Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 757: Go For It, Perfect Life — You’ve Already Been Strengthened!

Lu Ce was right. As long as he provided a suitable excuse, Despair would never not show up!

Especially since just now Xie Antong had even snatched Perfect Life from the other side’s hand, a move so masterful it seemed divine. How could He possibly swallow that grievance?

And the Despair Secret Sea even had the word despair in its name! Perfectly timed, it was brought over with Him.

This was not a casually opened space. This world had always been Despair’s main location for collecting despair. If placed in a fantasy novel, it would be almost equivalent to a character’s “true treasure.”

Its level was no lower than the game space Knowledge had created, so now the collision of the two game worlds was comparable to two planets striking each other.

“Huh? You’re here too? Emmm... did you set this up together for me? The two of you actually teamed up, unbelievable.”

Despair turned his head and noticed Pleasure standing not far from Knowledge. He spoke with some surprise.

“Do you not realize how ridiculous that sounds? Why would I cooperate with Him? I just came to have some fun. I didn’t expect the amusement to get bigger and bigger. Honestly, I’m delighted.”

Pleasure said with a smiling face. Among everyone present, He was probably the least stressed. He didn’t care about winning or losing and was playing purely for fun, like a spectator who had wandered into the game.

Beside him, Knowledge was bathed in white light, representing His belief that knowledge was a sacred existence, echoing in contrast with the pitch-black Despair.He wanted to tell Despair that Despair was not the one He had summoned, that his people were called by that woman, that Despair had been called by Sin...

But if he explained now, it would sound like he was afraid of the other, unwilling to face him head-on!

So he ultimately offered no extra explanation, only shook his head and said:

“Whatever. This is my game. Here, no matter who you are or how many of you come, I don’t care.”

Despair likewise refused to yield in the slightest.

“Oh? My game? I thought this was my game!”

Black and white intertwined and clashed in the sky, and the atmosphere was clearly drifting away from the original game state. The Arbitrator’s voice rang out in the sky again.

“Stop! Your game worlds are about to collapse.”

His figure flashed back among the gathered, letting out a long breath. He looked unusually frail.

Suppressing the impact of two worlds colliding and calming the energies was not difficult for him.

But the real problem was the rule conflicts between the two game worlds. Even He found it hard to tolerate. As the judge, He had to balance these conflicts, which made Him feel almost split in spirit.

“What? My world is still stable. There’s no problem.”

Knowledge said coldly.

That’s because I just helped stabilize this world!

The Arbitrator’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing more, only briefly pointing out the remaining issue.

In truth, it was the rules conflict between the two sides, since the two worlds had temporarily merged.

He suppressed the Despair Secret Sea and used Knowledge’s life-and-death boundary rules as the primary framework, but once both games ran at the same time, rule conflicts could still arise.

As he spoke, a chilling aura began to spread, and Despair’s voice came through.

“My Despair Secret Sea, why has it been relegated to a lower position!”

Knowledge on the other side was not pleased either.

“You can’t even handle this? If you can’t, then let Him leave!”

A strange anger rose in the Arbitrator’s heart, but it quickly dissipated. He knew the gods wouldn’t care about complaints against their service-type judge.

After thinking for a moment, He could only say helplessly:

“Fine. Let the games proceed simultaneously. I will act as judge for both as best I can, trying to prevent any essential conflicts between the two worlds’ rules.”

This was a hard problem. Who could have expected that Sin, a human playing a game, would mobilize three gods and cause two worlds to collide and fuse?

For now, they could only temporarily merge.

Just as the Arbitrator thought of Sin, Lu Ce over on that side had already spoken:

“Heh heh, it’s livelier with more people around. Let’s play like this.”

“Also, Despair, don’t misunderstand. It wasn’t Knowledge who called you. He’s just the landlord providing the game venue.”

When she heard his voice, the scene instantly quieted. Four or five pairs of eyes turned to stare incredulously at that blue face full of greed.

Did he actually say that?

When did he ever say anything so reasonable — even offering to explain!?

Pleasure and the other gods even suspected whether he was possessed by something.

Only Xie Antong furrowed her brow. She knew he hadn’t finished; there must be more to come.

“Heh heh, actually it was him who called you.” Lu Ce continued, pointing at Perfect Life.

“Your game hadn’t ended yet, so he was pulled here. Of course he wasn’t happy and started shouting that he’d deal with you. There was nothing to be done, so we dragged you over.”

Despair: ?

Is that true?

Perfect Life: ?

Perfect Life’s eyes widened as he stared at Lu Ce, thinking, is this when you betray me? Don’t you check the timing!?

He grit his teeth, but didn’t attempt to explain. He stood and looked straight up at Despair in the sky.

“Go for it, Perfect Life! Don’t be afraid, you’ve already been strengthened!” Lu Ce’s voice shouted behind him absurdly.

Don’t be afraid?... What’s going on, was I just afraid?

A flicker of confusion passed through Perfect Life’s eyes. His genes had been edited with a program for fearlessness; by rights he shouldn’t harbor such weak doubts.

Why did he feel so weak and powerless today...

Talking to himself without knowing who he addressed, he clenched his fist and murmured:

“I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of losing...”

“It’s just his game mode...”

“Cut the excuses already, what mode what not.” Lu Ce interrupted immediately, his blue face full of teasing, mischievous smiles.

“Some things, you just go forward and do! Do it this once. If you retreat, the next chance might never come.”

Unexpectedly, Greed would even encourage someone.

Only the Arbitrator balancing the two worlds in the sky felt awkward.

Tsk...

This guy is provoking Perfect Life, so why does he keep talking to me? Is he sick?
