back then. Have you always been this weak, or are you just this weak now?]

War finally spoke a complete sentence.

But Sloth, looking at this strike that had nearly destroyed him, merely smiled, twisted his body, and lodged the long spear within his own flesh.

Then, the Heart-Piercing Thunder, which had shattered at a touch, instantly danced wildly in the air like the sharpest blades, swirling around the phantom of [War] and slashing relentlessly.

"You spoke a bit early, didn't you? What's the rush?"

[War] snorted coldly, stubbornly enduring the damage, violently yanked his long spear out, and retreated.

Sloth had no intention of pursuing, merely casually twisting the nail in his head again and saying with a laugh:

"You haven't improved much, have you? What's your method?"

"Hah, talking about challenging yourself, splitting off a few pieces of flesh, letting them grow independently, and then you take them back?"

"Still glorifying it by saying they could kill you later if they become powerful. Hah, if you really had the guts, you'd split yourself in two, let each grow independently, and then have a fight to the death, wouldn't that work? Still weak, truly."

War said nothing.

......

In the distance, Perfect Life lay quietly on the ground, not moving, listening, thinking.

He keenly felt that what this [Agony] said seemed to contain some rather important information.

Method, what did that mean?

"It means these gods are actually each not doing too well, trying every method to increase their abilities, finding a way to keep their dog lives."

Agony's voice turned to look at Perfect Life and said.

Perfect Life: !?
