Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 756: World Collision, Bringing the Despairing Secret Sea!

What is the antonym of hope?

According to the latest revised edition of the Modern Chinese Dictionary, there isn't actually a fixed official term. Even if there were, these gods might not recognize it.

Disappointment, hopelessness, despair, discouragement...

But none of that matters. The moment Lu Ce raised his finger, his mind had already begun constructing the image of that entity filled with despair, that Black Energy.

That guy he had only met a few times, whose true appearance he didn't even know at all.

Based on [Knowledge]'s previous description of the Game, if he couldn't accurately outline the specific image of the word in his mind, the game world would likely get confused.

Was he familiar with Him? Not at all!

Could he accurately outline His image? Of course not!

But could he summon [Despair] here? He thought he could!

Because this was a lesson learned from Xie Antong's example, a reminder that told him the simplest shortcut method in this Game:— Whether you can do it or not isn't that important, as long as They are willing to cooperate.

Did Xie Antong really brainwash [Pleasure], a True God at full power, that easily? Of course not, that was the other party's own choice.

[Pleasure] was restless from the start, and internal strife was inherently a factor among the gods. She just lit a fire, giving [Pleasure] a plausible excuse.

Then this matter was simple. He... just needed to give [Despair] an excuse to come here, right?

It just depended on whether He wanted to come!

......

Lu Ce's words fell, and the entire world showed no reaction whatsoever. [Knowledge] vigilantly sensed the energy fluctuations around, and seeing no response, made an almost imperceptible movement of relief.

This "Sin" was truly mad, actually wanting to pull another god in!

There were rule limitations within His Game. Normally, even gods couldn't enter, but He wasn't entirely sure if [Despair] could enter because of the other party's utterance of that word!

After all, it had never been tried...

Just as He was thinking this, He suddenly felt the image before Him blur. His eyes slightly adjusted focus, and He abruptly discovered that [Pleasure]'s face was almost pressed against His own!

[Knowledge]: !!

It was almost a reflex. His body jerked violently backward as He glared furiously at the [Pleasure] before Him:

[You!......]

[Hahahahaha!] Pleasure laughed mockingly right in His face, [You panicked just now, didn't you? Didn't you!]

[You acted so high and mighty when the game started, and after just a few words, something unexpected happened for you?]

[Weren't you just scared out of your wits, afraid that adding a "Despair" midway would disrupt that feeling of having everything under control?]

[Knowledge]: ......

He felt that before the game had even properly progressed, this "Sin" and [Pleasure] seemed to have unsettled His energy just by annoying Him.

[Hmph... No need for your concern. Even if He comes, within my game, I am the absolute ruler.]

"Good!"

As His words fell, three consecutive roars of "Good!" suddenly echoed in the sky.

Who was speaking?

The voice didn't belong to anyone present here, which meant...

The game world, which had shown no reaction at all, suddenly began shaking violently once more.

The bright sky suddenly turned gray. The sapphire-blue, gem-like seawater boiled and churned furiously. The shaking of the entire world was even more terrifying than when [Pleasure] had uttered "everlasting life" earlier.

Apart from Lu Ce, everyone and every god currently in the game, including the Arbitrator, looked up in astonishment at the surrounding space.

As for Lu Ce, he lay back somewhat leisurely, enjoying the beach as if on vacation, watching the gradually darkening sky, and muttered to himself:

"I knew it. Having called your name like that, how could you possibly not come, hehehe..."

"Waited so long. Looks like you came with big preparations?..."

On the other side, [Pleasure] in the sky wore an exceptionally twisted expression, worry mixed with an excitement that was fundamentally impossible to suppress.

[Hey, what's wrong with your game? Even if He really comes, can't your world even contain one god?]

[Shut up!] "Knowledge" said with great impatience.

Now He was also within His own game. The energy and authority contained within this world, in theory, should all be above His!

Even if [Despair] really came, how could there be shaking of this magnitude?

[Is anyone there?!]

Again, that explosive roar came from the sky. This time, everyone could sense that the voice belonged to [Despair]!

Only now, His voice lacked much of its previous eeriness, instead carrying several degrees of anger.

[The guest has arrived. Wasn't it the host who invited me?]

Boom!

Following a terrifying loud noise, the shockwave from the tremor directly knocked Xie Antong over, making her land right beside the already prone Lu Ce.

"Well, well? Here to enjoy the view too?"

Xie Antong: ......

She truly admired the mindset of the Greed-version Lu Ce. In this entire world, he was probably the only one who truly treated "CHOSEN’S PARADISE!" as a game to play.

Naturally, she wasn't in that state of mind right now. She had been thinking all along about how they could possibly win, and now she needed to focus on what was happening to the world.

Looking out over the sea, on the distant horizon, a ten-thousand-meter-high tidal wave now rose! Like a wall separating worlds!

The seawater was pitch black like ink, giving off a feeling of oppressive heaviness just by looking at it, completely different from the azure-blue ocean near the beach.

[Knowledge]'s face was now shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern anything, but one could imagine it wouldn't be a pleasant sight.

This was... a collision of two worlds! When did [Despair] also go mad?!

The Arbitrator's figure instantly flashed, shooting up into the sky, stabilizing the shockwaves from the collision of the two worlds, trying to calm the ten-thousand-meter-high tidal wave as much as possible.

From a high-altitude view, this boundless sea that enveloped the entire world was half pitch black, half azure blue.

[Hmph, you abducted my person, and even invited me over as well. Such enthusiasm...]

As the world stabilized, a pitch-black figure condensed into form in the sky.

[I originally thought only Pleasure was the one with mental issues, and had been on guard all along. Turns out He didn't come, but you dragged me here instead... Knowledge!]

[What, too much knowledge? Does that also easily lead to mental problems?]

[Since your hospitality is hard to refuse, I'll bring my Despair Secret Sea along to take a look! I presume you welcome that.]
