Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 764: All roads are blocked; everything should be done according to your ideas!

Xie Antong felt like her brain had crashed in that instant.

Ever since confirming that the concrete approach wasn't particularly effective and that she should use abstraction, she had been thinking about how to use this game to attack the gods.

One method was naturally to mess with Despair's game, to stir up conflict between Despair and Knowledge.

But that method might not work. After all, the Arbitrator would constantly stop them, and even if it did succeed, whether human players like herself could survive was uncertain.

The most direct method was to try and directly speak a god's name!

Since Despair could be summoned by Lu Ce, if she could directly make Knowledge disappear, then this game should be considered over.

She had actually planned this in her mind long ago, but it was very difficult to execute.

Because as she played, she realized this game was originally designed for two players. Expanding to four was a heavy blow to players like herself and Lu Ce!

Their strength was already insufficient. In a two-player game, one person could guide the other through language to say the desired word.

But with four players, there was absolutely no way to manipulate it. Even if you successfully guided someone, by the time it was your turn again, who knows what the situation would have become.So she could only think of each word on the spot. What she never expected was that Knowledge would actually deliver a word right before her eyes!

Ending with 'pleasure'... Was He trying to start internal strife now? To drive Pleasure out of her game?

Using her hand to mess with Pleasure?

The more she thought, the more Xie Antong felt her thoughts becoming hazy, a sensation of dizziness and confusion.

Her breathing gradually grew heavier, and her body temperature involuntarily rose quite a bit.

Tch!

What kind of awful word was He thinking of! "Carnal pleasure"?

Is this something a normal person could come up with?!

This clearly had an aphrodisiac effect. Xie Antong trembled slightly as she retrieved a vial of medicine from her game space.

It had been a long time since she had used this kind of drug...

[The opportunity is already laid out before you. Given your current condition, you may not have much time left for contemplation.]

Knowledge glanced at her sideways and said disdainfully.

On the other side, Pleasure, watching Xie Antong's state change, even felt his own power grow a tiny bit.

He currently spoke to Knowledge without a care in the world:

[This thing seems to have some benefit for me too. Are you being this kind? Thanks.]

His words made the Arbitrator in the sky, who was doing his utmost to maintain the balance between the two worlds, twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Seriously, did you really not notice at all that the word ended with 'pleasure'?

Xie Antong closed her eyes. No matter what, she absolutely had to try this opportunity.

She raised a finger and said, "Pleasure!"

As she spoke, her eyes stared fixedly at Pleasure, outlining his image in her mind.

[Hmm? What is it?]

Pleasure responded before suddenly realizing something was wrong. His power was draining away.

He abruptly stood up. Strands of fine, multicolored threads on his body gradually faded and dissolved into the surrounding space.

Meanwhile, Xie Antong's complexion instantly regained its rosy hue, as if the aphrodisiac-like state from before had never appeared.

The earlier "carnal pleasure" had now been counteracted by "pleasure."

And it wasn't just that. Xie Antong felt a level of calmness, even coldness, she had never experienced before, merely observing Pleasure's changes with a scrutinizing gaze.

Her current expression somewhat resembled Knowledge's.

However, the drain on Pleasure's power only lasted a very short time before settling down again.

He had only lost a tiny bit of power, but even that little bit made his face turn livid with displeasure.

He was here to have fun, not to be the fun! How could his own power be weakened?!

He stiffly turned his head slowly, glaring at Xie Antong with a hostile expression, his voice sounding somewhat sinister:

[Little girl... Was that just now an attempt to deal with me?!]

[Do you perhaps think I've been too easy on you?]

Xie Antong showed no reaction. Her eyes lowered, she replied calmly:

"It's just a game. This was also a gesture of goodwill from Knowledge. Wouldn't it be too boring if I didn't try it?"

Although her words showed no emotional fluctuation, a hint of grayish-white had already begun to appear in her lowered eyes.

So... it would be like this after all...

Pleasure then looked at Knowledge, only to hear Knowledge, quite uncharacteristically, let out a hearty laugh:

[Hahahaha! I said I'd speed this game up. Seeing you were always trying, I took the initiative to give you an opportunity.]

[Now you've seen for yourself. These attempts are useless. I said before the game started, the words you say must be concrete enough. But in fact, you have no idea what 'pleasure' actually is.]

[It's not concrete enough, so it's just a bit of insignificant emotion, a sliver of power from the fringes of His being. You can't make Him vanish into thin air with a single sentence.]

[By the same logic, you actually have no ability left to summon any other god either. They aren't that bored, and that Arbitrator brat definitely won't allow such a thing to happen.]

[As for the earlier 'despair,' that was because the power of the game allowed Him to be captured. He wanted to come Himself, insisted on using that excuse to enter.]

As the game progressed, Knowledge's mood was gradually improving, which was why He explained so much in one go.

Actually, even without His kicking her while she was down, Xie Antong had already realized all this. She was gradually discovering that every path she could think of seemed to be completely blocked!

This could even be considered Knowledge showing mercy. If He had casually given a word ending with "zhi" and induced her to say "knowledge"...

Then she would probably be an idiot by now!

A wave of powerlessness rose in her heart. Instinctive reliance made her turn her head to look at Lu Ce behind her.

She happened to see him also turning around. The smile on that blue face hadn't diminished in the slightest; he wasn't disheartened by the current setback. He opened his mouth and laughed:

"What's wrong? Feeling like it's not working?"

"...My next attempts might be very dangerous. If things go wrong..." Xie Antong replied hesitantly.

"Ah, how many times do I have to say it, it's fine!" Lu Ce waved his hand dismissively. "Just go with whatever you think is best!"
