Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 749: A Desperate Choice: The Last Four!

His mind involuntarily thought of that masked figure.

The god he had encountered was a complete beast, but... "Sin" was probably also a beast...

If it were him, he would likely completely disregard these people's lives, thinking they had nothing to do with him.

But obviously, that wouldn't work either. These people were innocently implicated because of his game, and even if we disregard these moral factors...

Abandoning these people's lives clearly couldn't be considered the "correct choice" either!

Because in the first game, the two-choose-one game, he wasn't sure what the game intended and didn't have time to rescue them, so both died.

And it still counted as him making the wrong choice!

This pitch-black sea, which had swallowed who knows how many living beings, had an extremely powerful weakening effect on a person's spirit. He wasn't quite sure how much longer he could hold on.

He only knew that he absolutely could not truly listen to Despair's conditions, but so far, he didn't know how to break the deadlock.

Perhaps his spirit had already been influenced by the emotion of despair...Lifting his golden hair, now completely soaked by the black water, and wiping the water from his face, he looked up at the sky, at the enormous, endless skeleton.

The voice of [Despair] came from there. He wasn't quite sure if this skeleton was [Despair]'s true form.

"Your game seems to have no connection between you and me."

"If there's any game mode, come at me. What's the point of targeting these people?"

Beside the blood moon in the skeleton's eye socket, hearing this, [Despair] shook his head disdainfully.

To say something like this at such a time, still wanting to play the hero, to shoulder it all alone? Can you bear that burden?!

Besides, the despair from these ordinary players, though not much, is still better than nothing. Since there's this opportunity, of course I should collect as much as possible.

Moreover, like [Knowledge], this time He also only set up one game, only targeting one player, and that was the Perfect Life before him.

In His view, although this world was troublesome, the truly difficult ones were only a handful.

Since that "Sin" had a connection with [Agony], He would leave him be for now. Among the remaining people, that "Sun" seemed like something for [War] to handle.

And among all the humans in this world, this Perfect Life was the existence that combined all the excellent genes.

Therefore, he should be the one representing humanity. "Sin" was more like an accident.

So destroying someone like him would bring Him greater benefits.

Not to mention, by the time the people of this world realized what they were facing, "Sin" should have already been taken down by [Agony]. And then, if this final hope, Perfect Life, was destroyed by Him...

That level of despair should be the most extreme level He could imagine.

Seeing that Perfect Life's mental state could still hold on, He immediately felt too lazy to say more and just casually waved His hand. The skeleton beneath Him began to move.

It saw the enormous skeletal hand reach into the black sea. After a while, it scooped up a large ship from within.

Light flickered on the large ship. Suddenly, a large number of figures materialized on the deck out of thin air, densely packed, all of them players.

The players looked bewildered, not quite understanding what was happening.

Immediately after, a loud bang accompanied by violent tremors was heard. The large ship...

Thud!

...was directly thrown into the Despair Secret Sea by the enormous skeletal giant.

But that was not a real sea at all. The corrosive nature and gravity of the seawater caused the large ship to disintegrate rapidly!

Watching this scene, Perfect Life's expression changed drastically. The number of people this time was far greater than any previous instance, already reaching over a thousand.

If this was the case, the game wouldn't even need to descend. Using His own game, could [Despair] slowly kill all the people in the world?!

"Your game is fundamentally unsolvable! There's no standard for the correct choice at all. You just say it's incorrect when you feel like it!"

Perfect Life roared sharply.

[That's not true. The game is fair and reasonable. That Arbitrator will be watching all along.]

[I suggest you hurry up. Oh dear, the ship is breaking...]

The voice of despair came from high above, causing Perfect Life to involuntarily look at the large ship.

At this moment, under the battering of the turbulent black seawater, the large ship split into two halves, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed off in two different directions!

Several people had already fallen into the sea.

Gritting his teeth, he shot up from the seawater, resisting the gravity, and flew towards the side with more people!

He knew he couldn't hesitate this time. There were too many people. He could only try to save as many as possible.

"Rise!!"

Ignoring the screams coming from the other side, he knew that hundreds would die because of his choice.

His eyes bloodshot, he roared and used his ability to lift the larger half of the ship out of the water.

Crack!

Under such powerful opposing forces, the ship's structure directly disintegrated again, splitting into two halves once more.

And this time, the number of people on each half was even less than the number who had died on the initial half!

Perfect Life: !?

He was stunned.

And at that moment, the voice of [Despair], like a clinging bone worm, wormed its way back into his ears.

[Oh dear, that was a bit overestimating your abilities.]

[If you had gone to save that side from the beginning...]

As Despair spoke from within the skeleton's eyes, He pressed down the corners of His mouth that wanted to curl up.

Tsk... Has Pleasure's power grown a bit too much? Why do I even feel like laughing?

......

[Hahahahaha!]

On the other side, in the blank space, [Pleasure]'s laughter still hadn't stopped.

After ruining another god's betting game, He had brought Xie Antong back to this initial interface, hands on hips, feeling absolutely fantastic.

He now had a feeling that His current power had likely reached the strongest among the gods!

[You did well, little girl. I'm starting to like you a bit. You really are my most capable Apostle~.]

Satisfied, He patted the other's shoulder, friendly as if the [Pleasure] who had intended to kill her before had never existed.

[Hurry up, let's continue.]

But this time, after He finished speaking, Xie Antong didn't move, not rushing to choose a world.

Her face had turned somewhat pale, and sadness gradually spread in her eyes.

She had tried her best, saving many players this way, but more people, because the corresponding gods accelerated the game process, still lost their lives more quickly.

And now, on the screen before her, only three remained.

Including her, those who had not yet completed their games were only...

The final four!
