Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 760: The Completely Out of the Spotlight, the Gods Reveal Their Faces

Pleasure's words made Xie Antong clearly understand that this asymmetrical war manifested in every aspect!

This was a war of memory versus imagination. When it came to constructing "imagination" about unknown things, even Lu Ce on her side absolutely couldn't do better than Knowledge!

As for memory association with vocabulary, especially in Chinese, that should have been her strongest area. Yet Pleasure's move had ruthlessly strangled even that.

"Ge Ling Mo" — this thing she had no idea what it was — actually existed in this universe! It was the gods' phonetic translation of its name!

What was there left to play? Didn't that mean all her designs in this area had already become bubbles, bursting into nothing?

Even if she could really guide the vocabulary to a character never used as an opening in Chinese, the opponent could instantly dismantle it using this method.

Then what... was there even to say?

Who the hell knew what all the unknown things in this universe were named!

Xie Antong instantly felt a peculiar sense of suffocation and couldn't help muttering to herself:

"This... in a word chain game... is practically a cheating method."Right at that moment, the Arbitrator's voice sounded from the sky, perfectly timed.

"No cheating behavior has occurred in this game. Ge Ling Mo is indeed a creature that existed and was named by the gods before the game began."

"The game continues."

Xie Antong: ......

Of course, she wasn't actually accusing the gods of cheating here. It was just that feeling of being completely crushed by a power outside the rules was truly unpleasant.

Especially since this area should, in theory, be her forte. In previous games, she was often outmatched in strength. This time, facing Knowledge, she was being completely crushed in her own area of expertise.

[How boring. Starting to use these kinds of words already? Could have played with her a bit more.]

Knowledge snorted coldly. He wasn't talking to Xie Antong; he was speaking to Pleasure.

This kind of thing ensured his invincibility, but actually, he felt he didn't need these methods to win either.

[Hehe, little girl, actually, I'm doing this for your own good.] On the other side, Pleasure also ignored him, instead speaking to Xie Antong with a smug expression.

[I'm telling you in advance that he has this method, so you don't need to waste any more effort. See how bad he is? He still wants to make you walk further and further down the wrong path into despair.]

[So, now use that clever little head of yours and think if there's any other fun to be had.]

Listening to Pleasure's words that seemed to carry a bit of comfort, Xie Antong felt not the slightest bit comforted. Possibly, she felt even more despair.

Hearing his words, Knowledge just shook his head disdainfully.

[Hehe. Knowledge isn't petty cleverness, not your pointless twists and turns. It's quantitative, absolute crushing.]

[It doesn't matter. I said I have time. You can try as you please, until you deeply realize...]

Before he could finish, the exceptionally heavy and oppressive atmosphere here was suddenly interrupted by a nonsensical voice.

"Whoa, damn! Where did this bunch of big-headed sons come from?"

By the seaside, Lu Ce, who had been observing the distant black sea and skeleton, suddenly jumped up and shouted.

At the edge of the near shore, a large group of jellyfish-like things had suddenly appeared.

But those clearly weren't jellyfish. They were "Ge Ling Mo" summoned by the "Vitality Force."

Their heads looked like large cylindrical mushrooms, each over two meters in diameter, like giant jellies.

The tentacles beneath their bodies, however, were completely disproportionate — only about six or seven tentacles, each a foot long, scraping along the ground as they moved forward, trembling slightly.

Because of this overly disproportionate appearance, Lu Ce directly called them "big-headed sons."

A group of "Ge Ling Mo" filled the entire seaside, forming a beautiful scenic line. Lu Ce lifted a foot and directly kicked one over.

Once flipped, it couldn't get back up. Several tentacles waved in the air, looking exceptionally pitiful. Just arrived in this world and already bullied by a blue-faced lunatic.

In front was the despairing black sea; behind was the game being crushed by Knowledge. But this didn't affect Lu Ce having fun playing with this completely unfamiliar species.

[Hey, that... what's his name again, Agony kid, the game is still going on. It's your turn. Time is almost up.]

Seeing him having fun, Pleasure even kindly reminded him. You should know, even the Arbitrator hadn't reminded Lu Ce!

"What? What game?"

After looking up, Xie Antong also saw the progress bar in front of the Arbitrator's avatar in the sky, almost reaching its end. She immediately shouted urgently:

"Word! It's your turn! Say a word!"

After all, he was in Overload state. She wouldn't be surprised by anything Lu Ce did. If he really was completely out of the loop and forgot the game, that would be hilarious.

"What word? What should I say?"

"Anything! Word chain game. The character you get is 'Mo'."

"Word chain game? What nonsense is that? Who designed this crappy game to mess around?"

Knowledge: ......

"Hmm, mo... then 'blur' or 'vague'. That should meet the requirements, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ce seemed to casually give a word, raising his finger just as the countdown reached its last second.

Xie Antong couldn't help but sigh in relief, just in time to see Lu Ce look over at her.

"You seem a bit tense and stiff. It's fine. Just like you said yourself earlier, just say anything."

With that, he turned back to continue playing with the "Ge Ling Mo," casually punching another one over.

Xie Antong: ?

Was he hinting at something to me...

Regardless, in this game, the effect of "blur/vague" had already begun to take effect.

Unlike everyone before, this was a very abstract noun, and Lu Ce had almost nothing specific in his mind!

That is to say, this "blur/vague" was completely settled by the game according to its own standards.

Instantly, the previously stable game world began to shake again! The entire world seemed to be brushed by some light, becoming exceptionally bright!

The reflections on the sea water vanished, looking unnaturally unreal like a painting. Even the distant Sea of Despair looked much clearer.

The Arbitrator was speechless. What did it mean that this guy casually saying two words caused world-shaking turbulence? This game was purely playing with him!

And that wasn't the real reason for the world shaking. The most serious part was that the blurry, cloud-and-mist-shrouded feeling on the faces of the gods began to gradually disperse...
