Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 739: The Variable Belonging to [Pleasure]

[Hmm? You don't want to care about him anymore?]

"Pleasure" found these words a bit strange. He even took the initiative to glance at another screen over there, watching as "Sin" on that side had already begun discussing a new round of the game with [Knowledge].

[You seem quite confident in him. Don't wait until you really come back to check on him only to find he's already dead.]

"Were the words you said earlier true to your word?"

Xie Antong paid no mind to His mental pollution, merely firming her own thoughts and repeating her words once more.

[Ah, that game format is acceptable, I agree.] "Pleasure" said very nonchalantly.

[However, you ask if I keep my word? Hahahaha!]

[What a joke! Of course, everything I say is just for fun. What's this about keeping my word or not? Do you really think I care about so-called promises?]

"Pleasure" didn't care about these things in the slightest. Going back on his word, changing orders overnight, deception, and reneging—He felt this better suited His nature.

[In fact, even me saying I have no intention of killing you is just for fun. It's hard to say when I might change my mind.][While I haven't lost interest yet, I suggest you hurry up.]

"Pleasure" made a yawning motion, speaking words filled with lethal intent with a very placid expression, looking as if He was already feeling somewhat bored.

Although this was called a "Human vs. God battle," the only one who could truly catch His eye was "Sin." Hmm, this woman before Him counted as half.

It wasn't that the other players had issues with their strength. After all, if we're talking about strength problems, none of these people had the power to rival a god.

The key was, these people were all too boring...

Xie Antong nodded, looking at the screens before her. In truth, her conscience was being tormented.

Because, among those fifty-plus screens, several had already gone dark.

It couldn't possibly be that some of them had already defeated a god so quickly. That meant they were dead!

Regardless of their individual purposes, these were some of the top players among humanity.

They had spent a lifetime shaping themselves, made a stunning debut after the game descended, walked before the gods, and died.

Due to the bet she had made with [Pleasure], she originally had a chance to try and save them!

But for the sake of a more stable game, to avoid stepping into a trap, she chose not to act rashly.

Earlier, she had told [Pleasure] to let them play their games, while she and Pleasure would play with them.

So, their game was, right here, betting on who would win between the people and gods in the other game scenarios!

Was there even a need to bet?

Regardless of whether "Sin" or "Sun" and people like them could possibly create some miracle, for the majority of people, they were bound to lose to the gods.

However, [Pleasure] told Xie Antong a piece of news that greatly surprised her.

—He could freely enter the game scenarios of other gods!

This was a major bug from the very founding of CHOSEN’S PARADISE!, a result of the gods being fooled by [Pleasure]!

Because whether it was "Paradise" or "Game," these were words more closely associated with Pleasure!

Therefore, in this game, after she and [Pleasure] chose their selected winning side, they would have one chance to enter that game, but only once!

To go and help the side they chose, to achieve victory!

To be honest, when Xie Antong heard [Pleasure] agree back then, her whole mind went blank—He could actually agree to this?!

This was completely a massive concession. If she chose to support the god's victory, wouldn't that be sending [Pleasure] to help the players?

Normally, in this kind of Human vs. God battle, once it was over, probably not many players would survive. But with Pleasure as this variable, everything became quite different.

She couldn't figure out what profound intentions [Pleasure] had, but for now, as long as Lu Ce was temporarily safe, she couldn't just stand by and watch people die.

Her eyes roamed back and forth across the various screens, selecting the first person.

Perfect Life was currently at sea, not sure exactly what he was doing, but it seemed he wouldn't have any life-threatening issues for a while.

Sun was already in battle. His game was interesting, with little buildup, basically fighting as soon as he entered. But this time, his opponents were three identical "selves."

Those were the three other gods [War] had split off, besides [Judgment]!

Each of Them was suppressed to a strength limit similar to Sun's, currently surrounding and trying to kill him.

Xie Antong simply had no intention of dealing with him!

It wasn't due to any grudge, but purely because "Sun's" ability was rather special. If she and [Pleasure] really went, it was completely unpredictable what might happen.

He'll have to rely on himself... Someone who wants to compete with Lu Ce should have the ability to survive here!

Xie Antong thought to herself, not wanting to waste too much time either. She raised her hand and selected a screen.

"This one. I bet the god will win!"

As she spoke, she looked at [Pleasure].

[Pleasure] glanced at her sideways, snorted disdainfully, and spoke:

[Just that? Your little scheme is too obvious. Want me to help your people?]

[I've already told you, I don't keep my word. It still depends on my mood.]

[I say I'll go help him, but after going over, I might kill him and say I'm helping him achieve liberation. You can't do anything about it~.]

"Pleasure" looked at Xie Antong, saying this with a smiling face.

"I know. But since this bet has already been proposed, if you choose not to actually help every single time, that would also be rather boring, wouldn't it?"

[That argument isn't enough.] "Pleasure" shook his head, appearing insufficiently interested.

"Using your own power alone to turn around a situation destined for defeat might be more interesting."

[Pleasure]: ...

"Whether it's the players, the other gods, or even the Arbitrator, none of them should be able to guess what you'll do. Don't you want to see Their expressions?"

[Hmm?]

Finally, Pleasure opened His eyes, His expression looking somewhat intrigued.

The next second, He instantly appeared beside Xie Antong, grabbing her shoulder with one hand.

...

In [Nightmare]'s game scenario, a pair of invisible eyes looked down upon the maze before Him, admiring His toys.

Within it, The Creator was rushing around like a headless fly, seeming as if he would be trapped here forever.

Suddenly, all the maze walls before him instantly vanished, a wide, open path appearing out of thin air, leading straight ahead!

The Creator: ?

[Nightmare]: ?

Although the holiday is over, I still wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival and Children's Day.
