Chapter 750: The Disappearance of Jiang Yuan; Because I Bet on His Victory!
Sun, Perfect Life, and "Sin."
Apart from herself, whose special situation was due to Pleasure's actions, only these three could have held out this far in the game.
And aside from the final "Sin," who always seemed to be handling things with ease, the other two looked utterly miserable.
Sun's misery was one of sheer ferocity. His stage was the purest combat challenge, and he looked like he had been teetering on the brink of collapse for a long time, yet he still hadn't fallen.
As for Perfect Life in another world, Xie Antong hadn't quite figured out what kind of game it even was.
It seemed Despair, like Pleasure, had set up rules completely different from a normal game.
The way it was judged was extremely abstract. Xie Antong had been thinking about it until now but still hadn't come up with a reasonable method that fit the judgment criteria within that game.
Although Perfect Life himself didn't seem to be in any immediate danger, given his moral standards, continuing like this would probably lead to a mental breakdown.
And who knew how many of these ordinary players would be slaughtered...
Also, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Perfect Life's condition today seemed consistently poor.Watching the three strongest players in the world struggling in their difficult games, Xie Antong couldn't help but frown.
If you thought about it this way, if not for the special circumstances on Pleasure's side this time, humanity relying on its own strength would have almost certainly been completely wiped out!
That was really close... Wait!
As she watched, she suddenly realized something was wrong, her pupils instantly contracting.
Why did she feel like she had forgotten someone?
She had basically seen all the world's top players. Following the order and urgency, she had even gone with Pleasure to help them.
But, what about Jiang Yuan?
Where was the world's fifth-ranked player!
It was unlikely he had been killed in some gap between games. She had a fair degree of confidence in her memory; she hadn't seen that guy from the very beginning.
He still had the World Relic Lu Ce gave him. That thing contained the top combatants from eight other worlds.
Where had that group of people gone?
[Ah, happy times are always so short. Only a few are left. It seems those guys acted quite fast.]
Seeing her staring blankly at the screen, Pleasure walked over and said teasingly.
"Where is Jiang Yuan?"
Xie Antong didn't say anything else, first confirming this question.
[Who? Never heard of him. I don't care about you ants' names. Maybe he got killed by someone just now.]
Pleasure said with utter indifference.
"That player from another world, the one who recognizes 'Sin' as his master."
Xie Antong subconsciously spoke but quickly shut her mouth, realizing it was pointless.
Pleasure couldn't possibly not know who she was talking about. Even if he really didn't, it didn't matter.
Because she suddenly remembered that before the game started, Pleasure had said He was not just a player in this game.
But apart from herself, she hadn't seen Pleasure's game screen just now either.
So, the reason Jiang Yuan's screen wasn't here was because he himself was facing Pleasure... right?
"He's in your game?"
[Oh? You figured it out? Not bad. Then why bother asking?]
Xie Antong: ...
"Is he still alive?"
[Hahahaha! You still have the mind to worry about that, little girl? Have you misunderstood something?]
[All of you are going to die, including you. It's just a matter of when I get bored of playing.]
[So, I suggest you don't think so much. If you dawdle any longer, there won't be any time left.]
As He spoke, He placed one hand on Xie Antong's shoulder and pointed at the screen in front of them with the other.
[Oh, right, let me say this in advance. I'm not very interested in dealing with this guy.]
He pointed at Sun's game screen.
He was quite the grudge holder. He still remembered Sun cursing Him last time.
Remember, He had already made a move back then, intending to kill him on the spot. It was purely because the Arbitrator interfered that it didn't happen.
Now... letting War deal with this guy is fine. Seems War still has some use for him.
Besides, for this direct combat-type game mode, Him going there is useless. If He makes a move, War can also step in to block Him. Those other gods like Slaughter wouldn't be affected either.
[How about him then? Perfect. I have some things to say to that guy Despair anyway.]
Pleasure tilted His chin toward Perfect Life's game screen.
"No need."
However, Xie Antong had already shifted her gaze away from those two screens and was now intently focused on the third one.
Knowledge had completely fallen into the trap, following the slope Lu Ce had built, step by step, betting who knew how much!
But the more he bet, the more power the god could use...
Wouldn't this greed of yours end up killing you?
She even saw that the Arbitrator had already appeared in that game world, talking to Knowledge, seemingly trying to advise him.
But now, Knowledge clearly wasn't listening to the Arbitrator's words. He was cursing at the other party, looking extremely angry.
Hmm, and Lu Ce was still there laughing beside them, occasionally saying a few words to stir the pot, making Xie Antong feel utterly speechless.
[So concerned! Nothing's even happened yet, and you're already abandoning those two to their fate?]
[How heartless of you.]
"Their games are different. You going there wouldn't help much and might even backfire."
Xie Antong wasn't really there to boost His power; she was just using Him to save more players. Now, Pleasure had lost that usefulness.
"Besides, his real game is about to begin..."
[Fine, whatever. I also want to see what fun stuff that guy Knowledge can come up with.]
[Shall we go then? Same old rules?]
"No." Xie Antong suddenly raised her hand to stop Him and looked at Pleasure. "This time, there will be a small change."
"This time, I bet he will win!"
[Pleasure]: ?
......
[What do you mean he's won everything so far!!?]
