Chapter 752: Adding Players Last Minute, Does [Knowledge] Want to Fight One Against Three?
[Knowledge]: ?
Hearing [Pleasure]'s voice, He turned His head somewhat indifferently, staring at [Pleasure] for a long time.
[Are you joking with me? Do you really think I wouldn't know what you were just doing in those other gods' spaces?]
Hearing [Knowledge]'s voice, [Pleasure], who had been laughing until now, finally stopped laughing.
He knew it; He and a guy like [Knowledge] were probably just not compatible. Seeing that guy's serious face just felt like a buzzkill.
[What's with that tone? I'm just here to have some fun too. Do you really think I'm eager to help you?]
As He spoke, [Pleasure] retorted with great annoyance, then meticulously recounted the bet He had made with Xie Antong.
These words weren't just meant for [Knowledge]; in a sense, they were also meant for the "Sin" standing nearby, aiming to disrupt the other's state of mind.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, that eerie masked figure tilted his head slightly and looked towards Xie Antong on the other side.
Lu Ce was absolutely shocked to learn that she and [Pleasure] could actually come up with a rule like that.Earlier, to annoy [Knowledge], he had repeatedly claimed his "brother" was putting in the work. He never expected the one actually putting in work would be someone from his own side.
However, while this method of overt strategy saved quite a few players and also weakened the gods' side, what about your own game?
This kind of game with no clear win/loss conditions or reward/punishment system—how are you going to settle it yourself in the end?
Xie Antong didn't have time to discuss much at the moment. Seeing Lu Ce look over and knowing he hadn't yet entered that uncontrollable state, she gave him a nod.
Lu Ce: ...
[Heh, so that's the situation. According to our game bet, she actually chose to bet that "Sin" would win, so I can only come help you now. Of course, I could also just stand by and do nothing.]
[Maybe it's because you've played against her for so long and haven't won a single game, so you're being looked down upon.]
"Pleasure" also had a sharp tongue. Even at a time like this, because of His earlier displeasure, He still had to throw another jab at [Knowledge].
But [Knowledge] at this moment couldn't stand any provocation at all. He had already been constantly annoyed by "Sin" before, then had His plans repeatedly denied by the Arbitrator, forced to start the game now.
Seeing [Pleasure] arrive earlier had given Him a slight bit of psychological comfort, because His own game wasn't afraid of [Pleasure] causing trouble.
You, [Pleasure], could mess around with other gods before? Well, come try it with me.
But then the other party shows up and says He's here to help?
So He showed absolutely no courtesy in return, replying:
[Hmph! My situation is none of your business!]
[As for you, being used like a hired thug by a human player in just a few exchanges, and you still look proud?]
[Did Agony's return make your mind go crazy too? I suggest you think about how you're going to deal with the aftermath of this later.]
[Pleasure]: !
The atmosphere of this beach and this sea instantly turned violent. Seven-colored divine light surged over the sea like a tide.
"Everyone, if you start fighting now, wouldn't you just be falling into his trap again?"
Seeing the two gods about to come to blows again, the Arbitrator began sweating bullets once more, quickly pointing at "Sin" to redirect the conflict.
"God of Knowledge, have you made up your mind? If you're sure, then your game can begin now."
"I will act as the referee here to ensure the game proceeds normally."
[Fine!] This time, Knowledge didn't say anything more and agreed directly. [However, since that's the case, I demand to add some rules.]
The Arbitrator's heart sank, but [Knowledge] had already turned to look at "Sin":
[Do you know what it means that I've increased the entire wager to the current game's upper limit, where it can't be increased further?]
"Means you can lose big to me all at once?"
[...It means that the power I can use shortly will be my full power. Apart from not being directly used to harm you, I can do anything.]
[Knowledge] shook His head, ignoring "Sin's" provocation, as if He had already sentenced him to death.
[I'd like to see if that guy Agony will still come to save you later!]
[Also, the rule change I mentioned earlier is about adding two more people. Since you're all here, you two, don't just stand there foolishly.]
As He spoke, He looked towards [Pleasure] and Xie Antong on the other side.
Xie Antong was directly stunned. This game really was different from the others; could outsiders just participate like that?!
"You... which game plan are you going to use?" the Arbitrator asked hesitantly from the side.
[The highest-level one.]
Hearing this, the Arbitrator was also shocked.
When the game was being set up, [Knowledge] had given Him several different game plans. He was supposed to choose a different game mode based on His earlier tests of "Sin."
Despite all His verbal disdain, [Knowledge] had still chosen to give "Sin" the highest level of respect.
If it was that game, then adding two more people didn't really matter.
"Alright, but the life, death, and victory or defeat of the two added game players do not represent the win or loss of their related factions. The final outcome still depends on the performance between you and Sin."
[Enough chatter! My game, do I need help? Letting them in is because I want to take care of them all. Count them as three together!]
[Knowledge]'s voice contained boundless confidence, actually directly stating His intention to fight one against three!
[Pleasure]'s expression gradually turned ferocious as He spoke:
[What are you talking about all by yourself? Did I say I agreed?]
[If you don't dare, then get out of my arena and go digest the power you just obtained.]
The atmosphere became extremely tense. Just as the Arbitrator was about to intervene again to balance the world's power, [Pleasure]'s expression instantly melted like ice and snow.
[Alright then, it's a rather interesting proposal. I'll play along with you all.]
The Arbitrator was immediately pleased and was about to explain the competition rules right away, but [Knowledge] had already come before "Sin."
[Congratulations. You've finally reached this step, earning the qualification to face me.]
[Come on. In your mind, think of anything you want. Think of it now.]
Lu Ce: ?
"Is this the game rule? Has it already started?"
[You can try more. Try to imagine something that you know, but I don't know.]
