Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 758: Will to Die! After I die, humanity will depend on you

The Arbitrator shifted slightly to the left and right, realizing that guy's gaze was indeed still fixed on him. He immediately felt even more awkward.

This fellow's sense of madness truly felt increasingly severe, staring at him until he felt a chill down his spine.

However, The Game had never stipulated that staring wasn't allowed. As the referee, he couldn't really say much about it either. He could only pretend not to notice and shifted his own line of sight elsewhere.

At this moment, Perfect Life hadn't noticed anything amiss. After all, he wasn't paying attention to who Sin was currently looking at. His complete focus was on Despair ahead of him.

Gently shaking his head, he spoke up.

"You don't understand. His method of playing isn't to deal with me, but to slaughter the other players..."

"You seem to be making excuses for yourself." Lu Ce's deep blue face still wore an expression of having everything under control as he interrupted with a laugh.

"Why do I feel you're very different today? You look both weak and useless."

Perfect Life's face twitched. Faced with Sin's merciless mockery, he was somewhat at a loss for words.

Because, in fact, he himself had this feeling too!He touched his neck. The injection site there had long since healed, but it seemed to still ache faintly now.

Recalling those Illuminati members he had killed just hours ago, their blood-red eyes and those ferocious words could still surface in his mind.

—"Perfect Life! Since we could create you, we naturally have the means to counter you!"

His expression turned somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected that at this critical juncture where humanity's very survival hung in the balance, he would be sabotaged by people from within humanity itself...

"My condition is indeed somewhat problematic. I might be poisoned, but clearly my power hasn't weakened at all..."

[Poisoned?]

Suddenly, Knowledge, who had been standing to the side not speaking much, as if observing coldly from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak up.

He slightly turned his head, looking at Perfect Life, and spoke mockingly as if showing off his knowledge.

[If not for your words, I would have thought you were evolving?]

[If that wasn't your original intention, and you still think it's poisoning... it seems Despair's chosen one isn't much either.]

Knowledge spoke from a position of superiority. By the end, a tone of arrogance could actually be heard in his words.

Even the Arbitrator found it strange, thinking to himself, why does what you're saying sound so proud? What exactly are you proud of?

Meaning the person you chose is stronger? Weren't you just saying you've always looked down on "Sin"?

Perfect Life looked over with a puzzled expression, not understanding what the other was talking about, but he didn't ask either.

He didn't need to ask!

Knowledge seemed to have quite a desire to perform in this aspect, opening his mouth to say:

[Within your body, the information and knowledge that constitute your life form are currently undergoing chaotic reorganization.]

[Using terms from your side... hmm, it might be called the genome.]

[Poisoned? Heh...]

He shook his head, not offering any further evaluation. In his view, he didn't even see the point of this change.

It didn't affect the other's life; it was purely informational reorganization. Some boring thing designed by who knows who.

But Perfect Life's face turned even more unsightly. He instantly realized his biggest problem.

His genome was strictly designed, the most "perfect" creation.

The Corruption Potion... that thing's effect had only one purpose: to make him no longer "perfect." His genome had been altered!

"Ah~ You seem to be showing a pathetic expression. It truly disgusts me, heh..."

On the other side, Lu Ce arrived almost immediately to deliver his mockery.

"A life born in a laboratory, pieced together, actually genuinely takes pride in that identity?"

"Given a chance to be human in your own way, and your backbone just can't straighten?"

Perfect Life was deeply stung by these words, slowly closing his eyes.

Xie Antong looked at Lu Ce somewhat hesitantly. She felt there was no need to torment Perfect Life so harshly at this moment.

But she soon froze. Where was Lu Ce looking while saying this?

Following his gaze, she saw the completely innocent-looking Arbitrator floating in the air.

Huh?

After a long moment, Perfect Life reopened his eyes. The torchlight that had long been extinguished in his gaze seemed to have rekindled from the ashes.

But now, he was already resolved to die!

Even he himself hadn't realized that in the past, this would have been nearly impossible. Because being resolved to die meant believing you would lose...

"Sin... I still don't know your real name."

"But it doesn't matter."

Raising his head, the unextinguishable will within those golden pupils seemed to emit tangible rays of light, shooting toward the distant black sea, toward that seemingly insurmountable mountain towering upon it.

Within his golden long hair, many strands had already turned ash-gray again.

"You must win!"

"After I die, this world will depend on you."

After delivering this "last words," an Eight Trigrams instantly rose beneath his feet, and his entire person vanished instantly.

After several teleportation-like leaps through the air, he charged glaringly toward Despair.

"Wait... it's not like you were this world's savior before or anything." Lu Ce offered a very tone-deaf retort.

[Oh?]

Watching Perfect Life charging over, Despair suddenly discovered that this guy he had basically already played to the point of being useless seemed to have rekindled some fighting spirit.

Good, this is better.

Casually raising a hand, that sky-obscuring, sun-blocking enormous skeleton frame rose from the black seawater, standing up.

"Huh? It's this thing." Lu Ce saw it and couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

However, he wasn't overly surprised either. Suddenly, he began dancing around as if having a fit, shouting at the Arbitrator.

"I won! I won! Hurry up and announce I've already won."

Arbitrator: ?

Originally feeling a bit unnerved from being stared at earlier, he was now even more baffled, not understanding what this meant.

"Our speaking time for vocabulary should be limited, right? It's been so long, and Knowledge hasn't spoken again!"

Knowledge's energy form trembled instantly. This works?!

Immediately after, he sharply looked at the Arbitrator.

"...Just now, there was a disruption within The Game caused by Despair's arrival. That's understandable. It doesn't count."

"However, from now on, there will be a time limit, no matter what happens."

"Tsk, failure. You won't even do me this small favor. Isn't this just a matter of you, the referee, saying one sentence?" Lu Ce said disappointedly, then walked toward Xie Antong, passing by her side.

"You keep Them company and play around for a bit. I'm going over there to watch the show, hehe..."
