Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 776: This halberd strikes towards despair!

He was very clear that "Sin" should now have completely understood his game and knew what the key to breaking the situation was.

Normally, letting an outsider spectator figure it out didn't matter.

Because according to [Despair]'s design, once someone participated in his game and entered the situation, under the influence and erosion of the Despair Secret Sea, even if they were told the specific method to break the situation, they couldn't do it.

But after all, a guy like "Sin" was notoriously a bit... unorthodox!

And right now, he himself was on the verge of death, completely ignoring his own game, and going all out to help this Perfect Life?

Huh? That's not right, this was a scenario He had never anticipated.

Did he think [Agony] would protect him? Or did he already think he was doomed and wanted to leave a strong fighter for humanity, betting everything on Perfect Life?

Regardless of the exact reason, such relentless effort made [Despair] feel somewhat less confident, worried that something unexpected might happen.

He couldn't afford to be careless. Forget "Sin," even that girl who had always been close to him had surprisingly delivered a heavy blow to Them just moments ago.

That blow really was like a resounding slap, curing Them of their indifferent mindset.At this moment, He also didn't want to give Perfect Life any time to react, and spoke directly:

[Alright, our game isn't over yet. Considering there's no need to waste time, let's continue.]

As He spoke, He controlled the enormous skeleton beneath Him, and a ship appeared in each of its left and right hands simultaneously, swaying on the churning black sea.

[Heh, a new choice has arrived.]

[Perfect Life, you should make, the correct choice......]

Perfect Life: !

He hadn't yet extricated himself from "Sin's" words, and now, a new choice was once again placed before him.

At the same time, a golden-haired figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Ce.

[Pleasure] seemed to have completely forgotten the displeasure of being weakened by Xie Antong earlier, the expression on his face having returned to that sense of enchantment and temptation.

He teased, speaking by Lu Ce's ear:

[Heh, is it my imagination? Why do I feel that after the little girl is about to be done for, your state seems to have changed a lot.]

[You've become serious. This kind of solemn feeling is really boring, looking like you want to kill us~.]

"No... it's... eat."

Lu Ce's reply this time was halting, and his voice lacked much of its usual liveliness, even sounding somewhat foolish.

Because the one speaking this time wasn't in the state belonging to "Greed," but the half of the face belonging to "Gluttony."

On that crimson, ferocious face, the mouth was still slightly open, the eyes filled with surging desire, firmly locked onto [Pleasure].

[Pleasure] slightly frowned. Among all of "Sin's" forms, this red-faced mask was the one that made Him feel the most uncomfortable, completely like facing an idiot.

It was a bit like another player in their world.

[Heh.]

With a light chuckle, [Pleasure] raised his hand and rested it on Lu Ce's shoulder, his entire body coiling around Lu Ce's form like an eel for a full circle.

He circled around to the front of the blue half of the face.

[It's my turn to say my lines. I was originally thinking of dragging things out, letting you die a bit, to get a handle on you.]

[But it turns out you don't care at all. It's already this critical, and you act completely unconcerned about time.]

[However, if you say a few nice words now, maybe I can still help you, say some words you need.]

If it were before, when He said such things, [Knowledge] wouldn't even spare a glance. But now, He couldn't help but allocate a bit of attention.

Xie Antong's move earlier had truly baffled Him, causing Him to now wonder if there really were any words that could still affect Them.

"If possible, you could stay farther away from me," Lu Ce said flatly.

[Oho, getting emotional, are we? Heh, although that little girl did well just now, it ends here.]

[On a top-tier battlefield like this, if the weaker side still has emotions, you'll lose even faster.]

As He spoke, He glanced at the countdown given by the Arbitrator on the other side and helplessly raised the index finger of his right hand.

[The Pathos of Things.]

The instant these words were spoken, the corner of the mouth on the blue half of "Sin's" face before Him visibly lifted into a smile!

[Pleasure]: ?

Did this game take effect this quickly? He just said it and immediately started getting happy, returning to normal?

However, He also saw that the other's eyes, which seemed like they could speak, glanced at Him with a hint of amusement.

...

Tch, could it be He was being used by this kid?

In the distance, two large ships fell into the water with a crash, directly torn into several pieces by the powerful black water energy.

Perfect Life's forehead was already covered in fine sweat, but behind him, "Sin's" voice rang out once more.

"Think clearly about what you truly want to do. Hurry up."

"If you really want to save something, what you need to do is eliminate the beings committing the harmful acts."

As these words were spoken, the Despair Secret Sea churned up layer upon layer of surging waves, seeming to become even more turbulent, accelerating the disintegration of the ship's hull.

On the sea surface, the players who had been swept in also seemed to realize something and began frantically calling for help.

Their voices were like ropes, pulling at Perfect Life in the middle, making it almost impossible for him to move.

Yet behind him, Lu Ce's voice continued to transmit steadily.

"When you need to arbitrate between two sides, the most likely outcome is displeasing both. You need to know what you want to do, know who you are."

"Heh."

After speaking for so long, even the most talkative, Greed, was getting a bit tired.

"Fool, after talking for so long, it all seems useless."

As he spoke, he raised his finger once more. This time, his arm was somewhat unsteady, as if his body was about to disintegrate under that devastatingly intense light.

"Emotion!"

As the word fell, Perfect Life opened his eyes at the same moment.

Facing the great sea before him, he whispered softly:

"Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Then, his figure shot forward, charging head-on into the churning black waves, treading upon the wave crests as he advanced!

Each footfall erupted with explosive booms, the recoil force launching him higher, only for him to charge headlong into even taller waves!

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, he soared straight into the sky, heading for the dazzling radiance above, charging towards the skull of the enormous skeleton!

Body leaning forward, his right hand reached back and grabbed. A golden Halberd materialized out of thin air, clenched forcefully in his hand.

—This was the truly correct choice in his heart!

This halberd strike, slashing towards despair!
