Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 732: The Arrogance of Knowledge, Qualification Test

On the mist-shrouded face of Knowledge, colors continuously shifted and flowed, reflecting the fluctuations in His emotions.

He absolutely never expected that this guy called "Sin" would have this kind of attitude. In His understanding, allowing the other party to ask Him questions was giving the other party a chance!

Male or female... haha.

But very quickly, He believed He already understood.

[Are you deliberately using this kind of nonsensical talk to show your indifference and lack of fear?]

[There's absolutely no need. You don't have to play these little mind games in front of an existence not on your level; it offers no benefit to your survival.]

Knowledge clasped His hands behind His back, speaking lightly beside Lu Ce.

His voice carried a trace of smugness at having seen through someone.

Lu Ce's response, however, was extremely simple.

Lu Ce: ?Yes, on his flowing, rainbow-colored mask composed of seven colors, the light slowly gathered and assembled, forming a large question mark.

Not a single word. Clearly, for Lu Ce, he also completely hadn't expected a god to say such a thing.

A bit humorous, isn't it?

Knowledge: ......

Before coming, He had thought about leaving this guy hanging for a while. No matter what reaction the other had or what they said, with His abilities, He could easily see through the other's heart.

But now, the other party hadn't said a word, just condensed a question mark on his face, which instead made Him uncontrollably furious.

[Haha... ignorant of life and death.]

[You...]

Just as He was about to continue saying something, He was once again interrupted by the "people" before Him.

"You're called... what god again?"

"Seems like you just said it was called Knowledge, did you forget?"

"Don't remember. Knowledge... a big database? Is this what happens when artificial intelligence gains consciousness?"

"Not sure. Looks a bit like an idiot. Don't tell me it's artificial stupidity."

The Lu Ce in front suddenly started bickering "one after another." In reality, it was just him having a schizophrenic episode again.

He had tested it before. When wearing this mask, his mind became very split, as if it had seven personalities.

Usually, it was fine. But when specifically needing to ponder some problems, it was prone to arguing with itself.

"Quiet!"

Lu Ce shouted at himself, forcefully knocking on his own head to unify his spirit. He looked up at Knowledge and said:

"Sorry... do you have something? Oh right, the Game. Next, are we going to play a game?"

Knowledge's fists gradually clenched. The energy throughout His body seemed somewhat unstable. In His view, this disgusting creature before Him was purely trying to deliberately disgust Him.

But Lu Ce seemed to not feel that destructive aura at all. He just looked at Him very calmly, even with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Finally, the violent aura on Knowledge's body slowly dissipated. He just shook His head.

[Do you know why I don't attack you?]

"Huh? Were you thinking of attacking just now?" Lu Ce raised his hand and scratched his mask. "I thought we were communicating quite pleasantly."

Knowledge: ......

For some reason, just hearing this guy talk made Him feel a bit angry.

This kind of disordered, chaotic creature was naturally incompatible with His aura. Such things should just be tossed to a guy like Pleasure to deal with.

Forget it. If he had too much fun with Pleasure, Pleasure might completely forget about the plan to kill him. Better to handle it Himself.

He shook His head, His tone carrying a somewhat justified arrogance, and spoke:

[Do you really think that I, an existence like you, am truly bound by any Game, or by the Arbitrator guy's mandatory requirements?]

[In your heart, do you think that although you're gambling with me, the Game will definitely prevent me from attacking, so you can be utterly reckless?]

As He spoke, Knowledge also sneered coldly.

[It's not like that. You don't understand the complexity between us and this Game. In reality, if a god truly wants to do something, you mortals have absolutely no right to obstruct it.]

[It's just that we don't think it's worth it. We don't think killing you requires that much trouble. You don't have that qualification, understand?]

Knowledge turned around, carrying a condescending, oppressive feeling, as if looking at an ant.

However, Lu Ce's reply was even more indifferent than He had imagined.

"I know. I've always known."

Knowledge: ?

"Haven't I been taking advantage of your way of thinking all along to do as I please? Is that even worth mentioning? Your knowledge seems a bit lacking."

"I also know you'll keep this mindset. Even if I state it outright, and no matter how excessively I provoke you, you'll still keep giving me chances."

"Until it's too late for you to change yourselves."

"Look, just like this time. Among you, you actually sent the weakest one to deal with me."

As he spoke, an exceptionally brilliant, golden smile appeared on the flowing, rainbow-colored mask of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Looking at this smiling face, for a fleeting moment, Knowledge wanted to attack without regard for anything and kill him directly!

Even He Himself didn't know where that feeling came from, vanishing as quickly as a shooting star.

In the end, He just smiled, too lazy to waste too many words on a dead man.

In the previous meeting of the gods, it was He who had actively chosen to deal with this annoying Player.

Because, according to the system currently established by the Game, He was the most convenient one.

As long as it was a gamble, the amount of power a god could use, if they lost in the end, they would have to give up corresponding power.

Although They didn't believe They would lose, it was still best to have an opportunity to eliminate this guy in front of them purely through the Game's rules without having to act directly.

Then Knowledge was the most suitable one.

[Haha...]

[I can tell you, it was I who chose you. It was I who actively decided to come and play a game with you.]

[However, just because you've seen me doesn't mean you're truly qualified to play a game with me. Whether you have the qualification or not still depends on the situation.]

"Uh, actually, if you really don't want to play, you don't have to..." Lu Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, also speaking somewhat speechlessly.

The arrogance of the gods was somewhat different from his own "Pride." It was truly something dissolved deep within the soul, difficult to change.

You're already here. The Game has already started. And you're still putting on this fake show of a qualification test.

Knowledge paid no heed to this. He simply waved His hand lightly. The white beach before them began to glow.

[Since you've been playing with stones for so long, let's use this as your qualification test.]

[On this beach, how many grains of sand and stones are there?]
