Chapter 768: Could It Be That You Like That Guy?
When the Arbitrator heard the word "rules" come out, he instinctively mobilized his own energy, wondering if it was time for him to intervene again.
As it turned out, this was a kind of stress response on his part. Nothing like what he imagined happened, and the world's stability far exceeded his expectations.
It was as if nothing had happened at all, which made him involuntarily heave a sigh of relief.
It seemed that "Sin" was, after all, not [Pleasure]. The fundamental challenge to the game's rules still wasn't as potent as the effect a god could produce.
The power he had originally gathered slowly calmed down, and he even felt a sudden, hollow emptiness within his body.
Moreover, that "Sin" at the edge of his vision seemed to be looking at him again, with a very eerie smile on his face.
Tsk... Could he change that face of his? Half red and half blue was truly terrifying.
Why was he looking at him again? From the start of this game until now, he had never played seriously, yet he seemed to glance his way from time to time.
This led the Arbitrator to feel a bit unsure now, wondering if it was possible the other party wasn't looking at him at all, but was just gazing in some random direction...
Beside [Knowledge], a flicker of strangeness also passed through [Pleasure]'s eyes.Although He didn't directly mock like [Knowledge] did, He also felt that this "rule" was far too presumptuous.
The many spectators within the game were also somewhat quiet at the moment. After anticipating for so long, the result was just such a promising start with a disappointing finish.
Xie Antong frowned deeply, not quite understanding what Lu Ce was doing.
She didn't believe the other party would act without purpose. It was impossible for him not to know about these game rules that had long since been thoroughly tested.
This wasn't a question of mental stability. Even if "Greed" took over completely, he couldn't forget something like this.
Especially now, seeing the world unchanged, Lu Ce's expression also showed no surprise.
Therefore, he must have some unknown purpose of his own. And what worried her most right now was, would [Knowledge] see through it?
If Lu Ce wanted to hide some special purpose, wasn't this method a bit too obvious? From the corner of her eye, she could already see that [Pleasure] seemed to be harboring some suspicion.
Right at this moment, Lu Ce, who had been grinning ferociously without much reaction, suddenly spoke loudly:
"Really, no reaction at all? That's not very likely, is it?"
"What are you still waiting for? You have to try it, don't you? This is the chance, Perfect Life!"
Lu Ce, with his back to [Knowledge] and the others behind him, faced the endless black sea floating in the equally pitch-black void ahead and roared.
After the great explosion, [Pleasure] had used His power to create a medium, allowing sound to propagate more clearly. As a result, Lu Ce's earth-shaking roar at this moment was an assault on the eardrums.
His words seemed to be directed at Perfect Life.
But the Arbitrator swore he was clearly looking at *him* while roaring, and roaring so loudly, as if afraid he wouldn't hear!
Are you insane? Is your eyesight faulty?
However, the Arbitrator at this moment was floating above the black sea, generally facing the same direction as Perfect Life.
This meant that, apart from himself, no one else noticed this tiny issue with the gaze of the currently frenzied "Sin".
Furthermore, from the very start of the game, Lu Ce had been facing this black sea and had never looked back.
Therefore, his current behavior and actions all seemed perfectly reasonable, leaving only the Arbitrator utterly bewildered.
Perfect Life shook his head, dragging his heavy body, and abruptly looked up.
He didn't turn around, but "Sin"'s deafening roar had already awakened him, letting him know what he should do.
Incredible shock flickered in his eyes. "Sin" was abandoning his own side of the game to choose to use the power from *his* side of the game to help him?!
Since when was our relationship this good?
Although countless thoughts raced through his mind, they didn't delay his actions. In almost an instant, his figure made several leaps across the black sea.
On the massive skeleton's left hand, several players were suspended by different strands of energy thread.
They had never experienced a battle against a deity before and were basically all in a state of mental collapse, completely lacking any sense or ability for self-preservation.
Perfect Life's figure instantly flashed beside them. Using his own energy, he severed the restraining threads in an instant and caught this batch of people.
Based on previous patterns, if he saved this batch, the other batch would surely die.
But this time, Perfect Life had a premonition in his heart. This time, he had hope of succeeding!
The skeleton was simply too enormous. The distance between its hands seemed to span countless mountains and rivers, a completely unimaginable gap.
Its other hand was already swatting the batch of players it held toward the churning black sea.
In any previous instance, he absolutely could not have made it in time. But this time, he actually did!
His body directly swapped positions with that batch of players about to be killed. Facing the mountain-like giant hand, he pushed forward with both hands flat, thrusting out an Eight Trigrams diagram, forcibly withstanding the blow for a single instant.
Just this instant was enough. His body instantly traversed space again, leaving that place.
Boom!
The skeleton's five fingers slammed into the sea, causing a terrifying tsunami. The dark seawater churned up waves ten thousand zhang high.
"Nicely done!"
This time, Perfect Life, who had managed to escape, finally swung his fist forcefully and roared with exceptional excitement.
As he spoke, he cast a somewhat grateful glance toward the distant "Sin".
He had succeeded. He had finally, simultaneously, saved everyone. This time, he had finally made the right choice!
After all, in the previous, drawn-out killing game, he had tried and failed to save any group, saved one group, saved a few experts... In short, he had failed every time...
He didn't know how many innocent people had died due to his hesitation, but in any case, this time he had saved them all!
He raised his head. Golden light reignited in his eyes, which had begun to grow somewhat dull and ashen, as he looked toward [Despair].
"It seems that just now, 'Sin' broke your rule, that cheating rule restriction of yours."
"So now, I've won!"
At this moment, the expressions of the four Divine-level Beings present were each more spectacular than the last, each with their own unspoken thoughts.
[Pleasure] turned his head somewhat bewilderedly, looking at Lu Ce and said:
[After all that fuss, you were helping him with his game?...]
[You're not into guys, are you.]
