Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 779: Only He Knows—The Arbiter’s Review ✨

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Having spoken too many words in one breath, he looked half-dead, coughing uncontrollably for a long time.

This was also thanks to the Arbitrator, who had withdrawn that lethal light, allowing his Gluttony ability to repair him rapidly. Otherwise, how could he possibly have the ability to speak?

The four divine-level characters above couldn't help but look at him. Pleasure's state of mind was the most detached at this moment, but she suddenly shuddered.

She recalled the condition that Sin had temporarily added when the Arbitrator was explaining the rules at the very beginning of this game.

—As long as the game's outcome has been confirmed, one can choose not to explain the reason for victory.

Because the reason for winning was his greatest trump card as a human overcoming a stronger opponent, and it was quite reasonable not wanting to tell others.

But, doesn't this mean... he had already figured out how to win before the game even started?

And, he actually managed to follow his script all the way through.

But, this simply isn't reasonable, that's not something a person can do!One must understand, the format of this game is very special—word chain. Changing just a single word would make everything completely different.

Not to mention, there were things like "Ge Ling Mo" that don't exist on Blue Star and that he absolutely couldn't have known about.

Also, before the game started, he couldn't have possibly anticipated that she and Xie Antong would suddenly appear and participate in his game.

This is a game with infinite variables, completely unpredictable! But...

[So this is the weapon of thought you mentioned before, which is why you don't want anyone to know the method of winning, right?]

Pleasure said with some difficulty. His expression was unusually serious at this moment, and he even felt a trace of wariness towards this figure whose strength was far inferior to his own.

Hearing Pleasure's words, the Arbitrator also suddenly recalled what Sin had said earlier, his heart trembling slightly.

Right, back then he specifically added that sentence, and I didn't realize what he was planning at the time!

So he had already anticipated even the current situation back then?

This is truly somewhat terrifying...

Knowledge's expression was also exceptionally ugly at this moment. Clearly, he was well aware of what Sin had said before the game, and he even remembered his own response back then.

At that time, he only thought Sin was seeking death and didn't consider any issues at all. Even he himself had agreed back then.

He himself had agreed to the rule, so there really was nothing to say, but... this is clearly wrong! No matter how he looked at it, he shouldn't be in a losing state.

But according to the rules, losing is losing, and one doesn't have to explain why they lost...

This feeling was truly unbearable.

Even the countless Blue Star spectators currently watching Lu Ce's perspective were dumbfounded. Whether they wanted Sin to win or not, none of them understood how he had won!

[: Come on, can anyone who understands explain? How exactly is this considered a win?]

[: I studied the rules of their game again and still don't understand at all.]

[: He's already won, so why not reveal it? That would make the other side accept their loss more wholeheartedly.]

Lu Ce naturally didn't care about the varied comments. What he wanted was to wrongfully condemn Knowledge to death and make the other side not understand what was happening.

After all, these gods themselves designed the games and acted as referees, having unfairly trapped and killed who knows how many players.

Cheating under such circumstances was, of course, a righteous act, repaying them in their own coin.

This couldn't be considered him being dishonorable, because he had already warned the other side long ago.

At the beginning of the game, he had told the other side—"I will turn your people against you."

It was just that Knowledge back then thought he was referring to Pleasure, so of course he had no obligation to explain it to Him.

[I do not accept this type of defeat. I question your ruling. I show no signs of defeat whatsoever. In fact, he would have died in just a few more seconds.]

[I question the standards of your ruling.]

Knowledge said coldly to the Arbitrator before him.

However, by this point, with the protective umbrella of the rule Lu Ce had established in advance, He had completely let loose. With a very serious expression, He said:

"Sorry, bound by duty, I cannot explain why."

"But my ruling is absolutely fair. You said it yourself earlier: since the result has been obtained, there's no need to dwell on the reasons for the process anymore."

"After all, this is also the player's secret."

Knowledge: ...

"Hahahahaha! Well said."

Lu Ce lay on the ground, laughing loudly, making both parties in the conversation somewhat uncomfortable.

Knowledge felt this was mocking him, the victor kicking him while he was down.

The Arbitrator, however, had a slightly twitching corner of his mouth, as he had essentially boarded a pirate ship to some extent.

Saying something like "the most impartial existence in the universe" at this point would be rather nauseating even to himself.

Although he was very displeased with Sin's grating laughter at this moment, in his heart, he was already filled with wariness towards this person.

Playing under the watchful eyes of the entire world, observed by three gods, with no one knowing what had happened.

But He knew, and only He knew! He knew just how that dying guy before him had managed to deceive everyone.

Every single word he said to Perfect Life, every single one! Was actually meant for Him!

All the seemingly nonsensical, talkative, and snarky behavior he displayed in this game was actually a grand ceremony of persuasion and surrender!

—"Some things, if you face them, you only get this one chance. If you're cowardly, the next opportunity might never come!"

—"When you need to choose between two sides, the most likely outcome is that you'll please neither. You need to know what you want to do, who you are."

—"Don't let the talents you were born with become your shackles. What kind of person you become is still up to you."

...

Recalling these various words now was like a thunderclap.

The Arbitrator even felt his consciousness was somewhat chaotic. He was trying his best to review, to piece together just how the other side had played this game.

How had he been so fooled into walking down a completely unknown path!?
